Clash of the Titans
Just a quick word of thanks mate for getting this one together.
I had the titan coming up on that arc and saved it because I thought the SG might like to take on the titan, but you shaped that idea into something a bit more memorable
Only thing that scares me is just what the heck you're gonna come up with when mission editing is launched!!
Lol cheers bud, tbh im only doing what has been done before, I just want it on a larger scale, people are saying about lack of events...others have noted lack of challenges...and me?...well I just like doing anything that seems inherently stupid-yet marvellous from the outset
Plus its a chance to show the nay-sayers that our community spirit is far from dead...something I feel strongly about.
(ive had a fair few pms atm and this could shape up to be something memorable...just think of the screenies )

Heck, I'm game, when and where.
Well speaking to sal online the general agreement is that we want a zone low enough that we can get most players involved, but also need a space thats big enough to spawn them, add to the fact that I dont want this to ruin anyone else just "passing through" hence why I suggested perez lake, that or boomtown.
As for when, well that depends on how many people we can get to set up the arcs, (already set up war and Eros' this morning - and i know lightnia is ready too) once that is done I can announce a date, timewise im thinking of a saturday/sunday in the afternoon, but for this I need more feedback so we can gauge when is the best time for everyone to make it.
After that its a case of posting on MOTD of the various channels, and arranging with the mission holders where to set up, and we have a titan-fest to go nuts with.

Count me in sweetie although I'm nowhere near getting to the mish in Crimsons arc with Shanti
p.s Sunday afternoons are always good with me
No worries beks just turn up to the spawn area, so long as i can get even 3 more peeps with the crimson arc that will make ten at least, would love more but will go with what we can get.

Ok im a BIT confused, when i did the mission about roughly 2 months back he didnt spawn at all. Instead he just spawns inside a mission by itself. I got told that they stopped him spawning outside missions.
The tactic i used was like you said, get my m8 to complete it while me and everybody else was in PI waiting. When the mission finished we waited for roughly 20 minutes, no spawn Made me look like a complete fool so i'ld get clarification on it spawning in the wild and in what zones before the actual day Just trying to help in that i did something like this at halloween and didnt work out well for me when only 7 of us could get into the mission to take it down . . . . .
Edit: Ok VERY confused, judging from your post it was done recently . . . . . why didnt mine spawn and why did some people say it stopped spawning outside missions?
Edit2: Oh and yeah im soooo in this
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Well not sure why you never got him tbh mate, forst of all was it tehe "worldwide red" story arc?...and also was it the "stop wildflower agents" mission?..(number 9 and its a kill all with a npc to free at the end)
The other big thing is to remember that the "leader" is not the one who needs to be in the zone you want to spawn..but the mission holder. But to make yourself sure, always make the team leader the one with the mission
Kronos can be spawned where ever the mission holder is, as long as it is not in any of these zones:
Any PvP Zones
Any Hazard Zone but 'Eden'
Any Trial zone but "The Hive"
Galaxy City
Atlas Park
Pocket D
Ouroboros
So again not sure why it didnt work for you mate, but if youre up for trying again on a bigger scale?..well we are looking for this weekend now, should get enough peeps together.
PM me ingame @stryke mate, or just ask here, gonna start a list of who has the arcs set up and ready when im back from work tonight

I think one of higher heroes has Crimson as contact but remember which one.
I will check tonight and let you know.

I've participated on these gathering on Defiant and what usually happens there is the mission holder completes the mission, then TP's to PD to meet up. Once all are there, they exit into KR, where all toons can get into. The titans will then spawn in that zone.
Not sure if ouro works in the same way, but I'm guessing it may well do.
Stryke,
Just to let you know ive prep'd the mission 9 on Street cred but I can only get online after 7.30pm saturday, or 6pm sunday. Evenings may be better though as more chance of peeps being online.
Send me a tell to confirm!
It's a badge thing.......

Or the easier way is to have the mission holder leave the mission as it is, then all gather at the specified location, (its between kings or perez atm but kings is easier to access) then auto complete the mish..thats how we are doing it, its how we did it on sunday with just the three.
However anyone who needs the mission completing can get someone to complete for them, then have them TP over..
Cheers for the suggestion tho mate
And Sal ill make it between 7/7.30pm sunday, saturday eve is a no go for me atm.
So this thing is shaping up at the moment we have 6-7 mishes fully prepped and are waiting on more...so if you dont have the crimson worldwide red arc but still wanna bash a pack of titans, turn up this sunday at 7/7.30pm in front of Blue steel...will see you there hopefully chaps...again any questions PM me

Oh i better stop dropping missions then but anyways i don't have any chance to drop another mission 'till Friday i think.
On my case, well as we talked last night Psy-knight still have open arcs so i don't know if i can get started crimson arc.
Stalwart Apostle on the other hand have 1 yellow contact open so far. As he is still doing Indigo arc, i don't know if i can get Crimson as a contact from here without messing with another yellow contact. Still working on it...
Well considering the low response for mission holders in game, and that fact that only three have come forwards otside the sg..thanks to lightnia/salacious/knightly..
Ive decided this may have to be delayed not dropping it just holding back...we at union used to boast we have the best server but seems to me the event run for pure fun are becoming few and far between....... come on chaps its not about the grinding.
We have in my opinion one of the best, nay the best communities out there, we should be proving this on a regular basis.
So with that in mind I was hoping for a massive event to get the community buzzing - its what we need to be honest...but seems to be dwindling a little...which is a damn shame, maybe its the time of year, maybe its because folks are busy elsewhere, I hope so as I would hate to think our community spirit is on the decline.
Plus if Defiant can boast a total of nine with a lower Pop that says something about it.
{Big Edit
ok ive had a crappy two days which probably explains the rantyish nature....
sorry bout that ill still run the event with what we have at the time regardless it should still be fun for all who turn up and a massive thanks to the guys who got their arc going.
And as i said i will still offer any help to anyone needing the arc setting up
...but i still stand by what i said...}

"The box said Windows Vista or better - so I installed Linux"
I'd be up for it on my main. But he's in Torchwood, who you'd already mentioned as being involved, or else I'd have tried to reply sooner.
@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
Nah torchwood just helped by providing a titan for the last get together, and by all means any extra help is welcome - if we are looking to push for the ten spawn mark I will need a few more peeps to prep a mission from the arc.
As I have stated I know there will be a big turn out from people just wanting to fight them, its just getting the spawners that is tough, im up to around 6/7 at the moment..so looks like the date for this sunday is off, and considering the fact that the weekend after is Dxp then a safe bet would be the 31st/1st as a weekend slot...so there is plenty of time yet.
Any questions crag dont hesitate to pm me ingame @stryke and cheers for the extra offer.

"The box said Windows Vista or better - so I installed Linux"
If its not THIS weekend and most likely the 31st/1st then i can 100% help with a spawn. I got a character at lvl 41 atm and guarantee it'll be at least 46 and onto that arc by next weekend.
Can count me in as one of the spawns
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
I'm afraid news doesn't bright on my side.
Psy-knight. cleared old arcs in past few days also after left one arc open started to continue Crimson Arc. Now i don't know for certain but only yellow contact is in his list is Crimson and Crimson's contact progress bar filled without any arc given.
Stalwart Apostle also trying to reach Crimson but as both Psy and him are science heroes i think getting Crimson is more tricky. Indigo (According to Wikia) is one of the contacts that direct your hero to Crimson but instead she gave me someone named Agnus Dagnabit or something like that. If i recall correctly i recieved Crimson from an PI contact on Psy. Or simply it is because of his level (currently level 45 atm).
There are some solutions in my mind tho'. Some questions i have:
1- As Psy has Crimson as a contact can he get his arc from Ouroburos?
2- If I keep doing radio missions with Apostle is it possible for detective to direct him to Crimson?
Anyway as we have two weeks before us i will get Crimson Arc on Apostle on way or another.
PS: As a TF/Regular Team planner i can understand your frustration very well. Please don't let that shade your enjoyment from this event. Heh in worst scenario we can make a big Synapse TF event and fill Skyway with Babbages.
In answer to question one, "yes"

*makes his happy dance*
Well yesterday was quite busy for me, as I was helping a friend clear all his old missions so i could get the arc completed for him...so that adds another...will speak to sal today/tonight when I can get hold of him.
But in answer to damz, yes mate ive re-scheduled it, gonna make it the 1st of feb (sunday) this weekend is too close and the weekend after will be impossible to get folks together (dxp ) so with that in mind, and to give folks a chance to get set up.
Ok gonna start doing a call of who has the missions set and is in the process of it, and who is confirmed to be available
1 - (me) - ready
2 - Eros - ready
3 - Hephaestion - ready
4 - Adz - ready
5 - Knightly - wip
6 - Sal - ready
7 - Fulcrum - wip
8 - Lightnia - wip
9 - Biscuits - wip
10 - Judgement Dave - wip
11 - Damz - wip
12 - Saphi - ready/unconfirmed on the date
13 - Energy Shot - wip
14 - Rex - wip
Ok so far thats not a bad number, also Biscuits and dave mentioned they may have other friends with it, but with 14 its looking fine as it is, I wont sniff at more
So again anyone needing help with the arc, here is the mission/arc/contact
Contact - Crimson (peregrine isle can be given via indigo mainly or other contacts may push him forward...or can get him via papers/radios in PI)
Arc - Now this can be tricky, ok first I would check this link to ensure you are free of contacts that may block him from opening the arc.
Plus on that note, it seems that some of the new contacts seem to come under the same block as the RWZ contacts, which is annoying as they are in your list and classed as active even if you havnt even spoke to them, however percy winkly's arc is pitifully easy see here. And Daedalus isnt to hard either see here.
So once you have cleared your contacts be aware he may make you jump through hoops and allow his bar to fill before giving you the arc.
Missions- here is Crimsons list of missions now dont pay heed to the order in which they are...I had to do 6.1/6.7/6.2 before he opened the damned thing up
Ok so I hoped that helped and again looking forwards to the get together, and again...dont hesitate to pm me with any questions.
(oh and sal if you read this before I speak to you...any chance of a MOTD please bud)

I have indigo on a toon at the moment, working with Crimson on some stuff. Will see if I can get that through before the 1st, but work is hectic at the moment so no promises.

"The box said Windows Vista or better - so I installed Linux"
Ok so this came up in our SG team as we were finishing a bugged Sewer trial, how fun would it be to spawn a kronos titan alongside another GM? seeing as how they can be dropped easy with a good team, why not make a challenge and drop more?....So the chat went over to Sals badgehunters and we ended up having a get together in FF spawning 3 titans no less, with only 2 teams we took them down in rapid succession (thanks to Fulcrum/Dark/Torchwood for spawning them) here are some pics
Pic 1
Pic 2
Pic 3
Pic 4
Pic 5
Pic 6
Now upon completion I heard of a rumour that defiant boasted a much higher figure, which got me to thinking, what about a mass spawning of them?...im not talking small numbers either, I mean a real challenge...if a team of 2/3 not even full can drop 3 in a relatively small time, why not more?
So here is my suggestion;
First, location...it would have to be somewhere open and low level so my thought is the open water in Perez Park that way folks can gather from most levels.
Second, numbers... now this would have to be pre organised, and we have currently 6 folks in our sg with the arc ready to set up, which I will do this week, I know of Lightnia who has the arc ready too, so far that gives us seven titans...we need more.
Thirdly, prep... now this is fairly easy, those who have the arcs split and head for perez park now there are 2 options..auto complete the mission or if not possible, take a solo toon on your team and have them complete the mission for them, the important thing is for the mission holders to stay together in perez as the titans spawn on them not the guy in the mish.
Finally, execution... well this is even simpler, those who want in on the rumble will be notified either here or on union chat/sals badgehunters of the day/time this is to be done so as many people turn up as possible to take part in what will probably be the malta groups bankruptcy
Ok so thats my plan, last night had a fair few peeps show interest and hoping to make this a truly memorable event...any questions PM me in game @stryke or here.
Any help running this would be a bonus, ive got the sg missions covered with our other leaders but any extra assistance is welcome.
(finally to add, for those who dont know the mission you need is from Crimsons "world wide red" arc...mission is number 9 "stop wildflower agents")
So...any interest?
