I don't seem to be on that list... and i have 3 lives left

Lies, hes been eliminated

U got 2 rads so should be easy, may bring my fire dev along.

Note that you get the AV spawns after 4 points are taken, they do not despawn untill the zone reverts. HOWEVER if you take 4 points, kill the AVs then take the 5th point you get more AVs, if you take 4 spawn the AVs then take 5th while AVs still alive you do not get any more AVs. Doing 4, stopping, then doing the 5th allows you to kill more and not have to wait the 5 mins for zone reversion.

Also note that different combinations result in different AV spawns, points B C D E result in Shirocco for example.

Kill GW 1st on her spawn or she heals others

Mako is a swine to kill as runs some form of Elude/IH combo

Ignore the bane spider executioners Recluse spawns and kill recluse 1st on his spawn, when hes dead no more, otherwise he keeps making them.

The others are pretty easy really (killed all on day one of i7 release on Union )

He's lev 34 in your sig.

Somewhere you're lying :P

[/ QUOTE ]

my mistake he is lvl 34 (i think )

Given the recent changes I thought I would dust of Control-obot, my lvl 33 grav/rad and pimp him about to assist people with any AV arcs. Happy to be SKd up and should really lvl him as hasnt budged for well over 8 months now

Send me a PM or tell in game and I will try to assist

Ok, here's what we're going to do:

Draw the fixtures for next week immediately after the fights tonight, and then post them up tonight. Once these are up, it's up to you to co-ordinate your team-mates and opponents to fight before 10pm on Friday the 16th of June. Results for Union should be PMed or global /t'd to me (Xanthus) and Defiant results should be sent to Captain Morgan. It might be a good idea to take a screenshot of your results, and post the date/time of your match on the thread as well in case people want to come and watch.

bleah, organise 6 random people for an arena bash isnt going to be fun and seeing how the people in my team havent responded to the PMs I sent them days ago I dont think I will bother.

[ QUOTE ]
Has anyone done an exploratory run to see if the GM buffs have crazied-up hami and his mitos?

From being on a team taking down Jurassik earlier today, I don't see this raid going incredibly well...

Well, defiant has one up next week or the week after right? Maybe they will share their experiences since they will likely have a whack before this comes up.

Shrug.

I have vaugue recollections of the devs saying hami is hami and not an AV/GM and isnt subjective to the changes, I could be wrong though.

Every couple of months is too long jimho

Yah that's what a few of us think too, but we're also not leadery enough to organise anything of our own

I enjoy Hami raids. I've been to all bar one raid, as far as I know, since the first successful takedown by Chaplain and his gang.

The last method I think worked so well that we should be able to do it in such a short time. I remember hearing that hami wasn't shooting anything for a long time before the call came down to knock him out.

I could lead the phantom army droppers, if you need. I'd prefer someone like Stagefright to do it though, he's had experience and knows what's going really well.

From what I saw from my vantage point at the last raid (above the jello), after the few occassions where flying in teams were wiped before we started properly was: PAs dropping + gathering aggro. Taunt team flying in with group flyer, doing their thing with hami. Group flying groups of Rad and Kin controllers and defenders dropping into the middle of everything right next to hami. Kins spamming heals off hami, rads debuffing hami and AMing like mad. A couple of dark defenders for picking up large groups of corpses if there was a bit of a wipe. A bubbler or 3 for hold protection. Controllers spamming holds, PA team stops dropping, waits for pets to leave, then drop down to join holding. Team leaders come down to hit hami while the holds are being spammed. Wait for word from taunter for no damage. Blasters come in and go nuts. Server tries it's best not to blow a fuse.

That was what I saw, I may have missed some of the nuances, like who was taking care of the mitos after the PA team came down? I'm pretty sure that we just ignored them, we had so much green going off that only the odd person died after we joined the holders.

Then hami dies, and the mitos vanish with him, which was very nice, and everyone was happy.

Look forward to it.

Maybe someone *cough*stalky*cough* could organise something a little sooner for us hami-maniacs (gotta catch em all).



Shrug.

I would run more frequent raids on union for those hami hoarders However if I have a specific objective to complete I tend to become slightly militaristic in my approach and like things to run like clockwork (like when i was doing the warburg pvp missions in under 3 mins ) I also get annoyed if people dont adhere to the plan and can do without the agrivation of the inevitable people who dont follow instruction well.

However, hopefully Xanthus will get lvld up soon enough and Im sure he would be happy to get frequent, organised and sucessful raids running So if you see him about get him lvld fast

I really hope you have a free week end for the transfer because it'll take at least that much

[/ QUOTE ]

15 mins tops, just feels longer as so damn dull

[ QUOTE ]
Yet i remember reading a post somewhere (sorry getting old, cant recall where it was) made by a mod saying that they still give debt to prevent people under 50 from hunting them

[/ QUOTE ]

test server patch notes

however the fact that they have stated they will be removing debt in the near future indicates to me some half arsed programming.

Given that most of the villains will be trying the new content and lvling how about if we jump RV tonight and take a crack at the AVs?

Rads will be more than welcome

great 3 HIGH damage dealers v a scrapper, a troller and a blastfender, not impressed with this draw

drop 2 slots from resiliance, 1 SO = 6.7% resistance, 3 SO = 8.8%, a very expensive way to get 2.1% resistance.

I havent done a raid on union however I have been to tons on the US servers and though the raids are nigh on always sucessful they are beyond chaotic full of nimmers either to dumb to know whats going on or trying to mess it up.

Given the different dynamics and MUCH smaller loads of the EU servers it seems to me that Xanthuses method is quick, easy and professional. Straight for mitos sounds fine and am sure we would all be doing it if there was the remotest chance that we could rely on the server which has (I beleive) specifications for 75 people in the same place as opposed to the 120+ that the raid gets.

I remember raids on defiant with a heal blanket where the server lagged so bad it took 10 mins to activate a power as though the bar shoed recharged the server wasnt able to process the information so they were out of synch.

I wouldnt say there is any remote serious english server rivalries, indeed a great many of us are now playing on union.

My recommendation based on the insane amount of raids I have been on would be to get Xanthus lvld and get him to run the raids (no disrespect to anyone else) just for the reason that they are quick, seemingly a sure fire way of success and people like to do them every two weeks. Every couple of months is too long jimho

[ QUOTE ]
wanna get really alot? Go get an account on US servers, farm along dayly on HO's and copy your char at the end to EU server.. this includes all your shiny HO's.. gratz on PvP ok?

[/ QUOTE ]

shhhh

lose the 3 slots from resiliance, 1 is all thats needed. 1 SO is about 6.7% resistance and 3 SOs gives a mere 8.8% a very expensive way to get 2.1% resistance.

Spines/SR is great at high lvls, SR as a secondary is awesome at high lvls in all respects. However I personally prefer regen due to the fact that you have more long term fighting ability with the end recovery and no real need to put mog into a pvp build and hence no crash.

(elude pwns MoG so badly its not even funny though)

HOs ftw

You can make some seriously fun and interesting builds with them, just wish there were more with recharge in them.

[ QUOTE ]
actually, also

fire dev blatantly doesnt have the best snipe in the game, cos fire dev doesnt have BU, so is therefore even more gimped than fire fire (can u see how much i hate the Devs for putting such a weal set into a game which now has pvp)

Plight

[/ QUOTE ]

I meant Fire has the best snipe in the game, check out the stats of it and as fire/dev has the fire snipe it clearly does have the best snipe of the game, im not talking about when suplimentary powers are called into play to boost blah blah blah as then EM will always win out.

my best advice, DO NOT MAKE A PVP BLASTER WITH ANY SORT OF FIRE SETS!

that will be all.

P.S. no fire blasters ever beat me, ever. thats what i base my advice on

[/ QUOTE ]

give me an outdoor arena and I will 2 shot you :P

Fire/dev is a lot of fun and has the best snipe in the game

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah ok, gimme an outdoor map and o wait, fire is still rubbash, ur held, ur dead etc etc. like to see u snipe through my DoT tbh

Plight

[/ QUOTE ]

3 dam range HOs and 3 recharge in both snipe and LRM coupled with my insanely fast fly speed. You should never count out any build, just because most play one way doesnt mean others cant make them do something else. Stalk-obot was pretty much universally lambasted due to having 0 def (aside from hide and stealth) and my kinetic corr with the mighty neutrino bolt and cosmic burst (thats all) has beaten many none blapper blasters in WB in duels.

Dev does its job its just not a blapper and shouldnt be played as such, its fun and can take out alts that Plight Trawler cannot, for example my Fire/dev will make mincemeat out of stalk and yet stalk can batter plight silly.

There are no real "gimped" builds, its how you approach and play them.

I beleive that the raids should be done closer together and in the format of the defiant one which now take about an hour and are batting an incredible sucess rate now, check the defiant forum or ask Xanthus about it.

[ QUOTE ]
you lose a lot of momentum if you 3slot CJ AND hurdle. Just 3slot hurdle and leave the single slot in CJ, you have more jumping speed and better movement that way.

[/ QUOTE ]

the height is invaluable in conjunction with SS in the zones as the majority of the time you dont have to switch to sj to get over things in pursuit, just my personal preferences

[ QUOTE ]
an SR or an ice tank would always see u provided that u are on ur own . An SR or ice tank with tactics and FA will always see u at least in 10 feet, and that provided u are teaming with someone granting u invis. Ur build looks good to me, but id change the order of some powers and drop super jump since u got both hurdle and cj 3 slotted on jump

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah I kind of agree but found sj invaluable at reaching some flyers as hurdle/cj combo gives you speed but not the height. Its also annoying when you cant get on a roof to dish out a smackdown

The order was somewhat random as made the build very late at night and somewhat bleary eyed I think Im gonna make this one myself

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Meh.
Heroes still pwned!

[/ QUOTE ]

No, heroes didn't 'pwn' they won due to overwhelming numbers. Exactly the same way villains 'won' it last time the event was held.

After teh bulk of players left, the numbers were a lot more even and the villains actually began clawing back quite a bit.

Given the lag and totally one sided numbers, I think it's a little presumtuous to say either side 'won'

[/ QUOTE ]

well I had the opposing veiw and it seemed to me to be far more villains than heros perhaps due in part to the hoards of lag inducing MMs. To be honest I got bit annoyed at them and hunted them mercilessly and killed all the PFFing MMs pets, best part of the night was when one of these PFFers decided to help his minions and dropped his sheild and attacked me

But anyway, I dont use the temps, I dont care if other people use them and dont care who won, I was just there for fun.
