You'll have to get someone to log in for you.

I missed you guys.

BUT there has NEVER been an MMO that I have played where TEAMING is NOT a preferrable way to play.

[/ QUOTE ]
World of Warcraft.

I think that's a good idea.

[ QUOTE ]
Defenders tend to use less endurance on teams because they don't have to spend it all killing things. My Dark/Rad Defender has never had endurance issues on teams, not in Issue 1, not in Issue 7, not in Issue 15. Solo, though, he's always running out despite my slotting.

[/ QUOTE ]
I think the real reason is because slow people delay the team inbetween battles, so you have more time to recover.

That's the reason why I'd like to do both rounds in the same week. Things are slowing down now that a lot of teams have dropped out, and people are starting to get antsy.

Hey guys. Here's the schedule for the next two weeks, copy pasted from the other thread.

Week 6

Round 11:

Team That Damn Good vs. Team HUGS!

Team Chibbles N Bits vs Team LOLRPVP

Team Love the Turtles vs. Team YOUR FACE!

Team 3-Way vs. Team OMFGHAX

Team Facegrape vs. Team C.L.D

Bye - Team KGB









Week 7

Round 12:

Team That Damn Good vs. Team YOUR FACE!

How do people feel about doing both of these rounds in the same week? We've been doing two rounds a week up until now, so I think it would work out fine.

Sort of unrelated, but I once played CoH while a game of strip beer pong was going on behind me. I went afk for the last few cups, but I didn't tell my team why :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Can I move in?

[/ QUOTE ]
Nope, the place is being rented by someone else now. Gotta love games where you want your favorite team to lose.

Can't it be both?

[/ QUOTE ]
Sure thing! Its Shrodenger's Defender!

[/ QUOTE ]

Schrodinger. Interestingly, if/when I ever get a cat, this will be its name.

[/ QUOTE ]
I have a friend with a cat with this name. She had kittens, and they were named muon, gluon, and whatever the third quark is.

For ultimate TF ownage, I suggest a cold/sonic. Cold's defense buffs have obvious value, while sleet will speed up fights against enemy groups and sonic blasts will speed up fights against AVs. If you're looking specifically for something to speed up killing time though, I suggest radiation, storm, or kinetics paired with the sonic blast set.

[ QUOTE ]
But I have also noticed a big increase of players with 0 months vet (= new players). That could be correlated, and from a more global point of view, it's definitely good for the game

[/ QUOTE ]
Possibly due to the new box set and because making your own missions is awesome. It's nice having new players, I just wish we were training them better.

[ QUOTE ]
when I come back the team is getting wiped left and right. I asked what happened and they responded, "no idea".

[/ QUOTE ]
The failproof way of seeing if you own or not is to go afk or switch characters and see what happens.

[ QUOTE ]
Even with the new SF, in my 5 years of playing, I have never, ever seen a team broadcasting "need more stalkers".

[/ QUOTE ]
The best compliment my stalker has ever recieved was that he was "Like a brute".

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Incidentally, Task Forces are much more fun while drunk.

[/ QUOTE ]

These words speak to my soul.

[/ QUOTE ]
Why isn't this thread on the Pinnacle forums?

The screenshot in your signature is awesome.

They have a few characters they switch around. When I did a practice match with them they had two VEATs and a tank.

[ QUOTE ]
I have witnessed someone kicking a good Defender out of a team, to make room for a Controller.

[/ QUOTE ]
I've noticed that recent AE power levelings have caused a steep decline in the average team leader's ability to create strong teams.

Sort of unrelated, but I once played CoH while a game of strip beer pong was going on behind me. I went afk for the last few cups, but I didn't tell my team why :P

Epic thread derail. Truely epic.
I motion to sticky.

[ QUOTE ]
given an 8-person team built entirely of the clueless and badly built, how long does it take you to get through a 54 Maniac boss farm, and how many people die during the run?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you mean 7 people and then you.

[/ QUOTE ]
Making yourself clueless and badly built adds an extra layer of challenge :P

[ QUOTE ]
The point I'm making is that it's the buffing Defenders that need a boost. Buffing the class a a whole will buff characters that don't need a buff.

[/ QUOTE ]
Okay I'm confused now. Haven't you been wanting a buff for the whole class?

[ QUOTE ]
it's been suggested that debuffing Defenders are in good shape, and have no need for a defense boost.

[/ QUOTE ]
The same logic could be applied to any sort of boost. "Debuffing defenders are in good shape, and have no need for a recharge boost" "Debuffing defenders are in good shape, and have no need for a damage boost".

Re: psi resists in Clarity

Increase Density (stackable status protection plus nonstackable smashing/energy resists) works fine.


[/ QUOTE ]

An excellent point! I knew there was a precedent for that.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's capable of being even more flexible than that. I'm pretty sure enforced morale from pain domination has a recharge buff which is capable of stacking five times.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, I really like the suggestion in your Corrupter thread Fury, to give Disruption Field a longer lingering debuff like the -To Hit on Hurricane.

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm of the opinion that a whole lot of powers would benefit greatly from this sort of treatment.

If sonic siphon WERE to be changed into an area effect (something that I feel pretty neutral about) then I'd suggest doing a targeted area instead of a cone. Sonic blast already has a cone resistance debuff, and everyone knows variety is the spice of life.
