No wonder there isn't many people on Defiant these days.

Just had a thought, which server can carry out the first simultaneous double take down of Hamidon union might be able to do a triple take down if every one that had a 50 turned up but i can't see that happening yet lol.

I get the feeling that Hamidon Raids might be carried out in secret to minimise the amount of useless players in the hive. Which is unfortunate as i'd rather have a fully advertised everyone welcome system. Thinking about it, if the raid was organised on the forums people could meet in Eden sort themselves into teams and enter the hive till it was full. As soon as the second instance appears, everyone on the ball and not afk could go in the second instance lol. This would go some way in reducing players that will stand around. Would need a code name to refer to it anyone turning up late won't be able to enter.

Thanks everyone that joined.

There have been a few hami tests carried out by SGs. Where people tried out a few things, nothing really came of it though. No one seems that bothered to try Defiant's Die-a-lot method.

I haven't noticed that bug on test where my kin is fully slotted. Power Boost is great as it doubles your heal and if you time it right you won't notice the bug. Although you might want to drain endurance from a boss with a power boosted transferance. I'd only slot fulcrum shift with 2 accuracy and 2 recharge. Siphon Speed is better with accuracy slotted than recharge. I use 4 pace of the turtle, 2 tempered readiness and get the chance for recharge slow. If you can find Hami-Os slot 3 endred/tohit in Tactics.

I don't use Bold, I prefer Ariel Liqui-tabs. I'll have tea thanks, oh and pass the biscuits round.

Put 2 accuracy IOs in Transfusion and 4 numina's convalescence as these give a 6% bonus to heal powers. Slot another 4 in health along with the unique from that set and you can boost your heal from 468 to 500. Expensive though, i've only managed to slot two in each on my kin.

Had another patrol of IP this morning and he's still not around lol. I should have named this thread 'Lusca Watch'.
Going to have another patrol at 8pm tonight.

Did I say do well? No. Did I say a chance? Yes

I even put it in italics for you guys...

As mentioned above, 4 seconds with every shield in the set, even against a few opponents is pretty rubbish. Even with high damage that my enhancement layout has yielded balanced against recharge time and endurance usage, taking on a single Mastermind was deemed pointless because his shields against melee we're stupidly more powerful that my own, even with said hero scrapper having the magus shield and the MM having just repulsion field.

As a casual gamer, it just feels wrong.

If they were computer controlled NPCs with a difficulty level, would it still be wrong?

Just been patrolling for Lusca and I can't find him. Someone must have mentioned to him that we were going to attack.

How long does Lusca take to appear?

But what I don't understand is that the union and defiant players most talked about C4, but were the servers with the lowest count of registrations :/
Although we changed the rules for them/you.

Unfortunately all happend during a big CC round-change, so that the communication with NC was very difficult at this time.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think people saw the rules and thought 'not interested' but then didn't find out they had changed. I'd largely forgotten there was going to be a competition until my team leader reminded me. I hadn't seen the dates for the sign up and the start of C4 which were posted back in April. So more information on these forums would have been helpful and raised more interest. No need to wait for Bridger and Co as you could have posted it.

We needed a registration at our website because we developed some scripts, which had made the event as easy as possible.
(If you know our eventmanager, you know what I mean)
There was some kind of realtime match reports, standings, automatically blocked sidewings, match demo database et cetera...
The teams don't have to wait for any official administration person to get all things updated.
We already put a lot of time in the development of these scripts - so this decision was bad for us too.

This all sounds nice but no one on the English forums uses your website forums much (that I know of) and would have to go out of their way to sign up. So I'm not that surprised that 75% of the teams were from Zukunft as they are the players that probably use the forums and didn't need to do anything apart from register teams. Also as I said above people saw the rules, weren't interested and didn't bother signing up.

Edit: The only C4 thread about C4 on these forums, apart from the initial announcement by Bridger was started by a Union player. Maybe Defiant and Union are just used to Sign Up, Discussion and Looking for Team threads for PvP competitions.

I'll be on Captain Incarcerate

Would anyone be interested in joining me to fight Lusca? Tonight 8pm where ever Lusca is in IP. The more people the better. Bring along a new player and show them how mad it is

Looks to me like your trying to fight scissors with tissue paper. No travel powers is really bad, people that expect enemies to just stand there and get hit make me laugh. Sure thats what happens in PvE lol. I had a fight with a dark/SR in the arena purely because he said over broadcast that he was sexy. First i beat him with my illusion/kinetic controller, that has one hold and then i fought him with my MA/SR because he wanted to go toe to toe (stand still and hit each other). Needless to say I won because I used Elude first and just before it dropped I moved to the other side of the map so he couldn't hit me. Then i moved back and kicked him around when his dropped. He was shocked as he had no trouble fighting AVs lol.

its a generic term used to describe the same old people always jumping on everyone with something different to say.

The amusing thing is that every time I come up with the casual gamers interpritation, I get a reply from the stat police. Have you considered that people just want to enjoy the game, whatever their gamer style, which is precisely the point I'm trying to make about balance.

Defenders vs. Masterminds. What can I say really, defenders are team players with a lot of aid other powers. Masterminds have that ability, some stupidly powerful shields and they bring thier own team.



While masterminds can be excellent in given circumstances, teleport foe will suddenly change the MM from a tanker into a 2-shot squishie. As buffs go, nobody can argue that defenders win buffing contest hands down.

This makes me laugh, Masterminds are like Defenders except with a team. The Kinetic comes out on top.

because your chances of getting even one person down when you are outnumbered is just ridiculious.

Depends on the AT, player and how good they are. A Blaster can nuke a group of players and possibly take out a few.

Wouldn't a solo PvP'er that could take down 3 or more villains without a scratch be slightly overpowered?

With arena terminals at the Pocket D, the Arenas are now a few short moments away from where-ever you were fighting. If the fighting at the zones bothers you too much, take the fight to the arena, that way you can ensure the fights happen at the terms you set. And they're incredibly fun.


[/ QUOTE ]


True, but I was pointing out the shortfall in trying to have one on one fights, as team vs team or team vs solo are so utterly one sided.

[/ QUOTE ]

One on One fights are possible, just don't broadcast the location. Team vs Team fights depend on the teams involved and why would team vs solo fights be anything but one sided?

I've only done PvP twice in zones since i9 arrived. Once in Siren's and once in RV. Both had a decent amount of players. Things will pick up once people get the IO's they need. Everyone is welcome to join in the PvP on test, on Monday nights. Everyone meets at Pocket D arena for random mixed team fights. Its good because you get to team with everyone and there is no bitterness like you find in some zones. I'd have to say the standard is pretty high though.

I seen you slow the hell out of me with your TA/A in WB once too

Don't think I've been there with my TA/A since I9 came out.

I'd go with Dark/Cold corrupter. Now i just need to play mine more.

MM in bodyguard mode is nothing against a Kinetic Defender. Or is that just me?
