Amygdala

Here is my recent attempt at a Christmas tree.

While it can be difficult to walk away from something you have invested a large amount of your time and energy into, I support your decision.

It is not necessary to belong to a committee to run events for other players. You just need to be willing. There are many people on our server willing to help in various capacities, be it donating funds, leading events, generating ideas, etc. We should appreciate these resources for what they are: members of the Champion community.

I have great confidence in the abilities of our (now former) PERC reps, as well as many other players on the server, to continue to make Champion a rockin' place to be.

Happy Birthday!

I've got two for you if you've got the time.

"Smooth as Silk" #61883: This is an arc I published a while ago that I'm considering going back and revising, but not sure it is worth it or not. Some constructive feedback would be welcome.

"Champion's Killer Halloween Mystery" #461097: Created for a Halloween event I hosted last month, it is a very short (but hopefully fun) whodunit.

Thanks.

LRSF was fun. Thanks for hosting.

Great job leading, Force. Thanks everyone for a great raid.

I will be there!

I like my version better.

Happy Birthday, Kahlan!

Happy Birthday, Cam!

Thanks Amily for putting this together! It was a lot of fun and great to see so many successful runs completed all in one day. The teams did a fantastic job all around.

Rock on, Champion.

Sorry to hear it didn't work out last night.

Just from reading the comments posted here, I have a few suggestions:

1. Re: Getting lost in the AV room. A good way to avoid this is to click on the portal entrance on your map prior to entering the room. This will select it such that once you're inside, the entrance will be highlighted as a waypoint. When the raid leader assigns your team to a cube, check to see where it is relative to the entrance, and this makes it much easier to go back to the right cube once things get started.

2. Re: Defeating the spawns too slowly. I can't stress this enough, it is really important to take out the cube spawns as soon as possible. There are 3 things that will potentially stop you from doing this quickly: 1) people are too slow to switch targets from the AV to the cube, 2) people don't go to the right cube which causes 3) spawns to scatter, fly around, etc. The best way to keep the Rularuu from flying around is to physically be at your cube and fighting them. Usually when I lead CoP runs I will call out in Vent and in Broadcast when the barrier is shattered and when to head back to the cubes. If you find this still isn't happening fast enough, then leaving one melee toon at the cube can help (but isn't necessary).

3. Re: Not enough damage. I want to emphasize that the team compositions I posted in my guide are meant to be a rough estimate of what you will need. I'd also like to add that when I wrote that section of the guide, the AV was still attacking through his shield and more support was needed. This bug is no longer occurring, so by all means, if you feel you need more damage, then bring on more damage. That team set up had worked for me in the past vs the Storm AV, but the idea was that people would tweak the teams as needed.

4. Re: Shield not down long enough. I've timed how long the shield is down on several occasions and always get 45s. It can seem shorter or longer depending on how things are going, but if you actually measure it, you should get 45s.

I hope that answers some questions!

Great job everyone. Thank you for leading, Trev.

Hey guys.

One of my SG members on Champion took a video of our most recent CoP run that I have added to my guide. If you haven't done a CoP before and don't have a chance to read over the guide, I highly recommend watching the video. Sometimes seeing it in action is the best way to understand the strategy.

CoP Video

Best of luck tonight!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Added a new section to the guide: Screenshots and Videos. I have posted a video of a recent CoP run vs Ruladak that was filmed by an SG mate of mine and an older screenshot of a run vs Lanaru. Enjoy!

Got another one done on blueside. Thanks everyone that helped out and congrats to those who got the badge!
