How to fix PvP

[___________Manchilde]

simple solution:

set everything back to uncapped dmg, and put a flag int he code to not roll for crit chances in PvP (i.e. you will only crit in PvM)

then all the fast sucky weapons in the game will have a chance, and it would solve most of the problems.

Hell, then all single skill weapons would be inferior tot he ones with multiple specials.....PvP would then be all about speed and tactics, with low overall dmg per shot

what do you think?

(btw, I havent really thought of all the implications this may have, but I am sure that comeone will point out the flaws....I look forward to the rebuttal)

U don't max duck-exp? well then, prepare to get owned by hammers, beems and shotguns. Crits are calculated by ur duck-exp skill and ur oponents attack skills. And btw most high lvl ppl are turning agains using flashpoint, novas and other 3 spes guns for pvp. Thats bec 3 spes still owns...

Agents...
I've been hit for 2,2k as in pvp more then 1 time, even tho my all my 3 def skills are maxed. Thats because my oponents skills are so mutch higer then my dodge-rng skill. And i've also been hit for 1,7 ord dmg from a rifle, so maybe some agants use the wrong rifle for pvp.
Easy to equip??? there is only 2 buffs for shotgun, wrangle and gen +20.
Try have a look on how high rifle u can wield, i gues u will be suprised...

Total Focus buffs shotgun among other attack skills.

I believe Total Focus is self-only, i.e. soldier and agent only

Ok that is one of two and not even something I could use.

hmmmm..

what is the other one (or is there two?)

rofl.. yes we should just take away all weapons and equip everyone with BoP.... i can see it now.. everyone jumping up in the air clapping their legs together in an uber way.

Garz,

Riding shotgun is a Trader dmg buff +14

link here: http://www.hackersquest.org/ao/show....d=30747&item=0

the name is sort of misleading...

There is no shotgun buff in the game besides:

shotgun expertise - +20
wrangle/deprive/ransack lines (traders/agents)- +variable
total focus - soldier/agent only (hehe...req's are highers than even riot control to cast) - +50 to self

thats it....so if you are anything but one of these, the maximum you can ever buff shotgun is +152 from buffs (expertise/premium wrangle)
