Grey Pilgrim · 06-19-2009 10:45 AM

Hey all, I'm still working on that dratted Task Force Commander for one of my tanks. Synapse is next up on the list, so come one, come all. 7:30 PM Central/8:30 Eastern, etc. If anyone wants to bring a stealth/tper for the few missions you can shorten, go for it.

I could join this. I could bring my fire/fire blaster, she has stealth and the vet team tp.

Grey Pilgrim · 06-19-2009 10:23 PM

Yeah, sorry MP. I'm not much in to PvP, and this is my one chance to run a Synapse for a bit, as I probably will be too busy next weekend. I hope your event goes well. Not even sure how these gladiators work... are they a one use thing? Can you control them?

And yay for Des and Bunny. Looks like we're doing pretty solid so far. Anyone else want in?

GP, gladiators pretty much work exactly like MM pets. I don't think you can feed them skittle or anything. Basically, you control the gladiators, that's it. None of your powers work and you can't attack the player's themselves. Only the Gladiators get attacked or can attack, but Gladiators will buff each other.

Unfortunately, and I'm not sure what MP could do to prevent this from happening at her event, you actually can feed gladiators skittles. Now, if anything, it may be limited to the Mastermind AT, since they're used to handing insps to pets. The bug itself is being squashed in i15, but that's not going to be live in time for the event.

i15 patch note: Masterminds can no longer inspire Gladiator pets.

As for the rest of the AT's, I thought we could, but it's been a long time since I tried it.

Sorry, I wasn't specifying any rules for Madame Pistcio's event. My comments were regarding gladiators in general. I wasn't sure if you could hand them skittles anymore, I have not done a serious Gladiator match in quite some time.

Well that was fun! I'd also like to add that I didn't die, ever!

Grey Pilgrim · 06-20-2009 08:58 PM

I'm sure that had nothing to do with the TF having 3 tanks and the ever crazy Des on the team.

TF was pretty solid, though, I think Des had our only deaths, heh. Guess 3 tanks really wasn't enough! Course, he did have them while stealthing for us, so we can't really hold it against him, hehe.

Anyone know if it's a known bug yet when you crash while exiting the last mission in a TF? Seems to happen too much not to be, especially since 5 of 7 of us crashed tonight.

Oh, and thanks for not being cranky about me showing up late, Bunny and Des. Really didn't mean to, so I appreciate the understanding.

How late? Thought about trying to log in for it, but 830 was too early.

Still haven't had the TF crash myself, but have been teamed with plenty who have. I think it's happening when the completion window pops up (where it says time, defeats, etc)?

I've already forgotten about most of you

Desmodos · 06-21-2009 06:30 AM

He was about 15 mins late, maybe less.

The crash seems to happen before the pop up window. It's happened to me once or twice but I've seen it happen many more time to others. It's always while exiting the last mission. Instead of zoning out of the mission, you just crash. Usually, the pop up window opens after you've exited the mission, at least on my end.

The TF went relatively smoothly. 2 hours 10 mins. 28 deaths but sadly I can't claim all of them, maybe 5-7 of them. Most the deaths occurred while "stealthing" since none of us actually had stealth.

Ah, you didn't have stealth, Des? Thought you did. And don't you be pulling legs, Des... 28 deaths? I don't recall them being nearly that high... thought we just had a few.

We got going at about 8:02 Central after hunting for the remaining team members for about 15-20 minutes. We actually ran with seven, too. Babbage took fairly long since we didn't have many people wanting to join in on him.

What time was good for you, Voo? I really don't mind moving around times 30 minutes or so (and we obviously started a half hour late), so you should have said something. DC and jumped in last minute, too.

I made no claims one way or the other. I simply stated of the 28 deaths, only 5-7 were mine. That I recall, atleast two of those occurred while 'stealthing' and at least another two from attempting to use an awaken mid-combat.

I can only tell you what the pop up window indicated. We were moving a decent pace. We never had a team wipe and none of the defeats slowed our pace, so it's easy to lose count of them.

Grey Pilgrim · 06-21-2009 12:37 PM

I'm just used to you stealthing things, which I equate with actually having stealth. So I was just assuming, not saying claimed something.

Man, 28 seems really high, I only remember a few here and there, so I am REALLY surprised by that.

Could have made around 9, maybe. Figured you would have started before then at the least so didn't make any extra effort by that time.

Grey Pilgrim · 06-21-2009 02:26 PM

Ah, well I can be pretty flexible on the weekends, so feel free to ask if everyone can do it a little later. I like to give a firm time since not doing so gets wishy-washy and fewer people seem to want to join.
