  1. Cobalt has made great suggestions. I'd also highly recommend Dazz, as he has quite a good handle on musical knowledge.

    But before you go on a quest for the 'gems' of mainstream music, have you considered the age group of your audience? Perhaps if most people attending are children of the 80s, you might be good sticking with the retro favorites. Just a thought.
  2. This is tonight!

    Remember to get your jet packs.
  3. Thanks for a fun night, all! It was great to see so many people PvPing.

    Special thanks to 'M4shes' for being great team mates.
  4. Great raid all! Thanks for leading Llewthor.

  5. Alright folks, Pee Wee PvP with jet packs is a go for this Sunday! So please grab a jet pack before Sunday night.

    Format
    Matches will be set to Flyweight (level 6-11). We will try to complete a minimum of 3 10 minute matches, including some of the following:

    -FFA
    -Teams
    -Partners

    Maps
    Unlike last week, we will be using open maps with space to fly around and pew pew, so they will not be random. Examples of maps that will be chosen are Graveyard, Perez Park, Atlas, etc.

    Settings
    - No Travel Suppression
    - No Heal Decay
    - Enable Non-Arena Temp Powers
    - Small Inspirations Only

    Hope to see you there!
  6. Welcome to Champion!

    Like the others said, look into joining one of Champion's global chat channels, like BMT of Champion or Champions United. Also, I'd highly recommend checking out our Event Calendar. You'll see we've got events going on several times a week, which is another great way to meet other players.

    If you have any questions or need help, send me a tell @Amygdala.

    It might not be exactly the ladder you hoped for, but it is definitely a step in the right direction and a good compromise given the current level of interest in PvP on Champion. I imagine the best way to get PVPEC to turn it into a more formal ladder would be to support the events that are currently being hosted to show a consistent level of interest.

    Or, like 4shes suggested, try starting your own event.
  8. Fun event! Thanks again for hosting.
  9. Happy Birthday, GATTACA!
  10. Thanks to everyone who came out tonight!

    I plan on hosting another Pee Wee PvP Night, but it will have to wait until after next Sunday, since it is the 4th of July. Stay tuned for further details...
  11. This is tonight at 7:30pm EST in Pocket D!
  12. Here are some of my screen shots.

    That's Amy G. Dala, Kineticist at Law.

    Thanks for hosting this event! It was a lot of fun.

    Ugh!

    This thread is why I tend to form my own teams, and invite all the 'non healers' I can find.
  15. Amygdala

    Ocho!

    Happy Birthday!

    Same here. Most of the time, it's possible to find a moment in combat where the team is naturally grouped and fire off your RAs at that time. When I'm on a team that is steamrolling already, I find 'gathering' really kills the momentum.
  19. Like others have said, between the two powers, I'd prioritize Siphon Speed. Siphon Power can be a useful debuff, but while playing a Controller, you have other forms of damage mitigation. Adding more recharge would be of greater use.
  20. Just wanted to say, great thread. I've enjoyed following your progress.

    This.

    I pretty much posted the same thing when I first heard about it. The subject matter has the potential to be interesting. However, in order to come to any sort of conclusion, in order to make his observations meaningful, he should have set up an experiment. Otherwise, it's just a story about a professor who played CoH and got a rise out of other players. Just because he happens to be a professor does not automatically make his leisure activity research.

    His findings were that if you're a total doosh (relevant link), people respond negatively to you. Shock, horror, stop the presses.
    Studies that state such mundane and general conclusions irritate me. It tells me that whoever conducted the research likely did not frame their research question properly. It would be more interesting to know which demographic of people send you death threats, which simply ignore you, how often these reactions occur, what stimulates what type of reaction, etc. Not just "When I behave like an [censored], people get mad." This further indicates to me that his 'research' was an afterthought.

    So ya, i totally didnt answer your question. I guess the easiest thing would be for me to say "make it girl friendly" (i know, not all the sistas out there need the help, but, im willing to bet some of you may find it helpful!)
    I'm tellin' ya, the best Mids tutorial is to keep making builds. There's nothing to fear. It's not like an echoing voice comes from your computer, telling you you'll never get to perma Hasten using Tempered Readiness for recharge bonuses, or gives you the error message "Your build sucks." Make one, and if you don't like it, delete it. No one has to know.

    While I'm sure Silas could write an excellent guide, the only way to really figure out how Silas be doin' it is to use the program.

I believe Peacebringers and Warshades can get around the "No travel power" rule by using nova form. Plus with the inherent range bonus in nova form nobody would be able to hit a flying PB/WS. So you may want to not allow khelds (Or tell em they cant use nova)
    As it turns out, as long as you set 'No Travel Powers', you will not be able to fly while in Nova. You can still use the form, but you're only able to slide along the ground and jump.

    Regardless, you bring up a good point regarding ATs that could have inherent advantages over other ATs. I don't want to disqualify any ATs based on theoretical advantages they might have. Instead of making a list of things that could be unfair, just bring what you think will be fun. Likely, it'll all even out given the level range we're playing in and the map selections (i.e. smaller maps).
