Ukase Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Am I going to bed too early or something? On other servers, I routinely see broadcasts for incarnate content, but on Excelsior...not a peep. What channel are you folks advertising your vacancies on? What time of day/night are you running them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorSteele Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Apparently, everyone on Excel makes a character, runs DFB, then makes a new character and repeats... at least, if the LFG tab is any indication! So yeah, you're the only lvl 50, sorry dude! Kidding aside, I know of the following global channels (which are kinda borked at the moment): "Excelsior Badges", "Excelsior TFs", and then just "Excelsior" Even when global chats ARE working, these channels are pretty vacant. Heck, people hardly even chat in teams, which is weird to me. I feel like Excelsior is turning into the "Freedom" server of the bunch, and I'm not happy about that =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ukase Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 I've made a few new friends on Excelsior, and have a lot of loot stored in my base. It would be a pain to relocate it. I hate to transfer when at the lower levels, the folks I run into seem very competent. I guess, once I reacquaint myself on the other servers the better strategies, I'll just have to form the leagues myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcussmythe Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Ill admit that serious alt-itis has resulted in me having only one character even in her 40s - and that primarily a product of spines/bio meaning Ive been putting huge crowds in my missions to keep things interesting. Amusingly, though shes great fun, Im in no hurry to slap Incarnates on, unless I can find a way to get solid single-target out of spines.

MacguyverBond Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I initially made a couple toons on Halcyon before finding out a number of familiar Liberty folks are on Excelsior, and I’m not too crazy about completely bypassing content, but I intend to chug along at my own pace for a little while. Not to mention that as much as I adore this game and community being restored to some degree, Life happens and so I, personally at least, can’t devote the 20-30~ hours a week I could a decade ago, much as often wish I could lol. I did notice the global channels I’d seen mentioned were quiet then saw someone in the discord mention that it was an issue being looked into. Just another Liberty player’s situation as food* for thought mate. I hate this new age of forced autocorrect too, bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So DA and Incarnate trial are a ghost town. I'm just going to farm there in hope to see one form one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerulean_Caver Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 For me I have one toon at 20, and a handful in their teens. It's slowing dawning on me how much time I spent with my primary in the 'beforetimes', collecting badges, accolades, IOs, etc. There's just no way to recreate that in a short time and honestly, Incarnate stuff came at the end of that. I would love to be able to catch up to that point and go from there. The process getting to that point - seems hugely daunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfyre Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I made a channel called "Excelsior for All". It's a general purpose channel for teaming/farming/raiding/TF's/Hami/marketing/etc. The channels still growing, I'd like to get it to the point where the majority of Excelsior is on it.

Stan The Man Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I recently had to start all over but not as an alt. I'd made some really silly mistakes and overused my free respecs. But it's okay! I got some nice IOs out of the deal. Face front, true believers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sothoth Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 We ran Behavioral Adjustment Facility yesterday afternoon with a full league. Was quick though, took longer to set up the league than to run the trial.

skinerd Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 It's a friendly server. Our SG does lots of TFs and events. We try to fill up from the SG first but we also ping the LFG channel. I had to sit for a bit before the SG to get into a TF or Trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitum Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Honestly I've been in shock since I found out CoH was back, so yeah I've rolled a lot of alts - ones that were at lvl 50 pre finger snap. I have 5 at lvl 20 now but the cool thing is my wife plays and my 12 year old son plays and they have 5 lvl 20s also. We are tailoring our 3 man teams to be fun for us, take on just about any content, and lastly make it easier for others to team with us. There hasn't been a night yet we've ran with anything other than a full team yet, so as we level we will be looking to do incarnate material one day soon with many alts. I have 11 total alts now and it's cool to reexperience them again from the ground up. The hardest was my first lvl 50 because it was the most sentimental, I couldn't bring myself to play him because I was afraid to lose him again, but I talked myself into it the other night. My 4 year old son also plays and he's good, but loses interest quick... SQUIRREL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyispunkrolex Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I have one toon that I ran up to 50 in ~8 days and a few more in the 20 - 30 range. My 50 doesn't match my preferred mode of play (I like support characters, not melee), so I haven't really looked in to the post-50 scene. I guess I need to pay more attention to the global channels to see what end-game people are doing because all the Incarnate stuff is a lot of fun.

Amatyr Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 A (slightly rotating) group of us bounced through Keyes, BAF, Lambda and then Keyes again last night. The global channels should start to pick up as more people join. These trials groups though I've picked up via regular LFG channel though. Excelsior Global Channel - for your server wide chat and forming TFs, Trials, Radios, Farms, whatever you want to do - /chan_join Excelsior today!

Nice, A different group of us did BAF, Lamba, Keyes, Underground, and TPN Campus, while doing Adamastor and Rikti Mothership inbetween. Although, I have to say, people need to think more about their positioning as we get into the higher incarnate trials. Saw a lot of people getting one shot by AOE's and cone attacks.

Ukase Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Thank you all for taking the time to reply. I did finally catch some incarnate action over the past week. I just had to change the times I played by about 90 minutes. I had been bringing my character on too soon, and logging off too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Mr. Gary Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Excellent! I’ve been showing my kids the ropes in my free time so I still have a while to go before even thinking about iTrials, but I’m happy to see they have active participation. I feel like Excelsior is turning into the "Freedom" server of the bunch, and I'm not happy about that =/ We can only strive to be THAT good :D Seriously, all the shade I constantly see thrown Freedom’s way mostly comes from people that never even played there for any given amount of time (or just from Virtue players). As someone that exclusively played on Freedom from headstart to shutdown, comments like this one irk me a bit. From my experience, I can say that it was a great place with wonderful and helpful players. I made so many great friends there as well. Now I’m not saying we didn’t have our less desirable players, but honestly what server DIDN’T have those? Just my two Influence. I’m going to get back to training future productive and prodigious heroes for our city. @Bad Mr. Gary - Squelch - Excelsior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
