    Sign me up on Project 64B again. Mebbe I'll actually get in?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, if you would have been there last night by 10:30pm you would have been in...

    Always remember to please be at Recluse by the start time - preferably 10 mins earlier if possible. I do like to start promptly.

    As I mentioned before, if enough people from the sign-up list are standing there, I will fill the team & get going.
  2. Week Number Thirteen: MA Arc of the Week

    #46127 Get the Nerd Herds computer before they stop you! by @Alt Big B2200

    Obviously, this is a joke mission as it took me all of 12 seconds to complete once I zoned into the mission (zoning actually took longer). But, these are the vagaries of using a random number generator to select the spotlighted arc…

Wait for &amp; clear the ambushes (3?) after kidnapping the scientist (you may need to move him to the door to get the ambushes to spawn.

Clear the mob in front of the door. Stealth &amp; TP to the end area if possible, if not stick together &amp; clear. Clear the two areas before opening up the door. After aggroing the Slinger, try to clear the surrounding mobs before taking him down to make it less hectic for when he spawns his bots.[*] Fourth Mission: After talking to Grillo (Third Mission), move to the base of the Atlas Statue. We may need to clear some nearby mobs first. Pull to the front foot of the statue (furthest from the Heroes). Pull/Kill order: Numina, Sister Psyche, Manticore, BABs subject to pulling circumstances.[*] Fifth Mission: Clear to the Vindicator door, while the rest of the team sets up back down the hall, someone stealthy should open the door. Pull/Kill order: Malaise, Swan, Luminary, Mynx, Valkyrie (x2) subject to pulling circumstances. Clear to the glowie. Set-up &amp; wait for the ambush. Clear to Ms Liberty. Use the rifle on her &amp; take her down.[*] Sixth Mission: Clear to the right side of the Atlas Statue (to avoid any cross agro). Stay together &amp; keep buffs/debuffs running. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Numina, Synapse. Clear to the left side of the Atlas Statue. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Sister Psyche, Manticore. From here, we can determine which side to pull from next &amp; which hero to pull. Of course this is all subject to pulling circumstances. Apparently if Statesman is mentally undressing Numina, it will result in an “All-Pull” situation. If this occurs, we will determine a strategy - perhaps logging out to reset the mission &amp; hoping for a better distribution of the heroes.[*]This is a work in progress[/list]

  4. I picked up a set of Shivans during the week, but did not get a chance to grab any nukes.
  5. What an amazing run!

    We made it through the fifth mission with nary a scratch…

    Valkyrie - The Last Vindicator (after her rez &amp; MoG)

    Upon entering the last mission &amp; clearing to the right side of the Atlas statue, MB was heard saying, “Something doesn’t look right!”

    Indeed, something was not right…

    MB’s Numina pull brought: Synapse, Positron &amp; Numina…at first…

    Numina refused to budge from the ledge, so we started in on Synapse…during this battle the remainder of the Freedom Phalanx decided that we needed a bit more attention, so they joined the party.

    I’m not exactly sure of the defeat order, but I believe it was something like this:

    Synapse
    Positron
    Citadel
    Back Alley Brawler
    Statesman
    Numina
    Sister Psyche
    Manticore

    I thought we had it last night! Even after the all-pull!

    No one panicked. We started taking the heroes down one-by-one, but the attacks from multiple directions caught up to us &amp; eventually someone died.

    Through all of that though, we accrued just two deaths. Very, very nice teamwork everyone!

    The Team:

    Mr E-Villain: SS/Inv Brute

    Hatake Kasumi: Widow
    Robin Rogue: Dark/Kin Corruptor
    Overkill: Bane

    Scruffy stepped in &amp; joined us with Volting Warrior when 10:35pm rolled around &amp; we were still short one member – of course Turg logged in a few minutes later. (Sorry Turg – leave those dishes in the sink until tomorrow!)

    Thanks for joining everyone – it was a lot of fun!

    I will be out of town next Saturday night (in Philly on my laptop using my phone as a modem) not the ideal way to try a Master of… run so…

    Time for me to head out. My subscription ends today and I won't be re-newing for a little while. I've had a lot of fun over the last 3 years on these forums and ingame, of course.

    Hopefully, RL will ease a bit in the future and I'll be back for Going Rogue or something down the line.

    Freedom was my server of choice and Legions of Doom: Doom Supremacy is where you can find some of the greatest Freedom players. Big props to the SG for hitting our 5 year Anniversary. Doom Supremacy

    My death was a dumb death. Valk's one-hit strike capacity (super damage blast, with a DoT tick that finishes you immediately) sucks bigtime. ;(


    [/ QUOTE ]

    That would be Valk's version of Whirling Sword...of course it does just a bit more damage than the player version...

    So, I mentioned this after some people had already logged off, but I would like to get a list of the Heroes that have this type of AoE attack that can in essence one shot squishies with DoT...

    Right now on my list is:

    Valkyrie
    Positron

    Maybes:

    Mynx
    Manticore

    -------------------------

    I thought it was a very good run - we took a little bit longer than last time, but the amount of lag &amp; LCMSing probably accounted for additional time.

    As mentioned, the first death occurred against the Vindicators after we had the majority of them already defeated...

    In the last mission, the first pull brought Synapse &amp; Numina - we took out Numina first &amp; then Synapse.

    Fighting Synapse

    After they went down, we moved over to the other side of the Atlas Statue &amp; set up shop there.

    I believe our next pull was Citadel by himself.

    After that things got a little more hectic: BaBs, Sister Psyche &amp; Manticore came on the next pull: we took them down in that order - still only the one death.

    Fighting Manticore

    On the next pull we tried for just Positron, but Statesman tagged along as well. This is where we had our final two deaths.

    During the initial part of the battle Posi &amp; States were in different locations: Post on the ledge &amp; States on the ground &amp; I couldn't get them together. States took out a couple of people while we were taking out Positron.

    Fighting Statesman

    None of the Heroes caused any major problems for us - we had plenty of buffs/debuffs to keep things manageable.

    MoLRSF Failed Attempt: 7/2/2009 Stat Box

    Thanks for joining in everyone it was a lot of fun!

    Next attempt will be Saturday night (tomorrow).
  17. Mako's first arc was fun &amp; short - I continued my dying ways picking up first death yet again (2nd mob of the first mission?).

    Team Mid-40's:

    Mr E-Lectric: Elec/Elec Brute
    Gabriel Keats: Fire/Rad Corruptor
    Longbow Spy-duh: Widow
    General Damos: Mercs/Traps Mastermind
    Marvel: (Damn, what was he playing? *sigh*)

    As far as Ace McKnight goes, I didn't even see him - I was on the boat fighting some Knives when the Mission Complete popped-up...

    Since it was so short, we decided to run Part 2 of Mako's arc...Marvel bowed out shortly after we began. After we completed the first mission &amp; talk, the second team was finished with their arc, so Paragon &amp; Scruffy joined us on our team...

    By the 3rd mission however, I was getting extremely tired (I think a couple of others were as well ).

    ...but we pushed on &amp; completed the arc - that last mission was fun - definitely need to get a KB protection IO or two to suppliment EA's protection...

    Thanks for joining everyone, as aways it was a lot of fun!

    For next week, I was planning on running the 'Cuda TF, but with all of the bugs I've been reading regarding the Temp Powers, I think I am going to hold off a week &amp; try something less buggy.

    So, next week will be the 3rd Villain Respec Trial followed by some MA missions if we feel up to it.

    Thanks again!
