The Smoking Demon

Looking to do today if anyone up for it. Looking for a four man team.

Great idea. Only problem I can see is if a culture of almost everyone becoming a freelancer was created.

Okay now the bug has been fixed, anyone fancy doing it with me? I'm a lvl 28 MA/EN Stalker. This evening or tomorrow morning okay. Name a time you'd like.

As a stalker, I wouldn't think of not getting AS, Placate and Buildup as soon as they become available. I've taken Flurry (and Hasten), Flurry because I just like it as a power, and it suits my characters, but also because of the very low endurance cost and it's nice to have something with damage inbetween a primary attack and brawl for if an enemy only needs that. Then again I don't have any fitness, so makes a little more sense for me. I don't worry about my secondaries too much, as as a stalker this is not what will keep you alive for the most part.

If they nerfed stalker's AS so unless you took enrages you could not one shot someone, it wouldn't bother me.

No, the main suggested nerf was to arrange it so that it was simply not possible to 1-shot someone. The assumption is that it would work a bit like falling damage, but only from full hit points. You would always end up with 'a few' hits. So, popping insps, using Build-up, doesn't matter, nothing you did would take away those last few hits. Apart from your second strike, of course.

Ah I see, well that sound okay to me.

People always have something to complain about. I think the archetypes were nerfed enough in the last update. Learn to play against stalkers and stop wingin you winy little children

Agreed. Yesterday I pvped at two different times during the day in Siren's Call. Both times the groups I was pvping against both knew what they were doing. The first team had a someone who seemed to have some sort of perception to me even though it wasn't Tactics. But I just kept my distance from him and concentrated on the rest of the team that was hunting me. I died a couple of times, but not before taking down a fair few of them. The second pvp group was later in the day and I was having major problems with an electric blaster with tactics, I don't have Invis yet, so was relying on my temp power combat Invis to help me a bit. The electric blaster could see me all the time after it ran out and killed me a fair few times...but...and here's the point..I killed him three times, even though he had taken away my main defense, and therefore my main attack to some amount. No one sees everything all the time, even it they can technically see you, watching who they are fighting, what is going on in their head as such, and weather they are baiting you, or have actually forgot about you for a moment I think is the key to good stalking (Now I just have to learn it )

I am in the middle road concerning stalker's one shoting people. I builtup and AS someone last night..no enrages and killed the person (with full health) with one shot. If they nerfed stalker's AS so unless you took enrages you could not one shot someone, it wouldn't bother me. It would not be the death of the stalker, as true stalkers I should imagine don't play a stalker sololy for the ability to one shot.

This was a nightmare for me in pvp last night. I missed about 3 kills because of this, and know it was not down to interuption.

Also had a mission yesterday where it happened a hell of a lot.

I'm taking it that OOC is the agreement? If so I said before that pushing people into npc's in order to get other players debt isn't something that is up to me to say weather it's right or wrong. Report these people or don't...it really doesn't bother me either way. Personally myself, I would rather get revenge than moan at them. And what's saying they are not roleplaying unless they are shouting in broadcast and the like? I've pvped alot in other games and this one and heard griefing that would burst your eardrums..however I've learnt that killing that person/group of people in turn in silence is the best way to make your point heard..oh..and that's after I've read the red letters telling me it is a pvp zone (once when you enter the zone and another when you get missions from the contact), along with somewhat huge letters counting down from 25 to 1. Also if two players are fighting and one backs into a group of npc's does that suddenly make the other person a griefer if he was not pushing him into them and did not notice them himself. How does the other person know the difference, in a way that is not as easy to see as being actually pushed into them using a power?

It doesn't justify crappy OOC behaviour, no.

Please don't skip over parts of my posts when quoting them, please.

[/ QUOTE ]

First of all I didn't..that was all you posted. Secondly what exactly is the point in quoting someone's whole post if my response in only about part of it; if people wish to see the whole of your post, they may simply scroll up for go back a page. Thirdly, it's a forum, people actually do that quite lot in order to save virtual rainforests.

This game is such a buggy bloody mess.

Even though I wouldn't do this (unless someone was really 'asking' for it), I'm not sure it's too wise to nerf villainy in a game named City of Villains. Saying that it's up to the people who run the game...someone does it to me...don't get mad, get even

The game being called City of Villains should no way justify the players acting like twits OOC.

I hear there was a bug..can still try if anyone wants..there's another thread by someone who managed to complete and even if we fail or get disconnected, it's still good xp.

bout people drawing you into mobs so you get debt i think you should petition them, cause even if it is PvP i think this still counts as griefing.

You didn't have to do the Bloody Bay missions if you didn't want to, you can skip them if you didn't want the risk of pvp. Have you looked in your contacts for contacts? Sounds silly but sometimes I forget. Otherwise just talk to some of your old contacts and see if they introduce you to someone else, or check contacts on the map that you haven't seen yet. I am not sure that the Bloody Bay contact tells you about your next contact since he is in a pvp zone and perhaps unconnected from the others as such.

That's fine. Ok time changed to 11am now.

Opps sorry, had to work. Anyone up for it 12pm say Saturday morning? I be on a lot Saturday, so again if anyone would prefere a different time, say. Not completely sure of lvl range..think it might be like coh and min is 24 maybe. Want to try and get people (if possible) who are all 24, due to if this respec is anything like the coh 1st respec, having anyone higher will add more differcult enemies and therefore be harder for the lower lvl people.

Anyone up for doing the first cov respec tomorrow (friday 18th) at say 11pm? I be on for a good part of the morning and day so say if you'd prefere a different time. lvl 24 MA/ENG Stalker here.

Yes
Always nice teaming with you. Take care.

Thankies

hehe thanks. It's a bit hit and miss, but gave me something to do while the server was down.

Whizzzz...pop,fixy,fixy,zzzzz..the little cog loved his life. He would hurry along doing all sorts of things, it never got dull and if he had to do anything again it always seemed like the first time. What fun to be a cog. Sometimes huge pink monsters would try and eat him and his friends but his big friends would protect him...oh to be a cog and to be loved..what a wonderful life it is. Nothing but the fixy,fixy and whirly bangs. He was a good little cog but needed to work harder, for however hard a cog works, he never feels he has done enough. But big machine eyes had been watching him..oh yes..along with others he was sent to build a great big thing...a massive thing..so much bigger than him, that he couldn't understand how something could be so big and whirly. For days he built with his friends, building their giant brother up and up. But as hard as they worked some didn't see their work as hard enough and they were throw, bashed around in an attempt to be made to work faster. The cog and his friends all needed to work harder...they must..they were cogs and that was their job.

Another day passed and the giant they were building was so tall now, the cog could not see the top..but he did not pause for he had work to do...but his friend did and caught a big whirly watcher's gaze..too much had the prince had of pondering cogs and with that the cog's friend was stepped on and crushed till all his whirly bits no longer moved.

The cog looked up at prince and the prince looked down. The cog then looked at his friend and then got back to work.

His friend had not been fast enough, not busy enough, not a proper cog, the little cog thought. However a moment later found himself looking back at his crushed and longer busy body.

It was finished! The huge whirly had been built and towered above them all. The prince came to see and checked zzzzz's and bbzzzz's of the making. The cog looked at the prince while he checked it, all the other cogs looking at the prince too. Then the cog felt his head turn...back to his friends spare parts...and then back to the prince.

Why the little cog did what he did next he never knew...but he quickly and quietly climbed the giant whirly just as it started to move...so high...but he keeps climbing. He finally reaches the back of the head as the giant comes alive. The giant then exchanges whirls and clicks with the prince....while the cog finds an opening into the back of the head of the giant. In the head he starts to fit his cogs verrrryy quietly with that of the giant's and then the giant stops speaking. The prince continues to look up and frowns his parts in confusion and frustration...screaming in zzzzzzzz's at the cog's he starts to crush them underfoot. But then the giant moves again....the prince stops and looks up just in time to see a giant foot step down upon him.

I remember teaming with a fair few on my time on coh, weather any of them play cov I don't know.

Anyone know a link to a villain planner? Thanks.

Ghost of the Scrapyard is a great GM, very imagnative and well done. 3 times as scary due to him rallying the scrapyarders too. The only other GM I have come across is the Gremlin GM (gremlins in cov being electrical ghosts in the machine sorta thing).
