OK, so the last two weeks we've done the Tina Macintyre story arc, so how about for the last Tuesday night get-together we do the other arc necessary for Portal Jockey?

We'll be doing this thru Ouro, the "old school" version of the arc, not the updated one, since the updated one, iirc, does not include Seige (who is an AV needed for PJ).

If you'd like to attend, please meet in Ouro at 9 pm est and please leave your global, toon name and AT below:

2. @Angelica Venger: Someone

4. @Dr.Watson1: ?

Well, since it's our last Saturday TF, let's do something epic, something that was once considered the hardest TF in the game, for years the only real "end game" content we had: the Sta - oops, i mean the Ms Lib TF.

I was wondering about this myself.

IB has posted on the forums a few times in the last 24 hours but nothing so far about the Sat TF.

If we don't hear from him by 1 pm est, let's just meet in Talos in front of the train station and vote on what we want to do.

OK, we made it roughly half way thru Tina's arc on the 13th, so we'll finish the rest on Tuesday, Nov 20th at 9 pm eastern. And maybe get a start on Maria Jenkins.

If you'd like to join us, please leave your global, toon name and AT.

Apparently the Ghost Ship event in Independence Port has been causing spawn problems. Apparently, the event causes all the normal outdoor bad guys to de-spawn and then fail to re-spawn after the event is over. This has caused many Numinas and Citadels to end prematurely due to inability to complete the hunts that are assigned to IP.

Here is a response from NCSoft Support that I received when I petitioned it. I have not tested this so I cannot confirm that it is a viable resolution (unfortunately the response was received about 12 hours after I sent the petition....)

It appears that Independence Port had left over Spirits from the Ghost Ship event. At this time, they have been cleared from the zone. If you find a similar issue in the future, you can investigate the west wall of the zone. This will cause any lingering Spirits to despawn and allow other opponents to again appear. Let us know if you have any further questions.

OK, so we've got only 3 more Tuesdays before sunset, so instead of starting another round of TFC task forces I've decided to leave what we do for the next three Tuesdays up for a vote.

So we're gonna try to do Tina Macintyre. Beata (AdAstra's Fort) has the contact unlocked so we're doing this as a legitimate story arc, not thru Ouro so your level won't matter, you can bring a level one toon for all I care :P

Meet by Tina at 9 pm eastern! (She's in Portal Court in Peregrine Island.)

Note to Angelica: this weekend the rest of us go back to standard time, which means we will be starting an hour later than normal for you (since you're in AZ which hasn't invented daylight savings time yet .)

Note to all: Now would be a good time to start thinking about what to do for Nov 13, Nov 20th and Nov 27th. My vote is for Tina Macintyre and/or Maria Jenkins (the Flashback version; iirc the new version leaves Siege out)

Cut and paste this into chat:

/macro FXoff "SuppressCloseFx 1$$SuppressCloseFxDist 255"

This will create a button in your power tray that, when clicked, will turn off most visual effects from most powers.


/macro FXon "SuppressCloseFx 0"

And this will create a button that will turn the visual effects back on.

If my calendar is correct, this will begin the last FULL run thru of the TFC Task Forces. Once we get done with Numina, we'll only have three more TFC Tuesdays. So I will be taking requests for which ones to run the last three weeks. You don't have to decide now, but it might be a good idea to plan for it.

Edit: OK, hrm, when i made the above comment, I was sorta thinking along the lines of "you decide which TFC TF's we do during the last three weeks." Although, now that I think about it, I don't see why we couldn't open it up to any content. Although I have absolutely no experience redside, cuz that's evil and all. But if there's enough demand, I suppose I could side switch someone. After all, my main badger could use all the redside exploration badges, if nothing else...

No need to decide for another 6 weeks though.

I think I'll bring Chervil Zackly, Mind/Dark Dom
