Having a level 50 doesn't make you a good player. In PvP it's about more than just being at the cap.
Goonies: Base raid on April 5th at 8:00pm?
Echelon: Base raid on April 6th at 8:00pm?
Hidden Healer: Base raid on April 7th at 8:00pm?
You can either raid us, or we'll raid you, or both. We don't mind. Bring as many people as you can.
Edit: [censored], double post. For some reason, I didn't think this would happen. Sorry.
Double edit: We can also do pretty much any time this weekend as well. Just send me a tell in game and we'll organize something (@Xanthus is my handle)
Sounds good, but for 2 things...
I'll be either...
a) missing in action due to week long debauchery (*cough* birthday week 
)
b) pushing hard to get the villain Echelon base raid enabled
Still, really want to get these things going so will aim for this, or an arrangement around it - cheers 
!
I will ask around and inform in this thread whether its ok to have raid(s) at that time.. Don't hold your breath as we are primarily PvE people, like I said.
I guess we can have a go at wednesday then.. With however many people show up. I'm gonna be surprised if more than one teams worth of Goonies show up, though.. 
Lets see where Arch Sectors loyalties lie.. 
Hmm.. How long is the raid window and did 8pm signify London time?

Raid window is whenever we send you a raid invite, or vice-versa. Once the invite is sent, you have 5 minutes to join the raid by opening the supergroup tab, clicking the "Raid" button and then clicking "Join" on the relevant raid.
And yeah, it's 8pm London time.

No, I meant how long does the raid last, as I don't think we can kill you all at the same time...
I'd prefer defending base despite us being underdogs, to see how the defensive items work and get ideas about the defense etc.

Lasts up to 45 minutes. Or until one of the victory conditions are met.
Just reminder of the Goonies vs PD raid today.. Any other raids planned?

Loyalty? I'm not entirely sure what that word means? Some sort of pie? 
SingStar:
"Extremists LOVE to fish to get us annoyed so we break the forum rules."
CRACK68:
"The origin of life wasn't planned either, should all life be declared a bug and wiped out?"
Lionsbane:
"You know me.Ever the realist"
Mmm, loyalty pie...
Still, looking forward to a fun raid with The Goonies.
Well it was good fun until the base decided to crash and award autowin for us I have to say those stormies are kinda annoying.. :P
I guess its next wednesday then, I hope we could start a bit earlier next time.

I reiterate that we didnt use that bug with our base last night. I waited to post about it cause you wouldve seen the rest of the base map from that pic.

Ah, I'd seen it already from browsing your forums last night. It didn't help though, you had stuff everywhere. Half the time it seemed to hinder as well as help you, though.
As for Lord Zane accusing us of spawncamping: The reclimator is by far the most important base item to destroy. The turning point in most base raids is the moment when you get their reclimators, as they're forced to ressurect outside the base after that and it takes a while to get from the hospital to the base.

Yeah, as I said before, I aimed this as a learning experience. Personally I'd like the base resemble a 'superhero comics' base a bit more, heh, but I felt couple of our members were sorta serious about this so I went bit overboard with the items and corridors.
It certainly didn't help that some of our members hadn't familiarized themselves with the base as I had instructed..
I remember our teamspeak like "Jaysis! What has happened to our base?!"

This missed my ears, and its nothing less than I expect. Yeah I consider it as a valid tactic. Don't worry. Personally I rezzed at hospital half of the time anyway(misclicks lol, or because I didnt have rest charged)
Question: did the defensive items hinder you at all? We propably didn't mount a proper defensive line around them, as we were bit too split up, but do you think they are as useless as I think they are?
Items included: first chokepoint: Forcefield, Improved igniter+targeting module+transformer(-energy cost), second chokepoint: improved dampening ray+energy shield+sensor array, repulsor.
(Ps. the chokepoints were in fact secure transport rooms, the cheapest possible room where you can put def items.)
Btw, apparently you spawned near our base entrance? I thought that you could spawn individually anywhere? Is this the case? Or did you just regroup near the entrance? You missed 2 anchors on the way to the one that you hammered anywyay I guess they were sort of well-hidden.
PS. I hope we can have more even number of people next time Number of our founding members werent there last night including our resident regen-scrapper, DaSlasher. So you might face even more people next time. I pushed this raid defense forward even though our people werent completely prepared, because I wanted to kindle the PVP spark in them hehe Seems like it worked cause we had some practise events at arena later last night.
It was weird, we all spawned and kinda screamed 'jesus, [censored], where am I?!' followed shortly by '... oh, there you are!'.
And then we got the screams of 'OH JESUS, I'M STUCK IN A BOX'... good times.
It was strange, the defensive items sure annoyed us (well, my, god damn interrupt on recall friend), but it didn't really hinder us as far as I'm aware.
Still, it was good to see someone else think of base design when it comes to raiding.
Shame it was such short notice, we can usually garner about 12 people for a raid, but it was fun. Can't wait for the (hopefully bug free) rematch. AND the arena fight, eh, EH?!
I didn't really notice the base items that much. We kinda destroyed them almost as an afterthought. They're a little bit annoying, but definitely not worth the prestige for the amount of help they provide. We don't have any in our base, and I doubt we ever will.
You spawn anywhere inside the base, at any doorway. We certainly didn't all spawn in the same place, since Daybringer and I both ran into what seemed like your entire team almost immediately. We were screaming at Extremus to TP us to the same place over Teamspeak the entire time.
We'll try and bring more guys next time too =D

Yeah, thats what I was expecting as well. Knowing what devs usually come up with heheh... They were there precisely for me to know whether they are of any use. (prestige is not an issue in an instant raid though, I had more prestige at my disposal than I could put items in there. Less than plot upgrade though.). Propably the only items worth considering
are forcefields and repulsors(knockback). Maybe Im gonna check what the elite turrets do once we get those accursed special salvage. I suspect they are high damage turrets compared to the moderate damage ones we had last night.
Im gonna come up with better base design next time

Yeah, we had 11 defenders last night, but you were getting on top of us still at the time of crash, good stuff.
