  1. I just had my petition turned down by the CSRs stating "There is no bug. The thread you gave me is player chat, which is not official. The system works as intended and we will not be giving out any VR enhancements to players who receive commons. The only advise I can give you is to participate as much as possible in the future so that you get the reward you want."

    So, yeah. Petitions are an uphill battle. YMMV.
  2. Congratulations from Freedom to Azazel for winning the PERC Ms. Paragon Universe 2011 title! Well done!
  3. Grats to Deathsman for winning the overall contest for the guys.
  4. Did a 2nd one last night, that's why I msg'd you... good pug run too, ETA on finish was about 45 minutes or so.

    Some tips:

    1. Clarion Core Epiphany. Just get it.
    2. Make sure your other Inc slots give you a total of +3. Since you're waiting to run it, might as well do other runs to increase the iXP swag and move you up the food chain if you haven't done so already.
    3. A T4 damage + heal combo Lore solution is good. I prefer Phantom Radial for the nice self-buffs the buffer throw me, but YMMV.If you're built tough and you just wanna rock the joint, pick whatever you want. Longbow Core is nice, so's Polar Lights Core too (excellent ranged AOE attacks for mob destruction).
    4. Offer to LEAD the UG run. There's lotsa followers, but not a lot of leaders out there.
  5. I just did a UG run where I only escorted Des after someone lost her in the Bomb curvy halls (the escort was TP'd away, leaving Des near other mobs). I went back, nabbed her, took her thru the now-empty halls (because the team had been clearing as they went along), brought her to the AV door, fought the AV, and only got an Uncommon. I was fighting normally for the first half of the trial, then I went and triggered the bombs, THEN went back to re-escort Desdemona. With all the fighting I was doing earlier on, the VR/Rare should have been guaranteed.
  6. Went remarkably well, too. Terminotaur was calling the shots, even got a few inadvertent Master-required badges doing it.
  7. Running a UG right now, btw. =/
  8. THIS Saturday's not gonna be the MoLAM sadly, I'm not going to be available 'til around 1130 that night. However, I suggested to E-Man to set up a Lambda "get to know you slow an' sweet" run for Lambda newbies, so they know what's expected for any run, and then work on Master tactics. I'll ping him to see if he's still doing this, or if he has something else in mind.
  9. HAI ME ME ME.

    Many toons TBA. I'll park 'em in Ouro and bring 'em out when we have a gameplan.
  10. Well, there's an upcoming Horde run for a Master Lambda trial; we'll tackle Keyes and Underground shortly thereafter. Our usual run times are 1030pm EDT (-5 GMT offset). A bit late for you, but if you can man up for a late Saturday night/Sunday morning run, I'll promise it'll be a fun run.

    GL on the earlier trial runs; IMO, advertise your runs every day at the stated time, and eventually you'll build a following of people who'll want to tag along and help.

    Honestly? Run with PUGs and find people/crews that you like. Then make your inquiry pitch. IMO, it's the best way to find a group that best suits your gamestyle, instead of going the other way around (sign up for a SG, join, run with them a few times, realize they're morons, etc).

    I've been on Union, but Freedom looks much, much, much, more active.
    I remember going in Pocket D in Union without finding a single player...
    The servers weren't merged, but the hard restriction between transferring US <> EU is now gone. So, you can global-msg someone in the UK or French server now, or transfer a toon from there to here, and vice versa.

    Only after the fact. Total seriousness, I asked a bunch of times if I was in-shot. The first time I sat down, they said something, so I shifted the chair to get outta frame, and they gave the thumbs up. I leaned forward and asked "is this in frame", and they said that I was good, so...

    ...but c'mon, I have handsome earlobes.

    Er.

    That's my head.

    That was a Turg Question(tm).
  17. There are more than a few EU based groups established on Freedom. I can't exactly NAME them off the top of my head though. I'd suggest going to Freedom around noon-5pm EST (that'd be 5-10pm GMT or thereabouts) and start asking on Help, or in AP Broadcast. Don't spam the inquiries, but definitely ask around; with luck someone can point you in the right direction.
  18. I'd like to dance to this tune. Supreme Soviet (bots/traps MM) please.

    And why would you assume champion players are the primary members? Its obviously a freedom channel, not a champion.
    Champion United is a completely different channel, for a completely different server.....
    *shrugs* I thought it was just "United". I know you're Champion-origin, the channel seemed to be pre-structured for mods and so-forth, so I just hazarded a guess it originated with Champion players. Wrongly, apparently.

    I'll put it up tonight. Thanks for the info.

  21. ...but Posi kept his cool. And why is that?

    I'll add this to the master channel list since it's public. To be clear, the channel name is "United"? Is it a multi-server channel? I assume Champion players are the primary members?

    (Get off mah server, Bud.)

  24. Hrm. I'm willing to assist, but 7:30pm EST cuts into my family time here. Any chance on you timeshifting to 10pm or later? If not, that's fine, I'll just wish your gang luck on this.

    Yeah, well, the winner was the one who shoulda gotten the haircut, but he ended up being already near-shaven. Turning the tables and giving Posi the haircut wasn't exactly the plan, but it worked well enough.
