Well, some of you are in RP SG's, start harassing people to come with.

I do, but they all seem to keep having social lives

We need more role-players!!
Every time I start talking with a character part of me starts thinking "I bet this is an alt of someone I allready know".

Makes it soo hard to recruit viable numbers of cannon fodder [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] (which is my IC reason for going to the clocktower).

Freedom Flight:
Protecting Freedom throughout the Multi-verse.

Server: Defiant/Union
Type: Happy go lucky trans-dimensional heroicness, all types of player are welcome as long as it is understood that enjoyment comes first.

1: All ATs are welcome.
2: Till we have recovered from the collapse, there will be a limit on the number of alts you can have at one time in the group.
3: We will be re-starting the IC arena training sessions, and as ever we still encourage people to have a nose around in the main pvp zones.
4: Roleplayer or not, you can still influence the SG and progress in it.
5: At the moment we do not have any set meetings due to the rebuild and lack of active roster.
6: Have fun, that is the most important thing. [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

... and then MM's got bodyguard and that risk vanished ^^

Im still not impressed by BGmode, I have not noticed it doing much to increase MM survivability that much.
If anything it makes things much easier for my heroes.

Because if I dont drop the MM with my attacks I now know that his minions are going to be wounded and thus easier to deal with should they attack me.

With my Mercs/poison I tend to run out of end horribly fast on elites/sgs/or AVs.

But then the poison set is quite an aggressive one in my opinion, I want to throw out those slows,holds,-regens as wuickly as possible and as often as possible [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But im not sure stamina would make much of a difference over better slotting with endreds.

I have never even considered taking acrobatics for my MM from my experiences if something is hitting me and wants to kill me , then it will..REgardless of if I have acro ot not.

If an enemy gets past my mercs, then I am pretty much dead. But thats the risk I took by playing a MM [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Fire/TA is a nice set combination (but then Ta just plain rocks when used well).

I had one a while ago but ran into my usual lvl20-22 brick wall (lack of teams,CoV,boredom) and stopped playing her. Since then shes been consigned to the bin of "delete" .

Oh lordy..how on earth am I ment to keep up with all these fotms!!! :P

Think I'll stick with my blaster and just do "lazy pvp" (sitting in the base waiting for villains with tp-foe)..Its funny [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

With my ice/ tank I must admit I have not taken taunt yet..But then he is only lvl 13. Even so I can see it being put off till the 20s, unless I start finding that I am losing the aggro.

'Till then I am much more concerned at being able to protect a team from the enemy AND remain standing, and offer a valuable damage output.

Before I took the third lvl cold aura(the slow power) I was wishing I had taunt, but once I got that I turned into the centre of attention :P

Depends on why you are doing it and how.

If its as part of a role-play SG/VG and all the players are aware of the rules of rp in their group...Then fine go for it.

Group takeovers are a staple of good IC politics, I was thinking of something similar in our villaing group. Maybe even having the end resolution(we can assume it would come to a confrontation) in warburg or arena (me and any allies I can get in the group Vs the loyalists).

It would be fun and the loyalists would have all the advantages (base teleporters/base med units), whereas the rebals would have no such support and risk possible character death on top of exile from the group (death would just be removing the char from RP).

As long as the rules of your group are observed, then fine.

Corrupters are deadly in pvp, as a hero I am more concerned about them than my villains are concerned about blasters.

They can throw out a good bit of damage, and usualy hit you withsomething that reduces your combat effectiveness.

And if the fight is dragging on, you just know that the letters of doom "scourge" are gonna start popping up.

My villains are not overy worried about defenders oddly, I know they're nasty but its usually only if they out lvl me or have support that makes me retreat.

With my heroes though Ive lost count of the number of times some corrupter has nailed me with an Ice/terror combo or sonic/terror.

My first MM was/is a Merc/poison and I have had good fun with him, even managed some success in pvp.

But now in the age of Thugs I am wondering, are Mercs needed anymore?

Given the choice what would people rather have mercs or thugs?

Hmmm my post does look a bit angry..even with the smiley..Ah well

i dont see any time when running back to the ship is acceptable, running is fine but running back to the ship at the first sign of trouble is pretty much cheating IMO.

that said last night in warburg was great fun, havent had that much fun in pvp for a while and it was great to see a lot of very good new ppl that i hadnt really seen before. havent been in the zones for ages but was well impressed with ppl last night, particularly cosmic avenger, theregulator (spent 20minutes trying to kill u, got u eventually ), destructor? (globes tank) damn u were annoying, stopped me getting so many kills, u reminded me of max powerz u were that good. there was a very good /kin corruptor as well which was very hard to kill. evo was also very good and annoying with the end drain good to see AoWs other players are getting as good as zak, stryker and sgt. shud b good to have a mass sg arena fight soon.

Bah, If it does not entail breaking the Eula then its not cheating..This sounds like a lot of the comlpaints 'porters get for using their powers..Or any character/player who chooses to use hit'n'run tactics.

Withdrawing to safety can make the difference between just getting killed all the time or managing to get a few kills each night.

[/ QUOTE ]

IMO means in my opinion, it has nothing to do with the holy Eula, u clearly are another one who cant READ, i never said anything is wrong with runnin or hit andd running, hit and running is good tactics, jumping in and out of a safe zone to gank targets is cheap and u obviously aint got the slightest bit of skill

[/ QUOTE ]

No I CAN read.
What I was pointing out was that no matter what YOU OPINION is there is nothing wrong with players using ANY part of the zone for cover/protection as long as it DOES NOT violoate the eula.

While there are safe zones in the game is a perfectly sound tactic to use them for cover while you heal/recharge powers before launching out on another attack.

Using the safe zones for cover has nothing to do with "ganking" which lets be honest is something I would guess every pvper does.. Because I have seen very few teams not attack a solo target.



Certainly if you part of a solid team then such a tactic is not really needed unless you are grossly outnumbered/outmatched, as a coherent team can create their own "safe zone" of sorts and reduce the need to fall back to a strong posistion.


And when did commenting on other posters "skill" come into it, sure I spend a lot of time feeding the enemy in pvp Mainly as:
1: I am not using a pre-fab pvp build.
2: I find the whole thing very funny.
3: I use pvp as testing ground for my pve powers/tactics and am not overly bothered about how others perceive my "skill".

Anyway, you posted your opinion..fine, then allow other people to post their opinions of why you are wrong.

It just seems that you areannoyed about not being able to get a kill because people run away..So what? deal with it..Have you thought that perhaps people might not want to be defeated, and that there is nothing wrong with that?

Remember we do this to have fun...Not comlpain and sulk when people dont stand still to get defeated (and that part is aimed at all those who also think using inspiratsion,teleport,SJ,SS,Stealth,hide,AS,snipe, clearmind,tactics,defenders,tanks, is cheating).

Oh look the obligatory smiley

Team first, bots second normaly.
In most cases im normaly healing the brutes and my bots, the rest rarely get hit due to the aggro drawing brutes.
Saying that stalkers need a bit love sometimes too.

right, I was wondering just what are the unversal powers in CoX? we know there is the bashined patheon, gods and spirits and so forth but what aout the big ones like god etc. for example, Marvel has Galaticus, Infinity, Eternity, Death and oblivion as as the Tri-Bunal, the celstials etc. but what does CoX have?

[/ QUOTE ]

Eh?
That made no sense to me, sorry. Do you want a list of CoX gods and uber-beings, or a list that does not include the gods?
In your post you list gods in both bits which is confusing to my poor roasted brain :P

Just came from RV....and im a bit puzzled.

While i was in there i got the "Villains control pillbox" msg.."great" i thought. So i grab a heavy and head on over.
Once i get there, there is a lone Villain on the pillbox, so i send in my heavy (as you do), then get told to STOP by a group of Heroes saying "he's helping us get the temp powers" :/ .
Sorry, but this is a joke right?

Are we now supposed to just wait till its convinent for others before we attack?

People need to understand that they cant just monopolize pvp zones like this. So its either ignore their requests and attack, and become "the bad guy" or just sit there or log out and come back on when its convenient to them.



[/ QUOTE ]

Ignore them.
Seriously unless they have asked you to help them, then kill away.
IT is a pvp zone and in 99% of cases I will be nice and leave them alone, but lets be honest 99% of them will not do the same in return.

I went into there the other night (my second trip into RV,first was to clear the map and look around), I was happily stomping around with my mercs getting killed by Statesman,taking down the odd pillbox or two when I Was killed by a confused villan and some heroes.

Apparently they were working together to get the badges and whatever else you get, and were annoyed with playing the game :O
Safe to say I put my second ever person on ignore that day.

If people cannot grow up enough to not insult or be offencive then they deserve the mighty button of "ignore" ....Fools..

I RP on both servers too, and thought the Defiant role-play community to be fairly healthy.

Part of the problem I have found is that players are getting told by other players that Union is the role-play server. In fact some people have been quite offencive about it.

I started on Defiant with my first char and only made a role-play char on Union to see if there was more rp there...Which to be honest I have not seen more of.

Sonic/energy melee.

Versatile and fun
Sure it does not have a snipe attack,and its "novaesque" power is terrible..But I enjoy it :P
It does have a great stun power, which is ideal for knockin flying fools out of the sky in pvp

And em rocks.. extra BU power, conserve energy..all good powers

9pm onwards for the RPness in cov?
Might be able to get my VG to pop in

One Vs one or against small groups (3-4 inividuals) I have no probs, I can throw out my mind/psi stuff and melt their feeble brains.

It all goes wrong if I use the mass sleep power, they all fall asleep someone near by breathes, they all wake up and come looking for me :O

But hes only lvl 8 so plenty of time to learn new wonderous ways to kill things

They werent ambushes, they were "virgin" mobs that I had been watching while drinking a cup of tea. I was about to attack when the wyvern lt turned around and attacked me.

I was running Hide and none of my toggles and had not even activated an attack yet.

At first I though that maybe it was due to a bad connection (I have been rubberbanding a bit recently on Onion, and had a fwe disconnects), but there was no visual ques that I had lagged or disconed .

He was +1 lvl so I guess he could of just got lucky

DG>

I have found recently that wyvern Lts have been quite happily ignoring my hide, without activating tactics or anyother visible animated power.

A few other pve things have done it too, so theres one motivation for taking stealth if you dont pvp.
