If you want to see how it all works, I would suggest checking out our raid this coming Saturday.

Either or. Which ever you like playing more. Heck, even the scrapper would do nicely.

Just a few things heard at the panel:
Alpha Task Force with Apex as the contact
Fitness becoming inherent
Primal Earth toons gaining entry into Praetoria (legitimately)
I19 scheduled for Fall 2010

Another thing to keep in mind is that your STF team was probably armed to the teeth with buffs and debuffs. A lot of teams running for badges as of late wouldn't have that kind of a team build. So what did you have for backup in each scenario?

So another success. Was under half an hour, thinking 20ish but not sure. The obelisk phase went perfectly. Took 3 cycles to drop him. All in all a great run. Most of that 30 minutes was giving out instructions. Thank you everyone who showed up. And thank you everyone who brought darks and buffy/debuffy toons, WB nukes, shivans, etc.

From start of countdown to finish, 22:14. We have a new record. Great raid! I'll be out of town for PAX next week. Will be back raiding again September 11th.

Happy Birthday n00b!

A few people got their badging toons in last time. I suspect that it's possible we can get a few badging toons in this time. But the same rules apply as last time, warburg nukes, shivans, vanguard heavies (new), the works. Dark miasma, buff sets with AOE heals, and poison (new) will be given first consideration. A badging toon that has neither those sets nor the PVP temp powers will be given a slot only if we run out of people to invite otherwise. We will be running villainside again this coming Sunday (that's 5 days from the time of this post), the 29th, 5pm Pacific/8pm Eastern. Meeting at the Port Oakes base portal.

So... Thanks to everyone who showed up.
We had a rough start but we got it done.

Gratz to everyone who got the badge. Next attempt TBA.

That was a great raid. The speed and execution rival the best that I've seen. Having so many scrappers made killing the yellows quick and easy, which in turn made the rest of the raid quick and easy. Truth be told we had enough firepower to plow through the last 2 blooms simultaneously, but opted to stick with the plan. Thank you to everyone who came. Hope to see a repeat performance in the Abyss next week. See ya then.

Based on what we have in resources red side compared to blue side, we're going to make our next CoP attempt villain side. Also, if you plan on participating, please see about getting a full set of warburg nukes and shivans. We will gather at the Port Oakes base portal and team invites will start at 4:45pm Pacific/7:45pm Eastern Sunday and the trial will start at 5pm Pacific/8pm Eastern. Apologies to those who weren't able to get in on the last attempt, but there were only 24 spots just as there is only 24 spots for this one. So as much as I would like to get every badger their badge, we really need to be able to finish this before anyone can get the badge. With that said, Defenders, Controllers, MMs, and Corruptors with a PBAOE heal, particularly dark miasma, will be given first consideration. Also, you must be a villain or rogue to be able to enter a villain base (being a vigilante will not let you enter a villain base).
Once we're able to finish this, we'll see about getting badgers their badge. Please reply if you are interested in joining and/or have concerns. Thanks.

Has anyone gotten the email with their preorder goodie code? I know the people who preordered in-store got their codes on their receipts. It has been 2 days since launch and none of the people I have spoken to who preordered online has gotten their codes yet despite having received their copies of GR CC. So I called Gamestop customer support and the rep said that NCSoft has been late in providing them with the codes. I'm not buying the story though because he also claimed that a batch of emails with goodie codes has been sent out last evening and that another batch should be going out before the end of business today. And that's why I'm asking to see if anyone has gotten such an email yet. Though it's not the end of the world that my new GR characters don't get those enhancements, it does strike me as just bad business on GS's part that they were not able to deliver the codes in a timely manner.
The fact that GR was switched on a day early and that frespecs are being handed out today makes this delay that much more of a negative experience. I believe my expectation of having the extras, that are associated with the preorder, available on launch day to be a reasonable one. Any insight or input regarding this manner would be appreciated.

Actually it will be round 3. The one you were on was round 2. Post coming a little later after I get a few details down.

We'll be attempting the CoP trial heroside Tuesday 6:30pm Pacific/9:30pm Eastern. Reply here or send me an offline tell if interested.

I might be on my brute for the hero raid. But we'll see.

Happy Birthday! ^_^

Happy Birthday.

Great raid. We plowed through the last bloom with only 36. And this is the last raid before Going Rogue. Hopefully, with toons having access to both sides we'll see better turnout for raids. Thanks for coming and see ya next week in the Hive.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful wife, Nomme! ^_^
