So we plowed through it in 1h57m. It was a little tough on one of the LB missions...we had a few team wipes. But overall, much XP was gained by all. :^)

Next Wednesday-I'm thinking Ice Mistral SF, but Mikey may not be 35. Backup plan is a treespec, just for kicks. Be there or, uh...don't be.

Shameless bump!

Renault SF, 7 pm Central time, Wednesday, 6/9/10!

We WILL be plowing, so bring something you want lots of expees on. :^)

I lol'ed. :^)

Ah, that explanation makes sense to moi, Snow. So it's a threshold...pass the threshold, and it'll count. Fall short of that +HP threshold, and it won't.

A delayed update-we did Silver Mantis, complete and total plow, in 1h36m. :^)

Of course, we had 4-5 VEATS on the team, which may have contributed to the chaos and mayhem we caused.

Next Wednesday, 6/9/10, 7 pm Central time...Renault Strike Force! And yes, I think we may plow again. Seemed like a good way to get a lot of expees/prestige/levels. Hope to see y'all out there!

You all need professional help....

But I lol'ed, hard. :^)

Just thought I'd pop in here to announce it, too-think I'm going to make the Silver Mantis sf this Wednesday a total plow. Only mission we might short just a LITTLE bit is the last one...those damn flyers can get a bit tedious.

So, Wednesday, 6/2/10, 7 pm CST, full-on PLOW Silver Mantis SF! C'mon out and help us grind ourselves into oblivion!

I'm curious-say you make a 2nd build (alternate build) just for this purpose. You specifically slot NO IO sets, so as to avoid any +health. IIRC, you need to overcome any +health from accolades and/or sets before the damage even STARTS to count towards your damage badges, no?

Okay, so you swap to your 2nd build, get yourself set up. Get your badge. Now, you swap back to your main build that is all purpled out. ;^)

Is that kosher-can it be done that way? It SEEMS like it's viable. Just curious because I have several characters that have some pretty big +health bonuses, which would make this much much harder to get. Thoughts?

Reminder: Silver Mantis SF (yup, we're gonna be baaaaaad), Wednesday 6/2/10, 7 pm Central time. Hope to see y'all out there being eeeee-vil. :^)

Nah, I'm still doing a mix of stealth/plow, unless we're specifically on a team with nothin' but Bulldozers. :^)

But we did well-Manti in 1h3m. Next week, Silver Mantis SF!

Usual shameless bump-Manticore tonight, 7 pm Central time!

Not sure if we'll be able to get the 7 people together or not, but we're going to try for it. Our backup plan may be either a Numina or a respec (1st or 2nd one, depending on people who are on board).

Next week, we're going redside-I'm thinking Silver Mantis sf next Wednesday...stay tuned! :^)

May have resolved my issue-it appears it was linked to a particular mission. I am now at lvl25, and I was trying to run a lvl22 mission from Darrin Wade in Sharkhead (the Avenge Starr mission).

Other missions are running fine. I've abandoned that mission and retaken it from the contact, so I'll try it again and see if I still get weird LCTMS errors on it, specifically.

Okay-so I can log in. Then, I can play-for about 2-4 minutes. Then, I get a 'Lost Connection to Map Server' error which stalls me out. I get booted to log-in, try to relog back in...and the game starts giving me 'Can't connect to DBServer' errors and won't even let me in again.

I can reboot comp, and issue repeats itself essentially exactly as above. Let's see, basic specs: Win7, AMD Phenom II Quad chip, big-**** ATI graphics card (that huge brick of a one, I always forget the number).

Problem seems to have come up just in the last 24-48 hours. Haven't downloaded any new software or files, the problem just sort of popped up.

Going to try running the game on the backup (old) computer to see if the problem persists, and then will try recycling modem/router. I think either of these should show me if the problem is on my end-but I'm willing to accept any advice/assistance anyone can lend me in the meantime.

Ditto on wanting in, plz, tyvm. :^)

@fiftycalsniper

I think I'm also middle of the road. I don't mind a speed to accommodate RL stuff (which is why we tend to speed the W night tf's...Mikey always has baby mama drama going on), but plowing is awesome for the expeeeeeees! However, sometimes full-on 8-man team spawns tend to feel like a grind.

I think a really beautiful tf/sf is set for about 5-6 teammates, then plow through it all. That's a good blend of fast and fun, without feeling like a grind. My kind of setup. But I like the overall idea of the channel, and would love an invite, plz.

Bah, I should've done this. I think I just missed it...been really busy with work lately. Any plans for this Saturday, or next?

I have my daughter this Saturday, so I'm not sure I can commit, but we'll see what time y'all might be running something. :^)

I'm in, 6:15 pm PST on Sunday, 5/23/10.

I'll bring my kat/reg scrapper, Zho Mama. See you then!

Think we missed ya, Magenta....hope you got a good snooze. :^)

We managed to scrape together 5 people, and Miki helped us to get going before jumping ship. With 5 (2 scraps, a tank, a defender, and a 'troller) it was actually just about right. The spawns weren't so big that it felt like a grind, and we polished it off quite quickly (1h5m).

So then-next week I'd like to do Manticore. I think after that, we may have our villains high enough to start doing a SF or so in the following couple of weeks, if anyone's interested in moving redside for a change-up.

Hope to see you guys there! :^)

Usual shameless Wednesday bump!

We're doing Citadel tonight at 7 pm Central time. Remember, these things are pretty fast, pretty easy way of getting merits (since the market is so dry for good recipes right now, why not just buy them outright at the level you want with the merits?). Not to mention...EXPEES! :^)

So, hope to see y'all out there.

Also, me and Mikey finally bit the bullet and made a couple of villains on Triumph. So, in the next couple of Wednesdays, we may shift it up and do some SF's instead of TF's. Again, MERITS and EXPEES! :^) REDSIDE! :^)

Carry on!

Good showing tonight-we pulled in 7 for Sister Psyche, did it in roughly an hour and half. Stealthed some, killed some, it was all good. Clamor went down like Jared from Subway's pants without a belt.

So, next week, Wednesday, 7 pm Central...next up in the series, Citadel tf! Be there or...uh, be somewhere else! :^)

::Shameless bump::

Doing Sister Psyche tf tonight at 7 pm Central time. Hope to see some of y'all out there...the regular march towards the 6-TF accolade continues onwards!!!! :^)

::/End Shameless bump::

We managed to put together a team pretty quickly last night-we punched out a Synapse tf in 1h43m. We had a lot of fun doing it, and people got some levels...and 58 merits at the end isn't too shabby, either! :^)

Next week-Sister Psyche tf, 7 pm Central time, 5/12/10! Hope to see y'all out there!

I agree we should do another one...maybe a Manticore? That can be fun to power-damage through. :^)

So who might be up for a Synapse or Sister Psyche tf this Wednesday night? Haven't done one of the low level ones in a while, and the new Posi whet my appetite for them.

Thoughts/participants? :^)

I'm in on my latest project, a (currently 27) katana/regen scrapper. I *love* scrappers, so this is a perfect sort of thing for moi. See y'all then on Zho Mama.
