Warscythe

Todays gonna be like christmas, new booster pack on the horizon and my brand spanking new shiny big TV comes today too, only thing is i have to *wait* for both....eeep

*sits on edge of seat and attempts to not devour fingernails*


Sad thing is im actually more impatient for the cossie pack than the new huge TV.....

nvm, all back

Seems like its spread to Onion as well, whole SG team just lost all globals, room in AE building on RWZ just became awash with others noting the same.

cheers chaps, well another year gone and ive spent almost 3 of em with you bunch of miscreants

off to go get blind drunk and lose a few more hours of my life to the delicious amber nectar, cya all tomorrow through blurry eyes

Belated happy birthday mate, heres hoping for no more monitors to be blowing up this year

Woohoo got mentioned in april, and all in time for my cake day (soon*)

Cheers Pi and happy belated cake day to you, tell damsel to get you that new monitor sharpish

That is the most awesome capture of War ive seen for a long time since Doc Dest. Absolutely spot on Psy, and cheers for the cossie compliment

Adding Warscythe's wiki page, its been there a while but as a WIP, now complete (ish)

And pre grtz on the B/Day Pi

As I said before mate, I offerred, you never asked, and theres some folks I know who would be mistaken for being seen as a plea for attention...you aint one of them mate, besides, was only gonna throw the cards anyway.

Good to have you back bud even if its a short duration,.

Damn Col. be a shame to see you go, even if it isnt for good, however I may have bright news for you mate, for all those times you offered advice on vill choices - brutes mainly, for all the times you made me giggle with your (blunt at times) honesty and for the fact that there is someone out there with as fervent an obsession with the 5th column as myself...for all that im willing to lob you a dusty unused pair of gametime cards if you want mate, I really have no use for them as they were bought for a friend who has now defected to another game.

The offer is there, theyre gonna get thrown otherwise so might as well use it...be a shame to lose one of the games most forthright players and a good friend too.

Well get back to me in PM if you need it, if not then ill see you when you return mate.

You should stick with Lea mate, that toon whooped my [censored] good and true, granted i lasted longer than expected but still, fighting lea is like trying to hit the worlds smallest block of adamantium on legs

Please dont give up on her mate, after he has licked his (considerable) wounds, war may just return to ask for a rematch, regardless of how much of a beating he may get

And besides look at Col.Blitz ..Freddie has yet to be beaten too, be nice to see the two of you go at it.

and fire tanks don't have much defence or damage resistance so they aren't that good for tanking

fire tanks do have excellent resistance to attribute attacks tho

Soooo they are good for tanking or they are not good...which is it, seems you enjoy contradiction as much as Bill Clinton

How is movement frustrating now ?
You can still move as before if you dont attack something or are attacked.

[/ QUOTE ]

I cant believe you actually said that.

So what do you do during pvp, stand by the gate and watch in case someone attacks you or you accidentally attack them?

I'd give up Londoner, I held off replying in this and the WP thread as that guy seems to be very adept at making a bunch of random wholly unsupported claims with no basis in fact or reality, dont get me wrong he is entitled as anyone else to an opinion but my hackles only rise when someone makes an opinion and claims it to be "fact".

But id like to see the poster actually reply to my question regarding server population, again im happy to be proved wrong so long as he shows me some definitive proof that my eyes are failing and he is seeing all these players in PvP zones that must all be on stealth/hide to me.

However im sure some deflection will go on and another random set of "facts" will be posted with no evidence or such to back it up. I wouldnt be getting on a high horse if the poster was willing to listen to others and post a counter argument with some facts.

Im hoping this doesnt come across as an attack im just coming to the conclusion that its either a very long winded and convoluted wind-up / troller or maybe he is just playing a different version of CoX that everyone else is.

Nice vid Dusty and thanks, by the way do you mind if I link it along with SGT MP's missus for the titan thread mate?

I see much more players in PvP zones now than before I13 so at least some seem to like the changes

[/ QUOTE ]

A lot being said but surely this is the biggest give-away and most incorrect statement. I must be on the wrong server as no way is there more pvp than before.

^^ This, with cherries on top.

Case in point, been working on grabbing nukes for saturdays SG States task force, a few new players who needed them (and the fact we were bored and decided for overkill) so over 3 successive nights we were in warburg, taking our time and casually grabbing the odd scientist and stopping on occasion for a chat.

Now dont get me wrong, but iirc whenever i used to venture into the *burg, there would be swarms of PvP's duking it out on the beachhead, and woe betide anyone who thought they could get away with nabbing a nuke code without some smart player camping the exits, wiping the poor sod and leaving with his scientist with a glib "sucker" reply, those were the fun days.

Now? we just spent a few hours thurs/fri/sat afternoons/eves in warburg and once or twice came across two other players in the zone doing the same thing with one reply of "this feels like boomtown"

So where in gods name you get these mythical "increased" numbers from i'd love to know...and im not being obtuse, im actually saying - prove me and my eyes wrong.

Vernon Von Grun, the guy is a legend

one of his famous rants from the end of his arc.

I saw the news. Zenflower is down and the Devouring Earth are returning to their old ways. But that's barely important now. Lord Mortarion, look! I just got it in the mail. It's my card. My union of scientific evil card! The papers have been signed by Grillo and Dr. Creed, and everyone! I did it! Thanks to you I did it! I'm no longer Vernon Von Grun, mere lab assistant, I am now Victor Von Grun, Mad Scientist! I couldn't have done it without you! Now, there's so much to do! I'll have to give my 2 week notice in the traditional fashion by attempting to build a killer robot or evil demi-human clone, of course, and there'll be setting up a lab. Oh, and I'll need some twisted assistants, must give back to the community. And a master plan to RULE the WORLD! But I couldn't have done it without you! There's so much to do, but thank you, Character, thank you! You've made my mad dreams of making science run amok finally come true! I'll never forget you, and the world will never forgive you!

I imagine him being the most vocally gibbering wreck in any asylum, cellataping loo roll tubes together - convinced he is building the next generation of super robot to break him out.

(edit I know he is a contact not an official "enemy" per-se but I believe he deserves an honourable mention )

Its also on the Vill side Ouro TF when you got to assasinate the president, that top lobby room had a similar lookout, ok its in an instanced mission but it still made me smile to be something a little different.
Plus theres a future version of Cap Au Diable
However would love to see as tsumi has suggested, more buildings -out of mission- that have the same feel, whether thats a promo image or a view of things to come, I will just have to wait and see.

Aye Ive got the arc inc on some other toons so i will save the same for anyone who missed out on the badge tonight.

First up to the guys on the list who turned up after spending time to help set it up.....a massive massive thank you.

Second to the guys who turned up to kill them...en masse..i mean 200 plus in kings...thats not been seen for a long time. to you guys another big thanks.

Ok so the titans didnt all spawn on us, seems with that many in zone caused them to scatter across the map, not to plan however still ended up bein a lot of fun hunting down 12 loose titans around the map.

So finally just a massive thanks to all involved, you restored my faith in the community and what we can achieve...(even if the server tries to thwart us).

Keep your eyes peeled as the art of war come up with another fiendishly elaborate way to kill union...ahem i mean host an event

Well ive been on the test server today, and it seems the titan will not spawn in the hollows, tried 3 times, so looks like the zone will revert to kings row (which I have tested 4 times and works easily).

Ill get the global MOTD's rechanged and will see you all at 7pm in kings

Ive sent PM's to all the mission holders (outside of the SG)
Essentially asking for them to arrive in the hollows about quarter to seven, so we can outlay the set up.

But again if people are late, or cant make it for whatever reason, I wont call the event off, it will still go ahead regardless, but with the interest thus far im looking forward to it, see you all there chaps

Ok updating the list


1 - (me) - Ready
2 - Eros - Ready
3 - Hephaestion - Ready
4 - Adz - Ready
5 - Knightly - Ready
6 - Sal - Ready
7 - TRT - Ready
8 - Lightnia - Ready
9 - Biscuits - Ready
10 - Judgement Dave - Ready
11 - Damz - unconfirmed
12 - Saphi - ready/unconfirmed on the date
13 - Energy Shot - unconfirmed
14 - Rex - Ready

Take into account that Dave and Biscuits have attempted on multi accounts, this puts us around the 14 mark we were looking for, so ...we are on for sunday then chaps.


So as a reminder, due to some chat about people getting caught up etc, im changing the location, due to a fair amount of interest im shifting it to the hollows.

Same rules apply, there are no rules ...bring whatever you want , teams will be set up MS raid style, each person holding the mission will be separate...then we will unleash the titans and let the carnage begin.

Starting around 7-7.30 uk time sunday so again any questions dont hesitate to pm me @stryke

And again a massive thx to all who have helped so far.

Looks like folks who lost their contacts are slowly having theirs returned. So I will happily say that sundays titan event is still on.

So I will contact the right people and post up an updated list by friday of who are the mission holders, if you are one and are close to finishing the arc please dont hesitate to contact me, ill help get up to the correct mission as you will need to save the auto complete for sunday.

Well after sending a specific petition requesting a char rollback (had to supply them with details regarding where/when the contacts were lost) and relogged to War this morning after confirmation, and viola all contacts/mishes returned and he is back in atlas where he was before the whole debacle happened

So unless the folks who lost contacts yesterday did a lot of work they dont want to lose after the bug, id suggest sending a detailed petition requesting a rollback for that char, worked for me and 3 others I know.

Hey sparkie mate, nice work, still awaiting the bloomin patch to actually stop freezing mid process (I hate BT ) but hoping for resolution on war with his contacts...if so then yes its fully back on for sunday.

And welcome to the forums mate, took your sweet time
