Time Manipulation Superteam

I noticed a few on my global list in this and came here to see what was up.

Already 19/20, sigh.

Next time, I'll have to pay more attention.

Now that we've got a couple sessions under our belt, I just wanted to toss out a few tactics that I think will be helpful for our teams. Some fall under "no duh", but are worth mentioning anyway.

• It's your responsibility to keep the Temporal Selection buff on the teammate listed below you in the team list. If you're on the bottom, you buff the top person. If/When you slot enough recharge enhancements in it to be able to keep two teammates permanently buffed, then you should buff both the teammate listed below and above you.
• Don't hang in the back of the crowd. It's natural when playing squishy ATs to hang back and use your ranged powers. That's not what we want to do here. With everyone running Time's Junction, we want to take advantage of it. Get right up in the middle of the bad guys and start smacking them in the face. With 8 people hitting the bad guys with -ToHit and -Dmg, we start turning into tanks pretty quickly.
• Stay together. Temporal Mending, Farsight, Chrono Shift, and the Leadership powers are all PBAoE, so we need to be near each other to take advantage of everything. If you stray out on your own, you won't be in range for healing, and you may run into enemies that aren't being debuffed as much as the others.

not to tangent, but i did buy some (namely the 24 count) good/evil booster packs. granted my numbers aren't supior as to others on the forums. but my results:

-for those after the costume pieces only...it took me 11 of 24 +/- 1 to get all the pieces. ((this was a my purpose of the packs, yes the other goodies were nice but my main objective)
-i got a lot of enhancement boosters...i think my total is near 50-60 +/-7 ((i did have some from previous token rewards))
-i got a fair amount of unslotters, but more of the boosters.
-i would say i got a fair amount of the inps...not alot but at least a couple of each color/combo for both personal and team...so i shall pop those as needed
-I got a few of the revival powers for both myself and others...which means is now a rezzer!
-I got 2 Archanos (one being the proc), 2 Keld, 1 controller (hmm, wonder who is getting that ), 1 corr (i think it was the proc), 1 stalker, 1 scrapper, and 1 dom.****
-I got 4 of the catalyst boosters...
-if not stated, i got 53+/- 3 claims for (25 merits) so do 53ish x 25 and boom there is my total of reward merits...haven't done the math yet so you get my lazy conversion has stated :P

**** For the record, i don't know if this is wai or bugged. but the last i checked once claimed, you were to be given the reciepe which could be traded/sold on the market. Well that did not happen.(?, for my confusion) Once claimed it popped up as a crafted enhancement...which means to me, that the ATIO's are now account bound regardless and that there is no reciepe form to trade. Last i paid attention to for this controversy, it was tobe a reciepe. But what the hell do i know? I got the points to spare, so i may buy another couple here or there and play around some more.

edit: did some reading and i guess the fact that ATIO's are claimed as an enhancement rightaway is WAI...just also wanted to say. if anyone is looking to complete any of the sets for alts and i happen to have a piece you need, let me know and i am more then willing to work out a deal with you (and one that wont rob you of all inf).

Great fun on Sunday. RL interrupted last Friday so I missed the inagrual outing, but I caught up quick.

(Thanks for the shout out King, nice to be back again!)

As to the West Coast late arrival. There have been a couple times I remember getting in late and both teams were TF'ing away. There was an offer to restart on both occasions. I think I chose to spend some inf at WW and slot up.

And I agree with the tactics thing. I say jump in the middle like you're a tanker, and let the slows do their thing.

I'm finding that Ice Blast may not have been necessary to add to the slowness. the baddies are melting like crazy with the beams focused on them.

Makes me wonder if we can root Synapse in the LRSF.

I completely missed yesterdays D:

Had a haircut that was some time in the morning and ended up not coming home until sometime after 6pm. Boooooo.

Like most Sundays, I might miss that too, but I might catch the end of it maybe.

I'm on board...Mr. Time is the name!

Welcome! Glad to see more new blood joining us. I'm proud that we inspired your first post on the boards too!

It's not too late to join us for Time Manipulation goodness. We're just about to enter our 3rd week on the project, but we always try to include everyone and catching up is usually quick, especially with a Double XP weekend coming up.

What did I miss over the weekend? Any good tales of villainy or hilarity? I look forward to Friday.

Weekly update: Most of the JSTers have completed the shift from vil-->rog. the level range is roughly 27/28ish to 31/32ish last time i checked. Which means those of you lurkers who are blueside and wish to join us should start watching our channel for the whats going down. this weekend will most likely be finishing up tips for those that need too and maybe a tf/sf of somesort.

So i guess i22 comes out next week, plus double xp weekend is right around the corner...do i sense a surge of new dark/time lowbies?

Ok... I broke down before Dark Control goes live tomorrow and made a Time/DP defender by the name of "A Rangle in Time"...

I'll also be making a dark/time controller when I get a chance. Altitis, it multiplies...

Unfortunately my schedule for the next week will probably prevent me from seeing the light of day until late Sunday, or Monday. But I will say howdy when I get the opportunity.

Show up when you can. The defenders have started picking up chrono shift and I believe there's a few corruptors and trollers that are getting close as well. We've been tearing through everything like a hot knife through butter, so any lowbies in the group won't stay lowbies for long.

I have been wanting to catch up with this group and run some missions with my DP/Time Corruptor, but have been weirdly occupied this past two weeks. Hopefully this weekend I can find the time.

We are officially getting scary. The defenders have had Chronal Shift for a few sessions, and the corruptors and controllers are starting to pick it up. With only two shifters on my team last night, my Phantom Army was already just seconds short of permanent. We can already keep Temporal Selection on two teammates full time. The stacking is just insane.

On another note...I was thinking of going for the Psionic Mastery APP on my ill/time controller (for thematic reasons as well as for the powers). But when I looked at the numbers, I wasn't that impressed. But I've never played it before, so...what is the general consensus on that APP? Is it OK in practice?

I was finally able to join in with my Dark/Time controller this evening and had a very fun night. Thanks once again for letting me tag along.
