RE: Cowards

Ok...regarding the villains missing their ambushes, this happens in CoH as well. Usually what happens is this:

You get a mission. An ambush heads your way from half way across the zone. You fly off, not even realizing an ambush is coming. You head to another zone, again not aware of the ambush happening. The ambush gets to it's target location and stands there not knowing where you are.

Some hapless level 5 runs on by, not checking their cons as they're running through Mercy and gets spanked down.

High level characters don't generally hang out in Mercy. There's no real point to it. It's not like Atlas in CoH where it's a "hub" between a lot of zones. The zones are laid out in kind of a straight shot. Mercy -> Port Oakes -> Cap au Diable -> Sharkhead -> Nerva Archipelago -> St Martial.

If I were in the area, I'd gladly clean up a screwed up ambush, since I've eaten dirt because of it before.

Now, regarding the PvP thing, I think you'll find more people hanging out in Cap au Diable than you will in the PvP zones. Personally, with Ruby Widow, I've been in a PvP zone ONCE, and that was only because a contact sent me there (this was before they changed it so that you could talk to the PvP contact in the respective connection zone). Once I hit level 40 with her, I'll probably go in the zones long enough to get my badges and then get out.

RE: Cowards

::: I promise to be good :::

That being said. It's a little harsh to call other players cowards over this "accidental" situation. I believe that the "lost ambush" happens, but I am sure it's not on purpose. Believe me, I feel your pain. BUT a proactive approach would be to either Petition or Bug the situation, or at the very least go to the Official Boards and post about this situation. There is enough wonky code in this game, but the Devs cant fix a situation they dont know about. I would head over there and do it myself, but I'm busy hanging out with my buds in Warburg----JUST KIDDING---LOL.

Also, if the situation arises again, give the higher level guys a chance to rectify the situation. Do a /SEARCH and send a /Tell to an appropriate level villain to help you by clearing the baddies away from the door. You may just find that there are people willing to help. I know I would.

RE: Cowards

3 and 1 half hopurs were given to the great upper lvl villiand. It was taken care of by a 17th lvl and her friend with my small help. No other villians showed up

RE: Cowards

You know...as much as I hate to say it...Too Bad.

People are playing VILLAINS. Bad guys. Bad guys do bad things, plain and simple. If someone left a high level ambush there, even on purpose, that's a real shame.

I was quickly shot down by a high level ambush when Ruby was a newbie. I laughed my butt off at it because I was watching people drop like flies as they were one-shot on the way by. Everyone that was taken out was under level 10, so there was no debt accrued, that's what made it funny. No harm, no foul. Just senseless violence. :)

Now, from the Nice Guy Player standpoint, it is rude to leave an ambush behind if you actually KNOW it's coming. However, in most cases, if it's a high level ambush in a low level zone, the originator has left the zone LONG before anyone notices that the ambush is there. In CoH, I don't know HOW many times I've seen high level Devouring Earth tromping through Steel Canyon because someone grabbed a mission and took off. I've also seen Level 49 Artemis baddies by the train in Steel Canyon before, beating the crud out of heroes left and right. These things happen.

Also, if you petition it, it's not going to get fixed. It's not a bug. The support folks have stated time and again that NO PLACE is safe in the game except perhaps the hospital.

RE: Cowards

One more thing to add here... if you see this sort of thing, use the Request chat to ask if any upper level villains can help out. If you use Broadcast, that only extends to the map you are on, and Mercy doesn't generally have a lot of high level people there. Request covers ALL zones, and you never know if someone will be nice enough to jump over and take care of it. Don't let one bad day sour your disposition to everyone in this game.

RE: Cowards

Or you can ask if anyone of similar level just finished a mission in that zone involving the particular baddies in the Ambush, they may not know about the Ambush as was stated but might rectify the situation if they are notified.
