The PvP lot has a thread about the best PvP'ers http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=158731 .
Thought I'd post who I would like to have on my team during PvE no matter if we get on or not ^___^
In no real order.
Kenpo , Brou , Silverspar ,Snakewildlife , Shev (yes Shev the times I have been in alerts with shev we nailed NEM with 1.10 still on the clock ), The Last , Meredy Redleaf, Sgt Mahoff, Some guy called Offender , Flyingfinn ,Chat and Frank the bunneh \o/
Been in alerts with all these people one time or another and we all nailed it with over a min on the clock.
*edit* The list only contains people I have seen in action in PvE over a good few times . Many other players are epic for other reason

I'd have to nominate my husband for a "legendary PvE" er. Not because of the relation, but he was kind enough to completely redo his character when my Archery AT was grabbing too much aggro for his Melee to handle. He switched to a Power Armor (?) AT and now we can duo pretty much everything ... except that one stupid Adventure with teh mind dudes ... *sigh*
Would love to read other people's nominees!
Sounds like a legend. Not many people would do that ^__^

Bonus points for collecting the three best lair items: [Necrullitic Elixir], [Neuroelectric Pulse Generator], and [Psionic Accelerator].
Leo the Lion King of Lionland is the only character who has all four.
If it wasn't for people like Tom Q, Falchoin, Dr. Sage and others I can't think of right now giving me build help, I'd still suck really bad. They're the real heroes here!
That says all about how much worth a thread like this is .. its just to praise some people
maybe to get more attention from them or whatever else.
Had a legendary alert 2 days ago all with "nameless" people .. Nemesis down in 12 seconds.
Let's not start a ruckus in this thread, okay?
I do well in alerts and in groups. I was making a joke, because when I play solo, I'm extremely reckless so I die a lot.
RIP Caine
Bluhman has mad photo-bombing skills :biggrin:
The three characters that I noticed most, and that were doing more then their part every time I saw them, are Persiphony (I think I am writing this wrong), Wolf Fang and Silverspar.
I don't know their handles, they are not on my friends list and I never really talked to them.
Crosschan
Vlad Dracul (spelling ?)
Isometry
Secksegai
Falchoin
Vixy
I may argue with her, and others may do the same, but Silverspar is one of the best tanks ive ever seen.
Ive only included people that Ive actually played with or seen play. There are many others whose capabilities I am positive would put them on this list if I had ever played with them (or against them...Vixy is on the list because of the many times she dropped me from first to second place in event open mission score boards).
'Caine, miss you bud. Fly high.
Poor baby!!! :cool:
@Lohr
Why you talking to yourself?
So...normal?
@Lohr
So you and Pion ARE the same person!
It was the 01 in both of your names that gave you away!
Aha!
LOL!
Agree 100%.
Players with an godmode build that doing all the work?
Although a certain Arrow slinger who i met for the first time isn't any slouch either

It's all about the player, not the build. Well, the build helps, but I'd take a guy who knows what he's doing over a guy with a great build any day.

Oh, totally. For all the top tier builds that smackwell's gotten, I wouldn't team with him ever again, dude has no idea.....
oh... my bad...
Cliques: They're not just for High School anymore. :rolleyes:
Not sure that this has bearing on the current situation as the single most mentioned individual is far from a member of any clique that may or may not be present in this thread.
I'm not sure that saying, "I think Joe Montana is a legendary football player," makes one a member of any clique. Neither does, for example, my commentary on the skill level of players who are not on my friends list, and with whom I have played, at most, a handful of times over the course of the last three years.
'Caine, miss you bud. Fly high.
heck im willing to bet haflteh people in this thread could be lumped together and after a few mineuts, ahve pretty good team synergy, and roflstop most the thigns in this game in no time.
Oh yeah, and ask Sgt. Mahoff about me sometime Nepht.
If I had to name top 5 tanks (can pull & hold agro and survive it well) that I've witnessed in-action myself (alphabetical order):
Captain New Jersey
Jinx
Silverspar
Xadrek
Xowarex
I know Jinx and Silverspar really don't get along, but they are both really good at tanking.
Xadrek is sort of a legendary tank (slayer of Mega D's) from Aussie Force Alpha, before he got into SWToR heavily.
Xowarex's Avalanche was the stuff of legends in PvE Elite combat with a full team, as in he'd agro ALL the rooms in Aftershock #5 and somehow not die even once. Little newbies like me at the time just ran around picking up glowing orbs.
Astrocat was the first one who showed me how to defeat Vikorin, and he did it when the team was wiped out, alone! (this is a feat I've later replicated myself one day, although it was harder when he did it because Vikorin was bugged; thus I don't consider myself his equal)
Brou punches stuff, and he's good at it; but frankly I've seen him and Captain New Jersey both quite a bit and ol' Capt. is an even more amazing might tank than Brou. And Brou is very good, so don't underestimate what I'm saying here. Capt. New Jersey was literally undefeated by any PvP or PvE battle I EVER saw him wage (and that's quite a bit), and HE PLAYED IN CHARACTER! Epic & funny! He was an epitome of RP, PvP, and PvE all rolled into one, and he never broke that hilarious Rocky-style character, not once. Believe me, I tried to get him to break character, he didn't. Sadly I have no idea what happened to him, he just stopped logging in and never came back, but he's a legend in my book.
As for me, I play like to play some sort of support on the team. Support via AoE DPS and/or Healing & Bubbles. I miss not being able to login as much, but well... duty calls.
What I admire most is a person that not only has skills and a strong build that performs well, but they do the best they can do, have high situational awareness, and help the team with extreme selfless effectiveness (often never having to say a word, their actions just speak for themselves). Many people play selfishly, it's rare to find a highly skilled & truly selfless team-focused player, and it's a lot of fun to play with them on a team.
Whether you are primarily tanking, healing, or dealing damage for the team, what matters is that you're doing your best for the team. It's truly amazing what a group of players can accomplish if they work as a single unit together.
Many of my fondest memories of this are running Elite content (primarily Aftershock) with a full team of good friends (typically all of us on Ventrilo together), or doing cosmic hunting (namely Grond). Sadly I've only got a few photos/screenshots to show for it. *sigh*

I mean, some of us, myself included have spent countless hours analyzing data and tweaking this or that so for said persons to stand out is no surprise. But what really impresses me these days are being in a random pug, not recognizing a single name on the list, and yet everyone takes cues from each other and works in harmony regardless of level.
Perhaps I'm just that jaded, but it's one thing to see a first-timer in grav wipe out in under 30 seconds. But when you've seen the same name make the same mistakes as if it was there first time out.... I mean, you don't have to spend weeks crunching numbers to learn from actual experience, at least you shouldn't.
Most of the people that impress me do so without fanfare, and its usually the bad players and leechers I'm far likely to remember. I can easily remember a "legendary" leecher that I hunt with reckless abandon anytime he/she appears in a hero game, but those solid players I see in alerts... I may not remember but respect nonetheless.
In skimming the thread, I however didn't see a mention of @ayona, someone who's impressed me time and again. Don't get me wrong, I've seen a lot of names mentioned that I'd agree upon as well, but I can't think of anyone else that commands that much respect from me. And to top it all off, ayona is sooo nonchalant about it all

Thank you sir.
Look... I know I can come off as an hardass sometimes on the forums, because it's a written media. Service is something I do in real life and using science to help people and the world I live in is something that defines my character. Because of this, I'm a highly team oriented person.
Pro tip (well pro form when I used to play for money on a regular basis in PC shooter games):
Teamplay is comprised of individual skills, team communication skills, and team tactical skills. A part of team tactical skills requires situational awareness of other teammates; a part of individual skills requires situational awareness of hazards and enemy-created threats. Each part of these three parts is essential to making the team function effectively, they're all interconnected. If you're against an enemy team, identify their weakest part and exploit it, relentlessly.
A good way to train this is to have the team train together on a map with narrow zig-zagging ledges that you can easily fall of to your death. You still have to play and move quickly, but if one person isn't watching their step they fall and die and the rest of the team has be observant that they're a player short for a time and adjust.
Now Champions Online is nice because most of the time it's quiet casual. In fact RP is often the very essence of casual, arguably. But there are definite take-aways from competitive play that can allow you casual play to be that much less frustrating and more enjoyable.
One of those take-aways was what you quoted me as saying earlier and another one is the generic "pro tip" just offered above. :cool:

That man is an unknown ( but very offensive ) legend \o/
Or a guy called Callmebro he would never be happy with his powers but would be the one guy you would want on a nemcom run ^__^
Some people seem to think I was meaning well known players ...no thats the not the point at all.
Its who do YOU think is legendary at PvE.
That saying I would rather have someone who is a massive laugh to play with. My whole buddy list is full of such legendary peeps ^__^

This is about PVE, but still, picking yourself does not count.
I'm also part of the ALL-STARS the best darn supergroup to ever grace the airwaves. Or at least the biggest
Lady Isis seems to have a good handle on keeping groups alive.
Stuffy on the old CO forums. PWE ate my username.
Thanks! I'm flattered, though since my popularity isn't as big as some of the others mentioned, I haven't had much exposure to those outside of SECRET & Spectre. I often get compliments when I'm on the toons that I've posted guides for here on the forums: Wonder Star, Dream Star, and my fav, Gem Star.
Actually, looking through all the ppl who've posted, I've had some interaction with at one point or another. I've run a few DS runs with ashen, kinda helped agenx5 with Myst Flight Comp farming, and have apygoos on my friends list, but never see'm lol, and Nepht: I've chatted with her, but have never, ever seen in a pvp match of any kind =o
=p
My picks: @Falchoin, he's influenced much of my Dream Star build. Together, we've pretty much ROFL Stomped through anything, and victory is assured just with us two like here. @Snakewildlife, awesome guy, same with Falchoin. we recently just took out Teliosaurus, though it not much of a feat. He's actually got my grinding, errr farming Psionic Accelerator....

LOL a thread started by Nepht and the words serious dont match ( apart from the region ban ones -.- ) .

No need to apologize. I didn't mean my post like that.
I just didn't understand you were joking.
Unfortunately, there are many wonderful players that don't play that much, belongs to a famous SG and/or are social players. For all those anonymous legends my recognition. :biggrin:
Yay you're still around?! :biggrin: I was worried you were gone. I'm glad to see you're still around, I was worried you had left since I didn't see you at all in June or July. Yeah you're a personal legend to me for helping me learn a technique that indeed eventually (with enough hours and gold) let me get the Accelerated Aethyric Incancation device. Sorry for not mentioning you earlier... I know I'm forgetting people (partly because I can't look at my in-game friends list with this broken Core Connect thing)
I definitely remember having you and Falchoin on the same team, makes even hard content look easy (I think we might have even broke some time records for beating Shadow Destroyer).
Speaking of which, I passed on that farming tip you gave me to at least a dozen other people. So your generosity benefited a lot more people than you might realize.
I'm trying to remember who @Snakewildlife is atm... What's their main character?
There are a lot of other great PvE players I'm having trouble remembering... A few for the list: Cerebria (this build was ruined with the Ego Storm nerf though), RupchtVanDoom, XMTSX, MattyT, Vergilthefallen, etc etc...
I never quite can tell if Caliga is just joking around being in character or has a self-inflated ego that could fill a castle. I remember attending a Costume Contest he was hosting and all he did was talk down to everybody else there and about how great he was. If you have to proclaim you're so great, it just means you're wanting attention. Better to let actions speak for yourself. I will say though that he's got a great costume that is both memorable and unique.

I can't tell you how many times I've been confused with man of light's toons over the course of this game since I've been here (I think its due to the 'star' portion in my name) But I have seen him in action and yes he is indeed somebody I would respectfully nod my head to in legendary status.
Also I'm gonna chime in @vixy,kane of chaos,straxus,darkonx,blademaster(I didn't forget ya), scarletstrike,kro,bling,sistersmash(good ole smashy),leo,sanguineviper,nesno,and eve.
I know there are more I wanna mention but since the forum change it has been made much more difficult for me to look up @handles so apologies.
Oh and a special nod to jaybezz for giving me the idea to create my own AOAC toon who I very much enjoy playing around with from time to time when I can. JB's *itching is legendary of its own right.

Ahem........."PPPPOOOOSSSTTTSSS!!!!"
:redface:
In a more serious note. My picks would be: Sekimen and Falchoin
I chose Sekimen because he himself designed a build utilizing might and unleashed rage as it's core components, and at that time, it was an amazingly solid build. I never had the pleasure of teaming with him once, but I've seen him in action through Falchoin's youtube videos on PTS testing for new alerts, gravitar, etc etc.
I chose Falchoin because he is a very avid PTS tester and in my eyes, helped very much to shape alot of the number crunching and ways this game's mechanics regarding powers and content have developed. His feedback has always involved solid good ole quality data. Untop of that he is an amazing player with good humble values.
