Anyway, Evanescence will be logging in as 'Char for me 'cos I'll be at work.

Good luck with the Task Force, I think Toki will be meeting up with you all at 7pm for a 7:30 start.

The Kraken video is finaly done, and will be posted tomorrow evening. Have fun on the TF!

Edit: Obviously this was originally planned for Sunday so I reckon those missing today can do it then.

Archy: Assault isnt really needed as I said earlier in this thread because of all the AMs and EFs.

Assault is there for extra damage when there is only a few of us online. Also, a choice for no better-needed power.

Archy: Phantasm is up to your playstyle. Doesnt synergize well with the rad debuffs though because of the knockback.

We do tens of stacked AoE immobolize and disorientate.

Archy: Absorb pain is an awesome heal. Consider getting it in there. Best slotting would be 3 heal, 2 rng, 1 rech.

No real need for absorb pain, we all have AoE heals thats often super-stacked. And Heal Other is enough a ranged variation.

Okay build DeathDude, I dont quite understand the need for self stealth though. Even the defense bonus dissapears as soon as you attack. Also, I'd have my psionic damage slotted with SO's by level 18.. Spectral Wounds is big damage (especially with containment) and is needed on the team. I fear you may be underestimating it.

Supirior invis only partly supresses defence, it'll still give a nice bit, and i really do love sup invis, It's so useful for me. I will replace assault with Spectral wounds then, but seriously with all the AoE damage you guys'll be churning out, the only reason for good ST damage would be tough bosses, and on them it'd heal back before the fight's over anyway.

Keep your invis buddy, if you like it, but yeah, I would'nt use it for defense, it'll only drain your endurance. The defence bonus is flattened down to a third! So if it's buffing you by 7.8%, it suppreses down to 2.6 in a battle.

I've almost finished work. How was/is the TF?

The tf is okay, done 4 mishes, loads left, and btw, sup invis only suppresses half (Not sure if sup invis supresses at all, but it probably does, and if so, it's half anyway.)

phew, all done

Sundays meet will likely be a mass hunt in Faultline or Boomtown as the level range for the next TF is 15-20.
If we decide to do the Synapse TF we should all be level 17-18 for best results.

Only TF done on Sunday will be for those that missed Positrons on Friday and I think Char is sorting that one out.


 

Posted

Yeah, I'll be hunting with you guys in Boomtown early Sunday.

Who missed the Positron Task Force?

Yourself, Firefunk, Waayhot and Agent-X1.

What you are forgetting here is that people have different playstyles, and common sense will tell you that if you arent running into a mob there is no need to have hot feet on (big waste). The mobs were dropping fast enough. Also as to AM some ppl were not slotted correctly for some reason or being just outside of others AM area so recharge times were messed up. Dont slam on how others choose to play as we are all individual and play at different levels of ability. If we are expected to just be bots to just AM and Hot Feet our way though this then it is going to get really boring really fast. It was fun how it was and a good test of teaming ability, if you cant work with other peoples play styles then I dont know what to say for ya

Personally I think we pwned the whole thing, there were a few deaths, but debt was hardly an issue as it was all cleared within 5 minutes, and pretty much everyone got up to at least lvl 15, I'm not complaining.

Obviously people have there own play styles but I dont think that ignoring requests, using AM whenever one feels too etc. are ones that should be tolerated. Obviously people are at differnt levels of ability, but if people LISTEN, then they can improve.

From what I could tell for most of the time AMs where sync except for the odd occasion when someone was AFK or theirs had not recharged yet. However spamming the chat channels with "Everyone Turn On Hot Feet" is not necessary if everyone is not standing in the mob. I agree it was fun death was minimal but death should always be expected and makes it a challenge. Its just not right to expect everyone to do the same thing, the syncing of AM is easy to fix but shouldnt be expected to work all the time with so many individuals it doesnt always have to do with people "Listening" other things can get in the way too.

I dont want this to start into any kind of flame war I just think that things will never be perfect with so many seperate people and it should not be perfect anyway as it would be stagnant rinse and repeat all the way to 50

We should act as a team but allowance should be made for some variation, as I said before variation in playstyle and skills plus personalities cannot be dictated, and it makes a great test of "Making it work, when things don't always go to plan" sure everyone should be doing their bit but that should not be the same bit for everyone.

When we jump a mob everyone should be standing in or near the mob (Hot feet has a 20ft radius).

Hotfeet is the key to taking down mobs with speed, when used by all its damage is equal if not stronger then that of the Fire Imps, and that does not come until level 32.
As for everyone using hot feet I'll leave theses numbers:

Under containment two people using Hot feet is a total of
2.78 BI a tic equal to a SS tankers Punch move.
So if six of us use it, it becomes 8.28 BI a tick which is close to SS tankers KO blow (9.98 BI) but its aoe and thats with no Enhancements or AM. Thats why I really try to push the use of Hot Feet.


During the last part of the TF when we went up against the Elite boss mob all of us had Hot feet on and mob just got owned so quick we questioned whether that was even a Elite boss.

As for AM we should try to stack it as much as possible to maximize its benifit and reduce its recharge.

I understand that we all have different playstyles but theres a reason why we all have simular builds and that is so that we can combine and stack things like the damage from hot feet and the buff from AM for greater effect.

I don't expect people to follow blindly, I welcome any input from other SG members but I've tried to prove that certain tactics work during hunting and during missions and till now no one has contested it.

Quote from Full Metal Jacket:

"The Marine Corps does not want robots. The Marine Corps wants killers. The Marine Corps wants to build indestructible men, men without fear."

Pretty much all I want too

I have no wish to inflame this glich in the team play but as Toki is the leader of the team all requests for Hot Feet,AM,s or any other play command should come from him not all and sundrie as you fill the chat window and some requests get missed so please everyone the the requests for the team leader to make that way noone has any cause to [censored] about someone else not doing this or that this is only my opinion I would like to know what Toki thinks as he is the team leader.The Prof.

Wait, what? Who is holding out on Hot Feet? We are soldiers, and should always [u]choose[u] overkill.

AM on Toki's word. If we pay attention, it'll be easy to keep the rhythmn.

True, there'll always be the odd man out of sync due to whatever, that is expected.

What is important is never to hold back. Full on damage, damage, damage! We're a superteam.

I'm sure the spamming was out of frustration.. lack of, or poor teamwork does that. No big deal.
