  1. Cheesecake > cupcakes > pie > bacon.

    That is all.
  2. Preparing to lead a Rikti mothership raid, only for the server to go boom just before you start.
  3. Just a reminder that this is tomorrow. It will be an evacless Hamidon raid, with Cherry leading.

    Hope to see y'all in the Hive tomorrow. Don't forget that we will hunt monsters in Peregrine Island for EoEs tonight as well, at 8:30 P.M. ET / 5:30 P.M. PT.
  4. Lol. Yeah. Sorry about that, y'all, but I was left with little choice but to cancel tonight's Rikti mothership raid. The lag, mapserves, and disconnects were / are horrendous. It took me a while to finally get back on, and when I did, two minutes later, another mapserve and disconnect. Sigh. This royally sucks.

    We'll try this again in two weeks.

    We'll alternate Blue side raids 1 week with Red side raids the next.
    Hit the Abyss or The Hive each Saturday @ 7 east to form teams. We'll roll @ 7:30 or when the zones fill.

    Interested in leading a team? Send a tell to :
    Red Side: @Llewthor or @Llewthor2
    Blue Side: @Cherry-2000, @Celestial Lord, or @Fanged Knight
    May whatever God you believe in have mercy on your souls.

    Oh, and feel free to send one of us a PM on the forums as well if tells don't work for you.
  6. I'm starting to feel like I'm talking to myself in this thread, but we're on for tonight. However, there will be no Rikti mothership raid next week as I'm quite sure y'all would rather enjoy Going Rogue. See y'all in the War Zone tonight, and again in two weeks.
  7. I chose Champion three years ago 'cause I was told by several friends that it was the server to go to for red side action.

    Bastards.
  8. What: Blue side monster hunt for Essence of Earth inspirations

    Where: Peregrine Island

    Date: Friday, August 13, 2010

    Roll out: 8:30 P.M. ET / 5:30 P.M. PT

    Bring: (Preferably level 50) Blasters, Controllers, Defenders, Peacebringers, Scrappers, Tankers (preferably with Taunt), and Warshades.
  9. Welcome to City of Heroes and the Champion server, Nippy. The only people that can answer your first question definitively work for NCSoft, and honestly, I doubt they will. However, I've gotten the impression that as of right now, it's more former veteran players returning to the game than newer players. That may change after the expansion releases next week.

    Defender is an excellent choice. All ATs are viable, it just depends on what you want to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, or in the Player Questions section.

    I would advise you to join the BMT of Champion and / or Champions United global channels if you have not done so already. Send @Cobalt Azurean or @Force a tell for an invite to BMT of Champion. You'll find people forming teams, hunting giant monsters, setting up raids, etc. there.
  10. The new Martial Arts buffs.
  11. Thanks to everyone that helped out with the impromptu blue side EoE hunt last night, it was much appreciated.
  12. It was mentioned on BMT of Champion that Hamidon was spotted in the Hive. Surely he was planning on more sneak attacks against unsuspecting raiders. I thought to myself, "I've got this."

    I flew from the Rikti War Zone to the Hive at a brisk 58 MPH.





    I began my assault on Hamidon. Three seconds later:



    ...

    That's right. Hamidon hit me so hard, my clothes fell off. :\

    • The Stoned Templars
    • Dual Blades
    • Kicking Rikti butt
    • Seeing the server come together to accomplish a goal
    • Email attachments
    • Dual Blades
    • Kicking Rikti butt

    Yes, I know Dual Blades and kicking Rikti butt are listed twice, but that's just how awesome they both are.

    Heh. Thankfully, you still have to be level 45+ to get in the Hive or the Abyss, at least. It still irks me that the level requirement was removed from the War Zone. I ask everyone that comes to my mothership raids to bring level 35+ toons, but I obviously can not boot them from the zone nor the raid. So, I just make sure everyone that I invite to my mothership raid team is at least level 35, and hope others that lead teams do likewise.
  14. From the "First Thing That Comes to Mind" thread...

    Let's pretend. Some big Hollywood director wants to make a movie about the Champion server. Who would you like to act as you? You can pick any actor or actress, alive or dead.

    Myself? Danny DeVito.

    Okie, apparently, all the North American servers will be taken offline in a half hour for emergency maintenance, with an expected downtime of two hours.

    It's a game-wide issue on all of the North American servers apparently that started after this morning's maintenance. Hopefully it'll be cleared up before the mothership raid tonight. :P
  17. This is on for tonight. See y'all in the War Zone by 8:30 P.M. ET / 5:30 P.M. ET, and let's kick some Rikti butt.
  18. Makes me wish I had a corruptor. Going Rogue can't get here soon enough...

    Good luck, y'all.

Once the greens are taken care of, it's not too difficult to stand up to Hami itself.

    Having a few Tanks taunt the greens would help alleviate most of the pain in doing this I think. I'd suggest something with a heal like Fire or Dark Tanks to do this job.
    Not that I've tested this myself, but word on the street is that Green Mitos are both untauntable and unplacatable.
  20. Fantastic guide, thank you. One very minor nitpick: Green Mitos need mag 50 holds, not mag 100.
  21. I'll let you know when I find out.
