Plant Superteam

Hello fellow Freedom goers,

I am an admitted plant addict, and have formed an all plant heroside superteam alongside a number of other fellow plant addicts. All new players are welcome.

Some details.

Me: I've ran a few superteams in the past---one very old one modeled off a bunch of twin sets of Mind/* controllers. I've played on a few as well, and generally enjoy them. I'm a "vet"---been playing the game since it started. My global is @wtwall01, and my alt for this is Pelagea. If you decide you want to join, feel free to post here. Please post your own global so I can add you in game and we can connect to get your alt into the SG.

Powersets: The vast majority of us are Plant controllers or dominators. That said, we keep things open for the melee addicts out there. Spines/anything scrappers are welcome, and really any melee alt that could come up with a lawnmower/weed wacker type would work too.

Powers and Playstyle: The only mandatory powers, power pool wise, would be the leadership pool (Manuevers and Tactics, at the least). For the plant ATs, all of us will take Seeds of Confusion, Carrion Creepers, and Roots. Roots will keep the baddies away from us and deal a great deal of damage (especially for the controllers). Carrion Creepers does new justice to the word "buzzsaw." Seeds helps with mitigation. All dom/cont secondaries are welcome.

Server: Freedom

Playtime: We try to play regularly on Saturday afternoons, starting at 2 PM Eastern-ish. We have already progressed out of Praetoria. Impropmtu play is permitted, of course. Again, all are welcome to join us, you just have to make it to heroside.

I'll delete an alt for this. Probably make a dom.

I run with teams on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday sometimes. I like a 9p Eastern time slot. I'm in the central time zone and I've been trying to get to bed before 11pm lately as I wake up at 5:30.

OFF TO MIDS!

I have a plant/fire dom that I made because it sounded fun and then never played. So I'd be interested in trying this. I'm Eastern time, so the earlier the better.


 

Posted

Awesome news, all. I'm thinking perhaps a Saturday afternoon for our regular play time. How does that work for you two?


 

Posted

I've never had a standing event during the day, but I'm willing to try it.

I made a plant/thorn dom but I'm not sure I'm thrilled with it. I don't like Spines. I think I'll delete him and make a plant/ice dom. I just liked the defense debuff the thorns had and sometimes it's hard to see the -speed stuff having a big effect.

Are we starting sub-lv10? That's what I assumed.


 

Posted

Sounds good to me. I'm usually available Saturday afternoon.

I haven't done one of these types of things before, so I apologize in advance if I do something weird or wrong. Let me know if we're supposed to get to X level in advance or whatever and I'll get on it.

I assume it doesn't matter if we're resistance or loyalist.

I don't know if others prefer this, but in the fire/rad controller superteam here I take pride in that Kaylee Foxtrot started with the team and played all but a few missions with them, and she's a 50 now.

I think we'll try to play together at first, if just for the advantage until we get out of Praetoria. How's Saturday, starting at 2 PM Eastern, work for you two? And no pref. on Loyalist or Resistance...as long as we can end up blue side under either, it won't matter. I'm thinking blue side only for the better population on that end.

And Post, don't worry about messing up. First of all, I'm sure you'll do great. Second, all of us will mess up once in awhile, and most mistakes in this game are easily rectified.

Let me know if 2 PM Eastern works for you two? If so, I'll update the first post to reflect that.


 

Posted

Should work for me. And I'm the messing up one. Not stressing or anything, just explaining that if there's some way this stuff is normally done, I am probably clueless. So fresh out of the gate at level 1 come Saturday?

I'm trying to come up with a concept I like. I've deleted two now that didn't do much for me.

The name is the hardest.

I have no prob w 2pm Sat, that I know of.

We're set for 2 PM this Saturday, all. As of now, we have 5 or so near guaranteed. Given the league system, more are always welcome to join the gardening fun. Fellow Freedom folk, sound off if you'd like to join. I'll likely be playing a Plant/Earth Dom.

Post, Loupy, can you toss up your globals? I'm going to add you two (and the other two who are joining us for the upcoming festivities).

That was fun. I got to level 8, I think. I'm going to really like this AT and this team, though the time, middle of the day Saturday, is inconvenient.

We had a fantastic first run, all! Fellow gardeners, you did a great job, and even at low levels our power synthesis was shining. We've already blasted through Nova Praetoria and are on to Imperial City, and I anticipate next week we will make it to Level 20 so we can get out of Praetoria and on to bigger, better, and bolder things on the blue side.

For everyone that played but had to leave a tad early, please feel free to get your alts to Level 13. If you can, go on ahead and take Maneuvers as you go, just to keep our defense up, too. If you don't have time to get up to 13, no worries.

Hope to see all of you next Saturday at 2 PM Eastern.

Glad you had fun, Post; I had a great time playing with you. Once we get out of Praetoria, I'm going to make a super group for us. We'll also explore altering our play time, or playing at different times. With the super group, we'll be able to get more people joined in.

Oh - I wish I had been able to see this thread before. I really like playing the controller / plant power set. My first and only level 50 is a plant/arrow combination. If you get a supergroup going please post. I would love to bring along another plant manipulator and play with others in the same power set.

You know you can sneak into Praetoria via the bathrooms at Pocket-D?

I took a level 2 PB in there, and have teamed with one in there. I've never seen any SoA there though.

It's 8 pm on Satuday to you. Much more convenient, in my opinion, than the 1 pm it is for me in the Central time zone.

Darn, I'm at work at that time. Would love to join with my plant/fire. He's at 50 but I haven't been to Praetoria in a while.

You're welcome to join us whenever we're on and there's room, Laile. If you could let me know what your global name is, I'll add you. We plan on playing sporadically, especially after we're out of Praetoria. I'll tell you if I see you on and you can join as your leisure.

We play sporadically too, Rad. If you let me know your global name, I'll keep an eye out and you can join us at your leisure.

You're welcome to join us, especially when we're out of Praetoria and to the blue side. Let me know your global and I'll add you, Bey. Then I can tell you when I see you.
