Landlubber

Umm, we meant 3pm UK time, and I'm logging in as I type this...

Oh well, we'll see who's there

Well, Friday 7PM has come and gone... I guess that makes Saturday 3PM our best bet. Who's left that's actually still interested, anyway?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll give it another try tomorrow (saturday) at 3pm. I also exchanged a few words with Princess Sazzy ingame, so I'm confident that we'll get enough folks together this time

Okay then, two possibilities here, according to the replies:

1) Friday (25th) evening - 7pm UK time (suggestion)

or

2) Saturday (26th) afternoon - 3pm UK time (since PrincessSazzy is only available until 6pm).


Post here which would suit you best. In any case, I'll be around tomorrow evening around that time, just send me a whisper (@Ailar) and we'll see if we can get it going

I still need to do 1st respec with my lev 30 stalker after failing it last weekend. Thurs or Fri evening or Sat day (-6pm) is good for me.

You're right Landlubber, everyone above 33 will be auto-exemplared down to that level making the enemies around their level. The lower levels can be LK'd and my alt did the respec quite easily with one level 26 and the rest of the team auto exemplared to 33 but it's harder if there are a lot of mixed levels.

That's what I wanted to hear

So how does friday evening sound then?

(edit): Aerys, your name suddenly rang a bell... didn't we just kill the Ghost of the Scrapyard together two hours ago?

I'd haven't done any of the Respec's yet and don't particularly need a respec, but I'd still like to do them one day just for the badges. My main is 39, so if I'm not mistaken that means I could do the first two - but I know my g/f would like to tag along as well, and since she's lvl27 I guess we could only do the first one.

If I know it a day or two in advance, most evenings are fine with me. I'd still suggest friday or saturday though - I don't fancy running a SF until late at night when I have to get up for work at 6:30am the next morning


Noob question on respec SF's:

Would level difference be a big problem? Since you can do any of them, I assume you're outside the lvl range for respec #1 as well - correct me if I'm wrong, but that means we'd both be auto-exemped to 33, yes? So what determines the SF's level then? Would a 27 have a hard time doing the SF with at least two 33's (or whatever it is)?

Sounds interesting - I'll join the channel the next time I'm online on Defiant

Well, seeing as how my new Thug/Dark MM is only level 8 so far, I can't comment on efficiency yet, but as for the coolness factor:

my g/f and me made a matching pair of Thug MMs (she's Thug/Poison), we both have Dual Wield, and when I drop down Tar Patch on a spawn and we and our henchies all open fire at the now mired enemies, it's like a scene straight out of a Tarantino movie [img]/uk/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I won a prize!! [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yay me... I think... [img]/uk/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]


Thanks to the organisors, was fun [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Very nicely done - congrats [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Have you thought about submitting it to Paragon City Comics yet?

My villain Penny Pink would fancy this badge as well

I just don't think I can make it tomorrow (and if I can, then not on time and not for long), but any subsequent nights should be okay.

Obviously, he just teamed up with someone hunting hellfrosts/doing the Soul Taker mission, without SK'ing, so he didn't get any exp...

Anybody could do that - it's just a matter of having friends willing to give you a free ride.

Well yes, I realize that I just wonder what the point is, that's all - although I guess "Look, I'm level 3 and already have the Demonic accolade" is a nice goal in itself.

That actually looks feasible. As a Stalker, he could mostly move through even the higher-level zones with impunity and get all the exploration and history badges, and some of these come with gladiators...

Just that one accomplishment badge (either Agent of Discord or Soul Taker (*), both available in Sharkhead Isle if memory serves) and the achievement badge that looks like Coldhearted (250 Hellfrosts or Hordelings - even my lvl35 doesn't have that yet!) are a bit crazy for a level 3

(edit): it's Soul Taker, I just noticed the Accolade, which is Demonic (and also explains why he got Coldhearted at the same time)

On the other hand, if you take just an eye aura (well, after you get your aura) in a reddish/orange color, together with CoD it looks extra spoooooooookyyyyy

Since I can't see that Lich anywhere, might as well pick one of the Longbows and assume that one pushed him off the roof

I tried oh so VERY hard.. I really did..

I'm sorry!

Wow, that's a... very photorealistic painting. Great style

I've taken AS mainly because it's a very quickly recharging knockdown attack - it helps a lot when taking on bosses. As long as they're lying on the floor they can't hit you. It's one of my favorite attack moves

Fury and Domination are different concepts, even though they look similar.

Domination is a skill that can be used when your Domination bar is full, that will last a specific time (after which you'll have to fill the bar again), and that will give you a bonus to your skills.

By contrast, Fury is always "on" (which is why you couldn't drag it to your power bar - skills which show an A when you try that can't be toggled but are always Active).
What Fury does is give a you bonus to your damage on all attacks (not just the Brute attacks, also power pool stuff like Air Superiority). The more you fill your Fury bar, the higher your damage bonus will be. If your Fury is at 0, you'll do only the base damage. I don't have the exact numbers handy, but I think a full Fury bar amounts to about 200% dmg bonus or more (i.e. triple damage) from what I've seen on my Brute.

And yes, Fury goes down MUCH quicker than Domination, but it also fills up faster

Jeez! You villains are useless :P how we ever meant to beat those heroes, if you can't even stand in a spot for a photo -_-. guessing people where with Mongoose on Caleb Raid. Will have to do it another time so startgiving me suggestion on when you are free... or does no-one like me for some strange reason ? :P

Ended up with like 10 of us if you must check Click Here


[/ QUOTE ]

Well, at least the Countess and me are on it

As for suggestions - would tomorrow be too short notice? Because I'll be away from next wednesday for 6 days, so if you repeat it next weekend, I'll miss it

If I can attend (I'll be away for a week or so starting next wednesday), I'll certainly be there

lots of possibilities really. There's the whole undead thing (Werewolves/Vampires), as well as all sorts of ghosts and spirits and other spooky stuff.

You're right of course. I stand corrected

Wow two trolls in one thread

Bots look funky as they are, mind I wouldn't mind if I could make them all look the same, make my minions look like minions or something. And I would love if the could be made less humanoid... Robot 5? Lord Torg? Hell I just want Gabber Robots

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd like to have a set of Arachnobots

Would be nice if we could get a few options for the skin of our bots to choose from (i.e. shouldn't make any difference in performance, it would just affect the look of them).

But admittedly, that wouldn't be fair to all other types of Masterminds (there's dozens of possibilities for robots, but how many different looks for Ninjas can you think of?), so I can see why this wouldn't be implemented.

[/ QUOTE ]

Old master with white hair, then theres the kind of ninjas you get in the water margin, and armored Samuri, there are loads!

[/ QUOTE ]

Weeeell...

Technically, that old white haired dude is Chinese (Shaolin) and Samurai, while Japanese, historically speaking are just about the exact opposite of Ninja

But okay, let's say they all fall under the heading of oriental martial arts. Now you just have to find one sub-type for each other category of MM henchmen, for each type of robot you can think of. That's actually an interesting challenge, so let's see:

Zombies/Undead:
lots of possibilities really. There's the whole undead thing (Werewolves/Vampires), as well as all sorts of ghosts and spirits and other spooky stuff.

Soldiers:
a bit more difficult... sure, you could give them different uniforms, but would that really give each group a distinctive look and personality? Unless you take a historical approach - say, various kinds of soldiers from different ages (Knights, American Civil War Soldiers, modern soldiers, maybe even some futuristic types). But it would be kinda hard to argue that they are all equally powerful.

Gangster/Mobster types (they'll be new with I7):
hmm... separating them by nationality seems the obvious way to go. You get the archetypical italian Mafiosi, maybe some irish Gansters (apologies to any Irish folks here, they just come to mind because they were bitter rivals to the Mafia in the 20s and 30s), what else would there be that's suitably distinctive and historically well-known?

Might be kinda funny to see what people can come up with, I'm sure I've forgotten lots in each category

Hello, looking for a little help getting some badges, ideally looking for a mid teen villain with the first Valentines mission annd a kind heart, or an appreciation of shiny badges, details are here

[/ QUOTE ]

Forgive what may be a noob question, but can't you get all these badges through normal game-play as well? I can understand organizing a hunt for them when you know there's a mission that spawns the required mobs (and I lurve shiny badges too ), but I just want to confirm my understanding that these aren't specific to the Valentine's Day event.

Reason I'm asking is that I won't have the time to specifically hunt for them before those missions go away (I read that happens on the 22nd - true?)
