Its freaken scare how fast a team of stalkers can do a mission man!

because the Blaster didn't get DOs until 17 either.


[/ QUOTE ]

And now they get YTs at 17 two!!! OR YOs as somecall them.. Even tho there are called Yin tailsman.....

God damnit! I can't win can I???? NEXT TUESDAY 7:30.. BE THERE!

WOuld a person combined with a plant be able to join?

DEFIANT.. 7:30 TUESDAY... THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN MADE!

I made a stalker because it was an outlet for the lack of ninjitsu style powersets for scrappers and was bored by all the other powersets. Surprised cryptic never pick up on the fact that two ats that only have 4 powersets.. it might not be the best idea to have an overlap.. easier to get bored..

Shall we try this properly when the test server is up or just do it on the normal servers next tuesday?

We still doing this today?

[ QUOTE ]
Global channel idea easiest method to collect people on live servers, although I personally dont have any room extra channels.. and I know im not alone.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not even on the test server?

Wow never knew it was used that much.

What about tuesday night so we don't interfere with the arena?

OK so is everyone ok with the plan? I will log in a bit early on the test to create the global channel.

And no volunteers for the sg idea? should we scrap it?

[ QUOTE ]
Wouldn't the easiest solution be get people to state their toon, server and prefered day here,

[/ QUOTE ]

We could do that but I stated the reason why I prefered to do it in person here.

[ QUOTE ]
As doing it over the forumn would take too much time for my attetnion span to take, plus some people seem to not read the boards fully, and then there is derailment to consider.

[/ QUOTE ]

If everyone would prefer it the way you suggest so be it.

[ QUOTE ]
Regarding communication can't we just use arena chat on test? Or set up a new global channel?

[/ QUOTE ]

I had thought of that, I think we should make a global channel on the actual servers as well. Doing it as a sg was just to get rough numbers, i guess. Don't want a case of 5 people defiant and 20 on union type thing.

Any other ideas, or problems?

[ QUOTE ]
they don't give away anymore!


[/ QUOTE ]

Ya they do! You get 3millon for starting a SG and 20000 for being teh first member?

Other than that you could always just stand near us and use local chat. Its not mandatory. It just helps get things running smoother.

[ QUOTE ]
My heroes are already in SG's. I'm not going to drop those to join one just to arrange a PvP event,

[/ QUOTE ]

Make another copy of them is the easiest solution. Yes you can do this, they just appear like this UltraNova1, UltraNova2, UltraNova3.

Any other problems with monday?

As the OP as I am getting called I will attemp to answer some questions concerning the idea!

[ QUOTE ]
a.) arranging it on test server is..self-defeating goal because you'd be aiming simply to get higher amount of participants when people from both servers would join. The result would not say much about state of RV on either server alone.

b.) arranging it at the same time as the test server pvp night cannot be anything but damaging to both events. No matter which way you look at it.


[/ QUOTE ]

1) Only the intital Monday will be on the test to see what kind of turn out we can get. I would love it to be on the live servers, for sure, but I wanna make sure its not just me and someother guy on Defiant and twenty people on Union. As doing it over the forumn would take too much time for my attetnion span to take, plus some people seem to not read the boards fully, and then there is derailment to consider. The Test RV night is just to better plan it. I don't wanna over plan it, but under planning it will probably lead to its death, faster than a Heavy one shotting Sliver Weasel.

2) True I was unaware of the arena night, but as I said The Monday can be changed, and hopefuly will accroding to server. It will start on Monday, but maybe next week, defiant says ok, we take tuesday you take thursday? Or we start at 8 on Friday, and Unionites say 7 on Sunday. Thats why some organisation is needed.

[ QUOTE ]
More than likely, but then this is going to be a regular event and I needed to arrange it for a time that I can consistantly make.

[/ QUOTE ]

Perhaps we could help plan a Royal Rumble type event monthly once this gets off the ground! As sure a weekly event will help boost your monthly one, by getting more people to join. Tho I would imagaine it would have to be on the test So union villains and deiant villains could fight their server hero counter-parts.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, I forgot to mention before, I won't bother showing up on test. Again, if you want to generally increase the zone's population, an isolated weekly event on test probably won't help much,

[/ QUOTE ]

Please do try or I'll PM you what days the defiant or union day will be if you can't. I chose monday because I thought there would be a few more lvl 40s to join us after the double exp event and maybe even encourage people to get there lvl 38s to 40 for it!

[ QUOTE ]
A weekly one is too much for my tastes, but if people want to give it a go then good on them!


[/ QUOTE ]

True but then again you don't need to show up every week! Maybe for some a monthly event isn't often enough. Personally the reason I chose weekly was to promote the use of the zone so it seems more full throughout the week, rather than just one day a month. Feel free to only come once, twice or only three times a month! But there is the advantage, if you are a "hardcore" pvp and fancy doing pvp 4 times a month with a good turn you can, and if you only pvp causally then you can come only once a month.


[ QUOTE ]
And just having a day and time decided on takes little organisation, so no one really needs to head it up

[/ QUOTE ]

The advantages of having "head" organisers are to filter throught suggestions and give out announcements, in no way do I want this to be a position of power. it maybe a one off postion if it is felt its not needed, but even the most casual social events need some form of organiser.

Speaking of organising I will be making a SG called "Hero Defiant" and inviting everyone from defiant to it, just to get some rough numbers on how many people we have, and to discuss when we on defiant want to have our day.

Can I have three volunteers to make "Hero Union" sg and invite all the Unionites, and Two villains to make "Villian Defiant, and Union" the "leaders" of that sg can them met up and talk about which days the servers agree to do it on.
Example:
SG D: We said we can probably meet friday or sat
VG D: Ya we said Sat or Sunday
SG U: Ok Then we said SUn or MOnday
VG U: We agreed Monday or Tuesday
SG D: Ok then Defiant Sat, Union Mon?
VG U: Sounds great!

Que bridger annoucing it and we off!

Could everyone also Put what servers your on or wish to play in your descripton. Just to make things ru more smoothly?

Example:
UltraNova lvl 43 Defiant

The point of holding the first meeting on the test was to see what kinda of a turn out we could hope to expect. And to settle some of the agruements if people wanted to pursue that.

As I mentioned the later Mondays will be on the normal servers, with a few "Head" Organisers to help smooth things along, and people to delegate PMs too, choose a time and day that suited there server best, and what day monthly event can be arranged based on server not forumn.Just because we start on monday doesn't mean 6 weeks later we can't have Monday/thursday 8o'clock defiant, tuesday/friday 7:30 Unions, so people can still farm if they wanna the other days without getting ganked, and we could use the pvp zone to well pvp. Maybe even have a monthly test server day were we all go at it! RV monthly Royal Rumble. And mayber villain/hero hunting days once a month, for those who like pvp and badges?

So what about 7o'clock to 9:30 this coming monday on the test server just to try things out? Then I will gladly take on the role of one of the "Head" organisers for defiant if no one wants to, and someone can volunteer to be one of Unions?

And don't worry the "head" organisers main job, in my idea, is just to listen to all the ideas of what days and hours people wanna play and then disscuss it with there union counter part. Heck we could vote for them if we want.

Either way, we can decide things like this later...

Everyone ok for 7ish to 9ish ( for RPers sake, we can stay if we wanna) on the test monday?

I think the solution is to have it on the test so we can all join in, it means also we won't have farming to complain about.

Or we could set it up on both servers. I would organise Defiant and someone could organise it on Union (as i don't have a lvl 40 there yet!)

Either or I'm good all day monday Defiant or test.

Shall we say try it on test first and then seperate to The proper servers after we delegate whos willing to organise things and if there is enough people on each server? That way we can get non forumn pvp regulars to join in!

Soo... to stop my jibber jabber

Monday 6:30, RV, Test Server< be there or be ganked by a puppy!

In order to try and sovle a problem in RV, I would like to arrange a weekly day where we pvpers go to RV and slug it out. If we schdule it, then I believe we have a better chance of getting at least a half full Zone?

SO MY PVP BRETHEN WHO WILL STAND WITH ME?

Hello! We are the Militia, a 6 month old IC/RP SG, and we are looking for new members! We team regularly, in character, at least once a week. The enviroment is friendly and no idea is too stupid! All you need to join is a imagination, a good RP character, and the ability to show up on our Thursday night meet ups once and a while! We are looking for people to join us in time for the Double exp weekend to contribute to a story-line we have called "New Blood". Any level of character is welcome but, I would recomend one around lvl 12 up as we are doing some Trials and Task forces as part of this Story-line ( note your character doesn't need to be that high until the event)! You can either meet us on Thursday tonight or next week, at the starglazer girl in atlas, or you can send an appilcantion and learn more about us on our forumn and website!!

The in-game version of adamantium is proto-steel.. we don't want a lawsuit..again


Hyper Drive

Pinball: Hyper Drive uses his speed it run inbetween opponents punching them each as he goes. Minor to moderate smashing damage

Vibrating: Single target melee attack. By vibrating fast enough Hyper Drive can cause damage and melt near by objects.

Agile,Dodge,Evasive quickness: As a speedster hyper drive has the SR autos.

Hyper Sonic Punch: this would be the equal of a single target nova with a massive AoE knockback, but drains almost all of his health and endurance. By running at top speed and impacting a target, he can do insane damage to the target and himself.

Em-pulse

Electric Aura : Can concetrate and illuminate the Bio-electrical Auras of living things around him temporarily. Perception and acc boost clicky.

Electro-magnetism: Same as The gravity single target hold

Ambient Absorbtion: Em-pulse constantly Absorbs electrical energies around him, even from peoples Bio-electrical fields. Small resistance and defense to energy, minor end drain to friend and foe.

Recharge: Can recharge himself by coming into near contact of a energy source and can also boostthe out put of machines and other energy users. End gain over time near tech objects, tech hero damage boost.

Fear of water: When in contact with water, Em-pulse becomes depowered . End lost over time when in contact with water.

Jupiter Lighnting: Single Target Massive damage or chance of instant KO. All health and Endurance drain to 1.
Em-pulse gathers energy then fires off a bolt of lightning as powerful as the postively charged bolts on the planet jupiter. This however takes everything out of him.

Hello can i join, and does it have to be animals or are plants and insects allowed?

Another good thing about nova type nukes. if you find yourself in a near wipedout team and the mobs start attacking you, then hit nova, and hopefully you will kill them or knock'em away so you can run . It doesn't always work but when it does it sure is a cool getaway and reminds me of comic book style last ditch attacks.

And like the man said, use your nuke. For the love of god use it! I too find myself to be the only one using it in teams today. Tho i have been called obessed with novaing, as it do it whenever it recharges....

[ QUOTE ]
When I do go in there I'll be following the rules of the zone and the rules of the game - not the "rules" set by other players who want to restrict how others can play for their own enjoyment and gain

[/ QUOTE ]

If you were refering to me, then dude they were just gudielines, feel free not to follow them what so ever. I just thought that i'd share some tips that made the zone more civil. I didn't make half of them, like i said they seemed to already be there.

I have notice this as well ( more on the exp weekend tho) and just dismissed it as RV having honor among players. There seem to be some form of manners here. My teammate and I were hunting pillbox turrets and some villians showed up, it was nice that we were able to speak and told them that we will not hunt them, and only attack if we go for the same pillbox and when one side wins... ALL bets are off!

This seemed to be alright witht the badgehunters/exp hogs, as they probably saw it as a good compromise, it is a pvp zone and we could have just attacked them flat out till they got fed up and left, but as i said there does seem to be honor here in RV.

Try that next time you go to RV, tell them that when they win or you win ,all truces are off, and you will find most of them are happy to engage in pvp while the zone resets, and this helps keep everyone happy. Lets try and keep this polite pvp continuing!

And so Ultra Novas guidelines to polite PvP!

1. When all the turrets are taken, you must accept that you will be attacked.


2. If some one is turet hunting, let them know you will not hunt them if they leave you alone, however if you meet at teh same turret or if one turret is left feel free to attack the opposition

3. Do not stalk people from turret to turret, if you won a tuurret from a villian or hero complete that turret before chasing the villian. Turret stalking is rude

4. If a large group of peole state they are hunting the AVs then let them be, as a) their number probably will result in you getting "ganked" b) if it hard enought to kill the AVs without you making it harder

5. Non-Pvpers understand that if pvpers are playing the zone properly you will be attack when trying to take turrets, especially taking a non neutral turret. Ask in advance to be left alone or out of the pvp ( not to be hunted) however like i said they may not hunt you they will probably stop you form leting your side win, and they have the right of way to do so.

6. If you know that a particular part of the zone is heavy with Pvpers, don't go there, adn if you do don't to shocked to find you were attacked

7. Remeber this is a Pvp zone first and a badgehuntering zone second, however it is best to go with teh majority. If more badge hunters are there, then wait for the side to win before "rudely attack", and if more pvpers are there let it be know you are badge hunting, but you can't complain if atack, and please don't be rude and call someone a grief, you are in there zone after all

My idea is kinda like :

* que me staring up at teh sky blankly and the camera zooming in to reveal!*

Blitz Arrow: reserve/ Backround charter to main plot or major involvemnet to main story, none other than backround character who pops up to help the mitla in there quest to beat the tsoo

Dragon Fly: active/ Main charter, the plot is part of dragons past catching up with her, testing her new friendships , only the milta can help her defeat "Named TSoo" once and for all!

MAsked Angel: active/ secondary character, she is helping the milta take on the tsoo for dragon, she and dragon have keeped there firendship

Force Commander: active/ main character, dragon flys past has taken its toll on their friendship, and only froces powers/support can truely help dragon defeat there emenies and he is learning to retrust her whilst saving his new friend.

(then again this might be harder than i thought, Maybe just post the active memebrs on here so new comngs can see who the main playes are)

Just a thought before i leave you guys for good, Why not make a Active and reserve list, and what the current story arc/ RP plot and whos in it ( altho i assume that most of the actives would be in the main plot)that you update every two eweeks or so , that way new and old people can keep up to date easier and the new people can have a summarized version before the commit a character?
