Prepare yourself, Pinnacle Server, you're about to have a sudden influx of fun!!

The Mission Architect Superteam is coming to Pinnacle and we're bringing the FUN of AE with us! Join us this Sunday (4/17/11), 12 noon eastern/9am pacific, at the AE Building in the Rikti War Zone as we play AE arcs for the stories, not the XPs.

If you've ever wondered what AE would be like with a group of fun teammates who take the time to read and aren't interested in farming, don't miss this event!

For the last year and a half the MA Superteam has been meeting each week on Triumph, playing all kinds of arcs and generally promoting the fun of AE. We've developed a unique, team-friendly playstyle where we take the time to copy/paste all the contact dialog so everyone in the group can follow.

Well, the time has come to branch out from Triumph and share our unique brand of fun with the rest of the servers...starting with PINNACLE!

Pinnacle regular, Bubbawheat, will be leading the charge as we play through some of the best arcs AE has to offer. We're not talking about those outdated Dev Choice or Guest arcs, these are the best arcs you've probably never heard of...and not a one of 'em is a Farm

If this sounds like something you'd like to experience, please join us this Sunday in the RWZ! All levels and ATs are welcome to join. If we have more than 8 show up, we'll simply break up into multiple teams.

tl;dr version:

Who: Open to all Pinnacle players (any level or AT)
What: Story driven AE teaming with the Mission Architect Superteam
Where: AE Building in Rikti War Zone, Pinnacle
When: Sunday 4/17, 12 noon Eastern, 9am Pacific
Why: For FUN!
If you have any questions or suggestions on arcs you'd like to play please post 'em here. We look forward to having fun with Pinnacle!

We don't just go in, we also play and enjoy AE! If you haven't been there for a while, join us and see for yourself. You gotta be burned out on the trials by now, anyway

By 'exploit' you mean "make really fun missions, be creative, and enjoy yourself?"

Rampant exploitation!

My character's name will be Kordor (level 4 MM).... I'm invading from Guardian server.

Stop by with your level 50 at some point before or after if you want to submit your awesome character to my Global: Character Contest or just post pics/bio later in that thread.

PEACE! (and happy gaming...)

Yes. This is why I got into AE in the first place. But then I realized I was sort of alone in that mentality, haha.

I'll show if I can! (By "can" I mean if I can get my partied-out brain to function at what will be 11am for me :P)


@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.

Awesome! We know the feeling, as it's kind of the reason we started an AE Superteam to begin with. Looking forward to seeing ya there

Thank you Pinnacle for kicking off our Ænvasion event! We had a full team, swapped a couple players in between arcs, and played through a few really fun mishes!

#341194 "Signal:Noise" by @Cheshire Cat
5 Mish, Heroic


#447945 "Damage Limitation" by @AP
4 Mish, Heroic


#453409 "The Lady, The Theif, and The Axe Murderer - A Love Story" by @Neckromancy
1 Mish, Heroic


#204942 "Chris Jenkins: Attorney at Law" by @Jophiel
1 Mish, Heroic

Our Pinnacle Ambassador, Bubbawheat, led the charge thru a very story-rich arc in Signal:Noise. This moody, detailed, and very unique mission really showed off what an arc can accomplish with minimal combat!

Next up was a great action-oriented arc in Damage Limitation, which tied directly into the canon story of Crey, and Hero Corp!

Bubba left us after the 2nd arc but suggested we try The Lady & Thief...it proved to be a bit too difficult for our mostly squishy & low level team, so we dropped that arc and loaded up lowbie-friendly Chris Jenkins! It was a fun comedy arc highlighting Paragon's favorite lawyer and some crafty Hellions!
It was especially fun playing the arcs with new players and showing off the fun you can have in AE aside from farming.

Next Sunday (4/24/11): the Ænvasion! continues!! Join us on Justice Server at the AE Building in Rikti War Zone, 9am Pacific/12 noon Eastern. I'll be leading the team on my home server and all levels and ATs are welcome to join. So feel free to make an alt and see us there!

Thanks again for the fun Pinnacle, we'll have to do this again!

Just popping in to say:

Signal: Noise really stood out, and is worth a visit to A/E (IMO). It was very creative in its mechanics and story. Very memorable!

Just noticed this thread (really don't visit the official forums much any more..), so I missed the event...but wanted to say THANK YOU for doing this! Moar, please...and I'll try very hard to make it (and drag along other members of the Pinnacle Roleplay Congress).

And to the naysayers, there have always been players who used AE "as intended" to make interesting, immersive missions. Exploiters and farmtards tried to ruin it for everyone...but they failed.


"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."

Sorry you missed it Dollhouse, hopefully you can join in on some of the other server Ænvasions

We may revisit Pinnacle in a future event aimed at AE Authors from each server, but that's still in the planning stages.
