People having (or trying to have) 1on1 [honor] duels in a Free For All area has always brought forth a demonic cackle . The Arena is what that sort is for .

Yeah but they can be so much fun. Like a playground fight, you gather around them and watch. I know the zone is a PvP but I do respec duels and will not interrupt (unless the hero is dishonourable and legs it). You can't beat a good duel. Interupting one or running away from one will be met with a good ole hunt.

It varies (alot depends on whos about). For example, in small squirmishs I would probably relax and be quite forgiving. When theres afew more people about it gets difficult and causes complications. You may not attack your helpless master mind but his team see you and probably wont show you any mercy. Or someone else in passing sees you and takes you out. If you took your opportunity you wouldn't be dead.

I think alot of the more experienced players and PvP's take an anything goes attitude. Its survival of the fittest and no space for morals/courtesy.

Theres not much you can do about kill stealing. It happens, sometimes accidently, more often than not on purpose. I just sometimes wish you could attack your own type. Having stalkers just finish off my prey is annoying (just an example although has happened to me abit) and would love to be able to shoot off afew blasts in his/her direction.

Now that would be good. A tailors discount/loyalty card which every member of that particular sg benefits from.

If you did have a tailor in your sg, when it came around to a base raid - an option would appear for you to forget the item of power and instead kidnap super group X's tailor

Just a reminder that defiant are going down this tuesday

Dont forget to make sure you have set up the test server. See you all there for what potentially should be a lot of fun.

I was in Sirens Call with my en/en blaster, flying around (yes, I was stupid enough to grab fly this time, and I slap myself repeatedly for doing it) when I see a Villain on a rooftop near the Hero HQ. And low and behold, it was a stalker. I'm stealthed, so I get right up close to him without him noticing me, I hit BuildUp and let loose. *MISS*MISS* then on the last and least damaging attack I hit and take about 1/5 of his health. Then as I prepare to fire off another round, suddenly another stalker appears, and luckily he misses (I go "PHEW!" at this point), but then I have "ASSASSIN STRIKE" printed over my head as yet another stalker appears. I didn't get OneShotted by him, but when the third AND fourth stalker AS me one after the other I'm well and truely [cencored]. It goes without saying I was dead before the fourth appeared.

your saying stalkers are over powered because it took 4 of them to take you down? lol...
if you would ever play a stalker you would realise that they are a really hard AT to play.

[/ QUOTE ]

I really am intrigued by people saying that. In what way is it really hard? Surely its just a matter of picking the right targets (and being in a good team).

I have just rolled a stalker and love my AS's. I find the whole argument of stalkers being overpowered funny as hell. Have these people actually played any of the villain AT's. Out of 5 AT's, only 1 is causing hero's any problems and thus they want them nerfed. As a villain (corruptor) 4 out of 5 hero AT's cause me problems but you dont hear me or other villains call for the heros to be nerfed. We just get on with it and make do with what we got.

Just because its harder and more of a challenge to deal with stalkers, doesnt mean they are overpowered. I would find actually having a challenge and something to fear would liven the game up abit (and thus more enjoyable). Being hunted down continously is not fun and enjoyable but please see that this can easily be done no matter what AT.

That sounds great. Was going through my head how on earth was I going to revamp base once upgraded without losing some items.

By the time its live should have enough to upgrade, woot.

max powerz you not your like axe?

[/ QUOTE ]

Its fine, abit on the slow side (you benefit from knockback) but from playing with a super strength tanker it appeared they were more powerful than me.

If im honest you dont see too many inv/axe tanks around - many turn to super strength (whethers thats to do with them liking the sound of it or because they know better) so they cant be that bad.

If you ever want a demonstration so can see what the powers look like etc give me a pm or something.

[ QUOTE ]
Ice/* is looking depressingly good these days.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which surely means its ready to be hit with another nerf. Have a look into Inv/SS - seen afew tanks with that and seemed very strong.

[ QUOTE ]
I think just the snipe would be enough to finish you off Perhaps save the bonesmasher to finish off the guy standing next to you

[/ QUOTE ]

Its funny cause its true

[ QUOTE ]
Heh, they can nerf me all they want max, just remember, i'll always be just behind you... Stealthed... Aiming a snipe at the back of your head...

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean Aim, Build Up (maybe afew damage inspirations), Snipe then Bonesmasher.

31 And proved myself in the Siren's Call batt;e today. Had a lot of fun and the team and chat was great, even managed to get Rockjaw involved

[/ QUOTE ]

You most certainly did. Kind of sucks that 1 on 1 don't stand a chance but glad managed to get you afew times (benefit of so many villains you can't see whose attacking you). All that is left now is to nerf you some more (can't be fair you that strong lol).

Well what a shocker. Not only can you meet in pvp areas such as sirens call, you can also fight in the arena!!!

After being whipped by heros most of the nite (towards the end heros got pwn'd) had a mini rumble in arena with some heros. Good laugh and something well worth perhaps trying to organise - a mini villain vs hero arena session free from lag and debt.

do u know how many times i have been on ur team btw? nice lvl 51 tyrant the other night i got great pics

[/ QUOTE ]Yep, I know, I was with my troller tho..
i was with the tanker when we faced Mayhem and there were 3 tanks and a scrapper overtaunting each other!LoL!

[/ QUOTE ]

Like Unthing (and others) said, having two tanks in a team can work (teamed with 4/5 of the other day) well. A plan is not needed, common sense is. If I see a tanker going for a mob I will not intefere (well wont use taunt).

I have found having 2 tanks (or more) very useful especially on AV's - One tank takes the punishment and then switchs when getting to much damage i.e. the other person starts taunting drawing the AV fire. Gives a nice sense of security (for yourself and your team) knowing if something goes wrong there is backup.

Lets beat thoose un-organized heroes by being strongar and smarter!


[/ QUOTE ]

I think we find (unfortunatly) that the hero's are very much organised.

But hopefully this will give us better communication allowing us to be more organised.

Im already in the Super Union (think its a good idea). Its just a shame there isn't a way of editing names which would then allow us to know which person is the leader of which villain group.

Go easy on the villains. Im not looking forward to this now as the hero's are getting organsied and prepared whilst the villains, well they not doing much to be honest.


I try and get afew but I reckon teh villains are gonna get apanked.

With the introduction of ED, Stamina is not as important as it was before. However, it still is useful in my opinion and thus is still in my build.

Fighting pool is a miss as the benefits are negliable. With regards to any of the inv powers not worth taking. I would say the only one that is not essential is perhaps tough hide. Unstoppable is more of a situational power (but I have always loved it) but would recommend taking it for when the [censored] hits the fan.

Hope this brief post helps.

All together now, Arrrrhhhhhh how cute.

Yeah it be nice to see some of the golden oldies showing the whipper snappers how its done

Congratulations matey. Really happy for the both of you. When you have caught up on sleep, we have to have a drink or two.

Still think you should name the baby after me :P

P.S. Lovely name and can't wait to see the piccys

No way, I missed it

Got told you had 4 bubs to go. Damn.

Well grats mate, you took you time. Most people have 2 or 3 lv 50s now

For this test server rumble there will be restrictions. You will have to be security lv 47 +.

If this event is a success then I can't see no reasons why there wont be other similar rumbles at different levels.

Gratz again

Yeah for some reason Xanthus wanted some back up. As if it would make any difference in the outcome :P

Union for teh win!
