7 Sep is Full in celebration of one of Rich's original themes!

 

 

This is amazing! I am so happy to be part of this for these 4+ years. And since we kind of skipped over our customary anniversary event in July this year, I propose that this weekend be our Official Four Year Anniversary event! I personally have loved having this solid activity to look forward to and plan for, amongst the trials and tribulations of IRL stuff over the years. ♥

I managed to level her in time; I will be on Xanthia - Mercs/Cold MM.

Like a hero(ine) who shows up in our darkest hour, this game reappeared just in time for the Dark Times.  It's also gotten me through two interstate moves (and job changes).

 

You got me reminiscing and going back through the early pages of the thread.  First appearance:  3 Oct 2020 with Coffee Ring for the Gloomy Boomy theme (Dark, Ice Mistral SF).  (A week later was the Food and Drink Costume Contest, where she got a runner-up title.)

I searched across both accounts and found only ONE kin toon! A kin/energy brute who just so happens to already have the badge! but put me down as #6 and I'll update here. I may make a new one and get to L12. 🙂 

 

Wed night edit: @FrauleinMental: Say hello to the all-new Arctic Swirl - KM/Ice Scrapper !

That's what I ended up doing--I made a new toon for this month's themes, since I'd never played kin melee before and didn't have an insect toon.

[Bananiac]

Just a heads up: Will be off again for the next 2 weeks. Have fun and good hunting.

On the horizon, October is a month-long theme: “An Arachnos Shardtober” (Arachnos invasion - All VEATs), running through all four Shadow Shard TFs as they rotate into WSTs. 

 

Since there's been a request for signup for "An Arachnos Shardtober" (Dr. Q 40+, others 44+, all VEATs), I'll start tracking those as well:

 

I have VEATs of all 4 flavors and will decide each week who to bring. The top 3 are L50 with the fort lagging behind in her 30s right now but could be in range in time.

Forever Midnight - Night Widow

Lady Longfang - Crab Spider

Nytetmayre - Bane Spider

Mindgazer - Fortunata

Mindgazer - Fortunata

I ended up just doing two builds on the same Widow - one as an unkillable Night Widow and the other as a super damage dealer Fortunata. Both builds combined easily cost me over a billion inf 🫠

That was my strategy too when they first came out with the multiple build option on live, but with today's fast leveling and unlimited name change options, I decided to just make them each their own path.

 

In 2019 on Homecoming, my night widow was a given to recreate, and in the old days she did have a second fortunata build that I rarely played. I meant to do the same this time around, but then one day I was cleaning up toons I found on other servers to transfer them all to Indomitable, and I found a level 12 widow on Torchbearer that had teamed once with my daughter the very first week of Homecoming. I decided to bring here over here and make her a dedicated fortunata. That way I don't have to mess with name changing or story changing or build changing. And here we are. 😁

 

Really a great option though if someone does not want to level up two completely separate characters.

Karsis trial - Kinetics powersets

Saturday, Sept 14, 2024

 

 

We had 7 players sign up, and were able to recruit @Purple Enchantress for full team

 

@FrauleinMental led the shebang with brute, Bug Sapper

 

Bourbon Neat, corruptor by @Jaxman100

 

Our founder, @TraumaTrain with scrapper, Squiggly Marks

 

Controller, Glitched Out, by @TygerDarkstorm

 

Super-Radiance, defender by @Burnt Umber

 

Arctic Swirl, scrapper by @Midnyte

 

@TrixieKixx brought stalker, QT Pie

 

Lost internet for a second, I really need to get a UPS backup! I missed the transport but fortunately was able to log right back in and rejoin!

 

Jumped right into battle after re-joining and did not realize my UI was off. Got some great action shots but nobody is labeled. You know who you are!

 

"Get your filthy paws off me, you damned dirty Pumicite!"

 

Doing his squiggle thing!

 

Lots of swirlin' and squigglin' to take these rock dudes down

I'll try to bring Oni - Ninja/Beer Affinity MM.

 

Also, if folks are up for it, can we please do a second run of the same trial?  I have a controller that needs the badge but can't quite fit the theme.

[Midnyte]

I'll bring Ocean Goddess - Beer/Regen Sentinel

 

We might have the makings of a Role Diversity team. And I'll be ready to bring a second character for additional run, per Umber's suggestion.

Since it's a trial and not a TF/SF, I don't think it qualifies for that badge.

[Purple Enchantress]

I have a marine/water def that can fit the motif if time works next week. Would just need the costume and beer change.
