EERC: Thursday Theme Team

I was on a team the other night with Scarlet and there were a couple of other electrical types on there too, and for one of the first times in the game I've ever really witnessed, we sapped big time; like Malta only with more attitude.

That got me thinking - a dangerous pastime at best - that an all electric team could be incredibly awesome. Which got me thinking even more... an all Trick Arrow team would be very fun, so would Ice or Fire or...

and so it seems to me that one very fun thing to do would be to put a regular "Theme Team" night together where teams with a common power get together to do a Task or Strike Force (or more) then if successful, and there's the support for it, those interested could do the 1-50 as a regular thing - but that's for then this is for now.

Best thing is, we can run this cross-server and so everyone can take part.

My initial proposal is to go with my original idea: All Electric doing the WST which on heroes I believe is Sister Psyche next week, and from there take a measure of how we feel.

I'll be on Scarlet on Defiant at Sister Psyche on Thursday 17th at 7.30pm UTC (8.30 CET) so feel free to join me and if anyone wants to put a theme team togetehr for Union and run parallel with us you're very welcome. Just make sure that whatever toon you bring has at least one powerset that's electric.

See you there!

I'm determined to get more involved with task forces and the like, so I'll be keen to take part.

I have two Electrical themed alts I can bring along, either a trigger happy blaster, or a blueside dominator. Both are level 21.

i love the theme teams (i would love to take part in an all Traps team).. but in thursdays, i usually take part in the unofficiall weekly all defenders WTS run, on the same time

these are some themed ITFs that i would like someday to organize :

"Going undercover" roman themed costume
"Burried in bullets shells" all AR/DP blasters/corruptors/defenders and Thugs MMs
"Darkest night of Rommy" all Dark realted power sets

You see, themed costume nights would be GREAT as there's no powerset/AT restriction - sign me up for the first one of those run!

Otherwise, if someone runs this in parallel on Union I will bring my hero out of mothballs - the original "Zap Robotnik" (as seen, briefly, in CoH Comic Issue #12).

after my morning post i had a ton of ideas about themed team itf [costume related or at/powerset]...... i will probably start organizing them..... mondays probably..... i will think about it a bit more


the one i really want to do is ''this time we are bringing gadgets and ninjas'' itf - traps, devices, ninja mm and ninja themed stalkers/scrappers

Anybody going to be up for another themed team / TF this coming Thursday?

Last week's all Electric Sister Psyche task force was good fun - a lot of sapping going on, and I think it would be fun to try something else.

Any thoughts on potential themes ? Perhaps an all Stone Team ?

Definitely up for something and this week the WST will be the Sister Psyche TF I believe.

If Stone is a preference this week, then I will have Magma Mage, my earth/thermal troller stood by

If we're going for a Stoned theme, then I have my Earth / Rad Controller Stone Death waiting in the wings.

Anyone else up for this ?

Shortly I will be a 6 year vet, and with the new slot, I have an Idea/concept for an Ice/Ice or Ice/Cold character.

The concept comes in when all they are going to be slotted with is slow sets in the primary and secondary powers. The recipes are quite cheap (at the moment) and slows to tend to be quite good in pvp, as I have had them used against me.

This is my personal concept. If anyone would like to join me on a theme team, you are free to slot your powers how you want.

I am just putting this idea out there so people can have a think about it, when the time comes I will post again.

Okay, Ice/Ice Blaster, Antarctic Burn is born, he is in praetoria, by officer Flint, I will start playing him on Thurs. from 7pm (gmt) defiant server

Just waiting for Thursday night now, Please feel free to join in the fun.

Will revisit the total slow io's as it appears the slow cap can be reached quite easily, my original idea was to have every power have the ability to slow an opponent, but will take another look.

Ok, I've got a Ice / Cold corruptor, Triple Point, loitering with intent near Officer Flint.

Should be interesting !

Curse the call of Tesco every Thursday evening!

Ahh, just remembered that my ice tank is on union anyway

In light of Avatea's post relating to i20 beta testing, is the Thursday Theme Team still meeting up this week?

I've no preference either way, but just wanted to check with others. I've posted here, as I can't recall everyone who was in the team last week (I should have been paying more attention). I'll also /tell those I can remember in game.

(Triple Point)

Okay - It would seem that the i20 testing is overshadowing the team, so until further notice, I would imagine this is on hiatus.

Seriously looking forward to getting back to this.

Howdy all

Is there still any interest in this, or is everyone busy grinding for incarnate shiny these days ?
