Mr E-Man

Hey - just a reminder, this is still scheduled for tongiht - if everyone listed can make it, we will run with 2 teams.

See everyone tonight

Hats off to Hatter for some timesaving ideas on setting this up. It'll be a cinch on Friday. Cheers!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, very nice - other than (most of) the ranked weightclass badges, I was able to get all of the other badges & the accolade on Mr E-Man - things moved very smoothly after the initial run.

If I have the opportunity & you have room, I will try to log in after my static team finishes up on Friday to get some badges on one of my other characters.

Not to derail Turg's thread, but King Sac & I were going to do some of the arena badges tonight, starting at around 10-10:30pm eastern.

Also, Friday is bad for me as well, that is my static team night this week.

I think one of the issue with the STF is that during our run to the Thorn room last night I remember fighting these guy:

Bad Penny (Boss)
Comrade (Boss)
Misadventure (Boss)
Sardonic (Boss)

Aren't they bosses from the new TF.

[/ QUOTE ]

lol

They are supposed to be a Villain Respec team that us stalwart heroes interrupted on their way to the Thorn Room.

I should be able to make this - I would like to take Flames of Mr E so I have a shot of getting him to 50 during the Mender Silos TF on Monday. but put me down as TBA & if we need something specific, I will switch out to a different character.

Also, Scruffy is Stone/??? (I think EM) - been a while since I've seen Scruffy Muffy in action...

Just an FYI Luna, there are reports that the 5th Column TF & SF are still somewhat bugged...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well Foo Hmmmmmm Might hold off then.... I don't think I could stand enough bugged TF that soon

[/ QUOTE ]

Just read through the entire thread, seems it is more the SF that is bugged. The TF can be completed.

I hope the server isn't too unstable tonight.

From your lips to the hampster's ear...

Hopefully Thor will come through the surgery in great shape!

I should be there most weeks as usual.

My new character is: Beauty in a Bubble an Ill/FF Controller - two power sets I've never really played before.

Currently she is lvl 6 - very close to 7.

Don't forget me, E. I will not be ignored.

*scrolls up* WTH do you people do with your day that you all jam-pack in so fast? I saw UP in 3D today, shopped, took care of the ailing dog, went to a BBQ, and I come back to see THIS?

Personally, I was remanded into the gardening detail today...

I was able to log in to CoH this afternoon &amp; change the Freedom Events MotD &amp; run the Atlas Park Safeguard Mission on my lvl 6 controller...

Later I played a little 1 vs 100 beta on Xbox Live...

Dinner was a couple of porterhouse steaks I cooked on the grill with a nice dry rub for some added flavor...

Watched the first 2 episodes of Merlin, Burn Notice &amp; Royal Pains from last week...

Fed Mr Holmes &amp; Dr Watson...

Now I am here, typing this...trying to decide if I want to log into CoH, play something on the Xbox or pass out...

Next MoLRSF attempt will be Saturday, July 4 - get ready for some fireworks!

[/ QUOTE ] Wow, 1 week between runs? This is monumental.. I'll be sure to mark it down on my New July Calendar!


[/ QUOTE ]

Hopefully not too monumental...

I wanted to run this a few times in close proximity in order to get a feel for what works &amp; what does not.

I was actually considering having a run Thursday night - I figured mostly everyone would have Friday off...what do you think, should I add in a run Thursday this week as well as Saturday?

Also, for the pulls on the last mission, I think we should have probably moved over to the other side to pull Sister Psyche after the first 2 successful pulls.

I think you would have had better success.

Well it was a very good run, but we did not succeed on our initial attempt at the MoLRSF.

Our first death was a fluke (as noted by MB) where he fell down into a mob that killed him.

I did not get a stat box pop-up, so no screenshot, but I was informed the SF took 1 hr 55 mins &amp; we had 5 defeats.

Not bad at all!

The Team:

Mr E-Villain: SS/Inv Brute
Ms Burned Bush: Plant/Psi Dominator
Robin Rogue: Dark/Kin Corruptor
Hatake Kasumi: Widow
evil drogoh: Ice/Rad Corruptor
Supreme Soviet: Bots/Traps Mastermind
Cryptid: Widow
Teh Corrupted One: Rad/Dark corruptor

(did I get everyone right?)

Thanks for joining everyone - it was a very fun night!

I'll look over my notes (when I say notes, I am referring to my memory - I never take notes) &amp; post up some thoughts over the next couple of days.

Thanks again!

&lt;QR&gt;

I was thinking about setting the Mo challenges, but I was also thinking about doing a lot of clearing through this TF, instead of Teleporting (Tree mission for example). It's been so long since I've played through the entire TF "as designed", so I thought it might be fun. Also, Luna and I will be so close to lvl 50 after this TF that I'm hoping that clearing a couple extra rooms along the way will put us over the edge!


[/ QUOTE ]

Was it that long ago that we ran one without a TPer? Or did you miss that run?

I do think it is worthwhile - especially for people that might not have done the TF before - to clear through mission 3.

If you have the opportunity, you should check out the Bios of the Villain Respec Team you run across after going through the portal.

[ QUOTE ]
wait.. wha? i haven't been payin attention to the boards lately... when does this go into effect?

[/ QUOTE ]

Super-Booster Pack 3 - probably after I-15 hits - it is available for free purchase on Test at the moment.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, I'll try to get my lower level Muse up high enough to help run this, but I can't guarantee it right now unless I go PL it, which I'm a bit reluctant to do (right now she's sitting at lvl 34, and I find Farming, especially PL Farming to be as boring as heck).

[/ QUOTE ]

Please leave the farming to professionals...

...thousands of people each year are seriously injured in farming related mishaps that could have been prevented by hiring a professional farmer...


[ QUOTE ]
Hmm. If you can take a lowbie into this, I'd like to bring my elec/elec brute along, Red Rayne. She's lvl 30 ATM.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wish you better luck surviving battles with Red Rayne than I have done with Mr E-Lectric...

I also added MB to the list since he will actually be running the arc for us...

...which brings up another issue...

We can only have 2 teams for this if we have a 2nd person that is able to get/run Mako's arc...

So, we may have to cap this at 1 team.
