TP into the stormie, land practiced brawler and TP away again is another good way of KOing 50%+ of a stormies health away

[/ QUOTE ] thats a very good tactic in fact. Its one of the pains for a storm troller. Of course a could team prepared for that always has a counter to that such as empaths one dedicated to the stormie serving as belt. And of course depends a lot on the stormie build.

[ QUOTE ]
About the Hurricane/bus stop thing... I think it's because repel (the attribute of certain powers) ALWAYS works and can't be resisted. This means that anyone with a repel power is completely safe from ALL meele classes, and can throw them into corners from which they have no chance of getting out. Add an accuracy check, and viola. Problem solved.

[/ QUOTE ]

That is not correct imho. Pvp is team based and thats the reason arenas exist for 1vs1 battles. The existance of powers like ID and self/friend teleport and TK and sets like enrergy that negate the hurricane totally justify the autohit function. If the stalker tactics is hit and run which imho is totally correct and well played the hurricane blockage is a very serious tactic against running stalkers.

Noone can seriously say that using your powers to the max is an exploit.If thats the case we might as well agree all to play with brawl.

As for the storm set. I said it before i say it again its the wildcard against stalkers just like the stalker is the wildcard against hero teams. Its all rock paper scissors.

Tp foe. Well some know to use it some dont. The fact that last night the opposing team tried to tp the storm troller with hurricane on is at least laughable. The -acc hits as soon as tp hit and they just manage make me put the boombox out. Prioritize targets...if u took the pb that was filing nails and was killing the team around while i was distracting all with trashtalk and waving the red cloth then it would be tougher. Problem is most are like raging bulls. They go for the red cloth

[ QUOTE ]
its an exploit by which the definition is using terrain in a way not intended by the dev's.

[/ QUOTE ]

If the devs did not intend this kind of terrain tactics the containers would not have openings. Furthermore as long as there is way to counter that and AT's that avoid this its certainly no exploit.However the towrs in sirens are exploit but noone used them

[ QUOTE ]
here is certainly nothing skillfull in that style of play.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually it is very skillful and u can make a stormie and try it and see how fast i will floor you to ground.

[ QUOTE ]
Anyhow a few of us sent petitions out on it as we were forced to disconnect to escape and quite frankly none of the dev's I'm sure want to see people bouncing on and off the server due to this.

[/ QUOTE ]

Disconnecting to avoid death is unskillful and i consider it very very lame.

[ QUOTE ]
Got no problem with most controllers in PvP I find them a challenging class to play against.

[/ QUOTE ]

thats at least laughable. U consider challenge the controllers that have no chance interupt your AS and are easy prey. I bet a force bubble cornering you would be as lame as well for you in fact it would be even worse the whine because you have not the slightest chance to approach

[ QUOTE ]
I win some I lose some I got Talin with focus on the rare occassion he stepped out from his bus stop but I see no way as to how that tactic cannot be conceived as an exploit

[/ QUOTE ]

If u were tactical enough enough one of you would shut hurricane down which is not hard.You lacked in skill and cooperation with the brute that was able to shut hurricane down.

[ QUOTE ]
In fact if anyone complains on Broadcast its usually got something to do with the misuse of tp foe.

[/ QUOTE ]

No usually is because the persin tp foe uses it so good that you cannot do much about it.

[ QUOTE ]
Building a rep from tping people into enclosed spaces and using hurricane to keep them thus using a clear terrain exploit does not constitute playing with skill.

[/ QUOTE ]

Next time learn how i made reputation and then we can discuss this. My main reputation comes from Warburg during mass open battles. Sirens is just for fun and FYI i used environment just because we were 2 and u were 5 and wanted scale odds. If i was whole team in there my tactics are far more different and i not even bother with stalkers as they rank low on my tactical list. Except specific stalkers that are skillful Obot,Hackit,Gimpman.

[ QUOTE ]
nyone can build a controller to do that all you need are a few mates to finish of the victim. It is solely Reputation farming.

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually no. My controller has a pretty unique build that i designed on my own and is not amongst the effective pvp builds around US forums. As for farming rep is not my fault that u happen to not know what to do against a stormie.

Feel free to pm for advice if u want or else contact Stalk-Obot or maybe Zephyrus that have played against my stormie and know some good tips they can give you.

The rest falls under whine category. Like i said stalker is a nice pvp AT very nice for starters and very very good weapon for skilled ones. However a really good pvper turns unskilled stalkers to dust really easy.

*points at Tailman and his minefield*

I tell you we were there cause that pb i was duoing wanted to file her nails in Sirens. I didnt even realise how we got in this.....damn nails lol....if u aint seen a pb filing nails in a pvp zone you not know what u missin

[ QUOTE ]
ow this has to be the worst form of terrain exploitation Ive seen in the game so far and the fact that it forced us to disconnect (it took 6 minutes for them 8 minutes to kill me the first time, I wasnt waiting that long a second time). Now a lot us were annoyed by this behaviour as it was clearly an exploit (i.e using terrain and powers in a way not intended in game design). Now talk about killing PvP for the night it was dreadful, you had a bunch of heroes hiding in hurricane waiting for people to be tp'd into a bus stop where we could get pummelled in safety.

[/ QUOTE ]

It took us long to kill u cause we were fighting mobs as well. Second of all i was eating as well while fighting you so dont get excited next time i wont spare u the time to see what goes on. And as for the braggin. Yeah i brag cause i am REALLY REALLY GOOD at what i do. Support the team i am in and control the enemy. A group of 3 stalkers and 2 brutes took 2min and 30 sec to kill 1 pb human form cause u have no proper acc slotting and i was kiting you with hurricane killing your acc. Talk about skill and knowledge.

As for the stalker taking real skill in pvp. I seen really good stalkers that i pay my respect fully like Stalk obot Hackit Yo momma Tylantia etc and some that are to cry for. Stalker is the easy pvp AT for any starter out there but in the hands of a skilled player it works miracles. As far as i am concerned having 3 stalkers in my back when i duo and they having issues with me cause i have hurricane...thats really not skilled and just whining.

Pie anyone?

[ QUOTE ]
Got to mention this while I'm on as its kind of relevant to the sjkill based issue we are discussing. Just had a Controller on Defiant using tp foe and hurricane to tp people into Bus stops and containers and keeping them there with hurricane. The boasts of broadcast about the controller in question being a 'great' player were insufferable.In the end a lot of us were forced to disconnect and relog to get out of it losing our bounty.

Now this has to be the worst form of terrain exploitation Ive seen in the game so far and the fact that it forced us to disconnect (it took 6 minutes for them 8 minutes to kill me the first time, I wasnt waiting that long a second time). Now a lot us were annoyed by this behaviour as it was clearly an exploit (i.e using terrain and powers in a way not intended in game design). Now talk about killing PvP for the night it was dreadful, you had a bunch of heroes hiding in hurricane waiting for people to be tp'd into a bus stop where we could get pummelled in safety.

Now Im quite concerned about practices like these as they kill PvP quite effectively and allow obviously unskilled controllers like this one exploit rep. In addition to this I'm getting increasingly worried that the misuse of tp foe will end up with it being nerfed, which is sad as its a useful power that can be used to great tactical benefit but not like that. Not just villains getting this I admit as I recall yesterday somebody tp'd Window Licker into one of the towers or something and he couldnt get out. Basically if we want it skill based a few things need to be sorted out and if people misuse the powers we are not going to get anywhere unless those powers are nerfed. As for the bus stop situation I raised a petition for that as its just clearly out of order and an exploit.

[/ QUOTE ]

That controller would be me. Anyday of the week that you wanna judge my skill bring your team i bring mine and we see how skilled i am. As for the broadcasts apparently u not pvped much as its very well known i pvp and usually do some trashtalking with most people in sirens for the fun of it and never violating any EULA rules or insulting anyone.

Regarding the tp foe. I not tp u in any tower or so. I use full environmental tactics in pvp as my stormie allows me to do so. As for skill. I am not the one that has problems dealing with 3 stalkers and 2 brutes against a duo which was my team. Me and a peacebringer who doesnt really pvp and followed me there for the fun. So once u and your 3 friends did the honours on my empath i decided to give you some challenge instead of let you get off easy by killing people that cannot defend against 3 stalkers. The fact that the 3 of you licked the floor gracefully against a duo shows more skill. I died several times and never moaned once and enjoyed it. Yet you need to moan about tactics and exploits. Now get a grip and fix your build cause tbh against a storm controller is weak. I advise you to team with a kinetics build or to try stay mobile from situations that can lock u down. Furthermore teleport as travel power is nice for pvp stalkers. For more advice feel free to pm me or any of the pvp stalkers on the server like stalk obot.

HAve a nice night and enjoy

Congratz you sneaky pigtail!!! although i am on break from CoH playing GW for a bit goodn news travel fast well done

Congrats Ecs!!! well done

If I get 2 free respecs I'd gladly Be in the Hami Aggro Team(one respec to get into hami aggro speciality and one to get to normal)

[/ QUOTE ]nothing more to say than LOL, that's the spirit that we all want from someone that is comin to an hami raid, lmao!!!!
If u want to come u don't have to specialize in anything, just change the enhancement in your holds, nothing else...
But that will require a respec FOR SURE!!

Everything inside Hamidon is classed HAMIDON, so no Gianto monster, Bosses or the such, just HAMIDON.

[/ QUOTE ]

FYI Jiaozy Hammi aggro team after ED needs to specialize. Max Heal/m and and recharge times of buffs for the defenders to be effective as well as the Tanker/scrapper himself has to pull some changes.

[ QUOTE ]
OMG LOL!
Nothing more?
Maybe even 80%, 75%, 70%, 65%, 60%, 50% 45% and 40%!!!
Anyway, ask bobthedemon as he have 2 Hami-O and he knows for sure how to work things out!

[/ QUOTE ]

hmmmmmmm HO number doesnt really speak of how much u know how to work things out.

As far as hami strats i will agree with Xanthus regarding the OP plan. You will need more phases due to the multiple mito spawn.And i agree with Jersey as well regarding controlled spawn and wingin after the 2nd spawn.

On Defiant we are working on a diffferent plan. As soon as some testing is done we will try and put it in practise and come up with some resuslts.

i would say congrats for this cause is well deserved but the biggest congrats goes for being daddy for 2nd time as of the 24th ....

[ QUOTE ]
Are you suggesting CM should be used as a buff? I only ever use it as a cure, it runs out far too quick to keep it on 7 people ..

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah it should be used as a buff. Remember that an empath that has fully switched to buffing from healing must be proactive. That means AB,fort and the rest of the buffs should be dropped before the fights. Also cm is not necessary to all team members. Only the ones with no status protection. Then again in PvP zones is a different story. But 3 slots with rchrg in PvP zone works miracles.

[ QUOTE ]
Much as I love Empaths around on a team (I do, although i prefer others in a GOOD team), I am not sure they are the most diverse set in the pack... they are all buffs and heals. Storm and Rad do Debuffs, Buffs, Heals AND odds (like knockback, attacks, and holds), and every other set does at least two functions (e.g. Sonic debuffs, protects, holds, buffs, Forcefield buffs, knockbacks, disorientates, holds)

Can you really say Empaths are most varied?

[/ QUOTE ]

Variety and diversity are different things. The sets you describe truly have variety however they are not sets with the ability to fully switch focus and change the balance within a team. The empathy set is the most diverse because it can set the stance within a team or adopt the same stance the team is following at any given moment and no other set is able to do that at the degree the empathy set does. During heavy duty missions (8 people team invi setting) teams follow different stances. I will break it down to two to explain shortly. Aggressive stance where the team moves on the simple rule of tanker goes in scrappers follow blasters blast.In this case the Empath sets him self as a designated buffer by proactively buffing the team and helping in the mopping up and preserving health status within the team if necessary. Due to the fact that that such stance is followed usually by experienced teams in heavy duty missions the Empath perform very little healing and sticks to performing proactive buffing.

The second stance is the case where the Empath will find himself in weaker teams in terms of players or AT's or even tactics. In that case the team has a more defensive stance due to the inability to properly deal with aggro. Hence the empath is required to perform heavy duty healing and life support.

It might sound similar but its not. Each of the two require a completely different playstyle from the empath as well as completely different power allocation within the team.

The empathy set doesnt have variety. It focuses purely on your 2 bars as well as your damage and status. The vital signs of the player. However the diversity is really really big compared to the other sets. And thats because the rest of the sets are not interracting with the team to the degree the empathy set does.

For the record i am not saying the empathy set is the best set out there as i really love the storm and force field sets.

i ll find you, tie you to a chair and force you to play

[/ QUOTE ]

You sir have a very VERY dirty mind....

The difference between USA and EU is that the Hamidon Raids are done in order for the community to come together and all people to have some fun and mingle as well as the new level 50's to see the end game raids. So the HO numbers dont mean much to me personally and i have given all the HO i got my hands on.

Regarding future raids i want to try and pull a non holding raid but this will be an entirely private raid since it will require a lot of effort coordination and maybe try and fail scheme. Thus in order to avoid the sometimes increased tension and also the lag within the hive sch a raid attempt would have to be more private till the results are seen.

As for the amount of raids per month one sounds good and a second one in case we have a failure.

well i thought to dust my Uni English a bit and write in my formal style lmao....now here is your dose of some Greek.

Lmao t3h H3al0rz r0Xx0rz bu7 d0n7 forg37 th4t 0the3r def3nd3r$ ar3 nic3 t00!!!!!!

As far as i am concerned Tyl is a really nice person. Lots of fun and with loads of wackiness inside. I dont really know it was male or female but was always good fun talking. So i not really want to see gone and despite what you say doesnt change the opinion i have for Tyl in the least. I am not removing you from my friends list, not ignoring you and of course nothing is changed regarding my attitude.

Don't care. If your name is orange, then you die. Unless, of course, it's orange because you're already dead. Then it'd be pretty damn stupid to try and attack you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats my stance with couple of exceptions.

For my own reasons i not attack in PvP zones:

1)RPers engaged in RPing
2)badge hunters
3) people who declare a very valid reason to not do so or they send a tell asking

Most loved: Every Single AT out there

Most Hated: I like all AT's no real issues...
