EU_Damz

Tis me bday today but not celebrating it until friday Thats the OFFICIAL damzs party night out on the town If your in cardiff friday night . . . . . . watch out hehe.

Oh and thank you

Give back our atlas!!!!

hmmmm good thread my votes for union legends would have to be:

Clipse: For all his awesome costumes (yes every single one is awesome), is the undisputed cossie contest king on union.

Globey/rent: Personally i dont know them but they must be legends with the amount of people iv heard talk about them in a positive way about their pvp exploits.

Mothers Love: For the reasons you stated above.

For everybody that was in talos for the invasion at roughly 9ish?? The lag was the worst we'v ever seen . . . . . . nearly all the players there was so laggy NONE of us could move or attack (yet the enemies could ), it didnt bother me because i was flying high taking screenies but seeing all those dead heroes (got pics of them too hehe) was a sad sight which almost prompted me to attack.

Having finally gotten to try them out, I too will have to say "well done". Even when solo (on fire/fire blaster), the zombies kept coming after me non-stop (unlike rikti attacks, where there's sometimes pauses to breathe) and really kept me on my toes trying to stay alive. I love how they come out of the ground too.

Tomorrow I'll try a character that has a self-heal, and some resistances/defenses.

[/ QUOTE ]

thats the big difference i find between the two invasions, with rikti there was really no challenge at all. These zombies while solo are pretty tough for us squishies

Im going to be the first to say . . . . .

"can we have an event/mission which triggers it past the halloween event?"

Wow Good thing i aint on the US servers otherwise i'ld be the games resident troll with my sense of humour
That post is clearly in high spirit and was most likely just looking for an "lol " from the community, was just making light of a situation in which most of them have taken things too seriously (US boards are almost as good as jerry springer sometimes)

I was in an invasion yesterday but was duoin with a friend of mine, i didnt expect that many zombies for a team of 2 :| If im honest i kinda struggled since they caught me off guard with how strong their attacks actually are (which is good).
Next time, i'll be ready

*deleted* Woops, double post noob

Wouldnt it be possible to have a very small timer and two glowies which have to be clicked at same time at alternative ends of the map?
That way by having a very low timer and both clickies on other sides of the map, it would ALMOST force the team to split into two? Not sure if its possible but we already have low timers ingame (mayhem/safeguard missions) so cant see why not

Love the new damz!

[/ QUOTE ]

Think it suits me more than a number

OT: In the US there seems to be some concern over the lack of rewards but to me having the drops turned into "skeeball tickets" is rewards in itself. Think theyr looking at this MA as more endgame content, however having another way of earning merits (i presume you trade tickets for merits, so for example 10 tickets = 1 merit?) i can see the very rare recipes being extremely expensive merits wise

I for myself will be playing purely for the stories and content, reward is just a bonus to me. Now my heroes can FINALLY rob atlas bank!

Edit: Also hostile hostages? This mean after rescuing them we then have to defeat them too? Poor poor fusionette xD

Click this LINK to read more, sounds very interesting and especially liking the rewards regarding xp/drops.

damn I wasnt gonna log on today but seems like CoX is forcing me to play now, zombies zombies zombies xD

I don't remember any archers in any of the Romero films, apart from Diary of the Dead, which I haven't seen but know of.

Its worth the price of the film just to see him use it on the kid Dont know why i laughed at it 2bh . . . . . . haha yeah i do, it was funny

So with the zombie invasion starting on monday a couple of you MUST have a few toons you cant wait to blow these zombies away with So what toon/AT/sets are you going to be using most for this event?
Im going to personally (yes no more trained monkeys using my characters ) use . . . . .

Ultimate Damz - ill/rad - EMP + zombies = drunken zombies xD

Sonof-damz - MA/SR scrapper - because every zombie needs a good kick to the jaw

Lord Lightman - Ar/nrg blaster - because i has a shotgun ^_^

/signed

iv done it way too many times to clarify me as a noob ^_^

This is something im trying to do with my controller too (ill/rad, can post my build if you like), to be in melee most of the time and able to survive I have only limited experience with storm so cant give any decent comments on that side but on the illusion front . . . .

Phantasm > 3 slots max imo, 2 dmg/acc IOs and 1 dmg. Iv never really noticed phant missing that much (and got no acc into him yet as still aint slotted him ) and from the looks of it it looks like your going to be doing most of the damage

Spectral Terror > > I would only put enhancements into this if you intend of using it for set bonuses since its already perma and almost always hits all mobs with the fear. Would be better off putting more damage then into fissure imo

Ok cant really comment on anything else since dont know if you want IOs or not but i like that someone else wants a scrapper troller too xD Scrapper trollers are VERY powerfull xD

A shiny sword with animated hair...?

[/ QUOTE ]

surely far better than an animated sword with shiny hair?

[/ QUOTE ]

*has flashbacks of who shot roger rabbit*

QR: The whole point of this thread was to get the swords colour to stay the same, not to stay bright and highly noticeable like your all saying.

Bit dissapointed in the sarcastic responses this thread got 2bh, not one of you has given a reason as to why the colours WE (the players) have chosen should be changed when we activate stealth. Yes it shouldnt be bright and noticeable, it should be more transparant which is what stealth is?
Stealth means not invisible correct? Stealth means you are meerly sneaking up on the opposition, as this is reflected in game that if you get close enough to the enemy they WILL attack you since your close enough to be seen. ATM the colours on the clothes/auras stay the same (well the ones iv seen anyway) when you activate stealth but does not on weapons. The colour on the weapons CHANGES until you come out of stealth.

In response to "ooo look a flying glowy weapon all by itself . . . .. ahhhh its attacking!!!" comments . . . . . the weapon would be transparant/stealthed. Your a hero, youv mastered your weapon of choice, im pretty sure that by mastering the arts of being stealthy you can hide your weapon from wandering eyes without having to paint over it.

Also as i said earlier, stealth doesnt = invisible. Otherwise why do we have another power in the same pool set called invisibility that turns you 100% invisible?

Sorry about the rant but just thought 1 or 2 posts were a bit too sarcastic without any half decent reasons as to why. (reply was not to you btw Scarlet, was just a QR to avoid confusion xD)

The Leaflet...

DON'T BECOME EMMERT'S PET

Welcome to our little leaflet from Anti-Jack Emmert Corp. We bid you good day. If YOU have been pursued by Jack Emmert, there is something you can do. His propoganda can't stop us, ANTI-JACK EMMERT CORP!

1. Avoid the beast, AKA Jack Emmert. He is dangerous.

2. Do not let his propaganda get into your mind. Like WWII propaganda, it sounds catchy, but in reality, it doesn't work.

3. Albeit it cannot be teh 'CHAMPIONS Online' until it has some real champion players. Remember, don't overhype a game!

4. Jack Emmert likes doooooooooom.

5. He likes hot women as well.

These fundamental reasons should avoid you from this mighty beast.

SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE PAIN! AVOID JACK EMMERT

All i saw was hot women

Now now people lets try get back ontopic to the point of what rewards would make people attack GMs more? Or am i in the wrong thread again?

This system isn't unfair on villains, or heroes. if its unfair to anyone, its to the casual gamer who doesn't spend 24 hours a day grinding for something meant as a perk for doing something we'd been doing anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

I THINK that the merits rewarded via tfs/trials will be quite high for the time put into them, but for the casual gamer who doesnt have time for tfs, they can still get them via the story arc completion screen. Granted this will take longer than the tf route but they had to put some form of balance between the two right? No-one would do a tf for merits if a short story arc was a quicker method of doing it, this way more people are interested in doing tfs which can only be a good thing.

Also the very rare/powerfull recipes are a sort of endgame product to try and entice you to play your higher level toons more to get it. There is not one item ingame that is needed for a GOOD build.

If anything this system makes getting the harder recipes EASIER for the casual gamer.

Will be interesting to see the cost of each enhancement though. Theres the obvious +recovery/+regen/+recharge sets which they'll put at a high cost but how would they do pricing on the rare but less popular ones?
Ones like pace of the turtle which are classed as rare but sells for next to nothing. Will they keep the merit cost of this low to reflect on the pricing or categorise (totally wrong spelling but hey its friday) them depending on rarity? Speculation of course.

Wasnt it said that story arcs release merits now too? There you go its all even now, villains have non stop arcs. Heroes have non stop radios

Edit: Im certain i read that on the US post by a dev, if no1 can confirm this also i guess i might have to go searching for the quote Something along the lines of expanding the flashback system and improving the end of story arcs rewards.

Running across the fire patches in the gulch Least they had good food in the hospital that day ^_^

October thingy

According to this it starts monday Taken from that dev calender thing. Cant wait

LostNinja said it all. Don't expect any part of your costume to be visible during stealth.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry, but since when does stealth conceal your entire costume?

[/ QUOTE ]

Since Stealth existed.

[/ QUOTE ]

stealth = transparant
Invisibility = oooo where he go?

Yes thats 100% it, obviously some powers in game are going to have too mess up your costume (ice shield, cloak of darkness etc) but then there are other powers (like stealth) that looks like its bugged and changes the colour of certain items SLIGHTLY.

It cannot be classed as "light being bent around a circle into a square hole because the hole is triangle ()" because the exact same colours used on other parts of the body stay the same.

Yes everyone knows you cant have an invisible body with a weapon which the enemy can see, but why does the colour/grade of the weapon have to be changed? I think what luke is asking for is for the colour of the weapons to remain the same . . . . just more transparant which is how it should be.

Oh and yeah first time i took cloak of darkness i was like [censored]? spent ages on that cossie only to find out that even the game engine wanted to cover it up because it was too cool (thats my story and im sticking to it ).
