Call me Crazy

I was messing around on Mids last night and I noticed something. I could have sworn that to take the top power in a power pool you had to take one of the two first powers, the third power and then be at least 20th level and you could take the top power. It seems this is no longer the case. When did this change? Or has it always been like this and I am suffering from some sort of delusion...

Pay Check

New Task Force

Big. Bad and Bad Breath (the AV too)

OK gang meet the new insanely tough AV in town. If you try him, bring a tank or brute (yes another co-op), an empath or kinetic, and at least one debuffer. This TF is beautifully rendered, fun, and stupid hard at the end. When we gonna live up to our name and earn some debt on it?

post nuke :)

It starts with a skull

and ends with 3 million influence OR your choice of 10 free generic IOs (of any type or level) of your choice!


In any Midnight Club entrance, you will find this skull. Click on it and then follow the many mysterious clues to acquire the Midnighter Archivist badge. First person to post a screenshot of the badge in their listing here on the blog will win the prize! Open to heroes only (since I'm broke villainside) And don't you dare cheat! :)

Don't forget the level 4 fights tonight! Lighthouse will be there around 6:30pm pacific giving out some temporary gold titles!

Also, there is a freebie enhancement storage in the Planeterium room, chock full of free generic IOs that electron kid and I have been dropping in there. Take whatever you like. Just a reminder: this is the ONLY free-for-all enhancement bin in the base. The others are for private storage.

So...What did you roll?

Click photos to enlarge, well worth it, I must say.

So, you have had a few days to ponder it, debate, roll, then re-roll your new issue 12 toon(s???). What did you make? Limited Visibility made a Mace/SR Brute, I made a SS/SR Brute, and Azr went all VEAT on us. We made some hero toons too but I haven't made any screenies of 'em yet...so sound off Soldiers, and Banes, and Villain Stormers, and...etc :-)

Arena Fun - Level 4 Fights

Gonna be hosting some Level 4 fights tomorrow May 23rd at 6:30pm pacific in pocket d. Definitely not a serious competitive event, but always lots of LOLs. So use a new slot, take 20 min and roll a level 4!

Rules:
Natural 4s only
No stalkers
No inspirations
No travel and recovery settings will be selected

Hope to see you there!

The Coming of Cimerora

Well boys and girls, the game will be offline tomorrow morning for approximately 5 hours. Could it be the dawn of issue 12? Will Baba roll more alts? Will Az hit 50 number 10? Will Colder hit "Random" on another toon and be ridiculed once more? If you'd like to find the answers to these questions, don't look in this link because it goes to an article about Cimerora, from conception to final design. Or you can watch a nifty video on the Midnight Squad here.

I won't post about the raid except to say grats to all on a fine job of winning both. Baba's blogs are so much better than mine, I figure I'll let him do the honors! But here are most of us in front of the insidious, booby-trapped dimensional vortex!

Captain Thunder gets a movie????

For those of you been around long enough, our old pal Cap would love this. A movie is in production called Captain Thunder. I just want to know how he gets to co-star with this lady....

Way to go Cap!

Base Raid tomorrow! Sunday at 3pm pac/6pm east

Diabolique
Don't forget to come defend our home tomorrow! I'm giving up my Sunday beach volleyball for this, so you better show up! :) That's Sunday at 3pm pacific/6 pm eastern! Against our villain pals!

I'm not aware of anyone with a customizable weapon character, but in case you have a broad sword scrapper or a dual blades tank hidden away somewhere, here is a link with some of the new options you can pick in i12! Britney is currently working on getting enough merits for the talsorian blades! Deep and I got our Overseer badge for the rularuu weapons! Check out the cool eye they have! They move around too, I'm told! Creeeeepy! Stop looking at me! :)

Mothership raid will be forthcoming! Anyone have an TFs they want to do?

It's been a while since we've done a major taskforce. I haven't done the Sara Moore one in the Shadow Shard in a long time so if there are any takers, let's try for Sunday evening perhaps? Around 5pm pacific? This TF isn't short, maybe around 5 hours (lots of kill alls) and the level range is 40-50. You will fight Ruladak the Strong, a GOD, at the end and it awards the "Destroyer of Strength" badge. I'm flexible on the time and day so if something works better for the group, I'm down. I'll bring Lumeir most likely.
