Children of the Phoenix
Ooh hot topic, personally I think the AM's are best used half at a time, this way when they all run out, the other half can use theirs and you don't find yourself completely out of End, I know this is pretty much impossible to perform but anyway, and yeah, I agree, some people need more patience when going for groups, but on the whole it was fairly good, only really that one exception with the 2 bosses (I was on the loo for that bit) where I understand Infect wasn't used enough. I think that taught people their lesson. But I do have to say, spamming the chat just gets people more infuriated, it doesn't help in the slightest, if people ignore it once, they'll ignore it 20 times. While I know your intentions were good, I tried to keep in sync as much as possible, sometimes it isn't, and spamming doesn't help (tbh I'm surprised CoH doesn't have a filter for that). But yeah, more people need to use Hot Feet, I agree, think about it, a mob of 6, 5+ damage/second = 30+ damage a second, * 6 people = 180+ dmg a second. But remember it does cost End, so if people don't have it on, there may be a reason for that
There will be no more spamming of the chat channel that was merely people thinking out loud.
The half and half thing sounds cool but ultimatly doesn't work out. AM really does need to be stacked, the more we stack the more damage and endurance we get and also stacked the down time for it is reduced greatly.
AM gives .23 end recovery a sec by itself. If three AMs are used you get .69 which is slightly better then a unslotted stamina but 6 gives the team 1.38 end recovery a sec which is close to having recovery aura (1.67 unslotted).
If get into the habit of only using AM stacked the down time on it will be minimal. We also have to make sure that everyone on the team benifits from its effect not just one or two.
I hate throwing numbers around by the way the main thing is that we have fun (corny I know ). Once we get to level 22 and get SOs things will change and most if not all of the problems (endurance, downtime and such) will stop.
Sure, whats the plan for tonight btw?
Well hunting is on the cards but its a case of where.
I'm aiming to get a least 8 of us to level 19/20 so that we can do the next TF if anyones up for it.
Boomtown is still a decent place to hunt mobs of level 17-19 Lost minions with Lts and its easy to move from mob to mob.
I took look at Faultline it has large mobs of 17-19 Vaz, Clockwork and COT with at least one boss in every mob but faultline is a bit awkward to move around especially in the red area which might slow things down a bit.
Yeah if we do Boomtown tonight we can take on Babbage! I saw one last night but nobody was around to take him, lvl 19GM
we still dont have any -Regen powers to take him down with
The fight will be impossible without this remember Kraken us plus a bucnh of heroes couldnt even touch his regen till someone summoned a Shivan. Babbage not a good idea at this point.

The TF tonight was alot of fun, we even finished before expected; the clockwork king never even knew ehat hit him
Shame not everyone was on but if anymore of you lot want the badge I will definately help out
Sorry I couldn't make it, I had an appointment with the pub, I would like to do it somepoint though, so I may call upon your help
Well the test with LR and Babbage was interesting we got him down almost halfway before his regen started getting back faster than I could keep him debuffed. Maybe next time with some SOs slotted in there.

Next meeting will be on thur at 7/8 pm. I wont be online but toki will be.
I'm thinking of setting the next TF over the weekend if anyone is up for it. If most of us are level 22/23 it should be a breeze. Let me know if your up for it.
I also would like to get peoples global names so that I catch up with people when I'm online and your using your alts.
Send me a PM with your globals so that I can add you to my list.
Reptillis: @Ipes
I'm afraid I'll be working with the Army for the next two weeks (Returning about the 17th) so I'll probably be a dozen or so levels behind when I see you next lol, take care all though.
Sorry for the no show tonight I had crazy connection issues so I've only just been able to get online.
Ok I am going to try and get this out in one go. I dont intend to offend anyone but this is how I am viewing things.
I dont argue with the numbers, but the expectation that everyone, is expected to bot along yes stack AM for the buffs, yes use hot feet when the situation calls for it but some of us do not work well in close quarters targeting etc, I for instance pick my targets to make best use of things like infection and Flashfire and cannot do that if i have to waste my time tabbing through every enemy in close quarters. When we hit the EB in the TF we did not all have hotfeet running but he was still owned just like every other mob in the TF, from what I saw running in ended up with the most faceplants.
The other point I was making was that "Listening" really did not have anything to do with some of the issues of timing, for instance AMs although we were not perma 5 or 6 stacked all the timed we still owned, I know for a fact some people are losing interest due to this attitude and the who should we follow confusion.
The tactics you describe also require us to be close at all times and having a single voice for the go command but hardly anyone waited it was look for the most interesting mob and aggro.
I will agree that the infect, flash, cage, hot foot tech works well on hunts but in a mish with closed quarters and tight maps there needs to be more organisation with ppl assigned tasks.
i.e, initial radiation droppers, Cagers and flash droppers to start the fight then use hot feet and char to clean up. This would allow all three to be dropped on the mob at once and prevent them from being able to initially respond to the attack.
I am not saying this should be the only way to do things but it is one way to save on the repetative rinse repeat and allows for people to still be comfortable with how they play.
Another thing is the harsh comments on how people play, in game there have been many comments about don't use thgat power cause I dont like it [blah] reason. This really doesnt help team synergy as long as we are going well (which we were) why complain about how someone has chosen to build their toon and which powers they use to achieve the goal. If its working it must be alright I could understand if it was causing team wipes but we owned .
Ok Ranting Done. I just want to see this SG succeed and it wont happen if we fall apart because of people being told how to play the game, its for fun if you cant have fun you wont play the game
