Honestly, with rest xp being 1.5, as long as you play a few alts its pretty close to double xp everyday. Add to this the decrease in xp needed to level (I'm sorry the 'smoothing' of leveling) and I am pretty blah about the whole double xp thing.

Now double prestige and double influence, that is about all I am looking forward too.

Masters?

Also remember you should never have to engage a boss solo. No sybils are guarded by bosses. The crystals have Khelds. The generals can be spiked (should not be attempted solo).

The biggest issues you will face are the AVs. Those will be tricky. Tal what is your stalker? I know of a few /sr stalkers that are soft capped out of hide which is to say they can tank AVs as well as any SR scrapper can.

I think this would be very doable.

Mission 1: Just focus on the 3 Traitors guarding each sybil. Each stalker take a group and you could free them all in maybe just a few minutes.

Mission 2: Perfect for stalkers, each take a crystal or two and pop out. My /nin stalker was able to solo about 5 crystals before his t9 dropped, so with a full team it should go well.

Mission 3: Only need to spike the gens, except for of course the 'beast master' group. Best bet would be to kill the EB's first and save the Beast master general for last so his ambush doesn't come to join in the fray. The computer could be tough, but depending on your patron powers (pets, water spouts) I could imagine alot of chaos but should be ok. The AVs might be tough. Rommy has a pretty strong Melee attack. Req should be easier. Maybe pull them down (with spirit shark or nem/black wand).

4th mission: This will be the true test of your testicular fortitude. Shivans, nukes? couldn't hurt. People cycling in and out to get off AS, placate AS, with one well build /SR, /Nin, /Energy Aura stalker trying to 'tank' rommy. I think you will have alot of nasty team wipes. Good news, you can always Ozone to get more insp or head to base to get base buffs because you wont have any heroes on the team to force the disband.

A cheap way to go if all else fails is to nem staff/black wand the nicutus to death. Might be fun to try stack blinding powder and see if you can confuse Rommy into attacking his own nicti.


Good luck, sounds like it will be alot of fun and mayhem.

Why do you insist upon not counting thumbs as fingers. They have 4 fingers and everyone knows they had the 5th finger removed so they couldnt accidently flip off some poor child.

Gratz to @xury. He ended up winning Melee Madness and 100million influence.

Nice run, thanks for the invite Viv.

If you aren't full, I will also help your masters run.

Just let me know what you might need and if there is room

Cool thanks Kong.

Happy Birthday Madame Pistacio!

We met over a discussion of the merits or lack there of, of candy corn.
You gave me a reason to come back home to Victory.
You introduced me to some of the best players I know.
You taught me the magic of 45% def.
You have made me and many others better players.
You help me to design and run speed ITFs and Lady Greys.
Most of all, you made the game fun again.
For all these reasons and many more I am gratful to have met you.




Your Number One Fan,

The Masque.

Thats too bad, you will be missed.

Cool , now get Deadly, Icy, LT, Random and the rest to come too.

Who?

Nivra, yeah I got the funds ready for you.

VV- lolwot?

Penny- My best melee character is a spines/regen, I can kill most brutes but I lack the spiking power to defeat any well built /regen.

Hope we have a great turnout for this

Thats a great question Scooter, after some debate we decided to not allow Banes/Night Widows to participate in this event. While most of their attacks are melee, they do have some pretty strong ranged attacks and it would be difficult to make sure that people's builds were actually NW vs Fort and Bane vs Huntsman, or such.

I am fairly sure that the 'hot zones' battles are random. So yes at times one faction will win the zone even if there is no one in Sirens.

Flux beat me too it.

TT boo.

Indeed, I'm sure fun will be had by all. GL HF Champion

Honestly, its the one time I would want to have a FF running that repel bubble. The Traitors ranged attacks lack the -def debuff that makes them so deadly in melee.

No wai! I used to live in Portland Maine.

Yes, I believe there are 5 stages if you want to call them that of zone control.

Neutral- No faction is winning, neither 'store' will sell temp powers
+1 Blue- Heroes are winning, the 'store' will sell tier 1 temp powers (emp glove, webnades, raptor pack, jaunt initalizer,low G pack)
+2 Blue- Heroes are firmly winning the zone, the 'store' will sell tier 2 temp powers (cryonite armor, stealth suit, stun grenades, IR goggles)
+1 Red- Villians are winning the zone- Store will sell tier 1 temps
+2 Red- villians are winning the zone- Store will sell tier 2 temps

Sorry I am not sure about the tiering of villian temps- I know they get all the travel ones the heroes get as well as Kinetic sheild, arachnos mace, venom grenade, smoke bomb.
