  1. I think if you capture enough pillboxes so that the heroes win you have 5 minutes or so where RV looks like atlas, if you really wanted atlas as the background for both sides.

    Personally i think the best way to do this would be multiple photos, especially since zone cap is 50 anyway (i think), so if more than that show up, some will miss out.

    Cool thing about RV is you could form the photo like the Good vs evil edition Coh box, which i think would look awesome (reminds me of the first time I saw CoH).
  2. Would be happy to make you a build for this, but any build I made for a controller would be including purples (and ATOs too). Controllers benefit from high recharge bonuses, and the easiest way to get these is from purples. I would also recommend slotting for either ranged defense or s/l/e defense if you pick scorpion shield from the patron pools. A lot of kins pick the s/l/e route because its best to be in melee range when you use fulcrum shift, however I find that, especially in the late game, most attacks are ranged and so ranged defense is more useful. Also, if you slot for ranged, you'll probably pick a resistance shield (e.g. mind over body) from the epics, which is nice to have layered with the defense.

    Since you're on a kin, damage set bonuses don't really matter, so really anything to boost your recovery, defense, recharge would be a good idea.
  3. Hey folks, gunna be forming an attempt at the green stuff and no deaths and no terminals Keyes badges. No real prerequisites, but of course the more shifts the better. We have one emp to start with, but another emp or pain would not go amiss.

  4. Fantastic job everyone who joined! Sub 10 minute time, awesome! Thank you all so much!
  5. I will be running another RHW attempt at 8pm eastern on Sunday 1st July. Here are the prerequisites:
    1)At least 7 Ultimate inspirations (2 astral merits in Ouroboros)
    2)Hybrid unlocked and equipped, either assault or support trees.
    3)Longbow Core lore pets preferred but not essential.
    Due to previous experiences I feel it necessary to state here that this run involves not using any of the temporary power called Quills of Jocas to destroy any of the wells. Please know this coming into this run.

    RHW attempt

    Since the last attempt had some difficulty forming, I am going to ask before I announce the next attempt which day of the week people would prefer it on. Once a decent number have responded I'll see what the best day is collectively and form one then!
  8. Sorry folks, but due to a lack of interest, I have decided to postpone this, not sure on a date for the next attempt yet. (This is based off of previous runs, which have worked when we had the teams set up previously. And as it is, we have 4 debuffers/buffers, not nearly enough).

    I will (probably) be running trials after the hami raid though, if no-one else is (though they most likely won't be dedicated badge runs).

    Again really sorry, I guess either Saturday is a bad day or most people who need it already have it,
  9. Well in any case, every power set which has a large regen debuff also has a significant resistance debuff (rad, cold, thermal, traps) . . . traps can also get tyrant to do that vomit thing so it interrupts his lightning. So it's not like any of those are bad to have.
  10. This tyrant is designed to be completely invulnerable in that mission. . . how do we know this is the tyrant we are fighting in the trial ?

    EDIT: Scratch that actually, his invulnerability comes from that untouchable ability he has.

    Also what time is that hami raid so I know when to be online?
    You may, although as things stand this is looking fairly unlikely to get off the ground :/, hasn't been much interest so far.

    Hami raid is usually at 9pm eastern, so we will be forming from 9.30 onward.

    Here could be a possible fear set.

    Unrelenting Torment:
    Fear
    Fear/Endurance
    Fear/Recharge/Accuracy
    Recharge/Accuracy
    Fear/Recharge
    Chance for Dark Chasm (Effect fires roughly once per minute, summons a pseudo pet around targeted enemy, which unleashes a PBAoE which deals moderate illusory negative energy damage (i.e. like spectral wounds), as well as terrorizing affected enemies)
    Set Bonuses: 2 - 4% Recovery, 3 - 4% Damage, 4 - 4% fear duration increase, 5 - 10% recharge, 6 - 5% Ranged, 2.5% E/Ne

    That said, I think they look pretty neat. Maybe revise the AB one to something of lesser value that fires more often?
    The reason i didnt is it makes it too similar to numinas convalescence unique, i wanted this to be a larger, but rarer boost, like the one in the defense set. But like i said, I have no clue how balanced these would be, so no doubt tweaks would have to be made.

    Also i figured adding a regeneration bonus to the resistance one made it a little too perfect of a set lol, at least set bonus wise.
  14. Hey everyone, I had some thoughts on some new purple sets which could be introduced for healing/absorb, defense and resistance powers, let me know what you think (obviously any numbers would need balancing). They would work like normal purple sets, i.e. they could drop from any lvl 50+ content as recipes:

    Impenetrable Fortress:
    Resistance
    Resistance/Endurance
    Resistance/Endurance/Recharge
    Endurance/Recharge
    Resistance/Recharge
    Chance for PBAoE -Damage, -ToHit (effect triggers twice per minute, -10% to hit, 15% damage)
    Set bonuses: 2 - 4% recovery, 3 - 3% max HP, 4 - 5% s/l , 2.5% melee, 5 - 2.52% s/l resistance, 6 - 3 points of hold, stun, sleep protection

    Feral Instinct:
    Defense
    Defense/Endurance
    Defense/Endurance/Recharge
    Endurance/Recharge
    Defense/Recharge
    Chance for Feral Frenzy (effect triggers once every two minutes, a boost of 40% damage, recharge and movement speed for 10 seconds)
    Set Bonuses: 2 - 16% regeneration, 3 - 3% max HP, 4 - 4% damage, 5 - 10% recharge, 6 - 5% ranged, 2.5% e/ne

    Faathim's Safeguard:
    Healing/Absorb
    Healing/Absorb/Endurance
    Healing/Absorb/Recharge/Endurance
    Endurance/Recharge
    Heaing/Absorb/Recharge
    Chance for Adrenaline Boost (effect triggers once every two minutes, a boost of 100% regen, 50% recovery, 30% recharge for 20 seconds)
    Set Bonuses: 2 - 3% Max Endurance, 3 - EDIT - 8% heal bonus, 4 - 10% recharge, 5 - 3 points of terrorize, immobilise, confusion protection, 6 - 5% AoE , 2.5% f/c

    Certain these will never get made (or maybe there is something similar in the works? ) but just curious on your opinions.
  15. @Irish.Saint also had the same experience I did (i.e. dc'ing and not being able to get back in on the successful one). Think that bug needs to be fixed fairly sharpish.

Trust me when I say I know a thing or two about sheer frustration with setting up badge runs and things going haywire.

    That 3rd run wasn't going to go off successfully without some quills IMO and was surprised we got away with the regular Hard Way badge. We had a lot of switching and lost a lot "useful" Lore pets IMO; I know I came back with a debuffer but she only had Seers and I saw a few other sets of Seers out there as well. Maybe it could have been done, but it didn't seem like it.

    As for the first run, I can't imagine someone intentionally did it, but who knows. If I was trying to set this up, I can certainly see it being intentional and more than one person doing it right off the bat But that's my paranoia......
    The quills were used just before the wells came back up. I noticed this because at the time I was targeting an olympian guard, and his con went from orange to yellow and then back to orange. So the temp was used and then the well came back almost instantly, meaning a lot of people missed it.
  17. 1: Hybrid unlocked, with assault or support slotted.
    2: At least 7 Ultimate inspirations to be brought along with you to the trial (the +1 level shift ones, 2 astrals in ouroboros)
    3: Longbow core Lore pets
    Also, any team inspirations (particularly accuracy/damage ones) will be appreciated.

    Here's the 'sign-up sheet':
    1)@General Lieutenant - Brute - Kinetic/Shield
    2)@E.Normus - Brute - Super Strength/Invulnerability
    3)@EagleEyez - Blaster - Archery/Mental
    4)@sunnysprite - Controller - Ice/Empathy
    5)@PhantasmKing - Tanker - ?/? (Maxwell blast)
    6)@Fista - Blaster - Energy/Energy
    7)
    8)
    9)
    10)

    Debuffers:
    11)@Crazy Badger - Controller - Plant/Time
    12)@100ProofHero - Corruptor - ?/Cold
    13)@CoffeeChicago - Defender - Kinetics/?

    Thanks to all in advance.

    Forum Cleanup?

    Yeah, I agree.

    Possibly make a thread for announcing badge runs on trials?
  19. I will be forming a MoLGTF attempt on Wednesday at 9pm Eastern, and here is the sign up sheet if you want in , we will need one or two people with holds, a couple of melees, and some ranged damage (and the ability not to die ):

    1)@General Lieutenant - Brute - Kinetic/Shield
    2)@Pattern Walker - Corruptor - Ice/Cold
    3)@Raging Nova - Brute - Super Strength/Invulnerability
    4)@Justaris - Tanker - Dark/Electric
    5)@Peppercat - Mastermind - ?/?
    6)@sunnysprite - Scrapper - Staff/Willpower
    7)@CoffeeChicago - Dominator - Earth/Fire?
    8)

    See you there
    P.S. bringing EoEs for the Hami bit would be very helpful.

    If you rather have more debuff, I can bring my Ill/Rad that has everything except Longbow (she has Warworks instead).

    @Alpha XBS
    Madame Distress - Ill/Rad Controller
    Or
    Thunder Light - PB
    Warworks are fine, they have some - regen, and they do good dps. More debuff is all i can fit in now, so your ill/rad would be great. See you there

    If needed, I can always run my own. Might be easier, since I want to run it with my Tank that is a badger. Once I do that, I'll be fine bringing in my Time Controller for buff/debuff.
    8pm eastern as in the title, forgot about hami though . . . we can do one at 8pm, then another after hami if needed.

    GL on Tuesday. Tough badge to do, but we have the people to get it done.
    Whether we succeed or not, I will post another thread for Saturday at 8pm doing this same thing, bringing my rad/sonic if we do succeed. You are of course welcome to join then, or now if you can make it (i'll post the thread after these runs on Tuesday).

    Good luck on the run!
    In any case, the successful runs have all incorporated a lot of - regen powers, and, although I haven't checked the numbers (and for the sake of sanity, most likely won't ), they seem to help. And i believe the player debuff resistance cap is 95% . . whether this applies to tyrant too would determine whether those debuffs are working or not. Let's hope they do something . . if not, MOAR BLASTORS =D
