It was great fun
Edit We almost got one on the Saturday on Villains
Defiant FTW

[/ QUOTE ]

Was as much fun if not more that the Robot Rampages that Omega MCX has also been so kind to oranise and equally epic

And wasnt it two of the things?

The second one was like an athlete doing a lap of honour, it was just a celebration

Looking at the list, such as it is, I guess MaX would warrant a place. As mostly it seems to be people that are well known. While not known for anything good MaX is known. He's spammed up to a forum title so everyone's read his posts. He's died so often in game that I've heard face planting to be called "channelling Max" and he's been blamed for failures of TF's that he wasn't even on.

His knowledge of the game is only surpassed by his inability to actually apply it.

Yeah now see if Hess was the first TF you encountered, you would be gagging to do more of them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly, Hess makes you feel like a real hero at the end, the travelling can be a bit of a pain without travel powers (bad exemp build, dont ask) but at least its all fairly near, the plot is very clear and there's a couple of swerve balls thrown at you too

The true trial of positron is mentioned in Okton's post.

I've done the TF maybe 5 or 6 times and only one time have I enjoyed it. Team I was on was great fun, was too busy chatting to really focus on the game and played mostly on auto pilot (you know when you get to the end of the mission, everythings dead, the whole team's alive and yet no one remembers doing anything)

Posi was my first TF when I started playing in Feb, took till the September that year before I was willing to do my second. Its just so dull, citadel isn't much better but at least your characters are interesting by then.

They made Hess, they can do better than Posi.

Be thanksgiving next year. Be thanksgiving next year.

Hmmmm not sure wishing hard for something and repeating mantra's actually works though

Oh and something that needs mentioning, with the sounds and looks disembowel is the only attack in the game that has made me wince. Its one of the reasons why Broad Sword stands head and shoulders above Katana and DB in animations in that it looks and sounds more real

Although Alanis singing someone out of existence was a pretty accurate representation of what happens at her gigs.

I'm with the Kung Fu theory on this one (clicky)...

...although it has nothing on the infinitely more subtle and ancient Lancastrian martial art of Akai-Thump...

True, it is always wise to cover your ears when she opens your mouth........... damnit Kevin Smith is smarter than I thought

DM/Regen is stupidly easy to survive on a great burst damage. That said BS/Regen would probably be equally as good. Fire Melee would beat the above two on AoE but it depends what you want to do.

With the up coming changes to DM you'll have fairly nice spike damage from Midnight Grasp too, which is all neg en and thus fairly un resisted (though anything that does resist it REALLY resists it)

Of course from all the scrapper sets claws does the best damage over time if you keep followup perma (which isn't hard really).

It depends on what you want damage wise. Spines is without a doubt the best AoE, fire is good AoE and ST and then the best ST damage depends entirely on your situation

Well done on your new 50, or something like that heh

Impressive that it happened so fast and yet the quality was still good. Nice work

I should probably join defiant badgers I guess, it would explain why I only think I hear half a conversation sometimes.

Yeah the smurfite channel has been quiet of late, as has the elfling one. Both of those made me consider putting them in a new tab at one point so I could keep up with my SG. Bad sign I guess

They could have got a better woman to play god though...... hmmm most women I know like playing god actually

Mines 44 at the moment and I love it. Its not the AoE king that a /Fire would be but its about second best I'd say. I've just gone mostly with AoE and avoided the ST holds I could have taken though, but I do find it fun. I especially like it when I have 90+ HP/Sec regen, thats the highlight. I guess any /Mental will have that though.

I find groups have no end pretty fast too, cause Drain Psyche stops their recovery and Short Cicuit drains them fast. When adding on all the other elec drains you soon wear them down.

Big plus side is that while I dont have much ST damage I do have -regen. So I can help out vs AVs in that way.

I'm finding it fun, probably not as efficient as my Ice/Fire blaster, but good in different ways. Makes you think sideways

Spine/Invul is definitely worth sticking out to the higher levels but it did really hurt till stamina was slotted (and I took quils at 22).

My Claw/WP was good for end even before Quick Recovery (they dont get it at such an early level as those lazy Regen's)

But yeah I tend to rush through till 22 on all toons now, cause there's now enjoyment when you have downtime

Kin doesn't rank number one at being the only defender on an average team taking down an AV, but its sure not bottom. As long as you're spamming Transfusion you will dent its regen, which is the big thing I guess, but the lack of -res stops it being top.

Kin/Sonic would be fairly nice I guess. I'd just always rather have a Rad or a Dark, but then I also prefer playing Rad and Dark so am somewhat bias

I've also been knocked off the walkway on LGTF when we charged, landing in a group of +3 bosses with more from adjacent mobs aggroing as well on my kin/elec def and been able to handle the aggro from all 8 whilst the rest of the team took out the av

[/ QUOTE ]
ROTFL!

And yes Dante, kin is a pretty good debuffer for those heavy targets. Good -regen, -dam, -rech and very good heals to keep melee types alive. You won't be doing much to their end, but that's not a real issue. And with all the nice buff loving you can spread kin is an overall good set in a team to bring an AV to it's knees.

Transference will keep their END full even if SB doesn't... or did you mean something else?

The END drain of Transference on some mobs will drop their entire END in only a few hits while others never twitch.

[/ QUOTE ]

Think he meant the -end of Transference not the +end. As the OP was about debuffs.

I just started a Claws/WP myself last night.

The Claws animations are pretty nice now and seem much more fluid than before (I tried one before about 14 months ago and ended up deleting them again). Plus the choosable weapon models are pretty nice.

I just wish I could have made a Claw/WP Brute instead

[/ QUOTE ]

Claw/WP brute will be my next new villain. If it never exists I've made my last

Neverwinter Nights, Neverwinter Nights 2, Dragon Age.

I would love to see a superhero game like those though. I don't suppose Bioware would be nice enough, unfortunately. They seem to be a bit wedded to fantasy and IPR licenses.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd rather see one like Mass Effect or Jade Empire, I'm not too keen on controlling a full team directly. I'd rather just give orders like in ME or just have them follow me around like in JE.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd play a Jade Empire or Mass Effect style MMO in an instant, as long as the story was as good as those games. They take up two of my top three games, with KOTOR at number 1 on the list

I had an idea for a BS/DA, then I saw the cost for the IOs I'd need to make that idea become real....... I'm gonna make an MA/DA instead

That was good, that was damned good. Finally there's something that can be as social as an old Hami Raid. Sure the reward is just fun, but that's what we're here for.

Well organised MCX

Dark doesn't light oil slick.

I plan a cold/Dark defender myself (just need to start a new super group team to give me regular play with it or something) I think the def, res and tohit debuffs would combine well. The imob should be handy with sleet and who doesn't love Heatloss??!

Going Rogue would bring new life into the game for me. I hope it's this.

Power customisation would be nice, not really sure how much I'd use it, though I'd like Jenn's fire effects to be blue. Cant really think of any other changes I'd make with it

If you want to be different make an /invulnerability scrapper. Not many around and they actually are good at 50 despite people mocking scrapper /invuln.

Invuls are stupidly good at 50, I'm pretty sure that its muct improved on my WP for most things (obviously not endurance)
