There is no more Beat-Down. He changed his name to Wreckin' Ball.

 

This guy is National Defense in disguise.

 

No more Beat-Down! Then I shall delete Mourning Temptress.  I remade her when you asked about it but still a baby in Mercy.

 

I remember National Defense. From our old Six Paragons group. Mine was National Holiday. 

 

So glad you can join us tomorrow!!!

Aww... Beat-Down is still Beat-Down. He just changed his name. It's not the first time. He was originally Touche'. Same dude, just different names.

 

The one from Six Paragons was National Justice, who I have not remade. National Defense is a completing different dude.

[Midnyte]

Ohhhhh right! Thank you for clarifying my feeble memories 😆

[Midnyte]

Some notes about our bug-a-licious gathering in the Chantry tomorrow to experience The Saga of Faathim for Justin Augustine.

Completing the task force awards the accomplishment badge Protector of Kindness for blue-leaning players, and Thorn Crusher for red-leaning.    

Awards 42 merits (x2 for WST).

 

Looking high and low for an insect-appropriate emote for us to do for a picture. Not coming up with anything! I even went down the list of costume change emotes. If there is truly nothing that fits an insect theme, let's just choose one that would look cool if done simultaneously. That can be done in fly/hover with a hold-stance so we can comfortably snap some pics without worrying about timing. Open to ideas! 😄

 

[Bananiac]

Just a Heads Up, looks like thanks to a strong vaccine reaction from last week I am gonna stay home today.

Which means in turn that I am going to be there for the Theme Team. Looking forward to see all you pests hovering around in the Shadow shard! 😉

Wouldn't hover or fly be good enough? We could all hover around the contact 😄

Sure! It's a plan 😄 

[TraumaTrain]

Except ironclad beetles don't fly! 😞 😞 😞 

 

Bug discrimination!!!!!

LOL, you've got a point there, Rich. Maybe that's what my thought process was late last night. Looking for an emote that works in flight the same as standing, so that we could all get in the same pose regardless of flight or not.  🤷‍♀️

 

I found that "bringit" that we all had so much fun with one time, works in flight. That might be funny dressed as bugs. It's worth a test. 🙂

The little bee nitwit trying to navigate the Shadow Shard

 

 

@Bananiac So what was behind the barrier barrier?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faathim was grateful.

 

 

 

 

 

Stinging Embers got an extra special bonus from this task force 🤩

[TygerDarkstorm]

@Midnyte Love the pics and commentary! Rich planking just kills me. 🤣

 

@TrixieKixx I am hoping to be there on Ruff Ruff Boom - AR/Devices Blaster. My grandma invited us up to a BBQ at her place that day, but since Yin is really fast I should be able to squeeze this in before we leave. 🙂

[FrauleinMental]

Love it.  Missed you guys this week!  I've never played Devices or Traps, so I have some work ahead of me!

[Glacier Peak]

Whoa that Iron Clad Beetle costume is awesome! @TraumaTrain!

 

And how the heck did you get over 4 million xp @Midnyte??

Me either! I made a MM, bots/traps and have been having fun learning it.

I'm not sure! I think I did have some double XP boosters but you probably mean besides that?

I've just never seen so much xp dropped at once before, was that a mission or task force completion bonus??

[FrauleinMental]

If you're below level 50, the WST bonus includes a pile of XP rather than the Notice of the Well.  It's somewhere around half a level, modified for the TF like the merit reward.

[Jaxman100]

I should be able to show up on Jax Dredd, Dual Pistols/Trap Corruptor.  Glad to see you had a good run this weekend.

[TrixieKixx]

I just realized that I didn't have the August themes out there! Here they are!

August 21st -  Mortimer Kal (Level 25-30 – Red Side – Sharkville Isle) - Going down in a ball of flames! – Any AT that has a fire or thermal power!

[TraumaTrain]

@TrixieKixx for Pen Yin, you may mark me down for Workshop, Electrical Blazzzzt/Devices Blazzzzter. He brings the crackle.

[FrauleinMental]

Assuming I can get my freshly-created character up to 20 for Penny Yin, I'll bring Aluminum Patriot, Energy/Devices Blaster.

It was for the completion of the task force. The last mission was completed a couple minutes prior to that, but once the TF was rtc, that's when I got the 4 million XP, leveled to 50, and the 84 reward merits (worth 20 million inf).
