I think it was the unresisted damage that I was thinking about. A few months back (but after the patch you mention) dark was banned from certain TF competitions because of this iirc. Thats why when I heard about a dark patch, and then saw the date I was confused.

I cant seem to find anything regarding these nerfs ie, when and patch notes???? Just curious as I have a dark/ice defender and elec/ss tanker.

This please. Such a great idea allowing nerfs to be targeted towards the players that want them. Also allowing the community to see how popular said nerfs would be in the wild (meaning how many people are using them). Id also recommend making them very expensive since some of the same players calling for nerfs seem really concerned with infamy sinks. Kill two birds with one stone!

The first thing i did on return. Went to grandville and watched recluse give his motivational speech on the overhead. Stupid heroes will never understand this great mans vision.

Im worried about myself. Damnit i wanna read it to! And thanks to the gm's. Such a thankless job. Much respect! I hope you know how much the vast majority of the community respects you! And fyi this is about the only time vast majority is accurately used on these here forums.

Thats interesting that it so clearly outperforms but i dont see many in the wild. What are the number of tw 50s. Maybe it needs less a nerf and moar fun? Maybe momentum isnt fun? Ive never played it so ymmv. But something is strange when a game of min/maxers dont play it...

In pocket D i overhead someone say "im gonna do to you what limp bizkit did to music in the 90s" Also the random pick up lines and put downs are pretty pretty good.

Really neat idea. Nice way to give vill side some love.

I agree.

Ive often wondered why a voice chat software didnt take advantage of this. Let me make my voice sound like a dwarf or elf. Id be more likely to rp on voice if it didnt sound like me. Im quiet till ya get to know me. Then you cant shut me up.

For some reason i just wont do test. Ill spend days on mids and accumulating io's. But the idea of playing on test server. No experience, no infamy, no rewards. I cant do it (to my detriment id guess).

Im not a serious RPer or PvPer. But it was the idea of villains versus heroes. I would talk in broadcast (what i felt a villain would say, not FU LRN2PLAY). Villains got screwed over in early PvP (at least zones). We couldnt be 50, we didnt have Hami's only SOs, alot of little things just were harder on villain side. So of course I took to it. Grouped with a bunch of like minded players (and made some life long friends). And because of the size and quality of our VG we held our own often against those silly misguided heroes. We were the plucky underdogs (not alot of dedicated PvPers but enough, and we all knew our builds). So in my mind RP and PvP go well together. And for that matter good PvErs in a group (and in voice together) can hold up well against unorganized zoners (and occasionally organized pro's). As for my original intent in posting as OP. Among other things I just wanted each side to see more what the other was thinking. I hope some of those /b aholes might think twice before alienating a potential #PvPer4Life. And maybe some of those anti pvpers might see sometimes the smack is just jokes. Sometimes Im just messing with ya/role playing the villain.

This was kind of why I posted the thread. I thought I new the answers (and was right about some) but am happy to see the variety of comments and participation in general. Thanks again all! I wonder if PvP in say bloody bay might resolve some of this? Or sirens? I mean youd still have some specialized builds but the cost of IOs for a bloody bay build would be smaller wouldnt it? Also might mix up the ATs and combos that are viable? I also remember some low level arena matches as well. But its been ages.

Im really sorry it went that way. Next time, even without voice, I bet you could get a team to support you. Post in forums or hit me up in game (ill switch servers etc). Ill happily come and farm you repeatedly without the added toxic chat. Sorry I said that out loud. I meant Id happily come team with you and get some others to help fight back. Forum name @rageusquitus, 2, 3 and 4 in game.

I do the same, although the mezz RESISTANCE temp powers seem a waste. Reduces mez a fraction of a second if my calculations are correct? I tend to focus on recharge and recovery. Sometimes some damage resistance of the type common in the TF im running.

Ive certainly taken part in challenging PvE content. Timed TFs and other missions for example, and again PvP. I get the content alone isnt a challenge out the box but that doesnt mean the players dont find ways to make it interesting. No inspiration, no bonus Ouro missions. They may not be the norm but eventually people want to test their builds or skills. I do however get the point you are trying to make, and think you have some strength to your argument.

Not sure I agree with this part of your post. Just because a player likes this sometimes, doesnt mean they dont look for a challenge at others. PvP is going to be more difficult. Even playing drunk, half asleep and distracted by real life (ie 99% of the time) Im still more challenging than any PvE content in the game (I really hope thats a true statement).

I had forgotten those missions are only available to specific level range. That certainly stinks, as it plays a part in winning sirens call. Here I carry on and on in posts across these forums about street sweeping and zone play... And totally miss that great point. Basically you outlevel the contact.

I hope this turns out to be true. Could be done for a number of pve foes to be honest. Eventually leading to this game being called City of MMs.

Im pretty sure my brain is broken cause of chemistry. I guess thats why on my more patient days I try and give people the benefit of the doubt. And again I bet if I played with any of these peeps in game we would have a fine time (provided they played MY WAY DAMNIT!). And I love people watching (and Ive been reading this thread so guilty). Get a second floor balcony table off bourbon street, its the absolute best Ive ever seen.

Only if you pay attention to silly forum arguments (ive done it to shamefully). I bet if everyone of the recall argument posters found there way onto a tf together.. it would go smooth. Even if some had "questionable" power choices. Reason is we all know the game well enough, and we all love the same game. Remember we all have bad days or run out of coffee, or step in dog piss cause we didnt let the little monster outside fast enough.

And its not. Getting to 50 is easy. Funding a build is a pretty big investment to me.

Yeah thats more inline with my experiences. Meaning 30+ hours invested farming, crafting and ae marketing to io out a build. Then of course i might want a pve build as well...

Even with a maxed out fire farmer, i dont find it trivial. It takes alot of time doing something i dont really enjoy to get to the fun part. 8 mill per run, 5 minutes per run. A good build runs you 1 billion easy. And so repetitive. Ok so play the market/ponzi scheme. Again i dont find that or crafting fun. When do i get to play? Or expirement?

Whats stopping events based around those objectives? Yall host arena events all the time, why not some zone to mix it up? Hell sirens even keeps score.
