If it wasn't stackable, Hide would just be an inferior version of Invis (in terms of -perception anyway).

If really needed, I could swap over to the villain side, but I'd only have a level 30 Corruptor to bring in.

...

Oh [censored]. I just realised. I left Empath there again.

Oh, and for those who don't check the Training Room section of the boards, the fix for HO's being awarded is now on test. So yay!

Simple solution, like i did on my fire/emp controller..

last cossie slot = Hami Cossie (no more/no less), I don't need 4 cossies on toons, so it's an easy street to go down.

Or you can do what I do. Just leave your toon in the hive on cowards hill. That way hes g2g for next raid, and allready in the right costume.

Damn right.

@Empath

Empath - Level 50 Emp/Elec
Ms. Freedon - Level 50 Kat/Regen

I'd probably prefer Union, most of my villains are there.

I'd be up for that, I'd quite like to play a Plant/Thorn Dominator. I have one at level 5 on Defiant, but it would be no trouble to move it onto Union.

Or, if we go with existing Doms, I have a level 29/30 Mind/NRG on Union.

IT goes both ways really, it can be very hard to get that initial foothold in the base, but once you start getting a few people in, it turns around on the defenders. I'm glad it's hard to destroy the anchors now...I think it was a bit too easy before.

Nice, you are probs one of the very few fire/ta's on the union server that has hit lvl 50, becareful, we dont want that to be fotm aswell, every single builds turning fotm, as soon as i kill someone i get tells saying 'ZOMG FOTM NO0B' what isnt becoming fotm is the question [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

That does seem to be a popular 'excuse' for losing on Union.

I couldn't follow the guide as I had no mental frame of reference. I did start to, but my brain wasn't working. What I did instead was to follow the very clear instructions in purple on request channel. I didn't have a single problem with them, and have nothing but respect for the organisers. If people followed them as they came up there wouldn't be a problem at all.

Some nice work there Cap.

One question, is Kara Solaris based on Power Girl? That came to mind as soon as I saw her (and I know you're a Captain Atom fan...and they were in the JLI together).

No, no, you misunderstand. What I speculated in the other post was perhaps everyone had to get their 1 attack in at some point while he was below 50% or perhaps even 25% health in order to get credit. As it stands we all did it while he was at 100% and then the hold phase started with the rest of us withdrawn to outside the jelly. I'm wondering whether everyone who didn't receive an HO had only attacked him during that pre-hold phase (at ~100%), and everyone who did had snuck a hit or two in during the holding phase thus ensuring themselves credit.

[/ QUOTE ]

No. I Total Focus'd Hamidon just as the Brawl Phase started, being in the Tank Team I stayed in the bubble myself until the very end, and received my HO. It seems Timing is not the issue.

We do, however, have reports of some people being on Cowards Hill and receiving a HO. So it's pretty freaking weird.

[/ QUOTE ]

Although in our case Ext, we were on a team with controllers, and were standing close enough for the team kill to count.

[ QUOTE ]
Could someone outline the strategy used quickly, and any tips for us wannabe raiders on Union who keep crashing the server with excess numbers?

[/ QUOTE ]

I could, but it'd be far easier just to link you to this post.

Woot! Well done on another success!

And thanks for the (hours, I'm sure) of PA testing. Went great!

How do you explain to people that don't hit Hami becasue they are confused and get out of the bubble when people say so only to find that they don't get the Hami-o as they have not clocked up the kill. regardless of the guides etc, there will always be people who either get confused or have not the guide.

[/ QUOTE ]IMO, people who don't even take the effort of reading a guide or listening to the instructions don't DESERVE a reward.

[/ QUOTE ]

Totally agree. It doesn't take long to read the guide, and the raids would go alot smoother if everyone read it.

I'd say 'tough'. Should have listened to Xanthus when he clearly says for everyone to hit Hami.

If they're not paying attention to Xan, then it's their own fault.

Congrats Psy!

This costume contest thingie...Do you only hold it on the US training room?

[/ QUOTE ]

We've decided to hold the same contest on the EU test server as well. Same place, Pocket D, at 9 PM CEST (is that right lol?), which I think is actually 2 PM in the afternoon our time. We just updated this on our site and I'll be sure to post it as an event on the Calendar here as well. Thanks MaXimillion!

[/ QUOTE ]Yay, now only thing left to do is to get there, and make sure nobody else does...

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Excuse me while I get my crash-a-matron.

Wow, that's some talent you have there. Very nice.

[ QUOTE ]
well kind of free, if a team of 3 can beat me, captain skyfire and seriphos 2 out of 3 arena battles (10 mins long) every fighter gets 1 million influence...

Just to warn you we havent lost a battle... yet

[/ QUOTE ]

can this be moved to PVP please, its on the wrong forum

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really, no. This is the server forum, the post is about an event on the server.

Just because there is a PvP section, it doesn't mean that PvP can't be mentioned in other places.

[ QUOTE ]
And it 's unsurpressed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup, that being a great advantage. Especially in PvP.

[ QUOTE ]
You never know when that extra 3.5% could save your life

[/ QUOTE ]

True, it does help. But only by a very tiny amount. It's just not worth wasting 3 slots on little over 1% of defence.

If you slot it with jump, you still get the 2.3% base.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Don't agree with slotting CJ for jump rather than def... personally I've never needed more jumping than CJ already has unaided. It adds a noticeable bit of defense, and it's worth slotting for that, the immobilization protection is nice too. The endurance cost is minimal though, really not worth reducing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Slotting both hurdle and combat jumping with jump enhs gives you fantastic maneuverability and seeing a 3 slotted combat jumping with defense buff SOs gives you a hardly mindboggling 3.5% defense (the base defense is 2.3%).

Not exactly worth it in my book....

[/ QUOTE ]

Definately not worth slotting for defence. And as Archy said, the jump (especially when combined with hurdle) is well worth slotting up. You'd be suprised just how far you can jump with them.

I think maybe it doesn't stack. You're right, the base defence does seem better than the player version. I would have thought that would be mentioned somewhere though.

Yup, either it doesn't stack (except for the icon) or 13.6% is wrong. The pets definately don't have defence that high when teamed!
