I may be late tomorrow night. Just got an HDTV this weekend and called to upgrade my satellite receiver on Sunday, well according to the email I got it should be here tomorrow so I'll just HAVE to set that up as soon as it comes and it takes awhile. Will be on ASAP.

We should do Speedens to kick the night off. They only take 10 minutes, so no one is getting locked out, and hey, Notice of the Well!

Or, I dunno, a regular run that takes about 5 min longer

Still need to do an STF. Maybe a LGTF. And a good ole ITF. At 50. Tired of not using my Alpha

Do what I do: convert Astrals on your Raid toons so your n00b 50s can build what they need!

Wait... can't you use your Alpha on any level 50 content? I didn't think it was just lvl 50 TFs...

I've been exemp'd the entirety of this Iso run (and no, I haven't played outside Isos. I'm just a better manipulator than you ). That hadn't changed the last 2 weeks when I already had an alpha slot.

Pretty sure the contact stuff has been done enough the last few weeks between Iso and my other new guys to last me quite some time. I haven't done too many TFs lately.

Recap: I'd like to play @ 50, to use my Alpha+ stuff, doing TFs I haven't done in awhile.

Scratch that, won't be on at all tonight. In fact won't even be turning on my gaming PC (grr) 'cause now I have to run my "new" LED TV back to the store 'cause I already have a few burnt out pixels (few pixels in just four days, how much more will go bad/wrong in the 4-5 years I play on the TV lasting me). If by some miracle I'm home and have everything set up before Isos is done for the night I'll hop on but don't count on it.

That was some good Isos last night.

Jerkface still managed to keep me exemp'd for a good part of the night

2 - 3 more sessions of this run?

Sounds good to me. I still need some AVs for Portal Jockey, plus lots of shards of course.

Nice. He finally got to you too, huh?

I'm still in the 40's but hate the toon so much I'm ready to just delete and start another run.

Have any of the other Beamers noticed endurance issues this run? Maybe it's because Time is always buffing my recharge, but last night on an ITF I was running out of end like crazy. I went with the Spiritual Alpha, so I'm swapping out recharges in my attacks for end red, but this isn't something I normally have to do...

It seems pretty end heavy; especially if you use Overcharge 1 - 2 times per group whenever possible I'm enjoying the Vigor alpha lately, on a number of guys, including my beamer. A pretty decent respec helped the end use, but the Alpha turned it into a complete non issue. Not sure what I'll do for a Destiny still on her; maybe I'll grief teams like Patient does with the Incandescent

So, are we going to continue on with the current ISOs, or start another run? Red or Blue side?


-Victory-

I checked out Vigor and the heal buff is nice, but it doesn't address many other areas except for the end red. I'm going to stick with Spiritual and see if I can shore up my recovery with set bonuses.

Bone, I think next week will be the last week for this run, but I'm not sure if we're going Blue or Red. I did hear something about an "All First Ward" format, though.

I dunno... my Beam Blaster seems to be evening out for end use now that he has two thunderstrike sets and a Posi slotted, though he does have 2 end mods in Stamina and a Performance Shifter +end as well. He's still in the late 20s, though.

Still, I would agree that it seems like a more end intensive blast set than others.

I'd be up for one more run with this round of Isos. Wouldn't mind doing at least one of the incarnate TFs to get more shards and a component... wouldn't think Dr. K or ITF would be too hard to fit in, even if we waited a bit to start and only teamed up those that wanted to do it/had time.

Problem with TF's is damn late comers... I figure we'll do one, maybe two more sessions then switch over.

My beams/dev was horrible on endurance. Could barely run sprint/combat jumping/targetting drone, much less additional toggles. I went cardiac, added a couple more toggles too.

Either vote or mandate about next session being redside or not; I'll need time to switch over a lowish level troller if so.

My 2 inf.

I'm kinda meh about red side. In all honesty, I haven't run a red side toon up outside of Iso's in maybe two years. Maybe longer. Not sure about that. I just lost interest. But it's not a show stopper.

First Ward on the other hand, I don't care for that place. Particularly on teams. It's pita to keep sync'd, I tend to lag a bit (I know, noone's problem but mine. However, it does greatly reduce my desire to be there.), and it's not like the missions are going to change for red side.

Regardless. If this week is going to be the last week for this session, I would propose we take next week off to determine what we are going to choose. It would give people time to decide what they are going to make (I know I have no idea at this point) and a chance for us to advertise to get some new victims,... errr people!

If we decide to not skip a week, we need to make a decision pronto and start advertising now. Red side is somewhat of a harder sell than blue on this server. (Well, most of the servers...)


Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.

Sounds like another vote for the All First Ward format!

Actually, one reason I prefer Blueside a lot over Redside.
Atlas/Portal Jockey can usually be picked without many issues, but I don't think I've ever got Marshal/Born in Battle.
