Lady Arete

A little question Leandro.
I have a feeling that it is already answered, just wanted a clarification.

Like in the Mothership raids, if one player targets a rikti and does something to it, the entire team gets credit. Is this the same for the Mitos?
If I say have one team member attacking one yellow mito, the entire team gets a chance for a shard drop?

I envy you the quick hamidon raids, we got to plan it ahead for about a week, and then when the day of the Raid comes and the spawning is complete. It ends with me having to fish for more players to attend the raid. (Worst part of the raid really, else it is smooth )

Added a little info on Teams.
What I added could be a bit precise if I had known completely what all AT can do. (I do not, but have a general idea though).
Because of Going Rogue several new AT's will probably find themselves at the Hami Raid.
As I said in first post, the player knows best what their character can do (or should atleast). So i've decided to keep the original text, but in example. Where I write Tanker it really means anyone that can take damage and keep a thing taunted. This would apply for Tanker, Brute and Kheld. If I have written scrapper it means single target melee, etc.

Updated first post with the newest additions to leadership & with the usual time for spawning process of Hamidon.
I hope to get one EoE hunt on Monday/Tuesday, this hunt will have to be lead by another then myself as I'm out of town that day.
The other EoE hunt will take place on Wednesday or Thursday. At some time during prime time I believe (or for sake of ease 6pm gmt )

Hope to see a lot of players in this raid (new and veterans). Here are some reminders:
1. Bring your nukes (as Tyger suggested, we may decide to use them to speed things up?),
2. bring your hospital dayjob temp powers (rez and heal)
3. For melee damage remember to pick up the travel power fly or a temp flight power.
4. Show up early (less time to wait to get the team made and actually fighting).
5. When announcing yourself, it does not help mentioning just your AT. For speedy entry to your team provide information like what your character excels at: Holds, ranged damage, single target melee, healing, tanking buffing, etc...
6. Bring your good mood, as usual.

Heya Union Roleplayers. First sorry that this is not an In char post, but maybe you can make something out of it (rp wise) after the raid has taken place?

Reason I write this here is that I have a notion that I do not reach every player when I announce the Raids on Sals or UTF (and Union Raids), nor do (I think) every player visit the Union server forum.

Together with several of great players I've lead some of the recent Hamidon Raids on our server. Personally I enjoy the knowledge that several players whom never have fought Hamidon before, actually did/do get a chance (and success).

So I've scheduled two raids in the near future; 17'th and 18'th December. Beginning about 6pm GMT (at this time I have hopes that we have spawned Hamidon).
Please check the following links if your interested (to know what to expect):

Hamidon fighting Guide for Union

My Mastermind Bots/Force Field.
For some strange reason, she is just not fun for me to play. Bubbles have to be put up, I just regret choosing force field for my mastermind.
Even though theme was high teck (and force field was sounding far more high teck then Traps).
Its just great for soloing, she is a little less of a hassle now as pets stay when they are summoned.
On my other chars I can see what I want to go for (directional wise) of powers, IO's etc... I have NO idea what to do with my mm.
So she is collecting dust (was my first (and only) villain so far to lvl 50 so I do not want to delete her) in my character screen...

The latest image came out great Caemgen.
Thank you for giving my character a spot in the image
I liked the coloring he did on them both. Seems its captured after a battle, the dust (or is it smoke) settles and our two heroines are relaxing.
Seems the battle went easy on both of them

This is going well so far.
Only need to fill the team leader positions of the Ranged damage, Holder team (both days), and Melee damage team (yellow kill team) for the 18'th.
Having another team leader for back up the 17'th would also be good.

If I get those positions filled, then we got the leadership for the raids.
Hope to see as many people on both the days.

*** Police broadcast***
Primal Earth has been invaded by Rikti and now Praetorians. This should be enough, but apparently there are some beings out there that do not think so. Our reports have confirmed us that the creature known as Hamidon will once more wreck havoc to our city.

******

Right, lets get this show on the road. We have not had a Hamidon Raid for some time, so I think its time we had one... or wait.. maybe not just one but TWO?
Since Issue 19 allows Hamidon to reward heroes with 4 shard bits... and the odds of the Mito's dropping shards aswell... maybe we can get a few going.

Also if players are unable to attend one they get a chance for the one the day after.
Now, for me this means that I will need team players to lead the various teams during the raid... X2.

So please read the guide HERE to know about the Raid & TEAMS.
And post your name on the list below if you want to join in as a leader.
If you want to lead, but is unsure on how, that can be arranged and the rest of us can help you. If you are a veteran, please do jot down your name

All times will be about 6pm GMT
For now I believe it will be BLUESIDE. Unless there is a major want for one of them to be RED side.
EoE hunts will take place before the raid, see Sals and Union Taskforce for announcements.

Edit: For those new to the Raid and old vets of Hamidon, to fight Hamidon, we have to spawn him first. The spawning process will begin about thirty minutes before the start.
There will be a few EoE hunts the next week. I hope to get someone to host the first EoE hunt early in the week (as I am unavailable at that time). Date for EoE hunts will be mentioned in Sals, UTF, Union Raids (and mentioned in URP)
Hopefully we will get a good mix of veterans and players that never have fought the real thing

Happy birthday, may your day be the best one yet.

Sounds great Lady Cyrsei. Going to post my two favorite characters, you may remember them. Feel free to put them in an outfit you want.
Lady Arete


and Cyrene

Nope. Those that were on offer, I already had.
Good that a few had good offers

Hi Pirate Cashoo, sad to hear you have been sick. Good though that your feeling better
If you feel like drawing my character(s) feel free.
Lady Arete is a sorceress from England with a bit of a checkered background.
Lady Arete

Cyrene is a young mutant with a special affinity to song/music. Lately she has gotten in touch with another part of her self; Nature and plants.
(The green outfit is her dryad/nymph outfit that she is becoming, although she is not fully in the know about that yet)
Cyrene

Gratulations Tartyr

For Lady Arete.
Well she is sort of linked or have tapped into some kind of mythical power already. Early in her life she tapped into the power of a phoenix (through magic... one reason of Rise of the Phoenix ) So she is just simply solidifying or getting more connected with it. I would imagine this to be somewhat of incarnate already.
Power wise, due to IO's well she is a powerhouse already so the alpha slot will not benefit her that much
Else I imagine she will go through the in-game story as it is. Atleast as an introduction to become an incarnate proper.

Cyrene
Her mutant body is changing and she has already gotten in touch with her more inner "mythical" self. However it depends upon what kind of powersets we get through out the issues.
Else I plan it to be that she too follows the in-game story arc as it is.
(I actually look forward to play her and fight the first mission in Remiels arc solo... I might be a little sadistic to myself there, if it was not for the solo boost defenders gets)

So looking forward for more info about the next slots that are not alpha slots

Umm ...
How about a combination of a few of them... WITH the normal wit, intelligence and you know human know-how.
A few scripts, some good introductions, filled with quality dialogue.
Mix in some directions from the Devs/Mods, after all the Rp'er would be helping them.

I do not know if the OP meant it as an insult to RP'ers.
I know people do look down on RP'ers.. cause they.. you know get into the personality of the character and (gasp) want to play their character with triumphs and lows like in the comic books.

I hope I never meet the Cyber one... but I have NEVER met the sloth one Steel... Sure a few rp'ers may have some grammar problems, but they get rectified quickly (they want to learn). The Sloth one on your list... Not even sure that would qualify as being a Rp'er. After all Rp'ing demands attentiveness of your sorroundings (all the chat that is around you) and ALOT of typing. The sloth one would not have had the stamina to stay in a RP group.

But your list Steelclaw was humorous as always

edit: Santorican.
RP is Roleplaying. It means that you envision your character with a personality, background, likes and dislikes and interact with other players (and their characters) as the person you play. Meaning you do not just think about your character as a certain AT with those powerset and costume you chose, but as a living person, with reasons of being a villain or hero. Imagine playing Spiderman or any other character in the comics, or if you wanted to be a Batman like character... or any character.
RP'ing happens with other players that think like you do (if you roleplay) and you interact with them and you will create stories... just in game. Well that is the short gist of it.

Got to chip in here aswell.
That was a great clockwork image.
Abit dark, steam punk... soulless automatons.

Wow Bindweed, that last one was... wow. The action, the detail, the expression. That girl... really do not like the other one!

Lets see. I tried to envision your character Hybrid.
A hunter.. a hunter of capes. Captured... oh the humiliation. He gets breaked out and used to take down a super villain.

For your goal (hate all superpowered beings). Lets see. I'd go with the "i'm better with you" approach. After all strip a super powered being of their power and what do they have?.. nothing. Whilst you have your skills.
Also your character has excelled enough (and has the teck) to defeat super powered beings.
You could use a "protect the little guy". Power corrupts, total power corrupts all. Better if everyone was non-powered. After all a superpowered being with no skills will get better treatment then a normal person with skills.

In the beginning he could have been bypassed by someone who showed themselves with a uncompetable talent. Someone who outclassed him in everything (well it was the superpowers that did it, not the beings skills) (grumble grumble )

This guy has alot of potencial for being full of resentment of super powered beings, always seeing their faults, not their good side. All their deeds put in a bad light (oh yes the person used a wall to save himself (and the humans trapped).. but all that public damage!).. aka Jonah Jameson vs Spiderman.

I think maybe superiority complex would be a good way to go. I'm better then you in every way, I can beat you even if you got powers! (Go go vice Pride)

Tried not to look on the other suggestions. I guess it is a bit late, but I hope you get a good backstory.

Woa. Thank you Lady C for drawing my two chars I liked how they got portrayed. (First time ever Cy has been drawn). I get the wibe "friends forever" motif

Seri and Lizzy (Surf's up) was a great one. Playful and pin-up wise

Got to admit Alpha, I did not know you drew.
Way to go Alpha keep it going

If you do not slot the Alpha slot with anything and you do the incarnate TF's. This will be the scenario. You will be 4 levels less then a player with the alpha slotted.
So lets say the enemies will be lvl 54. Your team mates will be lvl 50 and you will have the power of being lvl 46. That is 8 lvls difference. Good luck in hitting stuff... and survive. (Thats atleast my impression)

Well sometimes we do drink Coffee, but yes. Tea and biscuits... and cookies. Mmm.. chocolate covered cookies.

I really liked Fenwolf and Gorm They way they where drawn and their poses.
Nice new images to your gallery Caemgen
