patrol mishes and such u should read b4 u take THE BIG RED LETTERS.....says PvP content and once u go red u are in a PvP zone..consider that before u say things like this...
Things like
"hey i was afk why u kill me" (u not go afk in PvP zone!!)
"hey i just wanna do mission"
are totally inexcusable in a PvP zone...especially at peak times!!
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm curious...
Who says these are inexcusable?
Doesn't matter, despite the slightly objectionable wording it's still good advice. Everyone whould be aware that they are liable to be attacked indiscriminantly, whether they've got AFK above their head or not - G*d forbide you need to go to the toilet or the phone rings.
Go in with the assumption that everyone's an a***hole and you won't go too far wrong.

Let we think before talking please, if ppl are doing missions, then they have a excuse, afk is not the excuse that's for sure, but missions?? c'mon buddies , attacking ppl that is doing mishes, like blasters, defenders.... u know they can't do nothing against scrappers neither tankers, and that PvP zone is fulled of them, that's for cowards, if the blaster is on team and attacking at the beach then ok, this is like Tyson VS Bill Gates in a match, what is the chance for bill?
Don't come now saying oooh is a game, is a game. that's a excuse ¬¬
the missions that are picked to be done in PvP zones are PvE content with the warning that they are liable to be attacked once they enter the zone...so the excuse hey i am just missioning doesnt stand.....and who told u blasters can do do nothing against scrappers....or defenders..
Ermmm, Blasters vs Scrappers??? , let we see, most of the scrappers are regen, and some of blasters Assault, like me..... ok now i will start using my Ice patch, to reduce the scrapper capacities, now... if my snipe is not interrumpted i will hurt him/her too much, but then he/she will heal self, then start again, and this time i think snipe will be all the time interrupted, now if i have luck, scrapper would fall into my ice patch, then i will click on build up and full auto, then flamethrower, and shotgun, if i didn't kill him/her with that, he/she will regen again and use all his/her powers against me then bye bye..... that's the clue.... anyways don't worry i'm trying to fight sometimes .. to be better and better.... :P
Blaster VS scrapper? Iv beaten lots of scrappies to the ground. Even the infamous regens. But I do suspect that those scrappers havent had PvP builds. Some of the scrappers are downright dangerous and even if some of them manage to kill me im sure to give em a fight before i go. If you want to PvP, make PvP build. It DOES matter a lot!

My scrapper is now (well sorta) setup for PvP, one and a half levels til i'm in 
any well built blaster can beat my DM/DA
It's just impossible to keep 8 toggles up, when you status resist toggles get dropped frequently with 100% toggledrop attacks (100% which idiot came up with that?) and you get mezzed.
Result? cannon fodder for the blaster.

"A Scrapper is a lot like a chainsaw. Somewhat hard to handle, incredibly dangerous, and by far the most fun when wielded by the slightly insane."
Admittedly, I had to run from my first PvP experience in Warburg, but that was mostly because, at the moment I got hit, I was lagging so badly I'd been hit 7 or 8 times before my controls unfroze long enough for me to move,let alone power up IH and DP, and try and strike back.
I was justified in running like the girl that my character was
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

They do damn well enough actually. My first visit to Warburg got me ripped to shreds by two blasters in very quick short order. I don't think they actually used many ranged attacks at all either.
Tbh, Regen doesn't seem to count for anything once Integration gets dropped & you're stunned, staggering about in circles trying to trigger off your reserves. Then you look at your primary & realise you had the only thing going for you, damage, nerfed well & truly out of the pitch. PVP is now a lot more than being about damage. Anything that stops your ability to actually make an action is going to kill you... holds, right down to a stun or disorient will do it. You get one of them on you & you may as well start picking your teeth back up off the floor.
Make a PVP build if you want to PVP? I think that is damn right. My Spines/Regen build tore thru' PVE without breaking a sweat, but in PVP it's a definite different ball game.
Yeah, the first visit to Warburg is rough. It will open up your eyes. I don't buy into the scummy premise of heroes fighting heroes etc, but you get exactly what it says on the tin. I'll go back into Warburg, 'cos it can be a good laugh. I won't go in expecting to proove anything tho', or win a hell of a lot. Maybe when I get my or another build sorted maybe I can get precious about winning more. When I take a scrapper in there I'm keeping the Blasters in mind always.
Maybe the point is that it's a bit of an [censored] that you'd need consider orientationg more towards PVP. I thinks it's a shortfall for the game that there's a lack of PVE/PVP balance despite some leatherings from the Nerf Bat in the name of "balance". But then again, what are people meant to do currently after 50? I'm sure if any higher level content was ever introduced the PVP'ers may well be shouting just as loudly about how much PVE sucks & is unfair.
Oh wait... it already is

Bloody yellow frogs, fight like men or women that you are supposed to be not like poor squishey level 1s. Especially tanks and scrappers, You're supposed to be Melee class, don't go and hide in a safe zone when you take damage.

I agree.
Was in Warburg the other night and 2 toons were arguing. One of them said that the other guys couldn't talk because he couldn't be beaten..... DING DONG!!! invite
We went into the zone to fight the guys and everytime he got on low heatlh he was straight in the water and wouldnt fight far away from it either. Eventually stacked about 12 holds on him and brawled him to bits lol! then they moan cause they got held - forget your break frees then

What? bla bla bla , just for fun killing others while they are doing patroling or mishes? that's for cowards, yesterday i saw a damn guy hunting ppl that were going to their mishes and patroling, don't be silly and keep fighting gathered, let the solo players do their own mishes in Warburg, ¬¬

Welcome to PvP. Please buckle your seatbelt and keep your hands within the vehicle at all times.
To that person, he was doing nothing wrong. You know the risks of stepping into a PvP zone, why shouldn't he attack you???

this is one of the main reasons im proud to be on Union: no ganking (so far)
i went to fight the Archnos base in Bloody Bay last night and i got beat by 4 villains, but that was after a 10 minute fight where i got both a brute and a physcic's health down very low and then reinforcements came in as the form of 2 heroes but i still died
at the end of it i congratulated the villains of taking me down and thanked the heroes for their help and it was fun all round.
on Union i dont think anyone has encounterd a ganker or a team of them (but then i havent been into warburg yet because im waiting to reach level 30 on my main 
so i cant tell you what happens there on Union)
PS that was the most fun i have had for ages last night
trying to do a mission and getting killed is not ganking, going to the lauch glowie rdy to launch and getting killed by a team waiting there to grab the code is.

that is what i mean about ganking (my example was rather rubbish)
Not a reply to the post above, just to say this was my first PvP bash this weekend, and I had an absolute blast - be it with a large group or one-on-one with other scrappers. Won some, lost some, had fun - and for the most part it seemed to be taken in good humour.
