TraumaTrain

Round one of the Seed of Hamidon takedown went smashingly well. Twenty people showed up. I formed a league which I redistributed into three teams. We got both badges. Seed went down pretty quickly. Fun for all! I'll run it again in several hours at 6pm EST. Thanks for everyone who came out. Special thanks to @Rocketeur for helping me lead the fray.

I would play Sonic Melee, but it doesn't exist. I would pair it up with Sonic Armor. But that doesn't exist either... 😞

What are the power sets that have an attack with a built in teleport? Savage Melee, Shield Defense, the Leaping pool... Any others?

Awesome! How about we run this twice on Saturday. 10am EST and 6pm EST. I have at least a couple characters that would like to collect these badges. I'll start advertising in the LFG channel about a half hour before those times.

You can usually catch me in the evenings on week days and all day on the weekends. @rich and @rich 2. Let's try for Saturday? I also want to do the three zone events from Praetoria proper.

Although... reading the entry on the wiki, it seems like the thing is more of just another giant monster. It suggests a solid team or two can bring it down. I'll advertise for it in the LFG channel and see what I get.

I know we do momship raids and (regular) Hamidon raids every night, but do we ever do the Seed of Hamidon raid in First Ward at all? I've never done it and I have some characters who keep telling me to get it done.

Which zone are they in? I noticed the SG portal in Mercy Island isn't awarding time toward Monitor Duty.

Personally, and I have not run the numbers and made studies of it as some folks do, I prefer the scrapper crit ability over the brute fury ability. Depending on character concept, I'll choose whichever one fits best.

Any new server needs to be called Trauma Train, thank you very much.

That's great! Not entirely perfect, but definitely good enough. Thanks!

That is unfortunate. I fingered as much, but I thank you for your very prompt reply. Any possibility of trainwhistle being switched to right-hand animation, or is that a big to-do with too little benefit?

I would really like to see a Sonic Armor power set for the melee ATs and Sentinels. Sort of a Sonic Resonance, but for self. Resistance based, obviously. Sonic Barrier and Sonic Haven would be a good start. Make them toggles, of course. A PBAoE toggle version of Disruption Field would be cool. A toggle or click self Clarity. Sonic Cage could be in the Sentinel version of the set.

So, I remade my character Trauma Train recently and gave him the Shields power set. Super happy with his current set up: Martial Arts/Shields Scrapper. Unfortunately, he lost his signature emote, the trainwhistle. Apparently it doesn't work with Shields. I suppose it is because the shield is on his left arm and the emote is done using the left arm. I am super sad I won't be able to toot my horn and then Shield Charge into the fray. Can the trainwhistle emote be altered so that it is the right arm doing it? Alternatively, can it be made to work even though the shield is out? Is it a bug that it doesn't work?

Heya, Cobalt. What server are you playing on?

I'll help you do this if you want. Invite one of my toons into your alt SG and make him leader. We'll coal up, and then make you leader again. Not as quick and convenient as what you'd like, but quick-ish and convenient-ish. Send me an email in game @rich I'm usually in game every evening. Like... every evening.

I do exactly this for some of my toons. I have Praetorian versions of PE characters. [PE] Meta-Vac (emp/electric defender), and [Praetorian] Cardiac (electric/regen sentinel) are essentially the same dude. [PE] Man-Orca (sonic/sonic defender), and [Pr] Killer Man-Orca (sonic/energy sentinel). [PE] Toy Bin (bots/ff mastermind), and [Pr] Workshop (electric/devices blaster).

I don't have one, but maybe one of the folks who hosted the contest (The Cool Kids SG) has one.

That was a fun costume contest. (Tsov Tom here, aka Rich.) Some really good looks! Millennia was super. Great name too. And Angry Invader's Marvin the Martian costume was awesome. I'm glad I made it home in time to catch it.

That's a very nice resource. Thanks!

Ourobororobobobo - my robotic time clown.

That is a really solid explanation. Thank you! Just as a follow up question: does it matter what the original level of the IO was? I'm thinking it does not (other than, as both of you pointed out, a set that is rated at level 30-50, for example, loses its set bonuses if you are mal'ed down below 27).

I'm still confused by attuning. I understand that an attuned enhancement stays you're level as you level up. But, does it mal down with you if you're mal'ed to a lower level person? Such that you keep the percentage bonuses on things.

Donated! I just made it in too! Now back to my regularly scheduled content...
