can do Saturday morning with fisty mate - but I gotta leave to go back to kent at about 1pm....

Seems SF fever is hitting the SG

So tomorrow I believe we have Respec 1 (24-33?) and The Leviathan SF (25-35).

Thursday we potentially have another RSF run, after Jon and I managed it with a team tonight in <3 hours I'm very confident we can do the same or better.

Friday Prot/Helioss has asked if there's any interest in SF3 - which is the one with the large crystal cave - 35-40. I'm certainly up for it.

And potentially the SG SF over the w/e though I don't think I'm around this w/e.

and we did Fist them mightily.

Liking your new avatar too - linky to the whole image?

to add to the whole one-shot thing. I definitely got one shotted twice from full health on RSF. Sadly don't have my log but being a granite I tend to remember these events as they don't happen too often (thanks to excellent healing!).

I think we could have a prob either with AVs in general (though I think this is unlikely as we'd have seen it in the patron arcs etc) or more likely with the RSF AVs (Heros sorry).

Perhaps the no one-shot only applies up to lvl 53 - am I right in thinking that this is the only time in the game you see a lvl 54 enemy?

Erm on a much more important note - checkout my AMAZING new avatar courtesy of Scarlet!!! Thanks ever so much hun!

Full piccy here:
Fisty

I've checked your math hun can't fault it. I suggest you email Bridger as I suspect the no one-shot rule hasn't been applied to AVs. Now as we were never told of this exception that to me is a bug.

Have had a muck around with the vid I made - now bear in mind this is my first attempt at video editing and I basically don't have a clue!

Oh this one's quite large I'm afraid - 85 Meg or so - and yes I forgot to turn it on till we were on BaB

RSF

By jove they've done it again! Well done to the Reclusers on their victory early this evening - more things learnt and overall a faster time - we're getting the hang of it ... and we're STILL the only SG on Union to have done it as a SG team... twice now!

OK guys - Recluse SF this weekend - Return of the Fist.

Team Roster is so far:

Black Jon Bludd (Guide and sniper extraordinaire - teaboy)
Scarlet Vengeance (Cannon fodder provider)
Lady Doom (Bringing on the oranges at half time)
Chaos Agent (SMASHer First Class)
Major Helioss (if you don't mind Prot - Personal SBer to Fisty)
Dark Rendition with his Bot/Trap MM (Probable with preference)
Two Fist (Rent Boy)
A.N.Other - we need a strong debuffer - ice/rad would do nicely :P Hurry up and lvl jon!

Kick off is 1pm Saturday with Nuke and Shivan gathering going down tomorrow evening - I'm happy to assist here as needed.

Gah unlucky mate

besides aren't u stuck doing RSF for the foreseeable mate?

OK Nps - we'll hold off on the first one till you ding 15 - I'm gonna be online most of the day - probably with my new corr - so happy to teamup and get some lvls under the belt!

Yeah I'm thinking its about time we did some SG SFs. What say we kick off tomorrow with the first one (15-20) and take it from there?

While I'm here - checkout this new info on the Cathedral Trial - sounds like for a while at least we can have IoP(s! - I'll investigate how we go plural here!) without fear of raids and base trashing!

Here is something all you base designers may want to keep in mind:

The Cathedral of Pain is expected to be released prior to Issue 8, and it will be a little different than originally planned. It will be PvE oriented and the trial will remain active for 7 days. During this time you can earn one or more Items of Power for your Supergroup base. Then it will be off for 21 days, after which you will lose the Items of Power and this cycle repeats. Previously, it was scheduled to run only every 5 days, with 25 days off. Scheduled Base Raids are currently non-functional, but we wanted you to at least participate in the Cathedral of Pain and Item of Power portions while we address the Raid functionality internally.

Have posted the info in the Base area too but as I know some of you, mentioning no names *cough* kitty *cough* don't seem to notice much happening outside our thread.....


PS "Its hot, damn hot, hotter than the thing in my shorts!" (100 inf if you can name the film quote)

Hi guys - just saw Cricket has posted this on US boards.

Have a question (B if you see this could you inquire for us pls?) which is - given this setup will mean we can all load up on IoPs without worrying about raids then leading to the trashing of our lovely bases... What will happen when you guys fix the raid setup? Will we suddenly be at risk or will we be able to surrender our IoPs? I guess the cycle will take care of it actually so long as the timing of the release is good Anyway - sounds like we get a nice little bit of "new" content to tide us over till I8 (coming soooooooon )

Bit of a base update

Many thanks to Mister for suggesting the Arcane buff generator thing and for his help this afternoon!

What we've done:

Enhancements storage - there are now 3 tables - enhancements have been sorted by origin - Nat/Mag Sci/Tech and Muti - I've tried to put something next to each table to help u guess which is which - best I could do

Tech salvage - 4 bins now - 2 for refined components ONLY and 2 for the unrefined junk (two closest the tables for the unrefined) - just look at whats in there as you deposit basically

Insp Holders - 2 of em - no ordering

Arcane Salvage - 2 bins - one for refined one for unrefined.

AND - one tier 3 temp power generator thingy - yeah they are not amazing - but its a good way to use our arcane salvage so use it at will - I'm liking the fear and confuse resistance myself


What's next:

Well once u get the lead out and earn bout 6 mio more prestige we'll go for the big plot upgrade - at current rate of earnign thats about 2 months away - a long way I know but we'll get there. Everyone should be in SG mode all the time now - we have enough inf

Oh and Jon lets have some more stories - I like those! Something RSF based perhaps?

FYI Jon I can do whatever time weds now - am off these next two weeks. Fisty is now fully re-armed and ready to rock

Sorry I couldn't be around for some of the weekend guys - had a berevement (well a pending one actually) in the family and had to rush home to Kent. Back now and taken a couple of weeks off so I shall be around.

See you online later

Spanky

Both times should be OK for me - could we make weds 7 though? I'm home by 6 but I like to have my dinner and pop my slippers on and puff on my pipe (purge those dirty thoughts!) before I fist statesman good and proper

Just popped a Grav/Psi guide out there - if nothing else reading it all should waste 5 mins of your working days so enjoy

Hi Guys - in case anyone is looking for one I just wrote a Gravity Control / Psionic Assault Guide - hope it is of use!

http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/sh...fpart=1#591329

Unless they're also changing how close you can put objects to doors.... /em dreams

Weekend update guys - its Double XP and Prestige / Inf... Please please stay in SG mode all weekend regardless of your level - we have enough "banks" now that we can fund enhancements for people for the foreseeable future but it would be a shame to miss out on this opportunity to fill our coffers even more (not that we're doing badly by any stretch of the imagination!)

AND! News from States/Posi:

To this end, you can expect to see an (approximately) 25% increase in Prestige earning. This will be in an upcoming patch (have to get it through QA).

But it doesn't stop there....

[ QUOTE ]
This week Statesman and I (among others) will begin looking at the larger Supergroups and determining where the shortcomings are at that end of the system and figure out what we need to implement in order to get larger Supergroups to a level where both they and we are happy.

Err can I get a WOOT! on that.

GJ Devs for listening to our pleas and reviewing what's going on - a 25%ish boost to Prestige will do very nicely thanks. The new rooms also sound ideal both for startup SGs to get a nice functioning base and for those of us with more established bases to tinker some more!

And it sounds like Posi and States are still looking at the larger groups currently so we could yet see more goodness!

That and double XP - my cup runneth over!

Well seeing as they don't give debt (and that some of us don't care about debt any more!) maybe we should (NOT on the forums!) quietly arrange a time for the SG to go a-hunting.

If we could secure the 3 Heavies and arm up with shivans (again!) I reckon we could do it... proven Phalanx killers that we are
