Ok, so we should blame Matt Miller for this power making it into the game in it's current state? Can I have HIS e-mail address so I can send him my Demo of being "pwn'd" in RV by some obnoxious Stalker who thinks he's so awesome for holding be while I pop 6 breakfrees only to have him AS me and dance over my body. Oh yea thanks Matt Miller... Thank you very much.

LMAO...you too a DEMO of you getting whupped in PvP....LMAO!!!

Heck, by your post hysteria, we should all be forced to have only brawl in pvp. That way everything is fair and balanced and you wouldn't be able to get a Demo of you getting "pwn'd" by a stalker....unless you really weren't paying attention.


On a more serious note, it's a known issue, and they are fixing it. So in the meantime DEAL WITH IT.

There are PLENTY of outstanding problems in the CoH/V world, not limited to a single power in PvP. You think MasterMinds are at all happy with the Schtuff that Issue 7 brought them? Those have been known issues since before Issue 7 went live. We've dealt with it, and they are slowly fixing the problems. (nother topic nother thread).

Bugs happen, they get addressed and fixed. In the mean time the players have to DEAL with them. Doesn't get much simpler than that.

Break Frees provide KB protection already...

Just added this patch note to PvP section:

Being defeated in a PvP zone will carry debt if any of the damage to you was caused by NPCs. The amount of debt is directly proportional to the amount of damage you took from NPCs vs. how much was done by opposing Player Characters. The more damage dealt to you by NPCs means more debt when you are defeated.

* This means that you can no longer “escape debt” by being defeated by a PC after taking massive damage from NPCs, nor will you be penalized with a massive amount of debt if you are defeated by an NPC after taking a huge amount of damage from a PC.

Based on the explanation so far, it sounds like it's possible to be attacked by an NPC, get badly wounded but still defeat it and heal all damage, get taken out by a PC, and get debt. There's a long thread on the problems with the hamidon changes.

To address this point specifically: That behavior would be a bug. Damage tracked expires as you heal or regenerate. So if you took 99% damage from an NPC, healed it all back, and then took 100% damage from a PC, you would get zero debt.

That was the way it was desinged, and if it's not functioning that way, then it is a bug, and will be fixed.

Maybe I'm not understanding what this says, but is Posi saying that we don't get debt if killed by an NPC, or that we don't get debt from PvP only if 100% of the damage we take comes from another player?

(For that matter, why are Energy Melee for Brutes and Dark Melee and Dark Aura for Stalkers missing from the guide update altogether?)

[/ QUOTE ]

Stalkers Dark Melee/Dark Armor isn't missing. They are listed on pages 38-39.

I do not see Energy Melee for brutes, soo hmmm...
