Before Tuesday I'll get a list together of all the Halloween badges so we know what we need, and how to get it. It gets confusing after a while, especially if you don't badge much.

Quote:I was just thinking if lowbies wanted to join. But after thinking about it further, most people will probably bring their main badgers first. Once we get a few teams setup, we'll probably start doing some events, and pick up additional people as they show up. Then if someone wants to switch out to a lowbie, it probably wont be an issue. Invite them to the team, instant 49That's fine meeting in the lower zones to make it easier. I misunderstood what you were saying.
. Eh, We'll get it worked out. I just wanted to put out there that we'll be hunting us some Halloweenies next week :smirk:

Quote:Doors are still zone/level based. SSK should be in effect. Sharkhead and Bricks are best for Eochai/Jack unless you want to try Warburg.
The new stuff is a timed event like the Zombie Invasions, it is called the Deadly Apocalypse. When it's announced, set your map to display SPECIAL locations only and then look for the 4 spots that appear on it. Team heads to one of them, we have to take down monsters until the Banners fully materialize. Take down a Banner; get a badge. Take down another Banner; get a different badge. All 4 Banners go down within the time limit and the "Mystic Aspect" spawns, which takes the form of a random giant monster. Kill it for another badge, plus a reward menu appears. All 4 banner badges plus mystic aspect badge = new accolade badge.
Trick or Treat is the same, albeit the Spirit spawn rate should be fixed from last year, Eochai and Jack are still around and the Zombie Invasions occur.
Ugh, I forgot about the Spirit spawn rate from last year. That was annoying. Took me the full two weeks to get it on Luna. -
Quote:I'm sure the evil SSK will be in effect for this. I was just listing those places to gather because they are not too busy. It gets hard to form teams in busy areas. I don't mind moving zones at all. I'll look at Bricks and Sharkshead tonight and find a good spot for us to meet instead.Luna is SSK in place for this? Are the doors based on zone/level range as in the past? Meaning anyone above level 10 could not click a door in Galaxy City & would a level 50 want to be EX'd down that far for this?
Heroside, the best zone for Eochai/Jack killing is Brickstown - small zone with an easy circuit. I think Sharkshead is best villainside.
Not sure how the new stuff works...
I cannot remember how the trick or treating works. I think last year that I trick or treated in multiple zones on Luna, but I could be mistaken. Foggy memory and all -
Quote:Yeah, I agree, I really hope that Jack's rate is better. I just wasn't sure if they would be around or not, and I didn't try the test server when they were running it. The email I saw didn't mention them by name, so I wasn't sure if they were taking the year off or not :smirk:The event will be the same as always PLUS the new Deadly Apocalypse event with the banners that must be destroyed and the "mystic aspect" that will spawn from their destruction. So yes, Eochai and Jack should be back, though I HOPE that Jack's spawn rate is improved.

Greetings everyone!
After yesterdays email about the upcoming Halloween event, I've decided to run a couple of nights next week to let us all get together and enjoy the special events!
The plan:
Tuesday October 20th 8pm-midnight Eastern : Hero Side
Thursday October 22nd 8pm-midnight Eastern : Villain Side
I figure we can get some teams going at 8pm each night, and then as people want to come and go they can. This will also let us switch out toons for anyone who wants badges on multiple toons. I've already got some interest from friends off Facebook, so I figure we can easily get 2-3 teams going.
For Hero Side lets start out in Brickstown (Location to be decided). On Villain Side (Thursday) lets start in Sharkshead (Location to be decided).
Now I know they have a new event this year, so I'm sure most people want to try that out. Plus there will be zombie invasions. Do we know yet if Jack and Pumpkin head are still around as well? Plus we can trick or treat if we get really bored (but clean up your messes!).
Sound like fun? We can use the combined teams to help with the major zone events. The Freedom TF Chat channel will be good to use to call out for teams if you show up later in the night. -
Hmmm Good idea. I think i'll do that on my team. I might get to 40ish but 41 is a stretch with everything going on this week and weekend.

I should be around most of this weekend. I might have to come and go during the arcs depending on what my husband is trying to get me to do around the house. So I'll probably not be a good choice for team leader. I'll probably bring Dyanthia: Rad/Rad Defender so I can get some needed XP on her.
-

If we have to, we can have one of the lowbies from my team start your and/or Joe's team. Although I think Goldberg's toon Bio-Nuke is still in range, and Roxy is still in range. My regular team has 4 lowbies as well. We'll get it worked out!

Quote:Yeah the super side kicking is causing us some major issues because I'm a lowbie. I think we should have one of the 50's be team leader from now on just so we're set towards the upper end of the TF, not the lower. The only TF that will cause a problem on is next weeks Eden Trial. I'll try to get some more levels on Dyanthia before then (she's 39), but I don't know if I can get her to 41 (the Trial cap to be able to start it) by next Monday. We'll see!Even with the lack of damage, I still think we could have made it, but the level range difference was a major problem:
- It took us way too long to take down the hatched krakens & the Rikti guards, so due to time constraints we were forced to bypass taking out the tentacles.
- Which lead to us being easy cannon fodder for the the tentacles & hydra during the attack phase.
-
Grumble Grumble Grumble, I *hate* this trial <sigh>
Needless to say, the curse of team Luna continues. I love the new super side kicking system *most of the time*, but it's causing me annoying issues on these Task Forces where I'm trying to lead a team and I'm a lowbie.
I'll start trying to work on my toon and get her up in levels to fix this problem, but we're getting to the point where it takes a while to level up.
So now down to business!
Thank you to everyone that showed up last night! I think we had 3 nearly full teams. We had a couple of new players join, so I hope they had a good time!
My team was:
Dyanthia: Rad/Rad Controller
Beauty in a Bubble: Illusion/Bubble Controller
Thorium 232: Rad/Rad Controller
Scruffy Muffy: Stone/Stylish Tank
King Sac: Energy/Energy Blaster
Kelvin Kin: Kin/Ice Defender
Darken Sparrow: Sonic/Dark Defender
We had two major problems on the team: Not enough damage and the team being set to my level (38) versus level 41-42 monsters.
As has already been mentioned, we're going to retry this TF again on Thursday night. The people crazy enough to join us for that attempt are: MB, Mr E, Xort, Joe, Angeliscar, Darken Sparrow, Kelvin Kin and me. We also have Paragon signed up for an alternate. Depending on who brings what, I might switch out to a level 50 blaster if we need the damage.
Thanks for joining everyone! Next week will be the Eden Trial. -

Quote:If I'm not dead to the world or too stressed out, I'll join the MoITF with Luna. I still need the badge on her.Since this is a fairly short trial...I am planning on running an MoITF following...at approximately 11:45pm eastern if anyone is interested.
The way I'm feeling right now though, it's an iffy. Just have to see how I feel tonight -
Terror Jones: Earth/Fire Dom

I'll be along for these Mr E.
If I actually work on her, I could get my Brute in range for the first one. Luna Darke: Ax/WP Brute.
For the second one.... Not sure.... Maybe Mercy Darkwell *again* because she's about the only villain I have in range for it. Ninja/Pain MM -
Yeah, I don't mind ambushes in general in TF's or missions. But the sheer number of ambushes in that mission is stupid. I'd be happy with a slight tone down in numbers on it
-
It was really fun last night Mr E!
Sorry I was kind of a sucky player last night. I was sleepy going into it. I drank a SF Red Bull about half way thru, but it didn't do anything. Add to that the lag my computer loves to have on villain SF's, and it was hard for me to do much. :smirk:
I like this TF, but the final mission still annoys me versus the hero side. Those ambushes just suck. -

I'll be around most of this weekend, but I'm not sure if I'll be leading any TF's or not. It'll just depend on the mood I'm in :smirk:
I've got a ton of lowbies though, so expect me to be running some of them, and I'll keep an eye on the global channels. If I see something that sounds interesting, I'll join in.
See you all then!
