I noticed that the command on the Heavies Control button is /petcom_all Attack.

Is it possible you have been using this button to send your heavy into battle? Just change it and remove the _all and try it out

Hey add My Mrs....

Black Momma Ice / Thermal / Elec Corr

Cant believe she beat me

I currently run a Ventrilo server for our VG, I am going to talk to my VG leader today and maybe open it up to our coalition friends as a "controlled test" to see how it takes up, its possible it could spread from there.....
At the moment it costs about £5 a month for 30 users, I dont mind paying that for our VG.
If it was to "go big" we could look at a donation link or something but im not going to expand the amount of users unless it does take off

Thanks guys i'll get on to give it a real rugged test out tomorrow, I guess it is very situational but i'll give it a chance

I really dont know if this has been done or suggested before - i'm pretty sure it must have been hashed out somewhere, but just incase it hasn't.........

I know it could get busy, but with the correct amount of sub rooms being set up would this be viable?


Has it been done?

Just thinking - rooms could be along the lines of


Union General Chat / Lobby (All welcome)

Hero General (PvE)
- Atlas Park
- Galaxy City
- Hollows Etc....list all PvE zones

Villain General (PvE)
- Mercy
- Sharkhead
- Nerva Etc....List all PvE zones

Union PvP *All welcome*

- List all PvP Zones Here

Hero PvP
-List all PvP zones individually

Villain PvP
-List all PvP Zones Individually

Union SG / VG leader chat (Locked) (some sort of application process to gain password)

Then possibly have a list of say 20 TF Channels (TF 1, TF 2, TF 3......Etc) that people can use

Even a list of general missions channels could be implimented.

We could select a group of know responsible people as moderators with kick / Ban utilities and set up a forum off one of unions SG's web pages to keep track of Abuse / Banning / complaints / Suggestions etc.

I dont know if it has been done yet, but i do know that a lot of VG / SG's are using VOIP now, and I find it amazing how quickly these tools bring gamers closer together.

What do you think?

Any Thoughts?

That is the question..........Cheesy i know

I tried it with my freespec as am yet to do the 2nd respec so i have a get out of jail free card. unfortunately i didnt get much time to mess with it as the SG was calling. I figured that putting follow on a pet and using my goto bind stopped me from losing my minions but didnt get to test the -ACC on high lvl mobs....so...
1) is it really worth taking
2) can sloting affect your minions keeping up?
3) does tactics negate the -ACC element?

so far the only use i got from it was taking a lvl 12 that had found his way to the tailor in St martial back to the ferry

Nope - Mercs are actually a very nice set - they have a healer, two mezzers and some nice high-end AoE to play with.

Of course, if you want a PvP MM then you can't go wrong with Ninjas - most of their attacks are single-target which are key to winning PvP (noone really goes to take down multiple targets at once, like they do in PvE).

Worth mentioning that the dude is suicidal tho.

Lol I have heard this before, although on my bots MM i find that I have one 1st tier that always dies first too, he seems all to keen to go melee - anyone else get this?

I was teamed with some of the Machines last night...I'm pretty sure that they will be well on their way to 47 about now. any higher bids at the mo?

oops

Gotta say, I love it, I have been fortunate enough to not encounter any bugs at all yet, altho looking at the technical forum, you would think the game is falling apart Gratz to all the new lvl 41's out there, I wish I had the same attention span as you guys, but im gonna kick back and enjoy the grind to 50....its gonna be a big one - maybe taggin along on other peoples patron Arcs will shorten that journey

YES YES YES YES YES! Hmmmm maybe abit to excited about the news

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol Max, I have seen you this excited over a Heroes corpse in Sirens too - are you an excitable chap? Maybe i need to keep you away from the Hordes Females

See you all in grandville

Erm.....i7 is here, i'll be back when i'm 50

Group Name
The Horde

Description
Not to be confused with Orcs, we arent Green and we are slightly more friendly The Horde have a Historic Place in the CoH Universe and there is a large backstory in progress. We have a Webby @ www.Hordeonline.com and also use ventrilo. We Love Task Force missons, PvP and most of all, Base raiding

Webpage
www.hordeonline.com

In game contacts
@Ronin, @Dark Orgasmo, @Xanthe

Favoured Activities
Specialising in Base raids post i7, PvP Zones and Task Force Missions on weekends

Other Activities
We enjoy talking rubbish on Ventrilo and also span out into other games such as WoW, Counterstrike, Battlefield, Guildwars and SWG. We have Heroes and Villains and really get on well as friends as well as villainous allies

Admission Requirements
None what-so-ever, we do have a SG Costume that we like our members to use when they have a spare costume slot for it, and will even help out with paying for it if need be, this is optional though and we may point and laugh if you are the odd one out in a base raid :P (joking of course)

I'd love to get my fire / kin Corr and my Dark / fire brute into practice, more so on test tbh as the whole toggledrop thing on my brute on live is almost unbearable atm and of course /kin has been beefed up in i7

So they arent gimped then? Its just simply a "theme" choice?

How come I hardly see any Merc MM's about? I have taken a Bots MM to 38 so far and am very impressed with the chaos they cause but surely Mercs cause a lot more.....dont they?

What's the main reason people arent Hiring Mercs? I have a feeling they would be a better ally in PvP than Bots, not because of their damage type, but because of the constant flood of Mez / immob they toss about.....

Count me in @ Dark Orgasmo, you have a choice of

Dark orgasmo 40 fire/kin corr
Cremated 40 Dark/Fire Brute
Prober 38 robotics/poison mm

I'd like to apologise if my above comments about moaning offended anyone, as you can see it was posted quite early in the morning (for me anyway) and after re reading it I see that it had a touch of aggression in it.
I dont come here to flame or annoy poeple, and am really impressed at how well the community gets on here compared to my experiences over the last 3 years on the SWG forums

How ever you're toons are more designed for damage, using the right tactics, it doesn't matter how squishie the other team is, you all hit the same target, it aint gonna last long. The mains problem with the villains team was communication. I know the games AoW played against villains, they always ended up coming in drips and drabs and just getting pick off one by one.

This is an excellent Point and Im sure that no one can argue it, I heard that Gutts and his team actually came within 5-10 kills of beating a Hero team and that they were using "team tactics" for the first time in the tourney.

We have a lot to learn, and im glad this event has shown us that. Im kinda hoping that it has boosted the desire for Pvp on Union and am looking forward to much PvP fun from now on

Thanks to the organisers and everyone that took part, it must be difficult getting tells spammed at you every 2 mins and trying to organise things on the fly. (especially as the chat boxes make scrolling up very difficult in busy areas).
I advise any villains that felt hard done by to talk to Gutts and his team, they put up an excellent fight against the heroes and proved to us all that the Villain/hero divide isnt as huge as first thought. (tho i felt like Mike Tysons Punch bag )
**I heard that enclosed maps with no fly space worked in the villains favour, any feedback?**

And to people moaning about the waiting times, I am very much looking forward to the well oiled event that you will be organising in the near future - perhaps you can stop hiding behind your keyboards and show the rest of us how its ment to be done??

On a side note, Im not sure that pentads are the way forward for judging balance issues, as other posters have said VG's will win every now and again, but it seems that Heroes can dish out and take more Damage per AT when you compare each 1 on 1.

I had loads of fun, and tho we didnt do the Hordes Rep much good, we did learn a lot about choosing builds for PvP and look forward to many more events like this

Great!! We would love to join you, and would like to see many other groups getting involved, I got a little fed up with people using excuses like "Heroes have more slots" and "Heroes have accolades". It was simply teamwork that undid most of the Villian Teams, although I do believe that pentads do offer a slight advantage to heroes due to there being more "Squishy" classes in Villains imo.
We need to bring villains out of the PvE mind set and learn how use all of our Powers, not just the ones that work when spammed against longbow.

Union is brilliant!! It has its fill of annoying Powergamers and L337 Kids but it seems thats the norm for MMo's these days. Most of the time its fun and friendly, even in PvP zones.
Come and Join the Horde if you're bored, we seem to have a steady stream of 20+ players online at any given time right now and are getting stuck right into Base raiding and PvP. If you dont get on with us then you have 8 other SG's in coalition with us to choose from

Theres a lot of support on this server, we have had a few large battles with other SG's now and insted of hate and slanging after the event we have always ended up swapping tips and teaming up to work off debt together

excuse my Base noobness, but it seems to me that IOP's just arent worth the effort. am I wrong?
