Given that most folks at that range are frolicking off in Evil Goatee Land that'd be a bit lame IMO. Plus there's plenty to do currently with Steel, Skyway and Faultline in that range (assuming it stays at that range, which given Apexes shouting looks to be the case).

Now a Dark Astoria make-over? That'd I'd love to see.

Man if it is cross server teaming, I look forward to all the threads about how people from servers other than the thread OP's are all idiots.

Not trying to be a "Debbie downer" but peeps are really intrested in cross server teaming restricted to one zone? I could see being pumped about being able to log any toon in on any server! Now i guess this could be the first step in implementing a cross server play all zones all toons...so it could be a good thing.

Also goldfish punching sounds awesome...pic's or it didnt happen

lol. Well I'm not restricting it to one zone, just that's the hint an such. I mean the LFG button did make it Live in the Menu, so they gotta have some plan.

Now if you'll excuse me *gets boxing gloves*

Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.

so true...i'd dig it though so i could play my "exiled" toons that are no longer on my home server.

O wait if it is cross server teaming then I could yell at peeps from other servers in broadcast "get off my lawn you hippie kids"

Cell shading. I'm calling it.*

No longer limited to a team size of 8?

But seriously I'm still staying it's the War Witch task force.

Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

Can't imagine they'd consider larger team size a crowd pleaser considering how often people ***** about not being able to find a team at all.

Pretty sure this is all about adding Apex to the game in some fashion. Trainer? TF contact?

Wow...lets hope there is more to the story than that...another TF

Wouldn't cross-server teaming be tantamount to a server merge?

Positron and Valkyrie are visible in the background to the right, so that is Steel Canyon in that panel.

But I still think and hope it is a Boomtown revamp with Apex Task Force.

Tantamount to merging all the servers into one, yes.

Tantamount to the common usage of "merge all the smaller servers so they're all as busy as Freedom and Virtue" no.

Cross server teaming would be nice, and fantastic if it can be done, but it's not necessary to implement a auto-teaming function.
True, but it would be nice (not getting my hopes up) for those times when youre home server is showing 1 person in Grandville, yet you know there are many more folks in the Grandvilles of other servers, and you wished you could team with those folks.

Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!

Cross-server teaming sounds a lot like I'll be seeing @Neuronia-Champion or something, if so...sounds worrisome. They have made it work with the Markets though...

Hmm...

Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes

"restored boo"-... >_<

That's STEEL CANYON. You can tell by the Statue's Boot!

..I know that sounds like a joke but that's totally the statue in Blyde Square.

Anyway, i'm thinking it has to do with the return of the comic, and/or Ajax finally coming into the game. I dunno where you morons are getting "cross server teaming" from when the guy is simply yelling out over broadcast >_>

-STEELE =)


Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

And a quick look through the comic shows no references to Boomtown either

I think the people on the cover are the clue, not the scenery

His sword is strapped to his back... Back details?

Ajax started out a Tank but by the end of the comic he was a scrapper. Obvioulsy it is full AT respecs. 8p

Now I know what your saying, "BT they said they would never do this" to which i respond "Yes that's why this is a joke post"

If it's a return of the old free comic perk, then it's awesomesauce with a side of win. I enjoyed that and it was the most unique perk any MMO has ever done I think.

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
