    currently 90% of us like grinding that funny-50-tf-i-never-do or running tunnels ~80 times to gather ~1150 million inf (250 prisms) so their character can enjoy an aura. if you dont think prisms from pvp should be a thing - do you think the drop rate should rise outside of literally less than a handful of places where accrual isnt punishing?

    i find a lot of people who complain about ganking call being killed in pvp in any way, ganking. could you end up with hunt packs in zone pvp, yes. its dangerous. a stalker or stealth becomes greatly more valuable, and a persons on their toes. were someone truely following you for an extended period, theres a bunch of zones. death happens, asymetric death happens, in pvp. to me, its part of what in totality is the most dynamic and challenging play type in the game. it beats rolling over council on repeat, where the primary concern is 'can party memver x get a hit in at all before the mob explodes'? people want to be powerful, they do not want that challenged by another like them. because while they may feel its unfair, they are aware that it was human vs human, and they lost. to some that stings a lot, but it doesnt have to. pvp isnt screaming pog loudly while remembering to thank your sponsors, patreons, and onlyfans - or it never used to be.

    yes! itd work, shiny and bright, magpies and treasures. its 1150M for an aura costume. i dont wanna run the tunnel map 80 times. dunno about the rest of you.

    an extra toggle to let you hover, but sink to the ground as if anti flown, would be nice. geavity toggle, basically. you could still hop about but if you stop pressing space bar... down you go. its help with trying to use earth powers as a flying type.

    even if it were more of the posi 1 style clones, putting it in peoples face and integeating with pve, can lessen the 'i hate pvp' gut react some bring. take guild wars 1, youre playing normally, then you enter a mission where, without warning, the oponents are live. that 'mesmer' or 'warrior' is a player!! they did it very early level also, like 4 of 20. i dunno... is there even an mmo with pvp anymore? last good ones for me were eq2 (nagafen Figs, the illusionist - everything about eq2 pvp was great imo), aion (rifts!), blade and soul (BAD monetization, great pvp), wow (southshore lpwbie waves and waves)... and coh...eve online doesnt count. and of course guild wars 1 (more than 2 imo) anyway, not much these days, and by these days i mean decade, is there?

    cold domination / fire ? if you think so. though id probably corruptor, for scourge on fire, higher dmg, and enough on the defender set.

    ^ pvp was always great on live, i thought! agree theres a bad rep pvp enjoyers, umm, enjoy. i think that bc most homecoming players are slow and bad at pvp, probably... so they moan about even going red side, and hero fantasy rupture and so on and endlessly (see what i conflated there!?) nothing matches the zenith of pvp madness, kupo! the tanker with a warmace who superjumps (from nowhere) onto your face and connects monster hits. we've all had our bits that get the blood running, if your're in the know, right? just wish it could still be part of CoX. because non-heroes exist!
  9. honoroit
    interesting responses! you know, kupo, bribes work. bribing people to pvp would probably work. now gank squads? thatd be awesome! it can actually be fun when baddies pounce, if there's enough people to respond in kind. i dunno. i just want prisms AND pvp (invasions most). and also hot buttered porridge with raw honey and raisins. my desires are plain. prisms, pvp, and porridge.

    therss a set of multiple builds for any character, and I'd agree some are more or less advantaged in powers deoending on choice of character. as @biostem mentioned: Introduce a PvP mode that relies solely on a special build with only SOs or some equivalent... i like the idea of stripping down to SOs, accolades and incarnates etc removed - that flattens the set bonus madness and overpowered nonsenses that might otherwise arise. take something like ffxiv pvp - its poorly balanced. and, its not fun. but people play it, because the daily takes 20m and is about half a level of xp. coh pvp IS fun, in my opinion, but theres no reward incentive to make people play, nor a queue option. i think if it were a prism drop at a high rate, 20% or so, youd see some show up. i dont know if they can cross server queue, my guess is no, and unit centric design of system might make that overly complex - a shard it to exist as a monolith shard, or was, and so is. generally there, its might be time to merge some of these shards? if cross server pooling cant be achieved. we're down sub 100 on a number of them, yet those 100 would boost the remaining well. id love to see zone invasions, or if were all a ghost town of it - spawns from player builds, as with posi 1 last mission. itd be fun to encounter more like that, even if theyre server controlled. more generally - i still contest youd have floods to redside if there were loyalty-by-staying-time improved xp rates, or prism drops. prisms are a good one to mess with, as they do not affect player power, and the market prices for them could use a taking down. ~1150Million for an aura costume, or 450M for a tier 2 costume, is a lot.

    for player kills?! not that i know of. hope so!
  12. honoroit
    simple - would you pvp, arena or zone based, if prismatic aether things dropped when you killed people?

    Figs build MK2... he's pretty wonderous. I think to myself on TFs and team activities: - *they know I'm the strongest here! they must think I'm so cool!* sometimes, I even say so - tell them its OK to think I'm really great. that always goes down well! - got body mastery instead of picking mu for a couple of ranged abilities - in this only take superior conditioning (extra end), where I put a chance to self heal on this auto - picked up proton sweep - I'm ALWAYS in melee, and often between AOEs want something like the cone... among cones its not bad, and its yet another AT primary mechanic producer / consumer (contaminated). ty again to @Riot Siren and @Spaghetti Betty for build inspires. Figs (the famous) - mk2.mbd

    made a defender and corruptor build - def is elec affinity/storm, corruptor storm/storm. blaster - probably storm/elec.... or storm/energy... or storm/plant... or storm/ice ---- storm / ice would probably be good. corruptor - Corruptor (Storm Blast - Storm Summoning).mbd storm def - Defender (Electrical Affinity - Storm Blast).mbd
  15. honoroit
    Its stormy out, there's thunder, and the drinky people nearby are whooping at the sky. so I'm going to make a storm blast 'something'.... but what's the concensus? what's the best of best AT for storm, in your opinion??

    there could be costume contests in cap au diablo. thered need to be security for the lowbies, or the lvl 2s could fight the lvl 12 mu and brickers around the central square as if they were raid mobs. thered be blood on the streets! judges would assess if you look cool as a corpse pre-release. red side is so great! but no one cooperates! after costume contests... everyone would go to sirens call and pvp lots, and thered be leagues in the arenas, pocket d battle-with-bets... everyone would be so happy!

    i will save the day, here's a illu / dark (you'll be better than illu kin)!

    (youre doing this on excelsior? good luck with event, might want to add that bit, though its likely presumed)
  20. honoroit
    !!theres no activities!! Figs - the stalker super villian, endlessly looping blueside, having NEVER done some redside strike forces, missing bank robberies and casino heists, mayham missions, snake maps, f'd up maps, gold brickers, legacy chain, luddites, and just a more advanced base of affairs than occupies blue from a mob design perspective, excluding the wards.... paces around talos, and founders, street hunting... there's no activities! we need more activities! theres no friday sirens call, theres no push to redside level. its whisps, even in port oakes or cap. like 2-3 people in zone, and all the rest hiding solo in instanced caves! what's to be done? wither? merge the servers?
  21. honoroit
    on defender, yes! overlooked it entirely.... however, you are going to be BUSY trying to fulltime kin and keep up res debuffs. byt yessir, it should be high on the list. one could argue, just go fire. but one always might.
  22. honoroit
    perfect phone call. no collusion. total exhonoration. 'i would like to ask you to do us a favor' brutes should run fast 🏃‍♂️when furious!

    its just the weather, too hot.... too shiny the light... but no frets, there aren't any games like coh. ff16, well it wasn't ff12. nor was it nier automata. link is pretty cool, but people will get done. remnant 2, it's fun but you exhaust the gameplay loop quite quickly diablo 4 - punishing to player at the moment. too much horse. dark souls - pvp invasions. same kind of deal as coh, nothing like it (including elden ring, which is a weirded pale wash with a turtle pope?) tho we do need more activities in coh. by that I mean uptick in group formations.

    controller: plant / time - faster creepers, def, team buffs recharge plant / kin - a thing. fulcrum works in creepers. plant / elec affinity - its work, not as particular compliment, bit scatter brained. plant / nature - do not be tempted to take spirit tree its regen is way too slow. it needs to be like a cot oranbega green crystal aura and put ~800% regen base, not 150%. too slow, looks pretty. nature has nice things. plant is better dominator: why? - however, it makes a very different, attack focused character. so if you want a control WITH support, disregard. but id take dom olant over a controller trick arrow, as example, as youve dropped the support for more cc, overkill wise, and can assault better than oil slick burns, in totality. - mag 6 seeds, pretty much. you are going to confuse even bosses on a sweep thats quick and regular. - higher base dmg for creepers pet, but that if kin, is offset on controller, albeit with hassle. - thorny is a good combo, see my guide on 2ndary for dominator, the authoritative tier-splain.
