1. Why do we have to get 700 mil or whatever to get a 'good' build? I feel this system is downright pants, why should I need to farm every spare time I get to get decent builds. I have nothing against farmers and I do occasinally farm. But I just feel the farmers who like to farm a lot have a edge over people who dont farm, espicially in PvP. Why?

Take influence. Replace it with currency from your game of choice. Apply it to equipment or skills. Apply to every other MMO out there. Because the game makes you do time sinks and grins to get to that level so you can have the edge against other players.

Seven shook her head. "They still sound better coming from you. I will examine the deliver variation and attempt to enhance my socialisation routines."

The Skull looked at the two of them as if they had both gone entirely off the deep end.

"Practise makes perfect, Seven." Azure Arrow smiled, wandering over. "As you're the officer here, I believe it's only fair that you get to bag these ones." He said, before turning to keep an eye out for others.

"That Edward Johnson certainly has a flair for the... I don't even know what this kind of stunt can be called, actually."

Spotting a member of the Lost trying to sneak in, he quickly drew an arrow and fired it, the blunted tip knocking the homeless vagrant to the ground.

"Store's closing, sorry!"

"We do offer a complimentary gift wrapping service though." A familiar voice said from behind Seven as an arrow whistled by. As it neared its target, the front end popped open for a net to shoot out, thick webbing wrapping around the Skull's waist with the edges weighted down by ball weights.

Arrow Azure stepped forwards and chuckled, his composite tech bow still in his hand and quivers clipped to his costume in easy to access places. "Seven. I see they'll let anyone have after store shopping privilages now days." He quipped, thumbing to the Skull. "The only bargain he's getting is a free ride across the city."

A lot of people dont want distracting chat messages while in the arena.

[/ QUOTE ]

How about a compromise then, a /noexternalchat command or something? Because you say a lot of people don't want distracting chat messages while in the arena, while I say that don't want to be cut out of chat because they want a quick spar with a friend.

As opposed to a quick spa.

a human shield?

Captain Hero: Activate Hero Shield! Captain Hero picks up a civilian and holds her in the way of incoming gunfire.

Why am I not surprised, Neko?

But yes, Dark Watcher does have a good arc. Though I do love the Conference Security mission too, I mean... I love the map!

a villainess who came on to me as I was kicking her head in

[/ QUOTE ]

That's got to be Silver Mantis. I don't know any other villainesses who are like that.

See you around, Stasis.

No, really, I have the camera drones out in force!

*hugs* Take care, don't let that DJ mix you up and for the love of everything don't do anything DW wouldn't.

One thing though... apart from the Sky Skiffs, Witches and such, there aren't really very many 'flying' enemies. There's enemies that hover off the ground, but fly?

One thing I always hated. I would have loved to have flying battles with elemental Outcasts over the Hollows, but it just doesn't happen. No knocking thugs into the Gulch with AS.

It serves no purpose, not being able to communicate in or out of arenas.

People who want to cheat by being spectators and revealing info to their friends aren't going to be put off by this, they can just use external programs such as Teamspeak, Ventrilo and such.

Like the being unable to select arena maps to 'prevent unfair advantages', it's a barrier that penalizes normal users who make up the majority more than anyone intending to be malicious.

But it's all the time you're logged off. So be offline for 16 hours on one day, and 16 on another, and that's a day and a bit done already.

Leo groaned as the numbness in his body was slowly being replaced by pain.

"Did anyone get the number of that train that hit me?" Leo chuckled which turned into a grimace when it aggravated his aching body. He saw darkness around the edge of his vision as he fought to stay conscious.

"Are you ok?" He asked when he saw Ryan's arm.

[/ QUOTE ]

"It was the 12:06 high speed service to Painsville, dude." Ryan joked, offering Leo a hand to get up if he wanted. Looking to his other arm, he shrugged and waved it, wincing a little.

"I'm fine, just a flesh wound. After he sapped you, I got fighting and got cut up a bit, but he just vanished." Ryan replied. The blood on his arm was hissing a little from the temperature, and parts of the corridor behind him were scorched black.

"They just all vanished, BODI told me. Even the Titans outside... we did it." Ryan grinned. "Well, we didn't kick their [censored], but we're alive, and that's what counts."

I'm thinking up of stuff now for CoH events, and there's always a chance of some random Steam FPS games too.

*Puts thinking hat on*

Umm... hmm...

Uh...

I might look about to see what swag from Omega Sektor 08 I can find, maybe a Most Heroic Hero and Villaious Villain contest, nothing amazing in prizes, probably just a couple of hero clix figures from the CoH set, Arachnos Mousemat...

The owner will be updating the machines to have CoH on for the 1st.

8 hours of gaming there for us would be £15 each.

Vigilance Lobby

The lobby was in chaos as the heroes began to converge on the position, Cara's entry and the addition of more of the regrouping New Vigilants as well as the tactical retreat of the Malta into it causing hell. Time ticked on as the battle raged, the ruined area glowing occasionally with the burst of Sapper gun and Titan Plasma blasts.

Vigilance Tower Corridor

Chuckling from behind his visor, the SHADOW unit darted up to cling to the side of the building, before starting his scurry to the top. Blasts of red plasma rained down behind him for any pursuers as he climbed.

12:06:40

Vigilance Tower Upper Corridor

A blast of energy bowled Ryan back, causing Leo to turn. "Ryan!" He shouted out, positioning himself in front of his stunned boss. At the far end of the corridor, one of the SHADOW units approached.

"Flee and I might not kill you."

Gritting his teeth and glowing fiercly, Leo took up a defensive stance. "You'll have to go through me first."

"... Fine." The SHADOW unit laughed, channelguns flaring into life as rapid discharges began knocking into Leo, pushing him back. The young man held his ground, and after more blasts the enemy raised his arm rifles.

"Persistant."

Two single blasts struck out, starting to leech Leo's power away. Sappper tech. As the blasts hammered in, he sunk to his knees, his vision starting to fade. Something orange whizzed past his vision before he blacked out.

12:06:39

Unity Tower Lobby

Pioneer's eyes opened, and his fist shot up to strike a falling piece of stone out of the way. "It's my duty, Ma'am." He said with resolve, his eyes glowing with a golden-white light as he hauled himself to his feet. "And I'm more resiliant than your average person..."

Over where Marie was fighting, her suits sensors would have picked up something hot coming down from straight above. Descending rapidly thanks to his suits thrusters was a rather battered and damaged Cauter, fire screaming out of his red and gold suit's engines as he prepared to drop kick the suit.

Above all the chaos and fighting, his suits speakers enabled him to call out one thing.

"METEOR STRIKE!"

12:06:35

12:07:08

Leo's eyes flickered open to see Ryan grinning, his right arm having several long gashes running across it.

"Wake up, Leo. It's over."

[u]Skyway Medical Center Mediport Control Room, 12:07:00[u]

"We've got it back up!"

"Excellent news, now... oh hell, it's happening again, they're hacking! Systems overloading... we're starting to go Code Black again!"

The attacking forces began to vanish at 12:07:02, taking their dead with them as they retreated, even as the blare of sirens began to converge on the Plaza. With a booming rush of air, the Kronos Titan flashed with light and was no longer present.

[u]End of Minute 6.[u]

Gah... I'm just kind of staring at the thread, knowing I have to write but not what or how.

WTB Anti-writers block vaccine.

That would kind of make base beacons and teleport pads obsolete though, wouldn't it?

:O

But... but...

But...

Balls.

Michael shook his head in almost mild amusement and made a simple gesture with the staff, sending a bolt of blazing energy whipping at his opponent, the bolt of ravening magic expanding rapidly in size as it travelled down the corridor until it was almost two feet across and almost too bright to look at.
Slamming the bottom of his staff on the debris strewn floor, Michael conjured a series of magical constructs that formed a physical barrier between himself and any return fire.

Behind him, the concussion wave hit the remaining special forces troops, ripping those unable to get out of the way from their feet and slamming them into the walls with sufficient force to leave deep indentations in the concrete

12:05:10

[ QUOTE ]

He vaulted over the Magical constructs and headed straight for any heavily armoured foes he could find, dark energy pulsing aroun his fists, his skin rippled as if something was moving underneath, "sinners, all of you such sinners, you shall feel the dark mighty wrath of the Lord himself, you shall be smote down with his instrument of great and furious anger, you shall weep as the Alpha to your Omega descends among you, I am no hero, I am an instrument of pain and wrath, fear me for I know not fear itself, fear me for I am held by no code but the code of the Lord himself, fear me for I am your judgement and your executioner!"

[/ QUOTE ]

The SHADOW Unit darted up to the ceiling, Channelgun arms digging into it as he vaulted the blast of magical energy, before scurrying along with blasts firing from his weapons at Warlock and Dr Johnson. Coming close to the magical constructs, he dropped down and propelled himself out of the way to outside, channelgun arms flittering with a red light as he darted across to flank them.

Libby started towards the ragged hole to the outside world that she had made as an entrance and tapped her comms unit.

"BODI! Sit rep please? Where's the nearest hole needs pluggin'?"

BODICIA's voice came into Linda's ear. "Several groups are in pursuit of Ryan and Leo, but they are currently keeping ahead of them. Assistance is needed in the Lobby of Vigilance Tower. If you get there, I'll reroute forces to assist."

Pausing a moment, she then sent messages elsewhere. "Leo, Cara, head to Vigilance Tower Lobby. Ryan, keep moving and do not stop, intelligence recieved from Jane indicates they are looking to assassinate you."

"Please do your best Linda... as loathe as I am to admit it? I am scared. I do not like being scared."

12:06:03

[u]Unity Tower Lobby[u]

As Gemini exerted her telekinetic powers on the falling debris to direct it at the SHADOW unit, Number Nine had sent her singularity spiriling into the air, the chunks of falling building being drawn into its swirlinng grip.

Spotting the incoming rubble, SHADOW 3 swiped at the pieces with his energy blades, shattering them out of his way. Several channelgun arms pointed at Gemini and fired.

The Pioneer, clad in orange and black, darted in front of her, arms drew up to guard his upper body as he glowed with an unnatural light. Each blast slammed into him and ground him back towards her, before a frenzied volley sent him flying, smoke whisping from his costume.

Over by the three Sisters of Artemis and SHADOW 5, the latter was resting against the far wall, smoke pouring from her suit as the energy supply flickered. Slowly though, the arms on its back began to drag her up, the front armour plate falling off to reveal a torso deformed by the blast and cybernetic enhancements. Its ascent slowed as the arms lost power, and with a sigh it fell and collapsed to the floor.

Unity Tower's lobby was clearing of enemies now, the Malta forces having been driven or defeated back and blockaded out.

What remained was the one armed SHADOW fighting Arachidamia, and the unit firing at the others, even as rubble still slowly fell from the ceiling.

The one on Arachidamia moved quickly, energy trails blurring from its limbs as its right armblade clashed with Mary's magic empowered sword. SHADOW 7 seemed unaffected by his lost arm, and was making up for it with his other limbs as energy bladed kicks and hip mounted energy whips lashed out occasionally.

His armblade split down the middle, catching Mary's sword for a moment before he darted around and back in a fluid motion, gashing across her side and delivering a kick to her back.

Outside, the forces had encountered the dread Josie Ironside's forces, and as the battle raged and they were pushed back, they began to regroup into Vigilance Tower lobby.

[u]End of Minute Five/Begining of Minute Six[u]

I resent it just in case, my mail was being a little flakey earlier.

Or 'Instance Areas', where you can create an instance for a group of your friends to go to hang about. Great for RPing and player events.

Atlas Park Fashion Zone map, anyone?

We have our base portals in CoH/CoV zones that take us to our base, and a portal that takes us out of our base...

So how about a base portal item that can take us to other bases in our coalitions?

I'd love to be able to enter the Unity Vigil base by a portal, then switch to the New Vigilants base without having to exit and re-enter, and it could be used for multi-level SG's which have more than one wing, (especially if you let coalition'd SG's use crafting tables and such).

It is getting a little hectic!

As I see it, Warlock and Liberty Girl are in Vigilance Tower, outside the blast doors to access BODI's core. Ryan and Leo are making their way down to the core through the access tunnels. Arachidamia is fighting SHADOW 7 over in Unity Tower to prevent him from getting access to BODI's core there.

There's one for each tower.
