  1. Did another LvL 40 Mayham mish and unlike my last one I did not fall through the zone.

    But we hit the bank and Maticore shows up. Or whatever his name is. My AS did 0 damage everytime I hit him but all the rest of my attacks hit and we beat him.

    The problem is when we beat him it did not credit us for the kill so we failed the mish because no other hero spawned and we killed the one that did but it did not count.

    Also are the sig heros couted to the badge in Mayham mishs. Or do we even know who is a "sig hero".

    I have battled Posi,Mati,Numiara,and lumy and not a thing.
  2. Any word on the soul crystal bugs.

    Does every single person that this happens too need to report it are the first 15 thousand good enough?
  3. My only issue with this AT so far is it is sooooo end heavy.

    I assume once I get my attacks SOed with end and get all the powers SOed it will be better.

    But I already see fitness a must and leaping a must for immob protection and end recovery.


    And has anyone else had the chance to build up a nice pile of MOBs with Staice field then hi thunder strike OOOOMMMMMGGGGG its so cool and if you get 10 mobs one hit with thunder strike gives you 50-75% rage Yummy
  4. Last nite I ran a May Mish and I got to the bank and robed it.

    Then I get jumped by Posi. I was like OMG W T F needless to say he beat me. But it was sooo cool.


    So I end up in jail. I break out of my cell and run into another NPC villian but she helps me. She was a Kat/something stalker and looked like silver mantis. Again very very cool.

    We make our way out and as soon as I hit the door to leave the station bam I am falling off the zone take all but 1 damage and then am stuck there.

    This link will show screenies the first 4 ounder survalance pics you will see posi jump me the villian that helped me escape and me stuck under the mish.
  5. Yes 100% right.

    But this has not been working.

    I can not tell you the times I have tried this or had someoone in the group try this and they hit a Min and the whole group comes.

    They are doing it as you discribe.

    I think there was a change to IA in the MOBs.

    Pulling works but far less then b4 and not as easy as b4.

    I started to see these changes when CoV hit.
  6. Shadow Maul will not crit hit out of hide
  7. So far very very very sick looking woot

    Thank you my point was not lost.

    And I agree and if this was it the end no more nerf no one shot changeing I would over look this too.

    And to be 100% real here the 2 nerf they are adding will not effect me in the least. I just fear that if we as a community sit here and let these 2 happen when they realy do not change much and really will not effect most PvP stalkers it is just the start of a snowballing nerf quest to distroy our AT.

    The 2 thing are minor but it only takes a small stone to start an avalanch that can distroy a city. Once it gets rolling it can not be stoped I do not want to see this happen to this AT or this game cause once this AT is made usless in PvP the next one will be put on the choping block to be nerfed too.

    Then were going to end up with the same kinda mess that SWG did. first was the nerf BH so they did then it was nerf CMs so they did then Jedi then rifle then carbs then Drs then medic then the hole game became one big carbo copy class using different weapons with the same skills.

    Now 32 awsome new interesting classes have been distroyed and left with 9 weak shells of their formerselves classes and 75% of the people playing quit.

    And it all started over and I " No big deal its just a small change to the BH class"

    I would hate to see CoX end up being a 3 class shell of itself because the dev get sick of endless pointless nerf crys and distroy the game to the point that knowbody can complain cause all you can be Hero or villians Is One melee AT one ranged AT or One healer AT. But maybe everyone would be happy after all there will be no stalkers and that is the point after all right?

    Again he didn't just say villain ATs. He said all ATs, that includes hero ATs also. And I don't think it is a matter of "keeping up" but more of a you are an olympic runner and the other ATs are crawling babies

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Heard and understood.

    But I am not sure what server you are on but on Justice I find more villians PvPing then I find heros. I think personaly alot of the unbalance in PvP has to do with CoV being new. I know myself and lot of my friends that play have not touched our Hero toons since CoV came out. I can only assume there are many others doing the same.

    I would like to know if they took that into account when they came up with this overwhelmingly onesided acount of PvP activity and stalker kill %.

    For example say there are 100 people playing on server X while they wait for CoV. These 100 people are all playing CoH now we know that CoH had 7 ATs they could roll 5 normal 2 epic. Now say CoV hit the stores and 50 of the 100 people playing CoH buy CoV. Now lets say of those 50 people 25 get hooked on CoV and do not play the heros that they played for over a year and got board of for a few months. So now we have 100 people that used to play CoH, 50 now play CoH and nothing else. 50 play both and 25 of the 50 that play both now only play CoV and have set their CoH toon aside for a bit.


    So while all this is going the devs hop in and say ok lets see what AT is getting the most kills. And they say it is stalkers well thats a no brainer cause you have people that do not play CoH anymore or very rarely and what is the best villian toon to roll for PvP umm stalkers.

    It almost makes me belive the dev did not really crunch #s here and just tossed a dart at a wall with the ATs listed and hit stalkers as they are played more in PvP then any other AT.


    In other words if you had a player base of 300,000 people and now 200,000 play CoV more then CoH well no kidding there are more stalkers making kills then any other AT first there are 100,000 more people playing CoV then CoH and of those extra 100,000 alot roled stalkers the best PvP AT the villians offer.

    It has nothing to do with people listening or not listening to you or whatever you're talking about. It also has nothing to do with people not understanding the AT or being confused about it's uber-ness.

    It has to do with what Castle said: Stalkers are *dominating* pvp in Bloody Bay and Siren's. Now I have no problem if they're more powerful than everyone else, they're supposed to be, that's the way they're built, but it's a matter of degree. According to Castle the numbers are beyond being horribly lopsided. And so an itty bitty little teeny weeny nerf (which this is) would not seem to be out of line.

    [/ QUOTE ]



    This the very thing I am talking about. Is this a tiny nerf yes 100% I agree but it is that perseption of this being just a little change just a tiny nerf and then its another tiny nerf and another and another then you take 5-10 tiny little nerf that mean nothing alone but added up distroy the AT. And it this type of reaction that is going to keep the nerf bat swinging our way.

    Another poster pointed out and was 100% right. The fact is the Stalker AT is the best villian AT for PvP not because we can hide not because we can AS but because with the combo of powers we were given we can kill the fastest in PvP and in this game it is about speed in PvP not pure damage. Brutes are awsome but can not deal the kinda damage stalkers can untill they get all raged up. Corruptors can not do it unless they use massive buffs and or get the target below 50% health so scurge kicks in.

    So now we are at a point were we are being nerfed even though small and why because we are uber no because the other villian ATs can not keep up with us in PvP. So yea no kidding there are more stalkers PvPing then any other villian AT.

    Now go back and qoute me were I said 5-10 small nerfs later our AT will be distroyed. First nerf AS doing only 99% of the targets health in damage no more one shotting. Second placate nerf. Lets see how good we are after these 2 small nuggets of nerfyness and then see how we are after the next 3 nerfs you all seem content to sit there and take.

    Yeap that sums it up nicely

    Placate Nerf

    True.

    But go back and read 1 I remeber like the back of my hand when i posted and called every stalker to set aside our personal disagreements to defend our AT aginst the the people that do not play it do not want to and know nothing about it and yet say were are over powered and cheap or easy killers.

    I never said anything about patron power till today as we did know know about them till today. Sure we played guessing games but now we know.

    Ok I am going to say it and I am going to be flamed.

    IT IS EACH AND EVERY SINGLE STALKERS FAULT THIS HAPPENED.

    I have been saying from beta if the stalker comunity sits back and let the people spewing propaganda about this AT with no voice of reason they would win. So you all set back and flamed me every time I said it and now its going to happen so thanks for letting uninformed BS spewing toolboxs distroy our AT because you were too busy flaming me when i told you this would happen.
  16. I want more.

    I have always been happy that the devs of this game have been so close to thier players and respond to our questions.

    But I feel the broadness and vageness of this post we are owed a more in depth response.

    Will this effect NPCs meaning will it no longer be posable to drop anything in one shot? Or will this effect players only? Will it stop NPCs from one shoting players? The one second damage thing will that be total damage or damge from one person? What if I AS the same time a corruptor snipes our attacks hit at the same time thus causeing a player to go from 100% of HP to 0 in a second.

    I personaly do not see how this is going to change my PvP style I can not one shot anything in WB aside from MMs. I always need atlest one extra attack for the kill.
  17. Can I ask then why you all did not give the placate skill a different name then placate the effect. If you call a hold a hold you expect it to do a HOLD calling a skill placate but it acts different then another placate makes it really confusing.

    I as many have been were really disapointed when we discovered that smoke flash states it placates but does not work like the placate skill.

    I think rewording the skills discription might help end this issue.

    Just an Idea.
  18. If they do than they will need to add to hit checks to every other auto hit power in the game IE taunt,repel. On the side of fairness and balence ofcourse.

    In otherwords let them cry it aint going to happen.
  19. Very interesting

    But as you lawer the big Samoin I must addvice you that eather and CoV placateing will not mix.
  20. Ok good points.

    But what about when you placate and you do get the green hidden status in your bar?

    I have been hidden using Placate and had the green hidden effect come up. I have also been hidden using placate and it not come up. Does the game know the difference? How can we?
  21. This is because the Black Line Coptor piolets are lazzy slackers and refuse door to door service in BB.

    This happened to me every single time I zone into BB. I can not remeber the last time I zoned in and was in my own base.
  22. Because after 2 years its still a LvL 1 power.

    What is so hard to belive that a LvL 1 power is not nor will it ever be uber.
  23. Silly noob I had that happen too once I droped a scrapper attacking our base in BB and then went after the troller with him and drop the troller. I turn around to see the scrapper us an awake i was like your dead on pricaple here sorry.
  24. I am not sure if you posted this to be a guild or if you were looking for some feed back on this build.

    I can tell you upfront that the way you have picked these skills your going to be hurting. If this is a respec build it looks cool but I have to ask.

    Why only 1 Heal in health?

    Why 5 ends in stamina when it caps at 3?

    Why slot damage redux in Kuji-in Rin its a stat protection skill and only need 3 recharge SOs to make it perma with a few seconds of it stacked?

    Why slot In Sha with only 1 heal if you slot it 3 recharg 3 heal you are healing about 75% damage?

    Why hasten at all?

    Why not slot your attacks with atleast 1 disorent incress?

    Why take acro you have stat protection in Kuji-In Rin?

    AND FOR THE OF G*D WERE IS PLACATE?


    I am not flaming you or your build but I had to ask.
