On Union?

I'd sign this only if we could use it on other peoples' accounts - make people to leave for u.s. servers for a moderate fee.

Also, it's worth trying PvP with other ATs, especially as you seem to have a AR/Dev (/Device blasters are great for newbie stalker hunting), to see how they view stalkers and then learn from that.

Good, good. Weekends are probably better for many people than deadlines during the week. I know they are for me.

Inv's strong point really isn't the Resistance

It's the (when played right, capped) defense it gets when surrounded by large number of enemies when using Invincibility. There is a slider in Mids' that allows you to increase the number of targets affected in Invincibility. Take a look how the defense numbers go up. a 45% or higher defense means you get hit 5% of the time unless the enemy has some form of +tohit (which are rare cases). The weak spot of Inv is psi.

This doesn't mean that Inv is better than Elec. Just wanted to point out what you had missed They're both great, but they're a bit different in what they're great at.

Hopefully there won't be that many forced specific weekday match nights, as some of us have to work late every now and then. So some leeway in the dates when matches have to be fought by would be appreciated.

Have you tried drag-dropping the .cohdemo file to you CityofHeroes.exe (not the updater or shortcuts) icon? that's the only way I got them to work.

Great footage btw

Good fun all, thanks for the matches

Well, that was a blast.

Parting thoughts from the Girls to you lot

The coral idea is nice, but what's the selling point of the sets? What sets it apart? Besides the graphics that is.

Most of the sets have a "signature power" of sorts, and I'm not really seeing it here. Might be just because I'm tired..

Given a choice. Would you like a Round Robin style event or like Double Elimanation system posted above ?
Team leaders only please.

(Well, basically I'm content with them having the same powersets on both defenders. Would be nice if someone outside the team could of course verify this)

[/ QUOTE ]

If I'm allowed to assume this part. Quick asked me if i would vouch for the same powersets of Danny and Weedy and here i am. I can say that the sets are the completely same. I hope that this can help.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good enough for me.

As i see it, it's a couple of friends that are trying to take part in an activity that have been let down by their leader (which i imagine there's a very good reason for) so why moan about someone trying to take part in some fun?

[/ QUOTE ]

Good point. Formal complaint withdrawn.

If a protest is lodged the switch goes ahead but will count as the teams sub for every match.

[/ QUOTE ]

Consider this a lodged protest.

[ QUOTE ]
Because our team leader hasn´t been seen for about two weeks, we are sorry to say that we dediced to replace him. This means that @weed (303 Child/Defender) will constantly be replaced by @Danny (Egypt Cat/Defender) and from now on I will take the lead on the German Psychos. We are sorry about this decision but it is the only way for us to participate in X4.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh boy.

Raising the same issue about this as Globey raised about Max's team. Switching teammates isn't really something I want to see this late after the registrations.

When you registered your team, your team leader had already been gone for a week.

Leaving the handling of this matter into the organizers' hands, but protesting against such a late team-mate swapping as it seems awfully calculated to me.

Seriously speaking, Cherry's tree looks good to me.

Why is everything in this turned into an epic?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because PvP Drama is the best Drama.

The Golden Girls would like to take this moment to inform that we'd be happy with the decision of whoever would be fighting the space opera gets a pass. We're also quite happy if this debacle causes even more teams to back out.

Less competition and all that...

The Girls are waiting for you...

We can deal with one evening. Only one of us who would prefer to do it longer, and if she dozes out, we'll just use Syn as our substitute girl after his team has dropped from the competition.

Assault Rifle isn't really that good compared to Archery. Ignite is great, but you need something to keep the enemy in it.

Cloaking device is as good as stealth, stealth-wise. And you don't get the movement penalty of normal Stealth. And if you get a +Stealth IO in your movement power, it is as good as invisibility, without the "unable to attack" thing.

A good rule of thumb is that if you have to choose between a pool power and a primary/secondary power that seem to be doing the same thing, the primary/secondary is a better version of it.

Since none of my teammates have bothered answering me on this even when asked, so I'm taking control and saying I'm cool with doing it in one night, and so's my grandmother...s.

This post might be edited if someone in our team protests.

EDIT: At least one of our team members would prefer having it over two nights, saturday-sunday.

(there is no drama like pvp drama)

Team 2 : Pirates of the Paragean Vs Team 5 : The Golden Girls, Then the Winner Fights Team 4 : Space Dudes
Pirates Vs grandma's in the second fight, will team 2 be consigned to davy jones locker or will it be nanageddon for team 5. The winners then face team 4's space dudes who's roster reads like a scifi show from yesteryear, lets hope they dont get cancelled.

We would like to greet our future opponents with a death threat thinly veiled as a musical hello

I was in S4, and from my teams @matijas was as well (he in fact reactivated his account just to take part in X4 )

@aldwych was too, but he was a cheerleader back then, didn't actually participate in the matches.
