Wait.What?And why is that?

Before i explode:


[ QUOTE ]
bla bla bla PvP+badges bla bla bla bla HO's as rewards

[/ QUOTE ]

No and huge no.There are already badges for PvP and they suck.Hard.Getting on a leaderboard for a day through kills and getting a recipe?Exploitable to hell and all of us with two accounts will be farming it to death.

HO's are not a decent reward.They cost 10-15 million which is dirty cheap and easy to acquire through TF's.

Badges do not reflect skill in PvP unless tied to a proper point system which needs to be adapted for healers and DPS separately.

For example removing the reputation cap and allowing healers to draw reputation based on actual team heals from a different pool than DPS.

Based on the current rep system only skilled and determined PvPers would move up the ladder and not farming badgers that just want the badge.

[ QUOTE ]
That's the way PvP was designed in ALL MMOs, it could be exploited, but I don't see it happening it much these days. It's a unstoppabole flaw in PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]

Its not possible to grind right now to 400 through farming.You really need to PvP due to the reputation system which rewards PvPers and not farmers.You need to kill people and actual fighters cause the same person not cut it unless you wanna wait the timer perma to rekill someone and gain 0.01 rep.

Viable PvP rewards system:

Remove reputation cap

Separate Healing pool and DPS pool.

Create PvP levels and pvp exp

Create a reward system through PvP xp be it a selection of recepies for every level (although not my choice) or a trully good pvp system with separate PvP powers unlocked through pvp xp and lock out through loss of xp making loss painful.

Leaderboard creation should exist but based on reputation.

If badges still need exist fine.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, whatever system that would theoretically support betting on the outcome of a PvP fight would not get rid of the fact that some people would fix or swing fights to swindle large amounts of Influence in return for a back-handed secret payment.

What? - If it happens in RL it sure is going to happen in an MMO if the system allows it!.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am sure it would happen but i doubt betting would be used on random fights by many people.99% of the time large bets would be either between highly ranked fighters or during tournaments.Combined with a ranking system i proposed a loss would mean loss of rank or loss of PvP xp locking out PvP powers.So the loser does have something to lose.

Hell this could open up other side events like Friday Night fights with toons that use only Fight pool and brawl or only between MA scrappers and so on.Even the boxing cossie Vet reward would mean something for those events

pack 20 bfs does not mean pop 20 bfs

noob time eh tg

[/ QUOTE ]

More like noob posting.Next time explain what you want to say rather than leaving it to other people imagination.

[ QUOTE ]
wasnt talking bout popping 20 at once tats just dum pre pop 1-3 game overfor domi

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
ummm just pack 20 BFs its the only way tbh

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
Are blaze and BIB about the same activation? Fire's a primary I've not really played but BIB seems way ahead of the other sets for DPA that I have tried

[/ QUOTE ]

Blaze is slightly faster afk.1sec vs 1.07

[ QUOTE ]
In maths according to Phil's figures Ice would cause the largest 'spike' in a Dmg/time graph

[/ QUOTE ]

In actual game fire is the highest spike even without calculating the DoT because everyone and his dog have smashing/lethal resistance in PvP.And cold has smashing damage element in its attack chain

[ QUOTE ]
You would never see it done or be shown it by me. This is not just in order to not benefit people like you from my experience

[/ QUOTE ]

I just wanted to see exactly this RoTP tanking insanity.

<text removed>

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Oh and Shannon.. dieing, then using RotP is a valid tanking tactic for a fire tank? That has to rate as one of THE most ridiculous suggestions I've ever heard.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can a Firetank, tank Lord Recluse unaided.

Yes/No?

I say yes myself.

From what I know. D'ya think thats ridiculous?

[/ QUOTE ]

I would love to see you do it.Fraps and youtube upload it please.This reminds me of that awsome super secret scrapper taunt technique

Alvan mate i wouldnt worry too much.Your guide is spot on and helpful.

This is a definite guide to all new people trying to get into Empath secrets.

[ QUOTE ]
bfs are still needed though TG

[/ QUOTE ]

There is a difference between burning 20bf's and poping 1 or 2 and the degree of difficulty involved to kill a dominator with a blaster.

Bf's respites reds blues cabs and w/e are all needed in pvp based on what someone is playing and part of pvp tactics.

Also i hope we aint debating no insp fights between newbies under RV globe.Cause thats a)lame b)not PvP


EDIT:I would love to hear how you justify 20bf's with a blaster against a dominator in RV to kill the domi.I am still laughing with this.

[ QUOTE ]
So approximately 3 months after the "competition" arrives, expect a MASSIVE Issue release including new engine based on Crysis or something

[/ QUOTE ]

I am not holding my breath much for such a thing to be honest.All i am hearing is "you ll be excited with what we got in store for you"

I am waiting i13 to get excited and see whats in store and this whole IP "new turn in game" bubble is gonna burst or not.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not against a move it's just that ALL my characters are on Defiant... and I bet all the RP'rs have got all the good names on Union! :P

That being said, I might try and make a character now I guess, can't really find any teams for my stalker!

[/ QUOTE ]

you could try the check name availability option at character selection screen.Will help you with names a lot.If you need a VG on union drop a shout

I dunno about Defiant but i can definitely recommend you on union EVIL as the most active villains SG around all servers and Dirty handprints if you bother to transfer.Good chaps and awsome fun.

Plus if you are into world pvp Union is ----> that way no matter what golden troll claims

[ QUOTE ]
Greek! Thought you had moved on to greener pastures? TR/WoW?

P.S. What is this I have heard about Union?!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well i split sometime between CoH and EvE lately and some betas

I play on Union now so if you happen to move give a shout could catch me on msn as well if you still have me

[ QUOTE ]
only if u get them before they get u an or perma dom

if they get perma dom the'll ust hold to death

the only true way to beat them is 20 bfs

[/ QUOTE ]

I cried laughing with this. Seriously.First of all any self respecting dominator will already raise domination prior to engaging any player in RV thanks to the stupid PvE design of PvP zones.

Second of all no self respecting blaster will engage a control set unsupported without having a BF prepopped.By the time dominator overruns the breakfree he is dead 10 times and all it takes is a double spike.

I dont need 20 bf's to 2 shot you.

Also we are talking in proper PvP and not noob duels under the globe.

20 bf's..whats next?poping 30 reds to kill an empath?

[ QUOTE ]
So what everyone is saying in a nutshell is that no matter what build i do if they have pera Dom im dead unless i eat Break Free's like sweets

[/ QUOTE ]

No.With an */nrg blaster you can toast the dominator without breaking a sweat.And dont believe this rubbish about breakfrees.

Whats next BM.Making a thread about allowing images in our signatures?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
you would make no money that way... only the money from the loosing betters would come to you, so the total net gain would be 0 under TG's set up, if no one bet on the loss there woudl be no money to win... there is no bookie offering odds.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, they split half betting on me, half on my opponent

[/ QUOTE ]

You are dumb as a carrot obviously or you are trolling

I say 50/50.

[ QUOTE ]
Argument ended up that DoT isnt counted for spike

[/ QUOTE ]

Its debatable really.Even without DoT fire is higher spike imho due to the non lethal damage and the less chance to resist it.

About DoT.It counts in the spike as long as a)target's regen doesnt overcome DoT dps b) target cannot negate DoT.

With or without DoT tho Fire ftmfew

[ QUOTE ]
For a betting system to work, in my opinion, it needs an impartial tote willing to cover all bets. However a system like that is liable to match fixing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah i agree with you thats why i said inf circulated is from players only.To be honest a beting system would work only after pvp was revamped and there was a point to actually pvping.Attracting more casual arena matches would attract beting as well. Also linking all arenas (EU+US) would help too.


Also would like to add to my list of things i would do:

An extra layer of difficulty called: Insanity

No aggro caps,no aoe caps however mobs are definitely all purple and +4's +5's and use combinations of all GM's and mobs in game in one group of mobs which consists of at least 20+ mobs.

This level of difficulty would be selectable only after level 45.

Enhanced rewards for completing missions at this level.

Ice/ does have the highest ST damaage.

[/ QUOTE ]

It does?Afaik Blaze was the highest ST pvp blasters use no?188 dmg or something unenhanced?Although i think i am calculating the DoT in it too.

Join us. I'm thinking perhaps Tenderheart Bear?

I could set up a match, bet a million Inf, invite a level 1 to fight, and share the winnings - it'd be over in a few secoinds, then we'd just do it again and again - they'd have to cap the amount you could bet, but it'd probably have to be so low to avoid bet exploiting that it'd be too low to interest anyone.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are still failing to read what i said and just talking nonsense.

So once again just for special you:

a) The two players fighting cannot bet and dont receive any kind of influence from the bets.

b)The only influence circulated from beting is only from players.

c)Arena has weight classes.Middlewight,Heavyweight etc.Only classed and ranked matches can have beting which was the original design.So you cant have level 1 vs level 50 like you insist uppon for some weird reason.

10 players bet on player A and B fighting the players that bet on winner share the total amount that placed as bet.

[ QUOTE ]
Old thread but I was just looking for server status page as well. Gen we get one back in EU?

I remember in old days there used to be Server Status shown on EU Website, wasn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]

CoH has some pretty nice widgets you can use to display server status all the time on you desktop.

Have a look here

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

Besides there are faster ways to make inf rather than lose a PvP match on purpose.

[/ QUOTE ]

Level 1 vs level 50, no level limits? Sounds pretty fast to me
You could get a whole SG doing a rotation system of thrown matches and massive bets

[/ QUOTE ]

An SG doing rotations for what?To transfer inf between them?

Also have you ever used the arena?Go have a look.

I am wasting typing here because you are having another "blonde" moment or you just not bother read as usual.

Arena system was intended originally to include Influence and XP betting.
