  • I don't think anyone really wants to remove prone, just the synergy between it, combat advantage, and bull charge raw damage. If it's a proning control power then reduce the damage, that simple. IF they normalize PVE damage with PVP (or whatever the theory is) more damage occurs and satisfies the concern that no one…
  • Indeed, Like I mentioned before, balance the two effects (control/damage burst). Prone, in general, is a nice mechanic in that it allows a different type of control (variety is good, cw icy rays is another example). The combat advantage + prone is nasty, exacerbated by the duration of said control effect. I believe GF also…
  • I agree with your intended point, i.e. that ArP changes could possibly create "control-based, striker-lite DPSers, and that different Q's are a great idea. However, I disagree with your conclusion (all due respect :smile: ) about heavy armor vs light armor control and cc resist. GF is one of the most cc…
  • In the beginning (pre-tenacity), SE was rarely used with TR. Most of the really good pvp rogues ran some form of permastealth with high INT/r10 silvery and p. bilethorn. Along with Bloodbath and Lurker's. As far as I remember, SE was the only piercing damage IN THE WHOLE GAME. It was not a very good finishing move either,…
  • Not only a shame. It...will...die (with a Charlton Heston accent)
  • Taking out the ArP suppression from tenacity then adding back a %RI nerf to ArP is INSANE. Take away piercing, great. HR and TR will need a way to actually have a role as a DPSer versus tanks/DCs. Whats the freaking point of playing a TR/HR? "Contol-TRs or Control-HRs"? LOL, great thinking. @xsayajinx1 and @thefabricant…
  • I hope they make GG soloQ also. That would be fun and more chaotic in team-sorting. :)
  • SoloQ event yay! Make it permanent!
  • Hell yeah devs Woooo! Everyone come out kill each other, I'll strip down and run nekkid through pvp matches with the other PuGs. B) Next step: make it permanent and take time to fix it overall. <3
  • @mimicking#6533 @nitocris83 Please at least try to test it again during the summer at least. Maybe the festival. It brings back a lot of older players that quit and may swell up the soloQ to truly exhibit its potential.
  • Great thread. Hope this important discussion never dies. PVP needs an overhaul.
  • Still no word as to why this is (seemingly) being scrapped? @mimicking#6533 @nitocris83 Perhaps they should consider the soloQ as a non-competitive league vs the 5 man "competitive league". Not-so-different when I played intramural basketball in grad school, i.e. they had this type of tiered system. Hell I like playing…
  • I started in closed beta. Can't believe it's been that long. I wish I still had my Caturday cloak...used that on one of those CN purple necklace drops (BiS at the time, no artifact eq :neutral: ) Ha! I still have my ethereal cloak on my main CW. More of a collectable than of any practical use. Cheers, it's been a long and…
  • I won a tenser's in the original dropbox (Lockbox of the Magnificent Emporium) with my CW. I love it visually, but it is best used for oppressor in pvp (high recovery/deflect). I still use it in pve though. I can be lazy with my cooldowns/spell twisting.
  • Great question. I would like to know this. Do we have to have two sets of enchantments in the inv at all times? Sorry if that was a dumb question. I need to go on preview maybe :smiley:
  • I think SE 1shot counters much in the current HAMSTER-storm called pvp. They need to re-work all one-rotation GF's with super-240 deg shields, piercing HR, near-invincible OP/DC's THEN fix execTR tree. I feel sorry for the poor SW and GWF's, although, there are some sick SW's and GWF's out there. Cheers to you guys/gals.…
  • I understand your point, but I empathize with the OP. It's hard to walk away from the game if you paid into it, and before anyone yaps about "that's yooooour fault", consider that people that spend $ in the game help fund the rest of the true free-to-players (I am fine with this :smiley: ). I feel a little jipped…
  • Have the Devs weighed in on this lately? Came back to pvp last night and it was a WASTELAND. It took me 15 min to get into a match :(
  • +1 Much of this was the way it was pre-tenacity. They tried to lazily fix imbalance with that horrid implementation (Tenacity), i.e. bandaid on a gunshot wound. My question is WHY. Anyone with common sense can see these festering issues. Is it just not enough billable hours? Is the $ generated from this (small) pvp…
  • That is unfortunate that this ruins your experience. Looking at it objectively, PVP will either improve or completely devolve into a wasteland so perhaps my advice was a little off topic. I was just speaking to those that project and reflect hostility and egomania, i.e. stop the madness by having a greater perspective.…
  • Or pulling people out of the campfire with singularity (or more like singHilarity...HAHAHAHAHA...ehhhh sorry). This was back in the old days of no tenacity, awesome shards in mastery slot, bilethorns, and permastealthers >:) . It seems to me that online gaming veils the intentions and emotions of all people participating.…
  • I concur with Rustlord :D This build is just another role, i.e. anti-tank. With the new set I can hit with 200k+ at the start of the match to kill DC/GWF/SW/Hr (non-fox's cunning). High recovery/AP spammeister can take care of CW/TR/GF/HR. It's about roles on the team. If you dare to think different in pvp you get grief.…
  • This is my observation, it actually uses a constant 6-9% CPU and keeps up the read/write on the HD. I tried deleting the exe and the ARC program had a conniption fit and crashed/repaired. Just like nvidia's HAMSTER insistence on forcing a login to use the Experience program, at least they don't require it to update GPU…
  • I wouldn't say a VAST majority, just quite a few within certains guilds *AHEM* that seem to have nothing else to do in life than troll soloQers, PuGS, or whatever... +1 on the statemant about Cryptic...COME ON guys let's make this HAMSTER permanent. :smiley:
  • I agree with OP that stacking grind every module is going to alienate new players, which robs Cryptic of new players willing to spend money to support the game. It's funny how obvious this is becoming. I have seen many Zone chat discussions addressing this, and I have spoken with many new and old players myself about…
  • Maybe two separate matchmaking processes? SoloQ can use the current method, and PreQ (real name for 5v5 :p ) can use a modified one that matches 3v3, 4v4, or 5v5, maybe lobby added for this? Mehbeee Mehbeee not.
  • I need to submit a ticket and I keep getting this error on all browsers. Tried on my phone...no dice. I am unable to claim any of the Black Friday Charge Promo Event rewards. It gives me an error and asks me to submit a ticket. :#
