Thanks! I probably posted too many but this was such a fun theme and I went a little overboard. I'm a sucker for good lighting. 😆

[Midnyte]

@Jaxman100 I could've sworn you were a girl during the TF but in the final donut pics you are a male. Please clarify your gender. 😂

[Midnyte]

In preparation for next week's Tin Mage, I gathered the potential badges we could earn.

 

First, clarify if we are doing both Apex and Tin Mage TFs? During the TF today, @TygerDarkstorm referred to our event as "TinPex", leading me to believe we are doing both. But now I see on the theme list it only shows Tin Mage. I seem to remember the last time we ran this and had some guests along, one of them pointed out that it's a 2-part TF, so we did an impromptu run of the other one. Correct me if I'm wrong on that, you know, feeble-brain syndrome and all. 🙂 

 

For  the record, here are the badge possibilities for Tin Mage:

 

Completing the TF grants the accomplishment badge Alpha Struck.

 

There are 4 achievement badges we can earn during the TF, which would earn us the Master of Tin Mage TF badge:

 

 

If anyone is familiar with some tips or tricks to achieve any of those, please give us a briefing. 🙂

That's an amazing array of pics, @Midnyte! Some really great ones with characters in sync, like those best! Thank you!

Dear Theme Team and Friends,

 

after missing out on my recap from the Def/Cor Double-Header the week before, I have a few findings to share with you again this week.

Here we go with what I have - most deftly, as usual - named the "Cute Claws of Fury" run:

 

- Cats are apparently more popular than dogs in this neck of teh woods. Or just easier to costumate 🙂 

- For all the massive clawy meelee we had going on, I was glad to see some vines and spores in between here and there 

- Don't remember what was the setting, +0... +1...? We basically ripped and shredded our way through the corridors in no time!

- Glam Hairstyle for the win!

 

A few more pics from the Bananarchive:

 

Prepping the models!

 

This looks like a girl group from the 90ies... Can we call them "Kitty Power"?

 

 

There is no more fun than smashing gears!

 

Taking aim at the sewer...

 

Doc Vazi never knew what hit him.

 

 

And as a bonus pic there could only be ONE CHOICE this time:

 

 

Enjoy your holiday weekend, fellas!

@Bananiac I always love seeing your commentary. 🙂 

 

@Midnyte I've never really done the TF, and never actually know what to call it/them because I see it advertised so many ways. TinPex just seems to be the most common way I see it in LFG so that's just what I said because I couldn't remember. 😅

[Jaxman100]

I think a lot teams run Tin Mage and Apex back to back and that's why they call it TinPex.

Hi @Midnyte! I did say Tin Mage; however, if we would like to do Apex afterwards, we can. I know not everyone has time to hang around for the amount of time to do both. The last time we did it, we did the first with our theme team and then we invited some others along for Apex. We have actually done this before, but it's been awhile ago. It's hard to get all of the badges; however, we can try! Once my kitty is level 50 plus has her alpha slot, I'm definitely going to go for the Kitty's Got Claws badge...I wonder if it was a subconscious thing that I named her Kittygot Claws?

Ohhhh gotcha! I'm not too familiar either and figured you knew more than me on that, LOL. okay then, Tin Mage by itself then! Thanks for clarifying 🙂

Yes, I wasn't questioning the term TinPex! I know what it means. What I was questioning is whether we are actually doing a TinPex, or just a "Tin"... LOL 🙂 I got it now.

Good plan to start with one and then keep the second one optional for whoever wants to stay. I am thinking I will be one who stays 🙂 

And yeah, when we ran this a couple months ago, one of the guests told us to defeat Bobcat first so that we would be more likely to defeat 40 of Neuron's clones for that Army of Neu badge. But somehow we wound up defeating Neuron first, so we got Kitty's Got Claws badge. That should definitely be what we strive towards this time, Kitty's Got Claws badge! If we don't get any of the other 3, that would be fun (and useful) to have. So Neuron first before Bobcat reaches 50% health. We can do it!

[Bananiac]

Sounds like a plan! 👍

@Bananiac, I hope you noticed that I captured your sassy "getsome" pose 😄

I know... I do post a lot of pics and eventually reached my limit so instead of taking down old ones I started using imgur for file hosting.

Absolutely did!😁

[FrauleinMental]

I'll bring Cosmique (Peacebringer) to Tin Mage this week.

 

Alas, it looks like I'll be working this Saturday.  Have fun!

Oddly, I've only done Tin(Pex) a couple of times (my main has everything except Army of Neu, and that seems to be the standard run).

 

The most crucial thing is to have your Alpha slotted, not just unlocked.  Each of the TFs requires Alpha unlock, but if it's not actually slotted you fight at -4 levels, so everything is +8 to you.

Yeah, this ended up being an issue for me the one and only time I've tried it. I grinded up Sara Falin and unlocked her alpha, only to spend pretty much the entire time on the floor.

 

@TrixieKixx I've been working on Hallowed Sam, but she's only at level 37. Not sure if I can hit 50 and get her decently slotted and alpha slotted by Saturday. And still in debate if I'd be able to participate Saturday anyway because we're leaving for vacation Sunday and will be spending Saturday getting ready.

Well, to be honest, I HAD my Alpha slotted when we did this. And in totally selfless acts of solidarity I was faceplanting at least as much as you were! 😇

 

So I am determined to go back and set a few things right! Are you with me, @TygerDarkstorm?✊😆

Erm, if you read my whole post, no, I am not really with you. 😅 Most of my day today will be spent at my internship, and then tomorrow and Saturday we'll be getting ready for our trip; I don't expect to even hit level 50, let alone getting my alpha unlocked and slotted and also have my powers slotted. As of right now, I don't plan to be there this Saturday.
