Which is essentially my idea, superspeed, low jump past the enemy, activate AS, my character will land away from the field that would interrupt, AS will hit - in theory Should work as long as I wont use movement buttons after acivating AS which would interrupt it. If it is possible to skim past between the field ticks that is. Jump will prevent the AS from rooting my character in middle of it all.


[/ QUOTE ]Falling/Sliding prevents interruptable powers, you don't need to press movement keys. Thus, won't work.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm I cant really test this with my lvl 13 stalker, gonna test a bit once the event starts.. Well at least you cant put AS on auto.. Youre propably right anyway. This DOES work with normal melee powers, but I guess not with AS.

[The reason behind this? Blasters would deliberately die then come running out of hospital with 'Defiance' maxed out and tear through the villains.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol thats classic!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really, Ive already tried it :P

[...] If the Stalker can get close, start AS it might hit, but I'm not sure if it's a double check (like Snipe) or a single check (like Total Focus). [...]

[/ QUOTE ]
AS is single check, hence why you can be ASed several hundred yards away from the Stalker if you're moving around at high speed.

Too bad I dont have a stalker to test this with, only my blaster and his total focus .

I have an idea to try, but unfortunately we wont be seeing any blaster repulsion fields in RV during the event..

An old dictionary?


[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, for you I just checked my good friend, "Webster's encyclopedic unabridged dictionary of the english language" special edition 1996:

Poppycock: nonsense; bosh. [?< D pappekak (pap soft + kak dung) ]

So when was this going to start?

the test server event MIGHT cause problems if it was this thursday..

[ QUOTE ]
Well this is bizarre, I've just tested it with a Ninjitsu stalker (thanks Deathstalker) and it takes 3 standard holds to get through Rin, it isn't any stronger at all.

[/ QUOTE ]
Which is what Ive been trying to say on several occasions.
Both clickys and toggles have their good points and bad points, as it should be.

[ QUOTE ]
It's old people speak for "rubbish" or "I do not agree with your statement".

They stopped using it around World War I I think

[/ QUOTE ]

I got it from a dictionary

I agree with Gonk on all accounts. Basesnatching, when Ive seen it used, has always been used by the side who was already overpowering the opposition..

And I hate the tactical start in RV..

GRATS! I thought I had missed this thread..

It was a triple ding night for the iconites, Antarctic blast and Mighty Mazos dinged in the same session. ANd I have to say this was the most awesome final push event Ive seen

Clearing the monster island for couple times over, it felt like a Hami raid. Totally Psychedelic.
Piccies!:

Party at Atlas

SOrry I couldnt get a pic out of the dings themselves, as you can see it was pretty graphtastic and of course me tanking GMs..

I Issue my Thanks to all of Goonies, Iconites, Inner monkey, Femme Fatales and the Iron monkeys supergroups for attending the event and helping the iconites - and ofcourse thanks to Ever-present Cameraman Coin as well . And thanks to everyone else who wandered by and joined the fray

DId I forget someone?

Grats Vanq!

Graa-ats!

How long is the tick interval in repulsion field?

Fingers crossed.. There is definitely a demand for arena terminals in the 'social' places like pockey D. Iirc there are terminals in the Golden Giza which is cool imo (there were some during the cov beta at least). Near the bar and dance floor.

Plus of course villains are lacking a cool looking place to socialize.. á la Atlas park..

Please tell me about this event as this is the first time I hear about this..?

EDIT: MEh, nevermind

Unfortunately I dont know the mez resistance magnitudes..

If you are thinking 'tankerminds' then traps is not a good choice imo.. I'd say forcefield. On the other hand, dark with its mass heal might work better with bodyguard feature.. Poison has lots of cool stuff but the things to protect itself are scarce. Same with TA. Not a 'tankermind' choice. No offense but I think traps needs some love from the devs.

[ QUOTE ]
Wouldnt that be against the EULA?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm not necessarily.. If the characters would be copied from existing animes or use their names then yes, but anime can be thought of as a genre(in this case) and characters made in anime-style wouldnt be against eula on their own.. I think.

[ QUOTE ]
You'll want power burst and stamina ASAP, drop things like aim and assault a bit further in levels.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with power burst, its very very important power. Most of my own characters usually get stamina at around 24 though..

[ QUOTE ]

For Blappers, I'll reserve my judgment until after I7 and see how many of those who's only tactic at the moment seems to be total focus actually stay active in Sirens.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can't use total focus in Sirens, its a lvl 38 attack. And I intend to keep playing my blaster

And I never made him for easy wins, when I rolled my blapper I had no clue about toggledrops. I just geared him for maximum damage (including melee attacks) and mobility and it just 'clicked'.

I also intend to level up my energy/invul brute to give defiant villains a fighting chance.. With my luck hes gonna be FOTM for some reason post-I7 and I get dissed heh.

EDIT Ps. I think Spines are being rolled a bit too often these days, but I still dont see that many of them in Sirens. Most of them are stalkers.. And I still think spines is a bit overhyped and on comparison for instance claws is underrated

Im rather interested of this, but my PVP character is only 40..

(remember tp can still be used when u r held, too).

[/ QUOTE ]

ehhh you sure? you can tp if immobed, not when sleeping-held-stunned-feared because those mezzes prevent you from activating ANY power (including tp)

[/ QUOTE ]

Somebody must be thinking of immobilize..

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

As the set was announced it sounded as if you could go without Stamina by using endu-mods in your attacks. In PvP it will be very useful to drain other players but it does not help yourself alot.


[/ QUOTE ]You actually believed that? Anybody who's tried elec/ or /elec blasters knows that the endurance given to players is minimal, no use at all in practise.

[/ QUOTE ]

On my /elec defender and my friends, the boost in end is very noticeable in PvE though At least at low lvls we have mostly peaked end bars.. Interesting.

Death throes


[/ QUOTE ]

Very nice shot - I hadn't seen that moment captured before

[/ QUOTE ]

I actually took couple more pics, but posted only that, the death animation starts with a pillar of light with the screen shaking
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~jplaukka/hami%...uying%20it.jpg
and Hami starts to shoot rays of light like in the above pic until the whole screen goes white

Nvidia ftw..

And thanks for compliments

Was good teaming with Trick Archery
I think it might be underestimated.

I think theres plenty of underestimated sets around
