Dropships

This Friday, the Rikti Invasion starts again!

I've done several of these events, but I have never had the opportunity to try to take one of these massive ships out.

I love a challenge, I love trying things that are insanely hard or said to be impossible. So far, this meets all my criteria, so, why not?

I was thinking of starting off the Invasion weekend with taking one down on Friday night at 8 PM EST (which is 7 PM CST,5 pm PST).

If people are interested, please let me know! If you know of anything that would inhibit this from even being done (I know the fly limitations, which is offset by the flypack vendor), please say so!

Figure this is as good a place as any, and gives it a bump for you

Anyone know if the bombs have been put back on a leash? Or do they still run away, climbing tall buildings in a way to make even Spider Man jealous?


I've already forgotten about most of you

Bombs seem to stay in one place. However the Rikti ships have rayguns now that can damn near vaporize you in a single blast. My L50 MM without bodyguard on got reduced to one hit point by a ray blast from a ship. I even saw it shoot me. I was like, WTF!


<sigh> Viv says its no longer "all me".

Arggggghhhh!!

I forgot about this. I wanted to do a LGTF or (more hopefully) a BSF tonight for Friday TF's. I guess people will be working on the badges tonight.

I still have nightmares of trying to walk and chew gum at the same time...

Hasn't this always been the case? I've been getting zapped by the "death rays" for a long time now.

Sounds like a blast, Ohloh. I'm game. I hope enough people participate to make it possible. Judging by the youtube video I watched of it being done, we will need a decent size army.

Edit: Nevermind. I have to go up to the barn and throw hay bales around tonight.

We took out 2 Dropships! GREAT JOB VICTORY!

Special thanks to -&gt; 3D, Work Ethic, Shadow Fire, Vivace, and Meddik for running the teams with me! Yall were AWESOME!

We had approximately 25 for the first drop ship, then about 50 for the second one! Excellent job Victory! I tip my hat to you on achieving this awesome feat. [screen shots up soon, doing a tf now!]

Good work on organizing the raid olo, it was a blast!

You think you would get something better than 1.6k xp and a Rugged =p At least a Badge, or even merits. I mean, if it took you 50 people for the second one, you think that would be a reasonable reward.

RIP PX, GMW, and the game that used to be fun.

Still playing for reasons unknown.

Very impressive, sorry I missed it. If there's another attempt, I'll try to be there. Would be more useful, tanker or scrapper, or either?


VIRTUE: Ms Pris - 50 scrapper, Brai Master - 50 tank, Candi Pain - 50 scrapper
VICTORY: Little Bertha - 50 blaster

Posi actually went on record to say they deliberately removed good rewards so people would not feel they "needed" to do it, based on their difficulty. I was on the raid on test where we beat about 50 of them and were subsequently buffed. After that buff, I think the devs had thought they would not be taken down and people would lose interest.

Champion took down 18. Sorry couldn't resist.

Awesome! You got 18 small inspirs!

And you only got 2!

That's 200 percent more than most servers have managed, especially if you count villainside. Would have liked to attend this one but whenever something cool like this happens they seemed to get scheduled for multiple servers and at the same time. Victory rules!

200% of 0 = 2?

THEY ARE SMALL INSPIRS......YOU ARE BRAGGING YOU GOT MORE SMALL INSPIRS THAN SOME OTHER SERVER.

THANK YOU FOR MISSING THE POINT. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO USE CAPS NOW TO MAKE SURE YOU SEE THE SARCASM AND THE BLITHERING INSIGNIFICANCE OF YOU COMING TO ANOTHER SERVER FORUM BECAUSE YOU "couldn't help it".

I HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE DAY IN YOUR STUPOR-INDUCED NAIVEITY. THANK YOU FOR MAKING VICTORY A STOP ON YOUR "I HAVE NOTHING GOING ON IN MY LIFE" TOUR.


(and this is me having a good day)
