Quote:There aren't any DQ's, as per Bug.Originally Posted by TheMightyObs
We here at THU have been pouring through the combat logs for hours. We'll get screen shots and analysis of the accuracy/dmg PDFC's members brought to the table *as well as what they would have had to do to get it* as soon as it's all sorted and itemized. Get ready for a good laugh, guys! Personally, I think you should be DQ'd (since you massively shattered the rules and should be) or at the very least bumped down to last. The reason we as a team aren't announcing a "They get DQ'd or we go" ultimatum is because this is a small tournament and we've already seen enough teams leave of their own volition. Maybe the rules will get evened out and we can actually have a fair match one day. Wouldn't that be nice? Instead of one where we pretty much just throw ourselves at you to collect mountains of data with the occasional debuff and attack of our own to get baselines for how you guys would perform if you weren't cheating. On, you know, a massive level
Still like ya, buddy. Enough to not recount the entire litany of what your team has done from when this began to present.
There isn't any such thing as fair PvP match. Some players have better rigs, better reflexes, better builds (yes even at level 10...) it happens.
You yourself said you were confident of taking the ladder, to the point of offering ATIOs to the winning team...oops?
The rules are evened out:
There is no rule against lineup substitutions before a match starts, so a team could just swap out level 10s forever.
There are no lineup submissions either...see above.
There isn't a barcode rule because you can simply tab by AT.
There are no penalties for temp power usage, not that this has happened anything but accidentally from what I've seen.
Everyone with a VIP account has access to the same ATs and levelling path so no issues there either...
Your team has been on top of the league since the start, where were these issues then? Especially since Bug himself has said that any prizes wouldn't necessarily be by standings...
To be fair, your team also sits at its spawn point in matches. I saw a match on Striga and Graveyard where neither team moved until the 3:00 mark or so. Again, people will play for whatever edge they can get.Quote:Originally Posted by Gabby

I'll be honest, I stopped caring when people stopped wanting to actually fight. I'm not big on wasting my time counting a clock for the hell of it.

If I were a dev?
Easy.
MORE CUTSCENES.
Mission briefing - Cutscene
Mission one - Cutscene
Boss fight - Cutscene
Repeat for three more missions, with the players doing practically nothing.
Yeah, that would be super annoying. -
GURPS IST.
Worked wonders for my group in the day.
HERO is just too broken...too many over the top powers (Intang comes to mind) and our group had to ban swaths of abilities to create a balanced game. -

9. Revisit the set bonus rule of 5.
How? Instead of "Five of any one bonus and percent," it would be "Five of any bonus, either five of the lowest or one of each percent."
Let me illustrate:
We have a set that has, say, "Increased debt protection" (because EVERYONE builds for that!) at .0625, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3%, with a purple set giving 5%. You have five "slots" for it.
You could end up with five of .0625%. If you get one that's higher, it replaces one - so you have one 1% and four .0625% ones. At most, though, you could have four 1% bonuses. Get another at one percent, and you have two 1%, three .0625%. You CANNOT, however, have five 3% bonuses! At most, you could have one 3%, one 2%, one 1.5%, one 1%, and one .0625% (If we had one more - say a 2.5% bonus - you could drop the lowest .0625 and have a 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3% - but only one of each.)
Yeah, it makes things a little more complex, I know. And it drops those caps - not 5 3%, 5 2%, etc, etc, etc.
4. Would not work. PEople would just sell off Market and on the forums or trade with each other...making the Market bare of wanted items, screwing the newer player or unwealthy player instead of helping them.Quote:Originally Posted by Zyphoid
4. Max listing cap on items in the AH based on rarity. I personally have billions in inf, so it is not about me. It is more about capitalism run amok.
8. Brutes would have a 85% resistance cap, to put them below tanks.
9. Tanks would get an increase to their base damage, and damage cap. However I would still be hated for this because it would not be enough to make J_B happy.
11. Conserve power would go away for melee ATs. They would all get Superior Conditioning in place of it.
.
8. Yes please.
9. Yes please, a small increase in damage would be nice.
11. Like this idea a lot. -

Do Fake Nemesis or Warhulks spawn from this event?

Well usually I'm like Han Solo in that I don't like it when people "tell me the odds" of things but since I got my Black Wolf (on the live servers) in my 237th pack I don't feel -too- bad. At least it was less than the 420 you cited.
Good luck to everyone else still 'chasing' that dream...
My irl frend that plays casually finally broke down and got some packs with some reward tokens, nominally hunting for catalysts. 20 packs opened, full costume set, Black Wolf in first pack and 8 catalysts. Yeah, he's that guy that's super lucky.

If anyone can draw me up a cheapy Nin/Nin Stalker build ( < 2-3 billion) would be appreciated, no luck on the build forum.
Just PM me here please. -

Gah, tonight was the finale and I completely missed it. Will there be pictures of the winning costumes?
We had close to 30 heroes and a dozen villains show up.
Just from memory Chicago Doodler won on at least one side, if not boh.
Winners, from memory:
Blueside:
Watchman
Mime (?)
Pixie (?)
Redside:
Mistress Hellfire
Silent Seth
Araneidae
All participants received 25,000,000 for their efforts.....that came out to about 500 mil total blueside and 300 mil redside. The purples included Ragnaroks, Armageddons and a Grav Anchor.
The costumes were all awesome, thanks everyone for putting in the time to design and flaunt them.
Thanks Amy, Cobalt, Fanged_Knight, Cherry_Cupcakes, Scatterpack, Dazz_Marvelous, TheSwitchRadio, everyone who donated prizes...
now it's back to the market to raise funds for the next event! -

Almost a Mo run, but I accidentally let Penelope Lee die right in the last fight. Otherwise, yeah, everyone rocked it.
As for last night's event, I didn't partake as I would have competed for my own donations. Sounds like people had fun!
Or extra for a Master complete.
Closing Ceremonies and costume contests tonight! -

I'm enjoying my Dark/EM Blaster most at the moment, I actually get hit so I need to manage my health/end and smash face. -
Arena event complete!
Gold Medal: Disciple of Horus (Stalker)
Silver Medal: Amygdala (Corruptor)
Bronze Medal: @ChicagoDoodler (Corruptor)
Trick Arrow level 10 =
Fun event though! -
Quote:The packs are limited edition...so while you can get the Archetype Origins with Reward Merits or Astral Merits, these will eventually go "out of print" and then perhaps go up/down in value on the Market. I initially got about 20 of these packs (note that you can get them as a Tier 9 repeatable) and used all my excess Reward Merits as well...and got a bunch of Scrapper: Chance for Critical IOs (Reasoning: Staff fighting means more Scrappers and Brutes...) and the Brute: Chance for Fury and made a small mint re-selling them.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
My one gripe (of course, being how I am) is the rarity guarantee of one rare or super rare per pack- how are they rare if you know you're getting one?
I got two super rares in my two packs, the aforementioned Mastermind IO and some sort of crazy looking gun model for the tailor.
I'm staying away from Icon tonight, so I should be able to fit in a few missions.
So this is another niche for you to explore marketwise. They don't sell for TOO much but they will be a nice GIC (Guaranteed Income Certificate) for you at times...I was on Freedom and someone was spamming for the Blatster IOs so just doubled my market money then and there!
Tin cans for all! -
1)Roll on a moderate pop server like Infinity, Champion or Pinnacle.
2)Run heroside for more teams.
3)Do Death from Below ONCE then do content.
4)Join some global channels if you can.
5)Try different alts/powersets. -
My favourite really changes but my top 3 right now:
1)Mind Control/Bubbles. Been playing her for close to 8 years, always tweaking. Power Boost + bubble and holds means my team doesn't get hit and the mobs don't move...pretty nice combination.
2)Willpower/EM Tanker. Soft-capped, hit point capped and just a blast to play. Love wading into massive spawns and just going for a tea or something.
3)Dark Blast/Energy Manipulation Blaster. Only 24 but Tenebrous Tentacles AND a hold AND blasts AND Power Boost AND Aim AND Build-up?
Stuff just dies and those that live can't hit back... -

Saw this on the CoH Facebook thread...

Not a lot of new info... EXCEPT THIS:
"Sure! For the 8th Anniversary we gave away the Statesman Salute rewards to pay homage to a great hero, there will also be a new invasion involving the Nemesis (its a Nemesis Plot!) who will take over Paragon City and the Rogue Isles."
A Nemesis invasion???? Snipers everywhere, swarms of Jaegers in AP? I like!
-
Mutants are really vague anyway. My Blaster is a mutant because he got transformed by an alien species that messed with his DNA...I'm sure that's not an uncommon occurence but probably not going to get sued anytime soon.
Natural and Mutant are probably the biggest catchalls in the game... -
Gratz Team 1 on your 998 (!!!) deaths.
Still need Lady Merlin? to global me up for their prizes.
Sent Amy hers.
Good luck tomorrow everyone! -
Editing ITF rules to add:
1)Set NoDeath to 0, in order to have a death count on completion.
2)Set timer to 1:00 (One hour) as a time limit. -
Quote:Lethal lotteries are loads of fun. I could donate a few IOs to the winning team too.Originally Posted by The_Masque
Lethal lotteries have been one of the more popular pvp events that I've seen hosted.
If you don't do random partners switched between rounds you might want to limit specific ats or power sets.
Id be happy to donate some funds for this, how about 500mill. If you get a few more donations you should have a pretty nice prize pool. If you want me to try to contact one of the community reps for swag id be happy to, or you can by pming them, describing your idea and what prizes you are requesting.
Oh man, I'm just remembering some hilarious duos I was in over the years...emp paring with Girl Sixx or Bubbler/Stalker with Void on Champion and so on...but yeah, you definitely need some prep for this...try using random.org for starters for the pairings and you'll need to have people be with different partners every round...end of X rounds the top point-getters face off in the final!
This seems like a blast, I'd definitely help out as needed.
P.S. Signing up one toon is probably preferable for this. -
So I made this Nin/Nin Stalker ages ago on Champion...think CoV Beta to live...got him all accoladed, ran all the content then, got all the accolades (everything from Born in Battle to Force of Nature), then IOs came out and he had all of 10,000,000 inf on him and I went...ehhhhhh...forget it.
Over the years I've accumulated a bunch of inf and IOs and I'm pretty bored at the moment, so shere's the challenge:
Make me a build using mostly uncommons, a handful of rare sets that will make my Nin/Nin "fun", where "fun" is basically running most content without endurance issues and where the Ninjutsu's defense is optimized.
Feel free to add in Incarnate stuff since I can run infinity trials on Champion anyway.
Budget allocated: Whatever, but would like to keep it under 2-3 billion...a lot less than that is preferable. Basically looking for a cheapy build.
Have "unlimited" respecs...the toon has been around forever so I think he has 12 or 14 Respecs, so that isn't an issue.
Could throw an Apoc IO to the best build if that helps, I have some spares kicking around in my storage bases.
Thanks!
