I love that city. BK (before kids) I use to go skiing up in Whistler. The drive along the ocean with mountains on one side is incredible.
Oh well, welcome back GP.

Did you guys get past the end? I was rather disappointed when my room clearing power only took out a few guys... it's not very helpful if it only takes out the target cap or whatever. Is that a new bug? I'll have to try it with you again sometime... that's a pretty fun SF, though I don't like having to find each of the four patrons in the last mission. I wouldn't want to fight all four at once, I suppose, but having to hunt for each on the map is kind of weird.
Penny, we actually went up to Whistler one day, though it's obviously not the same right now. A very beautiful drive, though. It was foggy and rainy, and we didn't get a good view of that huge waterfall on the way up (I forget the name), but it was sunny on the way back, and we saw it perfectly from the road-- amazing!
We didn't like how you had to pay through the nose to park anywhere in Vancouver (think it was about $2 for 30 minutes in some spots, and that was better than others), but it was great otherwise.

More retarded then weird. Not unexpected, we wiped on that room and fought our way back in. I'm told that the temp powers now have a target max of 16, which limits their effectiveness. |

And yeah, hunting down and leading in the AV's is a bit annoying. And retarded.

They just changed that encounter from interesting to tedious. Or tedious to more tedious, depending on your perspective.

I know some people intentionally trigger the ambushes then retreat, just because it's less pain in the rear.

Huh, that's kind of lame. I liked that they hit so many targets: it made the encounter unique and interesting, as MG said. I've always thought it was a better SF than Kahn because of that characteristic.
I would agree that triggering the ambushes and then retreating is probably the better option. Do they just trigger when you attack him for awhile? I didn't see anything else that would have triggered them last night.
*added*
MG, I hit the switch last night and thought it didn't even work, there were so many mobs still running around and hitting us. 16 is not a lot when all those ambushes come in.

Not sure if it's based on time or damaged done. Assuming time. My only complaint is the near requirement of having a mastermind. Really dislike forced team make up.

I bought a pair of boots today that retail for $189 for $75. I'm pleased.
...posting in your threads!
MG even saved his complaining about the Mutant Booster Pack for the main discussion section. 
Back after my month hiatus. Vancouver was nice and it was hard to come back. You all were boring... I checked in once in awhile and there was absolutely no drama for me to see!
See you in game, everyone.
