Nine_Claws

Generally because there are 6/7 people who do it regularly. It's a great team if you can get in. Remember doing this on the very first week successfully, and since then, they have honed their skills....and generally finish it within 2 hrs.

Put me down as a reserve please.
Claws/Regen Scrapper

Can't make today, but if you're willing to change to tomorrow, then I'll join. Either fire/axe Tank or claws/regen Scrapper, if you can accomodate me!!!

We did have enough, but the way we was doing it was wrong, yes we may have been shorter on certin ATs but each time we jumped in we all got murdered in seconds

[/ QUOTE ]Yep, that one was a nightmare...must have tasted earth on at least 5, maybe 6 occasions. Lagg was the worse I've seen for a while, so when I crashed at about 9:52pm approx...I couldn't be bothered to verify my files etc...so apologies to my team for that, especially Galaxy Cop (who I was sking at the time).

However, once we got organised...we took down Ukon Gr'ai quite easily...but the failed 3/4 attempts before...were very haphazard. It's not a slur on anyone, but no-one seemed to be in control on that raid.

Grats Captain!
Likewise, as Flush said...I Thought you'd hung your capes up!
Well done, this might inspire me to push on for my second 50 too...!

To get the beacon for each zone, you need to visit every exploration badge location (whilst in SG/VG mode). Details of where to find them are at www.vidiotmaps.com . If you download the ingame overlay, the badges will be shown on the maps whilst ingame, making it easier to find them!

Good Luck with the claws - Focus, Follow Up Shockwave all great powers.
Just be careful with the cone KB on big teams

[/ QUOTE ]On teams I find that running ahead of tanker into mob, hit shockwave for great orange numbers, then let the tank aggro them... But as stated before claws is mainly single target, compared to spines.

Spin is always good for AoE damage when standing next to a tanker who has control of the aggro...! Followed by Eviscerate.

I have set up my own SG (for my alts) and have currently maximised both my control and power levels.

I have the smallest plot available, to avoid paying rent.
I currently have a workshop (2x2), a main room (3x3) and a teleport chamber (3x3), excluding the portal room.

I would like to have 3 perhaps 4 teleport pads (will be changing the teleport room from 3x3 to (2x)2x2 shortly), a workbench, a salvage rack, an inspiration collector and an invention workbench for starters....[u]Is this possible on the standard power+control supply?[u] If not what do I need to do, to achieve this?

Glacial Blade, Ice/Axe iirc, Only 3*50s? *cracks whip*
Too much time on the forums...

[/ QUOTE ]As well as too many alts, too much debt, and too little powergaming

[/ QUOTE ]I'm with you on that one MaX.... Congo rats all the same!

Have you played any RWZ content yet Faultline? seeing as there is also a generic hero called "Faultline"!! who has granite armour and stone cages...a troller/tank combo nice! I'm surprised they haven't genericised your alt yet?

[/ QUOTE ]I'm sort of expecting to have to change my name one day. No one ever mentioned it before they revamped Faultline (the zone) but now I often get polite tells pointing out my mistake. There was mention of a new hero by that name in the Faultine arc I believe - didn't know they'd introduce him tho.

[/ QUOTE ]I like your name, hope they don't change it too soon... but i'd like to have a stone tank/troller combo thou!

back to OP, would have loved to help, but can't make sunday night...sorry!

NO, go for a Claws/Regen scrapper. Easy to solo fast, and when teaming you'll be one of the last to drop!

Max will say a fire/rad troller is the best way to go, for fast xp.

But I'll also consider Tanking too.... my preference is fire as primary, with whatever secondary you want. But if you go down the fire route, take SJ as a travel power, as you will need the kb resistant (Acrobatics) power.

Was it 16-21 lvl range?

[/ QUOTE ](To earn XP) Red tomax says 15-20, paragonwiki says 15-21. Anyone above lvl 15 can take part though

Grats on your achievement Psy.

Thanks for posting the screenshot, been a while since I've seen the 50 ding graphics.

Shame it's not as easy for heroes to take out the villain AVs in RV. A team of 8 of us (inc. 2 granite tanks and 3 heavies) managed to defeat BS, LR, GW and Scirroco very easily (within 2-5 minutes each)....but Mako was a different proposition altogether. We finally downed him after what seemed like 30 minutes or more...And just as we finished him, a rad troller turned up....which would have saved us soooooo much time, nvm! have the badges now anyway!

I can't make it unfortunately (even though I'd love to do it), but Bear has posted in another thread that it will take an extra 1.5 hrs more than STF....so I'll expect 4-5 hrs to complete it. Reading the details on Paragonwiki shows that there are lots of EB/AV enemies!

Defiant is and will always be my homeserver (even though my villains are on Union due to charslot space)

[/ QUOTE ]Likewise.

The villains I currently have on Defiant...will be moved to Union (for a small fee) after i10 goes live, so I can free up more slots for more heroes!!!

[ QUOTE ]
Now it could just be that all the talkative players are now much higher level, so I don't get to see them much yet (My Defiant character is lvl 14) but even so, compared to Union, it seems deathly quiet on all fronts.

[/ QUOTE ]It's weird really, I've found the opposite ocurring to me. Defiant (my main server) is always busy, and find it easier to team with others (chatty or not)...but Union has always been much quieter IMO, especially Villains.

How much did you drink so you could hardly see?

[/ QUOTE ]I was on my ninth pint of magners when I gave up, I know im a [censored].

[/ QUOTE ]That explains a lot, my co-ordination suffers after 5 or 6 generally, so getting to 9 and still playing...is an achievement of sorts.

P.S. I wasn't in the team, I'm just replying to your post!

Remember someone posting a week after i9 started, who sold a Ruby for 8m! Not that's what you call good selling skills!!

[ QUOTE ]
1st one was a bit sticky but others were like teflon. Thanks for organising it

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, dunno what happened first time, bit of mis co-ordination, still....bashed a few more red caps just for the fun of it.

Got 2 poor recipes for 2nd and 3rd runs, one is worth 1k and the other 30k, lol. Still the manticore one I got first up, was worth 600k....so evened itself out!

P.S. Thanks to Colonel Crane for last minute sub, aswell as Cynic for her 2nd a/c to boost numbers.

Our people are too busy making alts
and ES means Europian server as far as I know.

[/ QUOTE ]ES Server = European Server Server??!

[/ QUOTE ]No, my abbreviation stands for "English speaking", like Defiant and Union.

I tend to write ES, rather than type Defiant+Union which takes longer, just laziness I know.

Zukunivigidef - Nice Name Blademan, don't think it will catch on thou....and should Start Defunivigizuk IMO, seeing as Defiant is the predominant server for people that have posted in this thread, lol,

After seeing the number of posts recently, congratulating people who have dinged lvl 50, it appears that Defiant is challenging Union again for the best ES server title.

Just a quick congratulations to anyone who has hit lvl 50 during June and July so far. And with GG recruiting as many new people to Defiant as possible, we will reign supreme.

When the servers are merged....a probability rather than a request, Defiant will be the name chosen, obviously.

But, aid self just seems to give my opponent an advantage that strikes me as unfair.

[/ QUOTE ]This is a pool power that you have to sacrifice another power for, so they person who takes the medicine pool set is being disadvantaged if anything.

To even up the score, we should do away with all pool powers, then you'll have something to complain about. When your endurance as a tanker has gone in 30 seconds, because you can't have stamina, you'll whistle another tune. Then there's the fact you won't have acrobatics (extra mez defence) or a travel power..... [unnecessary and unhelpful comment removed, Bridger]

Live without pool powers would be much harder, than just fighting someome who has aid self?

As a side note, does your tanker have any AoE's....they are very effective at interrupting aid self!

Any red numbers you see above your head, count towards the badge, including falling.

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, no.
Terra Volta Reactor and Red Damage Crystals don't count for the damage taken badge. And any damage that keeps you above your unbuffed hitpoint cap isn't counted. (so if you have 100 hitpoints and +20% Max HP, while your hitpoints stay above 100 HP, they don't get counted) unless they've fixed that already.

[/ QUOTE ]Really, I never knew that...! Thx
