A flip book story on the LRSF that could (n't)

Once upon a time there were these 8 villains who had dreams of sugar plums and Malta drops in their heads...Before...

...After

Now as villain groups go, this one was quite PUG-ly. And we know what happens in PUG-ly little groups of villains. Someone quits when you need 'em most. So without a RAD to hang their hat on, this PUG-ly group of villains fought on to their dream quest, knowing that fate was about to take a dump on their retirement plans.

They traveled far and wide. They even traveled into the future...

High my name is Planty, I like long walks on the beach, toons that don't quit in the middle of TFs, and hiding BEHIND the Hero's nasty Rain of Arrows.

...And faced many a foe.
They fought them all with valor and vigor. Many times, they did not succeed, lacking RAD-ical methods to DEBUFF their obstacles before them.

...Count the upright Heroes and then count the fallen Villains. COUNT THEM HA.HA.HAAAA.

Facing their final battle with such lack of power but no lack of SASS, they flaunted their best ASSets to their foes...
...and then promptly got wiped like a babies bottom.

The End.

We had fun but when the rad corruptor busted out the "wife aggro sry GTG," well the end was closer than the finish line. But we did well minus any solid debuff toon. Shout out to those who stayed, Brick Fist, Khoren, Boy Usagi, Planty Man, Planty Girl, Hoezai, and Seismic ummm...somethingor other (sry cant remember his last name lol).

We will go for it again but until then it was fun. Rock on Death Brigade.

Powers, powers, powers

New I12 Powerset Announcement

Well, heroside as usual got the best stuff and villains did not. Please let us have a moment of silence for all things evil.

Speaking of evil, Baba is running the LRSF this Friday! Dotenshi also wanted to run the level 50 villain Ouroboros mission on Saturday! Join up with one of 'em and get your big bad on!

Congrats on our newest 50s and congrats to Lumeir on making the million prestige mark!

Blog-a-riffic

Hey gang!

I wanted to check in and say hi. I haven't been able to log on the last few weeks due to work, illness, and everything else under the sun. I just wanted the gang to know that I didn't go over to the WoW side or disappeared into the 4th dimension.

Having read Az's recent post about running into Impersonator, the Elvis-wannabe scrapper who inspired our blog's very first post, I've been thinking that it's been about 2 years since this blog began and a little longer since the Debt Brigade first came to be.

I'm looking to open up the disscussion floor: what does everyone like about the blog? What would everyone like to see added? How about the SG in general? How is everyone liking there experience so far? Is there anything Grand Pooh Bah's or senior members do to make things better? Here's a fun one: who recruited you to the group and in what circumstances?

A lot of question but feel free to chime in on any of them. It's been about 2 years for the blog so it would be nice to have a retrospective/prospective look of things to come.

Personally, I think the blog has been great in fostering teamwork and a sense of community among our small but tight-knit group. We also got the chance to get see how we are behind the capes and masks which is always nice.

Anyhoo, sorry if I'm getting all sentimental but I guess that's what happens when you don't play for a few weeks ;P

Hope to see you everyone this weekend (away for the week for work) and for the upcoming Issue 12. We got some Roman-theme jerks to beat up soon!

Oh, some fair warning: I'm going to be harassing a lot of you to help me lvl my Mastermind to 50! I want to try the VEAT's!!! :P

The Planties upgrade, then lvl up, Caleb class 101, and a LRSF too

Well I found some Kingston memory for my comp dirt cheap (2gb for $40) at Office Depot while on an errand and said heck, I can afford that, I just won't drive my truck for 2 minutes and the money saved on gas would go there. So glad I did, our comp's graphics on a medium range graphics card (ATI 1600 pro) are simply amazing now. I put in some screenies of Brick Fist, Planty Girl, and Marvin the Spartan from Death Brigade hammering Valkyrie to show the results. Click pics to enlarge. If you have the spare change make the effort to upgrade your memory, best thing you will do to help your system out.

Meet Caleb, a single GM residing in Nerva. Likes: long walks on the beach, a nice book (of evil spells), and puppies (preferably with BBQ sauce). Dislikes: Mean people, the sun, and members of Death Brigade and their friends.

We also had fun spawning Caleb, not too hard with a nice damage dealing team. Need to take out 100 CoT Spectral Ghosts (any will do, minion, lt, boss) on Thorn Tree isle in Nerva. Must occur during ours of daylight. If you succeed, Caleb spawns at sunset. Tricky part is finding him, he flies WAAAYYY up high and is moving a lot. Easy to drop.

Well several of us want to get a LRSF together. So far we have:

Brick Fist, lvl 50 SS/Invul brute
Khoren, lvl 50 'Bots/Bubbles MM
Planty Girl, lvl 48 Plant/Ice dom
Planty Man, lvl 45 Plant/Thorns dom
Boy Usagi lvl 44 (will be 45) ?/Kin corr

Any other takers? Probably gonna need to be this Friday at the soonest. I have another out of town trip.

Also any hints is welcomed, we are all rookies at LRSF.

Spring is well...springing and things are growing, blooming, and flourishing! The DB base has recently had a new addition in a Mystic Orrery so there was a little bit of room shuffling that has taken place. Make sure to check out our new control unit and get a feel for the few changes made.

There was also talk of the new revamped Hollows zone coming up in Issue 12! Read more about it here in an article featuring War Witch!

Any interest in doing a Synapse TF this weekend? Level 16-20. We also have chatted about getting over to red side to do the new Ouroboros TFs and I know Colder is dying to level up a few villains.

There is still space on the remaining three "Intro to Base Raid" classes over on Test. I know Baba seemed to have a pretty good time with his new bubbler and I tried to adapt to being a support toon on our long lost empath, Dunizel! Thanks to Baba and Dotenshi coming over and helping make this event a success! Again, if you have someone new you want to take on a test drive base raid, now is the time to do it!

I'm saved! Future Add On Server Slots Announced

Thurrisaz
Per Lighthouse:

In reading through all the community feedback (US and EU) and player reaction from the recent announcement of Issue 12: Midnight Hour, the overwhelming consensus is that players would like to have access to additional character slots. With all the great reasons to roll a new character included in Issue 12, we certainly understand the desire.

We want to let you know that we are working on systems to address this community request. Our intent is add purchasable character slots to round out our existing services of Character Transfer and Character Rename. We hope to have this implemented and available shortly after Issue 12 Launch.

As always, we are happy to listen and respond to your requests. Thanks for your feedback and continued support.

Oh and look who I ran into at WWs! The guy who was the object of the blog's first post, the Impersonator!! He also started my hatred of binds and all who use them excessively! LOL

Issue 12 Preview! & Power Liberator

Full update here!

Midnight Squad Content
Roman Style Maps and Costumes
Villain Epic Archetypes
Powerset Proliferation
Hollows Zone Makeover
Major Gameplay Improvements

Looks like some fun stuff!

Riders have offered up the Power Liberator badge (from destroying the forcefield around an IOP in a raid) as a freebie tomorrow night. Should you wish to acquire this rare badge (which will probably never be seen again), log on hero-side around 6pm pacific and we can go in there unheeded and grab it. The remaining IOPs will be stripped from the game on Friday so it's your last chance!

Intro to Base Raids

Electrified Polar Gale on Synapse TF
Well I can't imagine most of us need an introductory class on base raiding. However, the PvPEC will be hosting a number of classes on the Test server. So if you know someone on live who would enjoy something like this (:cough: Bull) or you have a new toon you are dying to see how they perform, sign on up! I won't tell anyone you aren't a newb! :)
