I'd put in a good word for option 3 - I'd rather not relive the monkey cage match.

[/ QUOTE ]

Since I doubt we'd be able to close the gap any more than we did in the second fight, I'm inclined to let our match with team 1 stand.

I like option 4 as well, but we still have to figure out what to do about byes and matches against team 7. Option 3 offers the simplest (if not technically best) means of doing so. Call the original byes "wins," and call matches against team 7 "wins by forfeit" and move through the rest of the schedule at our earliest conveniences.

Sounds like a good way to deal with the attrition we've already had and to prevent future attrition. For example, while I won't be dropping, after the second week of august my time is going to be *severely* limited. I'd imagine the same (or similar) is true for others.

In any event, team 4 votes option 3: Two people already voiuced suport for option 3. I suspect hery would be willing to endorse our votes if she's not already in favor of that option. It would be nice to get the official go ahead to clear our matches out ahead of the schedule, though.

Ok its either

<ul type="square">[*]play 1 team twice in the 8 week season [*]Turn the 8 week season into a 7 week to play each team only once [*]Not change schedule at all, leaving Byes, and each time you come up against Team 7 its a automatic win and another bye.[/list]
this is something big that i would like to have input and a vote form all teams. plz let me know as fast as you can.

I'm inclined toward option 3.

option 2 or 3 is the only way to maintain a fair round robin.

Option 1 would actually have us fighting the same team not twice but three times, by a freak of the draw--it just so happens that they have a bye when we fight 7 and we have a bye when they fight 7, in addition to our regular week 8 match.

Option 2 would maintain RR best...unless another team drops out, then we have to re-amend the brackets.

Option 3 would be easiest to deal with for organizational purposes and won't require any additional tweaking if others drop out. You can justify option 3 as maintaining round robin fairness by calling the new "byes" win by forfeit of the dropped team...

I guess you can call all that "thinking out loud." I'm fairly sure option 3 makes the most sense and is the easiest to manage.

I can;t speak for my whole team (Mac and Hery) or for Team 1 (Sid, Doc, and Imp), but I'd leave it open for discussion to either count our fight from yesterday as our week 8 match or redo it in week 8 and call yesterday's farm run "practice." The matches were 24-3 and 5-3, incidentally. The first match was monkey cage madness.

Team 1 beats Team 4, 2-0. GG guys.

Just noticed that the schedule has us (team 4) fighting team one again next week...and again week 8.

I have came to the conclusion that blasters are way over powered. I believe that the dom nerf was stupid. Now, I havent been able to see a dom (nor myself) who can kill a blaster. Granted I've been close to actually killing one, but I've never succeeded.

[/ QUOTE ]

It occurs to me that we CoH players are spoiled when we consider something that no (almost no?) other MMORPG has (a way to easily chat with players on other shards) is considered a "basic social tool."

[/ QUOTE ]

This is at best appologetics, at worst irrelevant to the problem. Maybe I have that backwards.

Wonder how long we'll get to stew without any official information about why globals are completely down for everyone...

[/ QUOTE ]

Is chemical lobotomy too extreme?

Look at the i9-era Fire/Fire/Pyre regen tank build. I've been running a slightly modified version of that build since i9 and have been very, very pleased with it.

HF is on a 10 second recharge (with hasten inactive) and returns 920 HP (roughly 40% of total HP). The regen rate is 1.53%/sec (34.36HP/sec or 135ish/4 second tick). I have 69% resistance to S and L, capped Fire res, 45% energy, and 54% neg. Cold resistance is low (17%). Defense is negligible (about 6.2%), but w/e. The build I run is geared toward killing *everything* quickly. The resistances are high enough to easily survive alphas, and hte rapidly recharging heal and the high regen rate help overcome any noticable resistance shortcomings. The build was made before Oblits were introduced, and I'd like to have more procs in a few things, but i doubt i'll respec any time soon.

The other thing is the build was made before some of the more desirable IOs got stupid expensive--numi++, miracle+, regen tissue+, and lotg+. So, while it didn;t cost me too terribly much to build the toon, it's likely cost more now.

Well, at least it will get people out of the AE... I doubt the expanded difficulty settings will work in there.

[/ QUOTE ]

Even better - I hope if a character goes into an AE mission as an eight-man team it locks that character for a week, strips them of goods, and makes them level 1.

Setting yourself up as a "larger teams" is so obviously an abuse of AE that there would be no debate or not if they player was trying to abuse it or not.

Like it.

I dont think TF teams were at issue, though I may be wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]

OP seems to have been talking about regular missions. I've never known JFA, or JH before it, to be a good place to recuit a non-TF, non-trial team. Not that it didn't happen, but only very, very rarely. I don't think that difficulty in recruiting a mish team in JFA speaks to any dark portent.

I don't realy know enough about Chrome to make the same observation.

oh, I meant letting someone ELSE hold aggro. You know, if you're a lowbie brute with no way to really survive Nosferatu and there's another brute that CAN handle him but has no taunt. That makes things really frustrating

hmm... interesting scenario.

Personally, Ive never been on a lowbie broot with no way to really survive Nosferatu when there's another brute that CAN handle him but has no taunt AT A VILLAIN HAMIDON RAID.
