ColdSpark

yeah and probably easier for peeps to attend - I know that 6pm GMT (which is what 7pm BST is) would be tougher for me and I suspect most of the other poor working fools.

Combat Jumping is a nice get out of immob power (even if u are immob'd you can toggle it on and you "break free").

Then later in the pool you get Acrobatics which is a nice hold/sleep/KB(I think) resist.... its another toggle but worth having - certainly on my PVP respec'd Nrg/Ice/Primal blaster I took it and he's been known to do OK PvP

Think those are your only choices as a blaster tbh

Huge apologies for this but you know that we're now in British Summer Time - so is the time for the start now 7pm BST or still GMT - I'm not certain when Europe adjusts its clocks...

If you want someone to lead the holding blasters I'd be happy to do that with Cold Spark (50 En/Ice)....

Double did it last time - he's been conspicuous by his absence on the thread so far - I'll harass him later when I get on

For those interested the holding blasters cossie (iirc) is Red with a rather tasty Purple "H" on the front - try not to go for pansie red like I did last time :P

Hey sorry I didn't provide the info - you have the choice -

Cold Spark himself (50 Nrg.Ice.Force Blaster) - has a hold and was on the holding blasters team at the last sucessful Hami raid on Union

Stygian Spark - 45 WS - Gravity Well

Outside chance I'll have my Earth/Rad troller into the range by then he's 38 now

Hey Jiaozy, Would you be able to maybe post a table with how many bods of each AT we have so far?

Might give people a good guide as to where we really need more - I'll be asking the kinetics guys I know later to try and get them to attend.

I'll just give this a shameless nudge and as justification ask that all Union SG leaders (and CoV leaders too - come on villains we know you kill DE too!) get their guys to support this.

If we can get enough the jelly is going down... I'll bring the sponge cakes - who's got the whipped cream? Its triffle time!

Yes sorry I should have explained the build a bit.

I regularly team with 3 other players and the 4 toons we are using this time around are my kheldie, an Ill/Storm troller, an Elec/Kin defender and an Elec/Elec blaster.

Hence I thought I'd make a medi-kheldie (though obviously can also chuck out a lot of damage when in nova and will tank for us when the time comes).

Must say - finding PB's much easier than my 45 WS - he's just very complicated (still good fun though)

Hi Guys, Anyone know what mag the hold is for PBs? I'm going to take Incandescant Strike anyway but the hold Mag could make me take it a smidgen earlier.... for fun here's my build as stands - currently lvl 17.

Hi Shades, my earth/rad is around 26 atm... he's VERY good at crowd control for PVE, not tried PVP. I don't have numbers for the debuffs but let me put it this way... We did Babbage on the TF the other day and Adamastor, with both debuffs on them they couldn't hit our team at ALL.. 4 of us took both of em with no damage being done...

Just for discussion this is my Earth / Rad build... My first troller and am loving every moment... I can't do damage but as my regular team is myself, a fire/fire blaster, a Stone/EM brute and a dark/dark defender I don't worry about it... The debuffs on Rad are just too nice... EF and RI on Babbage last night - he didn't hit anyone on the team once!

oh I know its not fully slotted yet btw

Comments most welcome

Hi Mate,

Union Leaders is a chat window organised by some of the SG leaders to help coordinate events etc. Not sure how/why you got invite but that's not a bad thing I'm in there somewhere I think but doesn't hurt to have more than one of us represented.

Apologies to Zak and AOW. Not really fair of us to have wasted your time like that.

I think we need to find a better way for people to declare interest in PvP events before we signup for more, PvP is not everyone's cup of tea so I think now the novelty of Raiding is wearing off (to be replaced with gripes about how impossible it is to defend ) we may find it tougher to get enough bods for these events.

ANYWAY....

That aside I shall see you guys online tonight - that second SF got delayed the other day due to a technical issue with our usualy quick respec.

Anyone therefore want to sign up for SF2 this evening (the Leviathan one)?

Yeah what's that about hun? confused the hell outta me (yes I know that's easily done... sigh :P)

Re Sappers / Improved ones - certainly hope we can get them, I don't remember seeing them on the build list... You can get Elite Sappers too.... mmmm Elite Sappers :P~~~~

Morning all...

Big news today......

Base:

At about 1am last night we took delivery of our new shiny generator.... the whole base positively throbs with power now... Its not exactly small mind but the 5000 Energy produced should keep us going for a while

Next up is more control. We can place advanced databases that create 1000 control a pop - they're a bargain too at a mere 1million prestige to place.... Bridger pls tell me you guys are reviewing costs... pls!! How about more missions on the SG Comp that have specific prestige rewards... Trial style and on completion the SG gets 1 mill prestige maybe?

Meantime I think we can now tweak the defenses a bit - check out this url guys and let me know what you think would be best (bear in mind we can only have 2 defensive items on our plot size)

Base Items


Events:

Respec 1 at 8pm tonight

I'm in a SF kinda mood too.... SF 2 (Renault - the fish eye one) anyone?

Oh and Art of War want to reorganise the Arena event for tomorrow night when I won't actually be about - if there's enough interest then I'm sure Kitty will organise it (sorry to volunteer you hun!)

Also got an email from another SG after a raid - could be a good opportunity to try defending again now we have a full set of anchors. Shall I set something up for Sat/Sun Evening? What's the preference?

Think that'll do me.... now... do I a) do some work, b) trawl the forums.... tough one.

Hey guys, just a quick post but I'll be running first respec at 8pm Tues in case anyone wants in.

Considering second SF after.. see how we go

Morning guys & gals

First up - big welcome home to Scarlet and Lady Doom. Nice to have you back with us guys.

Also a welcome to our new recruits from over the weekend. Once again the SG is now full (maybe 2 spaces I think...)

Busy weekend for us, HUGE amount of prestige earnt guys well done, bit dissappointing that we needed 1.5 to place the gen rather than 1. My bad there but we're now only 150k away or so I think!

Lets see I know I did respec 3 times, 1st SF and SG SF so not a bad couple of days work...

Apologies to Art of War for not having enough for an arena event with them. Any idea how we could setup a way to register interest on the forums easily guys?

Think that's about all really.... Cyas later.

I'm told its become like an epic badge (and not being an err "avid" collector like Jon I take his word for it) this means no bar..... which is nice because we don't have to worry about how pitifully slowly its moving and is annoying because I want to know how much more to go Can't win...

In a non-secure base the only room that seems to be able to take defense items is the secure tp room - you also need to be on the bigger plot as there is a plot limit on defensive items

Another quality tale..... You really should post these in the creative forum too mate...

Nice, with a bit of luck the new Gen goes in tomorrow then with the shield maybe even same day if we work it

Can I throw an offer of 1st SF out there on Saturday? Any takers?

Hehe - I'm sure he'll be back... I think the line to kill Caleb starts in Sharkhead.....

Btw - Welcome back to Scarlet and Lady Doom - nice to see you both back with us last night


Events:
Tonight I'll run a team for 1st respec as I think quite a few bods are after that


Base:

Can anyone who's lucky enough to not be at work do me a quaver and check the current prestige? how close the the big mill are we now? With the slight hiccup last night on the servers I never got to check....

Oh and Art of War still fancy that Arena event - I guess we can do it on short notice - if there's a nice crowd of us around I'll give Zak a shout and we can get on with handing them their posteriors Or not.

This is good to know - was worried for a second but we're in the clear

yeah no humility or anything needed - no offense taken at all mate... After all - ur Cuddles as for u Kin....
