Indeed next week the entire brice family vs the world!

Indeed I enjoy watching and occasionally taking part in PvP on union rather then defiant cause people tend to remember its a game and meant to be fun for everyone, and try and keep it that way.
And we have a pretty open and friendly inter SG community rather then everyone in one "uber" SG.

The most epic battle since well the last epic battle.

Thanks to everyone thats gone to bat on my behalf but this thread has bought to light the reasons I retired from pvp so I withdraw my offer I'll stick to helping people who ask me for it.
Good luck with the channel and if your ever on union feel free to ask for an invite to ours.

So thats the all in alls fair rule.
I think that 10 minutes is the best length for pentad matches.
Also will you require teams/members to be declared before hand, and if so what are the rules on substitution.
I wont be taking part, but its best to get these things cleared up
Also if you need any help setting up on the hero side just let me know.

I no longer fight in pvp I retired a while ago but I still attend the fights and events regularly to offer help advice and tactics whenever I'm asked. I'd be glad to offer assistance if you need it but I'm afraid I have no way of proving my pvp credentials to you.
(We already have a channel on union for this mainly filled with our test server fighters and it works quite well and is great for setting up arena fights)

It's a shame that there is really only one direction this thread could ultimately take.
And for the record the best PvP supergroup on union is Super Heros In Tights with its mighty roster of less then 2 members we are undefeated in base raids, sg rumbles and even conquered sirens AND warburg at the same time.
Please not some of these events may never have happened.

From what ive seen you could do with an empath or two aswell

Well what can I say other then welcome back.

Wait a second, is this a positive post about stalkers????
Ah [censored] ive shifted into bizzaro paragon again, damn unstable dimensional barriers, that nemisis has got a lot to answer for!.

Thanks to everyone that made it, I hope those that hadnt tried it before enjoyed it and will be joining us again.

We kinda use the test server on set days/times for this already

Well done all I managed to attend and keep up with my test server commitments (multiple pc's FTW!!) so it was a last minute thing and i didnt get a chance to change outfit/colors but i did have a non cape/aura costume so i changed to that , so if anyone saw the one hero rad team sat next to hami with TK and dominate on auto that was declining group invites that was me.

Good luck everyone attending this from the entire Cherry Tree.
Cant make it myself a previously arranged appointment on test requires my attention but if the raids still going by the time im done there I have Cherry Fusion rad/rad/psi defender and Cherry Drops grav/ff/psi controller available.
Good luck all.

There are indeed 2 on union duckdee, the one valens mentions is the one mainly frequented by the international pvp'ers or "monday nighters".

It was indeed a fun evening I didnt get to watch as many fights as i'd have liked to this time cause I got roped into a joining a team, but it was mostly enjoyable.
And all you tanks out there i hope you learned a lesson, never taunt a bubbler, it makes us angry

Thats the spirit, down with other controller types, one random thrown object at a time!

Nothing wrong with grav really my sing and I are closer then weve ever been.
I just miss the days of having my multiple pets sing song sang and sung, I could hold time itself back then ;(.
Grav great for solo not so good in the more common style of team play as the other builds. We can phase foes, not really needed when your uber fire/en blaster can take em out in the time it takes you to activate, we can wormhole entire groups away, not really needed when someones fulcrum shifted then sneezed wiping the entire map out.
But we can throw forklift truckt, can you do that mr fancy imp buffer, he knows who he is!

Seems a nice tight build that does the job it wants to do.
I would consider possibly adding an end drain to empulse if you have space, combined with power build when a toggler is low on end they rarely expect that last bit to suddently vanish when theres no kinetics/electric around so you can catch them by suprise detoggling them allowing your team to pounce on them while the pop a breakfree from the hold.

Ok, im gonna say it dammit somebody has to.
Gravity, there I said it.
OK so its not big and clever and the be all and end all of damage like mind/fire. Maybe it lacks the flare of illusion, or the control of earth.
And so what if we lack the decent secondary effects of ice we’ve got wormhole.
Thats right I went there wormhole great for throwing crey off rooftops in brickstown, and getting rid of those pesky mastermind pets.
And we can throw frikin CARS around!!!!

This post has been bought to you by the letters S A R C A S and M.

2 bubblers could be useful but to get the "perma phase" they would have to be defenders, which means if you want a, for example, kin or empath on the team it would have to be a controller, and as such not as effective in either role as they cant control cause theyre buffing/healing or cant heal/buff cause they are controlling.

This is an informal practice session so it will take place on the live server Union.

Force field is a defender primary so all effects/powers last longer or offer more protection compared to the controller version, same with radiation, kinetics, empathy e.t.c.
The controller version of detention field was (pre the ED issue, I cant recall the number) perm-able, infact it was used in an S4 battle by the fusion stalking allstars to remove a blaster and a SR scrapper alternately from a fight.
So if the defender version is still on the old time scale it is/was perm-able, but to restate a few things
1. There is a maximum number of each AT (otherwise for example, we’d just stick 8 blaster with nova’s an tp in, tp em into a group at the same time and all nova at once) we are aloud per team so the plan falls down in that respect.
2. It is again supposed to be fun, and as has been mentioned this is quite a boring, almost dirty, tactic so the plan again falls down there.
3. Outside the box thinking is to be encouraged, in this respect the plan succeeds, it has been bought up a few times before in this guise or a few others.

So keep em coming and everyone and lets see if we cant get one that fits all three categories.

And I resent being called a Borg Drone, I'm clearly atleast a Queen.

I think we can agree that pvp is very much a rock paper scissors affair todays unbeatable team is tomorrows prime target in sirens, once people see how effective something is people work harder to beat it.
Groups work best when they compliment each other, and are able to adapt to the "game" going in with one plan can only lead to failure, it might work once or twice but ultimately once people except it then you'll find it difficult.

Out of the box thinking and new and interesting tactics are to be praised so keep em coming just remember one thing, something that some people dont grasp, this is a game, it is played for fun, not just yours but the other players to, winning is important but so is enjoyment.
