Once again the Master of Barracuda Strike Force badge has eluded us. This time I was the one to die, I made the mistake of blinking while fighting Scirocco and that was that. Still, after that we were able to take down Reichsman while mostly ignoring the huge ambush and no one died, so go figure.
Team Size: 8
Deaths: 2

Next up on the List is the Mender Silos Strike Force, which is usually very short so we'll also be running the Apex Strike Force. Mender Silos has no badge but the Apex SF awards the Weapon Master badge. I expect we can get them both done in a little over an hour. So if you want to beat up Valkyrie and Battle Maiden in the same day, meet up in Villain ouroboros next Sunday, June 11th at 5pm PST/8pm EST! -
Captain Roderick Wilkins
I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Although if the title captain means I get my own airship then I'm all for it!

This week we completed the first ever successful master run in SFS history! Special thanks go to @Stargeek for some excellent tanking (and bringing EoEs for the Hami mission) and @Lillian Victoria for handling the star after I crashed on the first mission. Everyone on the team stepped up and filled their respective roles perfectly and followed the few instructions I gave to the letter which made this run a lot of fun!

Next up on the List will be the Barracuda Strike Force, which awards the Arbiter Badge. We'll probably try to do a master run of this as well, especially since the last time we got VERY close to the master badge and that was back when the only Incarnate skill was the Alpha Slot. So if you want to help a fish woman beat up nazis and possibly get a badge in the process, meet up in grandville next Sunday, June 5th at 5pm PST/8pm EST! -
Quote:Yes, this is the one thing that's keeping my arc from working, and I don't want to change it because it's part of the title.Originally Posted by theHedoren
I found it extremely bizarre that the filter thinks "nightmar" is a problem. Notice that's not "nightmare", but "nightmar". So by extension, I can't use words like "nightmare", "nightmarish", or even "nightmarianationism".
What we need is to find some way where having our arcs broken by this filter somehow allows us to powerlevel, then it'll get fixed right away.Quote:Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
Obviously we need a new filter that includes the words "Fire," "Ambush," "Farm," and "Ticket." That'll get more AE users up in arms, right? -
We run them mostly based on the minimum level of the SF. So we start with the level 15+ one and end with the 2 incarnate ones. Sometimes the SF we're running happens to be the WST also, which is a bonus, but otherwise we stick to that order.

Guess I'll have to stay far far away from any Kins.

Now's the time to get it. It's $15 for the complete collection this week, which comes with a month of game time, so it's basically free. Link.

Wow, from the sound of it I think I'm glad I was at work and couldn't participate.

This week we attempted a Master run of the Lord Recluse Strike Force, but unfortunately the Kronos Titan had other plans. >.> I'm actually amazed I wasn't the first to die considering the whole time my netgraph looked like this:
Overall it was still a fun run!

According to the List next week will be the Lady Grey Strike Force which awards the Apocalyptic badge. We'll probably attempt a Master run of this as well if the team is up for it. So if you want to fight some interdimensional invaders that aren't praetorian meet up in the Rikti War Zone next Sunday, May 29th at 5pm PST/8pm EST! -
We managed to get a full team for the 3rd Villain Respec Trial, but there weren't enough interested in the Mender Silos SF, so I decided to put that one off until the week where we'd normally run into it. Once again I forgot to get a screenshot of the final time, but it was around 25 minutes. I was also pretty lax in taking some action screens, however I did get one bonus outtake shot where Cherry N Winter was facing the wrong way in the group shot at the end. Fun was had by all.

Coming up next week will be the Lord Recluse Strike Force. I've been waiting for this once since issue 20 came out, since I'm looking forward to seeing how tough the freedom phalanx seems now that we have incarnates running all over the place. There are a whopping 4 guaranteed badges that come with this one: Servant of Recluse, Master of Olympus, Annihilator, and Archvillain. Also we my try for a master run, depending on what people feel like when we form up. So if you want to join, meet up at Recluse next SUNDAY, May 22 at 5pm PST/8pm EST!

Every Sunday at 5pm PST/8pm EST I'll be running a different Strike Force, going down the list posted below. Never run a strike force before? No problem! These are meant to be friendly for new players, so if you can follow basic instructions in team chat then you're welcome to join. Every week I will post the results of the strike force run along with screenshots of the team roster, our time, and our victorious team (preferably standing on the dead bodies of our enemies).
It's first come first serve, so as long as you show up on time you should have a spot. If the team is not full when the start time comes around then I will advertise on the global channels Global Villains, Protector Vigilance, and Protector TFs to try and fill the team. I'm also a big fan of "bring what you wanna play", meaning I'll avoid asking for one specific AT or powerset whenever possible (exceptions being characters with holds for Lady Grey or a MM/Defender for Barracuda). These are meant to be fun so you should play whatever sounds fun to you at the time! We've even occasionally gotten "Master of..." badges by going with whatever showed up!
We run the strike forces in order of the minimum level required to join. Below is the full list of the SFs and Trials we will run as well as the level range. (This is a combination of the Strike Force and Trial lists over at ParagonWiki)
Also, if you ever have any questions or comments feel free to post them here so I'm not just talking to myself all the time!Code:Strike Force Name Level Avg.

Quote:Ahh, so it was because of CoP then. I never did join on any of those. Anyway, that was around a time when I wasn't very active for whatever reason so I wasn't here for the move.Originally Posted by Demon_Shell
No problem here.
And yes, I do remember, because it was my suggestion. It was back when the server was running CoPs on Sunday nights. It didn't last long, so the suggestion was my error.
I would love them to be moved back to Sunday.
Ok then, so I'll just plan on it being sundays from now on. I'll start up a new thread and get the various MOTDs updated over the next few days. -
Quote:Both Paragon and Nightmare are still showing as errors on my arc.Originally Posted by Dr. Aeon
Hey everyone,
The authmerge earlier this week put in an update to the profanity filter for Architect and fixed things like Paragon being blocked. We're still aware that there are some issues regarding words still being blocked. There will be another pass over the profanity filter for these other exceptions and another update will be rolled out afterwards.
If there are more very common words that you're still finding blocked, please post them below. Thanks! -
Due to real life stuff I'll be running SFS on SUNDAY this weekend, instead of saturday.
I was also thinking of moving it to sunday permanently at some point since when my work gets busy I sometimes work on saturdays. Does anyone have a problem with this? Also, does anyone even remember why Sok moved it to saturday in the first place? -
Quote:I'm confused, I thought your global handle was automatically the same color as the global channel you're chatting in? Can't you just set the color of your global channel to the green you had before? Or am I completely missing what you're talking about?Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Very small QoL thing; allow players to pick the colour of their global handle on chat channels.
I was perfectly happy with my green handle from before. It suited me rather well. Now its all...grunge coloured. Given I was forced to lose the space between words, could I and others not at least get their 'right' colours back?
Thanks -
This hasn't been my experience at all. My dark brute has taken tons of damage in the trials and I've only gotten the rare table twice. On the other hand, my /nin stalker over on infinity has gotten a rare or very rare table on every trial he's done (5 so far) and he almost never gets hit.

This week we attempted a master run of ITF, which went well until the third mission when we got split up and some deaths were involved. But that's when everyone started to relax and have more fun so it worked out. Unfortunately I crashed at the end so I don't have our official time or death count this week.

Now, our List says that next week is the 3rd villain respec trial (44+), but since those are short I was thinking of also doing the Mender Silos SF (46+) after that. That'll be the plan unless someone has an objection or a better idea. So meet up at Ractespriel in Nerva next Saturday, May 14th at 5pm PST/8pm EST! -
Quote:I hope you're right. Because of work I can't make any of the listed times for either of the servers I play on, it would be nice if I could participate in this event at least a little.Originally Posted by Inazuma
The original fiction-laden announcement cites the start as the 9th.
http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/new...orian_inv.html
The impression I got was the invasion would be the Rikti or zombie attacks, happening in random zones throughtout the day, but that the special dates given would be where the GMs take a more direct hand and really hit us hard. -

Are you going to always shoot for a certain Tuesday -- Like "last Tuesday of the month" ?
For some reason the idea of the 'big game hunters' popped into my mind. Bunch of people sitting around a lodge.. "Well old bean I took down the mighty Jurassik on the Serengeti last week!" Keeping score of what got taken down. LOL
I'm strange and haven't had any coffee yet...

I usually get time off work over the summer so hopefully I'll be able to join in on the next one. Regardless I know I'll be able to join the one in July for sure.
-
Yep, just what Stargeek said. I'm usually at the contact about 15-20 minutes before start time so showing up early or sending a tell to @Zaloopa will get you a spot.

My Arc is currently invalid because of the title, Crey's Nightmare, apparently it's finding the word Nightmar in there and I guess THAT is copyrighted. However I couldn't figure out what it is from my google and wikipedia searches. :P Bug report filed.

Kinda slow this weekend, but we managed to scrape together a little over half a team and the SF itself was very smooth. Also at least 3 of us leveled up by the end, which is always nice to see.

Next up on our List is good old ITF. For any that don't know, it's level 35+ and awards the Temporal Strife badge as well as unlocking the Roman costume pieces. So if you wanna travel back to ancient rome to beat up nazis, meet up in Cimerora next Saturday, May 7th at 5pm PST/8pm EST! -
Looks like this got fixed in the patch yesterday: Link
