Final bump from me to you. Remember to patch early and come stocked with useful candies.

Bone! There goes the profits I was able to squeak out of the market
You should be back in time for Isos; it's only what, 25 - 30 hours flight time? -
Semester has barely started and I'm already falling behind.
I was told I could escape real life problems via the internet
With so many already rolled, what side is more prevalent? Trying to balance the two sides at all or does it matter? -
Please add the following:
"Under no circumstances is anyone to follow Shamster. Stay with the team, and do not follow Shamster. Never, ever.......ever.....break from the team to go running off to "save Shamster". "
"Do what voodoo says"
"Don't blame voodoo for your silly mistakes"
"Voodoo Girl is to be known as "Voog", "Fake voodoo", or "lesser Voodoo" at any given time"
I hope my participation is well received. Thank you and good day. -

I chuckled at the Elec/Eng build. Dats a lot of recharge there. (slowly trying to emulate the speech patterns of a certain player to better get a feel for pvping)........
For basics, how useless is defense now? Still suppression for self heals? Including PBAOE heals? I figured +hp and +rch would be the name of the game, but didn't expect that much recharge. Recharge more than hp? Because I could get more HP out of that build at the cost of losing recharge. I mean, perma domination without hasten seems.......silly. -

Nurse Ratched. Oh yah shes a bad one.
Also, shocking, the two versions of this story are fairly different.

I would strongly suggest to everyone to just use SO's.

Only if you buy me dinner and movie first, and even then nothing till past first base till the third date.
Generally, though, people wind up feeling like Shamster on Friday night; alone, confused, and not sure how they beat themselves so thoroughly without having accomplished anything.
(I'll probably have my enter key unbound during these sessions for the character to avoid any misinterpretations and/or ill feelings from the Fluxs' in the group) -
Saw the build after I posted, of course. Will look at it later when I have a chance. I lol'd at gremlins a little *shrug*
"Questions are great!"
We'll play a little Voodoo-style PvP during the course of this experiment. There is no planner for this though. -
Quote:Were you going to do the Global channel thing as well? Or just with the SGs? I'm assuming there'd have to be 2 SGs. Things will be more clear once the initial session is done with, I'm sure.Originally Posted by The_Masque
"Target Levels" will be very different in event then in other groups such as Isolaters. I will be adjusting the matches and practices based on where everyone has gotten level-wise.
My goal in this is for you all NOT to have to go pve-ing on a pvp toon, because sometimes they just do not work well in PvE. This is why I am offering acclerated xp obtainment teams where I will do the work you just need to show up. The "Target Level" will be set by what the majority of people are at (again another reason why it is important for me to either have you in a sg where I can see your level or for me to be able to contact you to know what your current threat level is).
I believe I told you this on VB lastnight Voodoo, the target level for the first meeting on the 13th will be 20. If it wasn't on VB then It must have been to the team of Boot Camp participants I was on a team with lastnight.
As far as people getting xp on their own, I would actually rather they did not, because if you get to 15 and come to practice and THEN get a viable pvp build you may have selected some powers that you really don't need/want.
Will create my guy and do what I can for the leveling; I'm more than comfortable with a dual build. Time in-game is pretty limited however. And believe it or not, I've done decently in solo PvP with several builds I use for PvE. How that would translate into a group, who knows, but I'd like to think I've gotten a fairly decent grasp on this game by now. Meaning I can't imagine going too far off kilter of what you'd might be worried about.
If you are worried about a power pick or slotting here or there for a team-specific build (for me or anyone), any basic approaches you would like to see taken? Range vs melee attack? Power pools to avoid depending on the AT and/or power combo in use? Basic IO bonuses to shoot for (tho I probably won't be devling into that until I see how things play out).
BTW, I like to ask questions.

1st Offical Practice will be November 12th at 9pm EST.We will be moving this practice to Friday due to a conflict with PERC's auction on Saturday.
At this "meeting" the following will occur:- Team selection, remember that we will rebalance at least once during the season.
- I will talk to each person individually about what role your character will play in a team setting and solo pvp.
- Builds will be available for people who stayed with the suggested builds (psi/em, ss/elec, mind/fire, grav/ta). If we talked and you are rolling something different I most likely will not have a build for you but we can talk about what is needed/works in pvp and either I can make you a build in the next few weeks or you can if you feel very strongly about it. If you do not have mids hero planner please download it.
Maybe I was the only one confused, but "practice night" is not for the leveling. For this night, the 12th, you want people to be what level? I know it isn't a big deal for this one, but to get an idea of what to forward-think about. -
Quote:Not at the moment. Trying to be limiting to give the best chance for a mashup of random people to try to get this done. I can put ya down as a filler if I don't hear from others for the other roles?Originally Posted by pimpinator
i sure would have liked to join, but i don't see a spot for blasters
Again, that's the ideal set up and am still looking for buffers mostly. Will fill with whoever if the time comes and we aren't full.

We will be skipping the tutorial and starting in AP and Mercy.
I will be making a post shortly about the plan for characters.
This is looking like we will start the 2nd week of November, I will start doing invites, talking to people about their builds and offering some teaming opportunities for acclerated xp obtainment next week.

Quote:Wasn't even thinking of ranged versus melee attacks. You mean Hurl Boulderz isn't the "I pwn you" power in PvP like it is in PvE >.>Originally Posted by The_Masque
Honestly, I haven't played or played against an elec control in pvp. I just don't know how it would perform. I would hate for you to roll something only to find out it is not viable. Having said that, since we will be starting at lvl one and it won't take us 'too' long to figure if it works or not, feel free to roll that Voodoo.
As far as secondaries, earth/ice both do have power boost which is nice to add some additional time to holds but their ability to do ranged damage is pretty minimal so it really changes the toon from a spike setup/damage toon to just setting up spikes. I have seen some pretty nice /thorny assaults.
Again, I am just offering up builds that I know will work and I know how they work. If you feel strongly about trying ele/nrg I would have no problem with you rolling that.
Screw thorns.
Elec/Energy it is.
Which side we gonna start on so I can have something ready to go in the tutorial?
-
Can post in the other thread if you prefer.
The last post gives a rought set up for Mind and Earth (found earth to be an odd choice for PvP *shrug*) and you mention Energy assault. But only the two primaries?
My thoughts for this was an Elec/Energy Dominator. Poo Pooing the electrical controls for PvP?
No props for Ice or Earth assault? Both have power boost, and Earth Assault has the extra hard hitting hold in it too; I <3 Earth Assault). Ice assault was always what I saw in zone, especially that one individual we all know and love. I personally never cared for anything else in that set, but did want to give Energy a try as I already have Earth down. -
Am I going to be able to pick the combo I want and try to make it viable? or is it more of a "pick from this select group only" kind of thing?

Did you set up a tab to include the chat in it? Did you see others talking in it? I think you get a message if you are really silenced and try chatting it up.
