Go ahead take PvP seriously and do your best to win every encounter but stop being spoil sports. The PvP population is slim enough and we can’t afford to lose anymore potential or current players.

Is it really that difficult to have fun and be competitive?

Win or lose, is it impossible for some of you to be positive and encouraging as well?

Stop being “baddos” and start helping to rebuild the PvP community.


The “why I brought this up” story...
(Names have been changed)

Leveling up fun...
[Team] Mr. Sticky: could you invite BADDO?
[Team] BADDO: woot 40 Sos
[Team] BADDO: 37
[Team] BADDO: brt getting new ench.

Arena fun among friends (I’m watching)...
In the red corner...
Mr. Sticky (40) Brute... Some basic PvP experience and pretty cool guy.
BADDO (37) Corr.... Arena PvPer and Mr. Sticky’s friend.

VS.

In the blue corner... My friends that have been playing for 2 weeks since Issue umm 3 and no PvP experience, but will bring the hardcore pwnage someday.
Six Slot (40) MM... Pre ED minded and has endurance six slotted currently.
Wormhole! (32) Dom... Has achieved level 32 through the use of Hover, Fly and Wormhole!

This was the result as expected... “lol yea way to farm a none slotted toon” You will understand this quote soon.
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
Mr. Sticky has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
Mr. Sticky has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!

Poor Wormhole!. Six Slot died a couple of times too.

OK Wormhole! is out and I get on my Uberl33tflyingpff (41) Dom with 40 SOs and Karma KB pro...
*Mind you we were all having fun just goofing around up to this point.

In the red corner...
Mr. Sticky (40) Brute
BADDO (37) Corr

VS.

In the blue corner...
Uberl33tflyingpff (41) Dom... Ub3rl33tfz0nePvPm4st3rL0L
Six Slot (40) MM

OMG Tactics! Six Slot and I make a plan... Ignore and run from the Mr. Sticky. Kill BADDO. Six Slot keep me healed.

You have defeated BADDO
You have defeated BADDO
Six Slot has defeated BADDO
Six Slot has defeated BADDO

BADDO: lol next match i got you son

You have defeated BADDO

BADDO quits match early leaving Mr. Sticky all alone and jumped on his Blaster.

After the friendly goof off match I say to BADDO...
-->BADDO’S BLASTER: nj

I get a reply...
BADDO’S BLASTER: lol yea way to farm a none slotted toon

Then I think to myself this statement from earlier...
[Team] BADDO: 40 Sos
[Team] BADDO:37
[Team] BADDO: brt getting new ench.

And this (See the thing is right now both Six Slot and Wormhole! do not have a clue about PvP or most of this game, their power choices and slotting are all over the place, and the worst part is that both Mr. Sticky and BADDO know all of this because Six Slot and Wormhole! have these 2 alts in Mr. Sticky’s and BADDO’S VG LOL)...

BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
Mr. Sticky has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
Mr. Sticky has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!

Poor Wormhole!.

Then I say...
-->BADDO’S BLASTER: eh its all in good fun but corrs are better than brutes to kill

New match starts...
In the red corner...
BADDO’S BLASTER
Mr. Sticky

VS.

In the blue corner...
Uberl33tflyingpff (41) Dom
Six Slot

Match starts and I get crushed in a couple of hits. Then I noticed something.

[Local] Uberl33tflyingpff: BADDO lol is on his 50

Match ends and I switch to my other Uberl33tflyingpff (50) Dom for ships and giggles...

We were all going to run again together and Mr. Sticky sets it up but then...
[Arena] [Mr. Sticky]: lets just watch
[Arena] [Mr. Sticky]: dont attack us and we wont attack you

OK let’s get it on like the true warrior I am LOL.

New new match starts...
In the red corner...
BADDO’S BLASTER (50) Blaster

VS.

In the blue corner...
Uberl33tflyingpff (50) Dom

Match up of the century!

Congratulations you earned the Placated Badge! This is a really cool thing and I will start taking advantage of it myself.

I can’t forget to mention the amazing reward for this difficult task!
You gain 609 infamy.

The finale...
-->BADDO’S BLASTER: alright gj next time ill bring another toon and we can have fun

BADDO’S BLASTER: alrighty let me know

-->BADDO’S BLASTER: sounds good have fun


Moral of the story...
Being a baddo does nothing except add more negativity that players have towards PvP, makes you look stupid and does not help to encourage more people to participate which untimately hurts you in the long run. Less players = less fun PvP.


Side note...
Thank you to whomever approved of this PvP system that has driven away players and created even greater disparities and balance issues within and outside of all archetypes.

PvP is bad because the Developers and some players have treated it bad. If the Developers reinvest and more players cut back on the "baddo" you will eventually see a healthier population.

i agreed with the first 3 sentences then you completely lost me.

First 3 sentences: stop being dicks about pvp and give pvp a positive image

Other crap: some pvp match vs a OP psi blaster?

I'm confused. In the first match, why wouldn't you go for the Dom? A MM sitting in BG mode or a Dom with no escape. (Phase, PFF, Hibernate). You even said they killed the MM a few times too. So it wasn't like they ignored him the entire match. That just sounds like smart playing.

Second match, he was on a 37, you were on a 41. He lost and got a higher level toon. (Considering he was at a disadvantage to both you and the MM) You keep saying it was "Good fun/goofing around" but completely ignored the brute and gunned for him. I think you mentioned in the first match the two of them killed both the MM and the Dom. I'd switch to a better toon too if that was the case. Yeah mid match kind of sucks but that is about the only thing you could fault him for.

Next time when you are a lower level. 41 versus 50, you lose but its not in good fun because this time he has a higher level char than you.

So you get a level 50 to match his level 50. And lose. But its the builds fault. The guy ends it on what I see as a positive note. "Sounds good have fun" Seriously? You're complaining about what again?

You won some and lost some. When you won it was in good fun and because you had great tactics, but every down note it was something else's fault other than your own. Levels, Slotting, Builds, etc etc. I believe you sir may just be the baddo.

Of course you would go for the Dom just like we went for the Corruptor, it's just ironic. The difference is that BADDO had a tude, quit out of the match and brought in his arena ranked IOed out 50 to fight an SOed 40 and his noob friend because he was upset instead of saying gf or nj and continuing on and having fun with friends in a casual match like we did prior to him losing.

The teams were pretty damn even considering all the factors and yeah I lost the 1v1 no biggie.

Was good fun until people have poor attitudes.

He ended on a positive because... I was being positive the entire time. Jedi mind tricks there.

Yes you win and lose but being a baddo among friends, VG mates and future PvP teammates just because you lost is stupid and sends out a poor message.

It's unfortunate if you think that I'm the baddo. I leveled these guys, had some fun matches, won/lost and was cool about it all and no QQ quit outs. It's just unfortunate because it would have been cool to have all 5 of us make a good team and PvP more but one bad attitude can wreck it.

ok another fact list:
1. baddo is a measure of skill, not attitude, stop misusing the term, noub.
2. if someone's attitude is actually affecting how much fun you have in this game, maybe you should reconsider pvping in this game at all. this is a game, if you're actually getting emotional over anything that happens here, you should consider seeking professional help. say this outloud and see how it sounds: "i am angry because some dude i don't know typed something mean about how i play a video game (i play city of heroes, a small mmorpg, like World of Warcraft but about a tenth the size) and it showed up on my screen."

anyways check out those pvp games where inter-faction talk is not allowed, maybe you'll find your fit there.

2. You are usually right on the money when joking and serious but you missed the mark with this one big time.

Everyone has their own reason for being a d!ck in PvP. Recently, some dude was going on and on with the usual zone smack talk which I normally ignore. I got tired of his LOL macros on some 2-3V1 action, spoke up and why did I do that? He throws out the mandatory "ur a lamo" remark and he and his buddy commenced to tell me how much he'd wreck my face in arena (not exact words, but paraphrased and close enough). Since I was so bad, I could pick any toon and he'd fight me on his lv30ish piece of crap/piece of crap SOd whatever. I don't arena much except casually, but since I was currently playing a PvE toon and just throwing webnades, I must really be horrible...why not go for it? Switched toons like he told me, broke him off proper and then conveyed to him one of the the lessons learned should be "Don't talk so much and just enjoy the game". Well, smack talk continued for the rest of the night b/c he immediately got on his Blaster, he and his buddies called me scared while I exchanged with him and continued throwing webnades and watching Stalkers smash people up.

I know some people think it's their IRL job to piss everyone else off, but I'm sure like most of you, seems to be too much real world going on to get upset at a video game. It's your money, but...this:
"Is it really that difficult to have fun and be competitive?
Win or lose, is it impossible for some of you to be positive and encouraging as well?"

I guess it depends on maturity level and whether moms breast fed or bottle fed the kid.

Seriously, most non-pvpers i have spoken to say the main reason they do not pvp is due to trash talk...just have fun and stop running your damn mouths all day. Of course we all have our occasional scuffles but there are people that trash talk 100% of the time to 100% of the people. Give it up.

Considering it's a minority of PvPers who actually engage in regular trash-talk, someone has three options:

1. Put the worst offenders on ignore
2. Turn off enemy chat for the duration of their play period
3. Ignore the alternatives, and come whining on the forums

I would like to point this out:

Most non-pvpers play the game BECUASE it is PvE Centric, not PvP centric or even balanced with PvP in mind. Many PvE'rs, when asked, will say they don't pvp cuz of "trash talk". In actuality the truth is that many simply just don't want to PvP. Period. They use trash talk as an excuse.

Honestly, that false perception proves to be something that greatly annoys me often.

The bad thing is enemy chat's default setting is set to off. So that means they are willingly subjecting themselves to said trash talk for reasons unknown. I used to say this so much I just got tired of it. Sadly it's a really big misconception that will most likely stay.
