Oops! Sorry it seems some bods can't view these files - not sure why but have re-encoded as wmv files - quality not quite so hot but the file sizes are MUCH smaller 
Hope these work better!

looks very very nice
There is no such thing as too much power
Hi guys, how are we doing?
a bit early to post something, but I woke up early for school... Reason I'm posting this is because I want to do a SF of some sort, and I heard that the respecs are quite challenging, though I don't need it in the short range...
My brute is 25 now, is it possible to arrange some kind of a SF or a trial I can do with you?

respecs take us about 25 minutes ;p
Being level 25 you can do either the First respec, Cap Au Diablo, the Sharkhead or the Silver Mantis TF's
Which one do you fancy? =)
ummm.... huh.....
you choose

They USED to take us 25 mins, but the vine tree wotsit has been hit with the AV regen buff apparently, so might not be so easy now. Luckily i have a lvl 27 rad/rad corrupter in my alt box if she's needed (to replace my previously lvl 38 rad defender - NOT made as a fotm).
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year's bitter loving must remain

On the subject of respecs....do we know if the 3rd is any different from the first 2?

I would wager with tedious certainty that it's identical, not even different mob types like in CoH, pfft.

And you'd win that bet. As for it being buffed since I7 - ouch is all I can say :P buuut.... given our usual tactic I would expect it to only be an EB so should be easy....
Happy to bring claw and give it a try tonight if you want... equally happy to do a SF...
And i keep telling you sparky, AV's stay AV's if they are in a SF/Tf?respec ;p
I'd be up for the third respec at some point, maybe the weekend =) Just to test it of course =)
Its got malta in ;p
Heheh - all feels the same to me when I'm SMASHing away. Until they one-shot me.... then I tend to realise that yes, its an AV
quit yer whining sparky-boy
Still got States, Sister Psy and Synapse to plant in the ground yet! And i expect you there and being one-shotted until i say you can stop ;p
Sorry I couldn't make it on tonight guys - am actually still at work 
some really rather fedup guys here (myself included).... hey ho such is life and will see you tomorrow!
Awwwww sad to hear that m8, is defintly not the same witout u, managed to go the whole night without faceplanting (very wierd i know) plus we got some decent xp aswell:P
btw can u stay u l8 tom aswell:P
hope to see you tom night m8, u still got some ctaching up to do, then it will be faceplanting at my normal pace
bad break sparky ...
but it will only make you more eager i am sure =)
Oh be nice to poor spanky, Mr. £3500 computer has to stay at his nasty job getting all that horrible money 
Anywho, get ur [censored] online tomorrow, i've been saving two badge missions all night, which i think demonstrates good self control on my part as usually i'm drawn uncontrollably to shiny things.

The sympathy, the camaraderie, the bs :P
Well I made it on by about 11 - just in time to catch Jon rifling through kittys laundry in the base again.... tsk tsk - the IR cameras see through hide you know mate.
Managed to grind away (in the XP generating sense) in RV so only a bar from 44 now - ta for saving the badge missions and my stoney behind is out of here - on my way!
In case anyone is interested i shall be doing the next Ghost Widow arc when kitty hits 45. If anyone else has the same arc (the one after you betray her) and wants to clear it simultaneously (that only took 3 attempts to spell) then let me know.
Oh and also...VOTE KITTY FOR PROM QUEEN!
Don't know why i said that...I go slightly funny in the head at work from utter boredom, i'm currently on act 3 of my musical i'm writing, it's cracking stuff.

Hi Guys,
As you know we got a rather nice new SG Badge the other day that allows us to build Scorpion Turrets.
Well I have - and we've tested them... and they are good.
Here's the comparison:
Standard Igniter:
Costs 25k to place, no salvage, 3 aux connections (dam boosters etc)
Elite Chill:
Costs 25k to place, uses some VERY rare salvage, max 4 aux
Scoripion:
Costs 1k to place, no salvage, max 10 aux!
Damage wise we saw the Scorpion doing ticks of 56 damage (6 ticks we think) against a granite armoured brute - so we think that would be about half a squishies health in one pop - compared to our elite chill which did 106 dam in one tick. Its Lethal Dam with KB btw (so resisted - but look at what it still did to granite).
Oh and one other nice thing... they're hidden in the floor until they pop up to fire (they seem to stay up then - so I left them up in the base so you can all see them as they look rather nice)
"But spanky we want footage!"
And footage you shall have:
Open Fire!
Incoming!
Thanks to Bru for agreeing to get shot at and we may have a raid against the Dark Lords of the Underground (Bru's guys) on Sunday - details and confirmation to follow once he's spoken to his chaps - so let me know here or in game if you fancy it
Minor update to base - added insp and enhancement holders - suggest we just hold SO enhancements and any and all insps.
All traffic into and out of them is logged - so anyone caught taking excessive amounts who doesn't earn prestige or contribute can be prodded
Oh and I set the access so all can deposit but all except recruits can withdraw. Figure recruits shouldn't be recruits for long.
Just had a rather nasty crash here... got a mapserver disconnected "try again" message, tried to exit got a nasty purple screen with jsut the door to the mish visible, now I can't log back in :P
Get the updater (tried reverifying files), but although I get the splash screen I never get the login. We all out?
YEY for us!
anyway, it's respec trial time. since my brute is 28, we will be doing the 1st respec. tommorow, monday, at 19:30 UK time, orginized by either sparks or me (if sparks isn't on).
be there or be.... umm.... you think of something out!
@Double
Double Flame 50 fire/devices

if you need help i'll be there =)
i'm loading the base with 50+ enhancements so if you need, go grab =)
I notice people are putting some right rubbish in the insps bay, so i cleared out the chuff and put some tier 2/3 insps in.
and dont overfill the enhancement bay with rubbish either ;p
Hola all,
Have made a few vids demonstrating the rather nice new particle and physics effects (with the PhysX card installed).
Have popped them onto my brothers webspace - so, bandwidth allowing here they are (each around 75 meg I'm afraid!)
This first one mainly shows the particle effects as the containers blow on a Mayhem mish, quite a few familiar faces here too!
Container Explosions
This next one shows Lady Distortion using propel to good effect on some more evil containers... hmm heroic containers then i guess...
Sofa Target Practise
The next two I'm rather pleased with. This first one, Bullet time, was when Lady D had used the grav aoe immob on a couple of close targets after they had fired their machine guns somewhat. The grav powers pickup the bullets and because the pull is equal between the two minions they are suspended between them.... That is until one of them has a very unfortunate fisting related accident. At which point you see the physics engine recognise the change in the grav field and move the bullets to flow around just one of the minions.
BulletTime
And lastly I brought Rifty and his Sing out to play, Sing being a huge grav anomoly himself has great fun with all the debris, you see him holding a load of it, then dropping it as I move him off (he can carry small bits (like leaves :P ) quite a way) Then as I move him back in he again disturbs the rubbish.
Singularity
All I would say is that it would be even cooler if the bodies now were persistent as well and were effected in a similar way.... mind you I guess we'd end up with huge piles of corpses being kicked all over the place.
Here's hoping they fix the bug they introduced with the last patch so I can stop having the occasional crash when I turn the card on at the mo.
