Week 3 of PvP - Statistics and Discussion

[slauki]

same shit different week. won't go into discussions about anything atm, since every discussion every argument is damn old.

one curious fact:
only 78 people managed to get more than 2100 points and claim the rewards. interesting that 250 people can claim the
Warlord III rank. and nothing will get easier next week, so we are at some point and we will stay there, if nothing changes...

my stats (no prisoner):

I noticed this as well. I believe that the current VP requirements for those ranks may be way too high. 78 out of 250 total? That's a LOT of missed rewards for players who deserve it. Hopefully the devs have enough stats by now to start making some welcome changes to PVP.

I'll throw my stats in here. Can see that it's really just a toss up. Sorry about your luck slauki.

I was Rank 94 last week. 2044 points. Attack Wins was 69%(106/154), Defense Wins 5% (2/43). No prisoner, no troll, no SSD. I still am either not showing up on anyone's list, or only showing up on people with way more points who don't want to take the chance.

I have to start checking my offense, as I've rushed in to many times with my dummy team.

As to the void shield. I've had a problem when I use it, of it sometimes failing to do anything. It shows the shield, but no reflected damage, no apparent reduction in damage. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether the prisoner should be able to hit me if I'm invisible. I've had that happen a couple of times, the rest of the team misses but he still hits. Skill, or bug?

Hey Askora,believe true damage penetrates all shields,could be wrong tho. Also I don't usually attack invisible toons with my Prisoner but if I get the chance I'll try it! Bug for sure though if that's the case. Couple times a week I've attacked with different toons & there has been no damage,no sound effect & no toon movement. There's still a lot of bugs to iron out.

[Askora]

Not just true damage characters that avoid the shield. Maybe it quits working if one with true damage hits first. Think that'd be another bug. I haven't paid enough attention, but I do know that it wasn't teams comprised of only true damage.

I'd say if you got the prisoner it's definitely worth trying. Although, I don't think I can even select an opponent to attack if they're invisible.

Also there's piercing & penetrating talismans. Not sure exactly what all they do cuz u can't trust description. I.E. void shield doesn't tell u it has a chance to remove beneficial effects until u actually view the description in battle.

I've noticed that the Prisoner's "transfer negative effects" skill still works on vanished toons. He won't be able to directly damage a vanished toon, but he will be able to transfer status effects like blind, def down, burns, etc. This is definitely a bug as vanished toons should be both invincible and immune to status effects. I'm not sure if the devs are aware of this one, but hopefully they are reading these threads to see it.

[Askora]

I use the piercing talisman on my maxed RTTH, but only in campaign as he just can't take the damage in pvp without cutting his attack way down. It doesn't work against shields in campaign. When it activates, it's impressive to watch him dish out 5 or 6 hits of 14,000+ when he gets on a roll. If I could figure out a way to keep him standing, I'd love to try him in pvp. But, my experience is that it doesn't negate the shield, it just negates the DEF stat.

I usually like to figure stuff out on my own but I'm sure if u ask,when it's busier,or search there's probably a post that has all talisman descriptions,if u feel so inclined.
Have had my Prisoner taunted by an SSD that was invisible & it did nothing. That's not to say it doesn't happen occasionally tho

[Askora]

I read through the guides while making my character builder spreadsheet. Obviously spending way too much time on this game.

I haven't had an invisible taunt yet, but I've seen an SSD with invisibility talisman, he just didn't get the chance to use it.
