The Classics Team


Cynic

 

Posted

After a short chat in the Forumite Global, I've decided to form a team of players, who will meet once a week (I'm thinking Friday nights, from 8pm GMT) with all new alts representing a generic AT. Each team-mate will take one particular AT, and run with it - just to see the effectiveness of the game when it's equally representative of the types of Heroes we can create in-game. Sadly, this means we can only have a total of seven people join in, so it's a first come, first served basis.

If you want to join in, add your name to the list below:

Blaster
Frozen Rogue
Controller
Primaxi
Defender
Fire Guardian
Scrapper
MaXimillion
Tanker
X
Peacebringer
Cynic
Warshade
Stasis

I'm thinking of rolling a controller or scrapper, not sure which yet though. Also, would be up for starting earlier than 8PM as well, if everyone else is fine with that.

Have you room for a Stasis on a WS?

Can you expand on what you mean FG? It certainly sounds very interesting. Would be interested in learning to play a tank or playing another blaster, depending on what it is you mean. Would it be be just 7 toons, one of each AT, with no partiuclar restraint on powerset choices, or did you mean something more complicated to evaulate the effectiveness. Either way, I'd be up for it but unfortunately I couldn't do the first friday of every month so would understand if this is a problem.

Sure thing, Frogue.

The basis behind my thoughts on this was basically borne of the fact that the Devs intended for CoH to be a team-based game - witness the fact that it's an MMO, rather than a single playered game. Who here has ever joined PuG where someone keeps spamming "lol we have four blasters and a scrapper"? I know I have. With the five standard ATs, and the two 'Epics', we could put together a team where each player has a set role within it - personally, I'd like to see what would happen.

To make things more interesting, I'd quite like anyone willing to join to feel free to go ahead and pick whatever powersets they want. If this is a team-based game, then every AT should work in conjunction with every other, no matter what sets get chosen. I know in practice, this isn't always the case, but it should be an interesting little test.

I wouldnt mind joining this, I've been thinking about making an earth troller anyway

I'd certainly be interested in this if you'll let me.

I'd be willing to play almost any AT if people have their heart set on something, but would like either the blaster/tanker role.

Well, as I say, it's first come, first served, so the first person to get a claim in will have that role.

If me missing the first friday of every month is not a problem I will take the blaster if that's ok (feel free to dispute it with my Jummyboy) as I feel I'd lose interest in the tanker role too quickly and really fancy playing a different kind of blaster than FR. So, if you're ok with my complications (and feel free to say No as I miagine it may be a pain without one of the ATs) then I'd like to play the blaster. Atleast then if I did miss weeks you've got the PB, Scrapper and eventually the warshade who can dish formidable damage.

No, that's cool with me. I'll edit my post to put you in.

If it turns out not being Fridays, Saturdays or Tuesdays I'd like to be the Peace Bringer, got a thought on an all human form, and knowing that I'd have 5 people to give me balance would be fun


"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

Well, the exact day is up for discussion. I'll put you down as the PB for now, and we'll see what happens.


 

Posted

If it helps, Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays will be a no-go for me.

Edit: As for times, my internet shuts off at 10:25, so the earlier the better for me really, thus 8 is a pretty good time but can do earliar since it's only one day a week.

Sign me up as a scrapper.


 

Posted

I'm intrested aswell
Was thiking about rolling out a scrapper again.

Edit: Or a controller

Cheers FG

Didn't Jum say he'd do the tanker role?


�How do I like my MMOs? I like them the way Paragon Studios used to make them.� - a fitting tribute from kiasa.org

EU, Union mostly.

Good point. Edited to take that into consideration.

Hmmm, I'm sure I said I'd take the controller on the first page?

Post saying my days edited to include times. Really looking foward to this actually as it's full of a mix of people I'm used to teaming with, plus new faces (well in regards to teamingwise from my point of you, certainly not from a forum point!)

By the way, which server are we planing to be on? I have slots on them all, but appreciate this is probably not the case for everyone else.

It's in union heroes, so I'd guess union

(Plus, I dont have slots on defiant)
