Valiant

We were lucky to have you, Zwill. See you somewhere awful

Don't make me kick you.

The Impervium Collective is recruiting members. We're a light RP SG, dedicated to wiping out the Rikti and generally being robotic jerks. Just starting out, we're working on leveling, running missions and TF's. Currently accepting any and all Technology Origin characters.

If interested, send a tell to @Valiant, @Celtic Runner, @Delta 39, @Aztek Thunder, @Flashenatrix, or @Seido1

Ok, which one of you took the name Valiant while I was gone? That's not funny people.

... I am at a loss for words.
The fact that Safety Dance was playing while I read this made it all the more Glorious.

Yeah, I'm hoping Valiant can get a Title change, since He's "The Legendary Unbreakable", but I would like to set "Unbreakable" as his badge without it sounding redundant.

I'll add myself to the list of people whose end keeps poofing, at first I thought that It was all the Carnies I was fighting, but last week, I noticed my end was running out every fight with no end drain, fighting DE in the Crash Site.

I though it was my slotting, as my i7 respec hadn't really been tested against anything other then Carnival at that point. But tonight, I watch my end bar like a hawk, the results were... perplexing... It seemed that my attacks and shields would randomly forget that they had end-redux in them! For bursts of about two to three minutes, all my powers would be at full cost.

Since I had an empath with me, I did another test about something that had seemed off to me. After being hit with AB, I fought until they wore out.

While active my end was, as to be expected, inexhaustible. However, as soon as AB ran out, my end slammed down to zero in only six attacks.

Six attacks, plus my shields, used up 110 endurance from a character with three-slotted stamina. Not only did they seem to cost the normal, un-enhanced amount, they seemed to cost extra. After about thirty seconds, my end regen returned to normal and the costs went back down.

I have no idea what is causing this bug… and I know this probably isn’t very helpful, but it’s damned irritating. Just thought I should share.

Also, I want Requiem's clothes.

You can't have them.

... If you could I'd have to re-do that sketch.

RV has shown me that Soul Transfer can be useful in PvP.
Useful as in completely destroying Masterminds and their pets all at once.

It has become apparent that Deathless, the 4th debt badge, is required for the High Pain Threshhold accolade.

Please don't do this. Some of us actually try NOT to die in this game

[/ QUOTE ]
Sucky though it may be, I have to point out one thing, Deathless isn't for Debt. It is for number of deaths.
I'd be damn impressed if you've dodged that one all the way through the game.

[ QUOTE ]
whoever posted earlier bout gettin in melee range attacking and not getting any defiance yet you are at under 50% well guess what...im not even a blaster and i know that if you attack it uses up defiance

[/ QUOTE ]
No it doesn't. Attacking doesn't use it up, getting health uses it up.

From what I have noticed, The Damage bonus kicks in two seconds AFTER it is shown.
If I get dropped to 1 hp, then heal to full, then fire off an attack, I will be at the 500% cap.
If I get dropped to 1 Hp, then fire as soon as I my Defiance bar fills, I will get no bonus at all.

I tested for about an hour with my blaster and a tall building tonight, same thing each time: two second time delay.

First...I confirm that we're working on right now (as in pohsyb in the next room) to add CoV costume parts into CoH if you own both games....

Then we repeal the hated stealth nerf. The reason why: many well reasoned posts. It's that simple. You guys pointed out the problems.

AND now...we're changing the way Archvillains spawn. A ton of forum goers disliked adding so many AV's into missions a while back...so we've come up with a solution. If the team size and mission difficulty are ABOVE a certain level, an Archvillain spawns. Below that, players will face only an Elite Boss. If the mission is set on the first two levels of difficulty, it takes 4 heroes or more to spawn an Arch Villain. On the third level, 3 heroes or more. On the fourth level, 2 heroes. On the highest (Invincible), a solo hero will spawn an AV. Note this works in BOTH City of Heroes and Villains.

In order to incentivize larger teams, Positron is going to add a bonus to AV rewards!

I LOVE YOU ALL

Huh... guess I'm just nuts...

And wasn't Revive number 7 on that lovely little list before? Did they jumble the Regen order?

My Villain, Panarchist, was held under the Zig, not as a Prisoner.
Though he did have to make a stop inside while being freed to get his limbs.

If I remeber correctly.
The Warriors give the Outcasts Artifacts to enhance their powers, who in turn give some to the Hellions.

The Family give Trolls guns and Skulls vhemicals, which are turned into 'Dyne and sold to the Troll in exchange for guns.

The Family and the Warriors are locked in a feud, abd as such their little minions fight each other too.

I thought Gardvords were just LTs and Ogres and Calibans were the bosses....

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, they are. I just checked in-game just now.

Despite that little mistake, it still was pretty interesting. I'm particularly interested in the Troll Arch-Villain that's hinted at in Atta's file. Could that be Grendel, who we've heard the Trolls talking about but have never seen?

[/ QUOTE ]
Grendal is supposed to be dead. Atta killed him with his bare hands in the middle of the Glutch to finalize his control over the trolls.

Valiant floated along, keeping himself at a pace Panda could jog along side to.
"Don't worry,” he said, "the surface is just up this pipe, then we can catch up with Billy and Mutai."
ThumpThumpThump
Panda Doll's normal levels of self control slip. She was a Martial Artist, Cool and collected, but she couldn't suppress a small bit of excitement about finally getting her target.
Valiant paused in mid flight.
Did her heart rate just increase? Normal now... but I could have sworn it jumped...
Something seemed odd to him. This girl stood spying on Nemesis without so much as flinching, yet acted fearful when he spoke to her. At first he thought it shock at being found, but now...
The two of them quickly made it out of the pipe. The fresh air a sweet relief from the sewer.
She was in contact with someone whom I've met before... I smell traces of a scent. But the sewer has masked it... I should keep a close eye on her...

Valiant stood on the ceiling over Nemesis. He knew he couldn't attack right now, too many troops around. The cloaking device he had on him was only a prototype he had made for an emergency, and it only had five minutes of use left.
Looks like I should be making my quick getaway... wait, who's that?
A girl crouched on a landing just beneath Valiant, but she was only reflecting infrared light...
Nemesis doesn't have and invisible troops... This could be a problem...
He floated down next to the girl and leaned in.
"From what I heard in the last fifteen minutes. We need to leave. Now."

Valiant laid in a heap on the ground, his arm torn off again and dents all over his body. Vim walked off smugly, her fight apparently finished.
"Hehehe...."
Vim spun around, her heel cutting a quick line in the earth.
"You just don't get it, do you? I am the Legendary Unbreakable Valiant. UNBREAKABLE."
Vim was furious, she had torn his arm clear off and beaten him into the dirt, how could he be standing?
"This time, it's my turn." He said as a broad, mildly demented smile creped across his face. Arm sliding into its socket, dents popping back out.
"Ready?"
He flew forward at top speed arm reaching out for Vim. She ducked the blow with as much speed as she could muster, only adding force to the well placed kick slamming into her chin.
Her head was thrown up, back into the path of Valiant's outstretched hand.
She punched and kicked at Valiant, but to no avail, he drove the back of her head into the ground and dragged her forward at high speed.
"I'm finishing this, I have more important work do to."
He threw her into the air in front of him, grabbing her ankle.
"And to think, Billyboy almost let you beat him.
He smashed he against the side of a bus station, shattering the glass and sending her sprawling into the street.
"Sorry about that, but I really didn't have time to play nice."
Vim rolled over and gurgled.
She would have revenge.

Valiant's eyes snapped open.
"What just... I... What?"
He was, to say the least, a little disoriented. He sat up lopsided.
"Funny... I could've sworn a I had an arm there earlier..."
He glanced around at the crater around him.
"Guess it's a good thing Positron had Steel evacuated..."
He walked over to him arm, placing it back on his shoulder. He felt it re-knit with a light whirr. An angry figure at the side of the crater caught his eye.
"Why, hello Vim..."
He smiled; finally he was going to get some action.

Valiant floated Idly after Billyboy and Mutai Kid, waiting for the two giving chase to catch up. The last time he had attacked one she was taken out before he could even connect a hit.
"Looks like they're ok now... guess I should stick around anyway..."
((OOC: Valiant is an MA/Invuln with the leadership, flight, and fitness pools, I can't get on the forums for too much time due to a weird schedule, so feel free to use him as you will… Will have more time after my finals finish up.))

"Right, I'm on it. Get the ETA or whatever on support." Billyboy said as he shot off into the sky. He knew the general direction of Positron, he could sense his defining energy signal, and he set off quickly, staying close to a skyscraper to avoid snipers. This proved a folly move, however, as something grabbed a fistful of his hair and held tight, causing him to yelp in pain as he turned around.

Billyboy's fists lit up with whirling energy, but they quickly returned to normal as he examined his assailent. She had to be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen! She had silky black hair done into a pony tail, but with her bangs falling free over her smooth face, reaching just underneath her eyes. She was tall for a girl, nearly Billyboy's height, with what Billyboy considered to be the perfect figure. Just the right amount of the perfect figure, which was accented by a black and red miniskirt and matching tank top.

"I'm sorry!" the girl yelled, putting her hands up in surrender. "I was just trying to get your attention! My name's Jessy, well, my hero name's Vim. I've was fighting for a little bit, trying to get the people safetly out of this building, but I got overwhelmed and ended up way up here, and they're coming for me! I don't know how to fly and I don't know if I can take a fall that long, please help!"

Billyboy simply stared at her for a moment longer.

"I'm sorry about pullling your hair, please help!" she pleaded again.

Billyboy suddenly processed what she had just said and his eyes widened. "Baby, with a body like that you can touch me anywhere." he replied with a smile. "Let's get you outa here."

Vim giggled and jumped into his waiting arms. "You're not the subtle one, are you?" she laughed.

"I'm a man of action, if you catch my drift." Billyboy replied slyly.

Vim laughed again. "That's the kind of guy I like!" she joked. "Shouldn't we be getting a move on? Where were you headed, anyway?"

Billyboy cleared his head with a vigorous shake and smiled again. "Lost track of things there for a second, I'm heading to see Positron about reinforcements or something for this big Nemesis attack. I was fighting in Blyde Square, cleared it practically by myself. I've been giving Nemmy trouble ever since I got here, it's great. I've beaten on the loser so many times I'm surprised he'd even show his ugly face again!"

"Big hero then, huh?" Vim asked. "I like you tank types, it's good to have a little protection aside from my innate invulnerability!"

"Maybe we could get to know each other better over a mission?" Billyboy said with a roguish grin. "We can take down a few Kronos titans and see where that takes us."

"I'd like that." Vim smiled. "Except you're not going to live to do another mission, much less see the end of this day."

"What?!" Billyboy said, startled.

"Why don't I show you?" Vim laughed as she grabbed the hero around the throat and punched him in the face at the exact same moment she kicked him in the crotch. Billyboy's eyes crossed in pain and he began plummeting toward the ground, his concentration on flying lost. He came to his sense a second later, but one bad thing about his energy powers was that he couldn't go airborne unless he was on a flat surface he could transfer energy into. There are no flat surfaces in the air.

Vim laughed and wrapped her arms around Billyboy's head as she set her feet against his neck. They landed on the ground with a thud, her full momentum nearly crushing the hero's windpipe despite his energy shield. Vim didn't let up as Billyboy coughed as gasped for air, however, she kept punching and kicking him like a wild animal, determined to beat him to death.

"Stupid stupid stupid stupid!" Vim laughed as Billyboy took hit after hit. "You see a pretty girl and lose all sense, just like all of you over-sexed teenage idiots! Nemesis watched you, Billyboy, he knew what you liked. And then he hired me, just to assassinate you. Gawd, you are such a stupid [censored]!"

Billyboy's fist connected solidly with Vim's face, sending her sprawling backwards as he quickly got to his feet. She jumped at him immediatly, her foot leading in a nasty kick, but he grabbed it and used the girl's own momentum to fling her into a nearby building with a smack. She dusted herself off and charged again, this time solidly connecting with the hero's face. Billyboy felt the full force of the super powered blow and was sent barrelling backwards, crashing into the ground and skidding several feet.

"You can't beat me!" Vim screamed as she ran at him.

"YOU MONOLOUGE TOO MUCH!" Billyboy bellowed as he met her with a punch to the face, transferring as much energy as possible into her. They both screamed, Vim from the pain and Billyboy from the pain of sending so much energy into her.

The bruised Billyboy collapsed onto the ground in a crumpled heap, unable to stay conscious after exerting himself so much and taking such a terrible beating. Vim swayed in place and stumbled from the pain, but she was strong and could take a lot of damage, she wouldn't go down that easy.

"So ends the saga of Billyboy." Vim spat as she kicked his nearly lifeless form into a pile of rubble. "I did it. Nobody else could. Not Dr. Phillis, not Nemesis, not Dreck or Vahzilok or any of those other losers! I did it!"

Vim sneered in victory and she took a mighty leap and landed with a mighty kick onto Billyboy's chest. A fountain of blood seemed to suddenly errupt from his mouth, covering his chin and neck.

"It's too bad." Vim said as she lifted her foot to finish the hero. "You're kind of cute. I might of taken you up on your offer if we'd met in different circumstances."

Valiant dusted his hands off, walking away from the ruined heap of Nemesis behind him.
"Really, who build robots out of Brass? Might as well throw soda cans at me!"
He froze in place, having taken a quick look to his left.
"That doesn't look good..."
A Dark haired girl was flying through the air, fists raised at a prone Billyboy, shouting something villainous.
Valiant was off like a rocket, winding himself up for a powerful kick into the girl.
If he was gonna make it, it was gonna be close.
