[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

We should also be looking at October, since Trixie is going to miss it.  It's Shardtober, but here's the full list of TF/SF options as I'm seeing them (with levels):

• 10/7 - Dr. Quaterfield (40-45), Apex/Tin Mage (50+)
  • Last cycle (7/8), we did Tinpex with the Fairy Tale theme.
  • Most people consider this choice a no-brainer, since Dr. Q usually takes about 2 hours.  But I love the Shard content.
• 10/14 - Sara Moore (44+), Synapse (15-20), Silver Mantis (20-25)
  • Last cycle (7/15), we did Synapse with the Brain-in-a-Jar theme.
  • There's a chance I may miss this week, since the annular solar eclipse in the southwestern US is also midday on the 14th.
• 10/21 - Justin Augustine (44+), ITF (35+), Op Renault (25-30)
  • Last cycle (7/22), we did Op Renault with the Time Traveler theme.
• 10/28 - Faathim the Kind (44+), Penny Yin (20-25), Ice Mistral (35-40)
  • Last cycle (7/29), we did Penny Yin with the Police theme.

I think @Bananiac had some good ideas for themes, we haven't used them all yet, and 10/7 is close to the German theme.  Any other suggestions?  Any preferences for which WSTs we want to hit?

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

I'll bring Robt Hooke - Titan Weapons / Dark Armor Brute.  Hoping the KB/KD in his attacks evokes the spring motion. 🙂

 

I can run it if needed, but Posi 1+2 isn't too bad.  The toughest part is the last mission of Posi 1, with the Circle of Thorns multi-ambush at City Hall followed by fighting our shadow selves inside.

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

I'll bring Jean-Luc Wick - Beam Rifle/Willpower Sentinel.

Well, he's no Dread Pirate...

 

Just hanging out in the train station.

 

Sometimes, you need a hero.  Sometimes, you're holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.

 

Even Captain Castillo knows you can't get good pics in a cave. 🙂

 

Mission complete!

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

I'll bring Project Isabelle - Bots/Rad MM.

 

I'll likely be out the following two weeks (and themes I really like).  I should be good for 9/23 and 9/30, as well as Shardtober (though Shard TFs are problematic on Indom).

"In love with a Preacher(wo)man"

I've done an all-black sort of suit on my main to look like a priest, though the powersets (mind/kin) aren't particularly "holy" or "unholy" (short of color change).  I could probably do this with my PB, whom I've styled as something of an angel anyway.

"It's raining Cats and Dogs"

Maybe storm for ranged?  I automatically say the phrase in the character of Jack Burton. 🙂

Would the Carnival masks work for this?

"Sentinels of the Galaxy"

I still haven't respec'ed Jean-Luc Wick since the Sentinel revamp.  Maybe that's a good excuse for me to look at that.

"Drain it like a Pro!"

Kin does that too with Transference.  I keep thinking with my main, "Are you gonna use that [Endurance]?"  Maybe that should be her catchphrase. 🙂

"Black-Red-Gold"

On a slightly different topic, I recall a year or two ago we did an Oktoberfest theme.

That being said, and this is kind of a touchy issue for germans for historic reasons, but in my mind nothing says EVIL better then Black-White-Red colored costumes. Most of my toons villain-side end up with such a colorscheme at some point in time. And many of the red-side versions of my blue-side toons usually are just that: change to those colors, maybe a different face and a detail here or there... voila! Evil! 

So maybe that would be a thing for World Domination above.

5th Column agents (or rejects, or escapees, or whatever) could hit a proxy for Black-White-Red.

"It's Water, but it's not!"

Did someone say bier?  It would have been pretty on-the-nose if I'd done "water" powers with Whiskey River (instead of "take my mind" psi/mind).

I thought that was disabled?

 

/enterbasefrompasscode was restricted to where you can use it.  It only works within a short distance of a base portal or from within a base (so you can visit different bases) unless you use LRT or Base TP.

 

The travel powers (LRT, Base TP) had 10s cast times added in PVP zones to halt shenanigans.

[Make long-range teleport points a P2W buyable?]

Wow, as I flashback to Live, when you had to earn the zone exploration accolade--in SG mode--to unlock the ability to put that zone's beacon in your SG base.

Penelope Yin TF - Police/Detective Costumes - Unique ATs

Saturday, July 29, 2023

 

 

Celestiala, defender by @Princess Cecelia (Cece)

 

I wasn't sure if this was who you intended, but I immediately was reminded of Blaze from the Streets of Rage franchise:  Blaze Fielding | Streets Of Rage Wiki | Fandom.

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

I'll bring Empanada Cereza - Rad/Plant Blaster.  Still a couple levels to go to make 45, but I'm trying out my shiny new second account to farm. 🙂

7/29 – Penelope Yin (Level 20-25 – Blue Side: Independence Port) – "Call the Police!" (Police Officers, Detectives, Undercover Agents, Miami Vice, Beverly Hills Cop, CSI Los Angeles, you name it…) - One AT of each type

 

I'll bring Sunset Smash - WP/SS Tanker

The big question:

 

How did you all get it?

 

Started in May 2019.  Mostly pack openings and the last big Winter Pack sale, but I do play my 50s quite a bit (my main is around VL 385) but not so much farming.  My main sits at about 1B inf, 500 Hero Merits, 500 Villain Merits, and maybe 1-2k regular Merits.  I have 3B inf in emails and maybe another 1-2B inf spread among my small stable of around 30 alts.

 

In the 2019-20 timeframe, I would store up Merits from pack openings and sell the ATOs, boosters, and catalysts, and that was enough to make decent profit.  Now, I still do pack openings occasionally (100 packs at a time), only selling ATOs, and it barely breaks even.  I also did a pack opening recently just to store up ATO sets for the next few alts.  I've been posting ATOs for a little under 8M, and they usually sell for 8M (occasionally as high as 10-15M) but take a few days to clear out.

 

I'll generally ship 100M inf to a new alt and grab the double XP boosters, P2W freebies, convenience travel powers (TT, MT, ATT, base portal), and maybe a few other minor things (like full stacks of Backup Radio and Envenomed Dagger).  They'll also spend the tiny cost of 8 hours of each amplifier at level 1, just because.  You can either run the 8 badges in Atlas to get the LRT power or spend the inf at P2W.

Which may also give you some ideas for costumes (David Hasselhoff anybody? 😉) ... 

 

Here's your earworm for the day:  

 

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

I'll bring my main:  Fraulein Mental - Mind/Kin CTRL.

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

I'll bring Cryomania - Ice/Ice Blaster

[SWTOR might be moved to maint mode]

I didn't expect SWTOR to survive the sequel trilogy before Disney yanked the license to do something more closely tied to their story.

 

But I'm glad it did.  SWTOR (and a little STO) got me through the dark times after the CoH shutdown.

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

I'll bring Princess Grace - Night Widow.

[Pyyr, the Little Blaster who Could: An involuntarily solo Faathim the Kind story]

Congrats and well done!  I love all of the Shadow Shard TFs, but they can deter groups.

just spent 2 days trying to get my first Ski Slope Badge and failed

 

I finally got the ski badges recently.  With Hover and either Fly or Mystic Flight, it just takes a few practice runs with how those powers interact now.

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

I'll bring Aluminium Patriot - Energy/Devices Blaster

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

Nice!  I'll bring the MM then.

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

I'll bring either Ruby Kit Kat - Rad/Rad Stalker or Project Isabelle - Bots/Rad MM.

This week has been pretty crazy for me, so I haven't really been on.  I might be on a bit today, but it does seem like we're skipping Theme this week.
