Returning Player Looking for a good SG


Brightwel

 

Posted

I've been playing CoX for a few months on and off now and I have to say it's definitely my favourite MMO, however like any MMO I can rarely stand playing it for more than a month or two at a time before needing to take a break.

Anyway, although I've loved playing the game thus far I felt like I've missed out a lot in it since I've always had the rotten luck of joining a SG that starts out good but always ended up dying a few weeks later after all it's key members mysteriously vanish, never to be heard from again. This has greatly discouraged me from playing practically all of the lvl 50 content since I always felt like I never had anyone to play with (Sad isn't it?). To the main point however, with the introduction of all the new incarnate stuff I'm now resolved to do all the 50 content with my next toon when he reaches 50 and basically I would really appreciate it if someone could recommend me a good, well-established, active SG that won't kick a member for taking a few months break every now and then (On a side note I'm also interested in starting a bit of RP).

The character I'll be playing on mostly is called "Spectral Shootist" and my global is @Brightwel, thanks in advance to any who respond!


I can't be bothered to think of something amazingly wise or witty to show how much of a genius I am, just take my word for it.

Well this is not quite what you ask for, but several of us are in global chats.
Specially in three major ones.
Sals Badgehunters: (Mainly badgehunting but alot of task forces are made through this one.)
Union Taskforce: (Task forces are made here, and also events)
Union Chat: (This channel is to talk about anything else really)

Now why do i mention them? Simple, a lot of people to do the various content with.
To join a channel simply write /chan_join "Sals Badgehunters"
as an example.
This will enable Sals.

You did also mention Roleplay.
You will find several players in the channel
Union Roleplayers (Out of character chat with a lot of Unions roleplayers)
ask around and play with us and I believe you will find an established group that do not end that quickly.

Oh.. and welcome back from you break

Thanks, I'll be sure to look into those. It's not a perfect solution to my woes but its definitely a start.

I thought so too (a start). Now do ask in a few of those channels (team with a few players etc) if they are taking new recruits in their sg's. Tell them your preferences and I believe you will get into an active sg quickly.

I run a Supergroup called the Zero Strykers, whose primary function is to facilitate the Cathedral of Pain trials on Union, if you wish to join, even as a temporary measure there are plenty of facilities for use such as teleporters and workshop that you are welcome to make use of until such time that you find a more permanant SG, or decide to stay and support regular CoP runs

Tsumiju, can you post your SG base?

I need to join a Supergroup base to participate in CoP. I have 7 characters on union now and one I will add to someone else's SG. If you run CoP regularly and have a cool crib I'll be happy to join. Will you be online Wednesday so I can join?

Just so you know you dont need to be in a supergroup to do the CoP, all thats needed to do one is a supergroup out of the entire raid to have a CoP TP'r and then everybody can join it I myself on one alt that does it is supergroupless.


@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

I didn't understand this: all thats needed to do one is a supergroup out of the entire raid to have a CoP TP'r(raid tp?) and then everybody can join it

I have asked lots of questions about this. I was told the new CoP requires 3 leaders for 3 groups(8x3=24) because of the timing required to access something in the SS.

Group 1 : Sg leader and members of supergroup
Group 2 : Sg leader and coaltion members
Group 3 : This is where the problems came. I couldn't add random members to my team.

Have you done the new CoP with 8?

Yes the CoP which is run most fridays requires just the 3 teams as you said. Now lets say the supergroup with the raid tp is ALPHA [random name].

Team 1: ALPHA member + 7 other heroes [7 others dont need to be in ALPHA]
Team 2: ALPHA member + 7 other heroes [7 others dont need to be in ALPHA]
Team 3: ALPHA member + 7 other heroes [7 others dont need to be in ALPHA]

The only requirement needed is that ALPHA has the option "teammates can enter supergroup base" ENABLED.

But yes you do need the 3 teams because the first part of the raid needs all 3 teams to work in sync to take down the towers with a few seconds of eachother to open the Ruluraa fight.

I get what your saying. The group on friday is run out of a dedicated CoP SG with 3 leaders so we just have to be invited to play.

Base Layout ( has been updated a lot recently)

***EDIT***
In fact that post's really out of date! The workshop is MUCH bigger now, the medical bay was updated this week and cave room is missing! So you're best bet is if you want to see the base, send me a tell ingame.


As for CoP regarding teams, yes you're right again Damz you just need 3 members online from the same SG and a whole load of invites to other players! My intent has always been to get enough SG members to fufill the 3 team member requirements during the majority of peak times so that we can do community CoP runs more often and even (ir someone fancies a go) during the week if I'm offline.
