I used Amazon for approximately half my presents this year. Then when my bro asked me what I wanted, I told him to go look at my Amazon wishlist. My list goes from $2 to just over $500. Any time I purchase something, I remove it from the list. The $500 item is just on there to make it easy for me to watch the price LOL.

Dumbledore ordered Snape to finish him off so as Draco Malfoy wouldn't have his death on his hands. Dumbledore was already dying from a curse, therefore it was assisted suicide.

Hyperstrike's guide isnt for a normal run but just to explain a bit more:

1) In order to drop the Mothership's shield, every Pylon needs to be destroyed. The Leader designates the order of the Pylons destroyed so that the last Pylon to be destroyed is where he wants to jump onto the Ship. Normally everyone ignores the spawns and just attacks Pylons. Be careful to not touch the Shield as you will get teleported back to Point Du Hoc. And let the sturdier toons get to the Pylon first to gather its aggro, they are deadly to squishies.
2) On the top of the Mothership are vents/ grates guarded by Ritki. When enough bombs are detonated, the GM will spawn to investigate what's happening. A leader may assign each team to a particular grate or it may be the team leader's decision. Usually the sturdier toons will attack and aggro the Rikti so somone stealthie can go click the bomb glowie. Bombs do extreme damage to everything and everybody, so it is polite to announce that one has been set so everyone can get away. Once your team has set a bomb, you cannot set another not even if you quit the team.
3) Usually the Raid Leader calls for everyone to gather after their team has set a Bomb. This point is the Leader's choice and may not be same for every server nor even every Leader.
4) Raid Leader's choice here too. Either pull GM to the gather point or jump into the Bowl and attack it there. The Bowl is the large depression in the center of the Ship.
5) As new toons filter into the zone, they can attempt to set more bombs. Apparently this will add more time before the Shields are restored. I don't know if it's true but it cannot hurt.
6) Continue fighting until Shields are restored. Sturdier toons should pull more Rikti to the group. Heals should be spammed. Buffs cast as needed. Debuffs used generously. Vanguard Merits drop from the sky and all have a good time. Rinse and Repeat.

Since you lose those tips once you reinforce your alignment, I would drop those tips just to hedge your bets.

No Worries there. You did ask for a volunteer for someone to run solo so a lower level toon could get a team lead by a 50. I was just really, really surprised I died so suddenly till I saw what level I was--> 25! And I finally added a description to my namesake--

"Last Murdered by Azure Lightstar, by team transfer, in RWZ on a mothership raid. 9/11/11"

And, no, Mr Body is not a homage to the game Clue. He just happened to be the first toon that I made with the huge body type and I thought at the time, 'that's a body!' Hence, Mr Body. He got rerolled though when Shield came out, and he doesn't have a huge body type anymore.

I would think the advance warning we get will be the pre-download after we log out ofthe game as they have done with all other new releases.

Actually, AAO is the taunt aura for Sheild which boosts your damage for each opponent surrounding you. I always leave it with the single default slot and put an endurance reduction in it.

Active Defense is the click mez protection power for Shield. As such, I normally see people just 2 slot it for recharge reduction. Or put HO's in there but still just usually 2 slots. And normally this power is put on suto.

And certain opponents have one special class that should be taken out last. (Aiming at Nemesis Lts)

Certain opponents are taunt resistant.

Certain opponents refuse to herd or be pulled.

It's a Nemesis plot to get us to go play Beta!
