  1. oooo, she's my favorite of your toons! And great concept for this theme.
  2. We have missed you too, Emmy, and yes we are going strong every week! We had Themer Meetup #2 last June with me, Trixie, and Bananiac in California! We'd love to have your humor, knowledge, skills, and friendship.... even if only occasionally. Sign up anytime!
  3. Silver Mantis SF - Stone/Earth powersets - Costumes portraying a Rare Earth Element Saturday, January 13, 2024 This was a really fun theme! It was great seeing what everyone created. Some even took the extra step to include a matching name! And I caught two themed backstories.... let me know if I missed anyone, send me a screenshot, and I'll update your solo picture. Tanker, Crystal Golden by @TrixieKixx (I just love your story about her! And I love all the fine details of her costume.) Greystone, scrapper by @Jaxman100 (I really like your name. So classy with a hint of ancient, and definitely rugged.) Lanthanum Lethe, dominator by @FrauleinMental (Riveting story!) Neodymium-60, dominator by @Burnt Umber Scrapper, Crystal Moonstone by @Midnyte Yttrium Flare, tanker by @Bananiac (That face!) Six rare earth elements This map is always so interesting Lethe's Decoys to Crystal Moonstone: "We'll show you how it's done!" The Neodymium Imps were marvelous Always fun and challenging to "lure" Duray out! He was melting like butter so we changed to Plan B: "Take him out here!" And Air Pirates/Pirate Hunters we became! After the SF, some of us went in search of Rikti Invasions @Lividus made a league I really enjoy whacking away at those bombs! ~The End~
  4. Ah, did not know that! I thought it was supposed to be one of the 17 "rare earths". Duh! ----->heads to costume creator
  5. Great idea! A sure winner, I'd think!
  6. Interesting theme here! I didn't know what it meant until I researched the 17 rare earth elements from the periodic table. The disappointing thing is the colors are all so boring! Grey, white, beige, etc. Haha, so I may deviate from that a bit when I choose my element to represent. My character will be Crystal Moonstone - Stone/Stone Scrapper Friday night edit: Crystal Moonstone will be representing Erbium in all its pinkness 😄 Edit: Here is the list if anyone needs a reference: Lanthanum (La) Cerium (Ce) Praseodymium (Pr) Neodymium (Nd) ----> @Burnt Umber chose this one! Promethium (Pm) Samarium (Sm) Europium (Eu) Gadolinium (Gd) Terbium (Tb) Dysprosium (Dy) Holmium (Ho) Erbium (Er) -----> @Midnyte Thulium (Tm) Ytterbium (Yb) Lutetium (Lu) Scandium (Sc) Yttrium (Y) ----> @Bananiac

  10. I've been sick with flu alll week so haven't thought yet about who to bring to TinPex, but count me in. Tell me what AT would round out the team and I'll bring it! Also, Trixie, looking forward to these fun themes this month. A couple of years ago I made an illusion controller in anticipation of this! She's still in her 20s so it's perfect. 🙂 Super excited for the Valhalla theme too!!! And what amazing news to wake up to this morning! We're playing a real game again! (partially facetious because it's been "real" to us all along 😄 ) but you know what I mean. @Bananiac: "Elvish Impersonator"! That's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time! Very clever. 😄 I am gradually feeling alive again, and will update tonight or tomorrow with my Vegas gal! EDIT: @TrixieKixx: I'm bringing a scrapper. Luna Las Vegas - Staff/WP Scrapper
  11. Positron 1 & 2 TFs - New Year's Eve costumes Bonus zone Winter Lord Saturday, Dec 30, 2023 We were small, yet effective Brangwen, brute by @TrixieKixx @FrauleinMental, controller Dominator Garden Frost by @Midnyte Philodendra, dominator by @Burnt Umber Pepper Sprinkles, blaster by @Jaxman100 Some NYE libations Positron 1 has commenced Snowball shenanigans while training Closest I'll ever get to PvP 😄 Positron part 2 Opening presents in Atlas Park to spawn Winter Lord
  12. Now you know I can't resist a chance to be sparkly, count me in. I haven't decided yet who shall be the lucky recipient of Rule of Three, Dam Villain, and Positron's Betrayer, but will update here. I've been busy all week still logging everyone in for Home for the Holidays. ☃️ I am SO enjoying being off work, and my family & I have had a wonderful Christmas. Edit: I'm bringing my baby dom: L14 Garden Frost - Nature/Ice Dominator And afterwards 😉😉 if anyone in the mood to spawn a zone Winter Lord, my storm/stone sentinel would love that!
  13. Clever use of it! I'm putting that in my bag of tricks. 😄
  14. Winter Event and Costumes Saturday, December 23, 2023 Five Themers signed up and we picked up Joe Mamma in the Ski Chalet Potato Dumpling, candy-striped tanker by @TrixieKixx Festive controller, @FrauleinMental (Is that the sci-fi skirt? Or is there a fur-lined flared skirt I'm not remembering?) Corruptor, Horrere, scary yet festive look by @Burnt Umber The tricky & festive Smiley Goblin, corruptor by @Bananiac Crystal Moonstone, scrapper by @Midnyte Awaiting further instruction from Father Time. We had to rescue Baby New Year several times, and also defeat Lady Winter. Lots of gift exchanging going on! Time for some recruiting to try to extend our festivities to other lonely Indomitable players Added Joe Mamma and away we go! "Defeat Lady Winter" mission Watch out for flip-flopping snowmen! It was truly a Badge-a-licious™ day Some of us switched characters for even more rewards Lady ShadowFrost, defender by @Midnyte Hostia Usta, corruptor by @Burnt Umber Sandy Claws, scrapper by @TrixieKixx Wylde Winter Witch, defender by @Bananiac Opened zone presents in Kallisti Wharf to spawn our very own Winter Lord GM Could he be waving hello to us? Let's find out! A merry time was had by all! ~The End~
  15. I don't consider this going against everyone's grain.... I think I was the only one who stated that preference, and for me it's a fairly new preference. Back on live, my most irritating thing was running out of endurance. I was a recovery fanatic! Once I discovered regen for the recovery, it was glorious. And then when willpower came out, and it had resist and defense and regen and recovery, all rolled into one delicious package, I was hooked forever. (Note that all this is before taking into account IO set bonuses and incarnate abilities). So when Homecoming started, and sentinels came to be, I started making them left and right because I was enthralled with the AT! And HC was not stable at first so every day we logged in we didn't know if it would be the last. And I used willpower on all of them! I was obsessed with /willpower sentinels in 2019! As my playing ability has become more experienced, I yearn for more actions from both sets just for the fun factor. And that is the only reason I was recommending a more lively secondary for sentinels, because that's what I've been experimenting with lately. I hope you enjoyed my little backstory of where my preferences come from 😄 😄 😄 Oh that would be terrific! I'll be in-game as well. Not much holiday stuff in my family anymore with both parents gone, and my sister's and my 4 kids, aged 26 to 30, spread out now and hard to get everyone together at one time. Gone are the days of big family parties at every holiday and occasion. It feels right for this time of my life. I turn 60 next month and I'm ready to have less family obligations and more of my own leisure time for gaming and traveling and hobbies and projects. Anyway, so far this event I've done lots of rounds of BNY missions on big teams, a few Lord Winter's Realm trials, but very few zone GM Winter Lords. i'm open to anything! And may switch characters a few times. Thanks for offering your team/league management duty!
  16. Awesome! That's my Poison Petals, and I agree it's a fun combo. I should bring her out to play more often. Mine is only L40 so Cherry Blossum has surpassed her! (btw, I'm off work too until after the new year!) You're welcome, it's such a fun task for me every week. I agree, it was excellent fun! I saw Cub appropriately scrapping around the edges, and I focused completely on Reichsman too which took all my efforts. I didn't know what was going on around me. I hope that was the right strategy. I seem to remember a time where we were told to switch between him and the mobs that come running in, but I may be thinking of something else. I just kept taunting and attacking and debuffing over and over and over. 😄 My ice defenses are not built up heavily yet for any good tanking but I did okay with lots of inspirations and all that good healing/buffing going on. 😍 LOL, you're welcome! It's one of my favorite parts as photographer to see what kind of funny closeups I can get! Sorry you were late but you got there in time for the best part anyway 😂
  17. Wow, welcome to the wonderful world of sentinels! IMO, it's the easiest AT, well-rounded, all-around fun and easy. Master of nothing yet good at so many. I found a seismic/stone sentinel I had made a while ago and was sitting there at L1, waiting for some action. I put her in some Baby New Year missions and she leveled to 18. I'm really enjoying it. Looking forward to trying @Jaxman100's build with the +range bonuses. (btw, great name! Mine is named Terra Tremora. 😄 )
  18. Oh good! This means you're coming to visit me, right?
  19. Barracuda SF - Mutants and Monsters Saturday, 12/16/2023 We were a small but mighty team of 5 and a nice mix of ATs @TrixieKixx brought her plant controller, Ima Wallflower, in this crazy get-up! I chuckled every time I saw it and could not resist some close-ups Pepsis Regina, making another appearance to the Theme Team, dominator by @Burnt Umber Christmas Frost, brute by @Midnyte Amphibian Man, sentinel by @Bananiac (such a great look, wish I'd gotten a close-up picture) Cub, beastly scrapper by @OldTimeRocker Check out the bottoms of Cub's paws! Let's roll! Really wanted to ice stomp them! But alas, I caught up with the rest of the team up the elevator First AV on our agenda... Numina Mr. Comb-over A funny little glitch we encountered here Found Ghost Widow hiding in this little room that you wouldn't normally think to check 😮 This battle with Reichsman took 22 minutes! But it was not a struggle, no team wipes, just a long exhausting battle where we needed to have all our wits about us ~The End~
  20. I made one the other night, played winter event to L18. Love it! Will take a look at your build at some point. Thanks!
  21. Sounds like a great strategy... I'll start paying more attention to slotting my cones for range and also global +range set bonuses. Thanks!
  22. That's true, and I think it's such a waste to slot for range and try to be more blaster-y IMO. Better to use whatever AoEs you've got and be more in the thick of things. You're built for it.
  23. My Ocean Goddess is water/regen ♥ her SR is what I built my archery sentinel with. I like it, although the archery set itself doesn't feel as powerful as some of the other sets. Maybe just my imagination. Hmm, don't I have one of those? I'll have to log in and check. or maybe it's one I built last year who is still sitting and waiting for her turn. 😄 I got burned out on making (not playing) sentinels since I was so overjoyed with the AT since Homecoming, so lately I've been broadening my Midnight Dames army with controllers/defenders/doms/corrs. Thanks for this opinion! My only electric sentinel is elec/energy and stuck in her 30s for a couple years now. So many toons, so little time...... 🙂
  24. I love sentinels but then again, I'm pretty casual about the numbers for a build. I rarely use Mids, I just slot mostly sets and tweak as I go. So that said, every sentinel I've ever played is fun. Kind of a dream come true for my style of playing where I want all the protections but yet the convenience of ranged attacks. One thing I'll suggest is to choose a secondary that has some button clickies, like radiation, to keep from being bored! haha, as good as willpower is, it's kind of boring, a "set and forget" powerset, and so is regen. I find my favorite sentinels have secondaries that DO something. And I have a lot of flavors! Currently I have six L50 sentinels, and a few more in their 30s/40s. If I had to choose a favorite combination I'd say ice/rad. (P.S. If you have a good feel for playing a blaster, you might be disappointed at the lower dps of a sentinel. I personally have never really enjoyed being so squishy so never played blasters much, either on retail or HC. So that's why I say a dream come true for me, being able to play a blaster set but with the protection secondary.) I'd say roll up a few and see what flavor you like best!
  25. For the mutant Barracuda, I'll bring Ocean Goddess - Water Blast / Regeneration Sentinel EDIT Fri night: I'm choosing a different mutation character: Christmas Frost - Ice/Ice Brute
