Dual Pistols Super Team

During double XP weekend, one of my goals was to level my DP/Kin Corruptor to 20 and get him out of Praetoria. I logged in at level 10 and started recruting folks to run missions. I took the first 7 replies, and sent out invites. After everyone arrived at the mission door, I took a second to check out everyone's powersets out of curiousity. To my amazement, out of an 8 person team, we had 6 dual pistols characters, 4 corruptors and 2 blasters. We had no tank or brute, and if I recall correctly, the other two on the team were a mastermind and a stalker.

We started the mish and you would not believe the absolute slaughter that ensued. With all the buffs/debuff and bullets flying around, we steam rolled through missions with very few deaths. This got me thinking, "how awesome would a full team of dual pistols really be?" So here I am, asking the forum population if anyone would be interested in starting up a weekly dual pistols super team.

The only requirement would be that one of your powersets be dual pistols, meaning you would be limited to blaster, corruptor, or defender. I think a thugs mastermind would work as well. My thinking is, we could start in Praetoria, so all ATs/powersets could be in play, and level our way up,then head over to blue side. My DP/kin is currenly lvl 20, but I would be happy to come back to Praetoria and exemp down with the team.

If this sounds like something you would be in to, post your info.

Global: @Guardian Irish-Fury
Character Name: Cobalt-Cowboy
AT/Powerset: DP/Kin Corruptor
Most Convienient time/day: Any weeknight around 6 PM Central Time

Hmm... my DP blaster is 50 but i could be convinced to exemp her down for this.

Sounds good Gemini. So far we only have three people in. I'd to have at least one full team before we schedule anything.

1. Cobalt-Cowboy DP/Kin Cor @Guardian Irish-Fury
2. Brave Starr DP/Therm Cor @Gastbi
3. @Dr Gemini DP Blaster

Also, I was on your mothership raid last night. One of the best raids I've been on, but the lag was killing our team. A few got frustrated and left, but other than that, very good raid. I collected a ton of Vanguard merits.

Hmm. Interesting idea. Rotten Ronnie Raines (L23 DP/Rad Corr, @JDGumby) could use a workout, I think. Been a while since I played him, though. Can't remember if he's a Hero or a Rogue at the moment. Oh, well, if the plan's to start in Praetoria, it doesn't matter, I guess.

EDIT: Yep, Rogue. L23 currently, but will hit 24 today.

I have a DP Blaster I leveled just a bit over Double XP Weekend. I find this idea interesting and might would remake him to join in. Before a commitment, though, I'd kind of like to have some general idea as to when we might would be doing this.

So far, all of the interested parties seem to already have a DP toon leveled past Praetoria, so we can just skip Praetoria and meet up on blue side, and perhaps fight our way through some TFs. Maybe we can start with Posi and work our way up?

As far as time goes, I am pretty flexible. Weekends are usually no good for me, but any night during the week after 6 PM Central works well. How about Tuesdays or Thurdays? Any preferences?

The tentative lineup, so far:

1. Cobalt-Cowboy Level 21 DP/Kin Corr @Guardian Irish-Fury
2. Brave Starr Level 22 DP/Therm Corr @Gastbi
3. @Dr Gemini Level 50 DP Blaster
4. Ronnie Raines Level 23 DP/Rad Corr @JDGumby
5. rlloyd DP blaster (Dependant upon start time)

I would be quite interested, however with my work schedule it may be difficult to play on certain nights so I would love to join pending when it is scheduled.

@Lotus Dom

@DeltaOmega

Crow Seven, level 31 but I'm up for it.

Seven so far have expressed interest. Now if we can just pin down a time and day of the week. Does anyone have objections to 6:00 PM Central Time on Tuesdays? Those of you rolling up new toons for this, which ATs are you planning on? If everyone is either over lvl 20 or using hero ATs, i would prefer to start on hero side, but if someone wants to play a villain AT, we can meet up in Praetoria. Either way is fine with me.

1. Cobalt-Cowboy Level 21 DP/Kin Corr @Guardian Irish-Fury
2. Brave Starr Level 22 DP/Therm Corr @Gastbi
3. @Dr Gemini Level 50 DP Blaster
4. Ronnie Raines Level 23 DP/Rad Corr @JDGumby
5. rlloyd DP blaster (Dependant upon start time)
6. @Lotus Dom (Dependant upon start time)
7. Crow Seven lvl 31 @DeltaOmega

Tuesdays @ 6pm Central sounds fine to me...

hahaha, I knew you and Bravestarr were themed somehow.

Tuesday evenings on Freedom are great for me.

I see someone posted for the last spot but if you need me I would love to join!

@B0BBLE

That time and day sounds good to me. I'd be willing to remake my character if that's the route decided upon.

That gives us a full team, but it's always nice to have more because I'm sure everyone won't make it every week. If we get more than 8 to show up, we can split and run two teams.

Everyone seems to be playing existing toons so I see no reason to go back to Praetoria. Let's make Tuesday, February 8th at 6:00 PM Central our first meeting. Meet in Talos Island on the big hill beside the train station. For our first outing, I'm thinking we can run the doppleganger arc if no one objects. It's one of my favorites.

There is going to have to be a change of plan. My graphics card was possessed by some kind of demon over the weekend, and my rig is in the shop. No CoH for me for a few days We can shoot for next Tuesday the 15th if no one objects.

That sucks. :/ Oh, well. Good luck with getting a new card.

Hello all...what I thought was a grapics card issue, turned out to be an elderly motherboard taking its final breath, so I have been without a computer for the past week, but I got a new one and am ready to rock and roll. If everyone is still on board for the DP super team, then I say let's have our first outing tonight @ 6:00 PM Central Time. Meet in Talos Island on the dirt hill beside the train station. Any open spots, we can fill with Pugs if need be.

Confirmed for Tuesday Feb 15th @ 6:00 PM Central Time:

1. Cobalt-Cowboy Lvl 22 DP/Kin Corr @Guardian Irish-Fury
2. Brave Starr Lvl 22 DP/Therm Corr @Gastbi

If you can make it, please post below so I can hold a spot for you.

So, 2 and a half hours from now. Rotten Ronnie Raines'll be there.

Crow Seven'll be there.

That's four confirmed,

1. Cobalt-Cowboy Lvl 22 DP/Kin Corr @Guardian Irish-Fury
2. Brave Starr Lvl 22 DP/Therm Corr @Gastbi
3. Rotten Ronnie Raines Level 23 DP/Rad Corr @JDGumby
4. Crow Seven lvl 31 @DeltaOmega

Who else?

Pity that was it and that I could only stay a little while. :/ Oh, well. Can't all be as well attended as Tanker Tuesdays and such, I guess, especially the first time out...

Yeah, while the turn out was a bit low the first night out, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Let's all spread the word and get our fellow "duelies" out next week, same time and place.

For those who wanted to come but couldn't, we finished the Keith Nance and Jenny Adair arcs, and did the first two missions of the Roy Cooling arc. Even with only four of us, we didn't hit any challenge that was too much for us. With all of the buffs, debuffs, heals, and bullets flying, nothing we came across stayed alive very long. Next week, if we have a good enough turnout, I wouldn't mind taking a crack at a TF. Posi or Synapse anyone?

I'd vote Positron. I like having an Endurance bar, so fighting Clockwork sucks.

Positron works for me. I am a glutton for punishment I guess, so I am rather partial to the Synapse TF, but Posi is good fun as well. So here goes... Positron Task Force, Thursday February 24th at 6:00 PM Central Time. Fellow dual pistols enthusiasts add your character name to the below list to reserve your spot.

1. Cobalt-Cowboy lvl 24 DP/Kin Corr
2. BraveStarr lvl 24 DP/Therm Corr
