I think the simple reason there is no meeting in the middle to this debate is that you are making points to people who do not pvp just for the fun of it. Its not all about drops. Its not about that situational build that "can" work under certain circumstances. Its about winning. That is all any competition is about. |
There are different ways of doing the same thing. Min/Maxing or optimizing for 10-20 min matches may lead some to a very narrow choice of options considering power pools and power picks for no reason it seems. When you consider that in arena you get a shiny scoreboard saying "Im a Winner," and in Zone yo attain lolReP... it really boils down to drops/rewards, ya know for min/maxing purposes. Zone has both players and npcs to get drops from, and I don't have go anywhere or set up anything so it wins. YMMV 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. |
In a storybook world people compete in sports to have fun and show good sportsmanship. That is not realistic because most people that have that personality don't make it to the big leagues. You are debating with mainly people in the big leagues. Friendly competition is not what its about. There is no little league team here.
If you have cancer. Sure there are alternative medicines that have been proven to work with "some" patients. However if you want to give getting cured the best possible shot you can you will go to the specialist who has proven over and over again that its method is going to give you the best chance of survival.
Sure tp/hover will work in pvp. Just like any powerset will. However its situational. As soon as a really experienced team walks in the zone that person tp/hovering is cannon fodder. Sure its fun to try and do. However you stand a bigger chance of loosing than winning. Definition of loosing is you die as much or more than you kill. So if you die 9 times and only get 8 kills you lost. In fairytale land as long as you had fun doing it you won.
My first pvp toon ever was an ngy/ngy blaster with fly and superspeed. I used to have this tactic of flying way up in the sky and hitting boost range , buildup etc and then sniping someone. I would hit follow, turn off fly and bonesmash them before they knew what hit them. Was hella fun to do. I got kills, lots of them. I also died ALOT. As soon as I got a few kills the good pvpr's would adapt and use tactics to end my fun. Then I would switch to a more viable pvp toon. The fact that I had fun didn't change the fact that I lost.
to much spare time.

You should go reread some of your previous posts before barrier broke your ego down and see how you conducted yourself. After that think about how you act in AC and in zone and all the trash talking you do. That should pretty much answer your questions as far as I go.|

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. |
You can dish it but you can't seem to take it huh?

I think Silit role plays that he has a short man complex.

Okay first of all the first real conflict me and Barrier had was on the fire/regen thread when his whole approach to 'helping' santorican was poor, he took it so damn personally and since then he had it in for me, shortly after I asked for help for a elec/therm build, that thread got completely thrashed and since then barrier has been a complete dick to me zone/ac and on forums. I don't care how much you claim I trash talk on AC and in zones, because I know its not true, so save it. It's easy to say stuff without very much proof, if you think I wasn't conducting myself in an inappropriate way, BEFORE barrier started his little grudge against me, please do show me with quotes.|

And as for you, you're just completely retarded, it's past the joke. I don't think i've ever once said anything to you ingame or on the forums to crush your e-peen so hard to the point that your tongue is stapled to barriers **** and the minute he comments on something I say... woah woah woah guess who comments afterwards? YOU.
Go do one.
@Psycho Jas
I agree with Silit

Ok this thread has gone beyond pointless. Yes goofy builds can win, but they aren't optimal against people with a clue. Next.
Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit

BB gives good PvP info/advice, just be prepared for a healthy serving of "dickness" to accompany it sometimes. The point is, he enjoys it so why even argue with him? Awhile back I made a comment to someone, who I thought was being snarky and non-helpful and then people I never talked to before came out to forum jump me. As the famous poets, Run DMC once said, "Its like that and thats the way it is".|
