Cool beans, thanks a lot!

Ah! A man of culture, I see... 🙂

Hi JJ, haven't asked in a while, but there isn't much out there for Blasters with Storm Blast. Could I ask you to build me a Storm Blast / Atomic Manipulation? Very much a Hover Blaster, so I haven't been using any of the melee attacks from Atomic. But feel free to look at that. Thank you very much, appreciate your effort and have been using lots of your builds as a base for my toons!

I enjoy mine quite a lot, mostly for thematic reasons. You wouldn't have a Build that you are willing to share here?

Take a look at the animations of Claws, most are focussed on striking with the right hand actually. I have build a character that has a single claw, and it looks really cool. Just being required to use something on the left hand spoils it a bit for me. Hence the question...

I don't know how much effort this would be to implement, although I would think this could be easy enough to do. Could we get a "Empty" option for a single hand with the Claws powerset please? Left hand is not busy in animations anyway...

I have been thinking a bit about themes and looked at stuff we haven't done yet, or not done in a long while... ATs, Powersets, Costume themes and such. Came up with a few that I would like to throw in here for future reference: - "Mutate This!": Professional Grade Gene-Alterations with Radiation/Radioactive, Bio/Nature and Poison powersets. Appropriate costumes required. - "Nippon Tales": Costumes of historic japanese lore, e.g. Samurais, Ninjas, Geishas, Nature Spirits, Noblemen and -Women... you get it. Just costumes, no requirements on ATs and powers. - "Spectral Champions": Spectrum Body type required (feel free to add other costume elements around it, but the spectral body shall be visible). Could add another rainbow theme to it, everybody pick a different colour. Any AT / powers. - "Gangs of Paragon": Street Thugs Powers: Street Justice, War Mace, Staff Fighting, Martial Arts. Thugs Masterminds obviously qualify, too. Appropriate costumes, make'm look mean! - "Brute Force of Fury": Just Brutes... (not sure if we had that yet, but sounded like an AT that we hadn't been focussing on since a long while at least, or only togther with Tankers). How about making this an Orcs&Goblins Costumes theme? - "In the Army now": Military combat uniforms, powersets anything rifles, pistols, knives (including Mercs MMs obviously). I may think up a few more over time, but put those on the record for now.

@FrauleinMental I am not sure yet if I will be able to make it this saturday. If I am there, it will be with Deft Funk - Symphony / Fire Dominator. EDIT: Switching to ATOMIC ZEPHYR - Storm Blast / Atomic Blaster. She still needs some more incarnate action... That being said, if anybody else wants this spot who knows they can run, I am happy to stand back this week and stay on standby.

Yeah, Trixi sould be ok. How are you doing with the fires, Tyger?

Welcome! When I saw it last night I sat down and made a new toon ... again. How about giving Victory some XP boost for a while to draw some people there? I think that worked nicely for the other servers while it was running.

Themes for January 2025: 4 Jan - “Malta Undercover” - The Praetorian Offensive (Tin Mage Mark II, Level 50 + Alpha Slot) - Malta costumes (It’s customary to pair this with Apex, but I’ll leave it to the team.) 11 Jan - “Clockwork War” - The Fall of the Clockwork King (Synapse, Level 15-20) - Clockwork costume (Praetorian, Primal, Psychic) with matching Energy/Electric/Psionic powerset. 18 Jan - “Disco Forever” - Time's Arrow (Imperious, Level 35-50) - Disco/dancing costumes, Variety Act badge run (We have to fill the five roles for the Role Diversity check: Tank, Melee, Ranged, Control, Support. I’ll pick later in the week and try to fill in where needed.) 25 Jan - “Dark Star” - A Clamor for the People (Penelope Yin, Level 20-25) - All Warshades, running Dwarf form and/or Nova form.

For Synapse I have Clockwork Seraph - Fire / Energy Scrapper. I am happy to lead this one, if nobody else screams "NO! Don't do it!" She is just lvl16 right now, but I shall bring her into the 20ies by Saturday, so we can run at max level.

Hey Trixie! Good to hear that you are making your way back! Sorry for Tinkerbell, losing a dear pet is always tough. Hope you can slowly get back to "normal" (for whatever that goes nowadays) and we will always have a place on Theme Team for you whenever you feel good enough to return 🙂 We have been keeping it going, which by no means should imply that you weren't missed 😉

Happy New Year to everyone. For next Saturday I plan to take part again, bringing an Assault Rifle / Devices Blaster as "Directrice 11".

Not gonna be home this weekend to game. Have fun dancing the night away with the mountain beasts!
