Signups for 2 Aug - “Praetorian Invasion” - Future of Freedom (Lord Recluse, Level 45-50) - Any AT/Powers, Praetorian costumes

Looks like we're a bit short for a LRSF tomorrow, so I'm going to call it cancelled.

Did that work? I don't think I can do that since the majority of my posts are AE reviews with screenshots of the action. I'd leave most of them just empty!

No, it didn't. I ended up posting Google Drive links to my screenshots of last night's GM event on Indom.

I couldn't post any images in the forums, but let's try the Google Drive links. (It gives me the opportunity of sharing the raw images instead of having to cut them down to fit the post limit.)

I've had the same issue since last night. I was at 80% allowance, and I've since gone through and deleted attachments to get down below 40%.

Since we didn't have a formal theme this week (summer holiday weekend), I did a solo Dr Q TF.

“Q Meets Q” - Explorers and Exploiters (Dr. Quaterfield, Level 40-45) - Any AT/powers, Q costumes (whether it be Star Trek Q, James Bond Q, Dr. Q, or some other Q)

Two costumes: Dr. Q (left) and Star Trek Q (right).

The first of several "defeat 50" hunts.

Up you go, Bull Natterling!

Taking the Shard Fall Express to the next mission.

My mini-Kheld Lore pets helping me finish the final mission--the infamous "defeat all" in Oranbega. Just over 3 hours.

As with the first movie, we started with only three Ghostbusters.

Ray's laying out the trap(s)!

Only 1 death, not bad at all for Posi 1. 🙂

Starting Posi 2, we still haven't found our Winston.

We're in Faultline...get your donuts!

Also, idk if you know this, but it's a fun fact: for some reason, Dominate doesn't seem to be coded as a positional damage type (Melee, Range, or AoE), which means all versions of Dominate, whether from an Epic pool or from a core power set, work as melee attacks on the yellow Hami mitos and anything else that is only vulnerable to melee attacks, 😄.

I didn't know that, though I had damaged the yellow mitos before. If I'm reading the tooltips and COD right, that seems to be the case with all of the Mind Control powers.

June 22

We'd done basically this procedure last night, but there are some tweaks I can make to my main using some of your additional info:

I'm used to playing my main (Mind/Kin/Psi Controller) more toward support in trials, but maybe there's a lot more damage potential in this fight if Tyrant doesn't resist Psi damage.
If -regen is useless, then Diamagnetic Interface is likewise. I don't know about -MaxHP from Degenerative, either. Reactive (either Core for -res or Radial for DoT) or Cognitive Radial (Psi DoT) may be things for me to try out.
I think I have crafted both BP and Carnie Lores.

I am not sure if we need to cancel this week (and potentially consider having a summer hiatus or something since we seem to have lost quite a few of our players).

I just started looking at themes for July and wondered if we shouldn't take off 5 July for the (American) holiday weekend.

June 21

It looks like I'll be able to make it today, in case we're still rolling. I'll bring Sunset Smash - WP/SS Tanker

Fourth run, Ouro speed run in Villain alignment. The only difference is clearing all mobs from the lab mission except those guarding the "assets", then freeing the "assets" and escorting them to the lab.

Even then, after waiting 15 minutes, Dreck and most of his goons still refused to come to the lab. Some of the mobs refused even to be pulled away from the next room, but I finally pulled Dreck down the corridor towards the lab and killed him. I then made another sweep to make sure all mobs were cleared from the map. (So "Defeat Dreck" also includes all the ambush mobs?)

Achievement Unlocked: Brass Tax.

June 20

I've also tried this twice without triggering the bonus mission:

Mostly as @twozerofoxtrot mentioned above. Dreck and most of his spawns congregated in the first major room beyond the lab and didn't come down until I went up to get him. Even then, most of his ambush spawns didn't come to the lab, so I hunted them down (they're the ones who see through stealth because they're ambush). I think I got them all, but it's possible I missed one hung up in geometry or something.
Ouro speed run, quickly stealthing everything until the Crey meeting. In the lab mission, I freed each of the "assets" but left them to solo Dreck at his spawn point.

One thing: I did them in Rogue alignment. ~~I'll redo in Villain and see if that makes a difference.~~ EDIT: Third run in Villain alignment, still no bonus mission.

Cheers! I'd spent a couple hours and several orbits missing the plaque on the side of the Langston Corp building.

Yes, please. I may be there, but I'm 50/50 so I don't want to set it up.
