Forlorn Hope
City of Heroes\Villians => General CoX Discussion => Topic started by: Swifty on 30 July 2006, 02:37:00 am

A discussion during the FH meet lead to the idea of forming a weekly team consisting of all Defenders and Controllers. There seemed to be a bit of interest so here is the offical post to find out the kind of interest there may be.
The event would be on a Tuesday night. Starting 1900-1930 and play for 3 or 4 hours before logging off.
If we can get sufficent interest for a full 8 man team (or maybe more than one team) then we are looking at starting begininng of Sept. (get summer over and done with first. I hear some poeple still like to go out in the Nat-ur-real light stuff. )
Server would be Infinity. Most of us still have slots there.
I kind of got excited by the idea and have already rolled up an Earth/Kin called Ehlana who is waiting for friends to come join her.
If you are interested leave a post.
-
I'm in, haven't quite made my mind up exactly what, possibilities are a gravity/TA or radiation controller, or Rad/sonic or archery defender.
Steve AKA Minotaur
-
In - I'll probably do a toon till late 20's then substitute Ebon Night in for some D3 lovin' ;)
As an aside how does a starting on a weekend and burn through to 15 or so? Shouldn't take long if we've got a full team, we get DOs and travel powers and it'll give us a good chance to sort out team roles.
Edit - prodding with build and rolled a Sonic\Energy called Art of Noise that looks as though it may be entertaining :)
-
I am up for the Sat start. Looking at the calender that would be.....
Sat 2nd Sept.
We could do sewers for the first 5-7 levels and then burn mobs in hollows or something to get us off to a start.
BTW - Still doing an earth controller, but the secondary is currently in debate. I think I will see what others go for.
-
I'm in.
Will almost certainly go for a mind/* controller. I'm thinking empathy or storm.
-
Ive just created a dark/psi defender to add a little damage to our team. Sounds like this will be as fun as our rads, oh how i miss them.

We also talked about reviving the fallout on an irregular basis, if you want to take up that project... ;)
-
I know it's a bit late as some of the toons have already been generated, but do we want a theme for the costumes ?
Steve
-
Well at this stage it's not going to be hard to remake for costumes :)
Ideas, people?
Do we want silly? (Pirates and ninjas)
Reformed Villians? (get to use all the funky options)
Scary? (Clowns and Mimes)
Futuristic?
Uniforms?
Once we have a few ideas we can poll it :)
-
Sadly I cannot make this, as Tuesday is Night Elf Night on WoW (also I'm running out of slots on Infinity).
However I'll be looking out for anyone else planning to rez (or should that be Mutate) Forlorn Fallout :)
-
I really like this idea. I am going to roll out a few test toons now but would quite like to experiment with a ill/ff or ill/rad troller.
-
Yep, count me in. I'll be doing a Storm/Dark defender. I've already created him, but he's low enough for me to scrap (again) if I have to remake his cossie.
C
-
Just a thought, would people object to me playing a pure human form warshade (pretty controllerish anyway, particularly at higher levels) in this group ? This would have the advantage that if we decided we needed a tank later it's only a respec away.
Steve
-
I've got no issues with that :)
So, anyone have ideas for theme or costumes?
-
Theme could just be colour based, or otherwise clowns, cowboys, pirates, bots, formal wear, military uniforms.
A few silly suggestions would be to go 'Thongbow', piss take red/white very skimpy longbow like costumes, or Victorian with top hats and handlebar moustaches, or 70s disco/funk refugees. Either that or Blues Brothers (male toons) and rocky horror show (female), shame you can't do the men in rocky horror show gear too.
Never underestimate the effect of a large group of similarly dressed heroes, usually arouses some comment.
Steve
-
Hehe great ideas for cossies there. I especially love the 'Thongbow' one :) I rolled out a quick ill/ff troller last night. Seems good so far.
-
My personal preference is 'bots\armour ::), Uniforms (military or otherwise) or a cohesive colour scheme...
I've seen the "speedo" tights and a group of eight would probably leave me with nightmares :p, the '70s funk look should have been taken out, shot and buried in a deep dark hole somewhere....sometime about 1973\74
I could see a Victorian thing although for completeness we'd all need a random bind generator for 'English' phrases , "What ho!", "Bagged the blighter", "Tiffin old chap?", "God save the Queen" etc....
-
Ooooooh! I like the idea of a victorian theme with English RP.....they do bowler hats in the cossies as well don't they? Could work very well. Tweed. Prythos and I were talking about something similar the other night.
C
-
Victorian Theme could be great fun. Like that one the most :)
Tho military would always have a place in my heart too

Ah, the same bind generator that does the Nemesis guys talking to the freaks.
Not sure what is available for female Victorian toons.
Have people seen the Electric Six "Gay bar" video ? Was thinking of doing an Abe Lincoln, but probably with trousers rather than the posing pouch Dick Valentine was wearing.
We can of course choose another team look at 20.

a couple of sort of victorians I already have with apologies for crap paint skills.
Steve
-

Nah - it's something we can do, we just need a bunch of phrases we can put in a text file, a bit of jiggery pokery (and I'm lookin at you here Bryan ;)) and we just press a key Voila! Random phrase.
There's a link in the resources thread which takes you here (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=2208259&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1#2208259)
-
Was thinking about it further and the victorian theme could get a bit restrictive with regards to the cossies.
Not sure about changing the theme. I would prob pick a name to go with the theme and then that would be annoying having one that might not fit.
couple of other ideas - Highway men (think adam and the ants, stand a deliver), Robin hood and his merry mutated men, ancient culture (roman / eqyptian / celtic / norse)
will have a few more tonight.
Swifty :D

Well whilst it can be restrictive when you're creating the costume it really does look awesome when there's 8 of you who match, even the standard Tight top and bottom, this pattern and these colours. Individually it's not that exciting but a full team of you is incredibly striking ;)

QFT
The other thing that's quite fun is to each have a letter on our chests as the emblem that spells out something when we stand in the right order. Reminds me of two friends who had T-shirts printed with BOLL on one and OCKS on the other.
Having identical costumes while it looks good, can make identification at a glance difficult (although the team that looked like a phantom army was funny). As another possible suggestion, we could go for costumes identical in all but colour. That can also look quite amusing.

I quite LIke the Victorian theme. As Cart said we were throwing ideas around the other night.

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea. but I think it may be too restrictive. Lots of top hats, bowler hats and suits. Not much else really. Females would be hard because there is no bell dress that covers everything.

I agree with this. Many SG's have come up with a cossie of tights with a set pattern and colors but still allow things like the head details to be chosen. It can look great if a decent cossie is picked. It would also allow people to still create a hero with it's own reason for its powers and history. But have something like. 'A year ago <the boss> created the group to fight evil and so <insert hero here> joined the group'. I like this Idea the most as I tend to really enjoy having a history behind any toon I play. I like to feel like the toon has a reason for being. I am an RP'er who cant be bothered to act basically.
Maybe we should think about this theme some more? I will play with the editor and come up with some cossie ideas to see if this could work. This is just the trail of thought I am on. If you want something else just say.
Swifty
;D
Currently still thinking earth or fire. But most likely will go Kin secondary.
-
Well since we don't have too long till Swifty skives off for a couple off weeks I suggest we post our character shots and pick which one we base cossies on.
Gotta go out so I'll post mine later. In the meantime picture posting rules are here (http://forum.forlorn-hope.org/index.php?topic=191.0)

KK I just spent a while trying to come up with a new cossie for Sowelu (my old Fire/Kin I am gonna re-make).
They are all the tights with a pattern theme. Simply because this can be adapted to fit any origin. I use block colour and bold patterns to maximise effect. You may notice that most of them have the same shoulders, belt, etc. This is cos I stopped caring after a while. ;D They all have Sowelu's head and reaper mask thing. Please note these is not a required part of any cossie. Same goes for the chest detail. I just used the FH one.
And kind of came up with 6. I still have more ideas but it is now gone 1AM and I have to be up for work at 0430.
So gonna call it a night for now.
Wouldn't want to make an obscenely large post so here are linkies
Pattern is cool but not sure about the colors. Looks very matching 3 peice-ish:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/swiftraid/redcream.jpg
My fav. The Red and blue are really strong together:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/swiftraid/redblue-1.jpg
The modern medic look:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/swiftraid/greenwhite.jpg
Another strong looking one. I like the colours could look good in a group:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/swiftraid/blueyellow.jpg
Not as striking as some of the others, but I used this cossie on Celestial Slayer. I liked it:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/swiftraid/whitegold.jpg
This one shows how tired I became:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/swiftraid/redwhite.jpg
Let me know what you think. more on way. If you wanna se any in a different colour, let me know.
Swifty ;D
-
I like the Red\Cream colours the best.
Other runners were the Blue\Yellow and Red\Blue but imaging a team full of them made my eyes water, the contrast between the colours was a little strong

Thoughts noted, how about the White as a base colour then? If you guys have any ideas please speak up.
...
Except for jimmy.
:P
One other thing I though I would mention...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/swiftraid/screenshot_2005-06-15-21-41-43.jpg
Are we getting way into a theme? The Fallout has a VERY striking look just from SG colours. Every toon was individual yet they looked as a whole once in SG mode. Maybe make it more simple?
I know the FH colours are grey and red. Maybe start a new SG and just pick colours / chest detail? then allow free roaming with cossies. Or just ask people to base their toons on 2 or 3 colours and still use FH as the SG?
-
I'd be happy with either identical colours or very similar costumes (mainly chest\legs - individualise for head and accessories).
As for starting a new SG - FH does need a prestige boost as Villians has been our main game for many months ;)
-
I think white would be fine. All white perhaps with complete freedom on cossies?
-
Relating to the fallout it was nice to see a variety in cosi details. I recon that we should choose the SG colours and use them when teaming. That way we would all get the right shades and can be easily changed if people dont like the colours or we just want a change.
-
Disappointed the costume suggestions are so sane.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f253/Cyberyeti/suxx.jpg
This toon is called T3h Suxx4n4t0r and he thinks his costume's the height of fashion. (Has something to do with being shot by an AV's n00bitron).

On a more serious note, how about a set of colours and a vague theme and let people then do their own thing.
Red/Black, must have horns and tail
Cream/Burgundy, bodysuit
Shocking pink/Green chaos leather
Orange/black seminaked catgirls
as examples.
The two colours should be specified precisely (ie row 4 column 5 or whatever) to avoid different reds being used by everybody.
Steve

Oooooh, red/black with horns and tail.....
Forlorn Devils? Sounds more villainy than heroey though. But does that even matter?

That was the point of an idea with a bit of freedom, you thought devil, I thought minotaur, there are lots of possibilities with something like that.

Thinking about it <insert obligatory joke here> we're after a themed costume or particular pattern, as we should all be good little SG groupies and generating prestige, the colours are set.

No requirement to adjust your costume to SG colours/emblem while in SG mode, many of my toons don't, but not averse to SG colours.

DoH! See this is what happens when I post under the influence of work :P
-
Following a discussion online, the suggestion was that we just set the first costume up as SG colours, with a tights based costume.
My own view is that given that we can use supergroup mode to generate this, the original costume should be a 'dress in the dark' epic which we can view in the privacy of our base, laugh, and switch into SG mode to go out in public.

Maybe we should put a request in Jay's costume thread asking for "odd socks" as an option, or as several options, "because sometimes Heroes dress in the dark too" :D
-
*Ahem*
If people wish to model their costumes this weekend give me a shout, as I'll probably be on with K'naa, I'll sort out SG invites :)
Incidentally if people wish to join in for some Heroic action this weekend then I've got a load of AV\EB portal missions and am always happy for a damage sponge little help
-
errrrmmmm. That sounds worringly like progress...
KK, well, after tonight I am away for 2 weeks.
Have fun and I will see you when I get back.
As a reminder, all this starts on Sat 2nd Sept. All day on Sat and then every tues night after from 1930 - 2230.
Later all!
Swifty ;D
-
Have created Jararaca Pintada, lvl 2 science warshade who is now in AP having got his isolator badge.
Swifty created seismic shift and we are both in the SG.
As a suggestion, not everybody will have done the PB/WS content, so do we want to do that as we go up ?
Mino
-
Personally I am up for the sewers to start. Get to 10 and then use mino's
Taxibot warshade to make the hollows fly by. But I am up for the arc if others want to.
Swifty is so close to 50 now I wouldn't mind having the PB arcs a bit of a surprise.
Also, pls note: Have created roster thread.
Other pls note: Gonna be away for 2 weeks now. Will try to get some net acess. If not, see you in 2 weeks ;D
-
Looks like I may be able to join this upcoming venture after all - something about playing WoW tuesday nights not being good for your elf :(
Also found I have free slots on Infinity.
Probably make a defender, either Emp/* or Sonic/*
What's the low-down on costume design these days?
-
As a member of this elf group I now am free to participate. I only have COH BTW.
In terms of costume suggestions my vote would be that we go the the classic 1950's hero archetype - cliche and bold colours. Things like the old Green Lantern, Superman or Flash.
The only question I would ask is should we all be child size so that we look like a bunch of children?
I really like the idea of classic "stars and stripes" costumes though, most people design their characters on COH like X-men but we could really go for the old style Avengers type super team
We're starting from lvl 1 right?
.. and whem do we start?

My understanding is that we already have 8:
Mino - Warshade
Swifty - Earth/kin cont
Naam - Sonic/nrg def
Awe - Mind/? cont
Jimmy - Dark/psi def
Prythos - Ill/FF cont
Carthis - Storm/dark def
Skarlet - Emp/nrg def
Steve aka mino
-
Yay ;D Good to see you around again Twylyte
Whilst Minotaur is right, we've got a full group, how about doing a reservist character?
Jimmy and Awe are still a little unsure of connection status when they get back to Uni at the moment, people won't be able to play for whatever reason one week...
Colours are simple at the moment, SG colours on your legs. This may change when costume slots open up though.
First session is September 2nd s if nothing else you're guaranteed a chat ;)

Ah, yes, I vaguely remember typing that...
Will do a roster post as soon as I can get pictures in and out of costume and photoedit them to my liking...
-
SG colours - what are they?
- willing to bet that out of eight somebody drops each weak. If not we could always split that week we'd have at least 5/4(?)
yea would like to start playing COH again.

You can create the costume with any colours you like, SG colours are grey/dark red, and if you play in SG mode, you can override the normal colours of the costume with the SG ones (in a customizable fashion from within the SG tab). The idea was that the costume would be based on tights. If you have a look at the roster thread, you'll see what people have done so far.

That's a not unreasonable bet ;). But due to the design of the group (Defenders and Controllers) you generally need at least 6 for it to work well properly as the group relies on being able to buff and debuff a hell of a lot for maximum effectiveness. Groups of 4 and 5 will work but they don't convey the sheer awesomeness that you get from a full 8 man team going up against a dozen +4s while barely breaking a sweat ;D
If you're up for playing though just pop on most nights, there's normally someone around :)
-
Noooooo! I cannot make the first Saturday! Oh forsake! Oh woe is me and all my screaming fans!
Tuesdays are still good though :)
Cart
-
I was informed last night that the intention was to start about 12 on Saturday at which time I'll most likely be down the pub. Is it worth me preemptively bagging a few levels ? I expect to be back about 3 but may be off again about 7 for a curry, not sure yet.
Mino
-
That's fine Min - I think we were roughly aiming at level 15 before declaring the day a success, so 12ish start to 3pm I'd guesstimate a L7-8 wouldn't feel out of place :)
As an aside and before we start tomorrow a few points....
Wherever possible our first set of contacts will be Mins' WS arc
We'll need a quick show of hands\tentacles about TFs - do we do them soonest or wait till near the end of the qualifying levels to do them
Arcs will be done, we'll alternate between players so that everyone gets a shot at arc completion bonuses. We'll have to talk about Minotaur as he'll be getting them more often
For the first day could we please refrain from levelling congratulations messages - you're welcome to call me a grumpy bastard, I prefer pragmatic, but we've got a full team who are all levelling at about the same time. It'll get messy :P

Would suggest we aim to do roughly what NTF's team weds does. Pick up the mission badges and do the WS stuff first then go for the TF once we're ready. If you want to head for the sewers, I have done the 1-4 and 5-9 WS arcs before.
One thing that's all gone quiet, they said that when the police radio came in (hero NP mishs) they'd bring in mission sharing, but haven't heard anything about that.
Mino
-
I'm hesitant about aiming to get all the mission badges partly because of the extra work required to keep track of who issues it and getting the appropriate mission and partly because most of us already have a badge whore character - doing two BWs would probably drive me mad(der) :P
As I said, Spelunker and Doctors Ally are Accolade requesites - I'm more than happy to grab badges that lead to accolades :)
EDIT: Probably going to be easier to have a show of hands when we're on :)
-
Have got JP to level 7, see you about 3
Mino
-
Certainly was a lot of fun yesterday. Can't wait for more, really liking the ill set so far and what it lacks in strength makes up for in useability. incidentally I have a driving lesson Tuesday so not likely to be on til about 9. (future lessons have been altered :))
Pry.
-
Glad you had a good time, as did I.
KK next time round will be this coming Tues at 1900hrs.
Being late shouldn't worry pry. We are already ranging from lvl 7-10 so catching up at this level should not be a problem.
As for future plans. I have the contact for the spellunker badge, but the bugger wants us to do an arc first. Then it is missions til 14ish and then the posi TF. (prob will be split over 2 weeks.) Then just 35 levels to go :)
Swifty
-
Had a couple of thoughts...
One was for a damn good photo op :) This'll probably need Demo editing - mind having a prod at it Skar?
Second was Level 20 - rather than going through the fuss of choosing second costume, how about we all get identical capes? We've all got a character who's capable of wearing them so everyone get to the tailors and grab a screenie of what you think it should look like :)
-

We'll have to record a demo next time (I doubt anyone thought to record one on saturday?)
-
After a quick straw poll tonight...
Could everyone work on getting their characters to Level 12 and sorted for DOs before next the next Tuesday session please :)
-
To aid in this if you want some cash Swifty has some going spare.
Saves muling / using the enhancy bin.

Doing it on Psycho Sword the Enhancy bin is actually easier. Two trips for L12 and three for L17 at L50 speed :)

Anyone need an empath tagalong for a few missions? Maybe tonight, Fri or Sat? Just to help me get to 12?
Pwease?

Mylena made it to level 12 last night, with a Pick Up Group. She got plenty of healing practice...
The group, consisting of 8 members fairly evenly spread in levels between 6 and 14, entered a Frostfire mission - belonging to one of the level 14s :o
After the first team wipe (by the entrance) we sidekicked the 6 and (after much discussion) the 8, and tried again.
Mylena, barely able to contain the urge to laugh ;D, kept them alive almost to the elevators, at which point someone turned to one of the 14s (who had no sidekick) and suggested he sidekick Mylena. However by then she had ticked over to level 12...
Shortly after we abandoned the mission :-\
Mylena ended up teamed with a group of Brazilians, speaking mainly Portuguese, who still made more sense than the first group 8)
-
Well you know how good it's going to get when the sentence includes both "pick up group" and "Hollows" ;)

Well, I knew I needed the healing practice ;)
However, much respect to my Brazilian friends! They really knew their stuff - we were taking on 17's with a group of levels {5,12,14}, then we added a 16 and started taking on 19's - much fun :D
-
Given the date I'm proposing a one night uniform change. See Naaman if you need some cash :)

Count me in!
-
Looks like we're taking a weeks holiday :(
Skarlet's away, Carthis can't make it due to pesky RL issues and Coldway or I will be running late as we're needed to babysit next doors kids.
I'll be around to make sure people know
-
Ummm, about these RL things...looks like I wont be able to make tomorrow either :-(
Sorry fellas
-
I'm postponing the Inf team that was proposed last night until next week :(
Naaman still has enough to bankroll anyone in the Hopefuls who needs it though so no need to panic, it's just my BW side has gone into full "SHINY!!! :o" mode
-
Looks like Me and Piglet won't be able to make it on this coming Tuesday (16th) :(
We're meeting some 'up North' friends for a meal and drinks before they fly out to LA (if it had only been a meal I'd have postponed, it was the beer that swung it :P)

Suspect that means we're not doing it as I'm not sure if we can complete it with 4, unless we want to take it up to the last mish which might be an idea as it will shorten the time the others are out next week.

Well, after Clamour, you're welcome to try and finish it :) I mean, what's the worst that can happen :P
-
By the 23rd i could be back up and running for some villian 'arresting'. So is the TF still going and if not what lele have everyone got to?

We finished Moonfire tonight, if you can just ding 27 for next week you won't be far out.
Mino

just letting everyone know I won't be available tonight as I have a birthday drink thingy to go to, also chances are Prythos (aka Damsel of Distress) won't be on either as he's been invited as well. sorry people.
-
Still stuck at work :( Tariff is being a pig this month.
I'll be on when I can tonight
-
Well as I think Jimmy's subs have expired and it sounds like he's not renewing them for educational and financial reasons, suspect we can call that a washout.
Mino :(
-
w00t!
Been paid and myannual inspection is next monday.
So I will be logging back in and will be back next tues.
What lvl are we at now?
-
Yeah Mins right, my subscription has expired now so i will not be back till about end of may/early june.

Well I'm 1/4 of a bar shy of 29, but there's quite a wide range.
*edit - well I was, decided to clear my Wincott missions while I looked to see if anybody else logged on, and because they award their XP after you leave, I got XP for the -13 missions and levelled */edit

Those damn exams again? :( Damn the knowledge based elitist cartel that concoted such a heinous thing :P
-
Nah dont have exams till April through to may, i am just struggling to find the time to get on lately due to essays and the general student life.
-
...and the general student life.
Drinking then? :P Huzzah (http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/Mongrel01/slaps/alc.gif)

Well I suppose it's a good thing we didn't start Citadel last night, since we'd have logged on next week to find we weren't on the TF.
*pasted from known issues as they'll probably fix it soon*
There is a current issue that, when disconnecting from the server for whatever reason, if you are in a Trial, Strike Force or Task Force, you will no longer be in that Strike Force or Task Force when you log back in. This is an unintended change and we are working to correct it. Until a correction can be put in place, we recommend that players who experience unstable connections hold off on engaging in Task Force, Trial or Strike Force missions.

May have to start the TF either early or late. Oh Crumbs probably won't be up for playing as she's got to drive back from Birmingham at half fiveish.
I am babysitting for next door for an unknown period of time starting at 7:30 but can take the laptop but I need to be at home to log OC in...
Meh - see how it goes :)
-
Ok, due to poor weekly attendance a decision has been made to put the Hopefuls on a short break :(
We're going to re-introduce them once Swifty and\or Jimmy are back.
-
Just for a heads up, i finish uni on the 21st of may, so i will be on sometime after that. Anyone know when swifty is getting back? I just cant do without my little SB bud.... i mean awesome team mate ;)

Tomorrow maybe?

Not sure I can do that, need to write sufficient D&D for 15 hours play and tidy the house by the weekend, have 2 lines of text, NBC suit, skip, pick and shovel so far ...
Next week however ...
Mino

Hi guys.
Haven't been playing much city recently but would like to get back into it, and woul be up for hopefuls action. I have however lost interest in my hopefuls toon. Any objections to me swapping? I rolled out a rad/rad def a cpl weeks back. Is only lv 6 right now but am working on it.
-
Probably looking at 19th of May to restart :) Plenty of time to get yer levels :)

June perhaps ?
Mino
-
Yep, I'm up for June definitely. Sooner the better :) Might be a few days before I'm back in action as I just had to reinstall my OS for the squillionth time last night. What better thing can you do on a Sunday night anyway?
Much as I'd like to get Cart to 50 I'm just going to work on my troller as he was kinda dragging his heels before..
-
KK Just re-spec'd sowelu and bought another cossie ;D
Also made a couple of those shiny IO's
His is 26 atm. which seems to be just below avaerage lvl of 27ish.
Pry, if you want, we could use the double XP W/E to lvl up your raddy a bit. Give swifty a shout if you want it.
Would anyone be able to bridge?
-

I may be able to fit you in between "getting up sometime in the afternoon" and "Going out to get drunk" ;)
-
Doesn't look as though I'll be around next week (11th - 18th), we're on holiday and it's not looking good for internet access :(.
-
I will also be away next week till the following weekend. So i dont know if people just want to catch up on their hopefuls for the following week or what not.
-
Not gonna be able to make it on tonight , got some stuff that needs sorting.
sry all
-
Does not look like i will be able to make it next week, got social thingy where i sign up for some sailing. Just let me know where you guys get up to in the arcs and ill catch up during the week.
-
Not gonna be able to make it on the 2nd of oct :( - got an evening of Oesteoporosis!
Sorry

Well that sounds like much more fun :P
-
Can we get some sort of roll call for tomorrow please, as if I know by about 4.30 on any given evening that we're going to call it off, I have an alternative engagement I can always go to, but it's useless and frustrating for me to find out at 7.
Mino
-
will be on this week
-
I'll be around :)
-
Hiya,
I am not sure if I am going to be on this coming Tuesday 27th Nov.
Cheers
BB
-
Just got a call from Swifty - his internet is still broke so won't be on again :(
-
Shiny new drive turned up today ;D
Unfortunately this means I'll probably be re-installing Windows tonight so count me as a no-show :(
-
Swifty has called in sick for tonights session :(
-
calling in sick again :(
Just got back from work and I am headining straight to bed
I take it next week is off but will be about for the week after if it is on
-
After some deliberation we're starting up again on the 8th :)
-
A forward warning here that i will not be attending the hopefuls for both the 8th and the 15th of jan. Should be around for the 15th though.
-
Looks like the 8th is off then, Swifty has mentioned that he can't do it and Bio is up in Nottingham or somewhere with 'work'...
-
*sigh*
BB is coming back from Leyland this evening and poorly to boot, Jimmy is revising (Good luck!) and apparently Swifty has let his sub lapse to PL in WoW...
Since we can still make 6 with Brodski's help :) I'm happy to do it tonight
-
I may be slightly late tonight, but Im in.
-
My old machine really isn't up to this, so I'm going to go out and play bridge instead. It's possible you'll see me on anyway as the bridge is sometimes short of numbers.
Mino
-
Result, I'm officaially back online with a sensible PC, although you might not see much of me till the weekend as I have a load of OU stuff to catch up on. The guy had to drive up from near London for 10 minutes work swapping the graphics card.
Mino
-
I have something of a problem. My work has decided to be a royal pain in the ass and change my hours. They have moved my late shift to a Tuesday night meaning I wont finish work til 8pm and with the commute wont be home til around 9pm :( Looks like you guys will have to carry on without me, at least for the short term til I can sort something out.
-
I won't be on this week, have been invited to a pancake party for Shrove Tuesday, and given that choice, the winner was inevitable.
-
Won't be on this week - attempting to get into Harrow for CPD evening :-\
BB
-
Since it appears we're moving a little slowly on the Hopefuls and getting a bit fragmented level wise... :(
I suggest we set aside a weekend day sometime in the near future to get a good 6-8 hours playtime in, that allows the lower levelled people to catch up* and gets everyone a nice fat chunk of XP and loot :)
I'm thinking of doing it mid 40s as that allows us to use the auto-exemp feature of the oub missions, so given our current levelling speed we're probably looking at a month or so to plan it.
Any thoughts?
*If you are trailing behind a little a) Give me a shout when I'm churning radio missions, Scrappers love buffs :) , b) Grab some current level missions and call them in for the completion bonus, you can do this every 3 days now so can make a difference.

Was going to suggest we did the catch up on the shard TFs, do Quaterfield when some people are close enough to 45 that they'll cap out and allow the others to gain ground. Also will make it quicker if at least some people are max level.
-
Either way is good, personally I favour the Oub stuff as travelling is easier :)
-
I would prefer the orb stuff too, im not a fan of the shard Tf's as they all are really really long.
-
orb sounds good.
As for when. I have just booked some time off work (march 15th-23rd, cos of the bank holidays it only cost me 4days holiday ;D )
Maybe some time then?
-
March sounds good, it’ll give me chance to level Darkness At Noon up a bit so I’m not leaching too much.
On and I won’t be on tonight BTW, I’m off to a pub quiz in Hackney. If I make it back alive I’ll be on next week ;)
-

Min I'm assuming you're doing your Bridge\Curry thing on the Saturday

I'm out of commission all that weekend playing bridge, but as I seem to be reasonably well up on the XP, that may not be a problem.
-
Due to staff shortages my hours have been amended so next week I can make the Hopefuls. unfortunately this is for one week only at present..
-
I may not be on very long on sunday, just to give people a warning, got a surprise exam on monday, yay.
-
and before anyone states how i know because its a surprise, he told us today (being friday) so that kind of surprise.
-
As long as i am out of my 'speshal home' by then I will be up for the 16th
-
Going to be a little late tonight, baby sitting next doors spawn.
Will be there for 7:30ish
-
I might not make it tonight - more CPD fun in Harrow. But it depends what the traffic's like I guess
BB
-
im Highly doubtful for tonight as well as i have work to do for wed morning.
-
K :(
It's a scrub tonight then
Would changing the night work better, Thursday perhaps?
And don't forget the push this weekend - Sunday starting about 2ish. Oub missions till we're all 45 then see what we can do :)

I already have a similar although more villainous arrangement on a Thursday.
Didn't realise you were intending to push on that far.
-
As always we're going to be making it up as we go along but I think 45 is achievable for everyone :)
-
..or mebbe not :(
Connection problems and log in server issues galore >:(
Anyway, 'fraid I won't be on for the tomorrow, going up to London for the evening
-
i wont be on for the hopefuls night tomorrow, may be missing the following week too, but i will have loads of free time after that so im happy to play catch up
-
Whats the current average level of the hopefuls? Just so I know how far I need to catch up.
-

Believe we've just hit 46.
I won't be around this week, a couple of friends are off down the registry office and partying afterwards.
-
Anyone up for a couple of hours over Bank Holiday Monday?
-
Playing a bridge match starting early evening, but might be up for something during the day.
-
I should be about on the bank holiday
-
Hi Guys - won't be able to make it on the 20th I'm afraid.
Cheers

Since it looks like we may be getting I12 today and Swifty has already told me that if it's true he'll be rolling up a VEAT...
If I12 is going live today who else would rather get a VEAT going than playing the Hopefuls?
<puts hand up> :P
-

Yes, although Swifty/Jimmy were going to do this on Liberty which is a server full of heroes for me, so I'd rather do it on Prot (if the new slots are live) or Triumph if they're not.
As an alternative, we could do the midnight squad intro with either the hopefuls or our main 50s and do the Cimerora TF.
-
Eeekkkkk - too many choices .... head asploding.......
-
If its I12 I will eat my hat!
You might want to go find some tasty sauce...
From Ghostraptor on the EU boards, think it's I12
-
The patch on the updater just updated me to version 17. It is here!
Tis true, I will be on Liberty. Reason for this is because of a large group I have started teaming with. (Means I can almost always get a team that isn't a PUG).
I also have over 100mil on red side so I can splash some cash out if needed.
Oh, and I am going widow, prob Fortunata
-
Not looking good for next week (3rd June) as both Bio Boy and Moto Doc are off on holiday (separately).
-
not gonna be on tonight either. It has gone mad at work and have to put in some overtime
-
I think we can safely call this a wash tonight.
-
As discussed tonight the plan for the hopefuls is to finish them up (with aid from Naam ;D) and attempt a Impervious Task Force probably on one of the upcoming weekends for an end of the Hopefuls Grand Finale.
-
What is the status of the hopefuls at the moment? MH is currently 49 now and will probably whore herself out to get to 50. Did anyone hit 50 on Tues or close?
-
Got Min to 49 and got Moto and Skar some good Xp (once they learnt to stand back ;))
Should be on tonight so give me a shout ;D
-

They were getting good XP before that, just that only half of it was constructive.
-
Got Min to 49 and got Moto and Skar some good Xp (once they learnt to stand back ;))
I usually estimate my projected XP based on half the real rate anyway...
-
Is the hopefuls happening this week ? I'll sign up for a TF elsewhere with Eurocore if not.
-
I'll be dragging people through some more L50 missions if they want to, your choice really :)
-
im very, very very, doubtful for tonight. System still playing up and i think i only have one option left which is a format and start installing the drivers off a USB which only has the latest drivers on it.
-
I'll be doing a Tarikoss SF at 7, but will be along about 8.15 I suspect.
-
Hola I intend to be on for Hopefuls tonight although I suspect I may have to have a row with my flatmate 1st :s
I hope to be here for the start but if I dash of that may be why.
