Im not sure how to take this, if its the state of the game's pvp or what. Let me start by saying Im a PvP noob (to this game anyway) so Im just about a free kill for anyone out there, on top of this Im a Arch/Dev blaster, so alot of my second set of skills is pointless in most cases.

Anyway I enter BB for the first time as Ive never been there before. Excited to see some pvp action i notice its very..quiet. Im the only one there. No biggie I'll just hop around for a while and get some time on the badge here. About 2 or so hours roll by and Im still killing Mobs in the area for my own amusement when i get a message about a new bounty in the area.

oooh! someone to go kill or be killed by! finally some action! No sooner had i thought that the guy zoned out. Oh..well thats dissapointing. Go back to random killing. Few minutes he's back, then zones..wtf? So this happens for the better part of half an hour or so when i get a whisper from a hero (I am also a hero).

Hero: hey
Me: hey
Hero; can you leave the area?
Me: Why? Im waiting on some pvp action here.
Hero: My mastermind needs to get a badge from here.
Me: so..get it?
Hero: no, you will kill me.
Me: thats kinda the point of the pvp zone isnt it?
Hero: Yes but I dont want to pvp
Me; so dont come in here?
Hero: I have to get that badge.
Me: so get it or dont, i dont care but Im still going to attempt to kill anyone who enters here.

Hero: Thats just rude.
Me: whats rude? Me pvping? ok wow..
Hero: Just dont Kill me when i come in. i just want the badge.
Me: Im telling you Im gonna shoot your MM in the face when i see him in here but go right ahead and try to get the badge. You may get lucky since I have no idea where its at.
Hero: So you wont kill me?
Me: you havent been listening to a thing Ive said have you?
Hero: yes
Me: so you know Im gonna shoot your MM full of holes with lots of sharp wooden sticks right?
Hero: why?!
Me: ITS A PVP ZONE! IE a WAR ZONE! Your MM is the enemy and i have arrows I wanna shoot at him with.
Hero: If you do Im reporting you for harassment
Me: go for it..

He never hid show but his MM kept poping his head in every now and then to see if I was still there. Either way this was my first 'PVP' argument Ive had and sadly Im primarily a PvE person who was just plain bored and poked my head in to see what all the fuss was about. Some one please tell me this isnt a normal thing..

Oh and what badge was he going for anyway??!

Well first of all, u said "Hero" when he was talking yet he was an MM. I'll assume that's a mistake.

This is an really old arguement. I let people who want badges free to pass, but in a situation where nobody else is there, i would kill him for sure. And if u didn't know, he cannot report you for killing him, lol. The Devs put badges in here to bring PvE people to a PvP zone. And to us PvPers, that's a free kill since they arn't in a pvp build.

Devices is far from useless. There are tricks and other things more obvious. Web grenade is awesome. Stops people from jumping or flying away. Caltrops protects from Assassin's Strike if your on them and also if u throw them at a MM's pets, they go crazy and start running in different directions instead of attacking you. Targeting drone increases your preception and acc. If you get Tactics from the leadership pool, targeting drone and slot a +precep IO in one of those 2, you will see stalkers. Noob ones far away and ones with max stealth only 10 feet away, but stil u can see them and shoot them before they see you. Aside from that, not much. Trip mine is "ok", there is currently a glitch where u set them up and they explode somewhere else on the map and kill villains.

Most people don't go to Bloody Bay. If you want PvP, Siren's call is the lowest level 'populated' pvp zone. It's 20+ and makes you level 30 inside. It's on the east wall of steel. If your new u want to look for a team, by simply typing /search it will show u all the unhidden Heroes in the zone. Ask to join the team of a grey name.

There are many badges u can get in bloody bay, but im going to guess he wanted to hunt and kill 200 shivans. You need to do that for some accolade. i believe it's High Pain Threshold which increases ur health by 10%.

Also Welcome to PvP. Lastly, if u get killed a lot, don't leave, try to improve and get revenge.

The hero part wasent a mistake, he logged onto a hero to talk to me, dont ask me why prehaps red side cant talk to blue side in pvp zones? donno, never tried or prehaps if he stayed on long enough with his MM he thought i would hunt him down?

Anyway I didnt plan on quitting, was just kinda taken aback that some one would get like that in a pvp zone. Oddly when i went to kill shivans I did that in one of my flashback missons =)

He might need the Swashbuckler history badge or one of the explores as well for Headline Stealer but yeah...asking someone not to attack you is painting a bull's eye on yourself...

It's a normal thing. Happens to me every so often. Try hunting in Warburg during the week before some big raid and get ready to screenshot the garbage hurled your way -- everything from incoherent blind rage to condescending lectures on your lack of integrity from people with farmed PvP rep badges.

I think you were in Sirens Call if you had bounty, but anyways I think you missed the boat on PvP in this game. It's pretty much dead atm and I can only hope Going Rogue will change it.
