ok Defiant has a pretty kick [censored] 16 man team. We'll definitely be there.

So who makes the cut coach

[/ QUOTE ]

We still need to fill a few places since we're not 100% sure whether a few people will attend or not. I'll know by tomorrow so I can post up a list or something if people want to know.

Even if you aren't on the main team, though, you can still help out a bunch by turning up to the practice sessions I'm going to try and organize. If we get enough people it'd be AWESOME to do a big 16 vs 16 (although that's probably pushing it) since that will help the final team practice together in time for the tournament. Failing that we'll just do a whole bunch of 8 vs 8's.

Can defiant field 16 pvpers? o.O

[/ QUOTE ]

Easily :P


[/ QUOTE ]

Should rephrase that to "Can defiant field 16 good pvpers?".

I don't know about Union vs Defiant to be honest. We'll probably have to have a load of players in the Union team on their Defiant characters to make 16 players vs Vigilance.

[ QUOTE ]
Im so up for this.

Is it possible to play for both Union and Defiant?

I have my blaster, emp, or rad for Union and my Ice/Kin or Ice/Thermal for defiant

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you have TS?

Also are we fighting against Union as well or just Vigilance?

I'll try and put together a Defiant team but I can't make any promises.

[ QUOTE ]
You guys remember that naming and shaming is forbidden on these forums?

[/ QUOTE ]

its ok for some reason i am banproof on these forums

Then I tried with Raz, who is a good pvper

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol how much inf has he promised to you for saying that?

[/ QUOTE ]

ROFL i completely missed that, good find

[/ QUOTE ]

Different raz. This is Razgul, who is actually pretty good at PvP. You're thinking of Raziel DX who sucks.

[ QUOTE ]
Still 1 empath can't save a stupid blaster not kitting and running etc if the other team has loads of damage dealers. I didn't lose a single life in 3vp nor did elistan and if i remember correctly we were the only empaths who entered that.

[/ QUOTE ]

elistan didn't actually take part in a single match, it was his subs that stopped him from losing any lives.

Rest assured if I do it again there will be more severe penaltys for no-shows.

i beat dark blasphemy with a stick

BOOYAH

3vp worked so well because i vetted the teams.

Yes, I drew them randomly, but once the draw was done I went over them and swapped players around so that (in my opinion) no one team was too strong or too weak.

If you want to compete with the top-level PvP teams, you need an empath. You will lose without one.

[ QUOTE ]
What we need to do is come up with an Idea as a collective PvP community, as i know personal havent got any bright ideas at the moment.

[/ QUOTE ]

teams out of the hat, one night only pvp competition in the style of Squished?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
what we need is another random pick-up tournament.

[/ QUOTE ]
Can you finish 3vP first? Please?

[/ QUOTE ]

no you

what we need is another random pick-up tournament.

Pentad is good.

But seriously unless there's hardcore prizes I don't see it taking off. S4 worked because everything was new, there wasn't a team right at the top of the skill/experience ladder, there wasn't a set best team that'll work 9/10 times. It was just a bunch of people dicking about having a laugh trying to win free stuff.

Now though, I don't know. As much as I'd love a new pentad ladder backed by NC, I can't see it coming soon.

[/ QUOTE ]


Whilst i think this is right i still be interested in seeing if the PD's will "Bring It"

[/ QUOTE ]

well xanthus wanted to fight us saturday night but as there were 3 of us and a lot of them the 3 lions declined

[/ QUOTE ]
Hey look, right, Xanthus would be dropping kills all over the place like usual so I don't really see the problem.

[/ QUOTE ]

hey look shut up i know kung fu

i coulda taken them all by myself

[ QUOTE ]
Has anyone actually done a successful Hamidon Raid since it was revamped in I9? I heard Defiant managed it but it turned out reather "deathly".

[/ QUOTE ]

Defiant did it in two hours.

Union did it in seven or eight hours.

I stopped leading raids because basically I couldn't be bothered any more. It was too much effort to get everyone in place for the EoE farming, and the raid was far too repetitive once we got it going.

[ QUOTE ]
I have TP, Usuall BU + tp, the Assassin strike hits before the TP hover drops you... so u dont need a raptor pack for a strike, Recently dropped Stealth + Placate for Assault + tactics, ~ brave I know but the 10% extra dmg is amazing on an AS and the + perc on a regen is gr8, also gives me +3 tohit SO's more than I had. ~ Placate was bugged and the animation time meant I was dead before I was able to hit again. But I am missing stealth...

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah don't do this. Pick up stealth and placate again, and swap TP for SS/SJ (or CJ with a couple of jumps in it). When you go in to kill someone it should look like this:

1) Fire up hide, stealth, and your travelpowers.
2) Pick squishy, fire build up, prime bonesmasher (so it's surrounded by a red circle), use follow (F by default) to line yourself up, and as you reach the squishy, push forwards and jump. This way, the animation for Bone Smasher should play whilst you're in the air and still moving. As soon as you land on the floor again, hit follow and do the same with Energy Transfer. If they aren't dead, follow that up with Energy Punch.
3) Still not dead? Placate and run away. Wait for your powers to recharge, pop a couple of reds and go again.

Get stealth capped by buying a +stealth IO for your travel power that's lower than level 30. Stack that with Hide and Stealth from the Concealment pool and you should be fine.

Use orange insps to stop from being TP'd, or get a kinetic friend to stick ID on you.

[ QUOTE ]
They could always do the forbidden, and use yellow insps!

[/ QUOTE ]

sorry how often do you pvp again?

with IOs its easy to hit the stealth cap as a stalker. At the stealth cap, you can only be seen by moving within 10 feet of someone who is at the perception cap. Apart from that, you are totally invisible to anyone.

Zone Duel = Xanthus tells people he'll fight them 1vs1, but brings his whole team anyway. Whole team then laughs over teamspeak at anger of person who demanded duel in the first place.

lol

Who cares if new players wont have pvp.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good god, Psydock, you're one of the dumbest people I've ever met on an MMO - and I play World Of Warcraft.

[ QUOTE ]
If im gonna vote, it goes to Union, since we obviously have the most pvp'ers ---> less moving.

All this is IMO.

[/ QUOTE ]

You have the most vocal PvPers.

Might pop along with MY DEFENDER if I get him sorted out early enough
