Maybe I'll be around for the next run. Maybe I'll just hibernate till spring.

Take care.
No need to feel so pressured. Just join in when you can and it's no biggie if you are behind. Even joining in for a little bit is nice. Sure, we jibe people for being late or leaving early, but that's all part of the group. We'd rather have you than not.

Agreed

1) You guys ever think she is being diplomatic instead of just coming right out and saying "I can't stand playing with Shamster anymore!!$#!@$@#%"

and/or

2) Nancy, they will probably need the extra body because Shamster is more than likely to kick me out yet again. Even though Jelly needs shards now.

Even though Shamster cheated last night with his Iso and did a Manticore, we should all do a Manticore tonight as well.

I say we delay the next Isos until the next new power set drops. Staff melee? We can't put this off until I22 so that rules out Dark Control.

Did everyone* hit 50 after I left last night?

No, because people wimped out.

Next week should be close to the finish.

Are we really ditching Redside for good?

Eternal Albert is 49, so it'd be nice to run at least one more week. I know I'm not the only one not 50 yet, either. Heck, we could even do some task forces or something since we have 50s if we want to draw things out a little more.

What do you mean by the redside thing, Mental? I was just saying in team chat that I'm not big on redside, other than its SFs, so I don't know that I would want to do a redside run with Isos again. It's okay once in awhile, but I get burnt out every week. I'm just not a villain. I did assume you all were up for redside again, though.

Probably don't want to wait on Staff Weapons, though... that's supposedly going to come out after I22 does, kind of like Street Justice, etc.

GP:
Could just Iso to 50 then bring the character blue side.

Ham mentioned it in SG chat on Wednesday. Personally, I'd like to go Redside again because I haven't done any of the new Mercy content, and as Ham mentioned you can always switch to Blue at 50.

Why wait till 50? Go Rogue at 20 and get access to blue side then. Come end of the iso run you can go full blue if you wanted to.

The answer to "not liking redside" is not to play through another Isos run over there with access to blueside. What you're suggesting is playing redside, and I really do not like the story arcs over there enough to play them as much as needed on an Isos run. Every redside run I end up playing just to play with you guys, and not having fun with the content, which is an issue. Gaming shouldn't feel like an obligation.

I'll definitely do the next blueside run, though.

I don't now. Go Go advanced computation and resourceful inventory manipulation! And with a respec, Pink Power is in full swing!

I'm sure we'll do at least one more, if not 2. We should do some of the better TFs as a group best we can for the fun of it.

RE: Redside vs Blueside. I really don't understand it; blue side has definitely been done to death, redside allows for slightly better syncing, and regardless of side, we blow through missions/arcs and I couldn't give you more than a brief summary of what the story was anyway. I refuse to do First Ward again, that's for damn sure.

Either way, whatever side, it'd be a troller. Before I22, it'll be a 20 something, after 22, it'll be a dark/time I think. But I won't be able to commit until I see a List that I'll ignore.

To echo Voo's comment, I also see content as irrelevant on an Isos run (but I would do First Ward again!). It's more about good teaming and whatever build I'm playing at the time. Content goes by in a blur, and even normally troublesome mobs aren't much of an issue.

That being said, if redside ruins your fun, then sit this one out GP.

For the next run, I might take an old Villain that's been languishing in the 20s and use them. I have a Dom and a Brute that would fit right in.

That's because, like most sessions/missions, you are afk leeching anyway, so it's not like you have to deal with most of the horrendous programming and planning on the Dev's part in the case of First Ward.

Hey, I was leading a team through the FW... it has its challenges, but I still find it to be a fun zone.

I'm with Voo on First Ward. It was ok when I ran it solo, but it just seemed like 3 weeks of headache for Isos.

Redside ... after last time, I would have been less than keen but having run through most of it solo since then it was the character, not the content, that was causing my problems.
So I'm up for more as soon as we declare this run complete. (Elec/Elec tank is current thinking, although I need to poke Mids to confirm that.)

Just a note on something I found the other day.... Jagged Alliance is being re-done and will be released 14 Febuary on steam. Should be available for pre order. http://www.jaggedalliance.com/en/

We need to find out if the First Ward arcs are better for red sized characters.
