The stalkers secondary is not much of a defense imo. Compared to the trusty scrapper who was made to run headlong into mobs and survive. The Stalkers defenses arent up to that job.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ummmm, I disagree with you there, because the Stalker's secondary is the same as the Scrapper's secondary...

What use are powers that call in any of the Scooby Doo gang? They'll just dismiss themselves as soon as trouble starts!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok what is the specialty of the scooby gang? Find a mob, start screaming, do something very annoying then run run run.

Sounds like taunt to me. Very handy power.

Fred - K guys I'll use my Leadership pool to buff the rest of you and I'll probs use one of my awesome AoEs

Daphne - Lol Fred LDRSHIP TEH SUXXORZ! Im a heeler and we are full of awesomeness

Velma - *puts on GR voice* Hate to say it, but continue this arguement and you will be banned. Permemamently.

Shaggy - Lol Velma stop being a big jerk. We all know that the EU servers are too empty to find a new team so why don't you shut up and let NRG Scrapper do the talking!

Velma - Oh, fine, ok Fred runs in and...

Scooby-Doo - LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY!!!

Fred - ZOMG Scoobs just ran in

Velma - Right you fools we have to retreat RUN!!!

Daphne - HEELRS NO RUN! *Daphne runs in*

Scooby - You see daphne is stupider

Shaggy - Hmmm...shouldve let me do that Scoobs!

Velma - IM LEAVING!!!

Fred - I can see teamwipe Im leaving as well

Daphne - Kay guys Ill stat a little while longer

*Hami spawns*

Shaggy - Oh no its the giant egg monster!

*Hami kills Daphne and Shaggy*

Scooby - NOOOOOOOOOVA!!!

*Hami XPLODZ*

Hami - I could've given HEROZ and VILLINZ lots of debt if it wasnt for you meddling Blasters!

I disagree with 12 and 36. I think theyre great. 24 yes it could be better but I think Emergency Base Teleporter could be very useful.

Yeah I guessed that.

Um whats a handbook

[/ QUOTE ]

The Union Universe Handbook, of course!

There's a post about it in the RP forum.

I agree with you there mate, Stalkers are dissapointing. But you say they have no defense. Have you every heard of a Stalker's secondary?

[ QUOTE ]
Or post a physical description of your character giving details on height, weight, eye colour, speech pattern, accent and so forth, with a link underneath to your char's handbook page (if you have one).

[/ QUOTE ]

In-game web broswer links can't happen unfortunately, and not many have a handbook page, it's only the Union RP community. (which comparing to the whole game is quite small)

[ QUOTE ]
What I recently did with someone via private tells is see what they can come up with making suggestions here and there. Their build is more them than me and they did all the work. If they don't like a suggestion they can choose to keep things as is despite me reiterating anything I feel strongly about changing. You or someone would have to come up with a more serious build, as in, slot Stone armour properly like most people would and slot Energy Melee properly like most people would. You can get info from a Stone tank for Stone armour and get info from an /Energy tank for EM and join them together to get started. Your current build is so far off really but if that is deliberate to be insane then I'd advise on letting it stay that way.

[/ QUOTE ]

You make a good point, yes I will try to do that.

But you say to get info from a Stone/ and a /Nrg. But you made a judgement on the build wether it was good or bad, so obviously you are playing a Stone/ or a /Nrg tanker. Wouldn't you start by giving me a little help, then?

Cargo ship? Atlas Park as well.

This is WIN

Chapter 2: A New Idenity, Part I

Alexander Detrich slowly felt the chemicals he had been hiding. Drips of water came out. There was nothing else but the plain feel of simple waterm, mixed with the ash he smelt. In all colours the chemicals were - blue, red, green, orange, black, white, and others.

Meanwhile, William opened the door to his lab - Lab 11 - and lo and behold, his new secret "project" was there. A dead man lay in the giant tank. The "project" seemed idle, but then its head moved. William had never seen this before. It was turning...alive. (homage to Frankenstein, there)

Meanwhile, Alexander picked up one of his chemicals. He had to balance it very carefully. If that thing spilt - who knows what would happen?

Alexander took the chemical and sat it on the experementing table. He was shaking.

But then something dramatic would change his life forever.

A drip of the chemical landed on his foot. Alex's upper lip went up high, as he didn't know what to do with a drip of the chemical on his foot.

Slowly, he put the chemical down, and clicked his teeth together. This was his sign of saying "oh, nuts".

Comment, critize, etc etc!

Good work, I did find a bit out of the action at points, a few paragraphs were just boring and Jessica trying to follow her Dad, next time I think you should try to cut down on parts that seem quite boring that the reader wants to skim through.

Other than that great work! I really enjoyed it and I will definetely read the next part

Mother's put the steel boot of DOOM on this already but although it fits into the concept in reality it's just not fair.

Also, Taxis are only just starting up again. They probably wouldnt be ready to handle all the people.

I have Liquefy for my Ill/Sonic, tbh I don't use it that much but I can be quite useful if the tankers or scrapers can't hold the mob and need to use a heal (/Regen, /Regen!!). Other than that it doesnt do much good.

I am so /signed with this. Just taking a swipe at the US servers for a while would make me happy.

Pretty much PvE build I'm looking for, not intrested in PvP.

An Insane 3 year old would be */Mace.

He is science and if you read my description you'd understand .

I was on a mission with a team, when the team were discussing the plan. I couldn't resist and...
"LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY!! !"

I was surprised to find there was no guides to Stone/Nrg on either here or the US forums, so I popped on Mids and gave it a little build. The build is a bit too expensive for my test, but if figures like "10.9% more HP" and "12% more recovery and 36& more regeneration" are figures that make you shake, check out the rest of the build

OK in this thread I'm going to try to review the "bad" Veteran Rewards that seem to have been made cos the devs didn't have any ideas. I will attempt to make a better idea to replace em. Lets begin.

6 Months: Greek Alphabet
What can I say this is horrible, I have never see any1 use it before and frankly how many people create Greek themed characters.

Idea: Logos. Put logos for NCSoft, City of Heroes, City of Villians, other NCSoft games, etc etc. This would be a lot cooler.

27 Months: Anime-style tech armor
To be frank compare it to real Anime-style tech armor and you get nothing like it. It is just too boring and not unique enough.

Idea: Buttoned Shirts. Allow each button on the shirt to be cuztomizable to everyones taste. Also allow different types of buttoned shirts.

39 Months: Boxing Set
Useless. I can't see a use for a boxing set and at 39 months there should be more adventureous rewards.

Idea: Astronaut set. Imagine it as a real astronaut costume, without the NASA logos and everything. I know I'd use it.

45 Months: NOTHING
Well they should've put something in instead of nothing. Now that we have the opportunity let's suggest something else.

Idea: Mystic Outfit. Similar to CoT costume. All the Magic originers would be happy.

54 Months: Another power not previously selected
It was obvious that the devs were out of ideas. That throws the whole idea of 'PERMAMENT' labelled on the earlier ones.

Idea: Hand of Power - Superior DMG, Chance for Hold, Meele Attack

Does exactly what says above. Some may say its overpowered but to stay 4 yrs and a half you really deserve this.

Hope you enjoy my ideas!

1: Phantom Blue Lvl 50 Ill/Sonic Troller
2: Salamander in Flames Lvl 50 Fire Blaster (can bring other ATs)

In Scotland yes. In many areas of England too. But the Junior School label is used in many places down south.

It's a promising story. I actually quite liked it, in a Golden-agey comic book kind of way. Keep writing.

Try reading the post before responding. I was agreeing with you!

[ QUOTE ]
Also in the national news for all of Britain they call it primary and secondary schools.

[/ QUOTE ]

Uh huh. Again, no denying that fact, but a lot of schools, particularly in the south of England are known as Junior schools.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's really pointless to argue about it, Scotland and some parts of England call it primary and some other parts of England call it Junior. I was just pointing out that to call it Junior school is a bit confusing.

Anyway, sorry for not reading your post correctly.

Then perhaps get someone to proof read for you? Sorry, but these are basic rules you would have learned when you were in junior school!

Tell you what, I'll rewrite it for you to show you what I mean.

*********************************************


Chapter 1

Lab 6

Once again, Alexander Detrich went into the lab. It was Saturday; another simple day at work and he muttered softly to himself as he walked through the corridors. Nobody else worked on a Saturday, except William of course; the lab's flunky. He failed in everything that the lab sent him to do, but you had to feel sorry for the kid. He worked 7 days a week, and was paid minimum wage.

Alexander slowly walked into lab six, and shut the door behind him. Moving over to a locked cabinet, he unlocked it carefully, checking for signs of tampering as he did so, and opened the doors. Inside, several sealed jars rested, filling with a mixture of chemicals, his discovery.

A strange smell permeated the air as he unsealed one of the bottles, not unlike the smell of hot ash, and Alexander wrinkled his nose. He wasn't completely sure what caused the odour, after all; none of the compounds he'd used had a similar odour.


*********************************************

There, see? Much easier to read and understand. I eliminated the part with William because it was totally superfluous, and indeed, the question made absolutely no sense whatsoever. I suggest you look up what the properties of Mercury are, as no scientist would ask such a daft question.

It also had several problems in it which weren't exactly easy to fix. Such as how did Alexander know it was William knocking at the door before answering it? What authority does Alex have to ask what Will was doing out of his lab, if he's just a lab flunky?

The piece needs a lot more to it also; where you left it, and indeed where I left it also, is pretty much still at the very start of whatever is going on. This isn't a chapter; it's not even a page. Before posting, you need to give your stories some kind of substance, some reason to make the reader WANT to come back to read more, and your story doesn't have ANY of that.

I suggest that before you post any more fiction, you actually finish it first. At the very least, write a complete chapter, giving each a proper closing or break point, rather just leaving it dangling nowhere.

1. Junior school? That's not even right. It's not even British or American. It's called...urm...primary school.

2. He was a flunky, flunkies are supposted to be stupid. Yes, it was a daft question...but he was supposted to be stupid.

3. If you saw someone out of work and chatting to their colleagues when they were supposted to be working, wouldn't you ask them to get back to their work?

4. As has been said a chapter doesn't need to be a page and all, I've read books where chapters are half a page, and even shorter.

5. At the start of the book do you really expect 150 pages, it's a introduction to the story, when you read a story you get the details of who the people are and a taster of what might happen in the rest of the story, think of it as the first step.

I am trying to take your advice on board, but it feels a bit problematic because of what I've just said ^.
