Trip has been postponed last minute, so all back to normal at the office. Definitely plan to be there again for theme team tomorrow.

Work sends me spontaneously to travel to Seville this week, but I hope to be back by Saturday for Theme Team! @TrixieKixx Sign me up with Silver Breach - Stone / Stone Sentinel. I keep you posted on my schedule to return from the trip.

Sorry guys, have to drop out for today. Got a little instant garden party going... Good hunting!

@TrixieKixx I am bringing Hooded Bow, Archery / Dark Sentinel. And for those that still are looking for inspiration, I found this here very helpful: Merry Men - Wikipedia
-
I have decided I want to give Fold Space a try and built it in. Sacrificed quite some recharge and a bit of def/res to accomodate the 3 Teleport powers required, so this is gonna be the fun build, not the untouchable one 😎 For reference, here is what I came up with. Thanks for this interesting conversation! This will definitely be a new experience. And if it doesn't work for me somehow, I will set him up with a 2nd, more conventional build. Or simply respec.

We don't seem to have many military scrappers or stalkers, and shockingly enough I have to admit I don't have one, either! And as I don't think that I will be able to create a new one and powerlevel to 45 this week, I will just stick with my Old Faithfull and bring Flying Nightingale, my Emp / DP Defendress, in her in her original WAAF uniform. Additional note to myself: I need to start preparing for the Robin Hood theme... no idea yet what I am gonna do about that, but very much looking forward to it! Also, Archery became one of my 1st loves after returning to this game. There was a weekly all-archer team on Reunion that always was such a blast to run with!
-
At the airport now, getting ready to board the plane back home! Great trip, great meet-up! Lots of memories were made to talk about for years to come. But also glad to be heading home now. See ya all next week at the usual place and time, folks!
-
And we were very happy to be back on solid ground! But was a worthwhile trip, seeing the whales and the sea lions hunting (skulls?) together! 🙂
-
No active theme teaming for me right now, besides hanging out in Real Life with Midnyte and Trixie over here in California. I will return on saturday 10th from the US, so my next participation is probably gonna be saturday 17th. You guys keep hunting! 👍

Pitching a few that I had in the back of my head for quite a while now: Tales of the Arabian Nights - could be narrowed down to "Build your own Djinn", maybe coupled with the All-Storms-Allstar Power Theme... "Call the Police" - Police Officers, Detectives, Undercover Agents, Miami Vice, Beverly Hills Cop, CSI Los Angeles, you name it... 🙂 "Pinball Wizards" - All-Knockback Powersets ("We don't do no friggin' KB-to-KD here!") Favorite Sports - Curling is Your Thing? Do It! Chess is a sport! Nordic Walking too! Brothers Grimm / Fairy Tales - doesn't need any further explanation, I guess... "Fatal Flowers" - Plant / Nature / Flowers / Bio costumes and powers... Seconding here what Umber said above And I mentioned that before maybe, what about some popular pop culture franchises, like Game Of Thrones, Star Wars, Dune*, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Hunger Games...? *Would love to do that one some time! I already have a Sardaukar, a Reverrend Mother, a Fedaykin, and a Guild Navigator character lying around somewhere. Because... you know, Alts...

@TrixieKixx I have just dressed up my main, Bananiac (Plant/Rad Controller), in what may or may not have been a JP Gaulthier look.

I noticed that PVP recipies are continuously selling at very high prices compared to the level I was accustomed to a few months ago... Like in the upwards of 2...3Mil range. Also, supply seems to be a bit scarce recently. Which is a shame really, for obvious reasons... Anybody meddling with this? Is this a knock-on effect of the farming changes? Or what is going on here? If you need to buy a "cheap" PVP at 3Mil, spend another 1Mil or so on salvage and a few converters, and deduct the AH fees for listing at break even price, then you are down to <40...45% margin for the usual sell-wells. At this point the uncommon-to-rare-train becomes much more attractive again, I think...
-
Sorry I couldn't make it this week, but it surely looks like you were having fun! Smashing costumes, I must say! Definitely plan to be there again this saturday, just don't know yet which toon I would like to go...
-
I think I will bring my Dominator Disco Infernale again, Symphony/Fire, in his regular funky groovy disco outfit. A good opportunity to take him through the final stretch to 50. Which will make him my 1st Dominator to ever get this far. I think I have 2 or 3 other Doms idling around at lvl 6 or so... On the condition that I will be able to game next saturday, that is.
-
Great photo story again, @Midnyte! I also love how everybody's toon brought a backstory this time! Haven't had that for quite a while....
-
I would All-Out-Gaultier this! 😎 Because, how could you not: Green!
-
Judgement, I have a really soft spot for Vorpal on some of my toons. The thought of you taking aim, making a cool spin move to release a number of phantom copies of yourself in a cone towards a mob, and have lots of orange numbers pop up out of nowhere, is just soooo cinematic in my mind! 🙂 My other favorite is mighty, because who doesn't love some good knock-up? I love some good knock-up, whenever I can get it! Only thing is, both powers are basically smashing/lethal damage, which makes their effectiveness a bit of a mixed bag. Lore is exclusively driven by best theme fit, I don't care about numbers here at all. That is also one of the reasons why I almost never end up with the BP lores. They somehow never seem to really go well with any of my concepts...
-
I have several options here, but given the current team composition I think I will bring some melee damage with Violet Valkyria, Sword/Dark Brute. Don't know if she will be tough enough to tank all those heroes we need to fight, but I can give it a shot. Maybe all the dark debuff will save it 😎
-
This is fun. Throwing in a couple of mine here... Elvish Impersonator - Zombie MM Gin Toxic - Posion/Psi Defender Cathode Ray Dude - Energy/Electric Blaster Micro Menacement - Claws/Fire Stalker And technically not a pun per se, but I still need to giggle everytime I run across these toons in my character list: Heavy Assault Poet - Symphonic/Psi Dominator Betty Bondagebunny - Plant/Pain Controller And well, you probably have to count my Main and Global as well here, I guess: Bananiac - Plant/Radiation Controller I may or may not add a few pics later on for your entertainment. EDIT: added pics...
-
That is an interesting aspect. I have to think about that a bit. Ho would you usually slot Fold Space? I have to admit I have never used it on any toon up to now, but I always enjoyed it when suddenly new victims got dropped on any of my melee shredding machines and I didn't have to get moving. I am seriously tempted to build with FS now and try it myself. Probably sacrificing some defense or resistance for it, but in general Controllers are not that dependent on passive protection anyways, so that may be a trade off I would be willing to make.
-
If I manage to have another run at powerleveling a toon from lvl16 to 45 by the end of the week, I will be there with Disco Infernale, Symphony/Fire Dominator. Because I think this theme got the song but they got no melody 😎 Freak Freak da Funky Funk Funk! In case this ain't going fast enough, I have a Theme Teamer Classic ready, the wicked Mr O'Hallows, my Fire/Nature Controller. Exchanged the pumpkin head with something more suitably "regular" for the event 🙂

@TrixieKixx For saturday, I have readied Prince Elija Motombe, Katana/Regen Scrapper and secondborn heir to the Ebony Lion Throne, seat of the rulers of The Independent Kingdom of Malawenji.
-
I didn't even know there are easter eggs in Midnighter Club. Sign me up!
-
Agreed. I found CC to be generally quite effective, especially if you can lay down even more Holds around you from other sets. And I also like powers that you don't have to do anything with other than run into mobs, like The Cloud or The Cloak 🙂 And yes, Containment! Still a very nice build, thanks for that @Wimbochismo! I will see if I can tweak it a bit to my playstyle, but it is greatly appreciated.
