brawl, ROFL, i know ur not joking weasel, but sheesh, have u even seen the melee attack damage of blasters?


[/ QUOTE ]

Fair enough Plight, but I can land a brawl hit WHILST my Power Thrust has thrown them 30 yards away.

Still stick by brawl; it's cheap and effective.

[/ QUOTE ]

and its a free toggle dropper that works wonders in pvp if u acc it up

[/ QUOTE ]Most blaster melees have much higher toggle drop than brawl though... not to mention the insane damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

But with a single recharge, brawl is ALWAYS ready and acts as a mini follow if they zip past you. YMMV though

"Fanfare for the Common Man" for Weasel (Aaron Copeland)

First of all, keep Brawl in that attack chain. Auto'd if necessary, it's a nice solid piece of damage with minimal drain.

Secondly, use your environment, don't just stand there waiting to be hit back. Move!

Thirdly, some combos work better than others, as secondary effects can prevent counter-measures.

Think like a Boxer rather than a Wrestler; short timed jabs followed by devastating right hooks. If you just cycle Hooks all the time; it's far too easy to counter, even for the dumb AI

I'm afaid I Googled...Not quite that big a geek

No idea then

Mine are now called Hayley, Elan, Roy, Belkar, Varsuvius and Durkon

Though they tend to change when I get bored

You forgot "Copy of Angling Times"

When the Police send you home because you're RP'ing Cthulu on top of the phone boxes, you KNOW you've had a good night

Americans : Plan their RP 6 months in advance, Go to war at the drop of a flag, Wouldn't think of ruining a game by drinking or not using boxed text, Treat Dice like Gods.

UK : Turn up in jeans and T-shirt for any game running, Go to peace at the drop of a flag; Drink;Game;Drink;Game; Collapse; Wake; Drink Coffee; Repeat, Treat Dice like Missile Weapons.

That's from near 20 years experience

Well, in my time RP'ing, I think I've broken most of the boundaries of age/gender/sexuality/appearance/creed and race; with varying degrees of success. I guess it's all down to challenge vs. comfort.

The more mature the playerbase, the more you can 'delve' into the psyche of people apart from yourself; as long as people know that's not really you.

The time's that have caught me up the most is when I've been playing in direct opposition to my usual RL self; but the characters I like the most tend to be closer.

I'd find it much harder to play a male sadist rather than a female geek

Sorry to scare you, Weasel, but for american gamers yes, they are like that...
DO you want to burn your passport now, just in case??

It's not really I know a couple of American Gamers that laughed as hard as I did

[ QUOTE ]
IMO its a must for blasters. AIM + BUILD UP + Snipe no better way to start off a battle. I use it all the time. AIM + BUILD UP + NOVA what more can u say, CARNAGE.

P.S.I have played many character types but nothing is more fun than going Nova in the middle of a MOB.

Happy Blasting

Me too. Surely villains should be allowed to make Houses of Negotiable virtue

"Oh fine. I'll start my own base. With Blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the blackjack and the base".

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes Mr. Bender, sir.

[ QUOTE ]
I have no proplem with people using some tactical insps, but when a blaster drops 6 purples and ends up with better defence and offence than my precious bute, its doesnt seen that fair. Insps should probably be limited in pvp so its more about the player and their power choices rather than how many and whats insp they brought.

that said im probably grumpy cos i never have anyluck in sirens.

Just wait for 30 seconds and then maul the blaster

Requiem's Coin

This reminds you of

"The Path Less Trodden".

Waking up from a deep sleep one morning, you found yourself transported back through time to two days before the Rikti War.

Whilst you struggled getting to grips with the sights and sounds that you'd not seen for so long, an ominous group of enemies sought to crush your souls.

The Carnival and Crey seemed aware of your presence and they hunted you down before you could understand the predicament you were in.

Could you stop the War? And if you did, what would happen to you?

The Liberty League were tipped off to your accidental stumblings on the Timeline of the World and set off to capture you until you let them know of the danger.

In the middle of trying to save the world from the Invasion, you were attacked by thousands of the Fifth Column, endlessly throwing themselves against the far superior might of the Heroes.

Seeking the murderer of a villain, you talked to Dr. Sheridan, who informed you of a strange disappearance of his patient, just as the Crey sent their new Paragon Protectors to steal your DNA.

Escaping through the sewers, you found remnants of the original Fifth Column, sent to observe your progress. In defeating them, you saw the first glimpse of the man they called Requiem, before the tunnel was buried.

The Carnival realised they would be trapped in this time unless they escaped and ambushed you, using their Strongmen to dig up the tunnel and the portal, but it was to no avail.

Entering the tunnel through your own powers, you were trapped in a deadly death-trap but managed to escape, coming across the remnants of Requiem's Time-Travellers.

Requiem had chosen those that would have betrayed him though, and set charges to destroy the base. You escaped by the skin of your teeth thanks to the help of your future selves.

The letter though, gives a clue to his whereabouts. Requiem must be stopped before the Rogue Isles gives birth to a new Fifth Council.

Saphire saw a sight, but not really one of heart-stopping terror; rather just a leather satchel held up to her face.



"Ms. Saphire and Ms. Mistress?", the postman said,"I wonder if you'd sign this for me."

He holds up a small sheet of paper attached to a clipboard, with dotted lines at the bottom for your signatures. It's plainly obvious that there's a small piece of carbon paper underneath so he can get your autographs, but that's not really important now.

In the brief moment of embarassment whilst the two of you search your costumes for a pen; he pulls one out and hands the battered pen to Saphire first.

"Paragon Express Delivery. Actually a bunch of us guys at the office were kinda hoping maybe you could shed some light on the subject. You see, we've had that envelope in our possession for the past 10 years."

A look flashes between Grav and Spahire at this.

"It was given to us with the explicit instructions that it be delivered to two capes with your descriptions...."

Looking at Grav's rather battered clothes, he gets a little flustered and turns away.

"...answering to your names, at this exact location, at this exact minute, January 9th 2006. We had a little bet as to whether you would actually be here - looks like I lost!"

He smiles at his own little joke.

"Here, sign on line 6 please."

After you sign your names (Heroic Alter-Ego's of course because surprisingly that's what it asks for), he passes you the envelope and walks off towards the train line, pushing a waiting heroine out of the way, who snarls and pops her claws.

The Note reads...

To the one this world calls Agent Saphire and The Grav Mistress:
I had planned for this for a long time, but it was fortune itself that delivered me into your hands. The Carnival told me that Agent Saphire had been pursuing her own agenda that night and was tired; and that the Grav Mistress was equally weary from the defence of your pathetic city.

Whilst you may have thought you had destroyed "Die Zeitspielraumexperimente" during your clashes with that fool Ubellman, I had my remaining men spirit the broken pieces away. To repair such a thing was childsplay.

My recent incursions into Time Travel, through my loving host the Nictus, taught me that the arrival of one person at a critical point in history could spin the world into a state of flux in which only the true leaders of the world would be able to save it from it's decadent anarchy that it now lingers in.

A suitable point, the start to the Rikti War, had already been made available to me, strewn; as it was; with multiple dimensional holes; but I was far too valuable to risk, so I needed a guinea pig.

Approached by the Carnival, I believed they could help me; and the additonal forces of my own dear Fifth Column could always help. My first efforts were thwarted by time itself though as, as I had rightly predicted, the stress of passing through time would be far too great for mere Mechanical Men to withstand. Their recording cameras though, that I dug up in the midsts of the War, provided me with some valuable information on you.

I digress, with a hired Malta Zeus and some of the prancing fools of the Carnival, I set a trap. Transporting the two of you back in time I set you challenges.

Saphire, your battle with the Crey, that I, of course, organised, was to help the Crey understand the power of their Protectors and the need for them to use Nictus to fight your Kheldian might. For that I thank you. It helped mould my control over the Ziggurat.

Grav Mistress, your use of wormholes help conceal my trail and lead to my ultimate coup, but more of that later.

Because I am a student of such things, I also left you with the conundrum of whether to warn that fool Statesman of the impending attack.
If he had known, history would have been altered and your own selves would have changed your own futures; thus creating a paradox which I would have been most interested in.

This you failed to do.

You, however, did not pay attention to the thousands of Fifth Column agents that attacked the Liberty League in the middle of Atlas though. You see, I already knew of the Council's attempts to take over the Column, and had all my best men attack Statesman on that day. Thousands were arrested and shipped to the Ziggurat, as I'd intended.

Why am I telling you this now? Well, unlike some of the third rate villans you are used to dealing with, my plan is already underway.

With thousands of the Fifth Column safely shacked away in the Ziggurat, the Council were free to take over; just in time to be met by the Rikti and slaughtered like the contemptuous dogs they were. Meanwhile, in the Ziggurat, my greatest councillors and agitators were turning the finest Super Villain minds to the thought of a new Reich. A Reich to encompass the entire Globe.

And then, my dear friend Lord Arachnos made it happen for me. He broke into the Ziggurat and called all of my troops his Destined Ones. How right he was on that. Like so many leaders, he fails to see the trouble in his own ranks. By my estimates, eighty percent of his new "Destined Ones" believe not in the manic blatherings of that Octupoid fool, or the Deadly Beauty of Ghost Widow; but in the True Blood rule of the Reichsmann.

I cannot say that you have done everything I ask, but I will acknowledge that you fought well. Drink deeply of your success. Bask in the adulation of your peers. Savor this victory. Know that you have saved your world and this moment from the shadow of history. But you have only saved it for now. Do not think that you have saved this world for your future. Know that you have saved this world for my coming Dominion.

Until then, watch the Shadows, for I will see Paragon City burn, and in the flames, I will be the one laughing.

- Requiem


You have received the Souvenier - Requiem's Coin.
You have received a new Badge - Timewalker.

There is also a strange watermark to the paper, Lambda Rho - 57/20 , perhaps Unai Kemen could help....

[[ My apologies for the late ending of this, but I thought it would be worth waiting for

My adventure ends here; but I hope to do a new one sometime soon after I've finished off the calendar. Can I just give thank to all those who've helped and provided comments. All taken onboard and I hoped you enjoyed it ]]

Meh :P

AFAIK

Aim is +100% Acc, +60% Dam
Build up is +60% Acc, +100% Dam (Capped of course)

En/En/En Blaster vs Claw/Invul/Body Scrapper.

Really depends on who can get the drop on each other.

Stase will be slamming me with multiple attacks, opening with her KD and then SS'ing off if I drop her too low.

I'll be using Stealth and Flight to get the drop on her; then melee pounding before backing off to blast the last bits of her health off.

It depends solely on the maps at times. Crowded Environments will get me toasted; Open ones I soar in.

*mutters* Me as well.

Take it
Love it
Caress it

Short Answer : Don't.

Long Answer : Stealth provides far more than just armour and using it properly will help your survival rating.

Boxing is a naff attack that Blasters really don't need. Tough won't give you enough protection to make it worth 2 power and 3+ slots.

Change the Blasters to Scrappers then...
