The shameful void of villainside Trick or Treating

Absolutely no Trick-or-Treating being done in Grandville. or any other CoV zones.

Shame. SHAME!

I know full well there are forum lurkers here with Villains in dire need of a) badges, b) banners, c) costume salvage, and d) rocks.

I formally request that we get all-day Thursday people working their Villainous natures and rocking the Rogue Isles until the vampire cows come home.

I want to see up to 3 spawns of Grandville zones.

I want banners destroyed every hour on the hour.

I want a cookie.

I want Statesman's helmet on a pike outside the Centauri Emperor's palace as a warning to the next ten generations that Nerfing powers come at too high a price. >.> <.< Yeah, you heard me.

Join us AND DIE! shall be the watchword of the day.

Thursday. If I don't see at least 120 people in Grandville by 2 pm EST, I will begin yodeling and call forth Wormsign the likes of which would shatter the whole of Arrakis!

I got on 8-person team Friday and Saturday in Grandville, with Shotty Mario and a few other notables. We ToTed for about 1.5 hours, took down banners and the GM as well.

Champ has always had a lower redside pop, but you can get this done with some planning.

Trick or treating redside is much easier and more productive in the Rikti War Zone than Grandville.

Can I bring my video camera to record the yodeling and watch the shattering?

I predict that this is the only thing you will get. And it will be a stale girl scout cookie sold two years ago. Don't eat it. Mako touched it.

Sad to say, but for me at least there's little point to it- for me at least. I play mainly villainside on Champ, and have since I could. As such, The base is chock full of event salvage, (120 of 30. ) and the badges are had by all to whom they are relevant. I suspect this is not wholly limited to redsides, either. Compared to when ToT'ing was introduced, the number participating has seemed lower and lower as years go on.

...And honestly, it's easy to see why. The only reason to trick or treat is for badges and salvage. The enemies are none too new, and the experience of clicking, fighting, clicking, has little variety. The temp costumes are fun, though.

Having a lowered number of folks around simply exasperates the issue.

well I guess its a good thing I have to work thursday.

This last weekend we took down a banner and then went and did the Silver Mantis SF. So it does go on.

This proves how little Champion plays villside. Go down to the warehouses (best ToT'ing spot) and there is almost always a team there for great xp!

Just curious though, where is a good spot in RWZ for ToT'ing so I can get some cross faction action goin on?

I'll turn up Thursday for the second tot wave after 9 PST. Been working on blue side all weeks so far and still don't have banners for several characters.

Depends on your (team) level.
The best 50 spot is the area near the Vanguard base where you go when the shield comes back up. Lots of intact buildings, but the local spawns are 49+.

If you are closer to 40, south of the Vanguard base past AE building is prime. Intact warehouses with lots of doors as well. Easy to traverse with L35-42 spawns in the area.

The area in the middle around and past the mothership is too broken up (not many doors) and the spawns can be brutal in the area (50-54 with Assualt Suits and the occasional Priest).

If you go straight out from the vanguard base, there's a building with three sets of doors (which is actually six separate doors). Nothing but low level crey or Rikti there. I went there with my Crab the other day and there wasn't anyone there but me.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
