The_Question

[ QUOTE ]
To quote one person I asked "why would we let a n00b prat about with the base?"

[/ QUOTE ]

You should join Scrapapocalypse. If we didn't let n00bs prat about with the base, it'd never get made...

[ QUOTE ]
I have no doubt that the Armoured Core and Precision Rangers
can and will help

[/ QUOTE ]

If you actually want some effective protection, you know who to call. Weve got our very own Mitchell brothers in Beowulf & Chives

[ QUOTE ]
At this point I'm considering using a slot later on to make it 4 slot Stamina, just for that little bit extra

[/ QUOTE ]

If a 3-5% buff is what your looking for, go waste that slot

I was on a big team destroying everything that came into the zone yesterday. Me and Blue Shadow got bored so qw quit the team and ganked our Blaster!



[/ QUOTE ]

Was that me Hobo!

Heh if it was it was well good fun and we all know it takes 2 of you now to take me out

[/ QUOTE ]

You could have got your revenge by killing him, not repeatedly toggle dropping me

People don't like being beaten. Simple as. A Storm defender got in a huff yesterday because he was our primary target. Well, if you come into Warburg with a powerset that can negate all of my powers, your going down bucko. Simple as.

[ QUOTE ]
with stamina probably 4 slotted as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't bother. You'll get 5% out of it at the most (Will probably be nearer 3% if your ++'ing).

Thats why I mentioned "Recluses Suspiciously Redecorated Atlas" which will be for 40+.

You're going to need a fair dose of perception enhancers to see through that, though it is supposedly possible.

[/ QUOTE ]

Focussed Accuracy plus Cloak of Darkness will make "Recluses Suspiciously Redecorated Atlas" a hellhole for Stalkers. Nothing can hide from me at the moment, I doubt they will be able to eather.

[/ QUOTE ]

Make sure some people on your team have Tactics too just to be excessive.

[/ QUOTE ]

I only team with Scrappers nowadays, and our tactics consist of "Hit it until it stops twitching, then nuke it.".

Our SG base had a manky bed, two photocopiers, lots of trees, my throne, Chives pile of dirt, two confrence tables and the Precision Rangers Watercooler which I stole. Beowulf went in and deleted the lot, except the Watercooler, obviously.

Ive petitioned him for destroying a work of sheer genius. Suckass.

No badly drawn stickmen and no shoddily cropped images stolen from Google. Not impressed.

Eight or nine at last count, all of which play semi regularly. Of course, each Horseman is the equal of two hundred lesser men (Or two thousand blasters) and so we are the biggest SG in the world. Statesman refuses to acknowledge this as we went to his house last week, egged and loorolled the place and threw kippers at his wife.

[ QUOTE ]
Having just tried out my build I must admit that it suffers on the endurance side as soon as I start to use my many attacks.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, DM/DA sucks major Endurance. I think somewhere along the line the devs forgot we were using Conserve Power as a crutch, so now theyve taken it away we have to go hobbling around. Solutions, anyone? Im thinking of sacrificing some recharge on some of my less powerful attacks and chaining Smite, Shadow Maul, Laser Beam Eyes and Midnight Grasp.

Just curious - where are the numbers from? I'm guessing somewhere on the US boards? (Sorry, been so busy I haven't had a chance to keep up with the US boards for a while now.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Well they sure as heck don't come from anywhere official. We all should be making informed decisions, but to make informed decisions we need to analyse the US Forums and go on data that may or may not be accurate. Its the only possible way the system could work...

The worst thing about ED for DM/DA is that I now have eight bleedin' toggles!

Im not going anywhere near PvP zones if theres even a hint of toggle droppers being in the vicinity.

[/ QUOTE ]

Every class has its big disadvantages, you just have to learn to live with it, many tanks rely on toggle powers. Controllers rely on getting you under control before you start hitting them. Team work will fill any gaps, a good defender will TP you out when toggles your held or some else that drops toggles, in mass PvP team work is all, every class has huge gaps in his defence so you will need team work.

It’s a bit defeatist to say that you are already doomed just because of one thing, Dm/DA has many advantages in PvP that should see us through.

[/ QUOTE ]

You know I read my post, and couldn't see the point where I said DM/DA was doomed. If theres an alternate thread your reading, please link me to it.

If you think teamwork will stop me getting toggle dropped, yove never really done much PvP. With toggles down a good Blaster can one or two shot me. I have NO passive damage mitigation, so when they go I go. Thats not defeatist, its fact.

But thats no different to I5, which is why I said that one extra toggle is the worst thing thats happened to us. We came out of ED pretty well because we didn't rely on multiple powers for one type of resistance. And the Endurance discount is a big bonus for us.

If you think you can get over the disadvantages of toggle dropping, your wrong Im afraid. One on one its a gamble because if they get off the magic mez resist toggle, your dead. I teams, when everythings much more hectic, you can't do jack about it in most instances except die. Its that simple.

/DA does well in PvP, but we lack the damage mitigation to survive repeated long range strikes and toggle dropping basically takes us out of the game. Thats not defeatism, thats reality.

Is it true??

And which primary is best for pvping anyway?

(yeah... i wanna go kill heroes with my stalker!!)

[/ QUOTE ]

Definitely not Tanks. Maybe SR Scrappers. Blasters, Non Sonic Defenders and Controllers, yes.

The evilest mission of all isnt in CoV.

Take one alternate dimension. Sprinkle liberally with placid, unthreatening Hydra. Add a dollop of Hero "investigation". Stir well until genocide occurs.

For some reason 1 click becomes 2 today!!! I know not why!

[/ QUOTE ]

Because you get 1 prestige for every post. Hack the planet!!!

[ QUOTE ]
Christ... The rent for that huge sign must be costing you a bladdy fortune!

[/ QUOTE ]

Prestige farming at its worst. Shame on you Doulos!

[ QUOTE ]
And how are we meant to fend of the plague that is the scrappocalypse when the sign on our door say "sorry, only one room, not terribly interesting place at the mo, come back sometime next year." Besides we're blasters, the best defence we have from the scrappocalypse is currently to run away... but wait til the 50s list is equal, then we can have some fun running away from you and shooting you whilst your nerfed regen/SR desperately tries to keep up!

[/ QUOTE ]

Least you have a room. Our door frame is propped up next to a skip in Kings Row.

And 60 members is a relatively large amount. Theres tons of small SG's consisting of a handful of friends who are getting seriously shafted by this.

I know this because I'm one of them . How the heck are we meant to fight off our arch enemies, the Precision Rangers, when the best base defense we can afford is a sign on the door that says "NO ITEMS OF POWER IN HERE. HONEST.".

The bloomin rent on the sign is crippling us. Chives has alts to feed!

[ QUOTE ]
Considering that the afformentioned group was "supposed" to be players from certain existing CoH supergroups only that explains why people have been kicked (if you weren't in those groups) and also why the member base is so high (I beleive it was 3 or 4 supergroups originally).

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, most of the SG's who were supposed to be signing up apparently didn't know anything about the fact that they were supposed to merging. Theres a thread all about the sorry saga on the Union Hero Forums.

What the OP refers to is where one of the people setting up Villains Inc. gave invitation privilieges to someone he really shouldn't have, who then proceeded to invite every Tom, Dick and Harry into it. Apparently the OP got kicked due to an argument with the "leader".

[ QUOTE ]
its very stupid. I'm sure they will notice it in time tho

[/ QUOTE ]

So what was Beta actually for?

[ QUOTE ]
Can someone pls tell me what people's problem is?

[/ QUOTE ]

They are people. On the internet. With anonymity. Acting like a tool generally ensues.
