Phial of Mazauk's resolve broken

Ahoy fellow monsters!
Yesterday i've gotten some of these fine dof pots and I was glad since they remove fear and those purple ordinary ones are rubbish at removing fear and other LM purple debuffs. I got feared quite a lot since I'm a WL and I can't do squat if that happens. So as I mentioned i got the pots, got into a fight, get feared use normal pot, get feared again plus some happy other LM stacking debuffs and I pott this elite pro fear removal pot. Oh heck, nothing happened, i was generally shocked. Next battle same situation nothign happened again. So i'm just asking if this is a well known issue or is it just happening to me?

Petitioning - A long shot, but worthwhile

Hello my fellow creeps and freeps!

Today I have posted in the Suggestions forum a new thread petitioning for a Shadows of Angmar Book 15 Classic server. I know it is a long shot. I realize Turbine probably won't look at it. But you know what else is a long shot? Waiting for Turbine to balance PvMP and give us back the old mechanics that made it fun. They have stated repeatedly that they have no plans for future development.

So if they have no further plans for us, then why can't we go back in time, back to when PvMP was at its peak fun and was actually almost balanced? I would gladly level my freep from scratch for this. Even enjoying the old content on-level is worth a server and a subscription for it. I never did see it all, anyway.

If you feel the same way, and would like to PvMP on a server that is frozen in time and safe from the side-effects of adding more levels and new gear, then I ask you to please both read and sign the petition that is linked in my signature below. Don't let the petition thread be buried. Tell Turbine you are willing to pay a monthly sub for this server. Maybe, just maybe, if they see enough dollar signs and enough petitioners, they'll listen.

Server To Start A Tribe On?

A group of friends/kinmates/raid-groupmates is pondering starting a Tribe on another server to avoid the 'conflict' that can sometimes appear in playing creeps on the same server as your freep. The question came up of how to choose another server for the perhaps dozen or so folks that may set up some regular 'creep nights'. I suggested 'level of activity' as a factor. Wondering if anybody has a suggestion as to what the top 2 or 3 active PVMP servers might be and/or what other factors we should consider in choosing one if we move forward with the idea.

Add a Can't Be Defeated buff to Dying Rage!

That's it.. The current dying rage is so useless because of recent DPS upgrades the freeps got. almost 95% of the time you dye before you do your thing with dying rage. If you have a better idea please share and please do something about it Turbine.

Not getting renown/comms for kills

Anyone else notice they aren't getting credit properly when killing the opposing faction? I was in a fight at an OP today with a ranger and just myself. I died but definitely did damage to the two creeps there. One of them died and I got no credit for the kill. It happened yesterday too so I was wondering if anyone else noticed an issue with this?

RK too powerful?

I am level 84 rank 2 with no Aud gear and I soloed the troll at the River OP. I was traited heal but with dps bag and stone. I mean this troll is 240k and I am only 6k. OK it did take me a while to do it but should this happen? Also creeps struggle to take me down. I mean they do kill me but they should be doing it easier.

I tried to solo the troll on my hunter but could only get it down to 75k and that is level 85 with Aud gear.

This is on withy server.

1v1 Is Stupid And A Dumb Idea.

So today (5/17/13) I was at GTA Watching a bunch of 1v1 matches just because I like seeing who will win in all these awesome fights. I noticed a Warg who ganked (Attacked without warning) a r4 Runekeeper. This is reason #1 of why I hate 1v1.
You never know which creeps are actually playing by the rules of 1v1 (Jump around the player you want to spar with; If the player jumps back, he accepts) and you never know which creeps are out there just ganking you. That is the reason I stay back a bit, close to the riverside. So here comes the same Warg that ganked the RK. I did what anyone would do, walked the other direction. He kept following me for about 10 seconds and then I didn't see him for the next 30 seconds or so. Then while I was in the middle of eating a tasty bowl of cereal I hear the sound of a Warg's Gnarl. I realized this mf' was attacking me now! I quickly tried to retaliate but had to chance. I died, respawned, and went back to the camp in hopes that the Warg was satisfied with ganking. I started watching a few more fights and I noticed the same gosh damn Warg ganking another r4 rk! I wanted revenge so I put heartseeker on him and beat his Warg-tooshie in 6.5 seconds. I was satisfied with my revenge. Then a mob of creeps mobbed me, like I thought they would. I didn't care though because I got what I came for. I went back to the camp to watch a few more fights and before I knew it *BAM* hits another wave of creeps on my &&&. Again I respawned and head back to GTA to watch a few fights, this time using stealth. NOPE! They got me again. Creeps on Gladden are nothing but butthurt looser. Also, I was once called a farmer for killing a noob Warg 5 times yet 1v1ing is exactly like farming. Anyways I think Gladden's PvP system is practically S**t. Anyways just wanted to get this story off my chest. Thanks for reading. Have a great day.

I'm Confused

Why would changing KB deeds entice more players to come to the Ettenmoors?


The people that aren't there now don't go there because it will take them so long to get their KB deeds, they don't go because they just aren't interested in that aspect of the game. Allowing players to complete these deeds even quicker won't entice new players, it will just alienate older players who spent time completing the deeds.


I would ask you to revert the change (I assume it's already live since U11 is here?), but I know how opposed to reverting changes game developers are. How about you actually listen to the PvMP community next time? Ask us our opinions about changes you're thinking of implementing, because that certainly doesn't happen now. I just finished reading that whole thread of people who are upset about the new change, and I was amazed that the developers have completely ignored it. I know there are plenty of blue names that browse the forums, as I see so many threads locked by them.


Use the forums as a tool to communicate with us and get our opinions about things. You'd have happier players for one thing.

Sincerely, a disgruntled player

Skills Greyed Out?

Recently I've had my skills greyed out for a long time while fighting a creep. Maybe 4-5 times this week, at least once vs a warg and once vs a reaver. It's never happened on my champ, only my burg. I'm sure there is some simple explanation like a store bought fear or some bug. It's happened a few time just east of Lugz rez and also west of Grothum. It's annoying because I almost always die before I regain the use of my skills. Any idea why this is happening?

Insignia's

The freep-side insignia now only works OUT of combat (at least for me). Can't file a bug report, since that isn't working and ingame ticket didn't solve it either.

What I find very weird is that my Insignia now only works when I'm not in combat. However, it only removes negative COMBAT-states. So in other words, when I'm getting stunned that puts me into combat. I have an insignia to counter that, but can't use it since I'm in combat and the insignia only works out of combat.

Have more seen this issue? So far I've asked around and more have it. And if this is how it is now, can someone then explain the logic to me please... how is an insignia which can only be used OUT of combat, helpfull against things that put you INTO combat :S It would make sense if there was a min or so immunity like in the good days, but now it's kinda a messed up item. But might be me ^^ I hope I'm bugged tbh, cause it doesn't make sense to me at all.

Godmode Weavers

Something needs to be done about the godmode status of ranked Weavers in Ettenmoors. As a Guardian I have basically zero chance of defeating a half-skilled player with a ranked (or Store) Spider.


-Fear Spam :CDs need to be increased or eliminate one of the Fears
-Heal Spam : How many 7k+ heals should Spiders have?

Now I realize ranged and tactical classes can defeat spiders and Burgs can CC them but as a Guardian I have extremely limited CC (2-3 stun, must crit) and have to fight in melee range of course.

Either nerf Weavers OR give Guardians more CC

Absolute bs

A rank 12 hunter two rank six hunters and a unranked tank can not take out a spider and a reaver ? with full audacity gear on them all explain that one to me awe gee we let the creeps buy to many skills from the store that's why .

Ignoring the community

There are certain things that both creeps and freeps agree on and constantly are pleading for changes (OP buffs, new map, sanctioning multiboxers and farmers, to name few) and yet, get ignored by ones responsible..
If 99% of pvmp population suggests something, shouldn't the devs take it into consideration, instead of ignoring it?
Why "fixing" something that isn't broken and do nothing for things that are?
Now, it seems that Turbine doesn't care about pvmp population AT ALL!
With tendencies like that, they are forcing people to go back to f2p and explore Middle Earth outside of Moors borders.
If nobody from Turbine sees problem in that...

BA Corruptions

I currently have traited:

4 Mastery Boosts

1 Health for Power(r2)

1 Crit Chance

Went for the glass-cannon approach here, seeing as traiting crit def/tactical mits would only extend my life for a couple of seconds maybe.

What does everyone else trait?

2. Rune-keepers should now properly receive Battlefield promotions in the Ettenmoors.

3. Six new Critical Rating Corruptions have been added to all Monsterplay classes.

4. All brands and Insignia that gave 60 seconds of immunity to various Crowd Control effects have had their effect durations reduced to 20 seconds.

5. Using any Brand or Insignia results in a 60 second lock out from using another.


Stalker

6. Wargs should now have access to Critical Rating Corruptions.
7. The amount of Critical Rating granted from the Critical Rating corruptions has been increased.
______________________________ ______________________________ _________________________

1. True, but worst decition ever if you ask me. I already made use of the new bug tool to bug it.

2. Dont know, dont really care. but also suspect this to be "old news".

3. False

4. False. My brand still only offers 10seconds immunity.

5. False. all brands have a shared cooldown.

6. True, but we also did prior to U11.

7. False, is still at 1717 critaical rating like it was prior to U11. Would be nice with a magnitude fix still though.

In conclution, can we please have the real patch notes?

(And dosnt look suspect at all that Deed accelerators is on 25% off sale after this horrible Deed change.)

Question re: U11 Ettenmoors changes

I'm trying to figure out what in the patch notes is true and what may be left over from old notes? I don't see any new critical rating corruptions, and I don't think it appears any of the crit rating has been raised. Also, my Mordi brand is still only 10 seconds and my R9 brand is still, in essence, a pot. Finally, if RKs were not already receiving BFPs correctly, may Sauron have mercy on us!! The only thing that I actually see is the change to the way deeds/quests advance. Could someone confirm if this is correct?

According to the patch notes: The Ettenmoors

Quests and Deeds that require the defeat of Players or Monster Players will now advance for all contributors, not just the player who dealt the final blow.
Rune-keepers should now properly receive Battlefield promotions in the Ettenmoors.
