Ok, so last night a friend wanted to test his level 41 build against me. Since I had no toons at the same level I grabbed a 50 SO'd blaster and headed to the ghost town (aka warburg) to even out the levels. Just so happens that I got a pvp drop on the first kill. Checked it and even though he was level 41 the pvp recipe was level 50.
Seems there's more to this than some of you originally thought.
As stated by others, If you are exempted down and kill a lower lvl toon you will get the pvp io at your natural level, you were 50 so you got a 50. If your friend had gotten the drop the recipe would have been at his natural level of 41.
Rod is correct that while you can easily farm kills using the arena if you have a great then +3 spread on the characters you have a 0% chance for a drop (you should notice that if you are killing a -3 or great character you will not get any rewards: no influence, no prestige, no insp and therefore you do not get any chance for the RNG to roll for a drop). -
Happy 30th Chad hope you had a great birthday.

If you could be one of your heroes or villains, who would it be, and why?
I myself would be my fire blaster, Vivaria, except that I would trade out her super jump for flight. I've always thought it would be cool to manipulate fire and ice, and the energy manipulation would just be icing on the cake. And flight is about the ultimate super power.
How about you? -

I appreciate the ideas Masque and they definitely fall under the "something I would like to do" category. But I can't use the PERC bank for a PvPEC/PERC joined event, it wouldn't be fair. Will have to get someone to start a PvPEC bankroll over here, hehe.
Hmm, I am not so sure I agree with that, I would think that a pve vs pvp type of thing woulddefinitely fall under PERC's role. I believe you just need to get approval from a PvPEC rep on the server (which you are so just say Hey do I approve, why yes i do). As far as the PvP TF you would just be using the PvP zones as the missions, so again I think you just need approval from a PvPEC rep.
The issue about having someone from PvPEC start a bankroll for events is:
1) I kind of doubt that the mods and players would be as supportive of being auctioned off (again).
2)PvPEC has always been sort of the red headed step child as far as prizes, I mean compare the last two events: Mr and Mrs Vs this New Years pvp thing. PERC got 4 costume codes per server +4 more for the winner, while PvPEC is only giving out 2 per server.
So, I guess I don't see the harm in offering small prizes for these types of events because as you stated they would be something you would want to run. Heck if its an issue I will still run it and you can just offer up the prizes.
If you still feel these events are do not fall under PERC, I would suggest maybe some: TF race events but do a TF that people don't speed or run typically (so in other words, No ITF, LGTF, Hess, Etc).
I was talking to Blitz and he had this idea about using AE to showcase players creativity by making a two (maybe 3) mission story arc that would explore the idea of your character going rogue. I could see that being a good idea.
How about changing the PvP TF idea to make it purely PvE. It would be part scavenger hunt, part how well do you know paragon city/rogue islands.
This would be stealing an idea from RIBO, but what about a "Whats My Line" type of event. To showcase victory's ability to ad lib, you guys give a line and the player who comes up with the best punchline to the statement would get a point, top point score wins.
Screen shot contest. Take a picture of your character in CoX then make a RL costume and take a picture of yourself as the character in a scene that replicates the screen shot. (Yeah, I know its been done, but honestly, I'd love to see some of the Victory Regulars dressed up as themselves). "Hey why is that guy dressed up like a cat putting dynamite in that building and running around saying 'ambush, meow' and 'mezzed'".
Different Screen shot contest. You post a unique screen shot, and we have to come up with a caption for it.
How about a non-prize event. Do that lame high school thing of voting people the "most popular", "Most likely to be involved with a nemisis plot", "Most likely to have a CoX tatoo", "Mostly likely to look like teddy ruxpin" etc. Hey at least people could have fun with sigs again.
Thats all I got for now. -
Ill/Rad or Cold/Sonic.

Happy Birthday Badge-Bot. Hope you have a great birthday and the next year goes well for you.

You could always just do my PvPEC vs PERC idea. 3 events: A pvp arena event (PvP), a Quiz type of event (PvE), and a tf/sf race (most likely a ITF or LGTF).
You can form teams with 7 spots (the 1st spot would be either from PvPEC or PERC and that would designate the team as PvP or PvE). I have no idea how many reps there are now on Victory. Scooter (PERC), Peril (PvPEC), Zamuel (PvPEC), Capt. (PvPEC), FMP (Both). I would force the TFs to be run with "master settings" so no outside temps could come into play and so you can monitor the number of deaths. Maybe add 20 secs per death to the TF time as an additional challenge.
DC had volunteered to be the host of the quiz show and would be a good choice to run that portion. You would need to contact him to see if he would still be willing/interested in doing so.
This is an event that I had hoped to run, I think it would be alot of fun.
Another idea that I was planning with a few of the Victory regulars was a "Victory PvP TF" we spoke about this at length as well FMP. You would need to develop a story line (or use the ones I had outlined before) that would involve a leader (someone from PvPEC or PERC) forming a team to run this TF they would get clues and the mission objectives from contacts (Reps acting as NPC contacts) "Go to Warburg and escort the lost scientist to the hero base". Then have Scooter dressed as a scientist standing under the globe, the TF team has x time to move scooter to the Hero base, while other reps act as the oppossing force and attempt to kill the escort team (clearly they can't kill scooter or he could just hospital). If they succed they get a good clue to where their next mission is, if they fail the get a poorly worded clue. "Meet the double agent at the Talos Ruby Arena Kiosks" vs "XXXXX said they would meet you at the fight club in Talos".
The team that runs the PvP tf the fastest wins. So the better you complete the missions the better your clues are to where your next mission is.
I'm sure Legion of Valor would be happy to assist you in setting up and/or running these events. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help. -

If he's using the Arena that wouldn't be a concern.
Last I knew, arena kills did not give rep. Base Raids used too, but they have gone the way of the dodo.
I think for the most part the pvpers who are still on Victory don't grief rep farms. There are some idiots out there who WILL log onto their stalker and giggle like a school girl as they try to steal kills from those who are rep farming, but honestly, I do not consider them to be part of the pvp community.
Infact, I would be willing to bet that some of the pvpers on victory who have 400 rep would be more then willing to load in and let you guys have a round or two of killing us to give you a quick 6 points of rep.
It maybe just my experiece, but 99% of my interactions with true pvpers have been tremendously positive be it asking for build advice or seeking information on powers. I just think that its that 1% of pvpers who are very vocal and enjoy acting like a fool that give pvp and pvpers a bad name. -

Quote:#1) For speed Synapse runsOriginally Posted by EnigmaBlack
I'm using DM as my primary. If every bad guy had energy attacks there wouldn't be a problem, but since most don't and it's a pain (if at all possible) to use bonuses to cap the other resistances that whole set = suck IMO. Everytime I log him in I shake my head and ask myself:
#1 Why did I roll him?
#2 What were they drinking when they threw that set together?
#2) It was really designed for brutes (who use tanker resistance caps), its the same reason that fire tanks can be decent but fire scrappers are very squishy. -
Just to toss my 2 cents in. I have 2 cold defenders (cold/sonic and cold/ice) 2 cold corrs (rad/cold and ice/cold) and 1 cold 'troller (ill/cold). All of them play amazingly well solo or teamed.
Cold defenders are one of the 3 defender sets (the other two being FF and dark) that can be soft capped fairly easily with almost any secondary (I am talking about positional defense in this case, I have only struggled with getting melee to 45% but typically it is over 35% which is very noticeable, and if you really are worried you can pick up oppressive gloom from the dark epic pool and that helps to mitigate some melee attacks as well.
If you are only picking between the two psy vs archery I am going to buck the trend and say go archery. The reason I would say this is Rain of Arrows is a great power and it does not cause an end crash so you would be able to keep your toggles up (thereby staying softcapped).
I also kind of think sleet + rain of arrows sounds like it could be great. I think a great attack chain could be Sleet+Heat Loss+RoA+Fist full of arrows. Then blazing arrow anything still standing.
If you are willing to look at other secondaries /dark would be a good choice for the self heal. -

Not sure if either of those are right, but Happy Birthday to the best pvp blaster on Victory. -
What level are we suppose be at? I think I have some catching up to do.

But Serenity Cow is in Barnyard Heroes

I see your point about SG/VGs. Unless the give the ability to port over a whole base I guess we would lose all that prestige
Maybe they could let the "SuperLeader" move the base with them, and offer up a free rename of the SG if that name is already taken? Wow that would would raise some outcry too.
One big issue that I think could pop up is if you are being force-merged to another server that you already have many characters on. I guess they would have to like say: "Victory is closing, all victory players will be given a free transfer to one of the following servers: "drunk server", "catgurl server", "OMG I can't believe its not Butter server". -
Happy Birthday Sheik!
You used to bug the hell out of me, then I stopped trying to udnerstand what you were talking about. Since then we have gotten long wonderfully.
I can't believe you have more vet badges then me and I have socks older then you.
