Well, that's the last arena match/tournament i'll be participating in. So thanks for organising it Xan and Cap'n

Hopefully I can shed some light on this for you

The invisibility suppression on take effect if you;

1- Attack a target
2- Click on an interactive object e.g. A "Glowie"

Clicking other players etc will not unhide you and no self/team powers will drop it either (A least I believe that is correct for the team).

Not sure about the Steamy Mist question, as i've not used Storm before. But there is nothing in the power description about it not being able to stack with other powers. And SS is the only power that doesn't grant it's -perc in PvP.

If you don't use Powerboost (Although an amazing! power for controllers) and plan to solo a lot, Hibernate would be very, very useful. I suppose though being an illusion controller there aren't many 'true' holds and you wouldn't gain much benefit from PB, but your Storm side would

And yes, Blizzard does scatter mobs, but they run very slowly due to -spd and are normally caught through the whole animation period.

Hopw that helps some. Of course any ommissions/corrections are welcome

With a malicious grin, Hatespawn turns to Pistol. "Well done for getting us out. But let get out of here, the fresh air is making me feel sick...""

"A man after my own black heart..." Hatespawn smirked as he surveyed the destruction around him.

Marveled at the power of these 'bullets' he wondered how his worked. True his was a race of industry, but such weapons of chaos had never been forged. Gripping the ornate handles on the pistols, he raised these weapons given to him. The pistols start to vibrate gently and cover themselves in a dark shroud. Suddenly, dark trails begin to drift from the fallen bodys around him, faint screams filling the room.

A guard enters the room and the pistols automatically arm themselves, ready for action. In a blur Hatespawn opens fire, bullets made of forged souls begin ripping into their target, burning away the guards body.

"Interesting..."

"Where am I from...? My world was a paradise, a relative to what you would call Eden I believe. My race were the lower beings on the planet, birthed in the core of the world, beneath the thick rock that formed the planet's surface. We were forced to work powering the generators and systems for the world above ours, unknowing to the people that populated it. Only to the ruling establishment, a council of Mystics that sealed us in our rocky tomb."

As Hatespawn talks, his eyes begin to glow a dark red.

"But I found a way out... An energy source close to the core, hidden from where all but the most hardy dare to tread. A gem that magnified my rage, my hate and my passion for domination over those who dare to oppress me" He gleefully rubs his hands together.

"I escaped. I ran riot through their streets. Slaughtering every living thing I could find be it man, woman or child. With a following of my people we destroyed the coucil of mystics and took the world for our own. Bringing machinery and death to the surface. Putting MY mark on a work that sought to hold me. They believed they could do it on this planet too, but I have other ideas..."

((My bad ))

A strange gurgling noise erupts from Hatespawn's throat. At first it sounds like a deep rumble, but with the increasing pitch somewhat reselmbles what is known as laughter.

"Of course, I mean no disrespect. Whilst we are all in this situation together, we will have to rely on each other to help regain our power bases"

A smirk runs across his face.

"And i'm not in the mood for picking out your skull and brain matter from under my nails..."

"Bah, honour is for those who lack strength. A justification for the weak that they tried their best but were too weak to succeed" He turns and snorts.

Listening to Pistols last remarks, Hatespawn ponders the fact he may have misjudged this race.

"You speak well meatsack, the talk of war and death make me tingle with a pleasure only I can feel"

Pausing for a moment, he gathers himself to speak again. Hatespawn turns to Pistol.

"You've proven to me that you humans do thirst for destruction and industry, take pleasure in agony and pain. Perhaps my skills can be of use to you? My powers were taken from me and until I can get them all back, i'll be vunerable. But do not take this as a sign of weakness, lack of magical ability won't stop me ripping you limb from limb if you double cross me..."

Seeing the ensuing chaos, Hatespawn turns to the men following him and barks at them to join the fray.

He closes his eyes and begins an incantation in a deep, unearthly voice. His words seem to get louder and louder as the same translucent oily substance starts to seep from his body.

Within seconds the substance vapourises and covers the guards in a thick black smoke, blinding them.

"Perhaps that helps some..."

Hatespawn chuckles to himself. "Cretins don't know what's good for them. But I will need help establishing a power base once we get out..."

Turning to the minions following him, Hatespawn grinned with manic glee. "Come on boys, we've got work to do..."

With that he turns and follows Pistol and Shift down the corridor.

As Shift and Pistol emerge from the cell, two more guards come flying past them.

"Whaaaaaaa......" One guard catches between some steel stairs, snapping his neck like a ragdoll. The second guard climbs back to his feet. Quickly looking around, the guard runs in the opposite direction to where he came from. Beneath his feet a patch of what looks to be oil spreads around him. Within seconds, the oil covers the guard, moving up his body and filling his mouth. Through muffled screams his body spasms under the strange substance. Slowly it drips back off of his body, revealing a now fleshless skeleton beneath.

Pistol and Shift look at each other, a little disturbed by what they've just seen. In a flash, the substance becomes translucent and almost screams on a psychic level, mimicing the last cries of the guard it insnared. As they look down into the pool a large cloven hoof drops into it. Hatespawn stands there, absorbing the substance into his body. His muscles begin to fill and his body cracks with bones re-aligning.

"Mmmmmm, now that feels gooooood..." Hatespawn turns to look at the two escapees in the cell. "What? Want the address of my tailor? We've got a chance to get out of here, and i'm sure not hanging around. So you gonna help or just stand there?"

((lol, nice one Shift, you've laid that out better than most transcripts i've seen ))

((It's fine ))

Hatespawn ground to a halt. Looking Tommy up and down he grinned.

"And exactly what do you think you can do for me little man?"

I still can't access my fecking account. I've emailed Support and have been told hopefully when the RegDB is reset it should free the account.

Failing that, seeing as this has been the 3rd time now this has happened when using the arena, i'm just withdrawing from PvP. The occasional fracas in a zone seems to work fine, and that's how it'll stay till they can sort out the bugs

IT'S SAYING MY ACCOUNT IS STILL LOGGED IN!!!!!!!!

Can we bet on the results? I bet a couple of mill inf on team6 first round, and team 13 second round.

Hmmm, betting seems to be going against me and my teams

We'll see hey...

Just trying to get to grips with the whole video recording/demo editing thing and finally came up with this

I PWN!

Now i have the hang of it, onto bigger things!!!!

Deep within the bowels of Ziggursky Pen, Hatespawn stirred. Captured by the Statesman 5 years ago and bound to a stone tablet by the Mystics of M.A.G.I his anger knew no limitation, but unable to pull away from the tablet that held him he could do nothing more than think up new ways to kill his captors.

Only a decade ago, Hatespawn ruled his realm with fear and oppression. A god amongst lower beings, he reigned with an iron fist, creating industry and filling the skies with thick black smog, obliterating the light supplied by the planet's twin sun.

Being held captive had driven him almost to the brink of insanity, caged like a rat, unable to quench his demoic urges for vengence.

Suddenly, Hatespawn felt another presence. Another filled with hate and dark feelings, his equal in brutal aggression and unsubdued rage.

An apparition appeared to walk through the walls of his cell. A femenine figure with tight black leather and long flowing white hair.

"Long enough have you been a captive of these fools..."

With a mystery incantation from the stranger, Hatespawn's stone prison begins to glow, tendrils of black vapour moving throughout the containing room. In a dark flash, Hatespawn stood tall in the middle of his cell, no longer held back by the confines of his living tomb, but free!

"Now, Hatespawn... A destiny awaits you, one you've been longing for all these years. A chance to reap your vengance upon those who sought to hold you!" And with that, the stranger de-materialised.

Where she stood lay a pair of pistols with runes covering the sides of the slide and an ornate glyph etched into the stock. Hatespawn picked it up and grinned.

"Heh... Now that's what i'm talking about..." And with an almighty roar, kicked down his cell door.

Heading out into the main hallways of the Zig, Hatespawn breaks open the cells of neighbouring inmates and as payment asks them to join him in his escape and conquest of everything on Earth...

Nice Looks like i'll have some good teams.

I'll contact you guys via E-mail (In game) to see if you have Teamspeak etc

Bud, I really wouldn't put your email address for everyone to see. Most people wouldn't think a thing about it, but there is a minority out there who might want to sign you up to things you might never want to recieve. Just a warning, but i've notified Mod to edit it outanyway

Cya LW.

At least you have a nice shiny medal to remind you of the time you spent here

Nice one Kron Gratz

Congratz! How can i have missed that?

Yup rin is perma with 2 SO's. Duration of 120, recharge of 120.5, but i never really use it on perma anyway, only before i go into a fight though always useful to have ready if needed.

For stun, i have a very clear idea of what i want to use it for, mainly used with TP for annoyance's like Stormies and Bubbles like everclear said. 3 slotted with duation can give you quite an advantage as you have lots of time to play with.

I may change the power order a little, but am definately keeping to that build.
