Is this an attempt to bully someone to try and suppress their posting or were you appointed the forum police? Regarding the pvp timeline pattern: One could suggest this thread might be following that same pattern. As far as contributing "a single constructive in this entire thread" I'd point you to: Sure some may trigger on one or two terms which illustrates it's own point. Listening after all can be a challenge. That @macskullgets bored by lower level pvp is irrelevant, this was about how to get folks to try PVP. Listening might be important to that end.

'Princess' may be gender neutral in this case..

Ahhh, classic pvp "Let's get people involved!" a little bit later "Oh, ignore the a-holes. we're not all like that.." a little bit later "Hey, where did everyone go?"

I liked that you went pure mace, the redraws are terribly annoying on soldiers. These do make decent Stalker/Tanks on paper. Capped positional defenses and/or capped resists or high regeneration are not terribly difficult to achieve. In practice, Banes are susceptible to debuffs and feel more like a strong mastermind-ish with up to 6? pets available. Incarnates can help.

'Results' would be a great character name..

Seems to be fairly consistent feedback with little argument at this point. Consensus: Something should be done. Many Energy Melee enthusiasts would be okay with something simple. Some have more something more in mind but would be okay with simple. a few would like a revamped power set named Energy Melee (I think these provide important feedback. just toward future power sets) Then again, this topic may have previously exhausted folks.

I think but can't confirm it was Total Focus with the big stun (between ET and TF)

In order to help PVP gain traction those who are active would need to be able to accurately identify the things people don't like. Lower level PVP has a lower barrier to entry and could therefore be more accommodating of casual or new PVP folks. Expecting folks to participate at levels that require expensive highly specialized builds and be practiced in exploits in order to be successful is a fools errand.

Energy Transfer Melee, Foe Disorient, Self -Hit Points Mastery of Energy Melee begins with the ability to transfer your own hit points into a punch that deals extreme Smashing and Energy damage. Energy Transfer has a good chance of Disorienting the target. Stalker: Unlike other Stalker primary attack powers, Energy Transfer cannot land a critical hit. However, if this attack is executed successfully while Hidden, you can avoid the hit point loss to yourself and deal a massive blow with no penalty. May 2008 numbers

My suggestion is simple. Reverse the July 9, 2008 Energy Melee changes. Just give that a try. Energy Melee really was that good. July 9, 2008 We knew this one would be controversial. There's a new patch hitting the CoX live servers today.. The changes that have most players up in arms are the nerf to the stun dealt by Total Focus and an animation change to Energy Transfer, changes that hit the Tank, Brute and Stalker classes. The new animation, while more visually impressive than the old, is slower; an Energy Transfer used to take one second, and now takes 2.67 seconds. (For those that don't know, Energy Transfer is a damaging attack that also has a good chance to stun.) Despite the usual high levels of communication from the developers, some players are unhappy and consider this a crippling nerf; however, nobody seems to be particularly surprised that some form of nerfing has taken place. Energy Melee really was that good.

Lots of ideas already mentioned.. so I'll go a little more obscure, not really needed but maybe.. How about some type of skill requirement. Should folks be 50 without having played the character? Wouldn't need to be mastery or anything too terribly hard. (Maybe one mission, badge, or something needed every __ levels. Maybe 30, 40, 50 or 45 & 50)

Yes it is.. welcome. I play nice

this thread has taken a daytime drama turn.. just kidding 😃

need to read the text description (green text below) for accurate explanation. this will be the case for many powers. it may be annoying that the game does not readily give up all its secrets however there are methods in game that could provide the information.

wow just wow

Prices currently aren't going to be the best due to demand and low inventories.. try and get even a refrigerator right now is a challenge much less getting a deal. That said, keeping an eye out can yield desirable results. I was able to find one like below for $699, then upgraded to 32GB ddr4 and a f9 silent fan: HP Pavilion 690 Gaming Desktop Intel Core i5-9400F upto 4.1GHz 8GB RAM 256GB NVMe SSD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

Homecoming no. setup your own server and have at it: https://ourodev.com/

I'm m e l t i n g ..

here is a less expensive (but not cheap) option just to show what's possible: and here's a more expensive well rounded one:

never gonna write that, n e v e r ! ! ! !

I guess that should have been "soonTM"..

@EmmySky wrong thread. w r o n g t h r e a d !! ;)

yes please..
