Do the other TFs first to get a feel for Ouroboros, but the Silos TF is the one that will appeal to oldbies' tastes for nostalgia.

Now, there's an idea. Didn't know there wasn't a minimum... other than the TF we ran there a week or so back, I had thought it was a time-stop transfer station and minimarket for the ages. Sorta Nemesis apology for whatever he does in the future.

No one seems to get my "So, buddy... from archvillian to barkeep for the Restaurant at the End of the Universe" jokes; that may be why... guess I should stop spamming "two cents for Milliways" before I go there.

I'll play in there, and see if I don't get a handle on it before the weekend.

Police heroside mastermind in I 16, you heard it here first people!

Either that or they are Kheld melds... who figured out how to replicate via mitosis. You see, people?! This is what happens when you equip too many hami enhancements.... CLONES!

[ QUOTE ]
Nah, just keep a sharp eye out for Rikti invasions. They happen everytime someone finishes a Lady Grey TF. It just randomly spawns in different zones, so you need to keep an eye out for which zone it's happening in. Do you have the "Hero Zone Event" (or Villain) messages in your chat box? Those will let you know when an invasion happens.

I know of one group that does a Lady Grey every night of the week around 6-8ish PM Eastern, and I know there are other groups that run them regularly.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now, that makes a sort of sense... I remember seeing something along the lines of a Hero Zone *Ash mumble* and a Villain Zone *Ash mumble* in the properties when adding the Freedom TF chat. Hrm; thanks.

Haha! Thanks!
Aye, reading on that and the "new dynamics" now. Appreciate it.

Edit: darn; looks like last weekend's busy weekend killed my best chance at closing down bombs... but, other than that, take out the those pylons and then raid the ship. Gotcha, cool.

Huh. How did you know I had that spreadsheet open?

Blaster 4
Tank 4
Corrupter 4
Brute 4
Scrapper 3
Controller 3
Dominator 3
MM 2
Stalker 2
Defender 1
Peacebringer 1
Warshade 1
Soldier 1
Widow 1

Muties: 8
Naturals: 7
Magic: 2
Tech: 9 (howdidthathappen!?)
Science: 8

(that's just the main server. Other servers... that's a spreadsheet I don't have at work)

He won't be able to get into the Shadow Shard if his toon is mid 20's, it's 40+. But YOU should go

[/ QUOTE ]
Gotcha. The Server Slaying Freedom Horde of DOOM's not going to be in there for a while, rifght?

[ QUOTE ]
And Croatoa, go NAOWWWW (Or at least when you get home from work).

[/ QUOTE ]
?? Okay, when I get home, I'll load ze blaster and take a gander.

[ QUOTE ]
If his toon is 25+ You can also introduce him to Ouroborus, and run some really fun mission through there, including the ones the mendors hand out.

PS: Don't mind me, I cannot spell today. Just hope ya get the point

[/ QUOTE ]

Hrm, I'll show him that, too. I'm worried that it won't immerse him; he's finicky. And, picky. :-S

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
If he was raised on a diet of Paragon City recovering from the Rikti War, you should intro him to the RWZ at lvl 35+ - the SECOND Rikti War.

That was one well-done issue.

[/ QUOTE ]

If he is in his 20s, you can also do the 2nd half of the Faultline arcs & Striga Island arcs - at 25+ hit Croatoa...

Also running the Ouroboros arc is fun (25+) & the first Ouro TF.

Moonfire TF in Striga (23-28) & Hess when you get it unlocked (25-30).

[/ QUOTE ]

Sheesh, looks like I have reading to do in the wiki. I'm totally unfamiliar with most of those zones. I'm still in the mindset of "20 means patrol the far side of TI for inkmen. Mid-twenties find warriors and freaks." :-S
Thanks!

That reminds me, I'm going to have to talk someone into going over the differences between the crash site and RWZ... I've been in there thrice now, and it looks cool. That, and what the Rikti ship raid I see in conversation snipits around.

Thanks for the suggestions, folks. Now I just have to get him in game. :-S

Never been to the Shadow Shard or Croatia, myself, might try that.

Best I remember, he had one of the few dark/dark defenders back in the day when folks hated having dark darks on a team. So, he was... mid twenties? Again, this was when the cap was forty.

I don't remember if his altitis kicked in, but we only had eight slots in those days. :P (I don't remember his other toons, honestly)

[ QUOTE ]
I've yet to find a "true" active VG on Freedom ;(

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you'll find this is why. In short, it's a mindset thing.

Any ideas on a good place (other than AE) where I could take him?

Long story short, he and I both beta'd many games together and used to play most MMOs together, but going for my masters and him generally being overworked (as I once was) resulted in disconnecting over the last couple of years. I'm trying to get him back in this weekend or in the near future, and I'm looking for a place to shake him down.
(He hasn't played CoH since... before ED)

Smack a Nictus is a fun game though...
...oh, wait, nevermind :-S

I'll be along too, on the blaster or corrupter if needed tomorrow.

This weekend, I'm split between leveling the lower alts (the two khelds, soldier, and widow especially), or working on influence/infamy... gar...

I learned early on that I'm not a fan of Speed ITF's, so I only join ITF's if I'm leading, or on a team that I know will stick together and not go crazy (Freedom Horders!).

[/ QUOTE ]

I have become of the same opinion. :-S

Natural booster:
...more costumes per toon.

Was definitely fun, that ITF run. I've only done one other prior and I much prefer the way this run went.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you do a speed run that other time? I hate speed runs. So unfun. But that's just me

[/ QUOTE ]

They didn't explicitly say that it was a speed run. However, either they were on Vent, or knew exactly where to go for each cyst, etc.
Basically, it was really, really evident during the cyst run that everyone OTHER than myself had a stealth option. As soon as we were on that map, it was a seven-way split.

Eng/eng blaster. Loved it from beta to today.
Favorite power: nova when dropped.. just... right.... muhahhahaha!

Go ahead and put Myrdinn down for the ITF as well. Stayed up a bit later last night, and I think I have a handle on the morning coffee routine now (three cups, instead of two, and I seem to be fine).

Was definitely fun, that ITF run. I've only done one other prior and I much prefer the way this run went.

Now that I think about it...
...Mutie pack: Lost and Rikti costume pieces. Including the original artwork for the Rikti (pre-armor) that we can put normal costume pieces on...

Infinite character slots.


...okay. I'll take 255 though. Per server.

I'll be there with ze blaster Myrdinn. The later run, depends on the time, but I'll try.
(I have committee meetings on Tuesdays with the big boss. Two and a half long meetings, and I'd rather not be totally kaput as I am today. I AM supposed to be working on the grand plan to replace him, and he knows it.)

Can you put me down as an alternate for the Saturday evening ones? I don't know how my Saturday will run; it's all down to if I'm needed by various members of the family to do sundry things or not.

Why must mutation costumes be bestial? Why not have, oh, four arms? Borrow the crab animations or somesuch.

Natural additions: I like the current selection of suits from the haberdashery, so... a football/basketball uniform?

...or rebind the forward key to execute both a forward movement and a flying pose. (that's what I do for my flying toons) That way, when you are flying, it automatically puts you in that pose.

Although, I WOULD like it to just be something to pick, honestly.

[/ QUOTE ]

to add to this, I've found it easier to rework the autorun key instead of the forward key.

/bind r "autorun 1$$em flypose#"

r being the default autorun key and # being the number for the flypose you want to use

[/ QUOTE ]

Good point. Guess I never got into the habit of autorunning in flight due to mid-air ambushes. Dag burn old 5th Column.

[ QUOTE ]

Seeing them as being all about Lord Recluse is taking too narrow a view of them, IMO, whatever their stated purpose might be.

[/ QUOTE ]

Galaxy City, too. Dag burn it, am I the only one that starts their new toons there!?

Anyway, though, Atlas/Kings/Galaxy city are places where new heroes need help... so that maybe why they are the exception. Plus, it would be a good "training ground" for more hazardous zones, by lore standards, for Longbow.
