If I had a dime for every time ...
but you know what? i wont recommend any of this.. my desk is full of dents, because the moment i face an elec/therm, psi/em or mind/fire, i get frustrated and try to break things... and that's me.. not a newb. |
If this isn't trowing hate I am not sure what is. Way to come into a good natured thread and rant, then wonder why people aren't responding well to you.
|
But seriously, this is the reason pvp has such a bad rep, is when they see people like Black Barrier post in the pvp forums. Right off the bat in page 1! this thread was no longer good natured. I've seen some of Soul Touch's other posts and I know why yall are hating on him, but seriously grow up and get over it. Yall should have let this go a long time ago.
To be fair, because im not just raggin on you con or black barier, you should have let it go to Dahjee.
It's idiotic of all of you to turn this thread into what it has become.
Grow up, so yall can kiss and make up
forum police weee ooooooh weee ooooooh
EDIT: oh and pvp actually has a bad rep because the majority of this game's players are tards and don't want to thiiiiiiiiink
"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."

Just saying Mac, I thought that most of the people who post on these forums would be grown up and act mentally and emotionally mature. Not a bunch of whiney cut throat children. I may not post a lot but I have always kept track and read the forums and I have a lot of respect for you, but I had hoped you could be one of the mature people on these forums.

We're not the ones backing someone who claims an flying TPing AR/Dev Blaster can be competitive (and then saying "oh but I don't actually play one of those"). No one here's been whining, no one here's been cut-throat except for maybe a few players who seem to have it out for each other (that happens, y'know). As far as I can tell, this thread has been Dahjee coming in and saying "PvP is bad because you are all closed-minded, and you should all play this way," when "this way" has been tried and doesn't work well, at all. Maturity only goes so far in dealing with stupid people. If you can't understand that I'm sorry. Quite honestly I don't care about your opinion of me, nor anyone else's, so if you're trying to make me feel bad by insulting me, you should probably find a better use of your time (like coming up with alternative strategies that might actually work instead of theorycrafting when everyone else with experience is telling you it's been tried and doesn't work).

For the most part what you just said in that post is true about how Dahjee has been acting in this thread, but your are wrong when you say "Maturity only goes so far when dealing with stupid people." if they are "stupid" as you put it than you should know they are not going to change their opinions no matter how many times you yell and try to force it down there throats(I'm not saying that you yourself did that Mac but their are people here who seem to think that this will work) and that the best thing to do is to just, point out where they are wrong, and leave it at that. If you are afraid that the same person will keep posting wrong information for new pvpers who come into the forums looking for help, then you simply post links to where they were wrong b4 kindly guide the new comer and leave it at that. Yes, I know I can't believe it's that simple either.
As for me trying to make you feel bad by insulting you, I sincerely hope that is not how I came off as I am not trying to insult anyone in this thread. If I did I apologize, but to "find a better use of your time" as you put it, I'm trying to show everyone in this thread how ridiculous they are acting, in the vain hope that they can see it and maybe grow up a little.
if you've seen dahjee play, you know he's not good and shouldn't be talking.
I blame barrier for I13.
Tbh the only people I respect on this section of the forums is Con, macskull Rent and supermax as they're about the only 4 people who give genuine advice without shooting people down, or come on here with their OP ego smacktalking empty talk.
smeglolhead and barrier are just pethatic excuses for people who claim to help the pvp community, and I can't make a single post anymore without barrier putting me on autofollow and attempting to destroy my every post. It's sad.
Go on I dare one of you to ask either of them exactly what it is they have in for me? Their most likely answer? "you're annoying" i've heard it before, ask them why? especially barrier, he wont have a reply.

Oh and on topic
If I had a dime for every time Milan and Poned transferred characters to Justice and got beat, I'd have one dime.
"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."
There is always the ignore button you know, though Barrier is generally funny and intelligent in-game.

For the most part what you just said in that post is true about how Dahjee has been acting in this thread,

I actually said very early in my posts:
Don't take it personal Con.
I offer you much respect... as I do anyone else here. |
Mac you're 5 star in my book. Made a note months ago when on Freedom, so no you weren't hidden from me. I've never dissed your PvP skills. Also I'd never ever treat a player differently In-Game because of differences of opinons here. In-Game is a different slate... and again I have no problem with how and what you play. We just disagree a lot here. Perhaps I expect too much from the people that seem to know and frequent the PvP forums the most.
|
I've PvP'ed with just about all of you. I've checked the forums before logging in for just about as long as I've been registered. I can learn from and respect anyone here, and I have been doing so for some time. That's just me. I've learned from much of what I read here, and I can in fact appreciate the work of those you mention (including yourself) have put into reaching out and posting to those wanting to improve their skills in PvP. Please don't get that twisted.

"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.
backing someone who claims an flying TPing AR/Dev Blaster can be competitive (and then saying "oh but I don't actually play one of those").

1 TP'er in an arena match with the rest including teammates having ss/sj is quite silly. I wish you'd think bigger than that. 8 TP/flyers vs 8 SS/SJ'ers... given even skill SS/SJ would get out maneuvered all day long.
Lastly. I don't arena much so it's almost pointless to make references to what I say and how it applies itself in the little controlled box you call PvP. |
EDIT: Oh and lol @ thinking an 8-man fly/TP team will win an arena match against an 8-man SS/SJ team. Sure they might be outmaneuvered,
|
My other and overall point however... was again the same as yours CryoTech... which is that is that the attitude here in the PvP forums is too cliquish (*close minded* hurt too many feelings) atm to offer respect to those with a different view. If you consider that and the fact that people got so mad with me about stuff that's actually agreed on... you can see why this thread has been so fun for me.
I can only imagine two things I am supposed to believe if I am indeed wrong: Either they want me to believe that there are simply no new ideas in PvP atm... (even though the one's that know it all are also often the ones that express how un-fun PvP is atm) or they want me to accept that only certain people are allowed to introduce them here on the boards.
I entered a joke thread and I happened to call out the PvP Forum crew... label them... generalize them as all the same... and put them in a class of "bad" to watch them rage. Why? I enjoy PvP for one... and second, because education happens when you create an envirioment to learn... not when you simply expect people to listen. (think about it)
I'm still waiting on valid questions to be answered.
"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.
Just stop.
I find it odd that you share the same overall point, yet you can agree with one who will likely insult you 2 pages from now and justify by trying to convince you that you've entered the thread with hate and no creditablity as well. Good luck though.

Now I know they can't possibly know all the Ins, Outs, Odds, and Ends of any build that comes to this part of the forums when they tell them to reroll, but again they are telling the person to reroll beacuse
1. It's already been done
2. To save you the waisted time on trying it yourself when their is probably a less than 5% chance you will find something they havent that makes the build a new FotM.
If one happens to get past the emotions of it all, then it becomes a matter of getting the most good drops as possible while zoning no? and when that mighty DPS is evaded by most decent players by Hib, Phase, lol TPing to a rooftop to laugh at you hop and waste buffs, (sorry I know I'm biased at this point heh) running to and hiding in base, or simply calling four of their friends to put you on the defensive...most log, ask for duel or arena match, some rage etc... nevermind I guess.
Perhaps months from now when folks maybe decide it's ok to bring AoE attack powers back into zone builds I'll believe it's all be done. Teleport spiking + Nukes + Heat Loss and all during an Assemble the Team promt 8 sec delay = oh so That's how you get more drops?! AoEs... who'd a thunk it. If there are threads talking about 5 versus 15 odds and which AoE CC + Attack combos are the best to wipe out the most the fastest I must of missed them. Wormhole/Blizzard/Blizzard/Glue Arrow/Rain of Arrows Perhaps? probably not. I'm not a numbers guy though. I'm sure it's just like PvE where its efficient to pew pew one target at a time... wait. The good news is that AoE CC/Distruption has ben discovered after a year of being a joke... and magically without any significant changes to the game, wow.

This is the part where I go all the way back to the beginning and requote my self stating that listing and/or simply discussing the greatest streghths, weaknesses and synergies of a set can often be more edcuational than telling someone to reroll their level 50, and use something like AR/Ice as an example... That friend, would bring my role in this thread full circle. lol
If someone wants advice on his/her AR/Ice blaster... they should be told and/or coached on the sets greatest streghths and weaknesses IMO. That's probably what they want. For example... the fact that AR/ is the only set that leaves no trail so it it makes for a terrific range boosted/snipe/scourge/spike/kite/stealth teams...
