SINISTER Wednesdays

Tongiht we started a little bit late as the Eden Trial I was on went for longer than expected.
A 2nd Treespec was formed around 8:45 and off and running by 8:55.
Thanks to Ariellah, Lupur, Indice, Hard and Sintrix for coming along for the ride.

Total time was just over 29 mins which is really good in my book

I find the 14 Merits to be... quite poor to be honest considering a 2nd Hero Respec can be EASILY soloed (much easier than a Treespec) and you get 20 mertis (for 2nd and 3rd, with 24 merits for the First).

I then wasnt feeling well so called it a night but Lupur took over (he pinged to level 50 during the respec) and went to GV.

Sorry I had to bail all.

-----------
Next week Ill see if we have enough ppl to do a LRSF (45-50). This can be tough (duh) and there are a lot of recommendations that Temp powers Like Shivans and Chemical Burn be obtained and used. Level 50s are best but if we have enough 50's someone (or two) may be able to bring something lower.

I forgot to mention that we had 1x Hunstman, 1x Scrapper and 4x Brutes

Hi all,
how do people feel about runing a LRSF tonight (45+)?
It requries a full 8 person team and Temp Powers like Shivans are appreciated.
Full details can be found here.


If we cant get a full 8 person team for this would an NON SPEED RUN ITF float your boat?

Boat Floating a little towards the non speed run ITF... but at what level???

Unfortunately I only have the one Villain @50 and nothing much else - not in the range you're talking. I have a handful of toons I really dont like between 25-40 that need respecs or deleting

Otherwise some better options might be the go haha...

Depending on what level you're running the boat floating ITF, we might be able to get somewhere


Ari

Plant and I will run our level 50 Dom and Brute for the LRTF (and most likely for the ITF as well).

As long as you meet the min level requirement for the ITF (35+) bring whatever.

However if Plant wants to run a Stair Case ITF.... well you may get some death/debt badges
- we all might lol

Start time is the normal 8:30pm so you may have time to respec your level 35/45+ toons before then.

Hello, everyone! You're talking to the Plant!

Wednesday, we brought our mightest of villains (and a fallen hero! Villainy rulez!!) and decided that Statesman and his merry men were getting too big for their britches. Time to bring the smacketh down on their heroic arses! <Ahem>
Right. We formed our LRSF team inside of 20 minutes, and while we did take some punishement from our team composition - more on that afterwards - we tore Statesman a new one.

Kudos to

Sa'Kage
Wall of Indice
Mr. Thistle
Lup - Sol
Sintrax
Hard Night
Lorien's Curse

for thier combined effort - we held down HALF of the final bosses simultaneously! Not a bad job, given that we had 3 doms, 2 brutes, a corruptor, an Arachnos soldier and a defender!

Keep watching for further details!

Hi all,
for tonights SINISTER Event im assuming there is no i19 update at this stage.
However just in case the dev's decide to drop a Wednesday Update on us lets do something that does not lock us in.

PUG!!!!!!!!

Where: RWZ
When: 8:30pm EDST
When the team forms if someone(s) have not yet got the Vanguard badge we will do those missions first so everyone can get the Vanguard Merits then start off on some random RWZ missions.

Bring whichever toons you want. Difficulty will depend on who brings what.

Tonights RWZ PuG started off strong with first a 5 then 8 member team tearing the Rikti a new one.
This dropped to 5 but after a mission reset all was good.

Missions were run at +0/x1 (default) to keep things easy and fast moving.

Next week will depend on i19. Im hearing too many different theories so will play it by ear.
IF i19 is out by then then im sure unlocking the Alpha-Slot will be high on the agenda so level 50's prepare
If not we will look at doing some random AE Arcs (no not that Rikti Monkey arc) for some XP and Tickets (and random foes).
If you have an AE arc you like feel free to say the number and we will ive it a run (see above )

I will finally have a few minutes to sit down and edit my AE arcs this upcoming holiday Tuesday. IF I19 is not ready for Wednesday, may I humbly suggest that we try one of my arcs? They have been test-run by groups before, and I'd love to get opinions of what the updated arcs are like.

Of course, if I19 is ready for Wednesday, Plantatia will be running full tilt for her Alpha slot!

Yeah it appears i19 wont be out until week after next (like Minotaur said) so AE it is

Its been a while since ive done some serious AE runs and not having to run around the place will be good for a change.

We can definately give Plants AE Arcs a run and see what else comes up.

IF anyone else has an Arc or wants to try creating one before hand please let us know and we will give them a go.

Hi all,
well we started the night by taking on DeathSurge who appeared in front of the Cap AE building just for us

After a false start (3 Brutes and a Bane dont have enough (any?) debuff) we got a full team (5 Brutes, Bane, Crab and a DEFENDER [with RAD - wooohooo]) we kicked Deathsurge's charged behind in approx 45 seconds (wasnt timed but two of us discussed and it appeared to be around that time ). It was a serious case of "WTF? Did someone pull the power plug?".

Anyways...

After this some had to leave so we got back down to 5.

So then onto the AE and we started by running Ariellah's 2 story arc which requires the killing of all bosses before the glowie can be clicked. After a non-optimal start (silly Dom [me] ran in with confuse and got spanked) we got a roll on and with Speed Boost we were running from mob to mob with zero wait in between.

We got half way through Ariellahs 2nd mish before we exited to invite 2 more and started on Plantatia's "X8: Ohh Canada" arc. Spoiler: This arc NEEDS a team, with a leader at least level 41. Expect deaths.
So yeah - the above says it all

By the end of the 2nd mish of Plants 2 story arc it was 11pm and bed time for most of us.

Thanks to Hard, Planatia, Ariellah, Minotaur (been too long mate), Soliton Wave III (I think thats the name), Grgic (I/II).

If I forgot anyone (or got their names wrong) let me know and I will fix

-----------------------

Next Week
Im starting to feel a bit of burn out creeping in so am expecting to take some time off for a week or two.
As such I wont be running anything next week (and maybe the week after).
I MAY be on occationally (got the shakes man) but no guarantee's and not to run anything.

Hello, everyone You're talking to the Plant!

And where one falls, another rises to the challenge!

Barring the sudden appearance of I19, I'm calling out!!!

Rikti Mothership Run!

Bring the good stuff!

Hello, everyone! You're talking to the plant!

Well, last week was the beginning of I19, and everyone went everywhere getting their incarnate slots opened.

So, this week , we ran an ITF, with the intended and stated goal of getting stuff for incarnates, but also xp for those who wanted/needed it. It is with great pleasure that , with a set limit of one hour and NOT doing a speed run with 3 tanks, the team of

Mithral Warrior
Hawt Tawdee
Neeenja
Prince BY-TOR
Billy (*Author's note - this game has been going on for 6 years plus, and NOBODY took this name? Really??)
Miss Calculation
hard 2 start

and Plantatia (not pylon) proceeded to non-stop grind their way through all comers, and acquired no less (as a team) than 3 purples on the TF! (Plus, I 'm not sure how many of us got their first alpha slot filled). A SECOND ITF was run by Randomice as well - we got the numbers, hear us roar!

After that, a few others decided they would like their alpha slot opened, so

Lorien's Curse
Ashiegh Burn
Arancae Sicarius
Lactrodectus Mactans

ran the arc, and the 3 that needed their alpha slot opened, opened it. Not bad for one night!

Next week, I'm thinking Tinmage teams.

Reminder:

Tomorrow we will be running a Tin Mage TF which requires you to have your Alpha Unlocked AND slotted.
For more details see here.

Note the requirements for some of the badges (click 8 glowies within 30 seconds, do not trip any proximity mines, etc).
While badges are not everyones main focus getting the 4 extra badges grants the Master Of badge (instead of the usual DONT DIE requirement ).

Hi there! You're talking to the plant!

On Wednesday, we ran a Tin Mage TF - with nobody on the TF having prior experience. This proved to be a valuable learning experience for all of us - we learned that death is an important part of life, that proximity charges are REALLY REALLY annoying, and that we can do the TF in about 80 minutes and get all but one badge for the master run!

I would REALLY REALLY like to thank

Mr. Thistle
Sa'Kage
Show Me The Money
Radius Prime
Hawt Tahdee
Kohort
Emapthological

for such a fantastic run!

Next week, I will NOT be available for the event, as I will be at the staff year-end party. And I will not likely be on the week after that, seeing as I will be in Sapporo, and not likely to have a good computer connection. So good luck to all of you, merry Xmas and I'll see you on New Year's Day!!

Hello, everyone! You're talking to the plant!

Well, I know this is late, but last week we put together a nice team, and did a nice run. I apologize for not remembering WHAT, but we did it (I think it was a LGTF - feel free to correct me).

I'd like to thank

Miss Mecind
Tharion
Incendiary Chick
Horyu Masako
Pharmaceutical
Ramjet
Kyth's Hero

for their participation.

I'll get back on top of this, I swear!

If Tharion was involved it wasnt a LGTF (he is level ~30).
I THINK it was a Posi 1/2 - in fact im almost certain as I remember thinking "but its Wednesday which is a Villain night..."

Thanks for reminding me...

As for the previous Wednesday, check out the ITF thread.

Long time since the last update and for that I appologise.

Last night we ran the Renault TF (WST).
We failed on the first mission twice in a row (shame) as we allowed Barracuda to die (we were running it at +3).

After that we were able to complete the TF and get the WST rewards (my Rad/Rad Corr got 3 levels out of it - WOOOHOOOO).

Thanks to all who attended and Randomice for forming and running the TF.

Hi all,
last night Plantatia and I ran the Virgil Tarikoss SF from Cap (level 15-20).
Took us 1hr 19 so no speed records but it was the first time in a long time for many of us.

The forming of the team took approx 50mins which is a long period of time. Hopefully future S/TF formations wont take as long.

Regards

Ran a Operative Renault last night and heres the screenie of the team took us 1hour and 15mins lol

Last night we took advantage of the dual-WST and ran 2 MortiKal (Villain) SF.
First run was a bit of a struggle at the end with Posi as we had no debuff and his Cleansing Flames (imps) were surviving too long and healing him but eventually our teamwork improved and we took Posi down.
Time was just under an hour.
Team A:


We then ran ti again but with a much larger team and Posi was knocked out so fast he didnt even get to summon his Imps once.
Time taken was approx 33mins.
Team B (sorry about the poor quality):

Nice pics Meta
