Can we start AV thursdays after the Freespec comes? Nothing makes Schro so fun to play than an AV, it's what she does best
[/ QUOTE ]
Oh hell yes,
i really need that respec too, as my chars stand at the moment, facing any AV after I7 without respecing would be bad......very bad......faceplantingly bad
[/ QUOTE ]
If you're looking for respec, think Real McCoy (aka Mazimba) is need to do the lvl24 respec. Should be able to help out soon, but not until after this week I don't think.
I'm cool with whatever date's organised for AVs...will keep an eye out on here or can send me an email.

Also, to add to that, once I7 is up and running on live i will be starting a few events.(some weekly, and open to all) For example:
The return of "AV Thursday" -and- GM Hunts!
Then i also have some "new" monthly events currently in planning, including:
CoH Treasure Hunt -and- "Themed" Costume Compo's (both INF depending)
Was also toying with the idea of a regular Arena event using a League Table / LvL Classes / Champ Titles ect, but will see how things go.
....watch this space

Cool all sounds interesting. Come the end of next week I should be able to help out organising this with you if you need it.
Possibly even making it a bit of an open event and try attracting some fresh blood to the SG.

One of them have hit level 21 recently and he is in the academy, would it be alright if he could be moved into the guild? Pwetty please?
[/ QUOTE ]
Sure thing! Just add @Blizzaria or @Captain Solaris to your Global list, and we'll sort it!
[/ QUOTE ]
Aye definately...the more active GoEH is the better. Academy is more so for our alts I guess. Anymore of those wanting to move across, just say so.

Evening guys!
It sure has been a quiet month once again for the GoEH. As its the final week of uni for me, you'll soon be seeing a lot more of me in game...well up until I get a proper job...
Hmmm...but then again I might languish in jobless obscuredom for a month or so whilst attempting to resuscitate what is the remnants of our beloved Guild.
I'm seeing a lot of low level alts not being used for quite sometime. Therefore come June, I'll be relieving some space for more active heroes/heroines. The academy is still up and running, so if you do have any lower end alts that you don't use as often, inform me so can place them into the Academy instead. I have two alts in there ( Terrax lvl34 PB and Aqua Maelstrom lvl10 Nrg/Nrg Blaster) and most definately will be looking to get them lvl'd throughout the summer. However my main priority will be Gabriel Knight and the other heroes I have in GoEH.
Prestige will also be high on the agenda during this summer. So all heroes playing please make sure you have yourself in SG mode. Those worrying about Influence for Enhancements please don't hesitate to ask for an inf boost from myself. Would love to upgrade our plot and put in more functioning rooms for us to use.
I may not have been on for a while, but drop me an email (ingame or captain_solaris@hotmail.co.uk) if you have any questions, need a hand or wanting to put a new hero into the Guild/Academy. I'll reply pretty much straight away once I've read it (unless you're Spec, where then I'll have to sacrifice two lambs and a cow to lift any curse he's imposed to all who read it...I tell thee, ever since he's set up shop on CoV, its turned him darker than he was before).
Plans are afoot to organise an eventual meet up this summer, with interest from a good number of GoEH'ers. The month I'd be looking to organise one would be mid-July and somewhere close for everyone wanting to come. At the moment I think I'm the most northern living just outside of Middlesbrough and most southern member is nearabouts London village. If that's the case, then most possibly Sheffield or even Nottingham meetup would be most accessible. Any thoughts feel free to voice them here.
I'm aware of our foriegn contingent who may be interested (mainly from Scandanavia). So if they decide to either get a ferry or flight to Newcastle (about 45mins drive away), I have no problems in picking them up and driving down from there.
See you all in game very soon.
Capt -
Remember our P.I.M.P. SQUAD ? Haha! Just found this picture. T'was good until we were forcibly made to change the SG name and the name of our heroes.
Who was who in it again? Think my hero was called PimpGunner AR/Dev Blaster... -

just out of sheer curiosity seeing as coh has hit its 2nd b/day how many of us day 1 players are left in the game i remember running around with capt solaris in boomtown at a mighty lvl 12and TG as well but how many are actually left
[/ QUOTE ]
Hehe...was fishing around in my folder of old CoH pics and came across the very moment you were with me in Boomtown! Think I was a colossol lvl18/19 at the time.
Question...why am I calling you a wristwatch?
Also note...no Accel Meta and at this period I think I had Brawl slotted also...just showed you how much I knew back then!...not that its any different now! haha :P
Clicky...
[edit: ahh no...I did have Accel Meta, its just recharging at the bottom right of the pic...durr] -
Work permitting, will be there again.
Just keep em rolling, I'm hungry for more Hami-Os! -
Calling all Guild members, I'd like you take upon the assignment of defeating Hamidon once again this Sunday evening.
After re-reading Crisis on Infinite Earths, it would be nice to have a team full of GoEH'ers and banding with other hero teams to qwuell this threat (albeit until he respawns again :P )! -
I have the day of work and sure I'll have done enough uni work to warrant me some time off and aid in the task of defeating Hamidon once again.
-
Congrats lads!
After many months of doing nearly every arch (if not all), you've got your scrappers to 50! Well done to the both of you!
And special grats to Cynic's first lvl50. Been a long time coming fella. I'm sure you'll get Schro to fifty just as quick! ^__^

I have 2 def/acc debuff/end HOs and one dam/mezz. I would like to swap em for dam/acc
[/ QUOTE ]
I have 1 Lysosome (acc/def debuff/tohit debuff) or 1 Enzyme (end redux/def debuff/tohit debuff) available to swap for one of the your Hami-Os listed above.
...however, you'll have to wait for the next free respec to get em :/ -
So......
Anyone got any Hami-Os they don't want or need? If you're willing to give away, I'll be more than happy to take them off you ^__^ ...wil even pay a handsome fee for them.
Any offers send me a PM on the forums or email ingame to Captain Solaris.
Salutations

As long as there's people like yourself, the core of our SG (and Blizzaira of course ^__^ ), then I'll still be here...unless if the game gets nerfed to kingdom come and a large exodus of us "old skool" players decide to move onto another mmorpg.
Its a good getaway from RL, which I haven't found in any other mmorpg I've played...yet. -
Screen capture program used is fraps. when enabled also shows you you're ingame frames per second (fps).
For editing the clips I took, I used Window's Movie Maker. -
Its already been seen on the Defiant section of the forums, however decided to put in the creative section as requested by a nubmer of friends ingame. :P
Apologies for the quality, was running several programs at the same time when transferring it to a .wmv file, so it wouldn't give me the best quality available.
Here it is... (clicky will take you to filefactory.com where you can download the movie...make sure u select the free download!) -
Sounds good MaX...will have to take you up on your offer over the next couple of days before things get even more hectic in rl...only a couple weeks left at uni and still not finished major project!
Would also like to say welcome back to Mazimba who'll be gracing us with his new hero Real McCoy! I'm sure I'll have room for you in my team with any of my alts bud. When you see me in game, just give me a shout. -
OMG...I thought I would never see the day when your hero would finally get 50.
Well done fella...you've certainly worked hard for this and deserve it.
Congrats fella! -
great....sounds good to me
i've got some praetorian AVs, thanks to jag.
what times do you regularly play nowadays? -
Hmm well, thought I was tired. Just thinking on its been quite an interesting couple of days. Think I've spent more time on CoH/V over these past two days then in the last month! Think I need to organise more sessions where instead of doing 2hours a night, possibly one long session say once a week. Definately found it easier to lvl my alts in longer sessions as it allows me to get into the flow. Don't think 2hrs long enough for it, as sometimes finding a decent team usually takes up an hour of that time.
Looks like FPA's old boys Mr D Bringer and Chisel are back. Good to see em knocking about and to chat on TS once again.
ps...if anyone has any portal AVs down the line and don't mind having a low lvl controller join em, I'm looking to get the accolades for Urubach before reaching lvl30. -

Ok, having recently reactivated my girlfriend ...
[/ QUOTE ]
wish i could do that to mine..then switch her off again when she begins to whine ^__^ *awaits slap when she reads this
[ QUOTE ]
Granted, we're only level 6 but even know I'm feeling a bit squishy to really help her if she gets in over her head (indeed, during the flurry of math she was hurling at me last night, she grumbled about apparent weaknesses in the /SR set). So...I'm wondering, what sort of character do you think would duo well with a Scrapper like hers?
I'm thinking a Tanker, but that might be a bit TOO safe for her. A Blaster? Defender? I want to help, but at the same time I don't want to go swiping all the glory and making her feel redundant.
[/ QUOTE ]
I say give it time. I've coupled a MA/SR and Dark/Dark before (with me being the MA/SR). It was in fact the other way around, as my gaming partner felt the Dark/Dark set to be not to her taste. Although SR is the weakest 2ndry in the scrapper set, it has its advantages...namely Elude. It carries a lot of toggles, however the MA set is one of the least endurance sapping primaries in the scrapper set.
However if she isn't completely satisfied with being an MA/SR, you may find either a Kinetic defender or Kin 2ndry controller would compliment your character. -
heh...think most of the footage was when we last had a big guild outing which was that monster hunt many moons ago ^__^
i also got a load of footage from there but at the time i didn't know much about fraps so when i was taping had most of my in game windows open blocking some of the action!
i'd dearly love to get a guild team going again, however there's just not enough time for me any more...unlike last year where i slacked off uni and ended up playing about 12hours a day! which got me 2 lvl50s in 3months! i'm not on so consistantly anymore, that gabriel knight is still only lvl43 after 10months and eternal light lvl44 after 6months.
at the moment, the times when you'll find me on are between the hours of 07:00-12:00 and 23:00-when i fall asleep. unless days off like today where i'll be on as much as possible if don't have too much work to do!
come the end of my course (june), will most likely have a full month just to relax, so will be on CoH/V like before and lvl my alts like an rabid animal!
everyone welcome to join me! -

With Gabriel Knight's MoG slotted 3xDefDebuff 2xResDmg, I would only use MoG nearer the end of an AV bashing or when my heals have been exhausted and health is considerably low with no other healers about.
[/ QUOTE ]
I know what you mean but... I suspect you are actually saying DefBuff.
And AFAIK MoG caps with one ResDmg.
[/ QUOTE ]
rofl...aye DefBuffs is wots i means (had earlier written a reply on a radiation defender thread)! And yes, 1xResDmg would do ^_^
[ QUOTE ]
I just respec'd out Divine Avalanche. i liked it but never used it so i took build up instead an stealth is really for soloin/part of my toons story so i could never get rid of it.
Im going to pretty much stick with the build i got an get CJ i might respec'd out conserve power when i7 drops if i feel i dont need it an maybe get assault Sj or MoG
[/ QUOTE ]
if there's powers chosen for a concept build, then stick with them (ie: my regen scrapper is a vampire, therefore i've kept revive and taken the darkness power pool instead of body mastery). concept builds the way forward me says! makes a change for the monotony of trying to be the best of the best of the best...hu-hah! -
If you're going to have a Tank in any team, they will still require a good healer in their midst. They will also require a bit of time to hold the mob first before the rest charge in.
In my mind an experienced tanker, would speak to his team and tell them what he intends to do. They would have Taunt with at least 1xRechgRedux & 1xTauntDur to control mobs. They won't over-do their offensive capabilities. They shouldn't be lazy in the sense that once they have a mob taunted that they stay in that mob.
With Earth I have hurdle, ideal for jumping out of the mob and to a nearby foe who my taunt has missed and after a team mate. One Haymaker/KO Blow later their focus is on me and I jump straight back into the large concentration of enemies.
As long as your Tank is properly taunting, all you'll need is to keep his health in check and ensure no-one does anything too rash. Scrappers take on loose ends (ie: distracted mobs). Everyone else keep that distance to ensure they have a good chance of getting away, only coming into melee range if completely neccessary.
Overall, I think it's good for people to have low expectations on Tanks...this will stop them from letting their guard down and becoming complacent. If everyone focuses on what your hero should be doing, then needless deaths will be rare. -
MoG is a power that I love using, however only in extreme cases. Elude overshadows it quite considerable now, as you're able to heal yourself when in this state.
With Gabriel Knight's MoG slotted 3xDefDebuff 2xResDmg, I would only use MoG nearer the end of an AV bashing or when my heals have been exhausted and health is considerably low with no other healers about.
I'd say the only power needed in the Body Mastery epic for a Regen would be Focused Accuracy. You'll very rarely find your endurance disappearing with QR and Stamina, until the latter lvls of the game. The ranged powers offered in this epic is pretty much laughable imo.
Revive is a fun power to have. You get the added bonus of no extra debt for 20secs or so so you can go and die again. ^__^
I would choose another power instead of Weave. Combat Jump works well with hurdle and ss. However, if you want another toggle to go with your build, perhaps Assault from the Leadership pool would be beneficial. This would provide you and your team with a +Dmg bonus.
I would also consider dropping Stealth possibly in place for Divine Avalanche. The DefBuff is on a par with Parry and would be a bonus fighting in PvP. -
You'll find Endurance Cost on a Rad Def is very low (especially when coupled with vigilance...or whatever it is defs have, can't remember cos at work).
For Capt I have the following:
- Healing Aura
3xRchgeRedux
3xHeal
Endurance cost is pretty high with this, so could possible substiute 1 or 2 slots with EndRedux depending on how much you use your heals.
- Radiation Infection*
2xToHitDebuff
2xDefDebuff
1xEndRedux
1xEnzymeExp
End cost on this is actually pretty low. If I didn't have my Hami-O's would most likely place in 1xEndRedux or 1xToHit (as you will have a number powers at your disosal that give def debuff).
- Accelerated Metaolism*
3xRchgRedux
2xEndMod
1xEnzymeExp
Provides resistance to mez with bonus to movement and RchgRedux. Replace Hami-O for another EndMod.
-Mutation
1xRchgRedux
1xEndMod
Great revive, but you'll find not used much in latter levels/PvP. Like a mini AM buff when revived with this power, EndMod gives it that extra little kick.
-Enervating Field
1xEndRedux
End cost much higher than RI. Would only slot with 1EndRedux and place slots in other powers
-Lingering Radiation*
3xRchgRedux
2xSlow
1xAcc
Good slow affect that lasts.
-Choking Cloud
2xHold
1xRchgRedux
1xEndRedux
Surprisingly doesn't cost you much endurance when on. AutoHits not too great, therefore would slot with holds.
-Fallout*
3xRchgRedux
3xDmg
If you feel not going to be using too much, have just 1RchgRedux and either place other slots in other powers or 1xDefDebuff + 1ToHitDebuff
-EM Pulse*
3xRchgRedux
2xHold
1xLyzsomeExp
Hold duration already very potent, so if not available, change Hami-O for EndMod for added endurance sapping.
* powers ideal for full slotting
