Get Realistic PvP IO's

BTW when I did what that quote said in an Arena match it said PVP disabled. It also gave no rep count. Are we certain that the Arena is dropping PVP IOs?

I thought pvp drops were now rep based? I thought the arena didn't have rep?

The patch notes explained that it was enabled to function on the rep timer in the Arena, even though there is no rep rewarded there.

Had a friend get a PO drop last night in the Arena while we were testing something. They are dropping in the Arena.

does this answer you question flu. you might want to actually check a few posts back from now on before you go asking questions that have already been answered.

or if some one else maybe could verify from their own personal experience because a person's friend could have been lying? I mean while the devs had pvp recipees disabled alltogether i was seeing people in a pvp zone claiming to have gotten a drop when there was no possible way they could have.

Where can I SEE the rep timer?

Scroll back, it was answered.

[/ QUOTE ]I seem to be overlooking it ...

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not seeing it either.


We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

The blaster will be squishier than the scrapper no matter what

[/ QUOTE ]
I thought squishies in PvP got auto-resists now. That being the case a Scrapper with all toggles off would presumably be easier to kill than a Blaster. I may be missing something though.

[/ QUOTE ] That was my point. So far I have a Developer who says it works but no way to verify. Then we have one person post saying a friend got it. I'd think collectively we'd like some way to verify that the arena is infact dropping PVP IOs.

Sorry, you guys are right. He asked that question in ANOTHER thread and it was answered in the next post.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ahhh, I missed that since I was so alarmed by BaBs post immediately after that...

How can I see this rep counter?

[/ QUOTE ]

simple go to a pvp zone and either kill some one or get killed then look at your personal player info under the pvp tab where you can see rep and the player defeat list it will show you who and how long before rep is enabled on them.

[/ QUOTE ]

And it dosen't work in the Arena anyway.

So what if I had said I had gotten it? Doesn't mean I'm telling the truth, just that I said I got it like my friend had gotten one. Just pointing that out, 'cause it really doesn't matter whether I got it or a friend did.

I was also in the match, and he said he got one right after one my teamates was killed, so I believe him. It was a Fury of the Gladiator for anyone who cares.

Still playing for reasons unknown.

Melee types get 10% resist to all with higher HP
Ranged types get 30% resist with lower hp.

To be honest it takes just about the same number of attacks and time to defeat either when the toggles are all off

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe any blaster sets have self-rez.

Oh, just double checked and there's an epic pool one. I think I'd sooner go with a scrapper so I can start trying at lower levels.

I was not calling you or your friend a liar. I was pointing out there was no need for the guy asking for verification to be told to search more when no one so far here has gotten one first hand. sorry if you thought i was calling you a liar. But i know even on task force teams I have copied a purple i got somewhere else just to poke fun at my sg mates. As i told them I was mooching their drops lol.

If A kills B he gets a 1 in 100 chance at a PVP recipe drop.

[/ QUOTE ] Do we know for sure that at each defeat generating a Rep that there is a 1% chance to drop a PVP IO?

Interestingly, it works out something like this:

Your PvP-built Blaster has 40% base resistance and will probably have capped (1606 HP). Your PvP-built Scrapper has 10% base resistance and, for the sake of simplicity, probably has about 1800 HP (I'm assuming a Regen here, without DP running - with DP they'd be at the 2409 cap). Factoring in DR, the Blaster won't actually have that 40% (it's more like 28%) unless they're running a resist-based APP shield. DR won't eat too heavily into the 10% base that a Scrapper gets.
