OMG was about to say thats not till next week! Hmmmm time is flying, im sure I be able to round up aload of us for some more fighting.

Ninja Edit - Doh its my xmas party tonight. You can tell im organised lol. Have a good one all.

When you next on Qima give me a shout on my global @Max Powerz and I get you in our sg .

Yeah I think everyone enjoyed it. It didnt look good early on though as the improved stability patch showed no signs of working. Constant mass dcing put afew off and they called it a night. However, I decided it must be a duff mission and we did a different one and our most our dcing problems stopped.

Had lots of fun and was great to have so much banter even if most of it was taking the mick out of me.

Will be starting to do this on a much more regular basis like before.

Also have given up heart on those that have been with us for a long while and will be moving those that have been inactive (regardless of rank and prestige) out of the supergroup.

Oh and wont be on till abit later tonight as going to have to pop to some shops after work and get some pressies.

Samaj, I'd advise you play against Blindfaith, Mellon Orasi or Meela. Really don't need hide to do well as a Stalker.

Where can I find those players? I guess Union, damn that Im on defiant..

[/ QUOTE ]

It wouldn't take long at all to switch and to get a toon to 30 so you could see for yourself.

If you hadn't guessed its dead now .

Well there is a team on the go at the moment. Was in it but losing map connection again .

I think I agree with that. Very unforgiving, challenging and frustrating but also very rewarding.

You're talking about PvP but you could just as easily be describing the AT full stop.

Welcome back flith!

Nah in PvE they rock. They make such a difference to the team I fail to understand why they struggle to get teams (I know a lot of doms that have found this).

I think if more people see doms doing well in pvp then people maybe more inclined to create one. Its just that rightly or wrongly most people see doms as very weak in PvP and it puts them off creating one.

So want to kill BT - got home in record time only to find the internet was out of order (well dead dead slow) .

I had a feeling you might. Dont normally get back till around 6 (damn Friday traffic) but will do my best as purposely ignored training room for spoilers etc so shall all be a surprise for me.

One of my favourite tactics was to run and hide amongst all the MM pets .

What did shock me was lack of banter on the broadcast channel. I suppose everyone was to busy as wasnt much time to just stand there doing nothing.

Well how fun was that? Over 5 hours of lovely pvp . At one stage it looked like EVIL vs Freaks with Super Union joining in at the end when most of the villains had gone. Still managed to pull a decent enough team at the end to keep the heroes on there toes. Nice work all, was a very enjoyable nite.

I might tolerate my doms kill/death ratios of 0/25 but I just get fed up at the "HAHA! U SUK" messages on top of that..

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah I had one guy say I sucked because I'm unable to break the game mechanics to increase my damage, a regen as well. After spanking him a load of times he moaned that I just run away (ie. dont stand toe to toe where he can 2 shot me).
One thing I like about doms and pvp is it gives you a chance to develop new strategies, there isnt anyone going "you need powers x, y, and z to pwn on a dom".

Thats when having easier pvp toons available comes in handy. Sometimes you know there is nothing you can do and only option is to give up or switch to a more suitable toon to give them a better challenge. The 2nd option is the one I normally go for and is very satisfying. Those that are complaining etc soon move on when they haven't got the easy kills to get.

Not posted but you know that I am more than likely to be around if need any help (thermal corruptor with nukes and shivans).

I would make sure that all particpants have atleast some shivans and plenty of time to spare.

Ahhh reverse psychology, I like it .

Hopefully will be bringing even more - I cant wait for the bloodbath to begin. Them heros wont know what hit them .

Team pvp I can be a big nuisance. Def need a few support characters such as a thermal corruptor about. Normally its letting the opposition come to us and its a matter of picking off the targets. Domination builds up in no time if can survive the first attack (i normally venture out and build up domination ready for such encounter). You have to be very wary of blasters though (won most of this battles so then faced defiance based suicide blasters taking out key targets) and make sure if there is an empath you take it out ASAP as will be nullifying most your holds etc.

My favourite has been taking down an energy/elec brute which has 40% resistance to my attacks. To say he was surprised at going down to me (in front of an audience which made it even better as they were show it was going to be a walkover) was an understatement. This was a no insp fight in warburg where you have access to afew more control powers which make you more rounded then say Sirens Call. However can still do well in Sirens if last long enough to get domination up - what you need is a team that knows what it is doing. Bah all this talk of pvping making me want to play the damn game and stuck at work .

I think I agree with that. Very unforgiving, challenging and frustrating but also very rewarding. You feel you earnt every kill and you constantly on the edge. One wrong move tends to spell death. In conclusion, very squishy and hard to master and thus seem to be very rare.

Well it can do well (taken down brutes, corruptors, blasters, scrappers etc but not many tanks so not same league as Bil) but with the use of inspirations then thats when they start to seriously struggle (well I do).

Damn it, beated to the punch .

As Death said, theres afew in the recruitment corner you can look at. I too would promote my own supergroup E.V.I.L which would fit your needs (along with the Violators). If you fancy giving us a try just give me a shout/email.

Cauterize would be nice but something has to go to make room for other powers (like GI for stalkers, tpfoe for base campers etc). Even without that heal I think the thermal buffs and area heal on a brute vs scrapper shouldnt result in such a clear victory.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm I would have thought cautarize was one of the almost essential ones to take (would drop fire shield or something similar as the buff pales in its usefulness when compared). I would imagine that with it the brute would be in a much favourable position. Was the Brute over level 30 and on fresh single orgins?

I be happy to put forward my brute or corruptor to show that a 2 on 1 situation is not a walkover for a scrapper.

[ QUOTE ]
Does that get the T0ughGuy690 stamp of approval?

[/ QUOTE ]

Meh forget about that, I reckon it meets Maxy's stamp of approval which is far more important .

Have yourself an evil cookie .

I post a little piccy later then. Looks funky and very sci-fi.

Think your thoughts may be slightly wrong. The game seems to be doing alright with us having quite abit of fresh blood in the sg. Been nice and busy of late with quite abit of pvp, badging, mishing and superteaming. I cant empathise how much fun this superteam is and I hope that is the answer to a lot of the staleness that is about. Was such a laugh and alot of people commented that it was the best team they have been in before.

It is sad to see Dr Death go but I have my suspicions he be back. I look at it from my perspective and see the supergroup as my little baby. I reckon it will call to him and he show his face now and again. Not sure what his plans are but I be having a chat with him and finding out. I will also be wanting to sort out some sort of SUPER RUMBLE. Obviously I would like the opportunity to finally show ourselves in his base in a raid but I think that is one of the problems. They are still bugged and kept kicking him out from his planned raid. Kind of the straw that broke the camels back ... whats the point of being the best (in your own opinion) and not being able to do any of the things you want to due to bugs which should have been fixed months and months ago. These things were promised at the beginning and have been to date an almost complete failure.

So instead of raiding the Violators (which I would imagine would be a massacre) hopefully we can sort out a mass battle in the arena involving other villain supergroups (or the very least just ourselves).

You may also notice the base appears trashed (well decorations everywhere). I have been doing some major upgrading and have installed an AES (Autonomous Expert System) which triples our control. I have also installed another turbine generator which now gives us plenty of power. I have resisted putting in lots more defences because got to pay rent sometime this week and just got enough to pay it (600k).

Activities this week:

Obviously we be running the superteam when enough people our about. It had a great start with 3 teams on the go. It be a good idea to check the corruptor section with the super team thread regulary to keep uptodate with the latest ongoings.

I think Bloodthirster wanted to do the St Martial TF tonight around 9ish.

Thursday is the roleplaying pvp event in sirens call which should be good fun. Hopefully get a fairly varied team to show everyone E.V.I.L. has the best mercenaries and villains.
