I wana make this perfectly clear so that we dont have a repeat case of CoV launch: "I am playing my villain" is not a good enough excuse when someone is really stuck. By really stuck i mean the coalition and said person's regular teams arent available to help. I'm not saying i'm gonna kick people for not helping, that would be somewhat demented on my part, but please take a moment to go to my 1st post on this thread and asked yourself if you should be helping with these AVs (also, for ppl who need to splat AVs, try and be understanding when asking for help that other people may be equally engrossed in their business, and that you may have to reincheck, but read on for i am rambling as an edit). By all accounts the new AV changes make killing them almost impossible at + levels, and for people who arent as skilled as maybe some of you are with your toons it could be even harder. So... when an AV shout goes, or if you are putting one out, if it isn't answered iwthin a few minutes by a team saying they can help, either start kicking off cos it isnt good enough or reschedule that mission for in 30 mins, half a day, a whole day etc.

My proposed plan is this: give it a week of CoV (i.e. next wednesday), then plan time like this.

Monday, Wednsday, Friday - CoH, please try to play heroes and hero alts, even if it is supporting the people who are still working on their beloved mains

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday - CoV, get in with the villain teams, we are gonna rawk it to 50 i hope, several of us have new toons at level 11+ already, I don;t want people to miss out this time by playing one game or the other, so appreciate some help with coordinating this.

of course, there will be times, like AVs and badge missions where there may be 30 mins, or a few hours mass exodus to Coh or CoV for certain things, like TFs with friends, AVs, hami raids and PvP etc, so we'll see.

Can you also please let me know (here) your thoughts on a dedicated SG PvP happy hour kinda theme? I propose an hour a night where we all just go smash stuff up, gives us chance to team with eachother more and practice for PvP and generally help with SG interaction, rather than distraction. I suggest 8-9 pm, but dont know what days tbh (how about Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday?). please help me out here, as I cannot dictate, only try to coordinate.

Well, as I said I just needs tons of people to do this . Not tons, but some who can make 3d modeling. Cad or anything like that. Plight you can post on the US, can't you? Care to point to this thread and see if we got interested people over there?

[/ QUOTE ]not atm mate, i dont keep my US account open.

pain in the bottom this is as i said before, players having to actually make the game playable for one another, i know it should be hard, and i enjoy a surprise, but spending what is essentially 200 hours of playing on something is not something anyone should take lightly : /

P.S. I pwn u

ok i'm about to leave for work, but i'll be back at 7, let's keep the threads alive eh villains??

KB is what i can opnly dexribe as 'uber' against anyone with no protection from it if u can cycle KB powers quickly.

if i come up against a squishy i and i know their toggles are down or they are easy to KB, i can pretty much guarantee they are dead in 2-3 shots. maybe, just maybe, KB needs nerfing for pvp use, but in pve leave it as it is.

Plight

not totaly true as its easy to TP away even when stood on powers like earthquake.. i've done it enough times to know.

[/ QUOTE ]ok lets see, i7 detoggle rules or not

aim
BU
smack+KB
smack->dead

yup tp works for that. and by 'that' i mean the scenario i was describing, not the one someone imagined i was talking about.

Plight

hey all. Can any of you that know about Martial Arts, Regen or Body Mastery have a read through this post I made to help us out, ta muchly.

Stick a DamRes in MoG so it hits the cap. 2xDefBuff should be plenty in I7.

I admit, I sometimes miss MoG even with aim and BU when I have a ToHit SO in each buff and 2 acc SOs in all powers

Ahoy all, I have delved into Hero Builder to do this. An ingame friend needs a build for his MA/reg and for reasons I won't go into here can't really do it themself. So who better to help than you friendly neighbourhood elec/elec/elec blaster!? So my experiance of MA is issue 2 up to level 28 and I've never played regen other than *cough* mates toon on test *cough* so tbh don't have a clue.

I will post at the bottom a summary of things I think make it strong/weak etc, but would appreciate it if you lot could do the same, and please try to stay on topic. MA and Regen only please, also this is a 50 respec, and I've tried to make it vaguely SC/WB friendly for PvP. The build:

Right so things I think about this build.

Is around 2.1 - 2.5 EPS recovery acceptable for using MA attacks this fast?

Is 1 acc SO enough with FA running this way?

Have I got the right idea for the clicks, or should there be some res SOs in things like DP and MoG?

MoG is slotted as a panic button, not so much a tool, so I have not put recred in it at all?

Should I have put more stun in the MA attacks which accept them, or is it ok to rely on base stun and 2 stun SOs in cobra strike?

Is there a valid (i.e. almost perma) attack chain here, or can we even go as far as to drop a power?

Super Speed is in there as a result of minimum pools and hasten, which powers would you drop to add in CJ+SJ?

I did put a ToHit SO in Focus Chi but then thought if FA was running the overall acc would be skyhigh anyways, so dropped it for other things.

Is 2 endred enough in FA? i checked the EPS recovery and it came out ok, with ALL toggles running the overall recovery is still2.585 EPS with all +3 SOs.

Thanks for you're time on this one, I/we really appreciate it if you can help someone get on better with a toon they've put hundreds of hours into.

Oh, and btw, please ignore the levels, I did a lot of post 50 rearranging, and as I said this is a respec, not a 1-50 plan.

Im up for doing this if I get back online in time.

[/ QUOTE ]omg i pwn you!

Plight

doesnt gimme the salvage to make items to read their detailed descrips, this stuff should be available in the recipe view imho

Plight

actually, also

fire dev blatantly doesnt have the best snipe in the game, cos fire dev doesnt have BU, so is therefore even more gimped than fire fire (can u see how much i hate the Devs for putting such a weal set into a game which now has pvp)

my best advice, DO NOT MAKE A PVP BLASTER WITH ANY SORT OF FIRE SETS!

P.S. no fire blasters ever beat me, ever. thats what i base my advice on

give me an outdoor arena and I will 2 shot you :P

Fire/dev is a lot of fun and has the best snipe in the game

yeah ok, gimme an outdoor map and o wait, fire is still rubbash, ur held, ur dead etc etc. like to see u snipe through my DoT tbh

Plight

erm, mcx, arent we doing the SS TF that day/time? : /

Plight

except you can't move rooms that have items in ertain positions, you cant delete items you have made from components without losing everything you put into it, you cant place a forged item and then put it back in your inventory for prestige, you cant read the full info on an unforged item, even when u have the salvage, you cant read the info on room stats until you can afford them, so you don't know if you're saving for a room tthat allows X, Y or Z primary items and A, B or C aux items, which kinda makes it hard to save, as i fell sometimes like we're saving blindly.

Ireally feel like ALL the pre forged/affordable info on base items needs updating.

AND if this goes ahead, cos its a damn good idea Yohan, there iwll be another 3rd party piece of software that is more useful than CoH itsself.

Plight

my best advice, DO NOT MAKE A PVP BLASTER WITH ANY SORT OF FIRE SETS!

that will be all.

Plight

P.S. no fire blasters ever beat me, ever. thats what i base my advice on

theres a very good reason i only have CA and SB from the epic sin, it's because the others are just plain not better than your 1./2. powers

get ur 3 melees and slot em, get aim and BU and slot em, i have been telling u this forever

Plight

KB is what i can opnly dexribe as 'uber' against anyone with no protection from it if u can cycle KB powers quickly.

if i come up against a squishy i and i know their toggles are down or they are easy to KB, i can pretty much guarantee they are dead in 2-3 shots. maybe, just maybe, KB needs nerfing for pvp use, but in pve leave it as it is.

Plight

lol coin, it takes me about 40 minutes to think about hitting something usually, and thats when theres only 1 person online i know

Quoted from Yohan/Dark Infinity's PM to me
[ QUOTE ]
And Plight, talking about the base as defence, does it has to be a circle? Can't it be a straight line? And we needed to lower the ceiling if possible to make it better for our aoes.

One option would be, put their spawn point on a room conected to the rest of the base only by a corridor. that would be a lot easier to defende


[/ QUOTE ] lowering the ceiling is not a bad idea, however most of us will suffer from the same problems too, so it's really swings and roundabouts with that one. as for making the base long not square, we are on a 12x8 plot atm, there is no option to make it much narrower, the next plot we go for is 12x12 i believe, eventually we could make the base long and narrow, something like 20x4, but that wont be until we have a 20x20 (not happening any time this year). as far as spawn points go, enemies just spawn in random doorways; we will work on a tactic to place ourselves in the most useful positions to A) kill baddies and B) save the base items!11

Shard TF tonight sounds good, nevermind next sunday, but hamidon 1st : / (or we can go as a TF!)

good to see u about mate, i logged as u came in and didnt get a reply to my hi/bye but hope u had fun tonight.

P.S. MCX is doing a SG picture of us all, and individual ones, so let him get some of u, or take one of front sides and rear. (or send them to him)

Plight

Shnyet : / ... pls dont QFT here, thats for WoW :'(

Unthing, yeah it works in a team, but thats about it (elec dmg output isnt too far behind if u slot for AoE and teaming iirc.

and bleh

Plight

indeed mcx, just remember, do not delete anything that is forged from components as u cannot get it back (this limites what u can move around too).

the easiest way to move a oom is duplicate it and move the stuff, but if u can for any reason, u kinda have to undecorate all the wals and put the items in the centre of the room, then pray a bit to the gods of the devs. i cant speak for the others, but to my knowledge we have ONE SAPPER cannon lol, and im not gonna plae it cos its expensive and not really needed inthe tp room.

tbh, control wise, to run a defence filled base, i think we are going to need the 3.3 Mp plot which allows the second control room, i have a megamonitor, but as we discussed, am not destroying normal monitors to place it.

pls keep refining and passing on salvage to me (needs passing on for advanced components) and also... ALIEN TECH, seems to be the limiting component in defence production, so, im gonna try and keep on top of using it to make defence but not place them (this way we build what we need later but also keep pulling in AT which is limited to 20 per toon). afaict its the only component which is dropped as salvage, and i can see why. so throw it at me, or give it to alts to look after cos we will need plenty later (its usually 10 pieces for 1 defence item)

also, I have invited Baccarac, lvl 45 emp def to the sg at his request, he will be away a lot due to college, but i we have talked and he knows the score about chatting while we die due to lack of OMG HEAL PLIZs. so another warm welcome to the sg, and i expect he will post here when hes read the 1st page .

Plight

get in mr nick

sin, i swear u made half of those up just for me

most individual leetspeak = Sinergy!

i think you're right cambo good ta have ya

all praise dark lord marius for his badges and prest! (yay lol)

keep working on the builds sender and mcx, looking good

e-gen, nice to see u on the thread mateh, when we gonna see u in action with the group , i swear u tab out of our chat , now s the time for all alts, as didier and bigbadbeastie whatshisname are back

and super welcome to blastie, our newest elec elec blaster, w00t, great to have you hear chuckles

base may seem smaller for sma prestige now, but that tp room save room overall although ccsts double, it is however secure and we can put pwnage devices in there for raids! any ideas bout set up for that room are appreciated, i couldt put the beacons on the wall between all the pads due to some silly base edit rules . we made about 150k prestige yeesterday laaaaawl!1 so the raid teleporter will go back in later today .

current targets are robo-surgery (no1 has told me which badges we need for this yet either!?), and autodoc for buying/selling insps, there is an aux for it to sell BFs too, some1 look this up pls pls pls ty kk thx. mid term goal is 3.3 M prestige to upgrade the plot for a second control room and power room, we can now build a far advanced generator and control items, however to add them would destroy the existing ones so im going long haul for the uber control/power so as not to waste salvage.

please note, 20 items max for salvage, 100 items max for components, components ARE tradable so feel free to refine, however higher end components are harder to get recipes for so please send a lot of salvage my way and we can pool together for advanced control and defence items (these things are the equivalent of about 60+ pieces of salvage , and the aux items that allow +5% chance to recover items after raids are pretty cheap material wise, but 100kp prestige to place! so get sg moding (marius ), especially with new alts, older alts can be temp kicked, we dont lose the prestige but u do lose ur prest count/date joined, small price to pay tho imo.

Plight

isnt that 6 also?

when i hit 50 i had 4 ranged attacks in my cycle and 3 melees, there were 24 slots of range and 3 of melee, i was a blaster, seeing as blasters level better in teams

i think u were right for the rest, but Dark Pride had Nostalgic to 50 before marius rolled his 2nd main iirc, but mars was full time

think ur right about mcx, although he came in late, and Ed was the 1st scraper afaik, would have been sister but he left. G was 1st def to 50 iirc. dreamer was the 1 for me tho
