Sorry but what?

This will disappear in a week, 2 at most.

Ive been playing this for long enough to consider myself a veteran and after reading the transcript all i can say is im glad were getting issue 15 so quickly.

Goodbye posts are easy to avoid.

Well id consider Ice/SS to be generally the strongest pvp combination at the moment.

What i love is how quickly statements change, it used to be, quite recently actually, spirit sharks were over powered, now its 'ALL skewed st ranged attacks that do to much damage'. Well when they lower that st ranged attack damage i14, they are lowering elusivity aswell, so things will even out nicely im hoping(track records say otherwise).

Forts are not the monsters you make them out to be. Though ive never had one person quote me saying the same thing, twice, in the same post.

There are things that can pound a regen, certain combinations of dominators spring to mind.

However regarding forts, between 2 non io'd toons a fort and regen scrapper that have stumbled into a zone, i think the fort would win, when you get into heavy io'ing, i feel the table tilts towards the regen.

Equal player skill assumed

Well, there are a few very good, and interesting forts around at the moment.asset for example.

Id still say a 1v1 with most forts id be confident going into, where as, ironically i find widows much harder. Thats primarily due to surviving the onslaught brought during elude.

I have piled up quite a bit of accuracy on my primary pvp toon, and yes i know thats effect on elusivity might be to an extent trivial, but coupled with FA id say i hit 1 in 3 attacks on widows/forts, which i find is a sufficient number when fighting a defence based toon, and using quick cycling attacks.

I dont think scrappers are the strongest PvP AT at the moment, but i do think there are 3-4 combinations that perform well. Which when you look over the competetive combinations other AT's have is rougly about the same, so i dont think scrappers are rubbish.

Anyway, late night rambling over.

I can beat Ice Tanks and Fortunatas.

Some Brutes can be very hard, must admit.

Stalkers with Spirit Sharks? meh cant say i wouldve put that on the list, as a scrapper err they dont really bother me, 2v1's vs stalkers can be quite fun in zones atleast.

Well, this is roughly what im running with at the moment, could use a few tweaks here and there but she performs well enough at the moment in rv for to not feel a need to fix anything yet

Personally disagree with charnell, I find spines/regen performs quite well in zones.

I disagree Charnell, the last 2 nights have seem alot of diversity in builds and sets being used in my oppinion.

Sharks are a little to common at the moment, but generally im starting to feel alot of the i13 changes were more productive than i first gave them credit for.

Well phase shift i find is great for zonal.

For arena based pvp i find it simply delays the inevitable.

Some will disagree with me here but regarding pvp and pool choices the foundation i use for all my regen pvp focused toons (spines/regen, db/regen, bs/regen) goes as following.

Speed
Hasten
Super Speed

Leaping
Combat Jumping

Fitness
Hurdle
Health
Stamina

Concealment
Stealth
Invisibility
Phase Shift.

Regarding Ancillary Power Pools my spines scrapper doesnt require web grenade due to impale (though impale is not as powerful as webgrenade considering the hover changes).
This means my spines scrapper is able to take Body Mastery for Focused Accuracy, Laser Beam Eyes and Energy Torrent.

For a non ranged regen pvp scrapper i would recommend weapon mastery, taking web grenade and targeting drone.


Hope this information helps and with a bit of luck some more people can give some insight that might give you a better picture of what you want to use.

P H O E N I X and his apparent aoe pvp taunt was easily the highlight of my afternoon, most fun ive had on my spines toon since i bothered to try pvp with her again.

Recently got a few friends playing city of villains, weve made a team that composes of 2 brutes, a mastermind, a stalker a corruptor and a dominator.

Im one of the brutes, went with WM/SD, the other brute player went SS/WP (not aware of its fotm status).

I am very glad he went SS/WP as it seems to be a very easy set to begin playing the game with and has made my tutoring considerably easier.
Im keeping up with him using my shield brute but i tend to have to work alot harder to do so and that tends to mean i face plant a little more often.

I think the risk/work required versus the rewards reaped for willpower might be a little off in comparison to what would be considered balanced but thats a statement that requires some factual evidence to hold presidence, which i dont have at the moment. This is merely a feeling ive gained from observing the set when used on a brute.

Oh..the statement that some combinations should be stronger than others that ive seen pop up a few times in this thread made me laugh.
Go play alongside someone with the same combination of powers regardless of AT, just make sure they are atleast fully SO'd and your not using any enhancements, and please come back here and say how fun it was

Its getting interesting and i must admit im really enjoying the pace and action you incorporate.

I always enjoy seeing how writers interprate villain groups and i feel you have done the trolls justice in your latest chapter.

A line that did make me smile would have to be;

"Talk English you &amp;^$£ing Hulk reject!"

However i would recommend trying to avoid utilising curse words that cause board censorship as in my opinion it can sometimes break the immersion a reader may be experiencing.
For example in a piece i wrote 2 or so months ago i had to reword a certain sentence as one of my lead characters was unable to [censored] a gun due to censorship hehe, if you know what i mean.

Id also like to suggest perhaps spacing dialog out a bit more as sometimes it can get a little confusing regarding who is saying what and what methods they are utilising.

Regardless im enjoying where your taking this and am eager to see how the recent nuclear development unfolds

Please keep writing you are telling a very enjoyable story.

Thanks for taking the time to offer some support, im working on Chapter 3 at the moment which im hoping will be up without a 2month delay this time hehe.

Woo, must admit i enjoyed reading this.

At times i feel perhaps it could be a bit more spaced out , perhaps double spaced but thats more of a personal preference of mine when reading something thats dialect heavy.

Also i think perhaps some of the descriptive terms might need a little work, for example -

"Metal screamed as she twisted it out of its' normal way."

Metal doesnt tend to scream, but more so screaches.

I like how you convey the action within the story and must admit the teabags line made me smile hehe, the characters seem to be developing nicely and i hope to be able to read more soon.

Keep writing

I cant say i have read much in the way of warhammer 40k literature, but I have always been intrigued and impressed with the blend of fantasy and sci-fi within its universe, but that aside hehe, im sorry for well causing you to get moaned at I do tend to try and be a little overly descriptive at times which perhaps occasionally is self destructive from a fan-fiction perspective.

Well I hope if you get round to reading this in its entirety you enjoy, and thanks for taking the time to offer some feedback.

Umm, well, im pushing towards 400 views, and ive had 1 piece of feedback, that was highly constructive and appreciated.

However i have been left wondering what exactly im doing wrong, is the vocabulary to diverse, are the chapters to long? is it difficult to read? is the text to bulky? is it complete [censored]?

I really dont know where im going wrong at the moment, and it is a little discouraging to be honest, any advice would be really really appreciated at this point in time. Im half way through chapter 3 at the moment and feel myself lacking in motivation to continue.

Id recommend starting with fanfiction.net.

Amongst its vast archive of varying subjects it has a COH section with some very good content aswell.

The site is also a great place to meet potential beta readers who can offer great feedback prior to posting a piece of work.

I quite enjoyed reading this, and as has been mentioned above by other comments am looking forward reading a continuation, you utilise an easy to read approach while maintaining a pleasant use of vocabulary, that is often under-appreciated

In regards to replies, they come now and then, working on something myself at the moment, have around 300 views and 1 comment which yes at times can be dis-heartening, but well, thats unfortuantely how things are.

I would suggest not limiting where you post solely to these boards. Its worth considering some of the other more generic mmo fanfiction orientated websites that exist to expand your scope of feedback.

Well this took a while to piece together and i apologise for the wait, any constructive critcism is always welcome and i hope anyone who reads this enjoys it

[u]Dark Transcendence[u]

[u]Chapter 2 - Shattered Insight[u]

Everything compressed into nothingness, hopelessness without despair, loveless without hate, no light, no dark, no clock ticks, no heart aches, all is lost, all never was.

Indigo gasped suddenly as she awoke, a cold sweat laminated her tanned skin, her eyes wide as if suddenly enlightened to the reality of an advancing yet incomprehencable threat . She laboured for breath as she attempted to rationalise the vision she had just experienced. 'A dream?' she queried to herself. The absolute blackness of what she had percieved would have felt to most normal beings like a heavy slumber, but Indigo was not a 'normal being'. Since childhood her powers of foresight had been un-canny, always a step ahead of what would happen in the world; time did not pass for Indigo, it occured. She was a Seer, one of the few in the world, and it was this ability which had allowed her to progress so far into the Organisation.

Sleep had always yielded her more accurate insights into the paths time would take. Since her youth, each night would deliver a conveluted montage filled with images of things to come. Rarely an event she had foreseen would not come to pass, her foresight allowing her the ability to manipulate the strands of fate, not only her own but that of others. Experience had taught her some things should not be tampered with. Recently however her dreams provided her with nothing; they were filled with nothingness and this worried her more than any visions of either natural or predatory nature .

Rolling slowly to her side, forcably dismissing her rising sense of anxiety, she glanced at the luminous red lights of her digital alarm clock. They read 05:44,

"Another early start," she groaned, before forcing herself out of bed.

* * *

The bright morning sun filtered through the layered white blinds, illumintating the floating dust moates caught in the rays and bathing the office of Rondel Simes in a filmy white glow. The large private office space of the Director of the Organisation was expensively decorated, with ornate filigreed light fittings which hung gracefuly from the wall, below which various certificates and photographs offered any observer the image of a normal youth. The center of the room was dominated by a large, highly varnished dark oak desk inlayed with marquetry, the craftsmanship of which betrayed the obvious expense of the piece. The desktop was meticulously arranged, each thick file and loose paper in its designated spot overlooked by the obligatory desktidy.

Rondel Simes had sat at the top of the Organisation for 9 months, a brief time in comparison to his predecessor who passed away suddenly after 20years of service and management. The new youthful director had provided a fresh outlook for the Organisation since recieving his position, re-structuring sections and pushing forward various aspects of research, most of which remained undisclosed to the majority of his operatives. Confidentiality and secrecy had become some of his key ideals and even Crimson, who worked directly beneath Rondel was kept in the dark regarding many of the Organisation's current developments.

Agents Crimson and Indigo sat at the opposite side of the desk to Director Simes, who glared with pierceing blue eyes intently at the pair as would a stern father prior to scolding his children.

"400 agents, 37 surveilance satellites, the most complex and encompasing communications network in the world, and you can't find him?" queried the director in a tone of uttmose disgust.

"We are getting closer!" replied Crimson. "We almost had him in Hong Kong but had issues with one of our own operatives; we believe he may have attempted to move through Asia and then headed towards the Middle-East"

"It was a foolish mistake on your behalf to send someone with personal issues on such a misson Crimson, I expected better of you."

Again a tone of disappointment and disgust ran through Rondel's words. Few were the men in the world who would dare belittle Agent Crimson.

"Your lapses are most unfortuante, however not all of us litter our actions with pathetic mistakes, I have had the girl's body recovered. Her abilities should provide insight and solutions to some of our development projects, but the more pressing matter is Wolf. I want him found by the end of the week, or I'll find other people who know how to do their jobs, do you understand Crimson?"

"Yes Sir!" responded the agent, his voice trembling with timerity.

Indigo's eyes glanced between her partner and the Director. She had remained silent throughout the discussion, the normally charming Director's carismatic approach when normally addressing the pair was replaced by an intense display of irritation that left her lacking words. After much consideration she concluded it best to inform him of the portents she had experienced so often in her dreams of late.

"Sir one thing..." she said, hesitantly.

Director Simes eyes shifted from Crimson to make eye contact with the much smaller agent,

"What is it?" he demanded.

At that moment a bright red light began to flash at the back of the large desk. Glancing down the Directors composure seemed to shift slightly his face becoming a mix of surprise and urgency, as his mind processed a multitude of factors almost instantly before he raised his eyes to once more address the pair;

"Theres an issue in G5, I need to go!"

* * *

Mathew Roderick, known to most as Agent Wolf, surveyed the long corridor leading down to the state-of-the-art underground laboratories used by the various researchers and scientists of the Organisation. It felt surreal to find himself once more in the Apex building, the headquaters of his former employers. However on this occasion he would view the complex hive of labs, offices and training facilities from the perspective of an attacker rather than a defender. Like most operatives he had been recruited by the Organisation for his rare talents, his being described as multi-purpose vision. His usually unremarkable grey eyes were capable of a multitude of fields of vision, able to zoom to levels that could rival micro scopes, capable of night, infra-red and even x-ray vision, without the requirement for any equipment had made him ideal for missions revolving reconaisance and infiltration. The natural affinity and skill he had developed with fire arms had increased his mission scope to involve assasination and he had rapidly risen to become the finest black-ops operative the Organisation had at their disposal. They had trained him and honed his talents, but they had not contemplated or queried the strong sense of justice and morality the young man had always maintained. Today however his mission was not to kill, not to destroy, he was on a mission of rescue.

Locating where his friend was being held had been an easy enough task, and he had quickly maneuvered his way through the building utilising some of the equipment he had 'borrowed' from the Organisation. Borrowed was the term he prefered to use, the majority of the equipment he had taken was simply a means to an end, it did not feed a form of greed, he would return it to the appropriate people when he was finished with it.

Adjusting his apparently innocent watch slightly caused a sudden shimmer of energy to engulf his muscular frame, his scruffy dark hair shifting slightly as if caught in a slight breeze before he slowly began to fade from generic sight. He had to admit, the stealth technology the Organisation had developed over the last few months had been quite incredible, creating fields capable of bending and shaping light around the user to render them completely invisible. The field would only last several minutes but it was long enough to avoid detection from a prying security camera or guard patrol.

Drawing his gun he proceeded quickly down the long, narrow, poorly lit corridor, towards the steel security door at the end, that held his target. Beneath the field of stealth his eye color shifted, changing from its standard grey to a seering red, glairing no longer at, but through the door seeking any source of living heat coming from within. He sensed a figure moving slowly through the room positioning equipment around a female form which lay atop a cold inorganic surface. Relieved he appeared to be in time, he accelerated towards the door, simultaneously aiming his 0.45 calibur revolver at the lock , he squeezed the trigger.

* * *

The gentle hum of computers and machinery filled the barely lit laboratory. A focused bright spotlight highlighted the center of the room, where former Agent Seretta lay still on a steel grey table. The laboratory of Doctor Gerald Hanjo was completely off limits to all personal excluding the Director Rondel Simes. The doctor posessed the uniqe ability to identify if a person had any special gift which seperated them from the norm, and moreover, how that gift worked. This had granted him an immense understanding into the biological mechanisms which granted certain individuals 'super powers'. His dreams of being a field operative had quickly been proven irrational, lacking any skill in combat or infiltration. However, his brilliant mind had made him an invaluable source of information and knowledge to the Organisation, despite his bizzare and disturbing nature.

Only when Rondel became Director did he truly reach the level of appreciation he felt he deserved. The Director had granted him permission to un-ravel the secrets of the 'super human' regardless of cost. Ethical issues had been set aside. Operatives and targets with uniqe abilities, who perished on missions were quickly recovered and delivered to the Doctor, who would begin the process he refered to as the 'information harvest'. Disecting body after body to expand his theories, uploading his computer banks with with wave after wave of recovered data, and filling his freezer with human organs which possessed incredible properties, from eyes, lungs and hands that held the genetic coding to produce fire or ice from nothing, to brains that could generate immense forms of telekentic energy and even hearts made of flesh harder than steel. All had become posessions of the incrediably intelligent, yet quite mad Doctor Hanjo. The good doctor underlined the saying that between genius and insanity runs a very fine line.

He was aware his current specimen posessed a very rare talent he was eager to analyse. It was rare for the doctor to have a still living being to disect. He had repeatedly browsed the Organisations information banks on Agent Seretta and her abilities of regeneration, but with her recent fall from grace he had finally been granted the opportunity to fully explore her rapid regenerative capability. She had been delivered to him in a post mortem state, but after removing a steel shell that had been lodged in the back of her head he was surprised and delighted to observe her pulse was very much present. Colour had begun to seep into her face as her body healed from what had appeared to be a mortal wound. The doctor had quickly moved the agent to one of his cryogenic prisons unwilling to relinquish the opportunity to finally understand this girl's rare power.

A slight moan escaped the lips of his patient, which was his signal to plunge a syringe of sedative into her narrow bicep. He had often wondered to what level she was capable of regeneration. Cuts and minor wounds would heal rapidly, but he had pondered to what degree she was able to regrow tissue. This was his chance to answer one of the many questions he had dwelt on in recent years.

Glaring down at the barely concious form before him Doctor Hanjo could not help but feel a small degree of sexual anxiety. As a reclusive intellectual he had forfeited the more common aspects of a young man's life such as flirting and courting. His immense understanding of biology and physiology dwarfed his understanding of the human emotion and social interaction. His pale cadaverous face, thick rimmed glasses and unkempt black hair atop a thin wirey frame had not made him the most appealing of male specimens in the world of dating. Yet here before him was a living breathing well formed female, unaware and defenceless. Her body was barely concealed by the short white hospital gown, her silver hair spread beneath her framing her elegant shoulders, her eyes barely closed, her chest rhythmicaly rising and descending with each steady breath. Leaning towards her still pale lips and slightly arched neck he took a moment to deeply inhale, savouring her essence as he gently ran one of his wirey thin hands up along her exposed thigh, breathing heavily as he reached behind him to grasp the hilt of a narrow sharpened scalpel;

He whispered, "I won't be alone today," as a lover might offer a prayer of thanks to the ancient god of love.

Drawing a deep breath he stepped back to contemplate where to begin.

A sudden hiss filled the room as the large steel door to his laboratory swung open, sparks bursting from the door lock as the dim lights from the corridor illuminated the entrance to his human abertoire. A flash of energy seemed to fill the doorway as a figure appeared. The doctor quickly stumbled backwards, grasping instinctively for a large red button he knew to be on the wall behind him.

"You..." hissed Doctor Hanjo.

Turning, the doctor saw and lunged for the alarm button. Reacting instantly Mathew fired a shot. His bullet entered the back of the doctors neck cleanly but exited explosively,spewing forth a spurt of blood and flesh which enveloped the button as the doctor lurched forward, his hand mashing against the alarm as he collapsed, gasping frantically as his skeletal fingers clutched and clawed at the gaping wound in his neck.

Without exhibiting any remorse Mathew quickly approached the table, glaring down at Elesie who remained still, oblivious to the events that had just occured.

"I am so sorry Ele" he whispered as he reached beneath her, easily lifting her from the table to place her over his right shoulder. "Let's get out of here."

His eyes shifted once more from glowing red orbs to almost opaque spheres as he rapidly surveyed the room, the walls fading from his view as he scanned the various access points and vents that lead from the room, anaylsing each path he quickly calculated his best route. His eyes came to rest on a waste disposal shoot which led directly into the Steel Canyon sewer system. Swiftly moving over to the large escape hatch, Mathew took a moment to glance behind him. The sound of approaching foot steps and voices seemed to near with each passing moment, with one deep breath he tightened his grip on Elesie, and jumped into the tunnel.

* * *

Rondel Simes casually entered the laboratory, his eyes scanning over its scattered contents. The empty steel slab in the center remained highlighted, tracks of blood not yet conjealed traced down the far wall. He approached the table while three of the Organisations guard's entered a moment later and dispersed through the room, ensuring the area was secure. He made his way towards the prone form of Doctor Hanjo who laboured desperately attempting to draw oxygen into his blood laden lungs.

"Wolf" the enraged Director growled between clenched teeth as he turned from the writhing form at his feet.

With a long drawn out sigh he ran his left hand through his short blonde curls before pulling his phone from inside his expensive tailored black jacket. An automatic series of key presses connected him with his closest subordinate who responded immediately.

"Crimson," said the Director "I think its time for a more elegant approach, and kindly bring a mop to G5"

To Be Continued. . .

You you lose movement control when using attack powers, its not immobilse as such but the loss of control that i was refering to.

Why does melee actually fail against ranged toons at the moment?


Being Rooted for 1-2seconds when you use a skill

I think addressing that issue would require alot more time and effort but would improve the balance more so than tweaking suppression values, and would allow for suppression to be removed from pvp entirely then just increase the endurance cost of travel powers.

My own little idea

Well my favourite scrapper moment is either tanking Lord Recluse in an MoSTF on my DB/Regen for the duration of the fight or soloing Siege(as an AV) , both moments were achievements for me as far as pushing my builds capabilities. (The scrapper is named Sereta, and yes the emp and kin who helped keep me toe to toe against lord recluse were excellent)

Ofcourse my favourite scrapper is likely to be a character i have created myself, natural human ego is a blessing and a curse, so excluding myself my favourite scrapper ive played with is DarkKnight, always a pleasure to scrapper lock alongside

[u]Chapter 2[u]

Shattered Insight

(Coming Soon)

Ummm, wow im amazed.

Thanks for the suppoer leighB, i apologise for the delay in an update, im currently abroad for work purposes, but am in the process of getting part 2 beta'd at the moment and hope i am able to get it posted soon
