The Augustine to effect CHANGE! 12/4/10


Avatea

Do you think grey hunting for 85% of Augustine is not fun?

Do you think the plot of Augustine is worse than Planet 9 from Outer Space and should be changed?

Do you think the named bosses of the CoT in Augustine should be EBs or AVs?

If so, come on down and make your case to redname Avatea while running this mindnumbing TF!

On Saturday, December 4 at 5pm Eastern, join me and Avatea on an Augustine TF. 44+ to join on blueside. 42 merits.

Why should I run Augustine? There's Alpha stuff to do!

Ah, but there will be a few missions where you fight actual level 50 enemies, so there's a few shots at getting shards.

Now granted, Avatea is NOT a dev. However, she is higher on the totem pole around here than the rest of us. Devs > Avatea/Ocho > Arcanaville > rest of us.

Team roster:

1. DC
2. Avatea
3. Satanic Hamster
4. Kobolt Thunder
5. Cheapman
6. Necrotech
7. (temporarily reserved)
8. (temporarily reserved)

If time permits, we also could use this as The Committee to Fix the Hole in the Floor of the Terra Volta Reactor, or CFHFTVR.

Yeah, that's why everyone spends their evenings in game fighting grey conned mobs instead of doing task forces or general missions... BECAUSE IT'S JUST SO GOSH DARNED FUN.

There were thoughts about Numina, as well as Faathim. However, Faathim would probably run beyond the 2 hour time that Avatea is required to be around me. As for Numina, for me it eventually came down to 'more gripes with Augustine than Numina'.

Numina's plot that requires you to do all the grey hunting actually makes a small amount of sense, if you read the plot (magic lay lines and so on, clockwise and counterclockwise around the city for the spell). Augustine's plot, on the other hand, is simply "go there and secure the area". Repeat, a dozen times. Also, Numina has more standard/normal door missions than Augustine, and travel time is not hampered by the Shard.

It may have a good reason plot-wise (I do occasionally read what's going on) but that doesn't make it any less boring and nearly devoid of a reward, especially compared to all the others TFs. I don't have a potential fix in mind, I just think it's silly design.

The Best will tag along for Augustine if possible. I certainly have no hidden agendas or anything suspicious like that.

Poor Avatea... DC bought her on the auction to petition for TF and mission changes. I can agree with him wanting them changed, but... still. Have fun on this long TF. I've still only managed Sara Moore out of all of the Shard TFs.

Augustine is the short and boring one, Dr. Quarterfield is the looong and boring one.

Thanks to all for the Augustine and the 3rd respec we ran after. Special thanks to Avatea for being such a good sport with all of our suggestions/comments about the TF and other game items.

Having met her in real life, I can say that Avatea is a great person and I'm sorry to have missed out on teaming with her.
