Sadly we didn't. We tried, oh pie, did we try. But sadly the think the J-Force had in common was CoH. Witout CoH we found we was all inta different things and nothin' grabbed is the same way. We all stayed friends on Facebook (except Customs who unfriended me, but you know what, I respect his convictions). I would make the J-Force in all the different games I would play, but ta tell ya the truff, i didn't have it in me ta dos it again. During CoH I lived, breathed, and slept CoH. If I wasn't at work i was in the game. That is how the J-Force got so strong. Me an' Mr. Trix where in there every night of every day. And when we wasn't in game we was on the forums. Which was the best part anyway. Remember, smart phones didn't exist. I worked retail and at one location I figured out one of tha work computers was connected to the internet and I used that ta post on the forums at work. Even with CoH back now I don't gots the gumption ta do it again. But, I still tell stories about CoH and how I was once e-famous. Like that time the J-Force showed up ta a Hami raid and people was so freaked out that I was gonna ruin it that I got mass reported. A mod showed up because they had ta. Saw me just standin around, asked me some questions, then left cus I wasn't doin nothin. It's like ya hold one costume contest in the Hive an' yer branded fer life. Also, when I finally downloaded Homecoming someone else gots the name J-Man. That was my character from beta, but it's my fault for not getting on the server sooner.

I agree that Kinetics is the best defender set in the game, but on live Force Fields made me a believer. The J-Force and I ran a contest to see which of the known defenders on Freedom could keep us alive. We would run a task force and compare the deaths in the end. We had a rad, an empath, an kinetics. We would frustrate them to no end by running off and getting them killed. it was a great time. Then a force field stepped up. No one in the J-Force played a FF. We lawled and lawled at the n00b thinking they could keep us alive. Then the mission started ... and we couldn't die. I had no idea the bubbles were so powerful. We tried. I TRIED everything I could to get killed and I couldn't. The force field defender won the contest handily. I became a believer that day. While Force Fields isn't the most sexy of the defender powers I think it is the strongest defender primary in the game.

I am sad. First, it is a cool thing that you have a link to the old forums. There is a lot of good on there. I am sad because I went to the Freedom Forums to find the old J-Force thread, and its only 1 page. I don't remember how many pages that thread was, but there was more than one.

OK. Now it makes sense. I asked every which way about if it was level gated and everyone told me know. It being level gated is the only thing that makes sense. No. I was like level 18.

The invasion is long over, we are a month later, but I wanted to update to let everyone know ... it never worked. No matter what I did the zombies never spawned for me. A little upsetting, but nothing to be done except wait for next year.

I feel like I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what. I have spent an hour trying to fight zombies in a zombie apocalypse. I am level 23. The event is announced in event chat. "zombies are attacking x zone." i stand around not near police drones, and nothing happens. I have been to Boomtown, Perez Park, First Ward, Founders Falls, Skyway City, Nova Pretoria, I can't get them to come get me. So far this event the only time I have gotten to fight zombies in the apocalypse is in Talos Island when there was a group of masterminds standing on the hill near the train. They weren't spawning for me, they were spawning for the masterminds. The wiki does not give me any information on what I am supposed to be doing. According to everything I read, and everyone I have asked in Help chat it is supposed to just work, but my experience is that it does not. Do I need a minimum group number? Is it level gated like trick or treat where I can only do it in a zone in my level range? Do the costume temporary powers keep me hidden? I don't get it. I don't remember it being his difficult to participate in the original game.
