Wtb rp

We still miss you, DW.

I've only been around for a few weeks, but I have to agree with some here that, from the few times I've been there, Pocket D really isn't my kinda thing either.. Well, depends on the character, too I suppose. A nightclub setting would obviously suit some characters more than others.

It would be nice to see other hotspots get formed though, for people who don't want the catgirl/succubus/sex robot type rp or blatantly silly joke-rp, or what have you (I am NOT saying that that's the only RP that happens there, just that it does happen a lot, and it can kind of mess up the immersion level for some people unless you're highly skilled in in ignoring stuff, which not everyone is).. You could just find an SG and RP in your base or whatnot, but then it seems like you're missing out on other RPers or RP groups who may have a similar taste in roleplay that you do, but just happen to be in different groups/bases.

So if there are people who think it'd be a good idea to set up more focused rp hotspots for red and blueside (which there seems to be), I know I'd be willing to give it a shot as well. And if it doesn't work out, well, nothing's been lost. And you can still go to the D whenever, though it would be good to have a few more options.

Just my nubbish opinion anyway.

If you tolerate the occasional moron who tries to cut you down for roleplaying, I highly reocommend talking in character randomly from time to time. If you are in front of an NPC, say something to them in character - or have your character mutter to themselves or comment their surroundings, or have them acknowledge the mission out loud when they are picking up a new mission.

It doesn't always work, but so often it does. It tends to bring RP out of the woodwork, even if it just a few sentences worth before they go off and destroy another evil plot.

Also I test about every PUG I stumble into for RP, and if I see character descriptions on any of the team members, I start roleplaying immediately. I always wait for "down times" to RP. Usually when someone goes AFK, or the party is reassembling (picking up new members, or deciding next mission) is the perfect time.

Anyway, it works for me, so I thought I pass the advice along.

Bad place to gather for RP: in plain view in a PvP zone.

A bit of advice for the Supremes: turn on 'hide from searches' before zoning in. PvPers do frequent searches in order to find fleeting pockets of PvP activity across 3-4 different zones. If I see more than three people in Warburg in a search, I drop whatever I'm doing and head straight there. Other PvPers likely do the same.

PvP seems kinda dead if three people in a single zone stirs up a whole hive of people looking for something to do.

To use an ancient expression, many have forgotten through the sands of time, I say this about Gila's quote:

This wins. It is full of win. It wins like a ****.

PVP in COH is like whiskey at a child's birthday party.

Half the wasps unsubscribed to go play butterflies online after the queen put in the new stinger mechanics patch... though i can't blame them, travel suppression is one thing, BUT I WANT MY REGEN BACK

Man, I miss when PvP zones WERE places for RP. Those were the days man. I mean, for us PvPers/Rpers. EPIC battles, awesome stories.

Except the one where I was rping with someone and they kept trying to get me to scheck their character....that was a bit odd...even more so since that person was under 18 and creeping me the hell out.

Although, when I was getting "griefed" by a pissed off Rper that was pretty funny cause he'd fall for it everytime. I'd have my team with me, I'd bait, he'd come attack me, couldn't hit me (huzzah Ninjitsu Stalker!) and then my team would come in and obliterate him. <_< Hahahahahah GG.

Defense is nerfed in PvP now, Sorah. In fact, PvP after the i13 "fix" plays absolutely nothing like regular PvE content. You litereally have to learn whole new strategies, relearn all your powers, and completely rethink your style of play.

It is, perhaps, the biggest error I've seen Paragon Studios make. i13 was a flat out moronic move to make PvP more "popular" by completely rewriting the game.

I'm not sure I'm going to be going along with any more RP/PvP events.

Ahh for the days of Gemini Park RP (which is sadly no longer)

Your best bet is to start your search in the D. It can be difficult but it will at least let you locate the other RPers in the game. Once you strike up a few conversations with them you can break off and seek further RP with them/their SG.

PuGs are a crap shoot for RP. If you just go with it and be IC during the Pug you'll sometimes get surprisingly positive responses. Just make sure the RP doesn't slow down the mission so the non-RPers don't start to sour the exchange.

Going Rogue will hopefully offer some new, alternative, locations to the D to RP for both reds and blues.

So its usually a crowd of a whole 2-4 depending on who I can drag along, but Wednesday nights(eastern time) in Gemini Park in Galaxy City, next to the overpass by the gate to Perez, Sunday nights at the hot dog in Port Oakes on the north shore, straight north of the Mercy ferry. Attempting to get some random RP happening

I still feel, that this game was never really a good PvP game, and that good PvP/RP blend is usually just resolution to story/antagonism generated before hand. Then again, who died and made me the judge of what is and what is not great about this game? My point of view of what works and does not work, is no more relevant or accurate than the next person's. It comes down to personal taste really.

I would like to offer up, that I am available to anyone that needs a little roleplay. I rarely (if ever) join groups for long, and I rarely get involved in really deep RP, but if you are online and just want to talk in-character and see where it leads, my global is @Ravyna. I am almost always up for random RP.

I am very much a PG-13 roleplayer though. I know that is really unpopular in Virtue (where everyone and his dog is MRP), so I'll tend to keep things campy and cheesy. My comic appetite was established late 70's, early 80's - and I tend to roleplay in that general style. This is evident in the names I choose, and the characters I play. Think Marv Wolfman as my head writer - and I always envision George Perez as the one drawing me.

What makes Supreme Society great, is they can adapt to just about any flavor you throw at them. I look at the high-camp of the Count, but then I can see the deeply disturbing story of Red in the same group, with sometimes both stories/characters operating on the same thread.

It's good stuff.

To the original poster and others reading this who feel the same way: it would be tragic if a roleplayer was starving for RP and couldn't find any on this server. Because, the RP that does exists here is pretty damn cool. I am a scattered, casual player, so I can't offer long term places/times to RP. What I can offer is, if you see @Ravyna online and would like an RP encounter, shoot me a tell. Unless I am already occupied with another group, I'll gladly do what I can to get some RP going for you.

I am very busy tonight, but any other night this week will probably work.

One hope I have is if the DCU mass-migration (and it just might), that we designate one of the servers as "new Virtue", so I can bump into some of the creative minds here one more time.

Oh yours, that "Cthulu" themed story arc of yours.

My Red is just me listening to "Holiday in the Sun" one day, and deciding to make a character out of it. My Red hasn't actively roleplayed in over two years, and sticks super-glue into his mohawk to keep it straight. He's a lark, a big brute with smelly armpits and a sleeveless leather jacket.
