The Halloween Event has kicked off (and I already have 2 new freshly baked level 50 toons 🙂) and I would propose to have a themer event just running this stuff (Kane, ToT, Banners, Tips, AVs). Don't know if we want to give it a theme (other than "make it look halloweeny" maybe), I am fine with just running through some toons with you. Was lots of fun last year farming all those PAPs! Could look at 14th to do that, or the 28th (which is closest to Halloween itself).

All get the badge choice when a team does a tip mission together. I usually solo them at -1 diff, running to the very end boss, and just completing it. Since you have to run it so many times on each character. But hey, to soak up some XP it would be fun to run them as a team too! We'll throw that option into the mix on the date we do the Halloween theme, and then we can decide in the moment.

 

I'd be up for doing a few runs of Kane's HoH this weekend out of Pocket D.  I have a few characters (about 5 or 6) that don't have the badges.  I'd be happy to send along PaPs if people want them to get the badges in one run.  And, I could lead things if people would like.

 

At the same time, I get that people want to do the ToTing first.  If we do that, can we operate out of Khalisti Wharf?  I know a couple good spots there and it'd let us to be a mix of villains and heroes.

It looks like I'll be able to do the Dr. Q today.  So, I'll put out that, if folks need some inf. to get the team teleport, I can foot the bill there.  There's a P2W vendor in the Firebase near Doc. Q.

9/30 - Posi 1 & 2 (Level 8-15 and Level 11-16 – Blue Side - Steel Canyon) - "E=mc²" Take a historic scientist and their discovery as a theme for a toon (costume and powers). E.g. Albert Einstein - Gravity / Time Controller. Or a Cyborg with Stephen Hawking's head/brain-in-a-jar. You get the idea...

 

Sorry for not signing up sooner. I'll bring William "Strata" Smith - Stone/Fire Tank.

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

Unfortunately, I don't think I can make it this week. Best of luck!

Barracuda (Level 45-50 - Red Side - Grandville) - "In love with a Preacher (Wo)man" Clergy-themed costumes, e.g. Priests, Nuns, Buddhist or Zen-Monks, whatever works for you in terms of religiously inspiring or related stuff. Since we're dark side, make them dark and unholy! One of your powers must be Dark related.

 

I'll try to bring Hostia Usta - Fire/Dark Corr.

9/2 - Market Crash (Level 40-50 - Purple Side - Khalisti Wharf) - "Mr. Robotic" - Robotic costumes - Any AT

 

I'll bring Khalkeon - Rad/Energy Tank

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

We can certainly give it a try.  I'm not very familiar with the TF, so can it be done with four?  Or is it more like the endgame TF that sort of need a (nearly) full team?  Otherwise, I'm happy playing for a little bit blueside.

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

I hope to bring Caelum - Storm/Elec. Blaster.

[Incarnates for Veats?]

For my VEATs - my spider and my widow - I've had pretty nice results from using Alpha: Agility Radial; Musculature Radial or Nerve Core might also be nice picks from what I remember of using them on Live.

 

Degenerative is a very popular pick for VEATs on Interface (especially for spiders with Venom Grenade); I also like using Interface: Spectral on my Widow for thmatic reasons.

 

And, I think Ion Core is very popular across the board for Judgment, but I think there aren't really any "bad" picks for your Judgment Slot really.

 

For the other Incarnate lots that you didn't mention:  the Arachnos Lore (Core and Radial) fit thematically with most VEATs and luckily are good in the DPS department; I've enjoyed running Destiny: Rebirth Radial (for the massive heal and +regen); and, I've liked Hybrid: Control on my Widow (with the Radial side of the tree being used by the Night Widow build and the Core side being used by the Fortunata build).  Hybrid: Control Core pairs nicely with the way that Fortunatas lean into crowd control by increasing the MAG of the controls and giving some extra damage to attacks against controlled foes.

Hmm, I think I'll bring (Officer) Eury - PB?  Though I am very tempted to just roll a fresh alt.

I have two questions on this one.  Is this theme costume supposed to be going as naked as possible? And would a Rad/Energy Tank fit the "All Energy" part?

(I am dying to know what the acronym stands for, and something tells me it's in her bio!

 

Haha, I don't believe I have a bio on her!  Her name is a (probably too) elaborate pun:  CRISPR is an acronym for "Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats" and there have been a number of recent scientific news stories about its usage in bio-tech, so I combined that with the idea of a "crisper drawer" in a refrigerator to temporarily rename my mutant plant control character since she'd be in a costume where her mutant brain would be "kept fresh."  Again, it's a silly pun but it got a quick chuckle out of me when I thought of it so here we are.

7/8 – TinPex (Level 50 - Purple: RWZ) – Brothers Grimm / Fairy Tales Costumes! Any AT (don't forget the Battle Maiden fight! Stay away from those blue spots!)

 

By the way, is this for general fairy tale creatures/characters or specific to common European fairy tale characters?

 

I'll bring Pepsis Regina - Mind/Savage Dom.  But I just wanted to clothe her right.

@Burnt Umber: I love this. 🙂 I have used Dante quotes too for some of my fire characters. 🧡

 

 

 

Thanks!  I thought it'd be fun to give a name to my demon horde and the Malebranche felt right.

6/24 –  Tree of Thorns Respec #1 Sparcetriel (Level 24-33 – Red Side: Nerva Archipelago) – Robin Hood - Steal from the rich, give to the poor in your interpretation of this famous vigilante; Archery or Staff powers preferred!

 

Unfortunately, I don't have an archery or staff character.  Would a more modern interpretation work?

 

If so, I'll bring Infirmanda - Thugs/Poison MM.  She definitely has the right persona, and brings her own band of merry men.

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

So, if it helps people decide any better, I plan to bring the MM, since he's a touch better for the group setting.

All in all, an easy task force for the 4 of us

 

Thanks for the photos!  I was kind of surprised how easily/quickly we breezed through the TF with just the four of us.  Props to our support for keeping us from dying not even once.

6/17 – Barracuda (Level 45-50 – Red Side: Grandville) – Military Costumes - Bring a Defender, Mastermind, Scrapper, or Stalker! Let's try to keep it balanced!

 

Let's see, I can bring either Caedes (DB/Nin Stalker) or Alichino (Demons/Pain MM).  Either could use the badge(s), but the MM might be a touch helpful in that last fight.
