Me, a Master of Run and Temp Powers

Before I start my little rant I just wanna put in some background info on the table.

You see me and a few friends of mine have been planning to do a Master of Tin Mage run for quite some time (That darned Midnight Dodger Doges At Midnight >.< were badge junkies by the way ). So we planned it in advance and each of us got what we needed to bring. So my friends added finishing touches to their IOs and powers, we each planned to bring a Shivan, Nuke and a HVAS.

So we were ready and we planned everything. So my turn came along to try and get myself a nuke. Because I'm all the way on the other side of the world my night time would mean most people in the USA are asleep. SO I decide it's a good time to get my nuke.

So I manage to get all three codes and I'm off for the last access to get my nuke. I then get killed by some person. I'm alright with that. I can always get another code. He/she proceeds to kill me another three times. SO I decide maybe some other time tomorrow to get my much wanted Nuke.

So I tried again today and to my surprise he/she did it again. I politely asked after the 5th time he/she stole my codes adn explained why I needed the nukes. Sure enough he/she let me but not after a looong conversation about PvP and how Castle ruined it blah blah blah.

So anyone here's my main topic I know there's a lot of other PvP Topics at the moment but I just wanna put my imput here. PvP is currently broken and I know that. So there are a few elite groups of PvPers who have the strongest overpowered builds that could murder my lowly toon a mile away. Whilst this does get annoying at times for me as I'm not really a PvPer I learn to live with it.

I'm just here to complain on the actions of some groups of PvPers. Recently other than my little nuke escapade I assembled a pretty large team of people seeking to take down the heroes in RV. Now I know bring attention brings the trolls and jerks but a group came and picked off the entire two teams.

I know a ton of other badgers like me suffer a lot when it comes down to seeking badges in pvp like Time machinist, Rocketman and sometimes even Gunner on some servers...

So what do you guys think the Devs should do? In my opinion they should offer an easier way of achieving these PvP badges (Not counting the whole defeat 200 heroes etc, just Rocketman and other PvE in PvP zone badges)

So this ends my little rant. I know everyone's divided on this issue by that's my two cents.

These are PvP badges for... you know.. PvP. You don't like to PvP then don't. I'm ok with PvPers hitting me if I venture in there, it's partly why I haven't bothered to date.

You can't use temp powers on a master run.

You can on the Tin Mage and Apex masters since the requirements are different

I've seen this complaint a few times. I'm not a PVPer. But hard as I try, I can't see your side of it. If the badge is for PVP, getting ganked is part of the deal. No two ways about it. Sorry.

Scoob, Gob, and the others are right. You don't have to like it, but them's the breaks. Entering a PvP zone means you are PvPing.

I go into PVP zones, I expect to see other players who may or may not attack me. If they do, even repeatedly, them's the breaks. I knew what I signed on for when I entered the zone. To claim that someone killing you repeatedly in a PVP zone is griefing is ridiculous. I get that people want them temps and maybe don't want to get splattered in the process, but it's still a PVP zone and other players killing you is part of the challenge.

When you enter a PvP zone, you are agreeing to subject yourself to PvP.

The little box that pops up? It says: "WARNING, YOU ARE ENTERING A PVP ZONE AND MAY BE ATTACKED BY OTHER PLAYERS"

When you click "OK" you are agreeing that yes, you are accepting that you can be attacked by other players.

There are only a few things that an opposing player can do to you that count as griefing. Of those, I can only think of 2: Teleporting you into a hole in the geometry that you cannot get out of, and teleporting opposing players into the hospital to attack people inside (as far as I know, the second is only possible in the villain hospital in Siren's Call, they may have fixed that by now)

Anything else someone does is fair game. You CANNOT say that someone is griefing you because they attacked you out in the open in a PvP zone. Not even if you are doing the zone event, since those zones are designed for players to fight over those very things. If those zones were not designed with fighting over them in mind, why is it possible to steal codes and meteor fragments?

Sorry, OP, but you're coming off very much as whining about it, since the people who attacked you were doing the very thing those zones were designed for.

If I'm trying to do one of my non-PVP things in a PVP zone, and a PVPer starts attacking me, I just stand there and let him finish me off. A quick trip to the hospital makes for a faster exit from the zone, and I can come back some other time when he's not there.
