FNV - Friday Night Villainy
Hi guys/gals
Im running a 50 DM /SD scrapper G I M P under the global pigsta villain side VIP at the moment I would love to catch up with fellow Oceanics. I am on most nights Aussie time and I operate out of Darwin. If you see me on please drop me a tell.

This week we gained a new member to the Once and Future Kings, and discovered that some mysterious benefactor had made a large donation to our coffers to improve our base while powering up!
Hurray for mysterious benefactors!

As we have hit level 20, capes are now becoming a thing of fashion. While it is common for groups to have a universal outfit, it is not necessarily possible. Therefore, I am putting out a challenge to those members of the group to come up with a cape that male toons, and one for huge toons, once you hit 20. Feel free to post the rules for it here, and we'll follow them to the letter!
As for female toons:
Cape - Full Mantle - Brooch 19
Short Cape - Circuitry pattern
I WOULD ask that if you are using the cape (it IS optional, but preferred for in-mission use), that you activate VG colors for it. It'd just look nice if everyone had the same cape.
Thank you.

For my male toon, I have just gone with your choices, Plant. Except I made it a long cape.

This week we managed to stomp some serious mudholes in being that needed mudholes stomped!
(I apologize for the quality - I am at the tail end of 11 straight days of work and my mind is currently in a semi-mush state to remember exactly what we did.)

Sadly, this will be the last FNV report, as Once and Future Kings is becoming a standard mainstay in its place, with attendance numbers for the group warranting its permanent addition.
The new thread for Once and Future Kings will be on the main page, and I will copy several key thread items from here to there.
For the last time on this thread, we managed to:
1) Do SSA part one as a 4-being group (I'm not sure how many of us are actually human - write your backgrounds, gang!)
2) Get a member up to level 20 as a group
3) Fire off a 7-man Mortimer Kal, with 6 of the members (including a new VG member) being part of Once and Future Kings
4) Do several villain tips to help a higher toon who had joined us for the MortiKal (and boost our own levels - I won't lie)
in less than 3 hours.

for their participation and the successful Mortimer Kal (3 MMs, 2 Corrs, a Defender and a Stalker - and we STILL gave Positron a tushwhoopin' he'll never forget!).
Next week will be more fun. Members should meet in the VG base at the usual 6:30 starting time for a meeting. Those who wish to join us are more than welcome, even if you are not a member of the group.

Well, last night was an interesting challenge. After getting some real, on-line support from people in game (thank you, Skype!!), we figured out was wrong - the installer was trying to install in Japanese despite the fact I'm running English Win7!
So, while I was not able to play with the usual members of Once and Future Kings, I was able to test the new download and play-as-you-download system. With a slow limit of 300kB/s due to a shared apartment server, I was able to start character creation in 30 minutes, and only had to wait 10 minutes to get into zone events at each stage of download. I also managed to get the freshly-minted toon to level 9 solo in a total of 4 hours from no NCSoft Launcher!
So, I will give significant kudos to the new system, since I am sure that if I had higher speed options, I would have been playing much faster and without any waiting.
Also, I absolutely forgot that last weekend was the beginning of DST for parts of Australia. The time it starts for those in Australia does not change - 8:30pm ADST. It changes for ME, however, since I don't get that fancy daylight savings here in Japan. I'll have to not take my time so much on Fridays when I get home!
VILLAINY!!!!!!! Now in 64-bit ultra-mode!
