Heh, dont get me wrong, u did well, i just concceded with the skill of your bubblers i was bored and went to watch paint dry damn, wish we had some in sanity ...gratz tho

[/ QUOTE ]
Got bored? I wasn't aware that you where Detention Fielded for any long periods of time.

[/ QUOTE ]

He wasn't. I used SC on Smooth for the first 3 minutes or so, and then stopped using it. As far as I'm aware, Mes didn't use DF at all in that fight. Jag DCd as I was about to hit TK on him

Ah well, was still fun. I want to do it again when you have your power-team though. I've heard that Aria, Kof and TG are supposed to be super-awesome, I just want to see them back up words with actions.

Nice evolution radio plug on the end of Ask A Ben. In fact, if you provided an audio-only version I'd definitely spam it on the air (and force the other DJs to do likewise). Would AAB still work as an audio-only thingum though?

I suppose I should ask a question as well. Would it be morally wrong to crossbreed a monkey and a melon to form a Monkelon, and then market it with the tag line "The handy snack that walks so you don't have to!"?

2 questions :

Should I be using my own power boost to affect my holds?

Does Hamidon con a la GM, scaling to each players level?

[/ QUOTE ]

1) Oh hell yes use Powerboost, as often as it's up. Just don't use Vanguard until the call goes out.

2) I don't know about hamidon damage-scaling but it's a good idea to SK to a level 50 anyway, so that you pick up a level 50 hami-O rather than a fairly useless level 45-49 one.

Dirty dirty bump before tonights raid.

Also, quick reminder: Read the extra notes at the start of the sign up thread as well as this guide! We changed a few things from the last raid, so hopefully we should have a faster overall raid this time.

I have 3 warburg nukes, as yet not sure what I'll do with 'em, but I had to say I had 3 nukes (and counting for intended usage in the raid).

[/ QUOTE ]

Please do NOT use Warburg nukes at the raid. We do not have a damage phase, and as such attacks aren't needed. In addition to this, the lag those things cause is IMMENSE which is something we definitely don't want during the raid.

Edit: Also, quick note; Honsou can't make it to this raid due to RL stuff so Nemesis Spawnus will be targetting in his place.

everyone remember profanity filters off hehe

You know, you don't have to swear to be funny. Not all humour is as base as South Park.

[ QUOTE ]
Xanthus, which character should I bring again? Mesmer for Bubble visibility or Frostblaze, since you already announced that one as the second targeter?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, we'll do Frostblaze for this one and then Mesmer for the next one to see what difference it makes if that's cool with you? Mesmer might be better for the hold phase though.

/thermal all the way. I wouldn't take any other corruptor into a pentad, I don't think.

Let me know when you hit level 21 and I'll join with my fire/rad corruptor, Major Incineration. He's a pure team build, based on teaming with other /rad corruptors and as such has no travel power or fitness pool so I'll need taxing around (sadly). @Xanthus is my global handle.

Honestly, why do you make these posts? They don't exactly do anything for the topic beyond derailing it.

try fighting a team with a bubbler who sit in the room up top tp'in ppl in when u have no invul or kin on ur team

[/ QUOTE ]

If PvP is turning into poor tatics like this im going to stop PvPing. I have always enjoyed PvP untill people start taking it too far and doing "anything" to win. I wont be part of it. I hope this is last time we see things like this. I personaly like thay map also. I dont want to see it as a "Void Map".
If people have to resort to less then fair tatics then wheres the fun in that you should prove your better than the other teams through out playing a team and developing cunning tatics not poor unfair tatics.
I would just ask that each team thinks about the tatics it uses before using them.

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought the tactic was completely legitimate, to be honest. The power is only doing what the devs intended it to do, it's not like they used an exploit to make it more powerful or anything like that. I'm afraid this is just the nature of pentad, some teams do have unbeatable tactics since you often can't fit a kinetics on a pentad team. Granted, it might not be fun for you but if they're not exploiting then there's no problem.

Besides, I thought this was supposed to be the top-level PvPers getting together to improve ourselves? Surely it's better that the teams do "anything to win" to raise the overall standard of play even higher? I certainly would've stopped coming if all we'd done was walk over everyone on the first night. The reason I enjoy it so much was because we did lose to the french guys by some insane amount in the first few matches we fought. Throw any tactic you want at me, all it means is that I spend the next week thinking of a counter for it and then coming back stronger. Surely that's the point of this whole thing?

It includes the base 500 yards. If both you and a stalker are at the stealth/perception cap, you can only see them from 10 yards away or less.

[/ QUOTE ]

The buffs (and maybe ranges) also work differently depending on AT. Defenders get the most out of +perception for instance.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, it's just that the total buff Defenders give/get for +perception is of higher value. The cap is the same for all ATs.

You know its hard to set up exact dates because people have real lifes too. But here it goes. Again I'll suggest a date and hope that people are up to it. Friday 28.4 6:00pm GMT. How about it PDs and rest of the Sanity?

[/ QUOTE ]

Like i posted above i cannot make it at all during the week and i am probably up for the weekend with sunday making it the best day for me.I got a local exhibition i need to attend for my company from Friday to Sunday morning for which i ACTUALLY need to work for once during this week.

As for setting up dates etc you all know that is not easy. So saying we avoid the fight is not like the best thing.If i had the team i would logon tonight and arena np. Is not that simple as we dont live in Paragon though.Furthermore team members vital for our team like Sechs,Kianna etc etc if they cant make it you certainly cant expect to randomly create a team right?So for me is prolly best or sunday afternoon.Smooth will have to see for the rest of our SG who is available.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sunday afternoon, eh? We could do that, or we could do a post-hamidon arena fight since that's when the raid is.

Slap Decibellion on there, the EUs first level 50 sonic/sonic defender. I also have psi epic.

Specifically Bubblers are vulnerable to ranged attacks that drop toggles....as a radiation/electric defender I DON'T HAVE ANY! Toggle dropping is something that happens to me rather than something I do to other people.

[/ QUOTE ]

Name some ranged 'attacks' (not holds) that drop toggles.. Afaik only stalkers may have them, but im not sure.

[/ QUOTE ]

Storm Cloud from the storm set drops toggles, but I'm not sure if that counts as a ranged attack or not. Oh, and most of the KB powers from FF (except force bubble) have a pretty good chance to toggledrop as well.

Or ranged attacks that do damage.

Bubblers are the blappers-bane.

Thanks guys, this one took a lot less time than the last one!

Did he do anything else than spam various chatchannels while we did all the work??

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, I am supposed to be noisy.

Oh, and here is a screenshot for all you skeptics. You can quite clearly see my powerset on the right hand side, and above that is my chat handle thus proving that I definitely have a sonic defender.

I'm there.

CHIVES CHEATZ AND HAX!

I would like to point out that I only died once in the entirety of that match.

Are you using any exploits at all?

No?

Then it's fine. They're only whinging because they can't beat you.

Stay out of line of sight or go into the hospital? I don't see the problem here. If you're going to stand out in the open, expect to be TP'd. This is exactly why you always spawn just to the right or left of the main doors, rather than in plain view of the villains.

[ QUOTE ]
i would have to disagree with that

i believe sanity inc is the best PvP supergroup, there presense is always around the pvP zones

[/ QUOTE ]

Turn up to the fight then (whenever it is) and we'll prove you wrong

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Wot no violators?
