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?

Open Beta

Iziki Demoness (aka Ruby)
Beta is now officially open to the public so head over and check out the new shinies! Save the Lost! Visit the Romans! Take your place among Lord Recluse's elite fighting squads!

C0PPER and Iduna in a slugfest with Maruader
Or if you are at work and are tired of Itunes, tune into a podcast with Lead Writer, Hero 1!! Or maybe Positron and Castle on issue 12? The downloads are at the top in 2 parts.

Child of Nature, Izi, and new guy, Glowyrm

Ebon Mauler laying the smackdown on Dominatrix
Happy May DBers! And happy 4th anniversary of CoH to you! Your "Entertainer" badge awaits your log in during the month of May.

First of all, open beta on the Test server will be happening on the 6th! So if you want to head over and check out the new shinies in issue 12, you'll soon have your chance!

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.

DB's very own Dry Icicle and Ahne Toreph at PvP Kickball in Pocket D

Jello, Bubbles and Bosses -- oh my!

Well yesterday I went on my second successful Hami Raid since i9. Here was a result that wasn't uncommon. It took a little over two hours and I came away with an acc/mez HO. All in all, not a terrible experience, but I think once the technique is more commonly known, it'll go faster. I raided with HUB (Heroes United in Brotherhood), which is a channel I was invited to awhile back. Good people and a great resource to build teams from.

As requested, I have put out the feelers for another base raid. Link (AKA Dotenshi, Phantom Breeze) from Bandit's Brigade and I have tenatively set up Sunday, May 18th @ 3pm pacific/6pm eastern. How does that sound for everyone?

We should have a contest. I don't know what the prizes could be, but maybe you have suggestions? I think we should rename the various ranks of the SG. Sound fun?

As a blaster and usually a player of squishie characters, I don't usually get a decent look at my enemies. In the past, I have brought you pictures of Dr. Vahzilok and Clamor and now, for those of you who haven't seen her up close and personal, Countess Crey. Somehow I never figured she'd look like a librarian....

All IO'd up and no one to Cage...

Patiently waiting on Raid dates and times. Will bring teabag as needed. Also breakfrees and blues. :-)

Welcome Ace of Kane!

Just a quick post to welcome our newest member: Ace of Kane!

I wanted to run over to get a screenshot of him but I was in Crey's Folly and he was in some far away zone...yeah, I'm that lazy :P

Him and I were left over in a PUG...we were soon joined by Chica, Dirka, Cap, and some of our other crazy compatriots so suffice it to say, I was impressed he stayed for the entire time. It says something about his character and/or insanity!

Welcome to the SG Ace of Kane! We're a nice bunch and we hope you enjoy your stay but unfortunately, pending further SG policy, we don't leave a mint on your pillow everyone morning :D

How about it fellow DB'ers? Any tips/hints/secrets that he should know about in order to thrive in the SG?

Tip #1: "Always play in SG mode damnit!" - Azrhiaz, copyright 2006

Tip #2: Using a base telporter without pants on is frowned upon. My apologies gang...I'm still sorry about that...

Happy Earth Day!

Dunizel and some participants from the Intro to Base Raids class
I wanted to run the Numina TF or the Eden Trial today but got called into work and it turns out I won't have the time! But maybe Sunday night? Gotta celebrate Earth Day with the DE, that's for sure!

Speaking of trials and taskforces, have you ever wondered about the different IO pools? Certain things in the game will yield different results on drops so if you've ever wondered, here is a link that will tell you what recipes are in which pool so you can streamline your efforts (and keep your fingers crossed!)to get that recipe you are looking for!

Tomorrow there is an exhibition match between Triumph Ladder teams, Old School and Paragon Elite. If you've ever wondered what high end arena PvP looks like, come on out and observe the matches. This will be happening Sunday, April 20 (tomorrow) at 6pm pacific/9pm eastern. After the matches, I'll be hosting some kickball and perhaps the teams will join in for a bit of fun. Kickball, if you do not know, is simply an arena match that chooses two captains. The captains take turn picking who is on their team until all players are picked. So if you are looking to test out a toon, please join me in Pocket D!

Positron Speaks!

NCsoft NorCal Studios is pleased to announce the pricing and details for the coming Optional Additional Character Slot feature. As we previously announced, we heard the request for a system to allow more characters on a single server and this is our answer. City of Heroes is a unique game that offers many playstyle options; options that are growing in a large way due to Powerset Proliferation and the addition of the Villain Epic Archetypes in the next free expansion, Issue 12: Midnight Hour. To accommodate playing more characters on your favorite server, we will be including the following features in Issue 12:

All current subscribers will receive 2 free character slots, each of which can be used on the specific server of their choice. This is to help you make new characters to take advantage of the new features of Issue 12, even if you already have maxed out your “home” server’s character slots.


1 free character slot will be granted retroactively on a yearly basis through the current Veteran Reward system. Every 12 months that a subscription is maintained will unlock an additional free character slot that the user can apply to the server of their choice. Thus, existing players will be eligible for up to 4 additional character slots at the launch of Issue 12. This will continue into the future for Veteran Rewards given out every 12 months, so you get another slot for 5 years, another one for 6 years, etc.


Additional Optional Character Slots will be available on a purchasable basis. These are one-time fees, not an addition to your monthly subscription rate. The additional slots can be had at the following price points:

• 1 Optional Character Slot for a one-time fee of $5.99
• 2 Optional Character Slots for a one-time fee of $9.99
• 5 Optional Character Slots for a one-time fee of $19.99


Players can have up to 36 slots per server, with an update to the character selection screen that lets you re-organize your character list by Drag and Drop, as well as easily flip between up to three pages of characters available on that server. All customers benefit from these great new User Interface features included with the revisions for Optional Character Slots.

The above features are planned to be made available at the launch of Issue 12: Midnight Hour, which is currently in closed beta testing. Be sure to check out this feature, along with the rest

Like a bull in a Crystal shop

Cast and crew of a very well done Eden Trial. Please note that no fleas were picked up on anyone's fur during the making of this Trial (Although Woodsman WAS itching alot).

This bad guy is big. Like NBA center big is small compared to him. This was the best shot I had taken without chopping his head off. Well we did that after we beat him, but I digress.

Well another Trial has come and gone, this time the old Devouring Earth got smacked around. We went into a dark hole in the ground, then it was light, then we went in another dark hole, and then it was light...whoa this Trial is turning out to be "X" rated.

In the end...ok not a good segue after that last joke, hmm umm, ok when we were all done, we had fun and had a few spare ambrosia inspirations to boot. If you have never done the Eden Trial before, go to our SG base, teleport to Eden and you will be at the contact for this puppy. It is fun and one of the more unique Trials/TF/SFs in the game. And grab a spare ambrosia or two in the storage BEFORE you go (doh!).

By popular demand...

It was at this exact moment that Limited Visibility noted the desire to have the temp snowball power.

...Then the Debt Brigade saw him. Hannibal Lecter said, "Ready when you are, Freakshow Tank," stated in a slow methodical voice only serial killers can be comfortable with.

Yeah that was a nice long TF, spanned over 24 hours it did. We took our frustrations out on the tanks, medieval style. We all were humming, "Your own, personal, Freakshow..." Seriously, dude has cartoon mallets for hands...how does he wipe?

Sweet Sixteen!

Phantom Breeze (Dotenshi/Link), Skyline (Colder), Thurrisaz (Az), Eduardo Foster (Baba), Limited Visibility (Makin' Debt)
It was a wild and chaotic romp through the sewers to finish up the Sister Psyche TF! With only support characters and a warshade, we were hard pressed to defeat the Freak Queen, but we did! Colder was probably dizzy from switching back and forth from lobster to squid when Phantom Army(s) were down! Baba super long DC kept us safe in a bubble and we made it through, got our recipe and a few levels along the way! Congrats to all on a job well done!


I'd also like to congratulate the supergroup on moving into the #16th ranked position for prestige earned on the Triumph server! Congratulations! There's not a ton left I can do with the base, so if your 50s need money, please don't feel guilty playing out of SG mode (did I just say that?!?). But it would be nice to keep your lowbies in SG mode as long as possible. Also, keep them logged in! Our 30 day inactivity kick is still in effect. So make sure to keep your toons happy in their home and not on the streets, alone and resourceless! :)

Riders have approached me on another raid. We have some neat toons being leveled that would be great in raids. Any suggestions on when we'd like a rematch?

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.

ReVampirella

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! :)

Intro to Base Raids official thread

Congratulations!!

Please join me in congratulating Ebon on the arrival of his new daughter!!!! Here is how it came off Reuters:

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Ebon Mauler and Mrs. Mauler would like you all to know that our healthy Baby Girl has arrived!
Mom and baby are doing well! We have named her Isabella Arianna Margaret Little. Date and time of birth is 6:05 am Mar 3 2008 and her weight is 7 lbs 5 oz.

Caleb GM Spawn team

Need high end villains (lvl 40+) to help spawn GM Caleb in Nerva. Forming starts at Saturday March 1st at 12 pm PST/3 pm EST. Look for Planty Man/Planty Girl duo of domination with dirty deeds done dirt cheap by dang dandelions of doom. If we large enough we can lky lower toons. Forming up on CoT Island with Thorn Tree (where you go for villains respec mish) in Nerva.

Great Fun and Great Drops from St Martial SF

Ice Mistral loves our PWNage. From left to right:
A bunch of Ninjas about to be sacrificed for the cause, Mars Bringer of War,
Grizzly, Spellfrost, and Planty Girl and her killer pet Venus Flytrap, Frito. Back row, CoT, smited for their awesome salvage they hide in their hats and socks.

The Death Brigade is alive and well, so when you get bored of those all blue skies over Paragon, don't forget your dark side is a fun place too. I cussed out Positron for all the dufus changes to the game, like the TF/SF nerf, the economy system that is modeled from well, some bad idea. It worked, I got Hamidon Goo and Prophecy, as well as Freebird +stealth. I swear he heard me say I was gonna stuff my 21" LCD up his broad backside if I got one more Trap of the Hunter or Glimpse of Abyss drop at the end of a TF/SF.

Anywho, roll a mind/fire dom and be a FoTM, role a thermal corrupter and bask in glow of others flames (which you set), or dust off that ol' stalker and see how it handles itself. But mostly, don't be afraid to come on out.

This weekend, our wicked plans our being set. I have yet to see this Caleb GM in Nerva. You can spawn him but need help, and I plan to do so. Time TBD, I am gunning for Sunday right now.

Insert Title Here

Azrhiaz with TPVPL team, Laser Kitty a Go GoWell many of us are reassessing our raid toons. I recommend listing your top two in a reply so we know what we have to work with. Speaking of raids, the villains are asking for a rematch. Here is a thread you may be interested in reading prior to that event. :)

I will be hosting an evasion class on Wednesday if anyone would like to come at 8pm PST. This will help you refine your reflexes using Hibernate or Phase Shift. The longer you can stay alive, the better! We can also use some blasters to help with this event.

I recently wrote an article for the City Scoop on the Test PvP League. It made the front page as well as a spot on the loader! Read it here.

A big welcome home to Baba and a huge well wishes to Ebon on the very imminent arrival of a new addition to his family! We can always use another tank! :)

St Martial SF

When: This Sunday 24 Feb
Who: lvl 35+
Where: St Martial (duh)
What: AV that spawns a zillion baddies at 50% health, good times
Why: I want the TF Commander badge on my villains. And the XP. And the Salvage. I have given up on getting a good rare recipe though. They suck and so does Positron.

Raid Team Q&A

Howdy all.

Lets get the ball rolling on the issue of PvP builds with what our team should consist of.

Got Vent? If not get it. Talking to one another instead of typing will increase our potential dramatically. Az has listed the server info in another post below. You can ask a number of people (me included) for the password online.

A great big thanks to everyone who showed up for the RoA raid. It only proved to me more that with the right combination of ATs and solid builds that we can be unstoppable. The enemy we faced was totally prepared And is ranked #2 on the SG pretige list. We lost yes but with random ATs and very little IO'd. Their victory was not handed to them. It took them over 55 minutes out of an hour to beat us. A damn good job considering.

Melqar hits the big time!

I was priviliged enough to get invited into the closed Beta testing of the Manticore/Psyche wedding. I figured it was worth taking an extended lunch for! So I was requested to come as a villain and being that Melqar is tall, I figured I'd be able to see better. If you were unable to attend the "live" version yesterday on Test, this was a special event that allowed 100 players to witness an RP wedding by the devs. They transported us to Ouroboros for this ceremony and turned off everyone's powers. We all stood and watched as Manticore and Psyche took their vows. At the closing of the ceremoney, Lord Recluse and his goons arrive to wreck the special day and he turns on everyone's powers and PvP (for about 60 seconds) ensues.

So today, they have released the official comic and Melqar is all over it! Including his own frame on pg 21 where he's beating up Castle!

Comic PDF

I'm so giddy! LOL

Riders! Fall Down!

That's right boys and girls! The Riders of Apocalypse raid is bearing down upon us! It will be this Sunday at 3pm pacific/6pm eastern! A true test of hero vs hero and our determination will be at hand! So download the new vent info and get on it and make sure it works. I hope you leveled your toons the way you wanted and are ready for battle!

Just a reminder, Sunday Night Smackdown is every Sunday (usually). I will be holding it at 7pm on the 17th! So if you want to practice with your peers, c'mon out. Arena is significantly different than raids, but still very educational!

New patch dropped today! Read all about the new monitor system that lets you see how your IOs affect you and other sweet stuff.

So what were the results of your double xp weekend? I got Melqar to 50 (#8!) and mainly concentrated on earning some influence on Azrhiaz to IO out my raid toons. Azrhiaz is almost done and Lumeir is next. I think I made about 50 million. If you've notice, the market is just silly overpriced, so if you have any low level salvage, especially arcane, sell it now for a tidy profit! A alchmical silver normally sells for about 10k, they are going for 40k now. Regenerating flesh I sell for about 25 is going for 10k! Stupid, silly people. They can throw their money at me, sure!

Let's Get to Leveling

Here it comes, boys and girls, Double XP weekend! Either level those toons or make some influence for IOs! We've got some new friends in the SG (some of them are villains in disguise :wink:) so make sure to give them a warm welcome! I'd also like to welcome back Doctor Mercy who has been gone from the game a long time and has recently returned! We have new Vent now, courtesy of my friend Raid in the PvPEC! We have our own section, so pop on in if you like! The settings are:
Host IP: 64.34.164.243
Port: 3424
contact a leader for the password
I have cancelled Smackdown for these next two Sundays, due to the Stupid Bowl and double XP so if you have any interest in setting up some SG events, by all means speak up! Iduna needs some TFs, and I'm always up for some Katie runs. We also haven't done the Eden Trial in while and that's always fun.

If you're like me and have a boring ringtone on your cell phone, go here in the new Multi Media section of the COH boards to download some of your favorite in game sounds! Here's a good one for Colder!

And if you like cheese and poor audio, you might find this video amusing....

Raid went well....right?

Sound off with your comments on the raid.

Double XP!!

Lookie what we got!


February 8-10 has officially been announced as double xp weekend!

Therefore, the raid with ROA has been pushed to the following Sunday 2/17 at 3pm pacific. Don't want to lose out on all the bonus!

Saddle Up, Hombres!

Good news! We have 2 base raids coming up! The first one will be with our villain friends this Sunday at 3pm pacific! Bad news! They just earned the fusion generator which is nigh impossible to destroy. My buddy Panther Pink Ink Man (stalker) will be joining them so you better not stand in one place too long! Great guy but damn he's a good killer! lol

The second raid will be with our old pals, Riders of Apocalypse! The good news! They have an IoP so we can earn a rare badge if we "steal" it! We also will have reinforcements if we need them cause many people will join us for the fray just to get said badge. The bad news! Well, most of you have already been in their base so you kinda know what the bad news is. Being the #2 SG on Triumph has bought them quite a bit of artillery. They also have a fusion generator so yeah, not gonna be an easy one. Debt, damage taken badges up for the taking!! This raid will be on Feb. 10th at 3pm pacific. I'm hoping by the time this raid rolls around, we'll have the fusion gen as well! At this point, I wouldn't mind farming for it a bit! Sheesh.

On deck for February as well: Double XP weekend! Valentine's Day Event! Read more aboout that here!

Raids, Raids, Raids

'Tis the season for raids! Please remember the base raid coming up on January 27th! Is there a time anyone preferred? I know they wanted to do it later so I'm thinking around 6pm pacific.

Melqar will be leaving Death Brigade for a short moment this Sunday to join our villain friends in a raid against the Furioso Family (villains). Over 600k prestige, I will not forget! :)

I will be running a Mothership Raid soon for those who would like to join me! Probably closer to the end of the month since I have NAMM this coming weekend.

Sunday Night Smackdown

Tomorrow night Smackdown is going to be held in Recluse's Victory. So come on out and let's try to earn some kills for the fusion generator! We *really need it since I was stupid and placed a gun down without considering the power it would consume. I had to delete a bunch of stuff to get the base to work (the gun cost me 5 million to buy the rad pistols so no, i wasn't going to delete it :P)

Please feel free to invite people to the SG. And PLEASE make sure to keep your toons logged in (especially you, Garl). No one wants to be part of an SG that looks inactive with toons never played.

Happy New Year!!!

All the best to everyone in the SG and the coalition!
