  1. Hey everyone been talking this over with some friends and we are going to try to get this going. So far I have tentative SGs willing to host this any SG that is willing to open their doors would be welcome to do so.

    I would ask everyone try to get Shivian and Nukes but its not mandatory. As of now we are keeping a tight core group to inform everyone how the trial is run. This means there are not a lot of spots we will take what best benefits the group but do know we will be doing this often and they will not always be wins so be patient. We will include everyone interested eventually. The goal is to get as many people the badge as we can.

    The only other thing I must warn you about is if we encounter the Storm Aspect we will be scrapping the run for that night. The disparity between him and the other AV is huge and I don't wish to waste people time and effort in collecting temps on a vastly uphill challenge. Maybe in time we will see a way through the difficulty of it but for now the run will be called if we encounter him.

    We will begin this Wednesday at 9pm EST (6 PST) We will try to do some switching between Hero side and villain. Wednesday night wil be a villain side run. We will switch the side we run on after each non scrapped run, if we win against the AV or not. That means if we get the Storm AV we will do that side again the next night. I think that should be the most fair allowing everyone to get a chance against the not Storm AV. A set that would be better to bring to begin with is Dark Miasma: Their AoE psi resist and def are helpful with the psi damage and they have long term -regen power.

    I will write up a little Strategy post a little later tonight so people can be informed before they join

    I know I'm not that crazy. I'll wait until the zone is opened up to me to get those badges.

    I must say with PvP rules in effect it makes the AVs very unfair fights.

    Im close to being done with badges other than Day Jobs and we will not be seeing 1000 until next issue. Unless someone starting in Praetoria really works hard to get all Praetorian badges plus Blue and Red side. Have not done the math but I believe there are enough baddges in Praetoria to outweight the unobtainable seasonal badges and boost you over 1000.

    I dont think you understood what they ment. When his shield is up he is in an Only Affecting Self bubble. Despite that he is able to attack through it while being completely untouchable. So people running the CoP are getting slaughtered by the AV while they are trying to clear the spawns to drop his shield.
  5. The AV at the end is random. Some are easier some are harder. So that really factors in to if you will win in the fight against the AV
  6. I think I have plans this next weekend. Ill make it if I can though. ^_^
  7. Im not 100% sure but I think you need to make the full switch. Going to do some more testing today to be sure.

    Well back before BT could actually go over there thats who it was ((needing to have a different name and all)) but she hasnt been logged in in forver because i dont like fire melee on brutes
  9. BT does not have a Praetorian counterpart as of yet. Im still trying to work out the story there. The mask she wears that gives her the superpowers she uses to fight crime is a double edged sword infecting her if she sleeps with it on and releasing all the evil that she has worked so hard to stop. This manifests in a change in her apearance like so.

    hmm...the always lovely Victoria is the best i can show.


  11. Ooh i wasnt upset not to be included in the list. Just glad i wandered in on this thread so i knew about it ^_^
  12. If i can keep those darn kids off my lawn long enough and i dont break a hip this sounds like good old fashioned fun. Pun intended ;p
  13. Tsk Tsk taking a pic in a place that doesnt always spawn the same. Thats not very fair...to some
  14. Ill just hit on one point here as its late for me.

    The thing Pain brings that no other set before it redside is a decent +regen power. One of the issues of why people wanted a empathy like set was because Hamidon. Hamidon is able to do a -heal on whoever is hit by it or the green mitos. This would make it so no one without amazing regen could tank him, the EoEs are not enough. This is why when the set first came out people were less than pleased with it. It only has painbringer to offer +regen (unless you count the MM toggle and we dont 8p)

    There are many other issues with your sugestion but ill let someone else cover it.
  15. Just fiddling around and noticed the two new faces are not included in the special helmet section. I hope that this was just a slight oversight because of the fact it is not a general section. Could you please add the two new faces to this section?

    Dont know if this was intentional but I chuckled at the imagery.
  17. I was Arctic Harmony on Kids team. I had tons of fun doing this. Allowing temp powers made this an interesting event because we could get set up to run these with some insane powers.
    All in all i thought it as really well set up. The death penality was really good idea especially.

    With all the negative attention to TA needed some postive things said. It's not as limited or as useless as people could be falsely concluding. Jumping to false conclusions is quite epidemic around here.
    Well personal attacks aside for a moment. Thank you for finally becoming clear on the reason you decided to muck up this thread. I can understand wanting to say something nice about TA because it is a set that most people pass over. This thread however is just about juxtaposing the effect TA has against other defender sets. I wont reprise everything that has been said throughout this thread about how the debuffs of TA underperforming against the debuffs of other sets. The point being this thread is about constructive criticism on the set not about bashing the set and those who play it. I love my TA character. Would I like to be able to perform like some of the other defense sets? In survivability yes but I enjoy how TA plays and I can supplement IOs for some of my survivability.

    As far as the conclusions made in this thread they have not been hastily decided upon playing the set for the first 10 levels. They come from comparing the real numbers in game of powers from all the defender sets. This includes the AT changes from Defender to Controller to Corruptor to Mastermind. Trickshooter and many others have put in a considerable amount of time on this.

    Now, to come back and attack me by saying you don't have the time to elaborate on the very nature of whatever argument you are trying to make because I am here saying something trying to raise my post count is insane. Check my post count and join date it's defiantly not that. This only is made more apparent by your constant replies to everything that types in this thread. None of it even giving the slightest bit of thought to the actual content of the post.

    So I will say this again. Please just walk away from the thread unless you have the time to make a decent post about the merits or shortcomings of TA.

    Edit: TBH I am a lil be too tipsy tonight to get into anything detailed. I'll save reading the biggest off posts for another day.
    So you are saying because you play a Tank Trick Arrow is ok because they do something (support can be anything from buffing a team to debuffing or dealing damage) on the team when your tanking. Good enough and balanced are not the same. Im sorry but I dont think you understand the subject at hand. You have yet to say a single helpful thing on the matter of TA and your wording on almost post is being misinterpreted, or so you believe. I think its time for you to just walk away from this thread.
  21. Hey Gob thanks for posting this. I was wondering what was going on. I got 2 as well. If its fake they really did a great job putting it together. Like most others I have never played Aion and am not french. I can kinda read it and it didnt read badly no grammar errors I could see. *shrug* I have no interest in Aion so wasnt an issue beyond getting it
  22. Happy Birthday Keggers!!! Hope you are having a wonderful vacation
  23. Theres only one place in the game that has that tacky green carpet 8p
