We're coming up on the Shardtober finale, and we have spots open for 2 more Arachnos at 44+!  If you didn't park at Faathim, the easiest way to get there is the LFG teleporter.

 

Concluding "An Arachnos Shardtober" (Faathim the Kind TF, 44+, all VEATs), part 4 of our 4-week event 5/12/19/26 October:

1. @Glacier Peak Fortunata Non Grata - Arachnos Widow
2. @FrauleinMental Orb Mistress - Arachnos Soldier
3. @Bananiac Battle Priestess Vea - Arachnos Soldier
4. @Midnyte Forever Midnight - Night Widow
5. @Purple Enchantress Fortunata Fayte - Arachnos Widow
6. @TrixieKixx Evil Goddess - Arachnos Widow

 

Hey @FrauleinMental, I am gonna switch back to Reverend Mother for this, my Fortunata.

It happens.

 

The original intent was for people to use the geyser system to travel the zone.  I've never fully learned it though, because most of my characters have some sort of flight.

 

This would be working much better if it were better represented on the minimaps, I think...

Baphomet got angry 😮 

 

A great finale to our Shardtober festivities

 

And, as is customary now, a Dr. Kane trial followed:

A great Arachnos Shardtober to all who conquered the Shadow Shard with me!

 

Here are our themes for November:

• 2 Nov - “House of Illusions” - Dr. Kane’s House of Horror (4-person teams, 15+, meet in Pocket D) - Illusion powers, Halloween costumes
  • This is a short one, so we could potentially run it a couple extra times or run ToT or something after.
• 9 Nov - “Snow Crash” - Citadel's Children (Citadel, Level 25-30) - tech-based powers (e.g., Devices, Traps, Bots) - Bring your dystopian cyber/tech costumes!
• 16 Nov - “Tricorn Triforms” - Pirates of the Skies (Silver Mantis, Level 20-25) - All Peacebringers, pirate costumes
• 23 Nov - “Disco Forever” - The Fire and the Flames (Mortimer Kal, Level 20-40) (Note: Unlock required for leader) - Disco/dancing costumes, Skittle ATs (Variety Act)
• 30 Nov (Thanksgiving weekend) - no theme, since a lot of us end up with family obligations.  For those who want to roll anyway, the WSTs are Market Crash (Ada Wellington, Level 40-50), The Kheldian War (Moonfire, Level 23-28), and Temple of the Waters (Operative Renault, Level 25-30), in rotation order.

Signups for 2 Nov:

1. @FrauleinMental Lanthanum Lethe - Illusion/Earth Dominator
2. @Midnyte Winter Mirage - Illusion/Cold Controller
3. @Bananiac Colonel Mindbender - Ill/Kin Controller
4. @Purple Enchantress (maybe) Misterya - Illusion/Traps Controller
5. @Burnt Umber Commenticia - Illusion/FF Controller

I won't be able to make next Saturday as I'll be working at a craft show, but I'm excited for the next themes after that!

It was a really fun month doing Shardtober together. Thank you again for coordinating the whole thing and keeping it going.

The November themes look great! Thank you for creating those for us. Looking forward to wrapping up this year's Halloween event next weekend with you all. I have one illusion toon to bring for next week's Kane trial, Winter Mirage - Illusion/Cold Controller. I'll have some other toons parked in Pocket D if we do multiple runs.

Hi @FrauleinMental, thanks for putting up the next round of themes. They sound great, although I will likely miss a few in november as we are out of town for at least 2 weekends.

 

For next week I plan to bring Colonel Mindbender (Ill/Kin Controller) in his best Nazi Zombi look!

I would be up for running Dr Kane twice or so with different toons and teams, and also like the idea of ToTing afterwards with you guys.

 

I am also happy to lead a Market Crash or two if anybody wants to play on thanksgiving.

We're celebrating Thanksgiving early since my parents are leaving before it, so I will probably be around for it with nothing to do and a Market Crash sounds fun! I'd be down for that. Should we do a just for fun harvest/pilgrim theme or something?

[Purple Enchantress]

I hope to be able to join this november as well, though this weekend will be iffy. But if I make it, will run Misterya (Illusion-Traps Controller), will see what halloween costumes I make for them.

 

For November 9, will bring Double Blaster (Dual Pistol/Devices Blaster). For the 16th will bring Star Gal (Peacebringer). For the 23rd can change if needed but might bring Purple Enchantress (Dark/dark Blaster). And for the 30th I should be able to join, so will see when that comes around if there's a theme.

Yeah, why not? Let's see who signs up, keep it open AT- and Powerset-wise, will be fun to just make it with that costume theme.

This sounds fun! To my recollection, Theme Team has never ever met on a Thursday before! I might still have my Broccoli Casserole recipe costume from a previous U.S. Thanksgiving theme!

We can always keep it to Saturday like usual. I think Frau was referring to the Saturday and not the Thursday anyway as some folks go out of town to visit family and such. But I'm also down if we want to do it on that Thursday instead.

instead not as well

Yes, I might have misunderstood. I think it was @Bananiac who mentioned Thanksgiving and I misunderstood that he meant the actual day of Thanksgiving!

They have been a very fun time and a great excuse to use more toons or make new ones!

Hey all, looks like VEAT Shardtober went well.

If there's room I can run with Commenticia - Illusion/FF Controller.  Otherwise I'd be up for a second run on an alt afterward.

[Midnyte]

I'm excited to find out how we're going to defeat the 99 zombies in time with 4 illusion controllers! 😅

Dr. Kane's House of Horrors trial - Illusion powersets - Halloween costumes

Saturday, November 2, 2024

 

We had a fantastic end to this year's Halloween event by running multiple trials due to 4-player limit of this trial. We got to see some amazing costumes and smash up many Abominations and hundreds of zombies. Here are some of the best sights from today's festivities!

Would a Rad./Regen. Sentinel Cyborg work?  If so put me down for Baryosythesis, otherwise I'll have to figure something else out.

Probably close enough.  The theme is a little vague, I suppose.

[Glacier Peak]

If anyone's seeing names in the Theme Team Global Channel that don't look familiar, that's my bad! I was trying to add someone but instead I invited my entire global friend list. What a silly button to have next to inviting someone. That being said, please feel free to remove anyone that isn't supposed to be a member and feel free to remove my permissions 😅

I saw the notifications of you removing some people, and I just figured you were cleaning up dead wood! 🤭 I was like... "Oh good, he's keeping us organized".... it didn't occur to me it was a mistake!

We actually did really well on that first run that I was concerned about. Playing a controller has many different layers that I haven't even begun to explore! I was glad to see this theme, because my illusion controller has been stuck in her 20s all these years. She was glad to come out for some exercise.

My Illusion Dominator was made specifically for a Yin TF the Theme Team ran a while back. I hadn't played it since, so it's been Level 28 for a while too.
