Well, not that I'm much of a PvPer, but in regards to shields being knocked off equalling death, you will probably be glad of the big changes to toggle-dropping in PvP coming in Issue 7. Check out the Test Server forum for info (and much [censored] from Blappers ).

Grats, mate, well deserved!

Woohoo!!! Thanks guys and gals!

Amanda Pierson and Hawaiin Punch become Heroes of the City

Thanks all (ALL) those who were there and made the ding happen. 4 out of 6 heroic AT's now at 50 for me, Controller and Kheldian next on the hitlist.

Missed Graventite off team 2

Can't remember exact details but he was a stalker and I think he was lvl 40.

[/ QUOTE ]

Done on purpose. Didn't he leave after 1 mission or something?

Excellent, looks like Amanda hits 50 tonight as well then. But until then I'll bring a 50. Will be online soonish.

Success! Thanks to the guys and gals at Customer Support, Seethe has rightfully been awarded Crystal Keeper. Thanks to the GMs involved!

Annoyment currently reigns in Seethe-town. Grrr ...

More stuff regarding the SF coming when I'm less angry.

Did this happen?

If not and a rerun is planned for Sunday, I wouldn't mind coming along on @kinslayer

[/ QUOTE ]

Happening today, Sunday!

Sorry for the confusion, but I did technically post it after Midnight.

"Why the hell are you doing this one now? Why not the others? Why such short notice too, you jerk?" you ask. Well, its because of this . Crystal Keeper, the badge for this SF, is required for the Villian equivalent of the Vanguard medallion coming in I7 (which might not be too far off now), although of not much to me as the perennial Brute, will no doubt be of use to others. And hell, if it equals badges, I'm in.

Short notice because I thought everyone was going to be in Bristol this weekend. Its not quite that bad, so lets do a SF!

Meeting point is Ice Mistral herself inside the Golden Giza in St. Martial at 2pm on Sunday 14th (yes, today ). Team size required is a minimum of four, and the level requirement is 35-40 (I believe). This is completely new ground for me and I can't find a lot of info about the SF, so if anyone can provide some, please do.

I'll be attending as the sinister, brutish Seethe, lvl 40 Fire/DA Brute. Muahahaha!

Sign up below or simply show up at the allotted time and place. Any questions, ask below or get me in-game @MBar.

Well, the Stealth Team was done in about 10 mins.

We took a bit longer (hour and a half), but then we did fight our way in, around and out of the Cavern.

Sam Wincott is freed, Kaogo is defeated, and it's all thanks to these guys.

Thanks for the Trial guys! That's all the TF's and Trials done on MBar now, TF Commander Accolade here I come!

Next week: There may be villiany afoot ... Muahahahaha!!!

looks good enough to me, although personally I'd be taking RPD earlier, and using the extra slots in Brawl and Jab in Tough Hide or something.

If I can drag you away from I7 for a couple of hours, the Onslaught is heading for the Hollows and the Cavern of Transcendence.

Meeting point: Karsis, the contact guy. Gimme a shout if you can't find him and I'll arrange a TP.

Time: 2pm Sunday, 7th May

Duration: Hopefully a couple of hours tops, but we might have mutliple runs due to failure or some such.

Level Range: 10 - 15

Team size required: 8 (all the way through too, 8 glowies need clicked at the same time)

Wants:
- Someone with Stealth powers and Recall Friend, as this is apparently a bugger of a Trial and a Stealther aids things considerably
- People who actually know what they're doing, as I've not done this before.

As I've not done this one before ever, MBar himself will be attending for the badgie. With this, I'll have done every TF and every Trial in CoH!

Any questions, ask below or get me in-game @MBar.

PS: What the hell is going on with the board? No bold, no smilies ... Grrr ...

Grats, mate!

The question is:would it be do-able without temporary invurnerability?

Skip Temp Invuln and you'll not be awaiting pain, you'll be feeling it constantly.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just worrying that it might be a little end heavy, but then again it's only 3 toggles.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly. Two End Red's in each will see you through. If you're still finding things End heavy, slot your attacks with 1 a piece.

It's fixed alright, and has been for a while.

No Energy-Transfer-suicides for a long time now.

Next week, the Caverns of Transcendence. Yes, that's right! The TF Onslaught now becomes the Trial Onslaught! New thread coming in a couple of days.

Grats! Dinging on the Onslaught is the best way.

And since MBar seems to have forgotten to update this, ...

[/ QUOTE ]

MBar forgets nothing! MBar simply couldn't stop playing the damn game until 12.40 at night to post here ...

44.5 now by the way, plus Freedom Phalanx Reserve accolade too ...

[ QUOTE ]
I've not decided who to bring to this. I doubt my Blaster will get to 44 in time, so I'll probably get my flying Scrapper Night Helm out again for this one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ignore that bit of the original post, Amanda is 43.5 now, so 44 by Sunday should be doable. Blastering in the Shard is back!

Once again, thanks one and all who attended. Check out the thread for SS4 in the Union Heroes forum now!

Yes, maybe I'm being stupid about this. Originally the TF's ran at 2pm, with an earlier run being introduced at 10am.

So would 2pm suit you lot better / the same?

Edit: Bah, screw it. 2pm it is, its my Onslaught dammit. Original post changed as well.

Nemesis, Praetorians, Rikti, Rularuu ... the Shard has no end to nefarious villians trying to unlock its many mysteries, but this week should see the end to some of them, as we embark on the last Shadow Shard TF, The Saga of Lanaru.

Task force information is here.

The level range is 44 - 50, so only the very high levels need apply.

Time required for the Task Force is quite a bit IIRC. A proper estimation is beyond me, if someone remembers how long it is, please post below.

Required team size is a full 8 man team, which may prove awkward unfortunately ... but we can get teams started with less than 8.

Our meeting point is Faathim the Kind, the contact for the TF, based inside the actual Chantry building in the Chantry at 2pm (note the new time!) on Sunday 30th April. Hopefully you'll know where I mean: Shadow Shard 3 concludes inside the building in question (the Death Star-like floating strucutr in the middle of the Chantry). If you have problems reaching the TF contact, send me a tell in game to @MBar and I'll get you a TP.

I've not decided who to bring to this. I doubt my Blaster will get to 44 in time, so I'll probably get my flying Scrapper Night Helm out again for this one.

Any questions, ask below or get me in-game @MBar.

Yet if Max says only damage is 'primairy', why isnt recharge boosted? (or at least, realy not that i notice).

[/ QUOTE ]

Its the effects of the power that is boosted. Recharge isn't an effect (i.e. it doesn't act on anything), its just a attribute of the power.

Make sense?

Darkshift goes at it like this:

Radiant Aura: 3x Heal / 2x Recharge Red / 1x End Red

Rad Infection: 3x End Red / 3x ToHit DeBuff
(I've got a Hami-O in this, so there more Def Debuff than is really neccessary. )

Enervating Field: 3x End Red

Mutation: 1x Recharge Red

Lingering Rad: 2x Acc / 3x Recharge Red

Acc Meta: 3x Recharge Red / 3x End Mod

Choking Cloud: 3x End Red / 3x Hold
(Don't use Choking Cloud myself, the high End cost and lack of accuracy are too much for me.)

Fallout: Waste of a power.

EM Pulse: 2x Acc / 3x Recharge Red
(Rarely used without Power Build Up.)
