Looks at post above, ummmm pretty much the same although replace Horde with EVIL - just as active and just as friendly .

Already know the other SG which will be posting shortly... Either way we get to say hi as in coalition with these guys and can vouch and say they nice bunch.

If have any questions please don't hesitate to ask here or shout on our forums (www.city-of-evil.com). Have fun regardless of which SG you choose.

I suppose it will depend on how you will play e.g. solo'ing or teaming. If you are teaming lots then it shouldn't make to much of a difference what AT you want. If soloing then I suggest a brute or a stalker. Energy has massive burst damage and so would do very well soloing as you won't have lots of mobs to have to kill (and thus not really need AoE's).

Wow its going to be a reunion lol. We have to try track down others such as HD and Aeonic and get them to reactivate. Its good to see you again matey, I am sure others will be just as happy. I guess I better start getting the bets going with how long you stick around .

Things going really well at the moment. Lots of activity and TF's going. Looks like we be trying to resurrect our hero sg NICE and even better news that a few ex Evil'ers (Nugget and shortly Sirius Darkstar) will be coming back to the game.

Will have to sort out some events for the fast approaching Easter weekend. I know there is an EU meet up at the same time and I am hoping all being well that I will poke my head in to say hi.

Oh and just incase you missed it Knight Stalker has started up union pvp again at pocket D on Mondays @ 20:00. Was great fun and good to see such good turn out. Not sure how much I like being hunted by my lot, Kimmy I am looking at you lol.

If any of you lot fancy a mini arena rumble we should be game. Maybe get a three way with going with the Horde as well .

Your welcome to take on the EVIL base in a raid . 6 heroes vs 16 villains sounds fair to me.

About bloody time .

Hopefully you get your members to use it as quite nice. Make sure you post some funnies so I can have a laugh and also nick them for myself .

Been a while since posted but that's more down to my laziness. We still busy as ever

For those that may have missed it we will be having a sg meeting this Sunday 9th March @ 19:00. Will be going over general things as well as discussing a few proposals.

As if you need any more incentive to turn up every attendee will automatically be entered into Doc Devious' Description Derby which is a background competition. The best background chosen by Doc will get an easy 5 mil inf with second place getting 1 mil (think I write a story involving pirates ).

Could I also remind people that I will be tidying up the EVIL chat channel so please make sure you have it added to alts etc so you don't miss out on any chat/announcements (one lucky person got a free purple the other nite as the player didnt need it).

You may also notice lots of Rogues running around such as Rogue Chaos. Its a little pet project we have got on the go (can see all the details on our forums www.city-of-evil.com).

Also a big curses to the hero sg that has dislodged us as the number 1 sg in prestige. It had to happen eventually with damn IO's being so expensive but we still number 1 in many other things such as dying and running away in pvp battles .

Lastly we are recruiting although don't expect to see it in broadcast. If want to join us give us a shout on our forums or in game. Can send a global tell to myself @Max Powerz or if I am not about to any of the following @Kimmy, @Hailstorm, @Royal Pain, @Prince who should all be able to sort out an invite or answer any questions (we are a friendly bunch and promise not to bite too hard).

I think Vindicate need to earn a little bit more prestige before we can do base raids lol.

[/ QUOTE ]

How much prestige we need to get the base to a fair decent standard for a base raid?

[/ QUOTE ]

Its the players that matter most .

Don't take too much to get the minimum requirements for a base.

and here come the excuses :-p

is no one willing to challange the Super Union to a base raid?

[/ QUOTE ]

You want people to defend your base or do you want to attack? Its been awhile but im sure can sort out some arena/zone/base pvp.

Yeah was good fun. Was also nice to see a few new people about and everyone just having a laugh.

Is it a hero sg or villain sg you are after? There are not to many that concentrate solely on pvp.

Hero wise there are a few that do a lot of pvp but not sure of the requirements to get in. Off top of my head you have vindicate and retribution. Super union used to do a lot but wouldn't class them as a pvp group (they dabble in it).

Villain side is a similar story. You have groups that tend to do a lot of pvp but not created solely for it. You have got EVIL, Fatality (villain version of Vindicate), Horde, the gathering and Ultimate Darkness.

There is a probably a couple more which escaped me. However I won't say too much as could be classed as slightly biased lol.

[/ QUOTE ]

The Super Union has had quite a few base raids and have won all of them I believe. The list of defeated SG's include Art of War, E.V.I.L, The Horde. Think we've had about 3 other's but can't remember which SG's they were against.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am very well aware of what SU have done in the past. So you would class yourself as a pvp sg right now then? In that case add Violators, NPA, Order of reckoning and any of other sg that has pvp'd before.

It would be a very short sticky lol. I know on some villain recruitment thread details were mentioned with what the sg's were into such as pvp and taskforces.

So you're basically saying that it owns in pvp against stuff which isn't very good.

That means my Claws/SR Scrapper needs to go on the list. I solo'd 8 nubs in BB at the same time with that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not at all! I just don't expect to be able to defeat everything put in front of me. For example Blasters tend to have a big advantage against doms so I would expect to lose (no matter my build). Against a tank, scrapper, corruptor etc I have a much better chance (obviously some sets will prove bothersome).

For someone thats new to pvp heroe wise I would recommend:
Scrappers - broadsword/regen or spines/regen scrappers
Tankers - ice/energy or superstrength/will power tanks

Villains:
Stalkers are quite handy and easy to get a grip with. Anything like energy/regen, energy/SR, energy/nin (energy is very popular due to massive burst damage and stuns).

Corruptors:
Ice/thermal
Fire/thermal
Sonic/thermal

Ice/Rad
Fire/Rad
Sonic/Rad
Ice/Cold

Masterminds:
Necro/Poison
Robotics/Forcefield

You tend to find you can enjoy most toons but the ones mentioned here are quite user friendly. I think I have to agree to the list of suggestions by SinghMC of archtypes that can function very well.

Anyway if you ever have any questions to do with PvP there is a wealth of experience on these boards. You might not have everyone agreeing with each other but remember the most important thing is that you are having fun.

I PvP'd with my fire/psy perma dom build before I respeced it into a PvE build. It was fairly [censored] in PvP tbh.

[/ QUOTE ]

It doesn't surprise me knowing the people you fight against. Did you fight against any villains or toons that you stand a chance at e.g. not a fire/ice blapper of some kind? I have been quite enjoying my flavour of the year plant/psi lol.

Lol at the Ice/Kin, homages to Phil FTW!

Also Psy Doms suck in PvP, if anything I'd switch it to /Thorns. Aim ftw.



Total Inertia > all

[/ QUOTE ]

Depends on type of Pvp and who you fighting. You noticed that people are starting to pick up on psy (I have noticed a lot more about). I am sure my Psi dom would take down a thorn dom. It might lack the damage and aim but the -recharge really does hurt your opponent.

[/ QUOTE ]


Phil just said in response: hmm oh you slow recharge . . jack go pwn him . .oh wait heres shiver, chilblain, BoI

oh you want more . . heres some ice slick.


Basically he says that slows from Ice Primary would more than counter the slows from psi

[/ QUOTE ]

Trying not to go too off topic but Phil was talking about secondaries as in thorns over psy (stating psy sucks which is blatantly not the case). I would rather stack even more -recharge having ice/psi over say ice/thorns.

Also to get Drain Psyche perma would need massive investment and so would be out of most peoples budgets. However with IO's you can get a decent return out of it thus having it up and ready much quicker then every 120 seconds. It defintely has a very noticable effect on toons that are endurance heavy or benefit from lots of regen (always makes me chuckle decimating a willpower toons regen/recovery making them cry).

lots of good pvp again tonight. Seems like pvp is kicking off again on onion big style

[/ QUOTE ]

Is it a coincidence that I get ganked and more villains turn up? Hmmmmm .

Lol thats freaky. Just the other week was thinking about ya (going through old posts on our website). If don't find anything suitable you are more then welcome to rejoin us in EVIL. I catch you in game and have a chat, welcome back to CoX .

I have been wanting to do some for an age (especially a villain one). If you want to hold any on union I should be able to get a team together.

Good to see you back, you eventually get the hang of it .

I need to update our EVIL guide so will be writing about all that malarky. If you have any questions just give us a shout (its quite a lot to take in).

Another piece of good news is that have managed to get a number of coalitions to all join with each other creating one super coalition. Hopefully this be the start of something beautiful and will improve supergroup life for all members.

Welcome .

I can only think of a couple that would meet how many people you expect to be on prime time. It seems a lot more fragmentated (player base is spreadout over).

I will look you up in game and have a chat and try answer any questions you might have.

jjust to make max feel a lil better thought id say its not all his fault the super coalitions taking so long to sort out i was supoed to be helping him and basicly ive dun buger all so far about it lol

as for the break free dispenser have you tested it yet to see if co members can use it, i know we can use each others normal ones before that final upgrade coz it would be a handy resource for everybody in the co if it dose

[/ QUOTE ]

That never occurred to me, I best get someone on duty charging for the privilege. I would imagine you would be able to but will have to test it sometime to be sure (preys for a bug that enables all the guns to shoot intruders ).

Been awhile since made any updates. Sadly another member has left the game (Shadow Crown). We wish him well, he has made a post in the union hero section if you want to say anything to him.

It has only taken 2 years but we have finally got the last upgrade in the hospital which grants access to break free inspirations (100,000,000 healing in sg mode I believe).

Can't really think of too many other things that have happened. Its really been business as usual. I really have to sort out the coalitions as we shall be setting up one super coalition where everyone is once again in coalition which each other so hopefully will result in more teams and less one way conversations .

I have been having a lot of fun on my dom and have finally respec'd her so now in the process of IO'ing up. It is typical now that my computer seems to be playing up and I am contemplating formating the whole thing to get rid of the rubbish that is on it. As such not sure if will be about for the Wednesday RSF.
