Weekly Fire/Rad Goodness!

Rats!

I guess Labor Day screwed up my sense of time. For some reason i thought that the fire rad goodness night was tonight; and I was mid task force when hyper sent me a tell asking if i was going to make it.

Sorry that I missed out on an always fun goodness night

Has an extra day been decided upon yet? I missed this Monday, as I was just too tired from work.

Also, has there been any thought to having all the F/Rads in a single SG? It would make teaming and planning of tfs easier, I would think.

Okay, it's roughly 9 Eastern and nobody's here today (yet...I hope).

Anyhoo, a couple people have asked about another day (either moving it to, or in addition to).

How would Friday be for you guys? If it's an additional day, we could also afford to start earlier so that we can get stuff knocked out and still have playtime available to east coasters.

Maybe Friday, 7 PM Eastern and going until people get sick of it?

Friday wouldn't be good for me - too many after school commitments for the kids .

Have updated the originating post to reflect the new Friday date.

Another crazy night at Fire/Rads.

We had a small turnout tonight, so we decided to go work on accolades in Croatoa for a bit. Pumpkin Master/Mistress, Bane of Danan, Bewitched, Cap Buster. All of them, TOAST! Then, for laughs, we ran a Katie. As we were only 5, we picked up an enterprising blaster and made our way to the TF.
Dear LORD! Mary MacComber never knew what hit her! She and her spawns kept coming in on top of us. Cue much choking and burning. The knockback was a bit of an issue (she was overcoming my single knockback IO too), and a few deaths were had, but we never team wiped and just marched on through the spawns to Ten Times The Victor. Heck, there was barely any endurance drain going on.

The second mission, we probably should have just reverted to standard Fire/Rad practice and marched through, cooking everything in our path. We decided to stealth it, and it took somewhat longer.

The kill-all was straightforward. Stun, cage, choke kill.

On the last, we were hampered by the fact that Katie's soul won't fly out with you anymore and the fact that she was aggroing on EVERYTHING. So it kinda turned into a kill all. In the end, the blaster was lamenting that he hadn't brought HIS Psi/Rad instead. He also, unfortunately, bailed from the team before we could get a screenshot with him in it.

Afterward, a few people still needed progress on their badges, so it was back to cooking ghosts and Fir Bolg for a bit.

All in all a VERY productive night. With exploration badges from Talos and Croatoa, I picked up something like 20 badges.

Vortex Core made level 45 during the TF.
Warmly Yours made level 38.

Of the Fire/Radders tonight, we were:

• Zero Decay
• Vortex Core
• Warmly Yours
• Hot.Stuff
• Greased Wheels

Congratz on the levels and badges!

Sorry about the lateness of the post for Monday's event guys. Busy busy busy!



We had another great turnout this week! We started off by trouncing those despicable ner-do-wells Eochai and Jack in Irons. Unfortunately, due to the amount of time they'd been fighting, only some people got badges. We'll try again for a Monster Mash sometime in the future. Make sure EVERYONE gets them.

We then proceeded on to go open a can on Hro'Dtoz in the RWZ. I'd been trying to spank him earlier in the day solo and couldn't get him down below 25% before he'd spank me.

So I upped the diff and brought friends.

Bye bye big Rikti guy!

We then proceeded on to Unai Kemen. We opted to take the Pantheon Masks mish twice as we're not just working towards max merits, we're also working on accolades.

While it was a shorter night, we called it early.

I'd like to thank everyone who showed, and I'll see you guys on Friday!

Okay! A quick night tonight. We had 4 people there at 9PM and had a couple more straggle in a bit late (traffic sucks sometimes).

Because of this, we opted to get Warmly Yours her Midnighter badge. Meaning we got to run the mish at level 48/49.

Poor Rikti never knew what him them!

We even managed to get though the Lady Jane mission without getting her killed!

*FAINT*THUD!*

Then, about this time, I had a client call (still have him yakking in my ear now) because I forgot to pull his temp extension off our phone system...



As such, I had to call the night early. Sorry to the people who didn't get to play longer. I'll make it up to you guys. More Firey-Raddy goodness coming soon!

I made a fire/rad to run with you guys, if your offer is still good, Hyper. Will catch ya next Monday.

Edit: Obviously, his level is quite low (If you consider level 1 low ), I don't know if that will be a problem?

Just an FYI people.

Fire/Rads is TONIGHT!

Be there, or be square.

And yeah SD, we take anyone who wants to show up sporting a Fire/Rad.

Great run tonight. We had a couple new (to us) players on board and we wound up just completely wiping five tip missions in under an hour.

After that we gave GM hunting a quick stab. Jurassik was the first to feel our fulsome fusillade of firey fury. Cue one smoking pile of rubble!

Then, after a bit more searching, we caught Babbage hiding in a corner in Boomtown. Wierded us the hell out though. After a couple whacks, he launched for orbit! No, seriously, there was this HUGE leap and he was up on top of the nearby building! We're sitting there going ????????

Finally he got his cojones back and stopped hiding from us. We then proceeded to rambunctiously rout his rage whilst rising to ridiculous regions of radness.

And now that I have all that aliteration out of the way, I bid you good night!

Tonight's participants.

• Vortex Core

Sorry I missed last Monday, I am *really* hoping to make it tonight.

Another "EVERYTHING DIES!" night tonight at Fire/Rads!

First thing, we hit the Halloween tip mission. Just burnt our way through it, ate the ambushes, belched, then screamed for more!

Since we were still hungry, we went in search of some char-broiled GM. Out to PI and first thing we did was put down Eochai then Jack immediately afterwards. Jack's spawns seem to have been "fixed" this year as he's showing up MUCH more dependably this year than previously.

Then we settled down for a bit more ToT. Death on a flaming stick!

A few more people picked up the Halloween tip and we ran them. First, again at 50. Weird thing was, we had to enter the mish THROUGH the light beam inside AE!

Then one of our other players got the mish in the 30's. It was a bit more difficult, but nothing we couldn't handle.

At that time, I had to call it. But we got a lot accomplished tonight.

• Badges: ACQUIRED
• Merits: ACQUIRED
• Costumes: ACQUIRED

Heads up guys and gals.

This is tonight!

9PM Eastern on The Hill in Talos!

Yup. Another successful ITF for the Fire/Rads.

Six Fire/Rads, a Stone brute, and a Rad/Kin Corrupter.

If our brute had been going any faster, he'd have impacted on Paris and caused widespread devastation.

First mish, instead of going up the back way, I decided to fight up the hill. The Nictus ambush kinda whacked everyone but our brute. But, from the SB and 6 AM's he was moving fast enough to sprint across the area with Solaris in tow. Mission successful.

Second mission, we again just marched through, killing everything in our way. Had a couple deaths due to explody cysts. But no big deal.

Third mission. We fought our way up the hill. A little lag, but nothing severe. We got to the console and proceeded to WHUP ITS ELECTRONIC HINEY! The first wave of Romulus Phalanx died with nary a whimper. Most of the second did as well. And while the third tossed us around some, we got through without a death. We then pulled both the AVs and put the flaming hammer down on them.

Final mission. We just marched up, cleared everything in front of Rommy, and then me unfortunately fat-fingering "follow" while targeted to Romulus started the assault. We had one death at this phase. We just locked debuffs on and cooked him through the nictus healing. We killed him once, then got him down halfway before he regenned up. We locked in on him again and cooked him down again. The final couple times were just adding insult to injury.

In closing, while not the fastest ITF (we weren't trying for a "speed run"), we got it done in a respectable hour and seventeen minutes. Our brute's only lament was that we were killing stuff so fast he couldn't build fury.

I'd like to thank all the people who ran with us last night.

Here's a pic of our group after smacking down Nightstar. And yeah, at +3 she was PAINFUL. Mostly because she had not one, not two, but THREE Warwalkers sitting right next to her position. Trying to take them out at even-level could be a pain in the buttocks. Trying to take them out at +3? Well, she's dead and Team Atomic BBQ is standing there for the splefty photo op.

So NYAH!

Great stuff! I know I had fun the last few times I ran with you all. I'll have to try to get over there a bit more.

Twas great fun. And yeah - ever since the little minions at home started up school this year it's been harder and harder to make it. But well worth the effort!

Sorry about the lateness of the post. Getting continually sidetracked here.

Okay! Another nice, kill-em-all run of Fire/Rads!

We ran several Alignment missions to start off the night. We then decided to put the smack down on a few more Praetorians.

Black Swan...goosed. Then we made Mother Mayhem scream for mommy.

All in all a very nice run tonight.

All righty then!

I've been getting a bit lax with the updates here.

My bad!

Anyhoo, we had a HELL of a productive night last night.

A few new faces, which are always welcome.

We had a request for a Synapse, but had a player unable to play it. So we did the next best thing.

Did a Posi1 THEN a Synapse!

People were leveling all over the place. It was most disconcerting!

I believe our lowbie player started at 12 and finished in the neighborhood of 20...

Now the Synapse took a bit longer than planned (we always seem to wind up in "kill em all, and scrub the walls" mode...). Stealth just ain't our bag...

Of COURSE everyone got Gearsmasher.

Posi 1:

We had an awesome run last night. And I was exceptionally blessed with a couple of very nice recipe drops, and lots of shards for all our incarnates.

Now that Issue 19.5 is live, maybe, if we have enough 45+ we can run an STF? Don't know if we'd have enough FRads for a team of 8 but I'm sure we can fill in the spots.

But it is a FRad night, so to be fair, if we have some lower level ones, let's stick to the normal routine - wouldn't want to leave anyone out.

Sorry to say, I'm unable to attend tonight. Stuck at work on an internet switchover from hell. Waiting on covad to get their *AHEM!* straight.

My apologies, guys. Posting this from my laptop, tethered to my phone.

Please take your time and figure out which villains are worthy of butt-kickery this week and do some kicking for me.

We ran a few casual Tip Missions, and ended with a Hero Morality mish. It was a good night for leveling, and I think all of us are now 35+. Would love to try an ITF next week, so make sure you can access the Midnighter's Club if you wish to join. For those that can't commit to the time or are not high enough in level we can see about arranging a second grouping.

got anything going on tonight Hyper? I have a patron arc to get to around 10est, i would like to run with the Frads again
