Hey Team, who is planning to go see this? I will definitely be looking around on Everlasting tomorrow. But plan to be on Indom tonite, even though this will be late for my timezone. DST is helping a bit, as we turned back the clock last night and now the time shift is only 5h until you Us girls and boys follow suit…

 

I'm going to spend as much time as I can in-game today. I missed the first couple of weeks of the event due to being too BUSY in real life 😮 so I have not been as immersed as usual in the event.

I'll definitely try to be out for this on Indom.  I'll also be bumming around Everlasting and Excel. with some alts doing the event badges.

For the most part, I had a great time in Halloween event 2022. I was able to salvage the final days with the constant ToTing league at the PI motel. I took inventory today of my productivity. I was able to get the 5 new badges on 15 characters, 10 of those being older characters who already had the full set of Halloween badges from prior years.

 

I had planned to server-jump to partake in some Kane trials and banner events, but I never had time for that at all. So I did none of those.

 

For the culmination I visited the Knight Cave, the base for Street Knights SG, with Lady Longfang, who got a nice "treat" from @TraumaTrain. I got to hang out with @Bananiac and @Jaxman100 and @Burnt Umber but I don't think I ever found the secret room, despite being told that I "flitted" in and out of the doorway. 😄 

Here are some photos of us in the Cave:

 

Lady couldn't resist trying out the fighter jet

The "secret room" isn't really secret. It's just not easily seen. The library behind the entrance portal.

[Bananiac]

I absolutely love seeing you getting into the jet, @Midnyte! 😄 I should have thought of that! 

The Crab Backpack looks a bit cumbersome, though! Don't think you wanna pilot that plane with that thing on your back... 😉 

 

@TraumaTrain Thx Rich for taking the time and effort to take part in this event! It was fun exploring the base and also thx for the treats! And it was great meeting you fellow themers there @Jaxman100 & @BurntUmber!

 

I had a blast the last couple of days doing Halloween stuff with my toons. And I am always happy to dig out Mr O'Hallows at this time of the year, who finally made it to 50, got a boatload of new badges and now also has the fun Build that he deserves. 🎃

 

Good Times!

[Bananiac]

Looking ahead, we don't have a new schedule for November Theme Teams yet. Sure hope everybody is doing well and everything has been working out fine for you so far @TrixieKixx @FrauleinMental @TygerDarkstorm!

 

This week the Abandoned Sewer Trial is the WST. I know that this is not as easy as just running one of the regular TFs, but it is also one of my favorite actions of the game, and provides a real challenge to a team. So what do you think about giving this one a try again?

 

Don't know who will be able to show up and what kind of theme could be nice for it, I think I will make up my mind about that and post something later. But whatever we decide, we should probably plan to make this an open team to get a large enough group with players from the outside, if needed. 

 

I am of course also open for other ideas, so just let me know what you think!

[Jaxman100]

Is this the one where you have to defeat the 4 shields gens at the same time, then shoot the hydra with a temp gun? Rinse and repeat until defeated?

That probably would take a larger team

It is, and it does. It requires a lot of team work and coordination. 

 

@Bananiac I am completely swamped with school work; I barely have time to read the forums, let alone log into the game, so I am still out for TT, sorry

No worries! Take care of your school things, that always should have priority for sure. 

Good hunting for grades! 👏

I'll be willing to give it a try. Later tonight I'll log on and pick a character, and check to see if you've created a theme. If no theme, that's fine too, it will still be a fun time. 🙂

Hey @Bananiac! I know I was supposed to post the November Themes in mid-October, but it was an out of sight, out of mind thing. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it tomorrow as hubby and I have plans. Fingers crossed, I can start participating again soon. For now, let's play it by ear 😄 

[Bananiac]

How about making this theme "Robots against Hydras"? Show up with your best Robo-Outfit, Automaton, Mecha, Robotics Mastermind or with Robos Lore Pets!

That should be easy enough to implement on this short notice.

 

I will be there tomorrow with Droidica MK2, my All-Arrows-Blaster, and see who shows up 🙂

I'll try to give this a shot. I can bring Saxum, a robotic brick (Stone/Fire Tank).

 

But, to set expectations, we'll definitely need to fill to get enough folks to complete. I'm not sure we could do it we only a few.

[Midnyte]

For the MacGregor I will bring Eternal Winter - Ice/Rad Sentinel dressed in a frozen robot costume. 😄 

[TraumaTrain]

I will bring someone. Not sure who just now. I'll update when I know.

Agree. So let's plan to get at least a few more from "outside". If we don't get more people to join, we can just go for a LR or ML, if you like...

 

For now we got 7:

 

Droidica MK2 - Arrows / TA Blaster (Bananiac)

Saxum - Stone / Fire Tank (Burnt Umber)

Eternal Winter - Ice / Rad Sentinel (Midnyte)

Devil's Workshop - Arachnos Soldier Crab (TraumaTrain)

Cryomania - Ice / Ice Blaster (Fräulein Mental)

Radiation Base - Bots / Rad MM (Web Chambers)

Jaxon Brand - Spines / Bio Stalker (JaxxMan100)

 

Looks like we will be able to field a decent team after all.  Let's see how it goes later...

Team signup update

[FrauleinMental]

Much as I thought about bringing my Bots MM, I think I'll do better with Cryomania - Ice / Ice Blaster (in a bot-adjacent costume with Warworks Lore pets).

 

Clocks haven't switched yet in the US; that happens tomorrow (Sunday) morning.

 

I haven't been on a ton lately, but I managed to get the new Halloween badges on a few characters early in the month.  I might be spotty the rest of the year, since I'll be working rotating shifts for about the next 4-5 weeks, and then I'll be changing jobs and moving during the holiday season.

[TraumaTrain]

I think I'll go with Devil's Workshop. Arachnos Soldier (Crab pattern). He can summon eight spidery robots to do his bidding. And of course, he has his own robotic arms!

 

 

 

Edited November 5, 2022 by TraumaTrain

[TraumaTrain]

I have recruited Web Chambers to the cause.

 

He is going to bring a Bots MM/Rad. I don't know the character's name.

[FrauleinMental]

Awesome double-trial today!  I only have two pics, start and end:

 

 

Here's the starting lineup on theme.

 

 

Here's the end of our second run.  First run 23:00, second run 17:38.

Abandoned Sewers Trial - 11/5/2022

"Robots Against Hydras"

The Theme Team is back in action after skipping the month of October. We did two runs of this trial, first as robots or in robot costumes. Here are the photos from the first run.

 

 

@FrauleinMental: I like your story!

 

@TraumaTrain: Very creative backstory

 

@Bananiac: Thanks for coming up with this week's theme and for running the show today

 

 

 

 

Thanks for joining us today, and hope you become a regular! @Web Chambers

 

 

 

Opening the trunks to collect the weapons we need against the Hydra

 

 

The particle cannons are fun to use

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Bananiac]

Thanks @FrauleinMentaland @Midnyte for posting the pics. Now we even got proof of our awesomeness 😎

 

I am very glad that we actually got this going. 2 times even. And were absolutely killing it both times!

This can be one of the most fun trials, if everyone knows what they are doing. This could also have gone all horribly wrong, I had a couple of those as well in the past. So, happy that it worked out fine, everybody was enjoying themselves and got some nice loot and badges out of it!

 

I will be travelling the rest of the week, therefore not gonna make it to any action this saturday. 

Good hunting, with whatever theme you are going to go with...

[Midnyte]

I forgot to post this last weekend.... I got one shot of our second round of MacGregor trial. Check out the team lineup! I did not get a shot of our completion time though.
 

[TraumaTrain]

Let's form a strike force!

 

Silver Mantis SF. Pirates of the Sky.

 

Hey, pirates is a good theme! Bring your most piratical costumes. Meet up in Sharkhead. Level 20+

 

The usual time and space. Sign up to hold your place on the ship!

 

Captain Rich: Cap'n Kraken, Kinetic Melee/Super Reflexes Stalker

First Mate Umber: Vim, Warshade

[Burnt Umber]

Definitely!

 

Do Space Pirates count?  I'll bring Vim (Warshade).

 

 

Addendum: If we're short on support I can also run with C. Abyssus, Water/Sonic Corr.
