Time Manipulation Superteam

Due to no one having LRSF unlocked, we decided to run a +4 LGTF. Even the Hami at +4. Thanks to our fearless leader, King, Hami fell to our might. We finished in less than two hours and moved on to the resulting invasion in Kings Row, where for a change of pace, we beat up some Rikti.

Nemesis must have determined that we were a significant threat to him because he showed up. We beat him up and told him that compared to Rangle M. Down, he was a rank amateur at plotting.

There was some ideas tossed around for our next endeavor. If I remember correctly, fire blast corruptors, mental/psi and energy were brought up as possible options.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

I'm sorry I won't be able to join you today, but I will try to unlock the LRSF until next friday.

I think that most of us would enjoy an opportunity to go to Atlas and show States that we are far cooler and meaner than him.

There was also talk of an Apex on Friday because it's the WST. Any chance of a master run to make it more interesting?

Oh, right, good point. But we will have the rest of the Incarnate powers.

I just wanted to mention that if anybody was planning on waiting till superteam starts to pick up their Freebie Friday goodies, that is not possible because Freebie Friday ends an hour before we start.

Curses! Again the devs show neither awareness nor respect for our team's needs!

I am sure they are plotting to release several new powersets just after we decide our next theme.

I'd like to suggest something to the hive mind in regards to the next group. We've done single powersets (traps, trick arrow, time) and broad themes (radiation, earth, dark, bladed). However, we've never done a group that was limited by archetype.

This is why I'd like to suggest that our next group be a group of force multipliers. We could go controller, defender or corruptor. Personally, I prefer corruptor or controller. Containment works for everybody on team and scourge kicks in a <50% health. This would allow people some freedom of choice in deciding what they would like to bring to the party. In fact, if the hive mind did agree to this option, I think that we shouldn't reveal what powersets we chose. The logic behind this is with other groups people chose powersets that complemented the rest of the group. Not knowing would add an element of chance.

I will confess that part of my suggesting this is I'm burnt out on playing a single target buffer. If I was to chose to play another buffer, it would be AoE like cold.

This is just my 2 inf. Any thoughts?

If you want to make things interesting you could always do something similar to what I've done. The following is an example of what I'm suggesting. Not saying you should use this, but something similar could be fun.

So. I've got a very, very small themed SG called Numerous. Everyone is a Corruptor. Power sets don't matter, as long as you're enjoying playing the sets. Every member of the SG's name starts with Numerus (Roman number higher then 23), for Example, Numerus XXIV, Numerus XXV, Numerus XXX, etc. ("Numerus" = Roman Numerals.) So literally, Number 24, Number 25, Number 30, etc. The first costume uses a black/white Vanguard outfit that can have one or two pieces with a different color, or a different costume piece. I could go into the background, but it's really not necessary.

So you get a team where everyone's AT is the same, has a very similar name, and costume. With powers colored nearly the same. It's a touch confusing to keep track of who's who to begin with, but you get used to it. Imagine taking a team like that to an iTrial, or a Ship raid.

Maybe you could do something along those lines.

If you guys want to "co-opt" the idea and make more Numerus, I'd be fine with that. There's only 4, maybe 5 in the SG at the moment. Let me know and I can give more back ground on the SG concept. If not, that's fine too.

Additionally, thanks to everyone who joined in on Sunday night's ship raid. That was a lot of fun. I had a couple of comments on Skype about "how cool it was" to have the Time super teamers on the raid. It is, as always, much appreciated.

Sunday was a blast. Ship raid, Apex (WST), Tin Mage = lots of all kinds of merits. Scored a Ragnorak/Knockback at some point, too. Now I'm short of converters. I want to convert the Ragnorak, and I have a Celerity that wants to be a +stealth.

I think the single-AT team is a decent idea. I'm OK with narrower themes, too. We should kick around more ideas this Friday, see what is piquing people's interest. Last time around, it was pretty clear that Beam and Time were the lead horses. This time, I don't see a frontrunner.

The other thing I want to say as we start to wrap up is I really grew to love illusion/time. It took me a while to warm up to it, but it's really turned out to be a great combination, solo and on teams, and at the incarnate level, too. I have as much fun playing her as I do playing my widow, and the ill/time is definitely more useful.

First off, I really enjoy the Time team. I lobbied hard for it and it's exceeded my expectations. It is the epitome of a "Superteam" to me. That means two things: 1. I'm pretty easy with our next project. Anything I suggest below is just rambling. I'll vote of course when the time comes, but doubt I'll be too invested in what we end up with. 2. I'm not yet ready to put the Timers to pasture. I'd really like to continue our dominance of high level content and get some more level shifts. I'd really like an all-Time MoM and DD (only need 8+ for those) before we retire them, but *mostly* +3s may be a good idea for that. I do know that others are getting antsy to move on, and we still have to collect options, vote, and post the new project, which takes some time. Speaking of which:

I actually really like the idea of a single AT team, and all Corruptor or Controller teams are quite powerful; however, I actually liked the idea of an all-melee team that we discussed. I would vote Tankers with Stalkers a close 2nd (I hear they are much stronger after the recent buffs). Heck, even Doms might be a good mix and are something we rarely see on our projects. This may be surprising considering I'm normally all about the force multipliers, but maybe it's for some variety both in our projects and in my normal play. There is no doubt that this would be less powerful than all buffers, but it will certainly be different. We can still pick up team friendly powers like Leadership to give us some stacked buffs. If I had to choose a buff type, I'd go Controller so I can try out Darkness Control.

I am so in for an all time MoM or DD. It's my opinion that our HoT would override the DoT in the second phase of MoM.

Not to be overly contrary, but we did do an all melee team, the bladed team. It wasn't limited by AT because we had brutes, widows and stalkers. But like Starry said, there are more options now (Titan Weapons, Street Justice and Staff fighting) than there were then.

King brings up a good point. Doms are rarely seen in our projects. An all dom team would be interesting. If we're going to consider a single archetype group, doms should be an option.
