Loads of fun, as usual! It's been a while since I've done the Katie TF, and the St. Patrick's Day theme rocked! Which witch is which? We weren't the only team lining up to run Katie, so we opted to do more of our pics following the run. Mission accomplished! Our biggest issue was that Amy can't be teleported to the exit during the cave escort mission--a pretty minor issue at that. We absolutely wrecked Mary Macomber's cabal. Just chillin' with Katie after the TF. Katie's the one not on theme. 🙂

I have the TF available on my toon, if that helps.

On Indom we call that a Kaze (or Kazi or Hamikaze). Ideally, we do a Kaze with a league of 40+ dropping Lores and being TPed in, and even then it's risky. If you fail, you've probably left Hami with a triple-bloom and that zone is useless for the night. It really doesn't take much to fail: Take too long coordinating after the Lores and buffs start flying? EoEs start to expire while you're in Hami. Too many people without Lores (or not yet level 50)? Not enough damage. Tanks can't hold aggro on mitos, or people start getting stunned out? That's a league wipe. (The Indom league doesn't always succeed even with a league of 40--last night, we wiped on a failed Kaze and followed that up with a nearly-failed Zerg in our backup zone.) A Zerg is one round of mitos, as opposed to the designed method of successively clearing each round of mitos. In case people complain that the game is too easy--@Gristlebone's accomplishment is an example of what a well-coordinated, well-built, well-equipped, well-prepared team can do, and not an ordinary thing. Well done!

I'll be there with Fraulein Mental (mind/kin CTRL) in green witch gear.

Yeah, on my main, most of power tray 8 is macros for commonly-used emotes (Hovr = Villain Stance 2, which is my go-to hover stance), with the last three slots being costume powers. Tray 9 is a costume change emote for each costume slot. (I've been meaning to change them around because I've changed a few of the costumes.) And I have my base passcode in Tray 4 (Base). Everything else is actual powers. Tray 4 is mostly travel powers (I still keep TT, MT, and ATT in the tray just so I can see their recharge timers). Tray 5 is mostly rezzes (3 rez-other powers from Day Job and temps and 3 rez-self powers from prestige and temps). Tray 6 is buffs from accolades and temps. Tray 7 is mostly summon temp powers. I have a lot of temp powers I've never used up. 🙂 Just in the last week or two, I put Sprint back in my tray (Tray 3, slot 1) because I pulled my stealth IO out of Mystic Flight and put one into Sprint, so I can toggle stealth without landing. Oddly, on Live I'd never learned any of the macro or keybind stuff. Here's one where we can see your violet--and Lady Stygia's black.

Double MC! Two theme teams for the price of one--what a bargain! 🙂 Our starting lineup. Or is that the usual suspects? First run complete. Second run, faster than the first!

You have to enable Team and Dual inspirations to drop before they'll drop during play. You'll find those options at the P2W Vendor.

That kinda happened in Man of Steel (maybe not refugees, but I don't recall seeing a whole lot about the incoming fleet/ship). Marvel played with it a while back with the whole New Asgard storyline (and they're laying groundwork for it now in MCU).

It's not that you're not allowed to play someone who acts like an edgie asshole. It's that--acting like an edgie asshole--you have to expect that some people will react to you like you're an edgie asshole. Expecting people to treat you according to the brief exposition in your bio while you're acting like a different person pushes the bounds of even reality-warping spin-powers. Sometimes, you have to actually RP the character you wrote.

As far as I could tell, indigo in this game is one of those really deep blues. Maybe only slightly deeper than the blue in my avatar picture. Indigo is kind of an interesting color, since I thought about using it: Indigo - Wikipedia. Apparently, Issac Asimov thought indigo wasn't distinct enough from the other colors to merit its own rainbow entry.

I'll bring Sunset Smash, my WP/SS Tanker, wearing Red.

I only got start/end pics, but I did catch the Dead Peppers:

Characters transfert from CoH to CoH Homecoming
FrauleinMental replied to Icy Chiller's topic in Help & Support
To quote David Tennant's Doctor, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." All the accounts, characters, supergroups, bases, etc., from Live are long gone. It is relatively easy to rebuild. There's a P2W Vendor in each starter zone and Pocket D who sells all the veteran powers from Live. There's no Prestige, so base-building is free. And the Community is still pretty supportive. -
I'll bring Sister Lyra (Fire/Willpower Sentinel).
-
Thanks again, @TrixieKixx, for setting up the TF and herding the cats! It was a hard-fought victory. Those green mitos really gave us a run for our money. Also, thanks to the people in Help chat who gave us suggestions! I removed Taser Dart from my tray at around level 10, and I'd never used Day Job: Tear Gas. I only got two pics: Bots, Bots, Bots! Completion!
-
I'll bring Jean-Luc Wick (Beam Rifle / Willpower Sentinel) in Locutus costume for LGTF next week.
-
Tons of Council, tons of fun! Happy Valentine's Day, Theme Team! Starting lineup! Starting lineup, but I tried a different costume. 🙂 Time to "arrest" all the Council. Vandal, going down like a chump. Completion. Finishing lineup, before the dance-off to save the universe. 🙂

I've been doing a little of each. I spent nearly all of my spare inf (10B) on 1,000 Winter Packs. I resold 100 Winter Packs last month for 15M each just to get back a little seed money (after the listing fees I had less than 100M inf left). I resold another 100 last week for 19M each, and I have another 100 still listed on the market for 24M each (figuring they'll sell eventually but I don't need the inf right now). I still have 200 Winter Packs in my inventory, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with those yet. So I've opened 500 Winter Packs (yikes!) and most of the winter-o's have been selling for around 15M each (except for the Entomb set, which I've been converting). I'm about halfway through the sales of those. I'm at about 5B inf liquid, plus 2B I've already spent on other stuff, plus 4B worth of stuff posted for sale, plus 3-4B worth of stuff (once it sells) still sitting in my email. (Frighteningly, AH fees have hit 1B inf...)

I have noticed a tendency to put up their PFF as soon as the hold drops, but that's just been my experience. Did your hold stay up through the PFF activation? I've found on my main (Mind/Kin CTRL) that my most reliable control against Fake Nems seems to be knockdown. Or you make the Fake Nem watch through his precious PFF, while you obliterate his comrades, and eventually he has to face you alone. But it does break the steamroll rhythm. Personally, the more bothersome ability from Ascendant Archons is Detention Field, because it's not a hold, placate, or anything else that mez protection or Break Free inspiration can break.

It's a fairly common trope in the superhero genre, because it allows you to have unique beings. You get Superman without also having to have a generation ship loaded with an entire population of Kryptonian refugees. One could argue Batman also follows this trope, even though he's human, since he's the last of his family. Wonder Woman also plays with this trope with her recent backstory of being the last of the Greek Gods. It's a frequent trope in RPGs as well, because it's easy to make a character without the "weaknesses" of family if you kill off the family in backstory. It's potentially a lonely trope, which makes it an easy trap for edgelords. Avoiding the trap almost invariably requires the building of some connection to another person: Superman has the Kents, Batman has Alfred, WW has the Amazons (in some stories, at least). Frequently those personal connections help define The Last of Their Kind in ways Their Kind could not.

I'll be there next week with my main (Fraulein Mental, Mind/Kin Controller). I adjusted my Fairy Theme costume, which is that mind-shredding pink-purple shade I love. Get ready to Defeat All the Council! 😱

Loads of fun and a couple team wipes to build character(s)! Interestingly, the Defeats counter on the Strike Force Complete box fails to mention at least a half-dozen times I died: once with Trix in the radio tower, and like five times in the final fight. Also, lots of low-visibility, from the low light of Lord Recluse's conference room to all the auras we had running!

The monthly Patreon payments also could be perceived as a subscription, with whatever additional legal ramifications that might bring. There's also the extra cost that gets paid to Patreon.

I'm in. Thanks for keeping us online!

I only got one that wasn't in the dark before the run. As always, a lot of fun!
