"What's that Nevermore? The Devouring Earth have a group of lawyers held hostage?"
*More silence, maybe the barest suggestion of another grunt.*
"They turned one of them into a devoured? And they're going to go on a rampage?*
*Stoney silence, brroding, yet another half-there grunt*
"Yes, you're right, it's lawyers. It's your round at the bar."

Dancing Rodents to all concerned. We'll catch up with you eventually, but it's never been dull with you lot around

I'm inclined to agree with Birdy. While I think ninjutsu doesn't completely come into its own till later, it just has the feel of a themes set. Some sets just feel like "oh, we'll throw something in here because it needs x power." Ninjutsu feels like the set was designed around the concept.

Grrrr. No chance in hell I'll be able to make it. Even if I wasn't running a vampire larp game on the saturday evening, the odds on me being able to afford transport and/or accomodation are precisely nil.

Means I don't get to inflict my enthusiasm on you all, once again. Some might consider this a good thing

I think when you kick them, you lose that persons 20k, and if you don't have the 20k, you go into debt. Apparently.

Admittedly, I had to run from my first PvP experience in Warburg, but that was mostly because, at the moment I got hit, I was lagging so badly I'd been hit 7 or 8 times before my controls unfroze long enough for me to move,let alone power up IH and DP, and try and strike back.

I was justified in running like the girl that my character was

Not exactly filling me with confidence for my chosen powerset, really. I went EM/EA originally because I didn't want to exactly reverse my main tanks powersets, and I like the concepts behind EA.

Apparently if I continue, I'm going to be gimped. Oh well, if I gotta be gimped, I may as well be proud.

New temp power:

Six Demon Bag.

"Terrific, a six-demon bag. Sensational. What's in it, Egg?"
"Wind, fire, all that kind of thing!"

Yep, but the question is, if you'e already spent that 20k, what happens? Do you go into debt, or do parts of your base vanish?

I'm going with Ninjutsu, to be honest. I was quite enjoying it in the beta, and it has a bit fo everything, defense, extra placate, a heal..

Hugely bugged.

I don't think they did. No baroque, no fishnets. That said, which costume bits are available seems to highly depending on which bug is happening thsi week.

most of the makeup and face options for pointy ears are gone.

Ah, glad thats over. Sara is now costumed for the event.

Gah, double postage madness

Still having serious trouble with a costume for Sara. got an idea, but like most things, it's derivative, ot to mention will probably get genericc'd before the end of the night.

Heck, most of us are creating level 1 "Halloween Copy" alts for just that reason.

Not really a katana user, but from Damia, I've picked up a few things about regen, along the way. I'd have to say that Divine Avalanche is your best friend right now, though. Regen's always been a "if I can keep them from hitting me, I can heal" kind of deal, now more than ever. Revive I've found to be mostly pointless, but maybe with the increased likelihood of faceplanting, it'll creep into more builds to reduce downtime and costs. Hasten I'm still debating, but I'm experimenting doing without it.

you can almost do it.... anyone want to guess which scout Mina would be?

Damia as Sailor Neptune? She has the hair already

It's a pity we can't get the devs to relax the copying rules for an evening. GG does their comic book heroes... Nevermore would have a field day...

This was my possible idea.

Thoughts on differences include:

I feel the need for that extra punch early on so I went for the second blast, so I can stand and back up my robots if necessary, and I have an emergency "Go away" power if some sneaks up on me.

Triage beacon went because it didn't fit into the build at the time, and apparently needs a ton of slotting to make it work. Photon grenade also went this way, since you have seeker drones later on that can be slotted up for the same effect as photon grenade (disorientation). I wouldnt take or slot either of those powers for damage.

People also seem to get by without repair in robot builds, so that fell by the wayside due to no space as well.
I decided against leadership pool because of space issues, and because apparently they aren't as good for us as for defenders. If the last two traps powers prove useless, I guess they can be swapped out for tactics and assult/manouvres.

Left open for whatever epics we get

You are correct, it is monday, my bad, I've been looking at the shiney art in the CoV box.

Mina in Pits of Hell gear, Sara in, well, not a right lot... this is terrifying me already.

So are we actually doing this on the tuesday, then?

If you want scary costume, I could get Sara a Yancha outfit.

I love Bots. Bots rule.

Apparently so. There's even supposed to be (according to the devs) a nice little animation perk for it if you use robots. Anyone confirm?
