Also missing from the patch notes:
The ability to delete empowerment buffs has been removed.

OMG, you have got to be kidding. The Fabricator issue aside, I don't want those buffs on all the time in some situations. Sheesh. I normally take game changes in stride, but this is getting out of hand.

Other missing patch notes:
- Teleport dampening field added to Cimerora. (Related to the Mac pac mission teleporter issue, most likely.)
- Villain pain domination rez effects changed from green glow and sparkles to red glow and sparkles.
I begged for the rez graphics change back in beta since it did not fit with the rest of the power set. Not a big change to many people, but it was one small happy moment for me amid the despair of the Fabricator badge disaster.
And what else is missing from the patch notes? At this rate, there is bound to be more.

For Cajun Cutie, I added her sidekick, I hope she doesn't mind, it only seemed right based on her bio, and I drew her in her hot pants...well because...

I think I just missed the cut, but in case I didn't, here is mine.

And happy birthday to your grandfather! I bet he has some awesome stories to tell.

This is also because you guys have gotten so good since this this started.
*nods nods*
One tank can probably keep Hami busy, but it would be nice to have two in case one is stronger than the other and one needs to be patched up by his/her empath/storm/kin.

I've gotten to play in the base quite a bit. It's amazing and beautitful and so complex!
I danced on the Mu burial stones last time I was there and Commander put me in jail.
Bad, Andra, bad!

OK, I'll be the bad guy/girl here and say it. And believe me, I don't want to.
Sadly, I don't think we can run a functional raid with more than sx MMs in zone. Yes, we had some support and backup problems with the brute team, but most of us couldn't even move to attack because of the lag.
I have sent petitions about the lag/targeting issues. And although the general response is that our graphics drivers are old, the real problem is that zone and all the individual elements that have to be "drawn" in the raid. When you add an increasing number of elements with the MM pets, the zone becomes so overloaded that the players can't see things or even move. Yes, it's true. I asked a dev.
Also, even with MMs on a yellow, I don't think they can kill it. Sandy was running some numbers on that, but I don't know how it comes out. We can check that later.
I'm going to get back to this topic again later along with some targeting points, but I wanted to respond in this thread now. This raid does work with the strategy we developed and the tweaks we have when the AT mix is slightly off. However, we continually see that the bigger the imbalance, the more likely the raid can't even get off the ground.
The leaders are working on ways to address those issues we can. But the raiders have to try to work with us too.

I was highly entertained watching and making it.
Bravo, Ruptured!
Soooo .... what happens to the cheeky reporter girl next? Inquiring minds want to know.

Just wanted to drop in and congratulate everyone at last night's hero raid. It was probably the best one since our practice sessions.
We had about 30 in the Hive before 8 pm, started monster clearing just shortly after 8 pm, and had Hami down before 10 pm. At least one mito phase saw all yellows drop within the time limit of RAs. AND we had amazingly short resets between blooms. One was less than 3 minutes! That means we had fewer deaths.
Sandy might correct me on some of those numbers. She has some table with best times, but we all know I don't do math.
Nevertheless, awesome job everyone! Let's do it again next time!

so blue-side Wednesday and red-side Tuesday ... what times? any thought to returning to the Sat/Sun raids too?
[/ QUOTE ]
Villain Raid 8 pm EST Tuesdays
Hero Raid 8 pm EST Wednesdays
Hero Raid 6 pm EST Saturdays
As for Sundays, we were leaving that day open for a possible second villain raid night. However, before we can do that, the Tuesday raids need to be solid and a consistent number of people are required. As soon as we get to that point, we'll post again. So basically, come play and bring your friends.

I want to thank everyone who came to the testing last night, team leaders and all the volunteers. We had an idea, just needed the support, and we got it.
Our intent was to ensure aggro control of Hami with the MMs and yellow mitos with the brutes for several minutes while we sent in some squishy bait (just teasing, Jaded ) to see what would hit her. In the end, we cleared all 6 yellow mitos.
We still have some issues to work out based on the need for certain ATs, specifically dominators and ice and thermal corruptors. We have not had that many attend the tests, so having more at future ones will definitely give us a better picture of buff usage and green mito attack times. A few more kinetics would be great, too. All ATs will have role in the raid, although we have only focused on a few for the core teams.
If you are interested in helping, please contact Sandolphan, Angry Angel, Jaded Angel, or me with your global and AT. We are off to a great start.

I would like to thank everyone for all the positive feedback on the movie and the support at last night's cast party. A 2-hour celebration turned into a 5 1/2 hour bash with a special appearance by Ghost Widow!
