RADS REVENGE!

*NB Please note that whilst inspired by the AV buff of issue 7, and strictly humorous this work of fiction in no way condones the ludicrous unbalancing of -regen powers in PvE*

06/06/06: ISSUE 7 ARRIVES

Within hours, everybody taking on an AV either repeatedly faceplants or dies of old age without taking an AV to lower than 90% of health. UNLESS A RADIATION DEFENDER IS PRESENT!


Outbreak - Flower Knight gasps as Mr. Atomic, Mr. Radiation, Mr. Nuclear, Mr. Radioactive, and Mr. Nukem all parade in succession to rescue her...

Atlas Park - Captain Atom arrives to Greet Ms. Atlas, only to instantly receive 20 invites from various level 40-50 teams asking "R U RAD? DO U HAVE LINGERING RADIATION?"

Hollows - Mr. Tank runs into mob and as his health plummets screams "DEBUFF!". The blaster laughs at Mr. McHealy Empath with the bitter words "R U H43LOR? nOOb! U R Teh gimp! De8u44 4 teh WIN!"

Talos Island - Poors Nursey Empath Medaid, new level 20 hits Talos after wandering around for hours with team invite open and "EMPATH" in team search. She eventually scraps this for "DEFENDER" At which point she gets 50 invites asking "Can you debuff?" she has an internal debate about whether to lie...

ATOM SMASHER, the level 50 long retired Radiation defender pops into Peregrine. Instantly gets so many invites the entire server explodes...


(BTW I know /Kin and /Dark do some -regen aswell but Rad seems to have the best of it!)

Enjoy everybody! My Rad defender is lvl 50 and will debuff for influence! (And that is definately a joke)

Very funny I must say, but I am alittle upset as my empath won't be coming out for awhile now, at least untill the devs give them a roll back in the higher end of the game. I can't see many high lvl teams wanting an empath when they need the standard 2 rad's incase of an AV mish, then having a 3rd defender and the tank means there is not much space left in the team for damage. It's a shame that they seem to want to phaise Empaths out more and more. Still won't delete mine not now he has got to 32, but he maybe retiered for awhile.

My team message was "Fire/Rad Controller LFT" and I got maybe 1 invite over an evening, sometimes none.

I7 released

4 teams on first evening, and I am getting tells while I am on teams. Nice to be popular but its wierding me out man!!

New message will be "AV buster for hire" at least until they get it fixed.

Yeah...I will copy your new mesage!
We have been soooo many time underated and palying with ppl who did not respect our powers (well in fact they did not know which were our powers at all!) ... Why this Equinox Archon has a green cloud around him...I did not know that they have this aura power?... I replyed: its my radiation infection power kill him the last...(he was killed already before I was able to finish the sentence). .. I'm sure that a lot of ppl who though we were unuseless will change their minds!!
Fortunately, you always end up finding a good team who knows how to play with you and those are the best teams and the most difficult to beat... A Rad def/Tank duo who know how to team up with each other is nearly unstoppable.

Other reason to make a rad is the toggle drop nerf, this means that rad defenders can rival blaster in terms of damage and have good surviability. And you really need rads in team PvP now to tag people, sending a good buffed blaster off isnt enough to kill the emps anymore. So rad is getting back on my favourit pentad team, thats cool .


50s
controllers: Ill rad , grav rad, fire kin, ice kin

That was me on my kinetic defender when CoH hit live on US server. Except the debuff question was switched with "Are you a healer?"

Ahh how things have changed

You know, I'm getting the feeling it's rather handy that my Rad Defender ws just about to hit 22 when the servers went down for I7. Can't wait until my first villain is at 50 so I can return to her... should be fun.

Hey, where did you think I got my inspiration from? Certainly not when I was a level 20 rad defender and got asked "R u H48l0r?". Well... I do have a heal power....

hehe, used that myself quite a few times. "well I have a heal...you just need to stick close to a mob to receive healing" Didn't go over to well with blasters in the teams for some reason

Haha...made me chuckle reading that.

However I can only guess this won't bode too well for us as the people upstairs will take heed and nerf us to kingdom come!

We all know that if the AV's get nerfed again kins will rule the planet once and for all (till the AV"s get a buff again)
