I'm making it for AV soloing, but the ability to have a second build and go for more AoE is a plan as well.

I find the amount of shield users a bit annoying.The main draw to shields is the Alpha Strike power called Shield Charge.Which dont get me wrong,i think its a great power,but makes horrible players decent,and the added power from Agenst All Odds,makes a bad,or half way decent player a God.

Then throw Fire Melee or Lightning Melee into the mix,and there pretty much unstoppable in missions and farms....unless there net fails or the game crashes on them,causing there death...(Crosses Fingers)

I guess im just picky,i dont really enjoy a set/s that makes the game so little of a challenge,that everyone and there grandmother are using it.

With all the power sets in the game,and costume options,the ability to change the color of powers..and even some of the animations for a few sets...whats the point of picking the same thing everyone else has already?I figure if people wanted that kind of narrow choice in a game,they would stick with WoW,or EQ or something like that,where choices are very limited....Ahh well,im just rammbling now....cheers!

I will refrain from mentioning any names or chat channels as to avoid this thread getting mod smacked by da Ocho.

A member of P.o.N was silenced today in a global chat channel for asking someone if they had direct tv...



[*** ** ********]Voltaic-Shock: i dont wanch bbc america what channel is it? you have direct tv?
[*** ** ********]@Voltaic-Shock has been silenced in channel '*** ** ********' by @****** *******
[*** ** ********]]****** *******: Take it to tells.
[*** ** ********]]XxBudvveiser8xX: woooooooooow
[*** ** ********]]XxBudvveiser8xX: silenced for asking that? really?
[*** ** ********]]******: Yes really
[*** ** ********]]XxBudvveiser8xX: wow
[*** ** ********]]******: for real
[*** ** ********]]XxBudvveiser8xX: srs
[*** ** ********]]****** *******: Here, Bud. I'll take care o' this for you.
[*** ** ********]]You were kicked from channel '*** ** ********]' by @****** *******
Left channel '*** ** ********]'

This is a bunch of horse shitz. This is nothing more then a power trip of someone that has some srs envy issues.

Bottom line is this: Screw that channel. If you want a global chat channel that you will NOT be told what, who, or when you can speak, Then give Champions United a try.
Were Pleased to have Nievene, and The Ocho himself in the channel with us. and we are proud to say we have never had even a single incident in this channel ever. No ones ever needed to be silenced, kicked or anything of the kind.

Why? because its a FREE SPEECH CHANNEL. Leave the drama out, and just be yourself. No worries of the Chat police kicking you in the face if your not in their "cool kids club"

Sorry in advance if You think this thread is wrong to be here Ocho, but I did do my best as to not directly attck, or offend anyone directly by mentioning names or even channels. I hope this thread does not disappear, but actually helps those afraid to say something themselves.

Champions United... Say what you want.

But it is a constant refill of that cap that once my quills touched other enemies outside of the aggro my cap was constantly replenished and always full but never overfull...fun times. Mish got nerfed, bleh.

We have limited funds since the new system came in place. So AOW can:

1. Scrap the one day event and run multiple events each week such as 1st week of the month we have our monthly CC and hold a monthly 800 Million AE Challenge. Let us know which week is best for your sg.

2. Have a one day celebration as we planned for December but hold it January 17th. But then we are broke and wont be holding other events for awhile.

3. Compromise. We hold our monthly CC, Every 3 months hold a 800 Million AE Challenge, and January 17th hold one CC and a 4 Billion AE Challenge. I know this cutting the challenge in half seems mean but it allows AOW to keep some of it's funds to hold future events. We are trying to work on our PvP sg and need funds to hold future events and work on our alts.

Let us know what you think is best. Decision will be made by January 1st.

Yes the Challenges will allow open teams (PuG's of mixed SG's AND VG's) but all funds will be paid in Influence.

Budweiser, you have a huge say in this, Apochrypha says her team can match your team and would like to see a friendly rivalry. William Alexander is also throwing down the gauntlet. I am sure Dave Mebs has his team ready for anything as well.

AOW funds will be distributed between sg leaders so we will not have the same problem as before. If i cannot make it, there will be someone who can take over.

In brief, its a Movement-Defence/Melee archetype for those characters whose primary power is movement eg Flash, Nightcrawler, Cannonball, Angel and Toad to name but a few.
The primary combines a level 1 travel power with defensive powers, many of which would require movement to work. eg short range teleport with no immobilise at the end that adds +Def to all positions per click.
Keep moving and you can stay one step ahead, stand still and you're a sitting duck.

You could add in other self buffs, such as a +damage Momentum sprint for speedsters.

The secondaries would be pretty much the usual scrapper sets, with slightly lower damage and no criticals.

I think this kind of character would add a whole new dynamic element to combat in CoH.
