Get Well Soon Garl

Poor Garl went under the knife due to appendicitus! He got so excited about issue 11 that it burst!

Get well soon sweetie!
-----------------------
Faathim TF this Sunday at 12:30pm pacific. Raid on Sat., Dec. 8th @4pm. Start recruiting!

Issue 11 Hits Wednesday

Yep, you heard me! Roll your Dual Blades or Willpower scrappers/tanks and get 'em in the SG! For more info on the announcement, click here!

I know most of you were awesome enough to come work the Haunted House, but if you missed it, I posted a pictorial of it here.

I think we will be getting rid of the MUNST room. While many people drop off their SOs, according to the log, no one is taking any. So either tell me not to delete it, or help me empty out the bins by selling off the enhancements in them so I can delete the storage items.

Ebon and I would like to do Faathim the Kind TF on 12/2 at 12:30 pm pacific/3:30pm eastern. If we kill the AV at the end 2 more times in SG mode, we will earn the Rikti Plasma Cannon for the base!

Base Raid with our villain friends! December 8th at 4:00pm pacific/7pm eastern!

Prestige bonus! We will be padding the SG roster to get as big a bonus as we can get. If you have any unused slots, generate a hero and get 'em in the SG. You can delete them later! Or if you are really motivated, get yourself a temp account by using the "Refer-a-Friend" feature! This account will be active for only 10 days and you will have to use an email that is not the one on your main account.

Happy Holidays from the Kanooshs

We took this picture in a very bad part of town. There were a lot of politicians nearby (turkey theme). Have a Happy Thanksgiving and hope you all have a great, safe weekend!

Metoid (Keith), Makin' Debt (Deb), Dark Calling (Krista), Baba Kanoosh, (Mike)

Happy Birthday Chaud

She doesn't love us anymore so probably won't see this, but I thought I'd wish Chaud Woman a very happy birthday!

Saturday is the final day for villains in the Haunted House so if you can manage to come work it with me at 5:45 pm pacific, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Next raid! Villains again! Saturday, December 8th at 4pm. How's that sound?

Haunted House Final Days

Well all, we will need some volunteers to staff the Haunted House on test for tonight and for next Saturday! Only villains can staff the Haunted House, but if you have a hero you want to use, bring them tonight and try to make your way out alive! The Haunted House is a ton of fun no matter which side you are on!

Incidently, we are still trying to gain the SuperGroup badge for the third tier generator! It is 750 PvP kills in SG mode so get into the zones and kill some people. We might set up a farm for this in Warburg if you all want, where we can stand around and kill each other for credit! If we have 2 teams of 8, for team wipe, that's 64 credits (one credit for everyone on the team). We can bring a tray full of awakes to make the process go quicker. Just a thought....

Anyone have anything they want to do? MS raid? TF?

Presents for Everyone!

Dec 10th Prestige Gift Awarded

Issue 11 is nearly upon us. As many of you know, the roster for SGs will be bumped up to 150 people. On December 10th, for every member in your SG you will be awarded 20k prestige. With 150 people, that amounts to 3 million prestige!

Suffice it to say with the cost of a fusion generator looming near at 7.5 million, that would come in mighty handy. Clever people have started a network for base padding. People from the community on other servers will drop toons into your SG while you drop yours in there. So I can drop 12 toons on pinnacle for someone and they will return the favor. After the prestige gift, all these toons can be kicked and we will be wealthy! So if you have slots left on Triumph and want to drop them into the SG please do so. I will also be getting a temporary trial account to further pad. Should you choose to help out this way, make sure all the toons have similar names (EG: Azrhiaz1, Azrhiaz2, Azrhiaz3) so we know who to kick after. :)

Touchdown! Fumble!

Great raid to everyone! We had 11 show up to kick some villain bootie and kick it we did!

It might have been me, but they really stepped up their game this time around and while they didn't function well as a raid team, they certainly made their prescense felt in the base! We did a pretty sound job of defending so kudos to all.

Round 2 led us into the Bandit's Brigade base and we quickly dispatched their generator. However, most of us, including myself, forgot to keep components to make pylons stocked on their person so we ran out. What a tragedy! /em kick self. The day could have been ours had we just planned ahead. But we were golden anyway and I'm proud of everyone who participated.

A few of us might want to build our toons a bit more specifically for raids, and Metoid might want to just delete his blaster and roll another scrapper maybe. LOL We also need some emps, I suspect, since we didn't have any. And a rad to debuff those dominators would have been nice. :)

They suggested Saturday, December 1st for the next round. How's that sound? And if it works for you, what time?

This Weekend

Well first and foremost, BASE RAID! Against our villain friends! Sunday at 2:30pm pacific/5:30pm eastern.

Saturday, if there's a bunch of us on in the early afternoon, let's head to the RWZ for a Mothership Raid!

Sunday Night, there'll be some "Kickball" in the arena around 6pm pacific. Just a way of picking teams essentially. Incidently, if you are looking to up your skills, the PvPEC has created a PvP League on Test. It will run for 6 weeks in January and is geared towards all skill levels. More information here!

Congrats to Powersurge' and Silicdan for reaching 50!

Independence and the end of the Reserve

NCSoft acquires full COH rights from Cryptic

NCsoft® Corp, the world’s leading developer and publisher of online computer games, today announced the formation of a new development studio in Mountain View, California. The announcement comes as the company begins a renewed push to further develop the City of Heroes® property, which is now 100 percent owned by NCsoft. Previous to today, ownership of the intellectual property was split between NCsoft and Cryptic Studios, the original developer of the project.

This means lots of good stuff for us players and a team that is devoted exclusively to us. Statesman (Jack Emmerit) will no longer be part of that team. I'm hoping they kill his character off! :)

With the advent of issue 11 and the supergroup settings going up to 150 members, I feel it is no longer useful to have the Debt Brigade Reserve, unless it's for absent players to park their toons. Since we will be getting a 20k prestige bonus for every member shortly after 11 hits, it will pay for us to have all our alts in the main SG. This does not mean you can let them languish however, so please keep them logged in at least once every 30 days. Colder, Garl, this means you!

What are we doing this weekend? A Mothership Raid perhaps?

Base Raid!! Sun. November 11 @2:30pm Pacific

You heard me! Polish up the armor and assemble! It's villain beat-down time once again! Max team size is 16, so get there early!

I'm also working on getting a raid going with our old pals, Riders of Apocalypse!

Bat'Drool pwnzd again

Wanted to thank everyone for the great showing we had for Death Brigade (Villain version of Debt Brigade for those new folks) at the Tarikoss Strike Force. A Hero and an AV, man what more could a kid ask for? What a great SF. It was fairly easy going until the dreaded CoT map, but we managed to coordinate and overcome the issues. Smooth sailing into the final mish, where we squeezed Infernal for a few Behemoth spawns while badge slumming. Note in the picture above, Scourge of the Isles (aka Metoid) pays the price for excessive emote slapping of a Hero. Spellfrost (aka Marsara), then proceeds to protest the Hero's actions. Great fun and the East Coasters even stayed awake through the whole event. I will be posting an invite for the next SF which involves lots of Skyraiders, four unique maps not seen anywhere else in either CoH or CoV, and the peskiest AV I have seen yet. Until then, play in SG mode Villains!

From left to right Spellfrost (aka Marsara), Demon Vine (aka Ebon Mauler), Azrharn (aka Azrhiaz), Solidfade (aka Colder), Mars Bringer of War (aka Baba Kanoosh), Scourge of the Isles (aka Metoid), and Mackie Messser (aka Lady Dark Star)
