We were:

Yeremi: Sonic/Elec Blaster
Extremus: Fire/Ice Blaster
Righteous Bob: Ill/Kin Controller
Omega MCX: Mind/Emp Controller
Decibellion: Sonic/Sonic Defender
Arch Glacier: Ice/EM Tank
Stark: Ill/Kin Controller
Centurion Alpha: Grav/Rad Controller


This TF is way awesome. It hits exactly the right balance between extremely challenging and tear-your-hair-out frustrating. I really had to be on my toes during the last mission, and I was playing a Sonic Defender which is usually a pretty relaxed role in PvE.

As you can guess by the title, I'm trying to put together a super-awesome dedicated raid team for the new Hamidon encounter. I'm hoping to make it up out of 5-6 SGs who are all prepared to attend raids relatively regularly (although not WoW style YOU MUST ATTEND EVERY WEEK AT LEAST OR WE'RE NOT LETTING YOU JOIN AGAIN - I really don't want to lead raids that often and I'm sure that most people won't want to turn up that often either).

So here are the requirements:

-You must have teamspeak installed (get it from here.) You do not have to have a microphone, you just have to be able to listen in to the orders that will be being relayed over TS. The request channel will be used to let the leaders know if stuff is up so that we can keep TS as quiet as possible.

That's about all I can think of for now. It's way easier to organize this if I talk directly to SG leaders who can then organize actually getting their guys to the raid on their own forums or whatever, since that way I have far fewer people to organize. If you're on your own, though, I won't turn you away or anything.

So, if your SG/group of friends/whatever is intersted then either send me a PM or reply in here and I'll get some more details sorted out. If the rumours ARE true and i9 goes live this week, I'm hoping to organize a raid for as early as possible (most likely saturday). Defiant has to be the first server to do this! We can't let the Onions beat us again!

hi guys, is hot feet worth getting for a fire ta troller who isnt planning on PvP, just PvE? what other powers are worth getting and not getting?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hot feet is only worth getting on a fire troller who isn't planning on PvP, just PvE.

Put 2 acc in your attacks. Even if you have focussed accuracy, you never know when you'll end up needing that one last hit when it's not up.

Due to the response we received from different players we decided to make some changes to the rules.

Travelpowers aren't any longer excluded aswell as all types of enhancements are allowed in both classes.

[/ QUOTE ]

WOOHOOO!

Like we said, Bantamweight is going to be the division to watch for interesting team setups

OH MY GOD WHERE?

I ROCK AT PVP

Also, Rock Eagle, if you think I'm bad at PvP I'd be happy to step into the arena for a duel with you at any time.

* Travelpowers from the power pools or the arena merchants aren't allowed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is this some sort of joke??

[/ QUOTE ]

They had the same rules for the Brighton comic con competition. I personally don't think travel powers should ever be allowed in arena matches. I mean how can you say your good at pvp if you cant fight with out travel powers.

[/ QUOTE ]

By beating everyone? There's a reason top level PvP fights have travelpowers on. You'd think we'd have them off if it was better that way.

Hopefully The Gathering's Omnipotent team will improve people's opinion of both corruptors and dominators, because contrary to popular belief, when used properly they are good. And no, Doms aren't inferior and do not need a buff like everyone says they do.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except that we ate you alive with a JOKE team. Dominators probably need a buff. I just don't know what you could do to them without making them horribly imbalanced.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow you beat a lvl 40 domi, lvl 40 cold and a lvl 50 kinetics with 2 emps and a blaster at lvl 50 you guys rock . . .

[/ QUOTE ]

We did it with three controllers too. If you want a fight at level 40 you're welcome to it. I can guarantee the result will be the same.

Try being a student. I think I've forgotten what chocolate cake is. I could tell you 101 things to do with mincemeat though.

Just wondering - have you ever played with a PvPer that was good at PvP and bad at PvE?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes.

Taking bets on who guesses first.

I'm totally betting the house on Xanthus.

fake edit: Failing that, it's Plight.

The Search system on these forums sucks big time. I tried finding it, but I think I'll be happier if someone knows which thread it was in and I can go hunt it down, or the original guy can give me a link on YouTube.

Check the post above you.

Rad/Psi controller is an abosuletly digustingly powerful thing to play solo.

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean Defender.

[ QUOTE ]
Ill/Emp controller is a very popular healer due to GI not suppresing on heals (This may be fixed someday, since it is meant too..)

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes it does supress, but only for about a second or two. That's why ill/emp is so good.

[ QUOTE ]
Omnipotent coming to a Arena near you soon...

[/ QUOTE ]

wait what

sup rocky, how was Auto Assault? I played with my SG for a bit but didn't really get much past level 18.

[ QUOTE ]
If you want more raids then organise some yourself instead. You can't expect anyone to continously run a thing like this because "the community" demands it.

[/ QUOTE ]

quotin' dis. Leading raids gets boring after about five or six. The moment I realised I'd done it too much was when I was giving out the raid orders with a tray of macros whilst playing another game on my laptop.

[ QUOTE ]
NO AT rules go US style?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hell [censored] yes.

[ QUOTE ]
Xanthus, can we make this weekly or every two weeks?
can any of tonights teams not make it weekly on a wednesday?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm probably going to organize another tournament over easter, maybe on a tuesday or thursday night.

12vs12 (two teams of 6 men each) sound good to you guys? Thought it might make things a bit more interesting, since it was clear tonight that we can easily pull the numbers together for it.

As I said, you guys are welcome to a rematch.

[ QUOTE ]
Sorry guys, but hey we won anyways . Now we can finally say that union has the better pvpers can we? Or does Elerith still think defiant have the better?

[/ QUOTE ]

You are welcome to try again. We will beat you again.

[ QUOTE ]
I coud bet we won some more than 3

PS. /em hate you globey for ruining our chance to stay unbeaten

Thanks to everyone for attending, I had an awesome time and I hope you guys did too. I'll certainly be organizing another one soon.

Too bad Arena Academy didn't get any wins, but I hope you learned a lot about what does and doesn't work from your team and I'd like to see you guys entering. Be an example to all newbie-ish (sorry Edene :P) teams everywhere!

Rules update: You may NOT switch alts at any point during the tournament. The character you enter the first match with is the character you MUST play throughout the entire tournament.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just to clarify for everyone - I'm assuming only one build is allowed, too? (i.e. No making 5 versions of your alt, and switching between them.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.
