The meeting place tonight will be Striga. Meet on the deck of the ferry to form teams and we'll finish off the Lars Hansen arc this week.

It was late and I was tired

Timestamp on the jpeg says 23:50. Probably not the best of times to be cranking up Potatoshop.

Hey ho.

Oh, and current plans for next Sunday are the first Respec. Shouldn't take too long.

Well, the next few levels is when it becomes interesting...

Aerial gets the lobotomised Knockback blaster pet.

The blasters get their big hitters (Piranha gets what is, IMO, the best nuke in the game).

Lightning Storms start to appear, and Heat Loss means that endurance issues recede into the far distance.

And the tankers get their panic button.

And that's just at level 32....

Not a nuke, since it doesn't kill the end bar. It is probably the best targetted AoE attack in the game tho...

Canine, I think we had this discussion if it is for the power I imagine:
Nuke that leaves endo bar intact and recharge as fast as that, isn't the best of the game.
If you don't believe me, then just imagine why devs made it that way and you will remember what type of damage it does...

Semantics.

The only true 'nukes' if you're being picky, are the nuclear warheads from Warburg.

Blaster Tier 9 Primary Pool attacks are commonly referred to as 'Nukes', hence my use of the term :P

It does a bucketload of lethal damage. (which frankly, is not a handicap)

It can be fired every 30 seconds.

It can be fired *without* you being stood in the midst of the enemies you're perforating, and come to that, it can be fired without you having direct line of sight to the target point.

It can be immediately followed up (without having to pop a blue pill) by Explosive arrow and Fistful of arrows, all of which are fired from range, once you get LoS to a target, assuming you fired the initial Rain from around a corner.

It doesn't root you in place while the damage is being applied, like Full Auto.

You don't stand there panting, looking for a blue pill, while the +3 Freak Tank that survived the blast rips your face off.

It's all personal opinion, but I'm not seeing any points to mitigate against it.

Yellow card here!
Who is against it?

We just telling that isn't the best, not that we are against it!
Might be second to best... Try Blizzard for the best!

I now have both. On different blasters, obviously .


�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.

Progress report.

Striga finished.

Kelly Nemmers arc done.

Most of my lot ended up somewhere about the lvl 31 area, apart from Majikman, who was being SK'd.

Aerial got to 32 and got the Idiot Lobotomised Knockback Happy Blaster Pet. A fact I'm not yet sure whether I'm happy about or not :P

A little slow starting, and my brain wasn't firing on all cylinders last night either, but still not a bad night.

This Sunday, Respec 1. Gather in IP for 7pm

Thanks for the update. Sorry I had to leave early, had to smash some fake nems!
Will endeavour to finish of Nemmers this week.

Will be there for respec,althoughwont we be getting XP for the respec? Could take us thoretically close to lvl 34?


 

Posted

Maybe the Hess TF (25-30) is a better choice for this weekend, Canine?

---

My team all ended up lvl 30-31, I believe, aside from our sidekick Repentant. We finished Skipper and are up to Nemmer's final mission, the Eternal (Crab) Battle.

The meeting point for next week will be Croatoa university courtyard. That probably won't take all night, so we may need other things to occupy us. Ouroboros intro arc perhaps?

If we finish Croatoa before lvl 35 (and more new contents), perhaps the respec trial will be on the cards for the week after?

And I could have sworn I'd posted a reply mentioning all that.

Appears not to have taken.

Buck Salinger's arc can take a while. There are a few nasty missions in there.

Regarding Sunday. I realised after posting that the respec's 24-33, so some xp would be gained, so in the post that vanished I mentioned the options of either Moonfire to get people who are missing them Silver Bullet and Slayer, as well as the badge and recipe, or Hess.

We'll see how many people there are on Sunday.

I remember when you teamed with us before and Echo said it was fine for you to join us. Just check the thread on a Monday and turn up at the meeting point at 7pm and we pick teams. Give me a shout on @Blind Minotaur and i'll invite you to the Global Channel.


 

Posted

Yup please do come along! We've averaged a pretty solid 3 teams of 6-7 memebrs each the past couple of weeks, so there's a little bit of room there for people who want to join in.

Yes Echo nuff props for the 'behind the scenes' mate

Task Force Charade

No GM this week, mainly because there isn't one on Striga. Boo.

Moonfire next week, and by the week after, people should be into the range to exemp down to Respec #1.

Sunday evening reminder time. Tomorrow evening, 7pm, Croatoa University Courtyard.

There's Buck Salinger's arc to do, the Talos Safeguard, and any Rikti invasions that occur to be repulsed with extreme prejudice.
