we've never used IoPs purely cos we dont have a clue how to get them

as valens said we were undefeated against a lot of people from the french server so i believe we wud defo give them a good fight

In honesty, I'm struggling to get my head around a rad/psi beating everything 1v1, and would very much need to see it in action...

[/ QUOTE ]

Check the US boards, its one of the new fotms and everyone is starting theirs after seeing the effectiveness of a few people, I have one myself

Also its worth noting that some psi attacks bypass defence as are untyped (which is certainly a little unfair on SRs as its specifically says your defences work v psi, but hey, who beleives the power desciptions these days)

[/ QUOTE ]

just because the americans like it it doesnt actually make it good

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope but the players behind them do, and rad is always good and untyped (not classed as melee, aoe or ranged) and unresisted damage seems like a good idea to me .

And no offence but the US pvpers dick all over the EU lot, they take hardcore to another level and what becomes good over here was being played 6 months ago there. If they say its good I beleive them. Of course you could always get US codes and show your mettle over there, with what you consider to be strong builds, as opposed to being just about the only pvp sg with active players on union

[/ QUOTE ]

unfortunately i cant afford to get my characters pl'd for me and dont have the time anymore to lvl characters, yea we are one of the few pvp sg's and we've always managed to dick over ur attempts to beat us so wud be funny to see what the all powerful americans do to u, but wait we use imaginary iops to beat u, no other way we cud beat ur bought hami-o'd up toons is there?

yeah keep superiour invis on and the rad has to keep his tactics on which will drain the defenders end and he won't be able to kill you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really, AM helps end recovery and a good rad/psi can 3 shot most.

[/ QUOTE ]

the trouble with psi is it has no aim and i dont see how a psi cud hit thru rad enough with just tactics to cause any serious amount of dmg

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Mind being a bit more specific?

[/ QUOTE ]

Invis goes on, toggles go off. Easy.

[/ QUOTE ]

indeed, invis is what makes my empath very hard to kill

first vid i eva made so go easy on me sorry for the many teams who dont feature (mine included) but cudnt film them all

Post your toons name and global name and AT you would like to put in for the tourny below.

You see anyone you wanna team send them a PM and ask them if there still free

anyone still stuck contact me

The WalnuT sign up thread

Please leave your team name and the names of players with global names

E.G
Nimmers
Quicksand @Knight Stalker
Gatling @Gatling
X-plosive @X-treme

From the producers and creaters of Squished...

Retribution brings you The WalnuT!

The WalnuT will be a league/tournament carried out in one evening. Each team will consist of 3 Players.
Each team will have 3 different ATs no 2 the same and must have 2 squishies and 1 non squishy.


Thats any 2 of the following (only 1 of each AT allowed):

• Blasters
• Defenders
• Controllers
• Corrupters
• Dominators
• Masterminds

And 1 of either:
• Tank
• Scrapper
• Stalker
• Brute

The Event will be open to every server and will be held on the Test Server and fights will be at level 50

To minimise the luck part of a knockout tournament i aim to have a few mini leagues with winners going through to knockout rounds (like a mini champions league). How this will be achieved will depend on number of teams entering so I will post more details as soon as I have an idea of teams entering.

The Fights in the league section will be in a 5 Man Domination match, who ever kills the fastest and most wins.

The semis and final will be 10man domination matches.

Hopefully the whole night will consist of a maximum of 7rounds (same as squished).

The WalnuT will be held on test server @7pm on Sunday 15th October

This is a discussion thread, sign up threads will follow

All that remains to say is who will be crowned The WalnuT and who will be Walnut whipped

If it was a 1vs1 arranged Duel, the way i see it should be all powers, no inspirations.

If you were just fighting someone, suck it up and take it like a man.

Ofcourse, when someone has around 20 Respites and 20 Catch a Breaths it does get frustrating v.v

[/ QUOTE ]

No. Any PvP fight should use inspirations. They balance it out. What's a blaster supposed to do against a controller otherwise?

[/ QUOTE ]

And then the troller pops around 10 Robusts, a medium break free, 10 reds and 10 yellows with a purple in there for good measure.

We have a Uber troller tank running Unstoppable, completely mez resistant and hitting the damage/accuracy cap.


Ofcourse your right, inspirations balance everything out, how silly i was for trying to be the voice of reason.

You can't buy inspirations in two of the 4 pvp zones for a reason.

[/ QUOTE ]

thats hilarious, u've gotta be joking right?

[ QUOTE ]
To everyone who said there are no rules. I assume you also approve of using mobs to help kill people?

[/ QUOTE ]

if ur actually in a fight with them and can manipulate the mob in ur favour then sure, i think ppl have a problem with someone they cant see and arent fighting tp'in them in2 a mob

well we're trying to make 2 teams but its impossible as ppl dont wanna sign up to let the team down if they find out the fights will be on a day or time that they are unavailable, cud put down 2 teams, but the thread asks for exact team names

[ QUOTE ]
OK, seeing as how so many people said this was a good idea and would want to take part, so many in fact that it was changed from Union only to both servers meaning a hell of a lot more work involved, how comes we only have one team actually signed up so far?

On a forum where there is an active thread calling for more PvP'ers, you do wonder why people bother when those who say "Yeah, great. Let's do it" then either don't sign up or sign up and don't actually turn up on the night.

Given that the Union sign up thread has had 100 views already, surely there should be more than one team signed up by now?

[/ QUOTE ]

maybe because people have lives and its kinda hard to get a full team to commit to playing a tournament when they have no idea when it will be played

You only need ACCs in Taunt if you're going to be doing PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good point - I'm not a fan of PvP and forgot it auto-hits PvE.

ignore my build then but fiery embrace is still very useful in pve

a fire tank without fiery embrace is a huge waste especially with energy secondary, here is my PvP build which won the recent FFA, have pvp'd a lot for him so i think its pretty much perfect for PvP:

The Key is to create a Mini League. Some thing that can be fought over a week or so and then after that takes off build into a bigger and longer league its just keeping poeples attention which seems to prove the greatest problem.


[/ QUOTE ]

indeed, as jose Mourinho said it takes skill to win a league but u need luck to win a tournament (or something along those lines ), not taking anything away from winners or any players, they were all gr8 just a league gives a much better picture imo

i will be putting together a video of various fights but if any1 wants an unedited fight let me no, i only have:

aow first match, retribtution first match, retribution second match, all 3 round robins, the final and another match i think, cant remember which it was till i get home, will post exact matches i have tonight, edited highlights video shud b done by wednesday evening

was indeed an awesome event, nice work ks, wud b better as a league to avoid the luck aspect of a knockout tournament altho i doubt u cud keep every1 interested for long enough to do a league, bring on the next tourny

[ QUOTE ]
I'll be there if you make it 50, I'm not respeccing downwards 'cos people can't be bothered to level. Likewise, if I enter a villain I will be 38+ and fighting at 50 and none too fussed.

Sounds great otherwise

Plight

[/ QUOTE ]

i dont think thats why its at 40, i believe its at 40 because it makes matches a lot more fast paced and more fun as there are a lot more kills

[ QUOTE ]
the trouble is no1 no's whether they've been taunted from an attack or taunt so unless u specifically do a test no1 really has much of an idea how good/bad gauntlet is

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm pretty sure they do, says Taunted in the corner like any other status effect (like Hold, Stun etc etc)

[/ QUOTE ]

as it does exactly the same if ur taunted by taunt/challenge...hence u dont no whether the taunt is an affect of taunt or gauntlet

the trouble is no1 no's whether they've been taunted from an attack or taunt so unless u specifically do a test no1 really has much of an idea how good/bad gauntlet is

ne1 want a practise match b4 sunday?

i'd reply but the post may get locked so better not

[ QUOTE ]
Also, when are we going to find out who's fighting who?

[/ QUOTE ]

when we jump u from behind

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Therefore, I'm allowing mixed pentads. This mean you can setup a team of 5 characters that are either hero or villain, but of course no two of the same AT.

[/ QUOTE ]

Taken from the OP.

[/ QUOTE ]

d'oh didnt see that, cheers

is it max of 1 AT? or can we have 3 defenders and 2 tanks?
