Big grats to quoth on making lvl 40 this weekend also!

Grats Lib

arcane version is ley tap, only difference between tech and arcane is the footprint of some of the items and that arcane salvage is harder to get.

Hmmm the idea of pvp mission that just run outdoors in the zone might work much better. Still lots of xp, but if they are timed courrier/kill missions they would be a lot better.

As I said before though, amd just spouting ideas to get ball rolling. Just seems to me at present things arent really working as they are.

Ya grats Win'ter. A well deserved 40!

Hey Gani,

Aye was more looking at ideas, of how to balance sirens a little and try make it more fun for everyone. Number of times I see/hear folks go into sirens to try some pvp and leave a little while later because either

a) There are a handful of heroes and a bazillion villains standing outside their base.
b) There are a handful of villains and a bazillion heroes standing outside their base.

Certainly from my point of view, and those of other players I have spoken to, thats not much fun for anyone.Sure that most folks would agree that we would all like to see more people in sirens, so we can be kill/killed by some new faces.

Temp powers might work, but would need a cool down period if one side stops being drastically larger in numbers, or perhaps a power that scales beased on the differential between the sides. Doing nothing if sides are within a set amount.

Did think about maybe limiting entry if one side more than doubles the other down to a minimum of 8. Eg 8 heroes (1 full team) could zone in with no one to oppose them. However no one from that side could zone in until at least 5 villains zone in. At which point up to 2 more heroes could come in making it 10 v 5. Only issue here is that either end up with multiple sirens instances with low populations , or you end up in one and your mate ends up in another.

Wow this is a really long post for this time in the morning........musta been more coffee in that cup than I thought!

I think that if "pvp" missions are to truely live up to their name, their needs to be someway to oppose them, so that they are not the easy xp farming they currently are. After all you can make it to the mission before you invulnerability timer runs out. There is only risk from mobs getting you, and you are buffing/debuffing all folks outside, however not yourself while in the mission.

But this was all meant for a general chat between folks that PvP, I understand that a small army of invading mobs to help the outnumbered side isnt a great solution but was somewhere to start

Big grats to Smirk on reaching the big 40, proof the suicidal stalkers can get there...eventually

grats mate

what do people think of the idea that in sirens itself

1 - no xp gain/debt in the zone
2 - the side that is out numbered gets assistance from mobs, maybe in the form of a few mobs that work ambush style on highest number side, or highest bounnty on side with most people. After all how often is sirens a good fight and how often is it a base camp by one side or other.
3 - Make the buffs/debuffs apply to the missions in pvp zones as well, or make the missions apposable, a new contact you can go to that tells you current missions in progress. Then give them an xp boost if there is conflict resulting in deaths (which do give debt).

Some vague thoughts.

Well get back on then Doc!

As I recall the 75 character limit was due to graphics limitations. Only 75 people can be displayed in one place at one time reasonably.

However one of the threads I saw about the matter was talking about chaning it to 75 accounts (so all 12 of your characters could be in an SG at once and count as 1 towards that limit). Since you cant log more than 1 character off an account at any one time.

Would need to get confirmation of how/if its gonna though from someone in red

Oh and in answer to your first question there is a link below for a walkthrough on it

walkthrough

Ignoring the fact that I obviously dont know my left from right and the words council and circle are synonymous in my mind, the rest of the details work lol.

Oh and my handle is @flicknife for the pm.

gonna run some sg folks through it tonight, so pm me around 7pm and will try save a space. If not will do a second run for you just after probably 8ish.

Well we are a large well organised SG, but having done some calcs, it will actually be impossible for us to get the large secure plot since we would be unable to pay the rent on it. Balancing point for us where

prestige earned per rent period = rent

will be around about the 80 million point. we already pay 230k each rent period just to maintain our base, expansions will get slower as this goes up. Now scale that operation down to an SG that has say only 10 active players, suddenly the cap for total base expense is closer to 20 million. Something similar to the base we have now provided they work hard to make the rent. If someone leaves this delicately stacked house of cards the only option will be to go into your base and start selling stuff to the repo man.

once again looking to swap tech salvage for arcane stuff, shoot me a tell @flicknife if interested.

Well folks can always poke me if they need a team, I often put one together to help folks.

It doesn't?

Well will probably run it again tonight After all it only takes a very little time. 50 Minutes start to finish on relentless, with only a couple of deaths, cant complain at that

Well if I find willing folks, I may do this more than once.

ok will check around later for a kinetic to come join us, then will get a full team up, shouldnt take too long

If you time it so your not piling into a new group as it crashes, then no not to bad. Otherwise you can end up in trouble.

Well if I find a lvl 31+ kinetic to come along, I might be persuaded to run it more than once. As ever though it will be on relentless. But should take about an hour depending on team.

Heya Dokuru,

I might be doing it tonight if you want to tag along.

Anchor?

I know what it is....it is a thing what stops a ship drifting away.........did I win anything?

One point to note that isnt covered on the hero planners, is that /inv gets tougher the more mobs around you once you have some of the powers.

Hey I never said how big a gremlin....you can be stupid deathsurge /sniff.......for I am........GREMZILLA!
