We still have ours on live. If you would like to see the bonuses, talk to me.

ty LH!

I would encourage all participating groups to please re-read the rules that were drafted at an open meeting of interested groups.
If ladder rules need to be re-drafted, then that is a possibility, but any matches that have taken or will take place (untill the event of a rule change) operate underneath the original rules.
Further discussion is futile, as all groups had equal opportunity to read said rules and are subject to their enforcement and any related consequences.

It's not needed for the LRSF. It's not needed anywhere. It's broken. The only need is the need to have it fixed.

I got a PM last night from the point man for a group that is going to make an LRSF attempt with no shivans, no nukes, no stacked vengeance, no granite brutes and no rads.

I wish them the best of luck and hope that they succeed. I did state in reply that if it takes longer than four hours, I'll still consider the LRSF a broken design. Much in the same way I consider the new Hamidon broken.

We're looking forward to giving this a shot. Now where did I put that petless Mastermind...

I thought I would introduce myself, since you mentioned you don't know who many members of the PvPEC are...

I'm the Villain Rep! If you have any concerns or suggestions regarding villains, I would love to put those up for consideration and discussion.
About me:
I lead a large PvEverything villaingroup on Infinity.
I have 27 months of experience with the game, including tons of experience with corrupters, and a level 50 of everything else (except Dom's...dunno why, but I just can't level one.)
I am an Advertising major in College- senior year.
I eat more pizza and drink more mountain dew then any woman should. :P

What I do with the PvPEC:
I am working on a new PvP event type for the arena currently, working on testing the new patch for base raids, and I look over all the planned events to make sure that villain interests are considered. I do a lot of graphical and promotional work for the committee, as well. You'll be seeing some of my work very soon. Oh, and I like to tag Rift with heat exhaustion just for fun.

PM me if I can help you with anything!

Contacts- @Darque Duce [In-game or Via forums in Sig]
PVP Preference- Arena & Zone only. No test server, please. Base Raids after IoP return. Advance notice requested.

History- ECoTDM was formed on the first day of headstart for CoV and has recently started expanding our PvP presence to the Arena. We are a broad, well-rounded VG with a growing interest PvP events.

Well, the Mafia as completed several RSF's since I-8 and I thought I'd post some tips we've learned to help you all get through the RSF with the new bugs....

Setting up: Make sure everyone has shivians. Period. You will need them since DC's mean that only 80% of your team will be in the mishs at any given time. Nukes: everyone should have a chem, at least. For bios, you really only need 1/2 the team to get those. We use about 5 chems and 3 bios on the last mish, and thats the only time you really need them, but the fight is over in one rush if you have them, so keep on getting them. Make sure EVERYONE is on villianous. When DC's happen in between missions, often the new mish will set to the new leaders diff. Don't make the regular mobs any harder then they have to be, and it will take less time over all. Finally, have everyone load another instance of the CoX updater (if their comp can handle it) so if they DO Dc, then they will not have to verify. NOTE: This only works for everyother DC, on the 2nd DC you will still have to verify, and so on. It still saves time. Rule of Thumb: If you have 1 brute with taunt, one corr with a non-acc based heal, and 2-3 other dmg dealers, then you can finish the mish/kill AV's in all but the final mish (9 times out of 10). So unless someone needs a objective-specific badge (like for the Titan), then start w/o them to save time overall. Afterall, most people JUST want the SHOe's.

Defeat Crimson: Have a brute/stalker with fly take out the chasers while the rest of the team focuses on the other objectives... it will take much less time. Have someone scout the 1st tower. IF THE TECH IS IN THERE.. RESET THE MISH. The tech is REALLY buggy, and oftentimes will not follow or get lost if hes in the 1st tower. Resetting is faster to ensure that the ambush comes as planned, and the tech follows properly.

Assault Malta Base: 2 words. Skip stuff. This mish takes less then ten minutes even if half the team DC's.... Go to the wood bridge to the left of the heli, in the water. Pull the mob by the Titan, and kill them.. then pull the titan and kill him. Clean strags surrounding the Titan mob/door to get key. Have someone with port/stealth (or grant invis on a recall friender) go to the boss room and port everyone there. Have a brute/stalker kill the mainframe/mob while everyone else rushes Slinger. When the AV and guards are down... get the hell out.

Future of FP Mish: Pull to the globe. Manti can't get up there, and so that is one less to deal with. Stack holds on 1st target: Numina to take her down fast. Then get Sis... Make sure the team is not close to Babs (have a brute taunt him off to the side) since his footstomp will often wipe a team. After Sis is down, kill Babs... Rebuff and rush Manti who will still be at the Admin bld... then clear some longbow at the Admin bld to get the mish complete... Exit.


Vindicators: Ok, this one is cake.. really. 1st off: When you enter head to your left, clearing mobs till you get to the Vind's room. (Have someone die for vengance in an LB mob, if veng is avail) Pull Malaise with a low dmg attack from an invised corr/dom. Kill him. After that (chances are you won't get JUST malaise, but you might), have your brute tank the rest while corrs stack holds on Luminary or Swan, after one is down.. kill the other. If you need a shivian or two, use them but save the nukes. After that kill Mynx, stack -regen debuffs to get her down fast. For Valk, keep the corrs far away as the brute taunts her at close range. Her circle sword attack can one shot due to its DoT nature. After she dies the first time, have everyone stack as many holds (with meglo if avail) on her as possible... if she gets held upon her rez, then she CANNOT go MoG and the fight will take 2 secs. If she goes MoG, then wait it out while spamming debuffs/heals/holds. After that, invis a brute/stalker and have them go get the key.. If they activate a tier 9/demonic before entering the key room, then te spine wardens which are USUALLY there will most likely miss with their AoE toggle, and not interrupt the glowie clicking. After its been clicked, port them back fast and kill the inc ambush. Invis and port or kill your way to miss Lib.. One shot to the face from that rifle obtained in the malta mish, and her def is flatlined. Take her down fast, and exit mish.

The MAIIIIN Event- Defeat FP: Ok, enter the mish, and have everyone wait about 5-10 minutes while using all recharging buffs to test lag/server stability. Hit /unloadgfx and /reloadgfx to clear your graphic cashe. Check your ping by hitting /netgraph 1 (anything higher then about 400 is BADDDDDD and you need to reboot your computer since your lag will make you totally frusterated in a fight) and close that window with /netgraph 0. If there is too much lag/or people start dc-ing, then reset the mish by having everyone log for 5 minutes and reboot their computers/router to eliminate/reduce lag. The LAST thing you want is to lose your brute or corrs to a DC or have them unable to attack due to lag. When everything is fine and dandy, buff with player buffs, spawn shivs/epic pets, and blow vengance and 2 bio nukes. (Two bios hits the regen cap I believe) Then, rush or pull however you are used to finishing it. Kill Num 1st, then Sis...after that call targets based on their health and location to the group. Leave States for last, and save one bio and one chem for him. After they are down, remind everyone to check their free enhancement space and clear two spots, just to be sure... then hit "accept SHOe". All done
I hope this helps. Alot of the prepwork can make it go much faster, and knowing how many people you need to complete, and what conditions to avoid has made our completions go smoothly even with 2-6 DC's per person.

Happy RSF-ing!

Last time I looked VidiotMaps was successfully sold.

Good video, one thing at the end theres a spelling error i'm almost positive you meant honor in PvP and not vP, if so I apologize, but I thought i'd point that out for you.

[/ QUOTE ]
I dont remember which I ment b/c the viddy is older...just got around to posting it, but player vs. player or vs. player....im sure people got it...I hope :P

[ QUOTE ]
I enjoyed the video very much. I haven't tried PvP at all in CoH/CoV yet, but your philosophy reminds me of my PvP days in Diablo II way back when where we would not allow the use of potions.

Anyway, very cool watch!

[/ QUOTE ]
Ty! Ill be posting other vids I have done soon if the interest is there so look for them in this section or the Art/Video section...

I don't use insps unless the other person wants to, but most of my toons have PS, Fear, Defense, stun, or other difficult things to counteract w/o insps. Trollers/Doms usually can't do enough dmg before I lock them down with one of the above... But I spend ALOT of time dueling to perfect tactics for vs. the different classes.... sometimes I lose...lesson learned....sometimes I win...whoo for me, but I would rather fight build to build then against a blaster with 20 reds. *eep* My target is to build a toon that is formidable in both pvp and pve at the same time...and so far I have a toon to fight almost every AT with balanced odds...
As for my BU... :P At the time of the video Darque Domina was only level 38, and I had JUST gotten god mode...takes a while to go from playing a d/d corr to a e/e brute

[ QUOTE ]
Lemme be the first to say - we need a PvP zone where such rules are implemented.
So many greens and BF's get popped in pvp it's beyond silly...

but: Good Fight. Good Night.

Tyty, i'd be happy to duel you anyday... :P @darque fox if you wanna try one of my toons on for size.
