Thats a whole new system.. and Im not to that point yet. I like the machine, but it could stand a little boost, not a bullet to the head.

Okie, Ive got a E6850 core 2 duo on a Dell 0TP406 motherboard.
Its getting a little long in the tooth, I really like the machine, so I was thinking about going to a core 2 quad Q9550 (or close to.. but the same LGA 755 form factor). In theory I should be okay, but Im having one heck of a time finding if the board will support it. I know the board does support quad (it was an option when I got it Q6600 was the quad at the time), but is there someplace that has a great spread sheet of compatiabilities?

We dont have to run Saturday night, I was just tossing it out there as a possible. If we can get the interest high enough, then we will hammer out a time.

You heard the man, its his raid. He will be using a WP to do it.

If the spike teams can get around fast enough, a WP can stay alive long enough with buffs. But there huge emphesis on yellow spike. PainBringer's +regen will get overwhelmed with the -regen blasts if it takes too long. I would also recommend (if not already at HP cap) get a Cold to Frostwork ya since regen is based from max hp.

So If im placing all the information together:

March: Pre-Orders of GR get DP and DS power sets.
April: Ultra-Mode + i17
June/July: GR

Did I miss anything?

Okie, as I moved i to his last day job spot this morning, the MoBSF badge is still looking at me from the other side of the room with a snide look. Mocking me. Laughing at me. Keeping me away from getting them all.

So 'tis to you, fellow Championites, I give a call to arms!

Im thinking Saturday Night, Feb 13 (how appropriate) with a 7pmCST start (5pmP/8pmE). This is mutable based on responces, but I really want to get this badge off my back.

We will need one MM for this because of the temp powers.

(Yes I do have MoLRSF, so please no snide comments about LoLDAbrute.)

I know my DA brute can tank hami for extended periods with some +rech to fuel Dark Regen (Dark Regen works regardless of the amount of -heal stacked). I would imagine I would need EoEs until the greens go down so I could regen between blasts and heals. The biggest drawback, is of cource, the need for targets to heal from. Hami is one, and while I haven't tried, Oil Slick might be a second target (2 targets = 100% heal for me). With 2 targets and some +rech, I can heal out some 1600pts every 11 seconds. Easily enough with an EoE, and maybe enough without EoEs.

Im not sure the zone even filled last night. I logged in during the monster kill.

Zub showed up in the middle of the 4th wave..... surprise surprise =P

2927 for Anonymouse.
920 for FoxxFire - a day 1 hero... =(
2488 for i Nubis

My 3 most played toons, and barely 1/2 a Cobalt.

Ill be there..... hopefully. =P

11k...

Oh there is snide comment in there somewhere......

Ill have to see who has more on both sides and if my badgers are also my worst offenders in this catagory.

I just got a double-escalate email followed by a quick reply that "an error" had indeed occured and that my account has been fixed. It will have to wait until I get home to verify but Huzzah!
less that 1 week to 698 (last day job +accolade) blue side
and less than 24 days to 620 (last 2 day jobs +accolades) red side

But speaking of red side: Notice that Titan Network doesnt recognize "Lost Savior" for those of use crafty enough to get it red side. Badge-Hunter does.

Im just saying.....

Why stop with just one faction, there are several that need some serious updating.

1) Sky Raiders and GoldBrickers. The Sky Raiders are meh. They have a compelling story line to thier existence, but for ex-mil spec ops, they are really really weak. Matla pwns but the Sky Raiders suck. What gives? Take some of the 'Brickers' sonic weapons and put them with the Raiders and you start to have a faction with a little more bite. I dont want to just eliminate Midas' story, because it too is pretty good, but it just stops too early in the game. These two groups need to talk to each other, because they really need each other.

2) Malta. They need a better reason to exist. For a "behind the scenes" organization, they tend to flaunt it quite a bit. They should be ret-conned into being the "elite" of the Family. The members of the Family that show exceptional prowess get invited into the Malta ("an offer they can't refuse.") It would make a nice transition from the 30s into the 40s for the Family fading away and the Malta stepping up. And of cource adding some gravy powers to some of the Malta would just be silly fun.

3) Outcasts, Warriors, and Tsoo. 3 low to mid level groups that seem to have a perfect 3-way battle for control of the streets. Outcasts have thier elemental powers, Warriors are focused heavily on physical/melee attacks, and the Tsoo are a magic/MA hybrid. The Tsoo persist alot longer than the other groups, but I dont see why dont have more street fighting between the groups aside from some minor skirmishing in the northern end of Steel. Some serious ret-conning of not only the origin of these groups but how they should have intertwined past, present, and future should be in order.

4) Trolls. I have no idea where to start here. Okay, I like the raves, I don't mind they have most of the Hallows, but seriously, who goes to the Hallows anymore? The trolls need a new offensive, spreading deeper into Steel and Skyway (beyond the raves) and perhaps trying to get a foot hold in IP or Talos. I like this group, but they seem to be stagnating despite having thier own zone event.

Yup. There are some quirky ways to heal while slept (like Corruptors heal aura) thus breaking sleep.

But IMHO, the self heal is unreliable and of low magnitude. I tried it in a Mind Controller.... junked it.

My was "due" on Jan 28th. Still no 69month as of this morning.
Petition filed. =(

No, no, no.

Its bump, set, spike. Volleyball, but with Rikti! Its Riktiball!

4 Teams in all tonight.
Katie TF lead by Myr Success
Hess TF lead by Witty Success
And 2 Misc teams, I lead up a group of newbies up to a L40 and Prima Diva lead a more high level team.

Not bad at all Tankers.

If you are willing to lead it up, you can recruit for any activity/TF you want to.

If I could engrain just a small but of info into every new player of CoX.. it would be this:

Level 1-21: Heals beat debuffs/buffs (because until slotted SO/IO, most debuffs/buffs aren't as effective unless stacked).
Levels 22+: Buffs/debuffs beat heals (because of slotting and the non-linearity effect of buffs/debuffs, past this heals are a secondary, even to Emapthy.)

Yes heals have thier place, but if I'm healing with my Emp, it means im not covering enough of the team with Fort/Cm/AB/Auras.

Its that time again.

And its Groundhog's day. Aside from some Red Caps in Katie TF, there isnt much else that pops out of the ground to play whack a groundhog with... so Im considering an all-tanker run at that. (I know how the last one turned out, but Katie only spawns L34 now, all 10 times, so her melee debuff should be as bad, plus we get out tier 9 secondaries now).

Be there or be squishy.

Whens the MoBSF?

"Autobots! Roll out!"
