I sincerely doubt if I can be in it this evening, mate.

Funny you must have a clone then who turned up and helped complete the recluse strike force as a supergroup. A very well done to all involved, so many epic battles at the end. It may have not been fast (think took just over 4 hours) but was so worth it. Let the RSF farming commence .

I know what you mean but do the higher end empowerment stations have afew more buff options?

Also is it still possible to stack them now if you have multiple stations (you can see how much attention I paid to empowerment stations)?

Dont forget its our attempt at the Recluse Strike Force tonight - so get them shivans .

Would also like to welcome some of our newest recruits. For some reason people are wanting to join us and who am I to say no. As such those that have been inactive for awhile (over two weeks) we probably find themselves temporary kicked - when they are back on we try and get them back into the supergroup or offer them a home in our alt sg.

Have to say had a very busy weekend which meant lots of prestige and fun had by all. The Respec and St Martial TF was completed (eventually) after several deaths at the end. I am now concentrating on getting them cursed accolades for my alts so if anyones got the strike breaker mish give me a shout!

Nice one

Think it just be weekend run for me - I know our sg is trying to do one this coming monday.

Aye I will set my alarm for 10 on a sunday, my favourite lie in day

No, i wouldnt be that noobish. However, the more the better. Just means aint reliant on Frigid to attend

The Raid against the Horde was ok - was doing well until a mass dc and then was quite disorganised and lost the momentum we had. We had destoryed there rez rings but were totally screwed after the mass dc. The Horde then base camped which made picking us off very easy. However at least we were given the chance to give them a taste of there own medicine .

Was very happy with the turnout and how much effort we put into being semi organised e.g. getting shivans etc. The more raids we do the better we get as everyone will have an understanding of what is needed/expected.

From the raid I think I will have to edit our base slightly. Dont think I be changing our colour scheme to much. Dont know how the Horde can stand going in there own base, my eyes hurt!

Also we shall be attempting a supergroup Recluse Strike Force this coming Monday (4th September) probably 6 ish. I think we have a good chance of completing this as a sg as we seem to have all the components needed except vengance.

Is that true? I'd been told by several people that the cost of your current plot isn't deducted from the cost of the new one...

[/ QUOTE ]

It is true! You just pay the difference between the two.

Couldnt make my mind up so decided not to decide .

I do afew test builds on the test server when got my dom a little bit higher so can make a proper decision.

Anyway thought I write one of them brief updates I do:

Base wise not changed to much of late - Ive been allowing (im sure i was hypnotised) the likes of Humanoid Doom and Lord Torment to have a play in our base so the lighting and decorative items may have changed abit. One of our members of the supergroup kindly sorted out the enhancement storage so each box houses the appropriate enhancement (so please dont mix them up).

Im happy to say Blackbone is back on villains again so you probably notice afew changes to our proper forums as he is our web guru. Ive got the tough job of thinking up ideas and then giving him the easy part of implementing them .

Those that read the boards may have read somewhere (cant think for the life of me where I would write such slander) that we dont have much talent in EVIL. Well we've got afew things going on (cant say to much at this stage as it is early doors) but one of the little projects in development is our very own EVIL soundtrack album .

We have also recently passed another mile stone in EVIL's development - we have now amassed over 20 million in prestige which has now bought us to the dizzy heights of 4th in the prestige charts and 1st in the unofficial whose best charts. Go EVIL! So just a quick grrrrr rats to everyones hard work (long may it continue).

EVIL Wednesdays are still going very strong and most of us are now around level 19 ish (give and take afew). I dont think I be on for too long this coming one as off snowboarding at Xscape. The following day is our planned base raid against the Horde so stock up on them inspirations and temp powers.

Its been quite a good week in all then. Had lots of pvp and quite afew little moments that brought a smile to my face. Late one night came across a proper stalker hunter in warburg who was equipped with tactics and so could see and hunt me. Had a huge smile on my face when killed someone and managed to escape the rest of his team. Thought I was safe and so started to rest and then heard the build up sound. Life flashes before me and what do you know, im alive. The stalkers attack missed, que unrest, placate, AS and impale as said stalker jumps into the distance only to die mid flight. Beautiful.

So in conclusion I guess a very good week (also got a couple of Hami O's too).

For future, I think the actual plan can be simple though: camp defender hospital, destroy rezzing rings, camp entrance while people take turns putting up pylons? Isnt that it more or less?


[/ QUOTE ]

Taking out the generator and any other power devices stops the hosptial and any guns/base defences working. Unfortunatly being outnumbered and villains knowing where we were coming in meant we couldn't get much of a foot hold in the base.
After the Generator the Anchors should be attacked.
Pylons are only useful in stealing the IoP and aren't used in winning instant raids afaik.

[/ QUOTE ]

When you are fighting decent bases I feel the only way to actually win it is by through pylons. You have to be co-ordinated but it is much easier than trying to destroy 6 anchors.

We completed the saturday 5 pm RSF but omg, wasnt it hard. The only reason we completed it was due to Black Jon Bludds pulls - ive not seen it where been able to pull a single hero each time. Took over an hour to defeat statesmen though.

I too would like to do 12.30 run but with my stalker if possible. If not I just have to console myself with my acc/dmg hami o.

Well sort of. Had some great late night stalker battles. Although had different primaries, we both shared the same secondary (Super Reflexes) and was great fun testing to each (Spines = range vs Energy = power). The unpredictable nature of SR made the battles really enjoyable. Some of the battles were over in as little as 10 seconds whilst others lasted a couple of minutes - ended up 5 all after I lost 4 on the bounce.

I forgot to update lastest level villain - finally Gutts hits level 50 - Spines/SR/Mace Mastery Stalker.

WOOT!

Glad its finally sorted. Ive still not bought the graphic card(s) I was gonna get. Im waiting for some sort of bargain to finally make me leap into action and commit to purchase. Also looking to get a new mouse, keyboard etc - ive been looking at the saitek eclipse keyboard.

Getting [censored] off at the mo as trying to sort a build for my dom. Its got to be a pvp one and theres just so many combinations. Dont even get me started on what patron to get. Ahhhhh doing my head in - Scirroco gives nice endurance move and good shield protection. Black scorpion gives a move that - acc and resistance to foe but weaker shields.

Im sure any short comings can be filled by my sg .

Ahhh shucks forgot about that when initially signed up (pvp sunday). Might have to change it to mornings then if possible. I guess ultimately it depends on how you have lined/organised everyone up.

I am, (as well as a few others no doubt) are still waiting to here about this: "amazing use of Rest in '1 vs 1' PvP".

[/ QUOTE ]

Bizarrely enough, I used it last night in a fight against a scrapper. However, this was not the use I was on about, though it worked well, I recovered my endurance and then beat the living snot out of him ( I was playing as my corr).

As for the other uses....well, you'll just have to keep guessing. It does require some thinking outside of the box though. Here is a clue though...the fact that it is such a bad move - is what works to its advantage.

Now I can't give any bigger clues than that. I already told someone the answer.

[/ QUOTE ]

I quite happy like to fight anyone in a rated arena match wanting to try out this special move which will lead to my defeat.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you remember, I was very specific about what AT's could use it and against what ATs too. The circumstances need to be right as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I wouldnt really say specific, more like hugely vague:

[ QUOTE ]
You obviously haven't dueled enough. I've seen rest used to great effect in a duel before. I won't go into detail as it will spoil the surprise as to when it can be used. Its the sort of think that only works once though.

Yeah - it all depends on the AT you are playing at the time, and sometimes the AT you are playing and the AT you are playing against.


[/ QUOTE ]

As you said BJB, I think that is what bobthedemon would do but only himself can comment. As well as not being useful for 99% of fights, im sure the success rate is about the same as its usefulness (1%).

Its good to think outside the box but I dont think using rest to win a dual (majority of circumstances) will catch on. I think if you try all you are gonna win is a free trip to the hospital

You also get the option of having a stalker with snipe if you rather that then thermal corruptor.

Happy Cake day tiger .

Last nights Evil Wednesday 1st Strike Force was a complete success. After a dodgy start we quickly got into the swing of things. The end boss was cool but shame we killed him so quick didnt get to appreciate him .

The biggest surprise for me though was not how quickly we took the end boss down but the fact that we actually have a functioning base! Abit baron but got all the basics so cant complain. It brought back a wry smile of how EVIL once was.

Had a slight tidy up of EVIL so once again have afew spaces for people to join but imagine they will fill up pretty quick.

Oh and LT have a great time.
