Still, 10% is a massive base figure for a Defence that can be further enhanced with slotting.

Compare it to the Leaadership pool equivalent which varies by AT but at its very best (ie. for Defenders) is 3.5% base.

Huuuuuuuuge difference.

Cry me a river. Are you afraid Villains will get more critters with less healing badges involved? Go to your Defender forum and advocate a buff. ;-)

Erm, what???

Someone asked why the SoA power is worth getting compared to the Leadership power, I gave them the best reason.

Where's this come from?

Btw monday's i'm usually working untill about 7:30 ish, so i might be late

No worries, I'm sure you won't have to work too hard to catch up. And Grav/Storm is an excellent choice, I've teamed with a lvl 50 Grav/Storm on many occasions and it's a potent combo.

Took me a second, but I got it! If you'd rather play the Blaster, it's totally up to you. We can certainly survive on two Tankers - heck, with the amount of soft control in the group we can survive without any Tankers!

Hi Dior_xx, you're not too late as we've not started yet. The first play session will be next Monday night and then every Monday night after that. There's a lot of info in this thread so have a read through, it'll likely answer most of your questions.

As for using a Tanker, we've once again hit the ceiling for Tanker numbers so I'm hesitant to allow another. I would appreciate it if you would have a think about any of the other ATs you might wish to play instead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Since we're not all going to be in one SG, it struck me that using the Server Friends list as a surrogate SG list would be viable.

[/ QUOTE ]

Another good idea Canine. Unlike the chat channel list, it'll tell you who isn't online - and with the relevent toon name too.

I'll definitely make use of this too - though I'm going to wait until we're all gathered in Atlas on Monday, then just friend everyone at once...

No Problem, I did a bit last night, put her up to lvl 6, i don't want to over do it

Gratz-times-five!

Does that include the Darkwings board, Canine?

That post is too old to edit now, I'll add Lifey's name in the next roster update.

Welcome aboard. Edited my last post to include you in the roster.

One week to go!

As a reminder, can everyone please get your toon to Atlas Park in advance of next Monday (or at the very least get out of Outbreak if you're currently sat in there)? Thanks!

Welcome Noir, nice to have you onboard!

Welcome Clawd too. Since it looks like there'll be three full teams to being with, having a third Tanker should be okay.

Roster update:

Frostbourne: Endothermica (Kin/Ice Fender) or Avalonica (Ice/Storm Troller)

Thanks for coralling this thread over the weekend, Canine.

This week, on the exciting season finale of Trapper Mondays:

<ul type="square">[*]A crack at the Lady Grey TF, if we have the numbers![*]Some zone PvP, if we have the time![/list]Tune in, tonight at 7pm!

Wat lvl do you think you guys will get too on the first day so when we meet up on the 09/06 i can have the same

[/ QUOTE ]

Could be anywhere between 6 and 12, depending on how things go.

Your best bet would be to check this thread after the first evening, and see what the average level people are reporting is, then you've got a week to catch up and be in the right region.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is the soundest plan. You only need to be within the ballpark for the level ranges. Just remember that if we don't reach lvl 10 on the first night, we can't SK you - so you'll have to be within 5 levels of the highest to gain XP.

(I think a more reasonable estimate will be lvl 6-8 myself though. It depends how quickly we get coordinated.)

Hehe Canine... you crazy badger. Nice idea.

[ QUOTE ]
Hmm.. given my frosty toon is a 50, would it be better for me to make up a new alt for this you think echo? If so I am working over the finer details of a storm/elec/elec offender

[/ QUOTE ]

It's entirely up to you Celestyna, I don't mind either way. I will just say you may find a new toon more profitable than exemping down, since then you'll be earning XP as well as Inf.

I am rather looking forward to June 2nd now. Time to work on my bio!

Okay, as you may be aware, next Monday is Final Trapper Monday Extreme XX.

If I can convince Toybox and Blindy and maybe others to join us, I say let's have a good bash at the LGTF.

Not to worry, as you'll see from the following info. With i12 suddenly thrust upon us, it's time to get this team started.

<ul type="square">[*]The first meet will be at 7pm, Monday 2nd June - ie, the Monday after next.[/list]
We're not starting next week so as to give people a bit of time to get their characters sorted, and also to give my Trapper team a bit more than zero notice before they're evicted from their Monday spot.

<ul type="square">[*]I shall meet you all on the front City Hall steps in Atlas Park, promptly at 7pm.[/list]
If you've chosen to the tutorial, make sure you've completed it and are in Atlas before our debut night. Whether you did the tutorial or not, just remember to head to Atlas Park and not Galaxy City or you could be in for a bit of a walk!

Loitering at City Hall will be a chance to give folks who aren't yet on the chat channel access, and finalise the plan for the evening's events (hint: UTTER CHAOS). You never know, it might also drum up a bit of attention for our little gang too!

There's also the matter of an inaugural speech... don't worry, nothing too serious.

After that short diversion, we will divide into even teams and get cracking.

----

As a rough plan:

If we have 20+ people showing up a large organised street hunt (street purge might be a more appropriate name) seems the most logical way to begin.

A sewer hunt form lvl 3-4 could also be arranged too. Depending how we get on down the drain, we might hunt the whole way from Atlas to Kings Row where we'll begin Police Radio missions for the Raptor Pack temp power at 5-6 (though that's a definite maybe, as spending so much time in the sewers might drive some folks a bit... perculiar).

Hope to see you all then!

I'll be posting concrete information a little later tonight. Watch this space.

Sorry about your dog dude. I've had pet dogs all my life so I can empathise with what you're going through.

Your secret mission sounds intriguing though...

The current planned play slot is Monday Evenings from about 7pm to 10pm (UK time, whatever that happens to be at the time, GMT/BST)

[/ QUOTE ]In place of traps team I guess?

[/ QUOTE ]

Correct. Unfortunately I can't keep more than two teams going on a regular basis, so the Trapper team's going to become a semi-regular outing instead of a weekly one.

It seemed simpler to do that than mess with the Dom team, as the Trapper team seems to be winding down a bit before the Doms, even though they're the younger group.

Plus it guaranteed some of my good friends were available on the night this team will play too.

Of course, I formed this team just for the incredible wealth of puns to be had.

Aww man that sucks.

I completely understand if you don't feel like playing tonight man.

EDIT: I may be about a half hour late tonight myself, as I have some surprise errands to run.

Powerboost doesn't boost damage buffs or debuffs, so Fulcrum Shift is unaffected.

Trapping tonight! Another run at the respec trial may be on the cards, depending on our numbers. If not, it's likely we'll be blowing things up in RWZ instead.

If you put it up for 7-9 million, you're guaranteed to get at least that much

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really guaranteed, you could easily walk away after a month with loosing 5% of that if nobody bids for it.

I picked both of my ForceFeedback +rechs up for alot less than that.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's why I advocated a "sensible price based on past sales", I only used the 7-9 mill in my example as that was the figure already mentioned. That normally means put it up for sale somwhere in the mid-range of the last five sales.

I will admit that you can lsoe your broker fee if the sale expires but this has never, ever happened to me. High price usually means high demand, which means that if something is worth that much money on the market it's because people are looking for it. The chances of such a sale, correctly priced, expiring before someone snaps it up are incredibly slim.

If there are 5+ times as many people bidding as there are items for sale, you can be especially assured this will sell high.

If you put it up for 7-9 million, you're guaranteed to get at least that much (minus seller fees) in return. If you put an expensive and popular IO recipe up for 1 inf, you're practically asking for it to be undersold.

I would recommend picking a sensible price based on past sales, put it up for auction and be patient with it (patience is really important when selling high). It may cost you a a big wad of cash to sell, but that's here you're paying for your guarantee...

Nice summary Canine, cheers. You're correct about examplaring too (especially since a couple of our blasters are a bit long in the tooth, so to speak).

I would just add the following:

<ul type="square">[*]There are no restrictions regarding costumes. A uniform may well be designed at a later date, but that will definitely use one of the subsequent costume slots and not the first, and will always remain optional attire.[/list]

Welcome aboard. Nice name! Using the Jester outfit pieces, perhaps?

Edited the roster in my previous post.
