The EU servers seem to work perfectly well and I don't see a need to move.

^ lol. I'd agree with this if it wasn't for the whole server lag and un-useable arena issues of late.

I don't own a US copy. If I did, I suppose I'd give it a try, even if I had to start again with a new toon. Wouldn't take long to get another 50 if I didn't alt so much, its taken me 3 days to lvl a blaster to 36 just using the TFs and a little bit of solo grinding. So yeah, I'd give it a shot

[ QUOTE ]
Just so i can be clear. I was of the opinion that people didnt want me to take part in this event as well as organise as it was going to be clash of interests on my part. If you do have opinion for or against please can you make it clear to me.

I would love to take part but i wont if people seriously believe i would try and somehow manipulate this event ?

Dude? Shut it and get your toon ready for X4 peeveepee

Agreed, I must admit it has gotten very personal over the past week and its something that needs to stop.

I What I propose is we all make nice, start afresh, and only make insults if you think they are genuinely funny.

However, pride might get in the way of this ^ to begin with

And if it helps a bit, why not try a bit of "Shen Bashing", I hear its gonna be the next Olympic sport due to upcoming popularity, cus tbh I don't give a [censored]

[ QUOTE ]
In all fairness I really like the AT matchups, if you think about it they pretty much are all matched with their equivalents. That said, the only important question most teams would ask is corr/defender and tank/mm.

Also I think KS should take part. Bit harsh when he's still a player himself. If it was televised with cash prizes I'd be dubious but tbh I'm fine with it in these circumstances.

[/ QUOTE ]

^

Speaking of prizes, has there been any release of what they might be? Like Game Time rewards/In Game Titles etc?

[ QUOTE ]
Obsolete? Right. Ok. Go get me a blaster that can tank.

[/ QUOTE ]

I did forget to mention the exception of tanks

But I've heard many a time, when someone wants to do a MoSTF run blueside, they don't want a scrapper, fo a lot of reasons, main one i've heard is lack of damage. This isn't going to exactly help tbh

As everyone knows there have been a few recent changes to ET and TF which has brought mixed feelings, and I'm sure there have been other minor changes to other sets, but yet another AT set is going to be nerfed in the near distant future...

Spines (Here's the source)

I, for one, am not happy about this in the slightest. Not only is spines butt ugly to look at (which puts a lot of people off) but where Castle states that there is slows stacked from each attack pretty much, this can be countered with IO sets, most of which aren't that expensive to buy. Now from a PvP angle, the immob from impale is easily countered from CJ, or doesn't last that long (again due to IO sets). IO sets now provide res to S/L and also toxic damage (which are slightly more expensive). So there is a ton of res to what spines is dealing out. They say the game wasn't made harder to compensate for the introduction of IOs, but it seems to me due to IOs that sets like this are going to be nerfed. Maybe I'm reading it all wrong but, since the release of IOs there have been more power nerfs and changes than I can possibly remember, some of them needed, some of them not.

Which also begs the question, what's next to be changed/nerfed??

Your thoughts please...

Ill be there not sure with what pvp char yet too many too choose from lol

[/ QUOTE ]

You're a bit too late i think dude, this has already passed, even though it didn't really happen

Hopefully it can be re-organised by @Globey and @Salacious...

I have three level 50 Regens so I'm not too worried about that part, tbh :P

But you could of course import it to Mids'... :P

That would require effort, the amount of effort that my laptop could not take at the moment when running both CoX and explorer at the same time

I want this badge

But other than that fantastic idea, wouldn't mind handing Requiem his backside on a silver platter again

Great...they're nerfing more melee sets, which is going to mean scrappers will eventually become an obselete AT to any that don't RP

What's next devs?? Broadsword?? Gonna nerf the damage on that?? Why don't they take a good hard look at ATs that actually [u]ARE[u] overpowered. I fail to see how nerfing spines is in the interest of actually making things balanced, considering with the release of IO sets there is a huge amount of toxic resistance, and the amount of smash/lethal res already means toxic damage from spines is the only thing that gives it the edge. And the minimal slow/immob is also countered easy from IO sets. Not happy at all

I cant actually read the build as its in pink, think I may need to go to the opticians

Otherwise I'd be able to offer some advice on Regen as I have 2 fully IO'd regen scrappers

I'm not going to read through all the posts, but I can put money on it that someone has said "Removal of PvP" or something anti-PvP related. My answer to that is No.

My 3 annoyances are as follows:

1. Players that moan about PvP
2. Expensive recipes (Increase the rare drop rates damnit!)
3. Players that moan about PvP (I'd remove them in an instant) It makes the game less fun and tedious listening to the anti-PvP rants on and off the game, if they don't like PvP they should go and play Pac Man (as someone "suggested" on arena yesterday )

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not anti PVP.. just anti PVPers.



[/ QUOTE ]

But you associate all PvPers with the small minority of PvPers that broadcast I PWND J00 NOOB ROFLMAO etc etc, and that isnt fair. A lot of PvPers that I know do [u]not[u] do that. I PvP for fun and for the adrenaline buzz, not to tell people that their build of the character is [censored] and most of the PvP community are the same. Most of the PvE community tarnish those who don't express that kind of language or behaviour with the same stick that do. And its certaily comments such as yours that proves this

Also depends what secondary you choose to go with it. Most take EM or Elec.

I'm currently on a blaster phase, and ive made about 5 in the space of 2 days.

My recommendations are:

Archery/Fire - Lots of fun, I have one at lvl 35 and loving every second of him, though the amount of aggro I get is silly

Ice/Energy - With power boost can hold single targets better than a troller, which is extremely satisfying

Fire/Elec - Mine is lvl 50 and I love it to bits

Fire/Energy - See Below
Ice/Energy - If you wish to PvP
Psi/Energy - See Above

Did this actually happen? imo it didn't, probably due to the [Censored] invasion, power lag and RWZ raids. Thoroughly disappointed in the people that call themselves "badgers". Is it possible that Globo and Sal could arrange it again for a time where there is [u]no[u] interruptions (like until after X4)??

This issue should now be resolved on Union. Apologies for the time it took!

Just to clarify for the Level 21 matchs (featherwieght) here some basic rules the rest to come at a later time.

Each Match is @ lvl 21
Each Match is 10 minutes long
No Set Bonuses.
Accolades are allowed if you wish to collect them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just to clarify, the toon being used is [u]not[u] allowed to be above lvl 21, correct?

I just want it to be sorted :<

ph34r teh nitting n33dlez!!

But seriously, Decimation may have to come out of retirement for this, may need to work on him a bit (a lot)

Just started an elec/elec brute, finding it fun so far, only got it up to lvl 10 though. Any advice on whats worth taking, what isnt worth taking, and any combo's that are good in both PvE and PvP (PvE mainly though).

And what is your account status now?

It might be worth sending another petition, because I don't think you really wanna lose your account

Taunt is useful, like you said "if used effectively", but you can say the same for every other power on the game

[/ QUOTE ]And thus taunt "being useful" is not a good enough reason that all tanks should take it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you have a tank Max?

[ QUOTE ]
Tankers do not just take Taunt so they can get a team

[/ QUOTE ]

Some do. Not many, but it happens. Simply having Taunt in thier power list is not an indicator that someone will be a good tanker.

[ QUOTE ]
Taunt is useful

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure it's useful if it's used effectively.

But their are 8 other powers in the tankers secondary, and they are all useful too.


All scrappers have Confront in thier primaries. How many actually take it? Would you say "I won't team with a scrapper without confront?".

[/ QUOTE ]

Scrappers are a different kettle of fish and you know that. Their job isn't to tank, otherwise there would be no Tanker AT.

You can say what you want about Taunt, and do as much number crunching to go with it, but Taunt is useful, like you said "if used effectively", but you can say the same for every other power on the game, as Cognito said.
