The next double xp weekend

[fredbobjimmy]

By having a bit of a look around the web it has been speculated that the next double xp weekend will be

July 18th - 21st

Still need to wait to confirmation though

[Naaman]

I'm reasonably sure the info came direct from the Devs as part of the NCsoft\I12 bumph

Can't read it because of the Firewall at work but cohvault.ign.com seems to have it covered

[fredbobjimmy]

The 4 year calendar is on the CoH website feature updates page and you download it, or can access it from the above post.

A thought, how stupid are we ...

Posted this on the Eurocore boards, not sure if anybody else is this stupid in FH, but wondering whether it's possible:

Do we have any idea of an event for this ?

One I'd like to run, but not sure if we have enough hardcore idiots to be able to do it - the stuporteam.

The idea is to run a superteam from 1-50 in the double XP weekend. This would be easier on heroes, but could be done on villains to give people with time on their hands and no access to veats instant access.

I reckon it normally takes around 100 hours to run a superteam to 50 excluding WWs time, so half that at 2xXP. The idea would be to have the toons at level 1 with about 3M of twinkage on them at the start, and to save time by just using standard DOs/SOs unless somebody with the crafter badge wants to fill some bins in one of the bases with say 15, 25 and 40 common IOs.

Any thoughts ? I may do this anyway on another server if there's not enough EC interest, or pull in some friends to pad it up to 8.

This is now going ahead on Victory with heroes, Me, Dr Ram and 4 Eurocorers sort of signed up so far. We understand you feel it an obligation to check out the inside of a pub on a Friday night.

A thought, what level is your old fallout toon ? If we don't fill up and you wanted to join us later this may be possible.

I honestly don't remember

Not touched him since it wound down

[Swifty]

hmmm... got a spot for me?  I am trying to lvl up a toon on victory anyway.

[RipRend]

I'll be around a bit on freedom levelling up my 44 blaster (happy to team).  Once that's done I'll probably do some villains on Protector but may join you on Victory if you have the space.

We have 7 definites now me, swifty, doctor ram, prythos and 3 eurocorers and we may have an 8th. Wouldn't surprise me if as we wind on we have spaces from time to time. Do you have some mid to high level toons on Vic ?

A couple of posts from this event, just to update the people who can't see the Eurocore boards:

Current Roster:

1: Mino - will fill hole, start 4pm level 1
2: Laiyna - rad/ice def start 5pm level 6
3: Prom - TA/A def start 6pm level ?
4: @doctor ram, RL friend of mine - sonic/fire blaster- start 6pm level 10-12
5: Ace - Fire/thermal troller - start 5pm level 2
6: @swifty, a member of another SG I hang out with - archery/mental blaster, 4pm level 1.
7: @prythos, as for swifty, plant/emp troller 6pm start, level 10
8:

What should I play ?

I've already done the following which would have done nicely, and don't want to duplicate:

Fire/fire tank
Ice/fire tank
Spines/fire scrapper
Spines/dark scrapper
Ill/kin troller
Fire/kin troller
Fire/fire blapper
Arch/mental blaster

Any suggestions ? was thinking:
DA/FM tank - I see end trouble on the horizon
FA/mace tank (not played a mace toon to any sensible level, 3 AoEs at the end)
Katana/FA scrapper
Fire/mental blaster
Ice/fire blapper

or stick with plan A the plant/kin anyway.

Btw, if you want to join Eurocore (which will get you a lot of teams and weekday evening TFs on Victory) with these toons, go to www.eurocore.org and have a look at the site, then post something on the "introduce yourself and join us" section.

Pry,

Ace seems to have decided that if you're playing an emp, he doesn't fancy playing a thermal so is going with a cold/ice def. Were you actually intending to take many of the empath powers ?

[Swifty]

well the team has no Kin so I would think that to give us the best chance a kin def or conty would be helpful. Otherwise I would say something the mace tanker would be cool.

The emp and cold defs get end management tools, we have -resist coming out our wazoo, I think I'm going katana/fire scrapper.
