Got jumped by a random lvl 80 DT in Keshatta when I was lvl 72. That means I was grey to him. I circle strafed for about 5-10 minutes around him, lolzoring in tells and asking where he bought his account, with my health bar securely above 90%. So at least an unskilled DT is pretty useless in PvP. (the DT was called Ivsu, unguilded)

That has to do with me being guardian, though.

Like yesterday morning, I got level 74 and was standing next to a guestgiver, the Villa Verde one in Noble Distric, placing my feat point when a lvl 80 barbie unstealths behind me and starts wailing on me. I took some damage, with his stuns and all, but didn't go below 75% health. Then I whapped a kb on him, and didn't attack more, making it obvious I wasn't at all concerned about his ability to hurt me. He was giving up and backing away, and once there was a bit of distance, he stops and looks at me in disbelief. Well, I switch to frenzy stance (always have def stance on when not fighting to avoid gank), stun charge him, lay a few combos on him, even switch to polearm for second kb and some more dps, and his health bar sinks below 25% within 10 seconds. He ran for his life and stealthed away. (the barbie was Zubba from Captain Morgan's Society)

So, yeah, even with all it's flaws, I'm pretty happy about my class these days. Leveling up helps, since you can patch the weaknesses of your class nicely with feats. I've been loving PvE and PvP a whole lot harder since I got my stun feat, for example.

We sure are getting tweaked....closer toward WoW prot warriors with zero dps every patch. Except now they took invulnerabilities out of PvP too, so we're doubly screwed.

And did you notice how they took away all our mounted combat maneuvers from basic riding training? It's nerf nerf nerf nerf -> crap, the way things are going imo.

But the RP is still might sweet, isn't it?

Also, lvl 63, you mangy nubs! Who wants to be ganked! I can still out-dps lvl 30 healing pots at least, even after the nerf.

Aquilonia server is fricking RP heaven for me right now, and we have the whore guild (Dark Desires), and I'm in a super awesome hardcore RP guild so I won't be changing, no matter how much ganking goes on, which is not much for me at the moment. Add me to your friend list (Frehiard) when you have the chance, and post your ingame name here so I can add you too. Will hook you up with some of my sexy guildies! My guild name is Aetherity, so if you see that tag you can assume they'll respond IC if you say something IC. Other good RP guilds I know of are the Dark Desires, Northwind Free Company, The Enclave, Sons of Camulus and Heirs of Ascension, just off the top of my head. Have fun, and if you're Necro, Demo, DT or Guardian, reroll while you're still low lvl!

Yay Mehken, happy birthday you big old green guy!

added more pixx

I'm lvl 30. Server is Aquilonia (RP-PvP).

And it launches on the 20th, for us pre-orderers. 23rd for regular people.

Acting Captain's Log

Stardate: 20080419.2245

Commander Jason Ikas commanding USS Endeavour.

We arrived at the planet Kuu for our scheduled survival training last evening and began it this morning. All was proceeding well, until a sudden electromagnetic field of unknown origin disrupted potential communication with the Endeavour. Fearing for the safety of all involved, I aborted the training mission and we all returned to the ship. Upon returning, we determined that the planet itself had emitted the field at several points on its surface. Why, we have been unable to determine. We will do what studies we can, but a full science expedition should be mounted in order to more thoroughly investigate the phenomena on Kuu.

A note to Starfleet Cartography: Recommend that Kuu be marked as hazardous and that civilian ships be advised to avoid the planet.
A note to Starfleet Operations: Recommend that Kuu not be used for survival training purposes in future, due to potential for loss of communications, severe seismic disturbances and unpredictable and severe weather patterns. These factors combine to make the probability of loss of life in a training exercise on the planet to be quite high.
A Note to Starfleet Cartography: Recommend that Kuu be marked as hazardous and that civilian ships be advised to avoid the planet. Also recommend that Kuu's planetary class be reviewed with an eye for changing it to class Q (variable), due to recent drastic changes in the ecosystem.

I had fun, which is the most important thing.

It went from a 7-person clusterfuck to afk-waiting and back, and we just barely managed to get the plot started. It takes way longer than I remembered.
