Themed TF/SF Saturdays

[Jaxman100]

 It's cool, I just had costumes already on a Scrapper and a Blaster, I got my Widow a costume worked out today.  Probably won't play much if at all until next weekend. 

[Glacier Peak]

I've really enjoyed the banter, themes, and screenshots of this thread. Good stuff!

Thank you! Come join us sometime 😄 We're super relaxed and like to have fun...especially learning together as we did during Faathim the Kind. We always have a blast!

I'm on call for work on 8 May, so I'll go in as a "maybe" and pick my AT later in the week.

Assuming I don't get called for work, I'll bring Cosmique (Peacebringer).

[TraumaTrain]

@TrixieKixx I'm thinking I'll show up with a tanker tomorrow if I can get Terror Volta to glow nicely.

[Midnyte]

I looked up Abandoned Sewers trial to get some info for us (assuming you're like me who has not done it in over a decade). It grants the Charmer badge:

 

 

And an exploration badge in the 2nd and final mission, Head of the Hydra:

 

 

See you all in the sewers!

To correct badge type :)

May 1st - Faathim the Kind (Level 44-50 – Blue Side – The Chantry) -  Since we'll be fighting Mother Mayhem, let's dress as her children to show Mother some love! (Come dressed as a child...costume only if I didn't make that clear before!) 

May 8th - Mairenn MacGregor (Level 38-50 – Blue Side – Atlas Park) - Hologram Skittles...we're all dressing as Holograms to brighten up the abandoned sewers...whatever color you like, but make it bright! Only one AT of each type. 

May 15th - Virgil Tarikoss (Level 15-20 – Red Side – Cap au Diable) - Black & White movies...dress as a 50's movie star...black, white and gray costume colors only. 

May 22nd - Silver Mantis (Level 15-20 – Red Side – Sharkhead Isle) - All Plants/Flowers – One of your powers must be plant or nature related...make sure your costume reflects it!  

May 29th - Manticore (Level 30-35 – Blue Side – Brickstown) - Let's spice things up with an all Blaster team! Costume and name to reflect your favorite spice.

 

@TrixieKixx - Miss Skittles - Archery/TA Blaster 

@FrauleinMental - Cosmique - Peacebringer *only if not called into work

@Midnyte - 3D Moonlight - Staff/WP Scrapper

@TygerDarkstorm - Foxie Heart - Crab Soldier

@Jaxman100 - Widow Jax - Widow

@Bananiac  - Holo-Lilac - Dark/Rad Controller

 

Since I don't see MM taken, I may end up bringing one of my MM's tomorrow morning instead of my Crab. I have not had a chance to log into the game all week due to school, but I still want to do this tomorrow.

 

Edit: Since Foxie is only level 35, I'll be there tomorrow morning on Environmentabot, Bots/Nature MM; I'm too tired to get my Crab leveled up even though I'd like to play her.

And a defeat badge for the Hydra Head in the 2nd and final mission, Head of the Hydra:

 

Head of the Hydra is an exploration badge under the Hydra spawn.  Just make sure you stomp on the corpse before you exit the mission! 🙂

Thank for correcting me, Fraulein! I would have later been looking in my defeats category and wonder why I didn't get it! 😄

[FrauleinMental]

Thanks for the holo-fun!

 

Our starting lineup!

 

Here I am, holo-leaning on the contact.

 

Knock, knock!

 

Mission complete.  It's tough until you get the hang of how it's supposed to go.

That was a lot of fun, as always. 😄 Glad I got to be there this week. Next week I won't be able to make it because we're taking a family trip out to Las Vegas.

A glaring hole in the beauty of what is Midnytes Art Of Excel! 

Glad you were able to avoid it! 😉😁

[Bananiac]

Fellow Themers, it was a pleasure wading through the mud with you! This was a great fun Taskforce, and I enjoyed every colorful minute of it!

Thanks for the pics @FrauleinMental and @Midnyte They tell the story!

 

Talking about telling a story, here are Bananiacs Basic Obvious Observations of this weeks "Theme Team Unyielding Badge Farm"-Run:

 

- Trixie had the right hunch for this one: Shiny colorful spectral holograms made a great contrast to the smeary Sewer Maintenace Room.

Btw, for crying out loud, who in their right mind builds a sewer maintenance room like that?!?

Btw², those sewers stretch a REALLY LONG WAY DOWN below this city!

- This was a mission where paying attention was important! 🙂  

 

- There was a learning curve with the assault on the Hydra Head. Once we understood the FF cycle, the Unyielding got less. 

- And a personal takeaway from this: Superjump is not suited very well to get yourself safely down the room! And from the category "Things I forgot to use although I specifically put them up for situations like this": 1.) Using the bloody Jetpack to maneuver the stairs 2.) Using Fallout on the bloody corpses 3.) Using Knight Errand in any of the fights

- Final Note: I just found that we got to keep those remaining charges of the salvage guns. Nice!

   

I got a few pics to add, let's see what I have...

 

Here is Part 1:

 

Everybody follow the Tank! Including the Tank!

 

Found a dangler again <<Defying Gravity starting to play in mind>>

 

Suggesting a new Disorient Superpower? Devs! Get going!

 

Part 2 to follow

[Bananiac]

Part 2 with more pics

I ran with cell shading yesterday, as you can see. Very cool effect for this team, I think!

 

At the staging area

 

Farming the badges

 

Mission accomplished!

 

Bonus Pic - Going in the 2nd time, 4 of us, still sticking to a theme ("Code RED") from the look here. We took on some PUGs to make a full regular team though.

I alted to Forlorne (in her young adolescent look, she is growing up so fast!) for that much needed Notice of the Well and Level Shift! 🏆

 

 

Didn't get the Unyielding Badge for the sole reason of having it already. 🙂 

But at least this time it was a much more systematic approach for me, knowing what was coming.

Completely forgot about Rise of the Phoenix. Some things will just need more training...

Haha, indeed! I was busy reading the "info" of all the weapons, which gave me some catching up to do on the chat! 😄
