Little event for us here guys - Saturday evening I'd like for us to have a go at getting the Fusion Generator Badge.

Now we know its bugged so that its not awarding as it should (for at total of 50 hours in a PvP Zone in SG mode - thats total for the whole SG btw not for an individual).

But my thought is that a couple of badges in the past have been bugs where the "counter" has been resetting - my theory is that the counter resets when you leave the zone - hence we've not got the badge...

So - the plan is simple. As many of us as possible (10 would be awesome) park up in bloody bay having all started a SF of some kind (so you don't auto-log - I tried this last night in Sirens and worked a charm (pissed off some bod who had me as his bounty target mind :P )) And we just leave our PC's in and logged in overnight. With 10 of us we'll easily get the 50 hours and HOPEFULLY wakeup Sun Morning to have a shiny new badge! Anyone up for joining me?

Chapter 3... Heatseeker ;p


[i]
“Spread out!” Two Fist commanded, gesturing to both sides. “Split their fire between us and we stand more chance of coming out of this alive.” Though that was by no means a certainty, he thought to himself, looking at the concentrated might of an Arachnos platoon. Scarlet led her Ninjas to the left, followed by Lady Doom, Helioss and Chaos Agent. The others moved right, led by Two Fist, and immediately came under heavy fire from Bane Spiders. Several were laying down covering fire while a half dozen scrambled out of the trenches, led by an Executioner, his black cloak streaming out behind him in the wind, making him appear huge and brutal.
“No prisoners!” Two Fist ordered, as the first ones surged towards them. One staggered and screamed as he leapt into the burning hot mud that bubbled and boiled around Two Fist, and then was silenced by a mighty overhand blow. A second feinted in on him, only to vanish. Two Fist paused, momentarily puzzled, then staggered as from seemingly nowhere the Bane Spider appeared, delivering a mighty blow that shivered his granite form. As the Bane spider again began to fade from sight Two Fist was confronted by a blade jabbing at his face, spitting gore, then it withdrew, Black Jon Bludd wrenching free his sabre from the throat of the surprised Bane Spider.
“Arr, you’ve got to be cannier than that to give me the laugh.” The pirate sniggered to his fallen foe, before spinning away and neatly decapitating another stealthed Bane. Two Fist shook his head. Black Jon was a wild combatant, but excellent at the more secret arts of slaughter. No Bane spider would be able to stand against him… Two Fists’ thoughts were interrupted by the Executioner driving his mace towards him, flame spurting from the end. Reeling back from another heavy impact, although suffering no real hurt, he spun, feeling energy build within himself. Then at great cost to himself he let loose a great yell, thrusting his pent-up fury forwards. Mace shattered, and so did the arm holding it. As the Executioner reeled back in pain Two Fist followed up with a combination of blows, breaking the other arm and then the skull of the foe. Looking around Two Fist could see that the Bane Spiders were all down, Kitty having finished off the last one with a lance of black energy, while Atomic Tempest had scourged the trenches clean with more blasts of superheated gas and radioactive pulses of gamma rays.
To the other side though, the Demons were not faring well. A toxic tarantula had only just been brought down, its shattered legs twitching mindlessly in their death-throes, and Helioss was down, covered in a series of burning slashes, the blood that welled to the broken skin black with corruption. Several bane spiders had blindsided Chaos Agent, and though he had beaten them off, killing one, he was leaking energy fast, his protective aura overloading dangerously. Scarlet’s Ninjas were embroiled in combat against a red-clad Fortunata Mistress, and quickly despatched it, only to be turned into a pale mist of blood and tissue by the thrumming guns of the Arachnos flier.
“That flying galleon is going to be a bloody mess to take apart…” Black Jon Bludd muttered, standing beside Two Fist. The great roar of the Gatling guns echoed across the heavens, and then was eclipsed by a series of loud whines, as a swarm of guided rockets was launched. Whistling down towards Chaos Agent, they sped through the air until at the last moment they swerved aside, distracted by a wave of darkness hurled from Scarlet’s outstretched fingers. Even so, they hammered down around Chaos Agent, blasting a plume of debris forty feet into the air, gouging out a great crater of rubble, burying him.
“But we have to do something…” Two Fist avowed. Behind the flyer the other Arachnos Bane spiders and tarantulas were surging outwards, heading towards the stricken Demons. “Else we will be overwhelmed.”
Scarlet’s most treasured minion, the spirit Oni, was hard pressed, though belching flame it destroyed a Bane spider, but it was only a matter of moments before it was defeated. Lady Doom was holding several tarantulas at bay, but the fire and toxic blasts from their weapons had overwhelmed her vines, and only her giant mutant fly trap was keeping them at bay.
“Let’s go for it.” Atomic said, unleashing her quickening energies again.
“I agree.” Kitty said, her face stern, gaze pitiless.
“Aye, better to destroy it now, before it kills any of our shipmates!” Black Jon said, nodding.
Two Fist nodded, and Kitty hurled out a lance of darkness towards the flier, followed by Atomic Tempest unleashing a spray of glowing bolts. They flew towards the flier, and everyone seemed to pause, even the Arachnos embroiled in combat with Oni and the Flytrap. Then the blasts of energy and darkness struck, splashing harmlessly across a blue shell of energy that appeared around the flier.
“Damn, it has shields…” Two Fist said, watching as the flier turned towards them. Gatling cannons opened fire, filling the air with shells and Atomic tempest dropped out of the sky, blood splashing everywhere. It wheeled towards Kitty, then halted as where Kitty was only a giant cloud of darkness remained. It opened fire, spent shell casings raining to earth, but struck only air, Kitty having gone to ground behind a burned out building.
“Only one thing for it.” Two Fist said, not looking at the remnants of his team. “We attack again!” Two Fist gestured and then vanished; only a streaking blur indicating where he had teleported from. Appearing on top of the flier he smashed his fists down again and again, inflicting damage to the metal. The flier banked, throwing him off, but as it turned to fire upon him he merely teleported again, landing under one of the Gatling guns, which he tore off with a great effort, ignoring the gushing spray of corrosive fluids that poured out of the smashed hull.
Behind him, Black Jon landed on the flier, dropping out of flight, and drawing his blade he swung hard at a large spherical orb that mounted the flier, seeming to project the energy field. Two Fists eyes widened behind the visor, then he teleported away suddenly, just as the shield generator exploded with a thunderous detonation. Black Jon Bludd was hurled away, body engulfed in flame, and hit the ground heavily, bones shattering, while around him burning chunks of metal debris fell like hail.
As the shield winked out Kitty attacked, darkness hammering it, her summoned creature of the shadows buffeting it with corrosive night until a volley of missiles obliterated it. Lumbering now, the flier turned, scanning the ground for further targets. It sighted upon Lady Doom, and unleashed further of the deadly heat seeking missiles. The remaining few Arachnos troops scattered as the missiles descended, leaving the Mantrap dying, ichor making the scorched earth into a sodden mess. Lady Doom shut her eyes as the missiles approached her face expressionless. Two Fist acted on instinct. Teleporting in front of the first rockets he absorbed the impact, the explosion sending fragments of stone in all directions, rocking him, nearly driving him into unconsciousness. Then, barely able to see or think, he teleported again, on top of the flier. The remaining missiles turned, having locked on to him as his target, and as they spun towards the flier Two Fist teleported again, back to safety. The missiles struck home with a crash, exploding furiously, ripping away one wing of the flier and causing massive internal explosions. Crippled, the flier began to drop out of the sky, towards city hall.
On top of city hall Lord Recluse watched without expression, his guard of Bane Spider Executioners poised ready to run. As it descended his spider arms gave the order, and the Executioners fled. Then, at the last moment Lord Recluse leapt aside, as the flier impacted the roof of the burning hall, shearing through marble with a tortured scream of metal. Then it exploded, a great shockwave blasting out, knocking everyone prone, a pillar of fire leaping high into the heavens, burning grit raining down on everything over a vast radius…

great again jon...i like how i always seem to escape unscathed...you really haven't been watching when we play have you [img]/uk/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]


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

Ooo its just getting better and better - I see you have our strategy for the flier ready to go [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Build looks very solid Helioss mate - minor suggestion would be you prolly only need one flight speed in hover as when you siphon ur pretty much at the cap. Slots could go into fly and maybe and end redux in speed boost? I find that boosting an 8 person team left my defender gasping a bit - though she doesn't have stamina.

Solid though [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Oh and this weds RSF run may well not start till 7:30 guys as I'm playing badminton after work (yes I know its shocking... sparky in exercise shocker).

Yes, that's the way it should be! The mighty Oni pwning everything!!

One of the things I love about your stories jon is they create really strong images for me.

I've sketched out a "comic cover" of the showdown in front of 'agony' hall (you know, I never noticed that - but I checked back to a screenie and you're right! - bet the devs were wetting themselves when they came up with that!) and it's all well and good, but really hard to fit everyone in.

Then from the latest chapter, I've got a really strong image of Fisty smashing a flier - but again, can't get everyone in.

Think I'm going to be better splitting it across 2 or 3 images, so keep those lovely set pieces coming and give me plenty to work with [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So, I shall have a play around, and do what I can to get some of this sketched out in time for the hardback release :P

looks a very solid RSF build ;p i assume thats what you were aiming for, with the vengeance et al? =)

I don’t know much about sonic blast so I’ll leave it to someone else to advice you on it, but for kin I have a few suggestions:

Transfusion – remove a acc and the recharge as I find in most pve 2 acc is enough and with stacked ss it should be up when you need it. You will also want 3 heals in it.

Siphon power – again 2 acc is enough I would also suggest removing some recharges unless you have no where else slots are needed as I only have 1 and find I can stack it a few times which is enough imo.

Siphon speed – you want to slot this 2 acc and 3 recharge as with this slotting u can get 3 stacked which will give you almost perma hasten.

Speed boost – you want 3 end mods in this, recharges are not needed as it recharges pretty fast without them.

Inertial reduction – you don’t need recharge in this as it is perma out of the box.

Transference – I went with 2 acc, 3 end mod and 1 recharge as I like to use it for draining bosses and elite bosses.

Fulcrum shift – that is slotted nicely some people may suggest only 2 acc but I like 3 as you really want this to hit.

Increase density – this doesn’t need recharges as it recharges fast enough without them.

I have my Vengeance triple-slotted. I had 3 defense buffs in it, but switched one for a HO def/to hit buff, so it's now got 0.1% less defense buff, but a 20% to hit buff included!

If only I had 2 more of those Hami-O's.... [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
