Tufty

You can look at a list of SG's by going to the SG registrar is Atlas Hall (you can sort this list by prestige with should give you a good indication of how active the SG is). Theres the odd site aswell which some SGs sign up to ( Super Group Hub is one I think). Other than that it depends what you want to do. I always believe that looking at member activity on the forums is a good indication as to the type of people you can expect to see within that SG, are they helpful on the boards etc.

It does seem (as long as everyone who has expressed an interest shows up) that you will have enough for 2 teams. Seem to be quite evenly balanced aswell in terms of lvl range, got enough lvl 40-45s to make one team and enough 46s-50s to make enough. If its possible (I don't know how the shard tfs work) its probably best to have the teams split within these lvl ranges. For those early 40s (especially those in the coalition) I'm quite happy to try and organise something else if we can't for any reason get onto this tf. Either the 1st TF or a simple AV mission run. I'll be there on Sunday anyway

I can bring Tufty along if you want me to. Not in the same lvl range as you at the moment though (only lvl 41) so would probably need sk, so I don't mind if you want to add me to a reserve list and wait to see if you get more people around your level

Yeah would be more useful. Personally I think all hazard zones should have a teleport beacon which needs to be earnt in some way (perhaps introducing different trials or task that need to be done within that zone instead of just collecting badges in SG mode). I also think its disappointing you can't access any zone from the base that has a base portal in it, i.e. you enter base from Kings Row but can exit to Founders. Its got a portal there so can't see why you can't do it. Even if they introduced some type of badge for this, perhaps on the completion of an SG tf, you get plans to make an advanced base portal which technically acts like a train. Even 2 or 3 badges, 1st unlocking yellow line zones, 2nd green line, 3rd everything else. Think it'd make the bases alot more useful.

I was comparing dark consumption with conserve power (as they are both a way of recovering/managing end) and according to my figure CP had double the recharge time as DC, so taking that into consideration DC doesn't seem that bad.

Wasn't even considering taking OG, just because I can lock things down with fearsome stare or petrifying gaze, so can't really see a situation were'd I'd need a mass disorient. I do like darkest night herding for nuking so the dark shield does should like it'd come in useful (I think I'm right in saying it resists more types of dmg than temp inv).

So still can't decide.. I am leaning towards dark now, for concept aswell as usefulness for what I want. Guess I'll have to try out the test server and see Thanks for the replys all

There is also one for Creys Folly, so 7 in total. Sadly that is all there is at the moment though.

Yeah found out the /stuck or clicking on Add Personal Item fixes it.

Did put a few items in the entrance (desks and stuff) so guess I'll have to redesign it

Thanks for the reply

Don't know if anyone else has experience this but last night I completely gutted our base and rebuilt it. Now for some reason whenever someone enters the player gets stuck within the cylinder area of the base portal. This happened to anyone else before?

Well I'm slowly reaching lvl 50 and just wondering if someone could give me advice on epic powers.

Now my main power sets are dark/dark and from where I want to go with Tufty I've decided that either Power or Dark mastery would suit. But can't really decide which (although I did select Power Mastery at lvl 41 but I have 2 unused respecs I can use).

The main reasons why I've decided to take either power or dark are 1) I'm a very offenderish player. I like to blast away and do some damage. Because of this it seems that either power build-up or soul drain would help in increasing my damage output. I'm guessing that soul drain is similar to a kinetics fulcrum shift, any one have any idea what kind of extra dmg you can get from it? Power Build Up seems useful because, unlike soul drain you don't need to be surrounded by enemies and it enhances more than damage, downside is it has double to recharge time and doesn't last very long.

Becuase my play style involves alot of jabbing buttons I do sometimes find myself running low on end, especially when soloing. By taking either power or dark mastery, conserve power/dark consumption would help with this. As with build up, good thing about conserve power is you don't need to be surrounded by enemies for it to be effective but it has a very long recharge time compared to dark consumption, which in order to fully benefit from you need alot of enemies near.

So thats basically it. At the moment I'm trying out power mastery although I'm very tempted now to switch to dark mastery. I enjoy being in the middle of the battles so having enough enemies around to make the powers useful shouldn't be a problem and its also better for concept reasons But does anyone have any useful information, advice, previous experinance with both?

Another question I've got is how essential are the epic shields (3rd tier powers) or the epic pools. Is it advisable to get one or can it be avoided?

Depending on how late you go til and if there is a sk available I'll try and bring Tufty along for all your accuracy debuffing/tar patching/blackstaring/healing needs Not likely to be on til about 10:30pm Friday night though so if you are still by then I'll pop in and lend a hand

I spotted there was a Tufty on the boards shortly after I posted Part 4.

*cough*

Tomorrow should not be a problem. Play in an all defender team on Tuesdays as Syphusion, is in SNHS so if I'm not about as Tufty just give me a shout over coalition chat

I know bloody bay was mentioned but really that all depends on how many villains are around at the time which we cant really plan for.

Standoff has posted a thread about the badge mission about a page back, at the moment stand, myself and lumi have put our names down so still plenty of room.

[edit] Thread Here

Not sure what the plan is for tomoro but with dave away I'm guessing we arn't going to be doing much, if any, of the tf so.. Tufty has been after the spelunker badge for a few weeks now and Standoff has kindly offered me a place on his mission, I've agreed to do it at 8:30pm on Tuesday (tuesday is the only time I can really commit to be on later than 8:30 so was the best day to suggest) so will be cutting my time short by half hour this week in order to get the badge, if there are no objections

Just read on Vidiot's that it is another healing badge. The one after robo-surgery so it needs alot of healing to unlock

Its an SG badge afaik. How you get it, I don't know. SNHS could do with it aswell though

if its xD I always assumed it was like a smiley. Big grin, squinty eyes etc.

If it means something else I dont know about it xD.

lol.. you may want to edit your signature there vDs

If you are looking for a home for your defender then you are welcome to give SNHS a try. As we the other SG's in the 1AT coalition we rely on them to be active in order to get good teams, but with alot of players in each SG there is normally always someone around to talk to

We currently have about 7 or 8 lvl 50s with a quite a few other active peeps in the other lvls ranges (21-30, 31-44 etc).

Base is about as functional as we can get at the moment. Have 2 TP'ers, medi bay with auto doc and are currently working towards the next healing badge (just under half way there) and saving up prestige for a bigger plot.

1AT's don't always appeal to everyone and we do rely alot on the coalition being active but if you'd like to give us a try then you can contact Tufty, Monsoon, Afro Storm, Raylin, Dark Dominator or Radiotherapy for an invite

I'm not desperate for it.. just know that I need that badge for the accolade. I'm not a badge junky so not too bothered about it. If I am around though and you feel like quickly running through it at the weekend or something then give me a shout

Are you rescheduling for another time?

And yes, it does sound like Aero's fault

grats to both

was going to put 2 of those in within the next few lvls.. kind of need more slots as it is

although I guess with DN running def debuff may be the better option first..

ok heres my new planned build up to lvl 18

Archetype: Defender
Primary Powers - Ranged : Radiation Emission
Secondary Powers - Support : Radiation Blast

01 : Neutrino Bolt dam(01) dam(5) dam(11)
01 : Radiation Infection thtdbf(01) thtdbf(3) endred(7) thtdbf(9)
02 : Accelerate Metabolism recred(02) recred(3) endrec(9) endrec(17)
04 : X-Ray Beam dam(04) dam(5) dam(13)
06 : Irradiate dam(06) dam(7) dam(11)
08 : Enervating Field endred(08)
10 : Assault endred(10)
12 : Lingering Radiation slw(12) slw(13) recred(15)
14 : Tactics thtbuf(14) endred(15)
16 : Maneuvers endred(16) defbuf(17)
18 : Choking Cloud endred(18)

I've bought in assault, tactics and maneuvers, instead of radiant aura, electron haze and combat jumping.

I've not taken anything to get stamina, I only tend to run out when not speed boosted and AM, RA etc should help once slotted with SO's aswell, plus we have transference to come aswell

Not taken any kind of travel power either. I'm sure I can get around ago with SB and IR, plus we have a couple of TP'ers if needed.

Not taken any heals or rez, mutation may be an option later on if we get a volunteer to become our killing machine (/me looks in Skewers direction ) but I don't tend to use my heal that often.

No acc's slotted.. unsure if I will need them or not. With all the tactics running is it worth putting the acc slot in there?

Gekho has invite privs aswell altho getting Tufty to 50 before the summer is my main prioritory

Crossfire, if you get really stuck and want the drag a sonic/cold corrupter along with you then give me a shout and I'll gladly help where I can
