Quote:That particular recipe is pool C and can only be gotten through random rolls or purchasing with merits or on a random boss/eb/av drop (very very very small percent chance). So since not that many people roll (especially at lowish levels) it makes sense that there are not very many around.Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
Some drop rates could use some serious help... I don't know why Guassian's rech/end recipes are so rare redside (look at the list from the 25-33 range... a handful of sold since July/August, if I recall right). I don't know what they could do about it, but such things surely are not supposed to be so rare. But that recipe does cost a player more merits than a Luck of the Gambler +recharge, so maybe that working as intended. Bit odd, though.
I am very much hoping for increased drop rates! -

I wish I had seen this earlier! My wife is huge into RP and she has been looking for some RP on vic. That and well we just started playing villians, do you still have any room for 2 more people?

Sorry I did not see this. A child age character is perfectly appropriate.

Just a reminder that this is tonight if anyone would like to join!

Ah, that makes sense.
But how do we know FOR REAL that Medeival Power isn't also a woman? -

Sounds fun, but that time won't work for me. So hope you all have some great matches and pre-grats to Masq..er... the new champ!
That was funny Penny! Though Masque is not allowed to win since he is hosting the event. I can try to win, but I doubt I can beat anyone on a melee character (not my pvp forte).
Nivra- Send me a tell in game, I'll see what I can do. -
... when someone asks you a question that you've just told them the answer to a few minutes ago and had they been listening to you while you talked, they would know?

Intrepid Warriors is now running its second run of "The Firstborn" Villain team night. This is a themed night and it is rp-lite (you can rp as much or as little as you like, including having a bio or not and talking in character or not- but you need to be rp-friendly of others who wish to be immersed). We will group together, run tfs if people are high enough level, and basically level together as a unit (if you miss a week and fall behind, no big deal at all).
Our first meeting will be on Thursday September 24th at 9pm est at the ferry to Mercy Island in the zone Port Oakes, please be level 5. You will be asked to join the DARK CHRYSALIS VG and given your own room in the base to decorate as your bunk room if you would like one.
Do not feel limited by the story that is written, it is very easy to place almost any character concept into this story, if you need help just ask.
If you have questions or would like to join in early please PM me here or in game @Madame Pistacio or @Schatzie.
Here is the basic story for those interested:
Dark Chrysalis is just one hive of The Program. The Program is designed to form the ultimate race. A race of superpowered humans with perfect genes. The race will be immune to disease, will be stronger than typical humans, and will be able to exist with less resources. Sure, ridding the world of diseases like influenza, AIDS, and cancer seems like a righteous course, right? Well it is.. except for the way they go about their projects. The origins of the program were about 25 years ago, but the plotting goes back even farther. Children with special qualities, good genes, superpowers, mutations were kidnapped from their families and brought to a lab to undergo testing and training. Once the scientists could understand what made these children special, they could reproduce it. The founders knew that they needed support from all types of people- magicians, mutants, technicians, mercenaries, everyone. They did not discriminate based on color or beginning race, simply took in everyone that possessed any of the qualities they desired. Then the training began. Some children required only physical conditioning, but some were giving hormone therapy or magical treatments to hone powers. Some of the children needed brainwashing. These children were Generation Alpha. They became unstoppable forces practicing there fighting on any group that got in there way. The Founders were pleased with Generation Alpha. although some did not survive. Generation Beta was even better. Mistress Pistacio was among Generation Beta. She possessed the qualities needed to enter the program and was taken along with her young sister Faith (Faithless) from Praetorian Earth despite the fact that Faith possessed no superhuman qualities. Mistress grew to expand the program and eventually was given the opportunity to run her own Hive. She jumped at the chance and created the first primarily magic Hive. She knew that to keep the program going that she would need technical assistance and she brought in technical experts to help her. Mistress slowly was building her own unstoppable army behind the scenes of Dark Chrysalis, calling it simply a villain group for the bloodthristy, until her Hive was ready. She enlisted the help of mercenaries to steal equipment and money for her. She also welcomed other like minded individuals, investors, into The Program. The Founders found Mistress's hive perfect for a group of the Firstborn (children of Generation Alpha). These children were the first to be born into the program and are expected to surpass the first, second, and third generations. They range from age 8 to age 18 and are already combat savvy. Children are nurtured excessively and raised to be able to use weaponry and hone their own abilities perfectly. The goal of the program to is dominate the earth and make it a Utopia, expanding life expectancy, ridding the world of disease and famine. However no change comes without a war and Dark Chrysalis must prepare for its part.
Definitions:
Generation Alpha- The first group of children to be kidnapped and trained in The Program. A small portion of these children died during the first few rounds of experimentation and training. These individuals are now age 27 to 41. Breeding was highly encouraged in this group and their children are considered the Firstborn. Many of Gen. Alpha have natural or science based powers, but a few with magical abilities did survive. Superhuman abilities were added bonuses to the Program, but not the entire goal of the evolutionary process. Some of Generation Alpha work at the Program's initial facility, but many run their own hives.
Generation Beta- The second group of children to be kidnapped and trained in the Program. Very few of these children died during their training as techniques had been perfected during Gen. Alpha. Most of Generation Beta are now grown and off working in or running hives, but some are still in training. Members of this group are age 14 to 28
Generation Gamma- The third group of children to be kidnapped. These children are the same age as the Firstborn, but are kept separate as to not taint the Firstborn with their knowledge of the outside world.
The Firstborn- The children of Generation Alpha. They range in age from 6 to 18. These children are combat savvy. Each knows how to load and shoot a gun. By growing up in The Program, the children have never had real contact with the outside world. No brainwashing techniques were used.
Investors- The investors are a group of extremely wealthy, extremely powerful men and women who, despite not being First Generation themselves, they display amazing IQs and they are at the top of their chosen professions, mostly involving science and medicine, and who are the minds behind the whole operation. They work as a sort of Council, making decisions together, and their identities are unknown to everyone but other Council members, as they are (most of them) famed and reputed in their fields of expertise.
Merceneries- Hired "specialists" to steal money and supplies. The Mercs may also kill if needed to help each Hive maintain their goals.
Drones- Working Bees are brainwashed\trusty personnel used to maintain the chapters, and ranges from teachers to doctors and even security staff. They are EXTREMELY loyal and many believe in the credo of the organization. All of the staff is carefully monitored, and very few are kept brainwashed and mind controlled, only those involved in operations that cannot risk being compromised.
Hives- The Hives are independent self-contained units that are lead by Generation Alpha or Beta member, and are comprised of a few dozen Gen Beta, Gamma, or Firstborn.
The children are carefully controlled and nurtured, mixing a strict regimen of study and training to make the Malta tremble with fear. Even an 8 year old is combat savvy enough to strip and clean a handgun. They aren't only supposed to BE evolution, they're bred to be geniuses capable of overtaking any situation. Genetic excellence only goes so far, and psychological upbringing, study and tests to determine their aptitudes, completes it, as well a combat and physical training. There are a few specialized Hives, and it's not uncommon for children to be shifted around when they reach a new age category. The children are instructed with love for the organization, and they're not seen as soldiers, but as precious assets. They are expected to create bonds with their teachers and friends, and to understand the goal of the organization -- return to Eden. All of them are undyingly loyal.
The Research Centers- Most legal, some illegal, and all very very secret, it's where all the experiments in many fields concerning human evolution occur. A few of the DC allies (and even some First Generations and Investors) are part of hospitals and laboratories that and in the edge of great breakthroughs. Their discoveries fund themselves, but they aren't shy about taking government stipends either. Drugs are seldom part of the children's diets, but it happens in some cases.
Infiltrated Agents- In legislative bodies, governments, Board of Pharmaceutical and Medical companies, and on lower levels, in hospitals, clinics, and government register sections. This way, should they find a particular strand of genes they desire, they can locate their subjects and either (under the excuse of a medical check up) collect egg and sperm specimens or, in some cases, snatch the babies of particularly promising parents (they prefer in vivo incubation to in vitro), simulating the babies' death to distract the parents (which a DC doctor in staff, faking such a thing is easy). This is also achieved via the Pandora Project.

Very much looking forward to this. I don't have a melee build specced for PvP, but I think it will be fun anyways. Now to choose between scrapper or brutes... hmmm!

If anyone else would like to volunteer to be auctioned off, please let me know today. I will continue to take door prize donations until the auction itself. I am looking to hold this in the beginning of October.

Can we resurrect the old frappr with the map on it?
I live in NJ and I always post in est. -
No Voodoo, I did not already do this. I brought it up to certain people privately about 6 or so months ago. I am now at the point where I am ready to roll and do this. I am keeping a contact sheet of all volunteers. Keep them coming people. I am going to close the volunteering this FRIDAY, so if you want in, let me know!

This is TONIGHT! Hope to see you all there. I am not feeling super great so it may not go as long as usual, but it will still be fun!!

Quote:I've got a spot on a MoSTF on here alreadyOriginally Posted by Elegost
I will put myself (and likely my brother, will let him post himself) up for this.
And also a free spot on a QMoSTF run, if certain people in a certain group would be willing to help me out with the required bodycount.
Edit: I can promise a Masters. If you don't get it the first time, the second time is not negated from your 4 hours. If you don't get it the second, I blame voodoo. This is separate from anyone's 4 hours as it is being auctioned off as an experience. At this point, I am just looking for People and experiences to be auctioned off, later on I will ask you what you are good at to give people incentive to buy!
~MP -
I am excited to help with this. I am only willing to do transfers of 500mill at a time at this point. Also, I am very good at shopping and making cheap builds. I am willing to help people make builds on a budget. Say you only have like 20 or 50 mill to do a really awesome build on your latest 50, I can come up with a build for you that will be smashing! I will even help you shop if you need it.

I signed up in the other thread I *think* I am gonna do a traps defender to complete my set.

Including vet reward options, totally cool Pol!

I hear you Sarrate, but you are talking about one attack villains get versus a power that will allow you to completely skip fitness and use another powerpool (if you slot properly).
That being said... the dark epic for scrappers/tankers should have gotten darkest night, as the fire epic got melt armor.. just makes sense!
