I'm on Virtue till the server gets turned off.
For good or ill.
Would be silly to leave anyways considering I run VirtueVerse >_< -

Quote:I believe I'm the only person running villain raids now (successfully at least). And Tuesdays are a no go for me, at least at the originally scheduled time. If someone is willing to pick up running it I'd be happy to go over some basic strategy/help them get set up.Two Tuesdays in a row, I've shown up for the Abyss raid and found nobody else there. Did the person who was running them quit?
Otherwise it would need to be more like 8:30-9 PM EDT for me to be able to run it. I often don't get home till after 7 on weeknights from work and food comes well before gaming time. -
Quote:Gladly, I enjoy raiding so I was sad when it wasn't happening as often.Thanks for getting these up and running, Ransim. It was a lot of fun, and you deserve kudos for getting things started again.
Schedule permitting I'll be around next weekend at the same time to go it again.
I'm not sure if I can do a blue raid this week, I have to play it by ear, my other half comes home Saturday and he's been gone all week so I may not be on but I will definitely be around for the Sunday villain raid. Just keep an eye on here and VirtueUnited around raid time Saturday, I've also been announcing it on twitter.
I also believe Exxcalibur in game has been running weekday hero raids on I believe Monday and Wednesday evenings. -
Curious, the style reminds me a lot of Vampire Hunter D. Not the artwork from the books but the artwork in the second animated movie.
Very nice indeed. -
Another winners art piece:

Just a heads up, Hero side raid will be in about an hour!

Updated the popmenu, added some short cut keys to some important calls.

Just a heads up guys, there will be raids on both days this weekend.
Saturday June 11 @ 4 PM EDT - Hero Side in the Hive
Open to Heroes, Vigilantes and Rogues level 45+
You can get to the hive through Eden which is located off Founders Falls
Sunday June 12 @ 5 PM EDT - Villain Side in the Abyss
Open to Villains, Rogues and Vigilantes level 45+
The Abyss is entrance is located in Grandville from a sub near the Rikti War Zone entrance.
Details:
Rewards are 53 merits, 4 shards or a Hamidon Origin enhancement. The zone itself can accommodate 50 players. Once we have at least 33 people we can start, the raid takes about 20 minutes once started.
Look forward to seeing the regular red side raiders on Sunday and maybe meeting some new people on Saturday. -

Hmmmm that's 1 AM EDT right?
I'd love to come and hang around but it might be just a wee bit to late...
I guess we'll have to see if I am awake enough to come.
Edit: I'm going to go ahead and blame work. My brain was thinking backward, I'm too use to calculating for PST >_>
I definitely can't make it then I'll be running the Virtue Blue raid. =( -
I will be free this Saturday so I can try to run a Hero Raid. Really depends on whether or not enough people show up.
So Saturday at 4 PM EDT for blue side hami?
Edit: Unfortunately my Saturdays tend to be up in the air so I generally can't be on for raids Saturday. I also get home too late on Weekdays to run raids so I can really only do the Sunday villain raids. -
Well it appears at least one of the winners art pieces is done. Lightning fast turn around by Juggertha! Hopefully the winner likes it!

Quote:Hey you know octopi need to party too, sheesh. Can't an eight legged cephalopod get a what what with the ladies too?I'm not sure I'd classify a giant octopus spawing in the middle of pocket D any form of decent roleplay, more like "Hey hey, keeeerazzzy computer game antics".
A Community Rep spawning in as a known Hero or Villain in Pocket D is fine, at least it can be handwaved away easier. One spawning in as an insane demi-god, police car or giant octopus is just daft and immersion-breaking any way you roll it.
Why not spawn as a GM in a chosen zone and do it semi in-character instead? I'm sure you'd get a better reaction from the zone inhabitants too and city zones are large enough for people to work around it as needed.
But hey if you consider that immersion breaking but don't bat an eye at the half gnome half angel/demon werebeaver hanging around in Pocket D lamenting their subscription to sexy wereferrets daily expired, more power to you... -
Quote:OuroborosI think I'll need to modify my objectives, and I know exactly how to do that. Instead of looking for a throne, I'll just settle for taking screenshots of this character in a bright place with a light or white background. Her costume is predominantly black, so if I take a screenshot in, say, Sharkhead at night, I may as well be posting a screenshot of a photocopy of carbon paper.
Modifying my objectives like this seems to give me an easy answer - Aeon City in Cap au Diable. That place is mostly grey and white, at least in terms of the ground surface and at least the low walls. I originally wanted to try the Jackpot area on St. Martial island, but that's predominantly grey and black.
Any ideas where else I can find a nice, well-lit bright background on Villain-side that doesn't look like garbage, a slim or a high-tech base? -
I posted this over in the Virtue Raiding guide but thought you guys might find it useful as well.
I put together a popmenu for raid leaders to use so that you don't need trays of macros or tons of binds.

Quote:Are you getting any specific error messages? DB Server error or anything specific?Have I missed something?
I'm trying to get into the game after the downtime and I can log in ok, but when I click on a server it sends me back to the login screen??
You might have better luck asking in the Technical Issues area of the forums.
There is a thread about EU players being pointed to the wrong game, so maybe that's it?
I'm not EU myself, so I have no way of knowing if that is still a valid problem. -
Not nearly as many as the people here, and I'm at work so I can't look, but I'd guess easily 50+.
My critters folder is just as bad. -
Quote:I wonder if people correlated the start of the Rikti invasion with Beastyle being on? Wasn't Beastyle's faul of course it was just timing, interrupted our party. >_>Interesting,
Whenever I'm on, I don't actually do anything to directly affect a player, i.e.; drop bombs. Not sure where that came from.
The worst I'll do is transform myself into a pyre of flame, but that doesn't actually harm anyone.
But that said I know Ghost Widow use to pop on and RP, I fondly remember her kidnapping the groom in a wedding I was part of and being involved in a merry chase across Bloody Bay.
I'm not a heavy RPer myself so I don't really expect the devs to RP, I'm just glad they're here, having fun and hanging out with us. Its a nice interactive break and something different.
Well and its always fun getting you guys to transform into different stuff and use amusing emotes. The war walker with the tea bag at the steampunk/retro CC was hilarious.
But you'll always have someone complain about something. Personally I think if they feel a dev is ruining their RP they should just go somewhere else. It is a huge game world after all. Either that or go with the flow!
