Loved the Game Dialogue Gems featuring Becky (the valley-girl) Tarantula Mistress!!

That's one of my fav missions red-side, because of her!

I thought someone should clarify a few things about the Renegades vs UJL fight. Its obvious it can be very dificult to see whats going on at all times however Stalkers dont hunt MM pets. Its actually the opposite. MM's are used to try to keep stalkers out of hide so they can't use thier signature attack (AS) as well as debuff or disrupt the opposite team. Dominators can be a big factor in a matchs, just not in that perticular match roster. I beleive Robo was playing sonic in that match, Acidz was our thermal. All in all were very happy to see the villian side get coverage and wan't to thank you for featuring us in the article.

Oh wow sorry for all the confusion...the only thing I saw out there were MMs and Corruptors (for obvious perception reasons). It was fun and really different to cover though...going to make an effort to see and cover that VORI match too for the #1 spot next week, depending on whether I can wrangle out of sg commitments in time to be there.

Stalkers will aslo turn on pets that are going after them. This is not to weaken the MM really but more to get those pesky things off their backs. Thx so much for the writeup. Was great to see villain coverage! I look forward to more since there is alot of upcoming action.

Vori vs Renegades is going to be an awsome fight. With any luck one of the Vori members will be recording the fight to possibly post on YouYube. Articles on the TPvPL and matches like these have helped increase interest in pvp. Keep up the great work and again thank you. Hope to see you in Port Oaks on the 4th

yes, thanks for the coverage of villian PvP. I hope you get a chance to see all the matches that are coming up in the next couple of weeks. Besides the recent forfeit by GMW vs. VR-C, there are two other matches: UJL vs. Vori and VR-C vs. UJL.

For the record #8 in the Top Ten list is what I yell at mobs in my missions.

While it may be true, in your match, that the MM's were used to keep the stalkers out of hide -- I can assure you, that as a stalker in PvP land, I WILL go after the MM pets first if I intend to defeat the owner. Less pets, means less bodyguard that comes into play, which equates to taking the owner down faster.

In warburg this would be true, however in matches in test 8v8 villians the MM will often get too far away from his pets leaving him out of bodyguard and open to attack, often however you cant do a tap to tell. Instead you end up ASing the MM and if he is down to 1 hp, he was out of bodygurd...if not you move on.

Great job on the issue! How to get the Warren into the base articles, hmm...

If anybody's taking votes on other possible 'NPC dialog gems', I personally vote for either the Superfreak or Bob DeFuse-y. Freakshow fun!
