First, I been afk damage farming for born in battle (i pvp alot and never have a hard time finding action and i am a freedom native) i have 10 tells in the past hour with no LFT flag up, no description of what i am in my search comment.

You are just doing it wrong, and God doesn't love you.



Lazy ignorant people think they NEED stamina

Lazy people just pick up stamina even though they KNOW its not needed, cuz they rather do an easy build than one that needs a bit of forethought

im a lazy person, i have 30 50s all with stamina, i could easily with IOs and Accolades make staminaless builds and be highly functional but that would require time and effort

The problem is that you're one of the "Forumistas" and therefore suspect at best, and an irrational, reality-warping liar at worst. The only 2 "rational" people are Ares and B_I, and the rest of you, that is to say those who do not instantly agree with the only two rational people, are irrational liars whose own experiences are inherently less valid. (Incidentally, i find it interesting that to be rational you have to ignore any evidence that does not support your premise or change the conditions to exclude it.) Anyway, the only two rational people in this thread are better than the rest of you. The rest of you have consistently failed to make me constantly howl with laughter (literally) or facepalm (metaphorically) while reading this thread. Failures, all of you.

Offering clear, detailed suggestions makes posts tl;dr for those who are truly rational. Not taking an arrogant and dismissive tone the instant someone doesn't agree with you is also irrational. Using actual numbers and concrete examples? Irrational.

Become rational now, cast off those chains of not agreeing, lest ye go on to succeed doing it differently from the two truly rational posters in this entire forum. Oh, and CityLife. i'm pretty sure CityLife would qualify as rational by the standards of the two rational people here, so now we have three rational people to lead us, hallelujah![i]

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

But it is okay to take such a tone when responding to my aforementioned post? Of course I become defensive. If you all will simply read this thread you will find a clear and concise explanation of what this thread is about. The irony is that you say we claim that their own experiences are lies when in all actuality in order to completely disagree, with me here keyword being completely, you would have to be doing the same. I have experienced NOT being able to find a team at all. I am not lazy, i am not a noob, i form teams all the time and join them by sending specific tells to people in my level range. That simple. Therefore, I know for a fact that FOR ME it and many others that I have spoken to in game on freedom server have had difficulty finding teams. Sure there is still a hefty supply of PvP on Freedom but it has for FACT diminished and seems to me like it is continuing to do so. Reactivation week in Siren's Call was about whereit should be. Why can't you understand this? This topic was simply that I have found that the population of Freedom Server is scrambled all over zones thus making teams harder to find since many of them ONLY want AE farms, though it is not impossible to find a team.

I wonder if I'm ignored for that comment about player notes or the mini fridge...

I wonder if he'd ever bothered to read my post earlier today, that he MIGHT stand a chance of getting a good forum-based team going, but I strongly suspect that 90% of Freedom's forum goers already ignore him here AND in game.

And, I have to wonder, with the list - I know that PK once put something like that in his sig and it got modded pretty quick. Do we have to wait until Monday for this troll to get smacked, or is there someone working now that can do it?

I should totally have been at the top of that list, dammit.

I keep mis-reading the OPs name as

arsetheimpaler

and snickering in a juvenile manner.

Considering the other names on the list, LISAR, it seems that anyone that disagrees with Ares, and back up their point of view with any sort of intelligence, is on the list.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you can show me 1 person that came up with something intelligent go ahead. They all told me what I already know. It is possible to find a team, it just takes a bit more effort which for me proves my point. "It is harder to find a team these days." You all keep responding to this thread and yet will not comment on this fact or the fact that PvP has diminished which is what this post is about. Ignore idiot drones that just keep agreeing with their fellow idiot drones because they have no mind of their own.

How does making a team in just a few minutes from login prove it's "harder?"

But that's DIFFERENT! Bill is a FORUM CARTEL member. And thus, everything happens in a snap because of his post count here!!

It couldn't POSSIBLY be because he looked for a team, quickly, not picky, around the right level range, decided what to do, ran and did it, and had fun.

Because only forum cartel people can do that.

Maybe this will do it then:

You made a statement.

You were given contradictory evidence, directly from the game.

Your response was to call that person a liar, both times, the second time putting them on ignore instead of answering perfectly reasonable questions about your prerequisites for a team.

Your reaction and behavior in this thread leave me, frankly, with no respect for you, and I doubt I'd WANT to team with you if I ran across you.

Now, since you did bring up PVP -

Yes, it changed massively in I13. Some people didn't want to adapt. Some people did, and didn't like it. Others tried it, and did. It is a massive change, yes. Some people say it was too much change at once, that it should have trickled in a bit at a time. I know suppression doesn't bother me, and for damage I can last a bit longer in a fight when I find one. I like that my holds will hit, that there's resistance instead of defense so at least I can DO something.

But the PVP population pretty much everywhere BUT test and freedom has never been all that big, from what I've seen. I've gone in since I registered, well before I13, and have shot up Shivans and helped battles for hotspots for hours on some servers without being bothered, and sometimes even had others come in from the other side, see me, say hi and not bother me. If you're seeing a drop there on freedom, well, several PVPers got pissed off in I13. Some left, some just stopped PVPing, some spend their time just badmouthing the game. A few stuck around. Every other server, there's just not much difference.

So, no, I'm not going to argue about what you see in PVP zones on Freedom. Everywhere else, they're usually dead anyway, and it's hard to lose members (or notice their loss) from a group that might as well not exist for how visible they were.

Once again, Bill simply proved that his lvl 25 toon could put a team together at that specific time , with toons at least 2 lvls lower than him, better xp for them, which does not prove that it is not harder to form a team because I had the exact opposite experience just yesterday. However, today I was able to find a team. You proved nothing there. It is still harder for me to form a team than it once was, I had the option before to send tells to many many people in my level range, today there were about 10 ppl total in the entire /search...if that isnt evidence i dont know what is.

This is actually true. Whenever a Forum Cartel member logs on, all of the non-cartel people on the server recieve a tell:

[forumname] THE ALMIGHTY has logged on. Quiver, ye mortals!

And if we're unlucky enough to be in the same zone as them when they log on, we all recieve a 30 minute debuff called "In the Presence of Greatness". It's only cleared if we get a group invite from the Cartel member.

So you see, Forum Cartel members most definitely have an advantage when forming teams.

*sigh*, seven minutes left on my debuff...

To be clear, on the fly, within minutes of you challenging him to.

[ QUOTE ]

Bill - "I can make a team at any point," 2:29 PM
You - "So do it, right now, redside." 2:39 PM.
Bill - 2:54 PM, "I have a team." No mention of when he logged on to Freedom, but mentions 3 minutes and waiting for replies.
You, at 2:59 saying "I see the same people," even though he never mentioned names of who he was teaming with. Sounds kind of dishonest.
Bill, 3:15, added two people, one dropped.

You, 3:18, saying something about "people leave and join all the time," which kind of contradicts your own "It's harder to make a team." You also made some sort of comment assuming a "lil" something was on his team, which he later said was not. He did, in fact, provide a screenshot of the team list.
You did, however, say he did the exact same thing as you - given his results, he's getting a markedly different experience from you.

4:06, he mentions logging off finally. So, for an hour and a half, he had a team, and kept it going. Doing, by YOUR OWN ADMISSION, "the exact same thing."

He posted this:
Do you require everyone to be the exact same level?
Do you require an 8 person team?
Do you require one of each AT, or any specific ATs/powersets?
What is so much more difficult for you when it comes to forming teams? This is not "snark," this is an honest question. What are you doing, looking for, or expecting when you form teams that's making this "more difficult?"

at which time you said "most of the people" were ignored.

Define "Your level range." Seriously. EXACTLY your level? Since you kind of implied it when you made the challenge. You sounded like you wanted a team ONLY of 22s - which is YOU limiting yourself. There's someone else counter-searching within minutes of you saying you couldn't find anyone who reported somethign very different.

Where did you search? What did you put in FOR a search? I'll make a character on Freedom if I don't have one sitting there, and do exactly what you say for a search (I won't make a team, since you're not talking making a team, just "There were this many people.") I want to know how you're searching and what EXACTLY you're looking for and accepting when making a team.

Part of the delay was me playing my Dark/Dark scrapper (without stamina, and doing fine at 22, thanks) on Pinnacle.

Sorry about that. Though, honestly, mine says "The Ineffable."
