So I pondered this for a bit, and pulled the trigger last weekend. Already had been working up a Dex belt and had it to purple, and I purchased the Company Duelist cloak. Spent a small fortune getting both up to orange so I could re-slot my enchants (I am too impatient to wait for 2x RP). I replaced the LM belt and…

Apologies up-front for length. It's freaking "War and Peace" so if you don't have five minutes, stop reading now. And maybe this should actually be a thread all its own, but this one seems to be drawing attention, and we are, in fact, talking about what is broken in PvP. I've not read every word in this thread so this may…
-
Angry? Not at all. Just somewhat critical for no good reason whatsoever, other than creating disagreement for its own sake. Please focus on comment re: "nit-picking". You make a lot of great posts on here, and I often agree with much of what you say. I believe that in general, you are very thoughtful, and given 4500+…

Seriously? Dude...look past the trees and try to see the forest. I'm not trying to be "right" or "wrong" here. Just to express my opinion, even if it is different from yours or others. If you can avoid the trap that so many people live in (and which you just fell into) of picking apart other people's posts line-by-line and…

+1 Most astute comment on here so far. And succinct too, I like it. I am a high-mid level HR. cross-built for PvP and PvE. So I often struggle in 1v1. Sometimes not...depends on the opposition, right? But we should remember that this class is not a striker. It is a striker/controller. I regularly run with a CW who is…
-
Totally depends on what you are trying to do. PvE? PvE? Both? And what is your build...are you crit-heavy, do you play more striker or more of controller/support in parties. Also...what kind of resources do you have available to put into getting a new enchant. Will you be working one yourself, up or buying on the AH? All…

Owlbear to the rescue! Fingers crossed...

My main has 89 points right now, and that is sufficient (HR main...quite a few useless powers in there get no points at all). So I'll not complain about the sufficiency of what I've been granted. That said, over-leveling XP rewards have become ridiculous. Now we must understand, this overflow experience will accumulate…
-
I won't read all 13 pages in this thread so I am sure I am repeating someone...please forgive me. I've looked at this guy's Twitter feed and seen things along the lines of "ask me nicely and I will stop" or "if I get 10 pictures I will stop". This is the mind of a child, and the actions of an attention HAMSTER. Deadly…

Here comes my standard wall-o-text. If you don't have five minutes, stop now. asterdahl You may or may not be surprised to find that we know that developers don't call all the shots, that you work with limited resources, and that you can each only address one thing at a time. Many of us have positions IRL with similar…

Oh yeah...and agree with above. Maybe you could not run streams when most of the folks who have jobs in the US are at work, and much of the rest of the world is asleep. Just sayin...
-
Did not watch the stream, but still want to inject my two cents since everyone has thrown in their Christmas list early-on in this thread. Plain and simple...PLEASE fix PvP queueing and/or matchmaking. From what I can tell, folks who progress into high-level PvP spend a ton of money on the game to gear up and remain…
-
Fantastic idea...thanks for taking the initiative on this. See you this weekend in SHS! :smiley:
-
This thread makes me feel like I'm looking at a guy whose leg has just been sliced off. Ten people are standing around with tourniquets and first aid supplies trying to help the dude and keep him from bleeding out, but he's busy spurting arterial blood, raging and waving them all off so he can try to hop away on his other…
-
Neither I run Forest Ghost and Disruptive for dailies. Always. Just my thing. While I can perhaps see uses for both Cold Steel and Seismic in PvE, I find both to be totally non-viable in PvP. I'm sure others will disagree. It's enough of a pain swapping out armor, etc to go from one to the other...I refuse to swap dailies…
-
Here's my analogy...very basic psychology. Cryptic/PWE is the parent, and we are the children. A new module comes out, and we all rush to grab the shiny new toys. We play with them and love them and make them our own. Simply because they are new, and seem better than or different from our old toys. Then we begin to…
-
Great points. I like your attitude (I'm also delaying work to write this) and your handle (s500 in the garage). I can't understand why all the kvetching in threads like this about paying for respecs, transmutes, coal wards (pre TarBar store rework), etc. Game is F2P. Everything in game can be had for AD, or for Zen which…
-
Warning. Wall of text rant coming. If you don't like to read, stop now. So let me get this straight... I play an HR main, and am not in one of the major PvP guilds, yet I love to PvP. I'm in there most every day at least two or three times, and not just for the paltry AD. Maybe 20 times on a weekend. I'm not afraid to PuG…
-
+1 I agree with rayrdan that 40% crit is not through the roof, but it is likely significant enough at present to handle most of your needs unless you are fighting 4K IL teams in PvP all the time. Also make sure your ArPen is where you need it. At least 60% for PvE. As much as you can gather for PvP. This is not directly…
-
Sorry for wall-o-text. It's what I do. I was in the match described here with the OP...my guildie. We were three and went into Dom for a semi-PuG with two randoms after waiting nearly a half hour for GG to pop. It went just as related. And I was not taken aback at all to see humanity and civility in PvP. It is much like…
-
Guilds can be cesspools of drama and bad behavior...often created by or tolerated by leadership. They can also be very well-run and centered on members' best interests rather than those of the leaders. That said, individual players can certainly be jerks themselves, and if someone takes the time to organize, govern and…
-
Absolutely no disrespect intended, but this one confused me...my question in sincere and not smart-ashed. Unless I'm missing something, your question would imply that you feel this game has run its course and should be ended. Your specific reason(s) are not stated in your brief question, but that seems to be the general…
-
Agreed...the difference in my recently changing paragon within HR is so dramatic it is downright ridiculous. You are right, silverdunari...as soon as I switched paragons, but for appearance and gearing, it was as though I was playing an entirely different character. Of course, not as dramatic as switching to a GF Tank alt…

I've not read this entire thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating something which has already been mentioned. I recently left my mostly PvE guild for one which (though not PvP only) runs a LOT of PvP and has some highly-ranked players. I PvP a lot and it fits my need better. Just last night a buddy of mine, another HR who…

Tried to do 9:30 herald run...dc'ed twice while waiting around for dragons to spawn. 1st time reconnected back into my good instance. 2nd time, connected back into an instance with no one there...my original instance was full. Wasted 15 minutes. Grrr. Then went to run Domination. No DC but HORRIBLE lag. What can I say?…
-
Agree with liritihiel...I have the Vanguard as well. I pop it frequently in PvP matches and Herald runs. Hate to just repeat what's already been said, but the beneift of both the party buffs and the artifact stats seems a good deal better than the other options. Of course, this is totally a matter of opinion, but there's…
-
And thanks again, Daggon. Just got done with my refining now that I have a clue. Use Res Stones to get my main hand from blue to purple, and used all those useless stacks of rank four and five enchants to get three artifacts from blue to purple. I've also used enchants and saved-up Thaumaturge stones to boost every slotted…
-
Well thanks for that...guess I'll be using those stones for my main hand. Of course I knew about the stones of Power, Union and Stability, but was not aware that res stones are just for Equipment. Now that I look at the description on the stones, it is glaringly obvious. I'll use my gems for the regular artifacts. Much…

OP here checking in. The first time I went into a PvP match, one of my teammates pm'ed me at the end of the beating we took and firmly requested of me "Please do not PvP again...ever". I'll never forget it. I felt bad and I felt clueless, and I knew I'd let my teammates down in that match. Probably ticked several people…
