Only other thing that can withstand a dedicated blaster is someone running unstoppable.

Or a regen blaster running IH, or a PB running lightform or... and the list probably goes on.

[/ QUOTE ]

You taking the happy pills innigo?

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol that made me laugh..

what, last man standing?

[/ QUOTE ] No, a battle royale - all against all

[/ QUOTE ]

So this means who gets most kills wins?

[ QUOTE ]
Landing a hit and a stun thus detoggling. I now have the placate problem. It will de-stun her and I suspect she wont stand around waiting for AS.

[/ QUOTE ]

Huh? placate cancels stun? I didnt know that. That'd be the first power able to do so..

About what I said, I have hover on my Blaster, because air superiority is wasted on him (bonesmasher knocks people down just as well and does lotsa more damage in the process), but I have this theory of switching to hover in case I ever need to keep airborne and shoot someone with ranged strikes. To cut back on flys endurance consumption. So far I havent needed it, instead I use fly alot sneaking up to rooftops or chasing down superjumping stalkers in Sirens. Since arenas don't have much vertical elements in the maps, I don't need it as much in there. I guess hover could be used in arenas better than in PVP zones. I have used fly couple of times hiding in the ceiling in arenas too.

In general, I think air sup is better than hover, my blaster is just a special case

Trash talk can often get out of hand, especially when combined with trashing of the person in question.

It has its fun factor, but its good idea not to use language that people would find offensive in real life. Also 133t speak isnt cool imo. I try to really avoid it.
If someone is showing symptoms of getting angry, its best to lay off.

Plus its a good idea to avoid spamming broadcast with this. Make binds in local.

[ QUOTE ]
well tainted if you are done ranting at me i would like to point out a couple of things.


[/ QUOTE ]

I think the point we were trying to get you understand was that TG was not ranting about you personally.

PS. TGs troller fights are like Japanese water torture lol

Too bad that I and TG play on defiant We could arrange a meet at test server though..

[ QUOTE ]
and it takes an age to get them all back on again...... on the current status quo I wouldnt pvp with any brute but granite

[/ QUOTE ] yes granite would be the only brute standing some luck in pvp but needs a lot of support,kinetics etc.Plus you can break granite with stacked holds ir the always working end drain technique.

[/ QUOTE ]

Only other thing that can withstand a dedicated blaster is someone running unstoppable. And that cannot be broken even with end draining. (though they will propably automatically lose after a while but its still fun to be adamant for those 3 minutes )

[ QUOTE ]

To raid them your base needs a raid teleporter installed. If you haven't got one then you are limited to defending your base. You need to place anchors around your base and defend them with your lives. Once all but 1 is destroyed its game over and the attackers win.

[/ QUOTE ]

Btw, it seemed possible to place pylons in a instant raid too, I dunno if they award victory as well even if there is no vault. For defenders wiping all attackers out simultaneously seems to count as a win too.

[ QUOTE ]

Yep them elite defenses rock. I know one hit from one of ours takes just about 1/3 of a squishys health.

[/ QUOTE ]
Unfortunately they are salvage items and require special salvage which are *bleep* to get.If I only knew where you can even get them. Apparently some TF..

If anyone got unstable rad pistols Ill pay 20k inf from each...

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
how many blasters/corrupters do you see standing their ground vs a brute? they fly high or maintain a distance so they can use their ranged attacks which is playing to their strengths.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hehe. I'll chop your lil brute to pieces with my blaster faster that you can say "Oh cra..."

[/ QUOTE ]

Seconded lol. Ive been doing it already but I usually get ASed in the back while at it hehe - I don't mind

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I wouldn't leave out either REl or REn of my build.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ditto. You're a Tank for gawd sake!

[/ QUOTE ]

Me neither. They can be taken late though.

Hmm it doesnt look that resistance HOs are very common then?
I guess I could settle for a dam/acc one then for my heal/endrec.

Somebody tp foe the cake quickly!

lol Happy birthday Spad

[ QUOTE ]
I didn't really notice the base items that much. We kinda destroyed them almost as an afterthought. They're a little bit annoying, but definitely not worth the prestige for the amount of help they provide. We don't have any in our base, and I doubt we ever will.


[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, thats what I was expecting as well. Knowing what devs usually come up with heheh... They were there precisely for me to know whether they are of any use. (prestige is not an issue in an instant raid though, I had more prestige at my disposal than I could put items in there. Less than plot upgrade though.). Propably the only items worth considering
are forcefields and repulsors(knockback). Maybe Im gonna check what the elite turrets do once we get those accursed special salvage. I suspect they are high damage turrets compared to the moderate damage ones we had last night.

Im gonna come up with better base design next time

[ QUOTE ]

We'll try and bring more guys next time too =D

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, we had 11 defenders last night, but you were getting on top of us still at the time of crash, good stuff.

I think stalkers get about the same mez protection as scrappers. Plus superreflexes and ninjitsus defense counts as well.

Hmm.. for instance, Stalker shows his face -> slap him with snow storm - autohit power,they cant run - go to town with holds..

[ QUOTE ]

I disagree that stalkers are a beginners at, i certainly am not a beginner infact i have fought a fair few scrappers and stood my ground.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you missed TGs point, he was analyzing stalkers capabilities as a whole. Main idea is that stalker can solo in a PVP zone effectively, meaning the beginner can go there and check whats going on and use normal stalker tactics and rack up some kills. Learn. Plus any build they come up with is propably already effective in PVP..

Anybody who thinks stalkers are gods of PVP by default is going to get their backsides handed to them, though.

Besides, how can you disagree with that hip movement?

[ QUOTE ]
Half the time it seemed to hinder as well as help you, though.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, as I said before, I aimed this as a learning experience. Personally I'd like the base resemble a 'superhero comics' base a bit more, heh, but I felt couple of our members were sorta serious about this so I went bit overboard with the items and corridors.

It certainly didn't help that some of our members hadn't familiarized themselves with the base as I had instructed..
I remember our teamspeak like "Jaysis! What has happened to our base?!"

[ QUOTE ]

As for Lord Zane accusing us of spawncamping: The reclimator is by far the most important base item to destroy. The turning point in most base raids is the moment when you get their reclimators, as they're forced to ressurect outside the base after that and it takes a while to get from the hospital to the base.

[/ QUOTE ]
This missed my ears, and its nothing less than I expect. Yeah I consider it as a valid tactic. Don't worry. Personally I rezzed at hospital half of the time anyway(misclicks lol, or because I didnt have rest charged)

Question: did the defensive items hinder you at all? We propably didn't mount a proper defensive line around them, as we were bit too split up, but do you think they are as useless as I think they are?
Items included: first chokepoint: Forcefield, Improved igniter+targeting module+transformer(-energy cost), second chokepoint: improved dampening ray+energy shield+sensor array, repulsor.
(Ps. the chokepoints were in fact secure transport rooms, the cheapest possible room where you can put def items.)

Btw, apparently you spawned near our base entrance? I thought that you could spawn individually anywhere? Is this the case? Or did you just regroup near the entrance? You missed 2 anchors on the way to the one that you hammered anywyay I guess they were sort of well-hidden.

PS. I hope we can have more even number of people next time Number of our founding members werent there last night including our resident regen-scrapper, DaSlasher. So you might face even more people next time. I pushed this raid defense forward even though our people werent completely prepared, because I wanted to kindle the PVP spark in them hehe Seems like it worked cause we had some practise events at arena later last night.

[ QUOTE ]
never use hover (ever) but often AS flying heroes with fly, the -acc in fly seems minimal


[/ QUOTE ]

The -acc in Fly was removed last September/October and they replaced it with Suppression.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was kinda wondering if it was still in place. I try to remember this now Means flyer only has to worry about endurance. Fly has a hefty end drain. I say that hover is near-useless power both in pve and pvp.. only my dominator who teleports around uses hover normally.

Ill try to be there too. For the record, my tank died only once during mito clearing phase last time.

Btw generally its best to use some teleport service to Cowards hill, it will avoid unnecessary GM aggro too.

Well it was good fun until the base decided to crash and award autowin for us I have to say those stormies are kinda annoying.. :P

I guess its next wednesday then, I hope we could start a bit earlier next time.

Ps. Check this out:

I reiterate that we didnt use that bug with our base last night. I waited to post about it cause you wouldve seen the rest of the base map from that pic.

[ QUOTE ]
Well, /bind b "powexec_name speed_boost" works just fine.

Putting a space in the power name would imply 2 arguments, but powexec_name only takes one.

[/ QUOTE ]

As long as you use "":s the number of arguments doesnt seem to be an issue. Game will consider everything after powexec_name and before " or $$ part of that name. When chaining multiple commands just use $$.

Im 100% sure the correct form is /bind key "powexec_name fulcrum shift". Forget using _ in names, but always use "".

.. I have had practise with multiple arguments with Mastermind binds Like /bind key "petcom_name bob follow aggressive". Im not sure what would happen if the pet has a 2 part name though, have to test.

[ QUOTE ]
There's also certain powers that make you harder to take down.

Flight is one, as AS can't hit you in midair, though Impale can. Beware of Ice Corruptors.


[/ QUOTE ]
Yes it can. All it takes is a stalker with fly Or even if you fly low enough and wont get out of line of sight.

[ QUOTE ]

Repulsion Field can help if you're out on your own.

Any armour helps.(Temp Invuln/Body Armour/Ice Armour)


[/ QUOTE ]
Not outside Recluses's victory, though.

Grats RA, well deserved!

EDIT: Neh, great minds think alike

Just reminder of the Goonies vs PD raid today.. Any other raids planned?
