I'm in for a MoM or DD trial. Pretty sure Baub could be convinced to join as well.

Agreed! So here's my pitch.

My idea is for a single AT or flavor of AT like troller/dom, to be determined by the hive mind, group. Ideally, there would be no discussion of who was bringing what powerset. This would make it interesting because nobody could plan on bringing something the group was lacking. For example, on the guns team, there was two sonics, two thermals and a force field. When we hit later levels, it was not unusual to have hard capped resist or defense. This was great, but after a while it started to feel too safe to me.

For those that would like to play every powerset (waves to Big King) and would like some flexibility (updates list of played/unplayed powersets), this would give them the opportunity to play the powerset that they haven't had a chance to get to yet. Personally, there are powersets that I just have gotten a chance to get to because they weren't feasible for superteam or because they don't have the level of soloability that I need.

This would also allow new people to join with their existing characters. Instead of new people rolling up new characters, they could bring existing characters to check out our group. I know that rolling up a new character can be a long process to check out a group that they're not committed to join.

Leaving the final choice up to the hive mind could give people a chance to play that AT that they never had a chance to level. I've got a plant/fire dom that I leveled before the changes to doms were made. I'd like to try out a dom again but recent teams haven't allowed for many doms.

This would give the OCD among us (waves to PersonaMix) satisfaction because the icons would always be in order or if not, they would at least be the same color.

Voting has usually been open anyone that wanted to vote. If you think that you might play, then you are more than welcome to vote. Real life can be be pretty darn boring sometimes, but is still very important. I hope that your son has an easy recovery from surgery.


We've done a few teams (dark, earth, elec) that allowed for almost every AT. That's why this incarnation was time manipulation so the focus would be more narrow. On one hand, I do like broad themes because there's a lot of choices and on the other hand, I don't like broad themes because there's almost too many choices. This is just my opinion but I prefer superteams that have limitations or a narrow focus to keep the challenge interesting.

Elec/elec is available on tankers/brutes/scrappers/stalkers. It's also available on doms and blasters. Controllers and corruptors would have to go storm secondary for their elec and defenders would have to go storm primary.

The elec team was a pretty potent group. I brought a kin/elec defender and all I had to do was keep the scrappers supplied with speed boost while they hit everything with Lightning Rod and/or Shield Charge. I eventually quit trying to hit Fulcrum Shift because my target was usually dead by the time the power went.

EDIT-The elec team wasn't one of our projects. It was a team that many of us participated in which is why I'm mentioning it. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem revisiting it because there's been ports and proliferations made since then. However, I would prefer it if the allowed archetypes were limited in some way.

I just hit 42 (I am the answer to everything! ) on my dark/dark troller and I wanted to make a clarification about Darkness Affinity. Soul Absorbtion is freaking awesome for increasing regen and recovery for the group. Does nothing for recharge, but does make life better on the blue bar. Think of it as Stygian Circle for your team.

I am disappoint that you did not include Howling Twilight. I know that there are some that refuse to take it because it's a rez, but that's not all it does. It's an auto-hit -regen attack that has a stun. Oh, and it can rez multiple people.

I think that if we were to do another darkness team, it should be limited to one AT or flavor of AT (dom/troller) because the previous one allowed almost every AT.

I understand that other people like the idea of an all shield defense team, but that really doesn't work for me. Keep in mind Phalanx Fighting has an 8 foot range which means you have to be pretty close to get benefit from it. According to PWiki, it caps at 3 people. This means that you're going to have to try and keep at least 4 scrappers in the same small area. Grant Cover is 15 feet which is almost double Phalanx Fighting, but still isn't much. It looks good on paper but I think the reality will be much different.

I guess I'm just not into the idea of an all melee group. This is just my opinion and a reflection of my personal playstyle, but when I roll a scrapper/brute/tanker/stalker, I do so with the idea that I won't need a group to level because I build for solo capability. When I group, I prefer to play force multipliers that become much stronger because they're in a group.

If you need converters and don't want to wait for them to drop, you can buy them at any merit vendor.

Good point. When we started the time team, time was the new shiny and everybody was looking forward to playing it. There isn't any new shinies to get excited about. This is why I think playing a single AT group would be a good idea. It would give people a chance to check out powersets that they're curious about, give people that want to play every powerset a chance to play what they're missing and let anybody with an existing corruptor join in if they want.

I'm glad that you enjoy your ill/time. It seemed to me that when we started talking about playing a time st, you might really enjoy an illusion troller.

Fixed that for you Starry

I really like the idea of a Numerus group, however, if the hive mind decides to pursue this, my opinion is that it should be kept as an option and not as a requirement. As much as I would like to join in, I've had the same naming strategy for my superteamers for long enough that bringing a superteamer that didn't have the initials 'EF' would feel kind of wrong.

Thanks for leading the ship raid Rangle. It was much fun and many Vanguard merits were acquired by all. I was curious as to how our group would do on a ship raid and now I know.

This just confirms it; Devs hate superteamers. This incarnation we went red side so they must really hate us.

But in all fairness, we did bring it on ourselves with our constant abuse of stackable buffs/debuffs and walking through +4/x8 content with no melee types. I'm sure that Zwillinger or somebody else from Paragon Studios will be at one of our next meetings to take the nerf bat to us.

This is correct. We won't have the level shifts from our incarnate goodies, but we will have our incarnate goodies.

I think that it's very possible to get an Apex and LRSF in one night. Apex can be ran fairly quickly, it's a pretty straightforward task force.

That and we're easily distr-- oooh funny cat pictures.
