  • <Goon Squad> is a righteous band of hooligans fully dedicated to PvP awesomeness. We're looking for a few more peeps to join in the fun. We do have openings of all 3 of the classes you mention. Our head honcho is away for the weekend, but I'll hit you up on XBL later this weekend to see about arranging a try-out. In the…
  • Right on bro. Bumping this up so Ant notices and sends you an invite for a tryout. I won't be online until next weekend, but look forward to rolling with you.
  • Love, love, love the idea of trying to build up the non-troll, non-drama, all-fun section of the PvP community. A lot of you guys seem great in the forums, but I've never really run across you in game. I'm traveling on business for the next couple of weeks, but I'd love to take part. Hope this takes off.
  • Although a lot of your recent posts come off as idiotic, I have to say I agree conceptually to this. That's really the kind of meta game I'm used to. Tanks beat assassins, assassins beat squishes, casters and ranged DPS beat tanks.
  • ****, you're Kermit!? We're never on at the same time. One of these days we'll get a chance to roll together. Looking forward to it.
  • Lack of counterplay is to me the biggest red flag. We can niggle on the particular mechanics, but if TRs truly dominate end-game like they do the early PUGs then I have to agree with you. There should ALWAYS be counterplay. I have opinions based on a month of gametime. Take them with a grain of salt. But I do have…
  • An honest question, and please don't take this out of context. Is a GWF really a tank? I know that it is much, much harder to take down a GF than it is to take down a GWF. GFs seem tanky to me. GWF not so much. I still feel that GWF needs a buff. I don't know if they are meant to be more an off-tank, or a bruiser type…
  • azoused, a good post, with some good comments. Here's my responses. Yes, and no. I consider PvP to be the true end-game. It should be more challenging competing against other living, thinking, grinding players than it is to go against programmed bosses. I don't expect everyone to be a hardcore PvPer, nor does the game…
  • Trollish rhetoric that does absolutely nothing to add clarity to the issue. Maybe it helps you feel a little bit better about yourself to imagine me in that way, but you are dead wrong. I'm going to make another thread dedicated to RESPONSIBLE discussions for balancing PvP, and going forward just link to it instead of…
  • azuosed... I'm disappointed. We've exchanged a bunch of posts, and you should know very well by now that that is definitely NOT my position, at all. Never has been. In fact, I've gone on record multiple times stating that I support RESPONSIBLE efforts to balance PvP and to balance TR. The problem is that 99% of the PvP…
  • So they should nerf the class because you lack the stomach to grind out glory and buy PvP gear like everyone else had to? Or the devs should just give you some gear for free because it's hard? PvP is not for everyone. It is sometimes downright brutal. If you don't like it, don't play it, simple as that.
  • I honestly have no idea what you just said.
  • Of course no one said that. But in idiot-land, everything is a cartoon parody: TRs are game-breakingly OP and everyone who plays them is a cheating baby. Evidence, facts, experience and responsible discussion be damned!
  • QFT. 1-Shot TRs perform at god-tier in undergeared and disorganized PUGs. In matches where teams are better organized, geared and experienced, they are the least dangerous of the 3 trees, IMO.
  • hi Sacrabman, Loving the game so far... thanks for bringing it to XBox. Glad to hear you might visit the forums, answer some questions and give us some insight into where this thing is headed. Think this is a really good move. There are issues with the game to be sure, but also a ton of potential and a pretty engaged…
  • Man, spend enough time in these forums and everyday starts to seem like Groundhog day...
  • Lemon flies out of the country on the morning of 6/9, return 6/19. Seems about right. My theory continues to gain credibility.
  • Ideally, azoused, I hope to keep this thread free from rants and generalizations. Really just want to know what your specific class/build is, and what your toughest match-ups are with that specific class/build.
  • OMFG ant I love it.
  • You got smacked good with a Disheartening Strike.
  • Wait, what? I don't know anything about the PC version. Are you saying that SoD damage is halved and TR dazes are halved as well? And tenacity will give armor pen resistance (like, what, if I have ArP of 30% and you have tenacity of 25%, I get the effective benefit of an ArP of 5%)? Interesting changes...
  • Don't know about double XP, but I'm pretty sure they plan double RP pretty much every time I have to travel. :(
  • We need some more tag to go with our rag....
  • Did you guys have a chance to do this yet? Curious as to the result!
  • Heroic death! No, but you have a 6 second window to cleanse the effect, or get HP back to absorb the hit through heals, waters artifact, or even raven skull. And you are right that SoD damage cannot be mitigated, but the damage it deals is already a function of your damage mitigation. E.g. if I burst you for 50k after…
  • No disrespect intended. Just I've never really been impressed by a GWF yet. Maybe I haven't matched up against a good one. It's interesting what you say about piercing damage being a problem. Let's noodle this a bit. There are, I believe, 3 encounters/feats that provide this, right? 1. SoD: this is the only one I've…
  • Ha, that's pretty brilliant. Still, I get it for the PC version. But it's been a while, no? And a console launch is a huge opportunity to revitalize the franchise and crack open a whole new market. It's like there is no vision or ambition with this port. They are kind of sleepwalking through a chance to do something so…
  • The theme that keeps recurring over and over again in these forums is that 1) people love this game, 2) people can't stand the bugs, and 3) there is soooo much untapped potential here. Cryptic really scored a coup being the first MMO on XboxOne but for whatever reason seem to be missing out on the chance to run away with…
  • Lol... That is not at all what I thought the guild name stood for....
