    Watch some games of League of Legends, fights don't last for minutes, they are often over in the blink of an eye. It's CC the target and burst, 2 seconds and he's dead. The good players avoid the CC abilities and can, after the opponent used everything, counterengage and get an advantage. You might also set up a trap with your team, make the better rotations on the map, etc.
    I think the mistake many players do in PvP is thinking it's about fighting, getting kills, etc. In reality, PvP is mostly about strategies, planning ahead of your opponent, assume what they will do next and then act according to it.

    P.S. The above mentioned games are currently the most popular PvP games (and it are not 1 or 2 games I mentioned)

    Problem is, this game forces you to PVP on a node to succeed. Your team is very often packed together in a relatively small area, so when a TR drops his Smoke Bomb he can CC you and a number of your teammates. A DC that wants to survive, well, his Shield telegraphs exactly where he will be standing and probably exactly where his teammates will be as well, so again, just drop your CC in that area and you can CC a whole bunch of people.
    PSA: You don't need to grind Spinward Rise for your Elemental artifact main hand if you have some AD lying around. You can craft it via the Tyranny of Dragon's campaign screen.

    This is the item level equivalent for artifacts (not artifact ewuipment) used to determine if you have good enough equipment to enter a dungeon. This is just an approximation given for the artifacts stats.

    Yay Graaxl3 sighting , when you give us nice new shinies to play with system designer graaxl3? xD

    Can you, dear devs, drop the AD prices to rise companions???? i do not get why is that expensive to upgrade a white companion into green, in example, that buying a green one from AH...

    Agree.

    Too much expensive for few benefits.
    Peace and Love

    As far as I understand, the timer doesn't actually tick down unless you're logged in, so only characters that are played for 4 hours can earn all the rewards.

    The timer ticks down even if you're not logged in.

    Yes you get 1 ardent coin and 1 celestial coin on the first pray , you then get another celestial coin the last pray at 4 hours.

    That is how it works on live. On preview, I've gone a week or more without logging into some characters, and when I log back into them later all of my coins seem to still be there.
    Neverwinter players are stubborn things....until you strip them down to bone. (Cursed players, my flowers, MINE!) Oh how I plotted their demise.

    Ok. It seems that the coins no longer vanish (I hope they changed that). I was talking about the time you have to wait before being able to pray again. That timer ticks down regardless of being online or not.

    I enjoyed the PvP-Event with you. Was fun :) i never saw so much dragons in the arena before. :D
    Sad there seems somekind of bug with the Fox-Shift ability. If its active the target dodges every attack till the effect vanish instead of only the first attacks auto-dodges. I could attack the same target 4 full duelist flurry while it was simply standing there.

    Thanks for pointing out the Fox Shift weirdness, I immediately ran over to Gentleman Crush's desk and had him fix it (was pretty simple for once).

    so GF just got 20% dmg boost to all powers why you guys couldnt just simply buff GWF powers in the 1st place instead of that 984957834589734853485 stacks system?

    TR just ROFLstomps pack to pack, GWF has to build momentum from pack to pack. TR doesn't even need to use full rotation or daily, GWF has to in order to speed things up.

    That's funny! The problem with the paladin level 70 artifact weapon is an easy fix also that has been there for days and days and days! I taught this <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> for years and years and know what is involved in it!

    What issue are you talking about specifically? I don't see any recent posts of yours that describe it.

    Bug : Grand Fissure
    With this patch, damage of Grand Fissure have been divided by 4-5. Since not in the patchnotes, seems to be a bug.

    BUG: Defense is bugged for level 70 toons. Possibly for all 61+ toons.

    Example: on live my 60 CW has 32.x% DR. When I copy him to preview he also has 32% DR. I don't know exactly what happened but the level 70 version of him (copied a month ago and levelled up) only has 9.2% DR!!!
    He literally can't survive a fight with simple minions without having shield on tab, and even then he constantly dies from 1 hits.

    This is obviously, game breaking.

    4. All missions in Underlift must be ended by pressing F on gate but then appears: You have unfinished map progres... ofc You must press Cancel and then You can end Mission, and one more time press F to exit.

    sorry for the confusion, let me state it more clearly:

    2200 Defense (0 Deflect, 17AC) = 32% DR
    3300 Defense (same Defl/AC) = 11% DR

    having LESS defense gives you MORE DR. obvious math error/bug.

    you have less defense at LV 60 but the stat curve at lv 60 is DIFFERENT then it is a lv 70.

    at lv 60 the curve is something like 150 def=1% DR (not this but around there) at level 70 the stat curve is 400 points of defense = 1% DR.

    they changed how the DR is calculated at 70 from how it is calculated at lv 60

    3300/400 is 8%~Dr + what you get from AC = 11%~ DR so its working as intended.

    in mod 6 with new stats curves you get 1% DR per 400 points spend in defense stat.

    Dying even faster is not working as intended.

    I am having a serious problem with this. Doesn't this seem very wrong to anyone else? As we level, the enemies get harder and our effective stats are being reduced at the same time. Can someone clarify?

    just DR that I saw. I didn't look too closely at the other stats though...

    DR is the one that's going to matter to most people, going from 32% to 9% will be quite a shock.

    You guys ever wonder why each mod is only fixes for one tree?

    All your HR fixes are for trapper because you killed the other two trees.

    None are for GWF's because they are dead in PVP - 100% dead....

    GF's are general because you have no idea what to do with the class


    ....... Do you see how this is going? Please fix the GWF so it is viable in pvp again. I would hate to see you ruin a class for an entire mod again because you are too caught up in an "off tank/healer" that is better than GF's and DC's at both.

    Please figure it out

    Signed, everyone

    They changed the stat curves because they want to level the playing field. If the stat curves were the same, most veteran BiS players could get by until level 70 end-game in their old gear, while new players would be having to wear the green and blue drops/quest rewards they got along the way.

    Now everyone will want to switch gear as they level: say goodbye to High Prophet, High Vizier, Avatar of War...

    you can get by until 70 on your current gear (assuming it's decent) the stuff in the 3 leveling zones isn't that hard. it's once you get to IWD/WoD level 73 stuff will kick your <bleep>
