And the winners are....!

A big hearty congratulations to Ebon Mauler and Dry Icicle on winning the Two Against the World tourney on Triumph! What a nice birthday present for Deep too!


It was quite crazy on the Perez map but Ebon and Deep soundly won the tourney with 16 kills with a tie for second with 10. Ex Libris will award your titles in early August.

Happy Birthday Deep!

Raid Cancelled!

I'm sorry but I have to postpone the raid. So it will not be tomorrow. It is rescheduled for the same time on August 3rd! I forgot I had a tournament planned and there's no way I can squeeze the two in!

If you still want to get your PvP on, please come out to the Duo Free-For-All instead! The Two Against the World tournament will be held in Pocket D tomorrow (Sunday) night @5pm pacific/8pm eastern! You and a partner will get thrown into the arena to try and win the most kills against up to 7 other duo teams! For more information and signups, go to this link! Rumor has it that Ebon and Deep are gonna step out to do a bit of damage! Remember the tip I gave ya Ebon and you'll clean up!

Also starting on August 1st, the Rikti will be back to try and take over Paragon yet again! Need the accolade? Now's your chance!

How Did Dbl XP Treat You?

Well alas, the excitement is now done and over with! With double xp weekend drawn to a close, what did you accomplish with it?

I reached 50 number 10 with bane spider, Hagelaz. 19 with Cactaz, 45.5 with Britney Blades, and new widow, Furiya is now 15. I'd like to congratulate Kinzap, Brain Basher, and CrystalClear on reaching the big five-oh as well!

3 DB'ers in one place! O RLY?

Hey gang. If you've noticed, I've been absent lately from Paragon City. Well, I'm pretty scarce as it is so maybe no one noticed :P

Anyhoo, I was out in Los Angeles for E3 and Az was gracious enough to let me take up valuable space on her couch for the week. Awww...what a great SG leader!

It was great to finally meet Az and Deep also made a trip down to see everyone's favorite ice blaster. Good times...and bonus points to Deep for buying me a shot and the three of us dinner! Hmmm...I think someone is looking for a SG promotion...

Seriously though, a big thanks to Az for her hospitality and a big kudos to Deep for making the drive down. I know a bunch of you DB'ers live in California so next time, I demand that you drop everything on your schedule just to see and appease me :D

Colder, Azrhiaz, and Deep. What a fine looking group but damnit, I wanted to be the only Asian in the SG! Boooo!

Double XP!

First off, congrats to Nina Nails on hitting 50! Also congrats to Death Brigade on earning the Scorpion Surprise turret and nearing 10 million prestige banked. I hope you all enjoyed the new layout heroside also!

Secondly, this weekend is Double XP weekend. Starting Friday and going through Sunday night. Don't miss out in leveling some of your favorite toons!

Base raid on the 27th. I have a Duo FFA tourney at 5pm so might have to leave early, but I'm sure you guys can handle the Knights very well on your own. Make sure to have some salvage for pylons pre-made!! If we drop them quickly, you can all come to the tournament! :D For more info on the tourney, click here. Get on vent if you haven't already! Login info under the "About Debt Brigade" link here on the site.

Happy Birthday Garl!

Hope it's a happy one! No graphic, I'm at work! :(

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July to all the American DBer's! We Canadians already had our celebration :P::

July Happenings

Nothing on TV? Come play COH!
The Dark Knights of Overkill tell me they are up for another beating! So how about we beat them and we BEAT them this time. Let's organize a team of 6 to be our pylon placers! This event is scheduled for Sunday, the 27th at 3pm pacific. Please give me an RSVP to let me know you'll be coming!

What else fun is happening, you might ask? Well it's about time you had twice the fun you had before! DOUBLE XP WEEKEND is happening on Friday July 18th thru Sunday July 20th. I'll be hanging with Colder for part of that but I'm sure I'll still manage to get to 50 before most of you do. :)

As you can see, the heroside base is under construction. I sent a PM to pohsyb (he's a developer at COH if you didn't know) and finally heard back from him in regards to the Dimensional Vortex DC issue. He said he forwarded it on to the person working on bases! So no answers there, but hopefully, something will be done about it soon. I will be putting the majority of teleporters into one room and wanted a bigger workshop. The workshop won't fit however, so I had to put in two small ones.

As you can see from the picture above, I have earned the Field Crafter badge. So if you need some generic IOs, I can craft them for 1/2 price. Also a reminder of the freebie IO storage in the planeterium! Take what you like!

We mentioned doing a shard TF. Anyone want to do it on Saturday the 12th? Sara Moore is kinda long so we might want to start early. But the maps are fun and talk about a tall AV!

Happy Birthday Colder and Chica!

May two of my favorite DBers have an awesome birthday!

Raiding. . .with Children?

The Debt Brigade officially joins the I Love Kelly Bundy Fan Club
No doubt about it. We love Kelly Bundy. Friendly, fun, and keeps coming back for more, what more can one ask for?

The Dark Knights put up the fight of their lives and successfully defended against our floudering attempts at pylon drops. A dark day for the Debt Brigade, but we sure as hell had fun trying!

Baba, Colder, and I discussed having a pylon drop team for next time. Their only job would be to create and drop pylons. They will be well prepared with salvage and work together to get those suckers down. No more horsing around, yo.

I'm hoping that there aren't too many hard feelings with some of the Knights as they were a fun bunch and I'd love to raid with them again. I truly felt most of us did a good job avoiding the spawn, but with their tactics of hanging around that area and doing foul invader deeds, it made it difficult to avoid it totally. Ah well, what is a defending team supposed to do.

I'm going to write an email to Pohsyb about the base and see if he answers. At least we know it's not necessarily the arcane generator. I'm sure everyone would love that DC issue fixed. Unless IOPs come back of course. :D

DB Happenings

What's up with that lipstick??!
Hello all! First things first: Base raid on Sunday at 3pm pacific? Who's coming? Haven't heard a lot of talk about this one so if people don't plan on coming, I'd prefer cancelling it and not cutting my fun short at the beach! If you are showing up, please speak up! This will be against a friend of Deep's and she tells me they can probably field the whole 16 people.

Speaking of PvP, I'll be hosting a tournament called Around the World this Thursday night at 6:30 pm pacific. This is a tournament is fun because the weightclasses vary each round so you'll be fighting at a different level each time! Always good for a few laughs. More information here I know ya'll talk about doing more PvP, so now's your chance!

Oh and if you want to work on your build and some IOs, here's the latest update to Mid's Hero Designer.

Anyone have anything they'd like to do? A taskforce perhaps? I know Garl needs to do the ITF and we have a few that need to do the Ouroboros ones on either side. I'd be more than happy to do any of those.

Beatdown anyone?

Brain Basher, Hagelaz, Nina Nails, CrystalClear (and Kinzap hiding in the back somewhere) face off with the Superfreak
Deep has a friend who wants to do their first raid with us. I suggested the date of Sunday, June 22 at 3pm pacific. You know our normal day/time. How's that sound for ya'll?

Which brings me to our generator issue. We will need tech salvage to replace the dimensional vortex with the fusion generator. I'm sad to see the arcane version go but I'm not sure what else to do. But please drop off your base salvage and I will get to crafting it.

Lumeir and Captain Thundar to prepare to face Vandal and Romulus in the ITF

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!
