Cool videos, Nicko! As you said the AI is actually an artificial BS here. I have used many defense teams in my attacks and almost always won but when I can't control the game those teams are just squashed when used as defense. VHE is a monster, I wish I had 20 something Skill Shards right now, I would slap them all on him ;)Quote:

Not a Saturday speed team by any means - but better than I thought!
It should blow that opportunity a lot less in an upcoming update. There was a scenario where characters would not use their Fury which we have made a fix for, but are still putting it through it's paces with QA to ensure it's cleanly fixed.Quote:

Same for me, do not hesitate to take a video if you fight versus my team :)
Ps: your assassin Eddie is very badass :)
This is actually great news. Now that a fix for AI using Fury moves is coming, will we be getting a tweak to the general PvP AI at some point or do you guys feel it's where it should be?Quote:

It will eventually become the focus, just perhaps not in the immediate short term. Believe me, I want my defense to not derp just as badly as everyone else :pQuote:

Ok - will do these as I see them - I know I fought some of you guys today - def DJE - but hadn't looked at this...will check back here and there - maybe a separate thread? I know it's fun seeing how your defense performs. Or maddening, depending on your perspective :)
Haven't seen you today Dave Murray (heard you a few times though ;))
Mjm - finally ran into you. Best fight out of the three I've recorded because
1) You went first
2) I violated my "Don't take the team of morons against Prisoners" rule
Enjoy!

Pretty epic fight. I need to shard VHE and GUAS. Those two chars really get shit done on offense! Glad to see my team wasn't completely mindless. It's very different in "test defense" mode. That's some high quality footage you got going on there too. What software are you using?
Your team did well! Prisoners usually target VHE and in this case he was down for half the fight.
I've liked the Gunner UAS ever since I'd faced him on Sparton's team. The Sentinel Allied Soldier also has the crazy heals and cleanses instead of shields - so he may be even more useful - but if you can keep him untaunted and keep feeding him power, those heals and shells on the G UAS really create a fortress. It's a role the blue CotD does pretty well most of the time.
If someone already has GRE sharded they may need to think long and hard before dumping the 27 shards or so into VHE. They're very similar. Neither do true damage on their basic - both retrigger on their basic - both are fairly fragile - both revive the team with their fury. VHE can revive an ally (70% chance) with his power move, GRE can heal himself with one of his basics (VHE has no heal). GRE minces Nomads and AoFs, VHE obliterates Gimps and GCRs. Both great - but unless one is a shardoholic like I am one of the two would probably suffice.
The software I use is called Screenflow. Super simple to use and records right from your phone. It looks like it's Mac specific.
