To Insp or not to Insp in a PVP zone?

Today In sirens I was playing around on my lil dom and I was fighting two heroes, one was a Warshade and the other was a spine/dark scrapper. so, I kills the Warshade and I'm down to half my life and now I’m one on one with the Scrapper. He gets me down to a smidgen of my life bar, so I pops two greens and I'm right back up to near full life and carry on fighting.

Next thing the scrapper pops phase and says 'lol weak. You're weak' and I'm like wtf? So the convo goes like this:

Me: If I'm weak why did you pop phase'
Scrapper: Because you popped
Me: Too right I popped, I was about to die
Scrapper: Because you're weak.
Me: What? I'm supposed to stand there and let you kill me?
Scrapper: You had to pop because you’re weak, why bother coming into a pvp zone if you're just going to pop like that?
Me: lol you have to be joking right? I wasn't the one that phased on a scrapper to a weak dom.
Scrapper: If you’re good, you wouldn't need to pop!
Me: I was fighting two of you on my own lol

Anyway, he continued to moan about me popping two greens and calling me weak.

For all my time I have played in Sirens, I have never recalled any such rules about popping a couple of greens and I have never had a dev sending me a warning that it is against the PVP rules.

So... is using inps in a pvp zone totally acceptable?

Totally acceptable.

edit<> just to add this is the joke toons that run around sirens? a warshade and a dark scrapper, that is rich

This completely depends on whar your "klub" affiliation is, lol.

Rules for PvP zones (not counting real exploits such as geometry bugs, going under the map, etc.):

Use it if you've got it. Heck, use Tier 3s if you have those.

Zones are a FFA, there aren't any set rules outside of not abusing geometry exploits.

I think people for the most part think negatively about popping inspirations. It also comes down to how you pop inspirations too, for instance if you're chasing someone trying to finish the kill, and hear that toon popping off like bubble wrap, you're going to get laughed at more than likely. On the other hand, if a tank gets hit with Heat Exhaustion, I don't think people are gonna make comments about why you popped a blue.

If you need an inspiration every now and then, no one will care, but if you rely on them to avoid dying every time you get into trouble, go respec and buy some IO's.

There is certainly no rules pertaining to popping inspirations, if there was, then you wouldn't even have the option to use them in that zone.

"Free Fire Zone" means that you're "free" to "fire" off as many insps as you want

Why argue? If they think popping is for nubs let them think that. Just tell them to keep being 1337 by not popping (and getting rekd) while you stay bad using insp (and farm them).

I now give you the only pvp rule in this game for zone pvp.


prepare to be attacked by other players.

that is all.

Yeah, that noob keeps popping inspirations. Totally weak sauce. I would never do that.

<heads back from hospital and shakes fist, he'll not kill me this time>

I think the best way to look at it is to comapre the situation with PvE. I mean, would you really give props to the blaster that just popped 6 reds and purples to solo a single EB... nah not really. Smart thing to do perhaps when the **** hits the fan, but it's not like you'd think the toon was good or anything for having to do so.

There is "effective use" of insp, and there is also "excessive use" if insp.

I see less wrong in a player that zones, kills things in the zone and uses the insp gained from doing so to stay alive and kill others. I sometimes frown however at those who will leave a zone repeatedly to fill their tray and actively engage in zone PvP only when that tray is full.

Theres basically two types of Insp users: Those that carry inspirations to counter effects, and those one carry insp to increase effects. The first group is fine, acceptable, and often smarter than the other group. The other group is fine also, but can often (but not always) include really bad players that assume skill due to their efficient use of insp dispensers.

[Edit:] Oh I forgot about a third group... those that will stay in a zone and never leave to get insp... and never take advantage of all the npcs around the that will drop them. These peeps will fight with real honor and will gladly be farmed over and over again, as longs as it means they did so with honor and by following the code of tru warrir.

That's me, I am too lazy to leave zone for insps, and as a stalker I dont like comming out of hide to get ganked by 3 blasters, 2 defenders, 4 scrappers and a tank, all because I wanted to get an insp drop....lol however I still manage about a 10/1 K/D ratio.. so meh....

when i cba i go pick them up. i usuall get frustrated using them though since they trigger ts

lol, if you're gonna try and hate me... do a better job of disagreeing with me. Cause I think you just basically repeated what I said.

Did you even read your own post? You know, the one where you compare popping insp in PvE to popping in PvP (lulz). No? Its the one where you suggest we PvE in a PvP zone for insp. You said that people can use insp excessively like it even mattered. I'm pointing out that it doesn't since the insp nerf.

How about next time you try and do a better job at sounding like you know what you're talking about. Either that or try sounding less like a nub.
