at the same time, i don't mind showing up every once in a while to pvp stuff. I've even tried to make a pvp toon (mental/sonic blaster), but lvling him became annoying. Stuff that's really good at single target takes a long time to solo up to 50. my poor little blackbird is still lvl14.
anyone that goes into anything pvp with a pve build is going to get wrecked, plain and simple. and yea leveling a pvp toon is horrible, which is why most pvpers get them PLed up although that is dead now too but i digress.

but you don't need a specific build to do amazing in arena/zone. yea psi and sonic are the best bets but fire and archery can work as well.

my point is that since i13 took basically all skill out of pvp, so long as you know the rules and build for them, pretty much anything can pvp ok. yea some stuff does it better than others, but nothing that you'll find on triumph anyway. some of the good things about being a phailpvp server is that we haven't had to deal with smack talking in a while and its not hardcore at all. i mean anything short of warshades and some defenders, built correctly, it doesn't matter what you pvp with(on triumph).


Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.

... just happens to be a bit contradictory. Unless you define "amazing" as lasting more than ten seconds before some hypercaffeinated fifteen year old on crack wipes you out in three hits.

There's a difference between needing a specific build, and just going in with a pve build :P

Triumph is dead enough that you don't need a fotm 20bil inf toon to pvp with. Can pretty much pvp with anything here, as long as you actually slot it like a pvp toon. Hell I've even been "pvping" with my pve fire/kin trollah.

fair enough, i misused the word build. In the first one I meant anyone going to pvp with a pve build is going to get owned. in the second i meant that you power selection and AT doesn't really matter so long as you build for pvp. as tam said, being triumph, you aren't going to need a 20 bil inf psy/em to do well in pvp, no one is gonna have that hardcore of a build and use it on triumph(well atleast now anyway)

Doesn't feel that way to me with some of my toons at all.

I haven't tried since the free server transfers but don't really see things having improved for some of us at all.
