    Really?????

    This is all sorts of awesome! I'll be running RSFs much more regularly now, as that part was one of the more tedious ones in the Strike Force. How many times has the stupid tech gotten lost/not followed etc etc arg.

    Good change.

    We can so some practice runs on it, maybe some 1 v 1s so you can practice your chain or even 2 or 3 v 3s if we can get enough Nites or other people in Pocket D.

    Just let know in Alliance X channel.
  3. Fun times again Mebs, thanks everyone for coming out.
  4. It isn't unless you have a group of friends you can just log in and shoot the crap with; it then becomes somewhat tolerable to enjoyable.
    You can have fun in zones, I guess, but you definitely want you Fire/Regen or something survivable.

    Nites of Wowness
    Us ftw

    Heh.

    We've had a merger, it was hostile as Funk Energy Transferred to our faces.

    2 Girls 1 Funk:

    @XFunk - Revenge of the Funk - Energy Melee/Energy Aura Brute
    @Neuronia - Coldly Logical Kara - Mind Control/Cold Domination Controller
    @Aponiwi - Silent Crash -Energy Melee/Willpower Stalker

    Not sure, think Funk may bring his favorite Ar/Trick Arrow Corr instead...apparently JK and Kiwi know.

    What is Poverty?

    Poverty is not having enough to get SOs every 5 levels.
    If you have one to five million dollars at 50, you're likely poor (contingent on not having blown a ton to IO out/contests).

    This rocks. 8-9 is hard for me because of leagues, teaming, stuff...realizing that might make it harder to people because of work though, sigh.

    Thanks for your efforts Mebs.

    So basically, blasters/dominators/corruptors are good (since corruptors are kill stealers and getting the final hit is what matters for points), melee characters are good as long as they can move fast to keep up with people, and I wouldn't suggest trying a defender/controller/mastermind as only certain powerset combinations of those can be effective, and even then a FFA format doesn't favor them.
    Holds aren't actually that hot in PvP 2.0. You're better off going with knockback and lots of it. The animation will basically paralyze you and set up a good spike for your team. Go with a fully slotted Defender Force Bolt for best effect, or Mind Control Levitate works quite well too. Holds are ok as an intermediary in between your KB and your damage attack.

    You want Phase or Hiber. Period. You'll die a lot if you don't have one of these. I recommend Phase as you maintain mobility.

    If you're 'srs bsns' I recommend 43-60 points of KB protection.

    Proc any ranged attacks you have. Neutrino Bolt for Corruptors can be 'proc-gunned' very well.

    Tanks/Brutes can be serviceable as taunt bots, but again take Phase in your build.

    /EM Blasters are still good, with Psy ruling the roost these days because of the massive damage that is delivered in delayed packets from 1,000 miles away.

    You really do want SS/SJ for anything Arena related.

    Blink Machina Elec/EA Stalker
    I will throw so many sharks and Thunderstrike everybody. Whats a stalkers signature power again?
    It's Shraks and Thunderstrike. AS is for pros, everyone just shraks now.

    P.S. JK, I'm not sure what I'm bringing yet. While plan Force Bolt might be good I'm really liking my Mind/Cold/Force these days too, and she's fully purpled/Accod. Well, I could use Katie but whatever. We'll talk during practice.

  16. Use it if you've got it. Heck, use Tier 3s if you have those.

    Zones are a FFA, there aren't any set rules outside of not abusing geometry exploits.

    Question on rule

    Up to the bigwigs but previously didn't we disallow people from playing on ladder teams for a week or two if they didn't update their rosters as needed?

    I copied the articles from our hard disk to the dUmb member sections.
    If people want to re-read it I'll just copy it here

    Either way, always glad to have people reading that. If the Scoop starts publishing again I'll resume the weekly PvP interviews.
  23. Is TS and HD going to be off for these? I might copy a toon over if it's going to be a regular occurence.
    Edit: If TS and HD are on I'll copy a Scrapper or Tanker over. If they're off I'll copy over an Emp or Therm.
    Edit again: If you can fit Hiber or Phase or 42+ points of KB protect in your builds, those will all help. The latter might not be necessary in this setting, but better safe than sorry.
