Well, at least we all know what colour my knickers are now.

Nice job, Faith! On the video, I mean.

Yes and I refer to the game as Coh even though I have both. I have a Spines/SR on the villains game, but as he'd put "h" I thought I'd clarify before starting some long goop that would be not much use to him.

Spines\SR Scrapper or Spines\SR stalker?

Very nice Scarlet. Now I must kill you and suck out your talent.

*cries*

I am jsut saying in pvp it doesn't have stealth.

[ QUOTE ]
btw guys I know for a fact that SS doesn't get stealth at all, jsut that in PvE enemy Ai doesn't get enough time to react.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, then.

Just one question, Demon: Are you on crack?

This is me, hanging out in IP, using cloak + SS. Note, I am dancing, I am not blurring through the screen at one meeelleon miles per hour. Do you like my friend?

This is me, five seconds later, having turned off Superspeed, because it has no stealth element - fact! Now my friend is dancing too!

Ouch! He danced me, right in the head!

Superspeed has a stealth element, even when standing still. Superjump, does not.

Yeah, there's nothing like that on Union...

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, last night on Union was the same. From about 11-2am. About 8-10 villains (mainly stalkers), 8-10 heroes, was good fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it was. At one point, early on, it was about nine-to-four in favour of the heroes, which led to a couple of villains leaving, because if you didn't have hide, you lost your hide, but some of the heroes were just waiting for the 6k bounty, so they could pick up their shiny and then swap sides.

Broadcast was combative, but fun and I managed to escape a few hours of pvp with zero debt, despite faceplanting three times. Which is nice.

The fight was still going on after I had to leave too - it was nice to see it busy.

Two spots now, as I'm going to have to drop out. Sorry folks. Good luck!

[ QUOTE ]
Jaq as it is on the union heroes board I didnt think I need to mention it but I forgot about how special you are

So for all the special people this is on union

[/ QUOTE ]

I was confused, because I'm stupid.

If you need a stupid hero on your team, I'll be there.

*cries*

Is this Bunion or Deviant?

With the base changes coming up to, after people told them small groups couldn't get any shiny objects and the changes to prestige...

Be afraid!

Just seen this on the american boards. Its over a week old so appologies if its been posted elsewhere already.

[ QUOTE ]

Debt in PvP: We are going to remove debt completely if you are killed by a Player, and give you porportional debt (no debt for damage done by a player, but debt for damage done by an NPC) if the killing blow is landed by an NPC. This is the "best of both worlds" scenario. It has the 0 debt of the Pre-I7 methodology (getting killed by a Player) and the partial debt of the Post-I7 methodology (when you get killed by an NPC).

Spines is more AoE based, which is why imo it's not so great for Stalkers, but hey, my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

spines got a pbaoe and 2 cones both bein very good damage compared to most cones..ninja blade has 2 cones and 1 pbaoe..if people mention ninja blade I never hear people talk about aoe *shrug*

[/ QUOTE ]

Wrong, Ninja blade doesn't have a PbAOE power, it doesn't get lotus drops like katana.

Spines main problem as mentioned in the thread is it starts of very slow, after 26 the spines set really kicks off.

Suprised no one has mentioned impale animation time as a problem with spines, but hey its an uber range attack, so people forget

Oh yeah on another note about spines, apparently its fotm, so if you play it you have no skill its all the spines. /sarcasm

[/ QUOTE ]

Spines is my opener from in hide, so the animation time can be extended to 25 minutes if the Devs want.

That would be fun, actually. You leave the zone, jet off to Atlas to do some strutting about with your 50 and some time later a set of flying spines appear from the train station, arrow past the base portal and SQUICK! Right in the back.

I had the Spine Burst AoE and Freespecced out of it, because it very, very rarely landed a critical out of hide.

I logged on with Ghostlight to find it gone too.

I have a two-by-four to hand, but it shall be out of reach soon, as I'll be inserting it into Positron's rabbit hole.

Gratz, now go realised how pants the epics are

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't say that!

I love my Warshade. <*sobs*>

[ QUOTE ]

And he knows when we reach the last mission how?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is why you're the genius.

Meanwhile, today is fine. Tomorrow, I'd probably have to run at about 10pm BST, but anything up to then is fine.

Pick Your Target Carefully
One I had to give applause to. A ninja mastermind. Who'd named all his minions with his hero name. and was wearing the same costume (more or less) as one of his minions. 7 targets. All more or less the same from normal ranged combat distances. All fast-moving. Can be got around if you know what to look for and look carefully, but sometimes in the zone, you just don't have time for slow and careful.

Kudos, I liked that idea...

[/ QUOTE ]

But... his name would be orange and his minions would be blue/white whatever.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered...
I'm in Bloody Bay and I've been following a Troller/Tank duo, killing each a couple of times, when the Tank comes on broadcast, saying "I'm doing the meteor mission, please don't kill me." Having tried the firebase with an empathy defender, I have some, umm, empathy for his situation, so I broadcast, "Ok."

So I find which fire base they're using and I stand around, watching the pair, spamming /whoall in case anyone new appears.

One /whoall shows a new hero - a blaster who I've met before and has +perception, can fly, (I can't), and has flaming arrows that knock hide down for ages. Basically, this blaster is a bit challenging.

So I'm about to bounce off and go look for [blaster], when the Troller, who I'm four feet from, goes into the Recall Friend animation. No prizes for guessing who appears from the ether, right in front of my face.

Delivery, for Ms Stalker!

[ QUOTE ]
Good idea, kk now i have to get me a respec and fit it in, what you say for sirens call, acrobatics, or drop them and get them a later leval, so i can get stealth?

[/ QUOTE ]

Go and do the patrol missions in BB and Sirens. You'l get two temp stealth powers, that last 30 minutes each. If you're using them to switch on before a move and after for escaping, you won't burn the half hour too quickly.

Just to continue gilding the lily, you can add me to the team, making it 10 heroes out of a possible eight.

I'll loiter at the required time and then go do something else if there's no room for me.

It'll probably be Ghostlight - lvl 12 elec/nrg Blaster.

[/ QUOTE ]

I love my spines stalker, but it is Impale... AS... no, that's it.

To qualify the above though, I'm still level 26, so I have an unslotted Ripper, though I understand, once slotted, the power is the stripy-insects leg-benders.

The Bait
One of my personal favourites. I'm squishy, my slows are annoying so people want to take me down, I have no self heal. How do I make myself useful? Cannon fodder

Nothing better than getting that scrapper to come chasing after me and running round the corner into a massacre. Why aren't these used more as setting up sacrificial lambs seems under utilised(though the hospital rez makes people less likely to risk themselves nowadays, way to make zones more 'fun' Cryptic)

[/ QUOTE ]

My favourite bait was a Troller strolling through BB, trying to look nonchalant on the Meteor mission, with four stealthed/invised level 50s flying behind.

Sadly, my SR has +perception, but I'm sure a mess awaited for those who couldn't see she was bait.

[ QUOTE ]

dont forget that SS have a built in stealth as well.. not that it matters much when the CM's start to fly about :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Not that it matters at all, in PvP, where SS has no stealth.

[ QUOTE ]
Don't you guys think it has WAY too less of powers in the early levels?

It's just Build Up, AS, Lunge, Lunge, Lunge, Lunge, Lunge...

Placate!!

AS.

Lunge, Lunge, Lunge, Lunge...

All the way till 18.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly. Then at 18 I took impale and now I'm built purely around AS and Impale, with a bit of Ripper thrown in if I'm in Sirens.

Ooh, you forgot throwing knives/hypodermic's/bad language... whatever the other inherrents are.

My favourite was a Peacebringer who was banging on in Sirens broadcast about how they hadn't died in an hour and, when called on it, steadfastly refused to admit that I'd taken them down.

Finally, I returned to base, scrolled my message window back to the relevant point, took a screenie of the "You have defeated X" message, uploaded and then posted the link back over broadcast.

Random Hero : "Well, you can't argue with that."
Peacebringer : [deathly silence]
