Alvan

[ QUOTE ]
So I have been wondering are there even any SG, in the game, that have uniforms or even go so far as only having one kind of power sets or archetypes, say only fire or only dark, or even a only Rad/Rad corrupters.

[/ QUOTE ]

The College of War has sort of an uniform policy for its members, it being a sort of a formal institution. But we're an "anything goes" type of SG powerset/AT -wise, so the theme is more in the "RP" department for us also. (Not that many of us actually RP, but it's nice to have an unified feel in SG TFs and other events )

Some CoW uniform examples can be seen here

[ QUOTE ]
If I've understood correctly, these will be the teams:

[u]Level 21:
Team Name: The Golden Girls[u]
Team Captain: @Alvan - Controller - Grandma Gamma
Team Player 2: @aldwych - Mastermind - Nana Banana
Team Player 3: @dilithium - Defender - Nannakins
Team Player 4: @matijas - Scrapper - Granny Demon
Team Player 5: @Spork - Blaster - Hot N Older

[/ QUOTE ]

And of course I didn't get all the names correct. @dilithium's defender is called "Nannakins" and @Omicron Patient switched his global name to @matijas

[ QUOTE ]
Dual Pistols!

With an 'a'. Unless the set is designed such that you take 10 paces back from your target each time you fire, it's not 'duel' pistols!

/rant off

[/ QUOTE ]

It's posts like these that make the Duel Pistol threads worth their while

[ QUOTE ]
EDIT: SEVEN TOGGLES!? GTFO!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, make them Auto powers.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm still thinking of entering a one man heavy weight team and F.£$^ing up all of Alvans crew myself

only jocking mate couldn't resist

[/ QUOTE ]

Those are fighting words, my friend

Seriously, as this is mostly about having fun, get a team together with your mates and come whoop our arrogant butts for good.

[ QUOTE ]
When the time is right :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Until that, still winning by default

[ QUOTE ]
Alvan....

I can assure you that you won't be winning by default..... In heavyweight at least

[/ QUOTE ]

Less talk, more registrations

[ QUOTE ]
Both, although if the same team wins both divisions I reserve the right to re-allocate the Featherweight prizes (most likely to the runner-up).

[/ QUOTE ]

As it still seems the both teams I belong to still seem to be winning by default, I would like to get a bit more clarification on the matter - our teams have 3 core members that are in both divisions and two that are weight class -specific. Do we count as "the same team" or not?

They're announcing that they'll announce something on Wednesday...

I am betting this has to do with when they earlier [Removed]

Are we there yet?

Cali Schmali.

[ QUOTE ]
Just wondering if anyone here got Gun Drone? I just got it and while its duration and cast times are rubbish I find the deviance bonus very yummy. But I guess in the long run I'll end up dropping it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've been thinking that an Elec/Devices could make a decent constant damage dealer with Drone and Sentinel, but otherwise, I just can't see myself to wasting a slot for it

Nothing huge has changed since the last build. I'm probably doing a bit more IO-oriented build the next time I respec... perhaps something like this:

The levels for pool powers might vary a bit or I might go back to the original configuration with those.

Edit: whoops, forgot a +perception IO from there

I disagree with your disagreeing, but also with what you're disagreeing to.

Thanks to all those who got it

Also, I think this one is just brilliant:

[ QUOTE ]
I'd love to suggest one for the Primary though - Queensbury Rules: any foe within the PBAoE can't use any underhanded tactics. Freaks can't revive, Sky Raiders can't teleport and those damn clowns can't go intangible. Stand still while I hit you, you cur! Have at thee you scoundrel!

Burn Defiant, you say? *lights matches* Where do I sign up? *burns fingers with lit matches* ouch.

Ye Olde Sense of Honour (Tanker Primary)

Dressed for the occation - Auto - Res(Cold, Fire, Slow, Debuffs, Knockback, Repel, Knockdown, Endurance Drain, etc.)
"You are always prepared for the harsh extremities of weather and won't let some silly blizzard or heatwave slow you down"
Minor damage resistance, good prot/res vs. that sort of status effects

Higher education - Toggle - Res(Psi, Negative Energy, Confuse, Sleep)
"As an Oxford Graduate you dismiss the supernatural with your rational thought"
Good resistance.

Better than you - Toggle - Res(All), Def(All), +Regen, +Perception
"There is nothing you haven't faced and as long as you stay alert, it makes you better at dealing with anything thrown at you."
Just a minor buff to all defenses and resistances. Hefty regen and perception buffs.

Stiff Upper Lip - Clickie - Self Heal, Res(Status effects not mentioned elsewhere)
"As a true gentleman, you do not show emotions. If you're hurt, it is only your own business."
A self-heal that doubles as a status protect/resist.

Hefty melee defense and S/L resistance.

Arrogance - Toggle - Taunt Aura, Foe +DMG

Enemies around you get taunted and get a BUFF to their damage because they're so annoyed. Autohit aura.

Finesse - Clickie, PBAoE special, needs tohit check
"You are unimpressed with these shows of brute force"
All enemies withing the aura suffer a debuff that turns all their positive buffs into negative ones. +dmg becomes -dmg and Vengeanced Prussian troops become the useless pieces of scrap metal they actually are.

Aim - Clickie - +tohit, +dmg
"Your cool mind lets you work as a precise instrument"
Ye Olde Aim.

Where the Sun Never Sets - Clickie - Self invulnerability, +regen, +recharge, +recovery. PBAoE sleep.
"You notice that it's time for tea somewhere in the Empire and explain your opponents how you will now have to take a break from fighting."
Makes you invulnerable and gets you back into fighting condition. Cannot be turned off until all the tea is gone..

Whites of His Eyes - Melee Clickie ST - Major Damage (Lethal), Knockback
"The enemy somehow got close to you, and you're left with no other option than to shoot at him"

Fend off the savages - Cone Clickie - Fear, knockback
"You fire your guns into the air and look really scary. The superstitious savages must think you're some sort of a god as they're trembling in fear and backing away"

Second - Pet Summon - Summons a Melee Pet
"These people don't seem to be obeying good rules of dueling. Glad you brought your manservant to act as your second"
Summons a SS/WP Brute to fight along your side.

20 paces - Clickie - Self Teleport, Extreme Damage to Target that's further than 20 yards away

Whoops, looks like that forum reader perception nerf has gone live.

Well, was going to mean "in this thread" considering I posted on the other stalker nerf thread as the 25th or so reply.

Have we talked about possibly nerfing stalkers yet?

Don't think I've seen either a charecter in Samuri Armour or a Boxer in my time in CoH, but perhaps less useful would have been a better turn of phrase

[/ QUOTE ]

Quite many of my characters have Samurai Armour bits in their clothes: the shoulderpads, for example, are wicked. And the boxer pants are really neat. My brute switched to those from the old-style shorts as soon as they came available to me. I also have a few characters who use the boots and one that has the Gloves. "Anime" Armour on the other hand is pretty dull and doesn't end up on my costumes that often

Nerf Stone Tanks.
