Friday Night Firefights

I'm looking forward to "Cooking with Radiation" this coming Friday!

It looks like I will be missing tonights fire-rad goodness though

Hope there is a huge turnout! If any of you out there have not created a fire/radiation controller, you should give it a try this friday! It is a powerful power set and the group as a whole is very friendly and helpful!

Sign me up, I'm usually home by 5pm cst. I also dont have anything going on Fridays because most of the horde is busy with static teams.

Asbestos undies. CHECK!
Lighter fluid. CHECK!
Plutonium. CHECK!

See you tonight guys!

Disko Inferno and Burnaholic have been on the hill, but don't see anyone else. Did we get something wrong or is it just a slow night?

Big King, sorry about that. I was VERY late getting out of work tonight. (Sometimes I think I need to smack my gabby customers in the mouth sometimes. After five "Okay. Have a nice night. Bye!" attempts, they're STILL yacking!)

We actually got if off the ground at 7:30 tonight. I tried to shoot you a couple PMs but you must have been in the middle of logging when I did so.

We ran a series of tip missions and an alignment mission. Levels were falling from the sky!

We then tried to do a monster hunt. Fail. Couldn't find a single GM out there. I think someone tipped them off that we were coming and they bailed on us!

So back to a few more missions and we called it a night. We'll try to do a bit better next Friday.

I'll have pictures up in the morning. Just doing a fast update and falling over. LONG day today.

No problem at all, Hyper. I was just making sure I had the right day/time. I plan to catch you guys next week. Disko is a 50 from a FRad team long ago, but I may roll up a new one too.

thanks for the heads up I plan to respect my Frad and was looking for some ideas
this will come in handy

Level 44: Rock Armor -- RedFtn-Def(A), RedFtn-Def/EndRdx(45), RedFtn-Def/Rchg(45), RedFtn-Def/EndRdx/Rchg(45), RedFtn-EndRdx(46), LkGmblr-Rchg+(50)


Um....Hello? Fire! Not Rock. Rocks no go with Fire. Get the fire shield.

And, only because I don't know - can you use Vengeance with a fallen imp?

The reason for the rock armor over Fire shield is Defense vs Damage Resistance. Think of it as a charcoal briquette!

Sadly you can not use vengence on a fallen pet, I have always thought that you should be able to.

All-RIGHTY then!

A nice turnout tonight.

I got home pretty much EXACTLY on time and logged in to find a couple people waiting on me.

We filled the team up, mostly new faces again tonight, and headed off to do some work for a little gal, name of Maria Jenkins.

Now this was the first time I'd actually run the new MJ arc.

Suffice it to say we've found some Kryptonite for the Fire/Rad team (or at least one of mixed levels the way we were). Resistance. En entire room (INCLUDING A WARWALKER) cloaked with targeting drones out...

Unfun for just about any team. Nightstar herself? No freaking problem whatsoever. But those danged mobs...

Anyhoo.



Infernal? INCINERATED!



Chimera? CHAR-BROILED!



Bobcat? BAKED!



Neuron? NUKED!

I DO wanna ask what's up with Statesman though. The AI for the pet seems to indicate there's been a brain transplant from Fusionette (yeah, I know, impossible, but that's what it acts like).

All in all, a fairly productive night. Lots of lowbie leveling. And some of our regulars were hitting levels too.

We stopped just before the Battle Maiden mission.

Thanks to everyone who showed this evening. And thanks to the couple of people we picked up for riding along with us as we roasted, nuked, and bled all over everything in sight.

Can't speak for anyone else but Friday night was a blast... its really great to hear all the comments about how fast stuff dies when you have all the rads.

Hyerstrike was right we did run into a few problems but you know what? thats what makes it fun.

Anyway it was a lot of fun. Now if only states had not gotten in the way of that last screen shot I would have appeared in all the pics...lol

This is this Friday guys.

Friday, October 15th, 7PM Eastern

If you wanna show up later, just shoot me a tell (see the first post in this thread for the info).

Will be there but may only be able to run for a little while due to RL issues.

I've been waiting, but doesn't look like anyone has shown up tonight.

@Templar Ted

We were on the hill until about quarter after that we picked up a few stray friends-we-just-met and proceeded through a few more AV smackdowns.

Battle Maiden? Bye Bye!
Black Swan? Beat down.
Malaise? Bah! Poor excuse for a controller!
Mother Mayhem? Mwahahahaha!
Diabolique? Done to a well charred crisp.
Infernal? Is he back already? Okay. COOK HIM AGAIN!

Was getting ready to head in against Dominatrix and Marauder when I got a call from work (where I'm posting from now).

As usual, levels fell from the sky like rain. And Vortex Core is now Level 50!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the little people who helped make this happen!

Imp 1! Take a bow!
Imp 2! Take a bow!
Imp 3! HEY! Leave get out from underneath that Master Illusionist's dress!

NASTY!

On top of that, I'd like to thank all the people over the course of the last five months who've teamed with me to help get there. It's been a hellacious ride!

AGAIN! AGAIN! *BOUNCE*BOUNCE*BOUNCE*

Okay guys. The Halloween event is upon us.

And a group of Fire/Rads are rather uniquely suited to this event.

*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*
Fire/Rad 1: Trick or Treat!
Witches/Wolves/Vampires/Ghosts: TRICK*COUGH*COUGH*COUGH*DEAD!*
Fire/Rad 2: Wow. THAT was underwhelming. Maybe we should up the diff?
Fire/Rad 3: Uh, we're already at +4.
Fire/Rad 4: Okay we've been at this 15 minutes and have everything already, let's go hunt GMs.
Eochai: *COUGH*COUGH*COUGH*DEAD!*
Eochai: *COUGH*COUGH*COUGH*DEAD!*
Fire/Rad 5: We have a Jack!
Jack: *COUGH*COUGH*COUGH*DEAD!*
Fire/Rad 6: I wish he'd wear underwear. There are some things man is not meant to know...
Fire/Rad 7: So how many merits have we racked up already?
Fire/Rad 8: I lost count after the 50th GM...

Anyone have any problems with a little ToT for temp costumes, costume salvage, and GM hunting?

One thing to remember though, this IS on Freedom. So the server is likely to be QUITE busy. If we do this, you probably want to log on early to avoid getting queued.

So can any lvl toon join you? You know i ask this cause I have none and would have to roll a baby toon.
