I'm on Union and I'm in the violators SG, the richest in Union and they do kick [censored] raids on saturdays, mostly whooping the order of reckoning SG, we got kick [censored] defences, both turrets and players. In raids we pwn.

[/ QUOTE ]

again why is raids considered by many the only form of pvp? if ur group is good at raids come along and try the arena, wud be great to have more people

edit: Art of War seem, from what i've read, to have the edge on all base raid sg's because they pvp in the arena and have become very good at it, if you can be good against the best from union and france then i wud have thought being good at base raiding is a whole lot easier

[/ QUOTE ]

More to the point, why come and make a post like that, confirming everyones bad opinons of most PvP'ers. Once again we're seeing a prime example of the attitudes that put most people off of PvP

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure where you're coming from there. X doesn't seem to be saying anything bad. :?

Unless you're talking about the post he quoted. In which case I get what you mean.

Pft our SG rocks at pvp - last night our very presence in the raid crashed the Paragon Defenders teamspeak server, and that was just a warning!!

[/ QUOTE ]

ZOMG, you broke my internets!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah dammit! You broked our TS! I demand all of Red Hot Rock's Infamy!

I did mean to take TK earlier, but I didn't realy want it before I had stamina. I think I'll swap it with Power Blast, then I'll at least have it for Sirens Call.

Five.

I'm in. Still have one channel slot left open I think.

Anyone have any comments?

Don't pay too much attention the levels of the slots at the moment, that'll probably change as I learn which powers I use and how.

They have to go to the SG tab and click 'settings', then on the next screen 'accept'. This will take them to a screen where they can choose their SG costume.

Very, very impressive.

Oh, you have Xanthus...hmm...not sure if I could be in an SG with him

Not playing repetative AI.

Basically that. In PvE, once you get a good team together, nothing is actually a challenge. It can still be good fun, but still very easy. Against other players it's unpredictable, as Extremus says, you have to think fast and adjust...you're never sure exactly what the other player is going to do.

[ QUOTE ]
Im sorry, but I really dont agree. 8 man is far more reliant on the builds chosen than pentad, and is much less to do with any 'skill' involved imo.



[/ QUOTE ]
Totally correct. There is no argument to this. In eight man what's to stop a team fronting up 8 scrappers? 8 scrappers chasing down the same target ftw.

With pentad, you know exactly what number of each AT you'll be facing, maybe not necessarily the builds, but still, the skill is in the tactics.

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought the rules in the 8-man matches were to have a max of two of each AT? (Not an official rule of course)

I'm thinking either Mind/Energy or Plant/Energy. If I'm going PvP orientated it'll most likey be Mind...I just want to look into plant a bit first.

I was planning on making a new Dominator (not sure which powersets yet), and as I have no Defiant slots left I'll be on Union.

Happy Cake Day man.

What he said.

I thought it was extremely well organized
But if you say we need more organization, then so be it.

[/ QUOTE ]

THere was about 20 minutes or so at the start where the clearing group split in two, with the majority unable to find Honsou. Hopefully that won't happen next time.

Congrats Union! Yet another post-ED Jelly take down!

Raid window is whenever we send you a raid invite, or vice-versa. Once the invite is sent, you have 5 minutes to join the raid by opening the supergroup tab, clicking the "Raid" button and then clicking "Join" on the relevant raid.
And yeah, it's 8pm London time.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I meant how long does the raid last, as I don't think we can kill you all at the same time...

I'd prefer defending base despite us being underdogs, to see how the defensive items work and get ideas about the defense etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

A base raid lasts 45 minutes, and ok

[/ QUOTE ]

Lasts up to 45 minutes. Or until one of the victory conditions are met.

Empath: Only died two or three times! Makes a change. Pro healing on the tank.

As long as you don't count the pre-raid build up

Excellent raid! Was over in less than 90 minutes!

[ QUOTE ]
What about a moment of intangibility after entering (like PVP zones), but with a timer that could be interrupted by the player him/herself so they could 'get right back into the action'?

This would protect the players when they are loading, but wouldnt hinder those who are ready. Imo the intangibility should also root the players, so it couldnt be used tactically(apart from toggling up). The rooting would cancel once the players themselves cancel the intangibility. Allowing people with good reflexes to escape attempts of immob/hold/camping etc.

Intangibility should of course run out after a timer like 15 seconds or so.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, something like with the arena. Have a countdown and the player unable to move. That way they can't scout out Anchor/Generator/Control locations while being unkillable.

[ QUOTE ]
really, the way to 'fix' base raids, is to let every attacker spawn at the base entrance. So what if an attacker fails. real life history shows that the defenders have a WAY bigger chance of winning if they are in a fortified setting.

[/ QUOTE ]

The problem with that is it then becomes very hard to actually get into the base. With all the different load times depending on PC's and connections there's no way to garuntee your team will load together. So all the defenders would have to do is camp the portal and it becomes very frustrating for the attackers.

Even as it is now, once the defenders learn the spawn points, you can end up dying before you've even loaded up.

I don't think they are, I'm pretty sure we have one in our base and it's not even targettable.
