Was in a couple zone invasion teams today with my Thugs/Traps.
Traps is tailor-made for these encounter 
.
Our team will lack Trip Mines but lots of Poison Traps,Mortars and Caltrops will be good enough.
It will be similar to our bank missions - minions dead on arrival,LTs severely wounded,Bosses puking their guts out.
The Heavies could be a bit problematic if they surprise us,but the rest should be easy - and a lot of fun .

Life is going to be less straightforward now that the zone cap was reduced in the hotfix. Fewer people around means a larger share of the aggro per member of the raid.

Ooh, I wasn't aware that they'd lowered the RWZ zone cap in that patch. Ah well, it's certainly for the best.
See you Trappers tonight!
That was a fun evening, though I must apologise to any folks who aren't as obsessed about fighting off invasions as I am. 
Great to see Ms Taken return as well! Hope you'll be able to make it next week too.
Sooooo close to Full Auto now.
Monday again, already??
Ah well, see you tonight!
Well what I managed to attend last night was lots of fun.
Unfortunately my net connection has cruelly done itself some kind of malfunction and I have no net at home now.
Let me know what you go up to in my absence (level/mission-wise) and I'll try and catch up once I get this problem sorted out.
After we took down Mynx four times (?) it was quite late so I snuck into bed
A few lvl 32's now so uber pets and I suspect the rest of us bar Ms are not too far behind as well.
I'm almost at lvl 25 now, working my way up to you 
Ah, well I'll save my Mynx for next week then unless you're sick of it.
YEah I thought there's be a few 32s - I was expecting to ding myself if I'd played the full 3 hours-ish.
Yup, Mynx proved to be no problem whatsoever. I (almost) pity the poor Longbow grunt who is put on catsick-cleaning detail, after all our poison traps.
The Intrepid's / The Institution - Union Server Hero / Villain Supergroups
Looking forward to tonight. I should get to 32 finally, plus we can pummel Mynx one more time. It'll be my last full-length Trapper session for a little while as well, so can't wait.
Last night was quite enjoyable. We gave Back Alley Brawler a half-dzoen lessons in respect, mua ha ha...
How is everyone for Shivans? If we have enough we could try the respec again next week, since most of us are lvl 32 now. Otherwise, a trip to Bloody Bay is part of the plan.
See you folks tonight. Unfortunately I'll only be able to stay for an hour or so, due to work. Hoepfully see you at 7pm.
A different night than normal for TNT - PvP in SC!
Noddy, Phipps and Grizz took some early beatings (and there were many) but came back strong and I think we (the combined villain forces) got the win overall
Think we made some new friends among the 'gooders' and this combined with last nights SC PvP fest was quite enjoyable
(to the stormy in Super Union, sorry for the drone but you were #1 uber threat at that point and it was the only one of the night 
(from me anyway).)
I've been curious to see how stacked traps would perform for ages so this was a barrel of fun for me.

2 poison traps should get rid of a /regen quite fast (You can get 2 by yourself)
So we're on again tonight

I think it would have to be tested in a controlled manner. I've seen regens LOOK like they were struggling once they succumb to poison trap though. And yep, I'll be around tonight

I got gangbuster badge if anyone wants to do the slot machine contact next week
Might be a bit low now though :S

What level are you?
If you're past level 35 then having the badge means nothing. The Slot Machine won't talk to you.
I know this because I missed the slot machine on my MM, and it won't talk to me now, even though I've got the badge.
(unless, of course, they've changed it since I last tried.)

Fair enough.
It was the 'Might be a bit low now though' comment that confused me
I quite like the Slot Machine 'arc' (it's really rather short). Managed to get it unlocked on my Brute, even if one of the maps was horribly bugged making the mission incompletable (fixed now, it was the Oranbega 'trench' map tile with the hostage in the water, and no way for the hostage to get out of the water...)

Good good. You'd better not have Trip Mines before I can play again!
Do the Slot Machine contact, before you outlevel it. Definitely do.

Ah yes. I meant it might be a bit low for some other people who are a bit higher than me.

Hi, got room for a substitute Trapper tonight?

I was thinking of wheeling Motor Mouth out to see how he does against those invasions. I could see traps being really useful since the rikti will just spawn right on top of them once they get going.

Had Toybox on a raid on day one.
Got myself up top, stood in the middle of the crowd, set the Bots to freefire mode, and then just stood there, making sure I had FFG running all the time, centred in the mass of people, dropping any traps I had recharged whenever I could.
Didn't plant once.
