lol. you guys are too popular.
-
Anytime you transfer a character and the name is taken you are given a # at the end of your name (in this case a 1) you also are given a free rename.
So .... no dont buy a rename just change it with the free one. -
Quote:All the current pvp seems to be on Freedom. They just started their current round over this past weekend. @masque also holds boot camps every couple months. Myself and @ Mah thru CAPE hosted a "basic training" pvp league for 6 weeks then we followed it up with a league that also last 6 weeks.
While i suck at pvp id be happy to assist where and however.
keep in mind pvp=drama.
Ditto. Hit me up in game, I'd be glad to help as well.
As far as a ladder Im currently running one on Victory. Its a 1v1 duel ladder using an elo scoring system and challenges. It seems to be working ok we've only had to make a few minor rule changes. -
New ELOs so far:
Edited: all these ELO scores were wrong- the wrong K value was used. Please see updated scores in my following post.
Saga and Rice Match up tonight!
I will be adjusting the scores after this week:
Everyone will recieve 1 pt for each duel they fought on their current character. -

Regen as a set is very misnamed (is that a word... well it is now) WP is what regen should have been.
Regen to me should be thought of a "HEAL". You have reconstruct a fairly nice heal. Dull pain. in this case, used as a heal rather than a +HP.
Most regens build for +recharge, while WP build for max hp and "regen". Thats why they both may end up with spiritual alpha but for totally different reasons.
I highly doubt that a regen brute could be the sole aggro sponge for a keyes but I think as far as dragging Antimatter around and being the taunt bot it is very possible.
It would however not be my 1st choice... elec is nice, shield is nice I haven't looked at energy aura but I would assume it would be great for this as well.
I know elec armor gets a bad rap. I've been messing with my KM/elec scrapper now for a while and pretty much I'm of the opinion that you need to play it differently for each type of trial. For keyes I run rebirth destiny. For apex I switch to barrier. For Lam I run rebirth and carry purples. Baf barrier and carry reds.
I used to hate resist based mitigation but now I'm starting to like them a little more, you can layer on a good bit of defense just using IOs (6% from 2 IOs, 3% each from things like stealth, cj, hover, leadership, fighting pool usually gives you about 4ish%) so while you may not reach soft cap, you can reach a noticable amount of defense with just IOs and then top it off with a few purples or the 5% tail from barrier.
Hippy I have some time I will try to throw together a shield/StJ for you. -
I'd think about making something with psi protection or at least positional Def that you can softcap- but again- its pretty easy to soft cap things now with 2x +3% def IOs and at least 5% perma from Barrier.
I think a regen brute might be pretty good for keyes to be honest- MoG, 2 heals and a +regen. Regen lacks a taunt aura like NRG/shieldfire/dark/invuln/wp(to a lesser extent) so you will have to spam your taunt power...but it would be interesting. -
As far as hippy's original post...
If you are considering making a new character I would honestly avoid an invuln tank for the new high level content.
As mp stated invuln is a typed def set. It also has a psi hole which is pretty common in high level content. Shield maybe a better way to go.
Id also say perhaps the best 'tank' for a keyes maybe a scrapper or a brute. Auto hit powers are auto hit. Damage that is a percent of your total hp means its just that much harder to have a 'healer' refill your green bar. Stacked destinys means anyone can be a soft and hard cap. -

Quote:For fairness sake, I think I got more points than I should have gotten. I had 1610 and Pyro had 1600, I don't think beating him should have gotten me 10, should it? That seems like too much. But if not, okay then!
I guess I challenge Masque. I'll lose hardcore, but should be fun.
I'm using http://www.lutanho.net/pgn/calc_elo.html to do the calculations.
With a rating of 1610 and pyro's rating of 1600 and a k-vaule of 20. Your win expected score was 0.514 (you should have won 51.4% of the matches).
Your new score would be 1619.712 which I rounded to 1620.
There has been some questions about challenges and who can fight and who can challenge and such. After talking to a few people I think the following rule clarifications and rule changes should be put into place.
1)Starting on Sunday till Wednesday Anyone can challenge UP (anyone higher ranking than they are).
2) After Wednesday If you haven't been challenged you can challenge DOWN.
3) You must always fight the highest challenge (it doesn't matter if its your challenge or a challenge to you).
4) If you are challenged by Wednesday you must accept it (ie... prior to people challenging down).
5) If you are unchallenged by Wednesday and want to challenge down, you MUST wait till Friday to do your matches- just in case someone higher than you wishes to challenge DOWN to you. (See rule 3).
A good example is this week:
Pixel challenged MP. MP challenges Masque. The highest ranking duel would be between MP and Masque, therefore those two would fight. Pixel is free to challenge someone else. -
Week 2 is over- ELO scores updated.
Reminder- you can only challenge up till wednesday, after wednesday if you haven't been challenged you can challenge down.
You must accept the highest ranked challenge. If you are challenged by 2 more players with the same ELO, you can choose who you fight. -
Quote:A wooden shoe.My super secret source told me I can still challenge: Nugget, chan, hemm, inquitos,xury and shade.
So anyone of those can contact me if interested!(or anyone else that's able!) If I don't hear anything and noone else challenges one of them I'll put the names in a shoe and randomly pick one tomorrow!
And ya Loppy will be on the list sooner or later! -
Quote:Ajax 8 My Jellybeans withdraws from the ladder.
As fun as duelling with an ice/rad controller was, it isn't issue 8 anymore...but...
A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS!
Spirit of Kings Row, Katana/Regen Scrapper will issue a challenge to @Ghetto Bug.
I withdraw my previous challenge to @Pomade, who may be afk from the game atm.
IT'S ON!
Kara just got srs! -
Bug fought Masque in a long and challenging duel.
Much blood was spilt, babies were crying and women were passing out in droves.
In the end as with all PvP- no one wins, everyone loses.
But Masque gets the points. -
Rules updated- will start in week 3-
Quote:If a player recieves multiple challenges they must accept the highest ranking challenge.
Also a reminder-
Challenge fights are to be held on Friday @ 9pm est. Unless BOTH players agree to a different time.
If you don't show up for the match it counts as a loss for you and a win for the person who showed up. -
So far new ELOs:
Smallz 1630
Loopy 1622
Masque 1621
Bug 1618
MP 1610
Ra Ra 1609
Nugget 1600
Pomade 1600
Chan 1600
Kara 1600
Hemm 1600
Inquitos 1600
Saga and Pixel still to fight
Xury and Shade still to fight -
Challenges Issued:
Pomade Challenged Masque- Completed
Chan Challenged Bug- Completed
Hemm Challenged Smallz- Completed
Loopy Challenged Saga
Saga Challenged Pixel
Rice Challenged Smallz
Shade Challenged Xury
MP challenged Kara
Since loopy has challenged Saga and Smallz has already fought this week-
Rice will not be able to duel smallz and Saga will not be able to duel Pixel.
Therefore, Pixel and Rice are unchallenged at this moment they can challenge each other or wait to see if they get a challenge from someone off the ladder. -
