Don't enter RV and moan when I use an insp

What can I say, I'm sorry that you and 2 other heroes were attacking me and that I felt like popping a few purples and yellows, reds, greens etc.

Man if every time I moaned when a blaster/troller popped a break free when I web-naded them, I'd begin to sound like my misses.

It's PvP, there are no rules other than the ones the Devs have coded into the game. If you're a hero and I'm in the mood - I'm taking you down, with or without my accolades/tier9/arachnos heavy melee ftw! elite bosses and big fat reds/greens/purples/oranges and yellows I so graciously receive from executing every type of longbow warden the game has to offer - again and again and again.

For the record, I walked away from that battle unscathed

Although there is no rule about using insps in PvP its kind of like an unwritten code If every1 used insps all the time there would be no point in pvp as no1 would die - well until u run out of insps - and every1 would be dealing some massive damage

True, but I usually apply that unwritten rule if I happen to catch someone 1v1 or its an agreed duel. When its 3-4 heroes vs 1 villain you cant moan if I pop and insp or 2 (or 20) in order to survive and perhaps fight back. I've dealt with blasters who pop a load of reds and come to nova me and that's fair enough, they'll get one shot at it and if they fail to kill me (nova vs 90% eng res :s ) then they've wasted all their insps and have to zone.

Like I saidm the rules of PVP are essentially laid down by the devs i.e what is possible ... is possible. Unwritten rules? sure but only when I want a challenge

I don't care about being ganked by people once, being attacked by surprise, for anyones duels or whether or not its fair to be TK'd into foes or TP'd droned. Once you have proved yourself with someone and got a rep; then unless there is some valuable info to gain from perhaps a combat log or that person is more than willing to have another go for their interests; then I think its job done. In PVP there are almost no rules. Rules are made by people to suit themselves whenever more than by the given limitations that the EULA and what possible mechanics are left. One golden rule for the good of the game is to not consistently harass people and make them leave or go off the idea of PvP.

In short its either about getting a rep or bounty, attaining some knowledge, doing whatever dirty trick it takes to win the zone or both opposing PvPers idea of fun. The rest is trash to me and so constantly getting someone (get them once by all means for a rep or bounty) who is just trying to get a explorer badge would be trash because its ruining their evening (get them once by all means for a rep or bounty). I was constantly ganked once and so when I eventually became the bounty I just as shamelessly spent the evening in the hospital, untouchable, watching movies, Wimbledon I think it was followed by Love Actually.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

I find Insps are ok, as long as both sides know you're using them
If they weren't ok, the Insp tray would be grayed out when you were in a PvP zone

Then don't get too close to the drones or always carry enough bf's to break tk if there is someone in the zone with tk. Its that simple.

We don't all just pvp for rep, bounty or any of the other things you mentioned.

Why not harass people or try and put them off the idea of pvp? If they are getting on everyone nerves in the zone and are acting like a PITA them putting them off pvp seems like a good idea to me.

And ruining a carebear badgers evening by making them work for a zone badge sounds good to me. Surely the original idea of the pvp zone badges was to reward those who actually pvp in the zones instead of sitting in the hospital. Badgers are sad creatures anyways and deserve anything they get. I personally like to mob tp them.

People sitting in the hospital doesn't bother me. You get bounty from killing anyone - not just the top bounty BTW.

I'll never understand what fun there is in repeating the same moves on someone thats already been recently beaten, whose only way of getting on peoples nerves is by being there and unwilling to fight really. Is there a thrill to be had from it? In PVE you can ignore people whom you don't like or have had enough of in terms of spoiling your evening but in a PVP zone you can't really, the option to ignore doesn't actually exist. I can't say it should but harassment takes on many forms and to get ganked, go to hospital, get ganked goto hospital over and over isn't fun for the gankee. Gut if the gankee is getting time badge anyway, sits in the hospital as the target bounty too much in the way of complaints spoiling the gankers fun and watching a film thats much more interesting. People being put off only leads to there being less people taking part, if zones are fun for everyone then I'd imagine that a good thing anyways by watching a movie as the bounty people were put off but like you I wasn't bothered.

I do pvp if attacked without a worry, I see the no rules situation and I thought tp droning was a fair tactic but eventually ppl get bored with repetition.

If it's not specifically forbidden, it's allowed. And yes some people (like myself) do enjoy listening the whining when droning someone for the n:th time or do some other nasty, against-the-unwritten-bull****-code, trick.

You enjoy listening to people's whining? What are you? A psychiatrist, social worker or something?

But seriously, when I see someone who seems to be a one-(cheap-)trick-pony he gets marked as an "unfun person".
So, when I am on a toon that is immune to this trick or said unfun person is in a sitiuation where he/she/it can not use this trick chances are that this person will be my primary target.



If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

Yes well. "Fun" is subjective thing.

Inspirations in RV ftw!!

You spent 400,000,000 inf On your dream build

I spent 1000 inf on 20 inspirations and totally wipe you before running like a coward on the event my inspirations are running out

Makes your inf spent seem kinda...wasted =P

That's quite relative... After only 400,000 fights the one with the expensive build starts getting even.

Well I'm afraid its always pretty much the same moves all the time. Most people fire off pretty much every power they have until the other person is dead or until they are dead/sent running. Its not like its very practical to respec in the middle of a fight so I don't know what other 'moves' you expect someone els to use.

Getting ganked and learning to deal with it is what happens in the zones. You either learn to deal with it and get around it if you are a good player or just hide in the hosp if you are a bad player.

Then again - maybe certain people just get ganked because no one likes them.

I don't care if people are put off. The people who are put off tend to be the ones we don't want in the zones anyway.

I don't care if people get bored with repetition. I'm not in the zones to entertain people or amuse them. I'm not there to thrill them with fantastic powers or make them gasp in awe. I'm there to kill them. Pure and simple. If they cannot find a way to counter that then that isn't my problem and doesn't stop my own entertainment.
