Madame Pistacio

Reminder, no raid this coming Saturday. Happy Easter to anyone who celebrates!

For the 4/14 raid, the theme is Spring Fever!

To my wonderful husband,

Thank you for being an amazing partner in game and in real life. I love you! I am so lucky to have you in my life.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Love, MP

Did Angel challenge Freaky Clowns? If so I *think* that allows us to challenge them. I'll send a tell to Misse or Chan.

Geckos accept the challenge. Please send me a message with time choices. Thursday night would be great for us if possible.

@Madame Pistacio or @Madame Pistacio2 or forum pm.


I have no idea who has not been challenged yet (above us)... can someone help me figure that out please?

Welcome to Victory! I love teaming and task forcing, so feel free to hit me up at any time Everything everyone has said is pretty spot on! So not much more to add besides, have a great time!

I had a lot of fun with my husband and other friends all weekend. I had set the goal of 4 50s, but I beat my goal LOL.

DP/Elec Blaster - 37 to 50
Dark/Dark Blaster - 41 to 50
Ninja/Bubble MM - 48 to 50
Demon/Thermal MM - 44 to 50
Rad/Traps Corrupter - 46 to 50
Sonic/Thermal Corrupter - 44 to 50 (dinged literally on the very last "turn in mish" to Mort Kal)
Psi/Mental Blaster - 41 to 46 (when I was going to push "1 more" to 50, this one and the corr where both 44, but I went for the corr)

All the 50s are alpha unlocked (ty coupons!) and 3 are fully set IOed, the others are basic IOed at least.

Earned lots of inf/prestige and got I think 6 purples over the weekend.

Was a lot of fun, thanks to everyone who ran teams with me

Reminder, no Hami Raid on 3/17 due to double XP weekend. Please enjoy 2xp and St. Patrick's Day!!

Theme for 3/24 is Gothic Wear!

Angel was victorious over the Kamikaze Geckos. Good fight all.

I want to push a few things to 50...

48 rad/traps corr
43 demon/therm mm
41(?) psi/mental blaster
41 dark/dark blaster

Not sure I will get through all of those, but if I do, I have other projects as well including starting up a new villains night

And back down We were too awesome I think.


PS- Ham, may want to think about posting links not pics next time. Or at least resize.

Maybe I am incorrect, but I am pretty sure Bug is counting a "bye" during last night's matches as a win. And it's not going to be "counting" differently later, and it should not, as it is not those teams' faults who were randomly selected. As far as I understood, the purpose of the first group of fights was to determine a fairly ranked ladder in which to start the contest. Again, might be wrong, but hopefully Bug will post soon to clarify.


Also: Hi Loopy!
Also x 2: thanks r0y!

Kamikaze Geckos would like to challenge team Angel. (Mostly because that would be all of team awesome in one match and it just has to be done)

Re: Drowning in Blood

I've petitioned twice for the Brotherly Love badge and gotten it twice. Customer Service is working overtime!!!

Following is my opinion only:

After running the Dilemma Diabolique about 10 times, I am going to say... it is not to easy over all. It is too easy for many individual people who pick up things very easily, learn new mechanics quickly, and have good memories (this group includes many of the people I team with). But for the average team, I think it works. I do however think the difficulty in it comes with all of the enemies being +6 or +7. At first I was thinking that was just a cheap trick, but now I am thinking... you know what, we are kitted out, we've done so many other things, why not go this route this time. I did however notice that having even 1 or 2 +0 or +1 characters on the team does make things more difficult (especially if going for a master run).

As for the essences at the end... you only have < 30 seconds to kill 4 of them and they fly quickly... I dunno, maybe a few more hp, but I wouldn't change it much.

Another thing I really like is the "survive by ANY means necessary" mechanic. It is awesome that a weak league could pop out shivans and even longbow heavies if they needed to.

I really hope to see other folks stepping up to lead the Dilemma Diabolique or even MoDD. I am said that I usually only see myself, Chan/Missie, or Masque running anything harder than Keyes. There is more to this world than BAF and Lam and I hope others feel the same!

Overall, I haven't found much (aside from bugs) that I don't like about this issue. I really love the new arcs. They are dynamic and interesting and I like that there are choices in some of them!

Reminder to Patch! It is a long patch and it's live now!!!!!!

Oh I forgot to say... we will meet in RWZ as this will give me the best opportunity at not inviting those who signed up. I imagine Pocket D and even DA may be quite crowded.

Hi all! In order to prepare for the new issue, I thought I would do a sign up for my first run of Dilemma Diabolique. I have not run it before, I do not like to ruin the surprises for myself, but I have read the basic strategy for the trial. The very first run I do, any badges will be just a bonus, but we will not be focusing on those. If the first run goes well, I will indeed do a second run in order to get some of the delicious badginess! I know the servers are going to be up at 3pm, but since normally they actually take longer, I am shooting for 6:15pm est which will hopefully be a reasonable time for most. I am certain I will run the trial multiple times on the 6th. I just want to give preference of spots to those who'd like to sign up. You must be +3 to sign up for a spot. If this list does not fill, priority will be given to those on Victory Limitless.

Please list your global and your AT and powerset if needed (mostly for buff/debuff chars). I pre-signed a few people up, if you want to be unsigned up let me know .
