Wamdue_EU

I know I left before and came running back to the game (I just couldn't stay away!)

But now the wife's gone and got herself with one in the oven and I won't have the time (or the money!) to continue with CoH/CoV.

Subs runs out at the end of the month, so just wanted to say thank you again to everyone old and new on the game. Especially all the members of Super Villains Inc and my old mates Epic, Sulphur, Cliff and Max.

I may return in a few years time with a tiny sidekick

Anyway, instead of a sad leaving post I thought I'd organise a hamistyle supersized Bloody Bay encounter to take place at the end of the month. Post to sign up, whether you know me or not!

With the amount of buffs from Rad/Emp/Kin defenders you shouldn't need recharge SOs in any of your holds.

With how quickly Wamdue's single target hold was cycling on the first Hami-Raid I didn't get a chance to use any other power it was just non-stop one after another.

and That extra little percentage across 20 controller adds up and does make a difference.

Try it, at lvl 50(ish) most people can afford to change a couple of slots for the sake of a hami raid.

The biggest problem we've had with holding him in the past, is people not slotting there holds/epic holds for Hold duration and nothing else.

People seem convinced that having a couple of accuracy/recharge SOs in there are going to give them a better return, which in normal PvE is correct, but against Hami it's duration that counts.

I'm not saying it's 100% the reason, and I'm sure ED nerfed the raid plans pretty hard. But might be something to communicate well to the next batch of trollers who take on the big lump.

Just because I never PvPed with you, doesn't mean I never did it.

And she still lives on the Test server.

Dominators and Controllers are the gits of the battlefield.

I know, because I have one of each.

I didn't think Tech items ran off of Arcane power and vice versa?

Yes they do, and they work.

I've used a Tech Teleporter running off Arcane power and an Arcane Workbench running off Tech power.

I was all alone!

And I still got 3 of you. And completed my Bloody Bay mission.

Then you choose what you want. Nice Enhancements, or prestige for your base.

We can't all have everything at the same time.

Shopping tomorrow, won't be on till about 9/10ish

After battling yesterday with another controller, I came to the (maybe sudden) conclusion, that there is no point in domination in PVP, as dominators are usually dead before you get a chance to get your bar up.

What do you think?

Any feedback from dominators would be appreciated

Ask people how useless my Dominator is in PvP, or see the Bloody Bay thread in the Onion - heroes section.

any time tonight

"Retrieve the Loa Bone"

and

"Deal with Niles Worthington"

If anyone has these missions please let me know, as I'd like to join you!

I got a Phase-Shift 30 minute usage temp power for doing patrols in Warburg. This saved my glowy white behind a few times so I'd recommend other people doing the same.

Pity the temp powers from Sirens only last 30 minutes real life time, by the time Kid power (fly ) gets to Bloody Bay they're nearly ran out.

By the way, who was the AR/DEV blaster last night (not you Doulos) name began with a G...female toon...seemed to have something personally against me! If it wasn't for combat jumping i'd have been imob'd so many times from that bloody web grenade.

I was flicking between Kid Power and Wamdue trying to balance out the sides, but it was very back and forward going from one base to the other depending on who had the upper hand.

I've also come to the conclusion that scrappers have far too much mez protection, I couldn't hold one unless my Domination bar was full.

And I forgot how much Snipe/Assassin Strike hurts when it comes out of nowhere and you start panicing with the F1 button!

Great laugh, we must organise similar events more often.

I'm suprised by the amount of posts claiming how expensive it is to build a base.

CoV has been out for what? 2 weeks? and people seem to want to be able to convert/earn enough prestige in that time to get a working base.

from lvl 10 (when I started the SG) to lvl 30 that I am now, I've earned over 100k Prestige, in a weeks worth of play.

Now even a small group of people, say 5, all start new chars by the time they get to 30 is 500k which is enough for an energy room (150k), Control room (100k), Workroom (100k) and Workbench (25k). So another 300-odd k and you've got a generator and mainframe in which to have a fully working workbench.

For an SG containing more than 5 people you will obviously earn things faster, but that's an advantage of a big SG. Personlly I'd think things would be a little unfair if a smaller SG could compete with a larger one.

It's a bit like Single Origin Enhances, it takes time to be able to afford them.

My main point is bases will come with time, why is everyone in such a rush to have one straight away? Surely it's better to have earned it, like you earn other things in the game (levels, powers, SOs, epics)

Bloody bay was far from fun for Villains last night. A team with 3 controler on it, 2 empaths and 1 bubbler made it pretty pointless to try and fight back, constant clear minds, heals, bubbles and being able to hold all the villains.

Plus they were all later levels with a few more SOs than the majority of the villains.

The SOs make soo much difference that unless it's a team of 8 stalkers and you all stand still, us poor villains can't do much.

Super Villains Inc teamSpeak server is 85.234.136.102:8806

Feel free to join and use it my fellow villains!

Fantastic idea, I can just imagine a big group of mad scientists in lab coats all sat at work stations in a big SG base.

I'll even cross over from Onion and make an alt that will join in the fun.

lvl 30 so far

Highest on Server is 32.

The Basic Teleporters (built from salvage) can only have 2 Beacons attached to each one, so we have two teleporters in our teleport room.

6 slots of accuracy in single target and group hold.

I'm a bit way of affording SOs so there is very little diminishing return from them at the moment, and being able to be guaranteed a hold is more important than for how long, as with hasten it cycles fast enough.

Seems a bit daft for a lvl 20-25 lvl trial require a item of power ready base, when at that lvl even with a full SG you won't have enough prestige for one.

A bit wang says I.

Another update is regarding the respec trial we did earlier:
