Quote:***Tips for zone farming***Originally Posted by B_Witched
if you go in knowing you're going to die and get ganked once in a while - it's fun. I have taken my pve farming dom into rv - when there are 20 heroes camping the villian base and the only villian they can see is me (with 4 stalkers on team) - i know I am going to die but if I can hold one long enough for the stalkers to as - so much the better. teaming is more important than build - and like I said having fun. If you get mad about dying then it's either not going to be fun or you need a build that does not die much.
there will always be people who talk in bc about how they are pro and you suck (who oddly enough will not 1v1 with travel powers on..lol) but If you are not affected by what someone you never met says about you in a video game you will be just fine
You will be farmed.
You will be ganked.
Learn to team.
Trash talk is inevitable. We trash talk to get you mad. You get mad you don't think straight and will probably do something stupid which leads to you getting farmed.
If trash talk gets to you, turn off enemy broadcast.
If someone challenges you to a duel in RV, don't accept and continue farming them on a team. It will make them rage hard. The pvpers left in this game suffer from fiteclub mentality use that against them.
***Tips for cooperative PvP AKA Arena***
Join the freedom league draft. It's the quickest way to learn how to pvp. Accept that there are people that are better than you and you'll be fine.

Quote:The lack of player signups has little to do with community outreach...Originally Posted by CriticalKat
I imagine that just broadcasting in Freedom, Virtue and maybe Victory RV with a link to the thread would make a significant difference. Only a small percentage of the players actually read the forums and an even smaller percentage actually have the arena channel on an active chat tab. Maybe we could do that the next couple of days and see what the turnout brings before postponing the draft. Vex has a valid point, people may lose interest if we postpone it.
Be smart.
As proof I'll spam Freedom/Virtue RV broadcast and a few Freedom/Virtue channels with a link to this thread.
I probably have better community relations than you do because I don't get farmed by an emp on my Stalker... -

Quote:As long as the point of starting a freedom league is attempting to get enough interest to form a new test league...Originally Posted by SmokeSignal
Except that a league on Test cuts out the more casual crowd that isn't interested going off the live servers, downloading test, copying characters over, etc. I don't have a problem with it. I miss playing on Test all the time. But the fact is, we get more people participating on the average when it's on Live with a draft. The Champion league got scarce after the halfway point, but that's why Dex is suggesting a league half as long. I think it's a great idea and surely worth a try.
Instead of ******** constantly about this being a joke and that being a joke, why don't you either sign up and play or sit down and shut up? We've had some very entertaining 6v6-8v8 fights over the last couple of months.
I'd say to do a couple more Live leagues to pull in those that are very new or just starting out, then do a Test league. After that you could alternate between Test and Live easy enough to pull in more people on a constant basis.
Wish you the best of luck on the freedom league then. -
Quote:New people? What SH* are you smoking? Cause I want some....Originally Posted by Daknah
The real issue is that new people will not download test. People will not watch the matches like they will on freedom which will create new pvpers. In hopes of giving one last breath to a dying pvp it is best to have it on freedom and just deal with the issues we have with that instead of the issues of less pvpers. Yes I know the argument that we can have more people from other servers but it just does not work out. Lets focus on getting this going and if we end the league with 6 full teams maybe the next one we go to test.
We are Hemmoraging players because the devs cut their community organizers.
You aren't going to lead by example by having a league on freedom. Especially when most gamers have no interest in competitive pvp.
The builds required to be competitive in PvP are ridiculously expensive for most players. I'm a PvEr and RPer that has the "capability" of making competitive pvp builds because I am capable of making the billions needed to make them. I am the exception.
It isn't reasonable to expect people who would like to participate in competitive pvp to shell out the billions it takes to make a competitive build. -
Quote:The point being made was that there really isn't anything to lose. You might actually gain league members if there were a test league as it is accessable to everyone.Originally Posted by SmokeSignal
It was fun enough. Didn't you have fun on your team?
I'm starting to feel the crux of the argument against trying another test league isn't so much inconvenience on the part of coordinators but the fear that less seasoned veterans would be able to compete on equal footing as far as builds are concerned.
As it stands the league is a joke and will continue to be a joke except amongst the the kids participating in the circle jerk.
If the league is on test it becomes open to everyone, hardcore and casual pvper alike. -
Quote:Try again? What's the worst that can happen? The league begins to deteriorate?Originally Posted by Reiraku
History has shown that to not work out so well. Quite a few events have been shut down due to test server down time, even with full awareness of the red names in charge (more than once, an event even had a stickied thread by a community mod for over a month and the server was brought down without warning). It didn't matter if it was run by the PvPEC, Test Ladder, etc.
How's that champion league going for ya..... -

Quote:I've spoken to the Devs VIA e-mail (Avatea, Posi and Ghost Falcon all responded.) They've already stated they would be more than willing to work with the reps of the community event as far as scheduling PvP events on test server around down times.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Because Test is an undependable environment.
It can go for weeks or months at a time as if it were an open, playable public shard. Then a beta or a preview comes along. The server gets locked or wiped and all the plans for that time period get a flush and swirly with exactly zero recourse. Sometimes without even an announcement.
Seems to me the PvP reps just need to establish a line of communication. -
Quote:Obviously that six month hiatus didn't help you any. My advice is to take another 6 month break and if that doesn't help... take another 6 months...Originally Posted by Nytroh
Hey guys and gals,
So here is my quick story of why I posted this thread. I took just about a 6th month break right at about the time when the widow was the FotM. Coming back from my break I find my ice/ss tank getting hit pretty hard in pvp.
So here is my question, what is a good build for me to run at this point in time(better phrased, what are some more dominate/fun builds to play in this current issue), I'm not just talking about zone pvp, arena also.
Please any advice would be awesome, and btw influence is not an issue I have the money to make a good slotted build I just have no idea what build to roll.
Thanks for your time everyone. -
Quote:Once again I am bad. I am also smart enough not to "step up to the plate."Originally Posted by Dahjee
Fixed that first part for you...
Tokyo, we both know that freedom is where bad players go to farm.
I only know of Term Lad, and that toon is on freedom so meh to your attempt.
With your humor and wit, I'm thinking you ought to step up to the plate and and continue where Mac left off... the good fight continues and if anyone will be the one to get more checkboxes added to the arena so it can feel guud again... you're the one for the job.
With that said, the fact that you just made the statement of "fighting the good fight" means you support tribs efforts to mend what is left of PvP and those who followed in tribs footsteps. You are disagreeing simply to disagree.
stop trolling this thread. Can we get a mod in here to get rid of Dahjees unproductive and misinformed postings please?
However disappointed I am that a Test league won't be happening in the near future, wish you all the best of luck with the Freedom league. -
Quote:The only reason we run KB without TS is that it isn't fun; it isn't fun being suppressed when spiking, it isn't fun being suppressed when being attacked and it sure as well isn't fun when you're trying to buff your teammates and being suppressed in the process.Originally Posted by B_Witched
post i13 is broken - period. Others have said it before - I will say it again - if such a success and not breaking whole ats and power sets - why is it we do not have HD/TS/DR in pve? Simple because pver's would lose de f.n. minds if they had to deal with it. The basic principle of Castle screwing pvp was to make it easier for pvers to pvp....Yeah that worked. Most of the people who pvp'ed left, none of these new pvers filled the void...and here is you "if I can get 8 /ice blasters to shiver you...oh boy look out.."
Ever go to RV? I only go in if I can team with people i know. 90% of the people in there think spike was a character on buffy the vampire slayer and fort is a cool place you make out of sheets. Most of the time it is people crying about KM and can't wait for it to get nerfed, or stalkers and sharks or just constant base camping.
The only viable pvp is going on in arenas (champ league, freedom league etc) you know why? No heal decay, no Travel supression...hmm...
We don't run HD because HD isn't fun and it isn't fair to the buffers, ESPECIALLY when keeping oneself alive against a full spike team.
DR and Mez rules are the biggest problem in PvP posti13 because they affect Mez, debuffers and buffers in a horribly debilitating way.
DR needs to be reworked. I wish we went without DR in matches but shield stats would be insanely ridiculous without it and it would make buffers even more useless.
Dahjee, I am the worst PvPer in Virtue and most likely the entire game. With that said I farm you constantly in Virtue RV. That's telling you something about your credibility.
Stop talking, listen and try to learn something. -
I'm interested to see how this goes down...
I'll definitely be watching this. -
Quote:So, why are you angry with Mac?Originally Posted by Vexington
How's it not? Coming in late and *actually* being irrelevant is pretty funny. >.>
Obviously, any argument would be baseless.
There were plenty with actual input based on experience at the appropriate time. They were ignored. Anything after that was even more meaningless and futile. -
Quote:If you want to be sensitive about it, it was trib' that took up the torch for opening up a channel with the devs.Originally Posted by Vexington
You weren't involved in organized PvP pre-i13 so that's rather odd.
I like how Con and Mac are attributed as the white-knight martyrs here. I laughed, then cried.
By the way, this thread is retarded. Stfu
He found out early it was pointless. Mac and Con simply took up the same pointless persuit.
If it's any consolation they aren't white Knights, they were just tilting at wind-mills.
(And I'm sorry Mac, but it's true.) -
Quote:They better start factoring in IO and Alpha slot bonuses for end game content. Otherwise it's just more 1-50 content which is lame.Originally Posted by Steel_Shaman
The Devs have stated that IO's are and always will be optional. Unless they amend that statement with regards to the Incarnate system, I doubt very seriously you'll ever see NPC's that assume heavy IO slotting.

Funny thing is the devs probably felt those guys weren't listening too... despite insightful and informative recommedations for improvement.
