I'm interested but...all I know is how to Emp and don't know if that is even good anymore. Also I have a slowish PC heh. I'll drop by Test next week and see how things are going. I can't make any guarantees because I'm kinda eehhh with all the PvP changes.

Very noble of you to offer.

We are looking for more PvPers period. Practice is on Tuesday and Thursday nights 8pm CST. We dont care what you bring you come and you will play.

It's an interesting idea, for sure.

I have been playing this game since launch, and have been PvPing since the arena hit test starting with my Perma Elude Ma scrapper. I have seen so many toons go to trash because they change stuff. I just reuped both of my accounts for another year because I still love the game. We need to come together and have fun. Spec please post Renegade vent info so we can all get together.

PS
I havent felt like a champion since we beat GMW for the 4th or 5th time.

Oh, I'm not suggesting it's a bad idea at all. I like the idea and I think it will help preserve what's left of the high-end community. I'm commenting more on the sad state of organized PvP that we even have to bring this up in the first place.

I love the game too, and the people I play with are one of the biggest reasons I'm still here. What I don't like is getting fed up with the way things have been handled by the developers and community team lately.

Understood

Spec is prolly reading this thread and thinking, "maX quit trying to help and DRINK MORE PLEASE."

Also imagine all the farming we can do, if we work together. I know some of you play on other servers but we can make Freedom the offical PvP server together. As to answer the question above if no one fights the championship belt will get rusty. We are here to PVP lets do it!!!!!!!!

At least there will be PVP. I am proud of Spec for stepping up like this. He is a true leader in this game. I made a big speach last night at practice and maybe we can have some fun if we all come together. After all isnt this all about quality matches? I pick Imfamous, Ghost, and Ownage first..........

I would say "no more than two of any AT."

[/ QUOTE ]
I see you are seeing my point. No repeating AT puts no rules or limitations. Kills will be hard to get but ehhh.......... We are all here for the challenge or we would be PVEing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good idea.. Lets all PVE instead! amirite?

[/ QUOTE ]

lol no

So weve been here for a little bit in limbo with pretty much nothing going on. I know people had agreed on waiting a few before voting for which settings they want, but i think its time to move on. After practicing with dr on and heal decay off last week against renegades, its probably the closest thing ive felt to fun in a while in arena matches. With that said the recent bugs and crashes have made it almost a lost cause since it takes 2 hours for just 3 matches.

So i thinks time for all the leaders to vote on what they want.

As for me, Easy Breezy Votes Dr on, Heal decay off

[/ QUOTE ]

After testing this those setting will all lead to 1 team IMO and I don't want to play that. I wont even keep it a secret. 5 stalker impales and say gg and run. Hide for the rest of the match. My vote is for the settings listed above with no repeating AT. Some of my own SG don't agree with me on this but that team will win matches and it sucks. All of us are here because we like to play. Please trust me when and really test the impale and times it buy 5. Its you decision. I once got laughed at because I said there is no room in I13 for blasters on the ladder if you want to win (no offence to EB) please listen to me.Impale from hide is 400+ damage to a squishes times 5................................................. ........Claws does more damage with a ranged attack but I went with spines for the procs.

[/ QUOTE ]

If your willing to run a bugged team to win, go right ahead, i don't see why anyone would do that just so they win a official with 4 teams on the ladder, this is just for fun and keeping us busy, your making it sound like if there's 10 teams on the ladder, making it no repeating archetypes will not be as fun as a regular blaster teams, im sorry

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah thats what I thought until RPVP brought 5 stalkers and didn't come out of hide once, in the tournament.

[/ QUOTE ]

good ole RPVP, there's not much to say about that, im leaving it as it is. if it comes down to people running 5 stalker teams f it, i wont be here when that happens

[/ QUOTE ]

Under the rules above its the best team to run. I have always thought you are a great player even back on Liberty... Stalker teams are not a part of the rules and will be used. List no 5 STALKER TEAM in the rules or it will be done. No repeating AT opens the game and will be fun IMO. Imagine all the thinking all the power leveling getting a blaster,stalker, dom spike.... And how to counter it.. Also If we cant bring stalkers 5 blasters will work to.

on the subject... if DR is on, more ATs can be competitive in 8v8 matches because it brings ATs such as blaster down to a relatively similar level of performance. However, this is at the expense of downsizing certain ATs.

On the other hand with DR on we'll see alot more homogenized team make up like before (this maybe a good thing for many as they've already invested in a FoTM). I believe DR gives the ladder an oppurtunity to bring in more ATs and therefore more strategies in Team PvP.

I vote for DR being on, heal suppression off, and TS off (to represent skilled healers and more strategy variety)

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you read my post and test it yourself? Thats all I ask.

I think impale got stealth nerfed recently (after the official nerf).

I don't remember it being as weak as it is currently. Me and a friend were in sirens, spiking people. Two impales from hide with BU are taking off like 50% of a squishie's HP. This is without buffs on the target, and in sirens, where impale has always done more damage than in RV.

Not sure how to explain it. I told jimmay about it, and he said he'd ask someone in Renegades, but I guess he didn't.

This was tested on Tuesday night on test.

GG guys both teams

Its on test now

A vote should come but work has to be done to line ups and toons. With a upcoming match it could be won or lost on this rule. We really need to think about this before we vote......It is game changing.

I was just asking if it is fixed now. I want to play missions me and my friends make. WITHOUT GETTING BANNED.

I just want to be sure before I log in so I dont break any more rules...

Devs,
Am I free to fight any mobs I wish to in MA once my ban is lifted?

As stated previously, this action was taken because we were able to identify activity on your account - specifically, grossly excessive XP gain through our Mission Architect System. It is our opinion that there is no way that you could have gained this amount of XP without exploiting the game.

When Mission Architect released, we stated publicly in patch notes the following:

NCsoft reserves the right to ban any missions that contain any exploits that provide unintended statistical advantages. Players and/or "authors" that advertise exploitable missions through our forums, in-game chat system or through the Mission Architect system may be banned from the Mission Architect System or may have their game account closed.

It has been determined that your actions violated section 18 of our rules of Rules of Conduct which states the following:

You will not exploit any bug in City of Heroes and you will not communicate the existence of any such exploitable bug (bugs that grant the user unnatural or unintended benefits) either directly or through public posting, to any other user of City of Heroes.

With regard to your account, it will be available tomorrow (Saturday, 5/23) once the 72 hour time period has passed.

This incident is being closed at this time.

Banning res sheilds was an idea I had about a month ago. At first it seemed like a good one, but it isn't.

Reason One: Where do you stop? Do you ban powers like tough and sonic dispersion?

Reason Two: such a measure would probably make stalker/kb based teams even more effective, given that many powers used to slot significant KB res bonuses will be banned.

The idea that forcing teams to run resistance buffers will help balance the current state of things is a double edged sword; it also means that people may have to run kins for additional KB protection. The resulting lineups will be stacked defensively and have little room for toons with offensive capability. I then suspect that the way to get kills will be hold/tk spikes from controllers followed by a single AS and scourges. That's pretty borring.

[/ QUOTE ]

DR on and no repeating AT will solve most of problems we have.

[ QUOTE ]
I think purely for the sake of keeping things moving quickly it should remain one toon per person. If I have options yea I'm gonna sit there switching in and out.

[/ QUOTE ]

We did beat the 3 blaster 2 emp combo, and we really wernt all on target. Banning the res shield will do nothing though. With no unresisted debuffs tough, therms, and sonics will bring us back up to the cap. Dr on in 5v5 may work vs 5 blasters but it would take testing and even then I dont know. The way I see it 4 blasters locking fast on 1 target will kill any toon in the game quick. I say 4 because the other team will be killing the 5th. It just a matter of who is faster which does take skill but ehhh. I am kinda bored of the duel stalker teams as well. Perhaps we are looking the wrong way in looking for a 12 button. If we went DR on no TS AND no repeating AT we may have some fun. We will see the rise of some very good tanks, brutes, and other toons not played atm. It would be very fun thinking of teams to do this. It will also take polished skill on the AT you are playing.

I F'n HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE INTERRUPT MY DUELS!!! Don't you noobs know how to play?!?!?!?

IF you see two people fighting 1 v 1, you shouldn't interrupt! It's proper zone etiquette to wait around doing nothing until the duel is over.

AND don't attack people who are standing around next to the duel, as you might accidentally hit a dueler with an AoE. Don't be SO STUPID!!!


….

Just kidding of course…

I only had a few minutes to play the other day, so I hopped in the zone and started hunting villains. I had a couple kills and only another minute to play before the end of the world (err. girlfriend aggro). The only remaining villain in sight was involved in a duel, but hey my time is prescious, so I had to send him to the pavement.

PvP IO!!! Woot!

The best reason to interrupt a zone duel yet!

[/ QUOTE ]

Terp,
Way more duels happen in the zone.
As a duelist you should know they are trying to fight 1on1.
I used to say the same thing, "arena?" but no one will duel me or I got like 1 a day. I really have fun fighting with "thier" rules, no pop. Call me a care bear if you want but I do duel in zone 10 times a day. I will duel anyone from any server on test if you want to set it up.
