RIP PX, GMW, and the game that used to be fun.

Still playing for reasons unknown.

Ok, that does it. You people are forcing me to take all 3 accounts to the arena now...


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

lol...I thought the same thing.
In fact, put a sticky on my 2nd monitor to remind myself: YOU. ARENA. NAO!

I need a math guru.

If 2 people 3 box, are the odds better, worse or the same if they put all 6 in one arena setting or have 3 in 2 arena settings or 2 in 3 arena settings?

No reason I am asking, just curious...

Well, it depends. Can you do a 'free for all' in the arena? From what I understand, nowadays (or at least once the most recent test patch goes live) the rep timer is 5 minutes and is not reset by being defeated by the target, or defeating the target again before the timer is up. Thus, you want each character to have the widest possible variety of targets. If you can do free for alls in the arena, then jamming all 6 characters into the same match would be best - each character has 5 potential targets, for a total of 30 drop chances every 5 minutes. If you can't do arena free for alls, I think it'd probably work out best to stock everyone up on wakies and find a deserted corner of warburg. And since teammates get rep when you kill something, probably don't want anyone to be teamed up.

Of course, given my limited experience with the arena and PvP in general, I might be wrong...

I found the cage match in the arena worked best for afk work. Small map and fixed respawn points. I never did all 3 accounts, just 2 at a time while I played the third account so I would need to verify its FFA status.

My thoughts would be.

Solo versus a team of 5, giving the 'killer' 5 targets. Run 30mins. Then swap over to the other player.

If we kill you, we get the drop.

I ran 3 accounts in cage. It was set for free for all. I used my mastermind and put 1 group of pets near the spawn of one guy and the other group near the spawn of the other guy. I've only done it about 5 times, but i did score a pvp drop one of the 5 times.

lol,... dev overreaction to farming and supply killed. Where have I seen this before.


 

Posted

It's a regular practice since I13...lousy, stupid overreaction to farming.

Edit: Then again...maybe I underestimated....I wasn't aware of the implications of ED because i was still a relative Newb to the game, but then there was the nerfage of /Regen in the super early game too.

Always a matter of making things too good to suck you in and then severe nerfage to bring you back to earth with the promise of significant improvements in the future. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. That pretty much seems to be the model for CoX.

... yeah, when they made Controllers too good and then had to give them Containment, that sucked.

When they made Ice Tanks too good and then had to let them stack armors, that sucked.

When they made SR scrappers too good and had to give them scaling regen, that sucked.

When they made Claws too good and had to cut the animation times by about a second each, that sucked.

When they made Defense in IO's too good and had to give typed defense something, that sucked.

I can do this all day. How bout you?

Your point is taken, Fulmens. It is far too easy to only remember the changes I have hated rather than those that have made the game better across the board for everyone.

When it comes down to it, regardless of any complaint I might have, this is still the only MMO that has held my interest enough to justify the subscription over an extended amount of time.

Quick question, and I think its somewhat relevant to this topic, and I don't want to start a new thread.


How often do the PvP IOs drop? Is it on a timer or something? Or is it just a chance to happen every time you defeat someone?

Thanks!

You have a chance to get a PvP IO drop every time you get a kill that awards you rep. That means, basically, one chance per 5 minutes per target (since the recent changes to the rep system). This is for both arena and zone.

It's working, they fixed the drops. It's just as rare as a Purple Drop (Or so I heard)
