^^ Pretty much this. They'd experimented with allowing the pets to persist across zoning but the game would lose track of who the "owner" was, so they'd appear as hostile and would attack you as soon as you zoned in.

Err... this seems more like a dueling build than a standard PvP Emp build. Is that your intent? If so I'd have to look at the build in more detail, but if you were going to play the standard PvP Emp role, this build is pretty bad. I've got the PvP build for my Emp/Dark but it's at home and I don't have access to it at the moment.

Fire/EM was hands-down the best prior to I12, until Blasters got Psi Blast. In I13 the better Blaster builds are Sonic/EM and Psi/EM (not necessarily in that order). I've also seen people do decently with Arch/EM and Arch/MM.

Nice stealth name change there.

League is on Justice. Winners from each server will face other winning teams on test, if I understand correctly. As far as I can tell, Justice and Pinnacle have leagues, and Triumph might as well. Not sure about other servers.

If you've already got a Spines, I'd keep at it, but if you're just starting out a new Scrapper I'd go with BS or Fire.

Yeah, the reason I'm asking about the waiting is because I noticed the "discussion" in Pinnacle's 3v3 thread about heal decay. I would rather not switch rules in the middle of the tournament, but at the same time I'd rather not play with heal decay. However, I'm just one person and really it should be decided by the participants as a whole.

Fire, Illusion, Mind, Earth is ok. For a secondary you'll want Rad, Therm, or Storm (TA if you want to be an annoyance to Stalkers, but that'll mean everyone will be gunning for you).

There's your problem.

I see Pinnacle's league is has a set start date. Is the plan for the Justice league still to wait until I15 goes live so we have the "no heal decay" option?

EDIT: Adding in our team name... "Our Team Goes To Eleven."

I'm still bright-eyed and full of wonder, except the eyes are glowing deep red and it's a different kind of wonder.

Yeah, my Fire/SS Tanker running the base -KB empowerment (10 points of protection) was still getting tossed around a fair amount during the Citadel TF. Outside of Council missions (neither common nor uncommon in level 50 story arcs/TFs) I've yet to have any major issues with the 4 points of protection he's currently got.

I always thought that generic'ing a character was something that happened while the character was offline (much like your subscription running out doesn't boot you off immediately, but refuses to let you log in again until you resub). However, I was on a sewer team with someone when suddenly their name in the team window changed and their costume became a default black.

Most effective way I've seen this particular mission done is to spawn for 8 (either have people fill, or broadcast that you're doing the badge, and you'll usually get people interested) on the 2nd or 4th difficulty. Get a Tanker with Taunt and a Controller with a low-damage AoE immobilize (Grav or Earth seem to be used most often). Everyone gathers up the MI's in a large group, the Controller puts the AoE immob on auto, and the Tanker puts Taunt on auto. Meanwhile the other team members can look around the map to find more MIs to bring into the group, or just kill decoys as they spawn. Fastest I've got the badge was 5 kills to 500 kills in about 40 minutes.

Oooh, looks cool.

I wonder how long until someone posts "Will my post count transfer too?"

[/ QUOTE ]Two posts above you (more or less).

[/ QUOTE ]

Let it be noted that I didn't ask if our post count will be transferred over or not. I actually do NOT want to have the post count shown and I wouldn't be totally against the reg. date not showing either. Too many people have 'ego' battles because of both of those (less of the reg. date though from what I've seen).

Edit: vbulletin...obviously I can only wait and see but....I'm not enthusiastic about vbulletin :/

If I'm not mistaken, the I13/Mac closed beta forums were using a database that was essentially a clone of the BB boards. I can't seem to get to those forums at the moment, but it listed post counts and they weren't reset from the copy from the live boards (not sure about reg date).

Think you want more damage in power push in i15. May be wrong though its been a long day and my brain is a bit fuzzy.

[/ QUOTE ]
Power Push doesn't do damage in PvP (wtf, it got PvE buffed!).

Interestingly enough, this is the best news I've heard out of Paragon Studios in a while. Good to hear!

IMO Synapse is one of the more open and approachable developers, both via forum PM and out-of-game email.

No, they're not. It was, however, said that they were unhappy with the way slows worked in PvP.

Yeah, it's never on when I'm watching TV, I need to see if it's on Hulu or something.
