Base Raid Butt Kicking Time

Vazkor and the Torment Monument on Infinity
I talked to linksys from Bandit's Brigade and we are going to set up another base raid for Sunday, the 14th. My question to you is: what time would work for you? We will be scheduling it between 1pm thru 5pm, so gimme some time in that frame that works for you. I personally would like to do it at 5, but am flexible! There is also a hero group hitting us up who wants to taste the wrath of the hall of death, so bring it on! :) They want to do it on February the 21st.

Welcome back Karrnage! I see Ngine has snuck back in too! Yay for family reunions!

There will be a Mixed 2v2 tournament Sunday if anyone would like to enter it. One villain and one hero against the same. Prize is 2 million inf, I believe. Hit me up for more details if you are interested.

Issue 11: A Stitch in Time

So who's excited?

It all seems pretty cool. Hopefully the power customization will extend to more powers in the future. In the meantime, my Cryo gun APP will at least look half decent :)

Redoing Story Arcs and badge mishes is what I've been dreaming of. Hopefully I can finally snag those missing accolades and powers (Crey Pistol for the thematic win!!!)

Task Force: Force Stone Victorious!

Triumph stomps Hami

I wasn't able to be there the whole time due to a tournament on Justice that I had to run, but I snuck in to second to last mito spawn. Led by Radiabatz, Triumph has finally beaten Hami. Global Heroics, Fusion Force, and the Wild Cards set this up so there was a big showing by them and lots of other friendly faces were there in the goo. Congrats to Triumph.

Incidently, who took all the EoE inspirations out of the base? I can only assume someone sold them for a pretty penny at WW cause there was no DBers with me last night. :(

Great fun on the Numina TF with Ebon! Today is the mothership raid led by moi. After which, Shatter-Storm has offered up the spelunker badge mission to anyone who needs it.

Numina Success

Great turn out for the TF!

Special thx to Charron (aka Azrhiaz), Divine Angel, Rubyfire, and Tommi Gunn (aka Garl Darklord).

Numina TF

Hi All

I would like to run numina tf this weekend some time if anyone is interested. I will be on Sept 22 between 1:00-1:30 pst to get it together. If it doesn't happen then I'll be on that night around 8:00 pst to try again.

If anyone else is running a TF, look me up. My global is @Black Praetor and I'm online usually at the above times on both Sat. and Sun.

May the Debt NOT be with you :)

Mothership Raid - Sunday 11am

Hey all! I am going to try to organize a raid on the Rikti mothership this Sunday morning 11am pacific/2pm Eastern, so if you need some merits, come join us!

6pm pacific there will be Sunday Night Smackdown. This week it will be in Bloody Bay so get yer butt in there and help us earn the fusion generator!

Ebon was talking about doing some TFs in the future so let me hear which ones you'd be interested in doing!

Im Alive!

Hey everyone! How have you all been? Ive had lots of stuff going on lately sorry I haven't been around to post or even get on CoH. I should be returning soon HOPEFULLY! Been busy with a move and working and raising the two kiddies. There's only so much a Superhero can do by himself! I miss you guys and hope to see you soon :)

Splatfest Extraordinaire!

Wow! I'd forgotten how much fun base raids were!! I had an absolutle blast and I would like to give a very formal salute to Deep, Zero C and Minx for kicking some serious villain bootie! And thanks to Ebon for showing up, albeit too late to join. :(

We defended first and being our numbers were low, Bandit's Brigade loaned us an ice/emp troller. Things went pretty much by the numbers and we had a good time smooshing them. We only went 30 minutes since I figured we'd only have an hour or so and BB deserved a chance at smooshing us back.

So then we attacked their base. Rough start but we spawned right near the generator. We managed to remove some base defenses and Minx snuck in and hid behind the generator while the remainder of us died to keep her cover a secret! Usually using Azrhiaz in an attack, I am glad to have brought Lumeir. Nothing is quite as delightful as the ol' sand trap and a snowstorm maneuver! The AOE queen was quite the annoyance I'll wager! ha ha! You can't jump up here now, Sucker!

Deep pops elude and tears off into the heart of their base with 4 villains chasing him back and forth. Zero C is beating on the dominators for TKing her and Minx and I are busy with the generator! We go for more distractions and lay down 3 pylons! The generator BLOWS! They are running like mice before the cats! MEOW! But darn it! only 3 minutes left (we opted to do the entire hour). If we'd had Baba's pylon-laying finesse and a few more bodies, we coulda taken that base and spray painted DB all over the walls. :) SO CLOSE!

And no one DC'ed! What a great day! I had SO much fun and am so proud of the team! You 3 did an AMAZING job! Especially with the odds stacked against us, and all those MM pets!

BB would like to get raids going on a regular thing, so stay tuned for the next epic battle! :shakes the can of red paint:

Oh and if you are jonesing for some PvP, Sunday Night Smackdown is tomorrow night at 6pm Pacific. There will be a 5 Fall Last Man Standing event featured, but it's just casual night otherwise. We are 2/3rd of the way to the Fusion Generator so keep killing those baddies! (750 PvP kills nets us the badge)

Marvel? DC? Pfft

A Day in the Life of a Rock Statue

Over on the Justice server, they are having The Amazing Race event that will be for characters level 1-4. Prizes seem pretty decent. Anyone want to do this avec moi? I'm thinking a bubbler might just do the trick! :)

Post report

Hello all, Baba checking in briefly in between mounds of boxes and packing paper. Move is going as well as moves go. We were in a state of panic...we live in the boonies ... like dial-up connection boonies ... like not even newer dial-up boonies. Almost ordered satellite internet but then did some homework and found out it is very bad for online gaming (latency issues). But it turns out our house sits on the edge of Verizon broadband connection, so with an antenna boost, I can pay a small ransom fee to play online again. We should be up and running in about a week or so, might try and take a break from unpacking this weekend if we can. Hope all are well.

Love
The Kanooshes :-)

PS Tech and Chaud are coming back? Man I need to dust off my one liners for the reunion!

Grats to Polar Gale and Lost Senpai

Please congratulate Lost Senpai on his reaching a million prestige! Way to go! According to a friend, DB rests around 25th in the Triumph rankings! Nice job to all!

Also a hearty grats go to Ebon Mauler on his attaining a new 50: ice/storm troller, Polar Gale! Woo hoo!

Grats to Deep and Granny!

A big congratulations goes out to Deep on his winning ticket in the Lottery with Alpha Radiation. He also cleaned up and took first place in the Treasure Hunt sponsored by the Paragon Regulators. Granny VXN tied for 2nd with 3 others with 6 statues and Deep Fryd had 7. If anyone needs a loan, hit him up! :grin: He won 10 million, an HO, and some wings! Lucky duck! The Treasure Hunt had you looking for "statues" all over Paragon with very vague clues to where they were! Was rather infuriating LOL!

Obsidius and the statues
Don't forget the raid on Saturday! I hope we get about 8 people! So far I have interest from Deep, Chaud, Chica, Colder, myself, so we need a few more!

Sunday Night Smackdown was a lot of fun last night and there was a great turnout! Was fun caging Cap and blowing Chili Penguin dead with a well-timed inferno!

Mothership Raid

At 3pm pacific/6pm eastern, there will be a big mothership raid going on as part of Rush Weekend(look for Emerald Fusion's post). I think Catwhoorg is running it, but I will be there doing my best to earn some merits, so look for me! It's bound to go on for a while so come and kick some Rikti butt.

Reminder: Tomorrow (Sunday the 9th) is the official kickoff to Sunday Night Smackdown which is casual PvP event that will be held weekly at 6pm pacific. So if you are bored with the XP grind, come on down and do a bit o' PvP!

Happy Labor Day!

I hope everyone has a great holiday! Glad to hear Tech got his computer fixed cause we've missed the Chauds immensely! :)

Chica is running Citadel tomorrow at noon pacific.

The Bandit's Brigade (remember them?) asked if we'd like to raid with them. He suggested teams of 8 and I figured we'd be able to pull that together at least. Tenative date is September 15th, Saturday, around 5pm pacific. Please RSVP in the comments and let me know if you are up to it.

Sunny Delight and I are starting a Sunday Night Smackdown which will be a "Come show up and PvP" type of gathering in Pocket D. No time or level requirements at all. It will start on Sunday, September 9th at 6pm pacific/9pm eastern. Our theme will be 2v2s so maybe Melqar and Zandryne can go kick some butt? :) This will be a weekly event so if you can't make this Sunday, maybe the following?



Best wishes to the Kanooshes on their move! Please welcome back Divine Angel to the fold. She was one of our founding members after all!

New Powersets for i11

A quote from Positron IIRC:

"Dual Blades was the winner of the "offensive powerset" poll. Psionic Weaponry was second, and Street Fighting was a distant third (but strangely had huge forum support in the discussions).

The winner of the "defensive powerset" poll was... Shields. And we did try to implement this for Issue 11. The only problem was to make Dual Blades as cool as possible, that left us without the time to get Shields done in time for the release. Shields is the single most complicated powerset we will ever do. The amount of animations it involves is staggering. But we DO KNOW you want it. It is on the list of things to get into the game!

Willpower was second place, and a lot simpler animation-wise. Castle had some really cool ideas for it, so it got the greenlight. (Third place was Growth, another troublesome-in-the-engine powerset).

So there you have it. I expanded upon the troubles of Shields a little at PAX, so those of you who caught me there got the full story on that, and probably shared it elsewhere in the forums that I haven't read yet."

Also other DB news, Colder and I have decided to lower our prestige requirements for storage access to 100k. We also may be acquiring a new coalition group in our old buddies, Riders of Apocalypse. More details as this comes in.

In September on Friday the 7th, there will be a SG fair in Galaxy City near the main hall there. We could use some new members so if you'd like to come out for this event, pull on the ol' SG threads and come mix with me. :) The whole weekend will be Rush weekend with lots of activities. Look for the thread in Triumph forum.

Chica wants to run Citadel TF on Monday at noon I believe. Deep also mentioned doing Positron. Have a happy Labor Day weekend all!

The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers...

Well Shakespeare may have had a bad lawyer day when he went down that road, and I feel his pain. I was trying to organize a charity event in game for some organizations that support wounded troops coming home. To sum up my efforts I will post my email to Ex Libris, who was helping me in this effort:

Subject: Re: Charity Event for Troops

Well Ex I finally got answers from both charities. They do not wish to have their organizations name, links, or calls for support posted on the game as they feel they would be endorsing this company or its products. In the end it is all typical excuses from lawyers to run away out of fear of potential legal issues. So, my effort to help raise funds for their worthy cause will be a no go. If I wanted to organize an event, say such as a walk-a-thon or a charity run where people pay to participate and the money then goes to them then that is ok. However, if I go online using NCSoft's game to do so (ask for support), well now we have the lawyers involved, or at least on their end. Oh well, this world bothers me to no end at times. Politicians and Lawyers will run us into the ground. Oh well, I tried. Thank you for giving me direction in the effort.

Baba


So as far as I am concerned, this countries common sense meter is pegged out on "DUH." What can you do. Well see you at the polls in November until then, I need to move my family up so I will be on and off for the next week or two.
