    Gaahh!!! No more co-op TF's, please. I know it is twice the effort but I much prefer a two sided TF where one side is attempting to accomplish something and the other is trying to stop it.

    Waaaay back in the summer of 2007, when I was unemployed with a boat load of time on my hands, I sketched out a bunch of stories as missions that ran from 1-50 red side as one story arc with individual chapters tied together when you got to the end. One of the mid-level arcs involved War Witch making a deal with Mary MacComber and the Cabal. The Cabal would restore War Witch to a physical existence in exchange for her help driving the Red Caps from Croatoa. The villain arc involved the attempt to stop this from happening and stealing the artifact being used, as it is needed for the grand plan in the story behind the individual arcs. The heroes succeed in bringing War Witch back to the land of the living but the Villains get away with the artifact they needed. I need to knock the rust off and get back into the inner workings of the AE building again...maybe once I get off these 12 hour night shifts.

    But anyway, here's a vote hoping for some sort of War Witch TF/SF combo. If it came with a revamp of Boomtown all the better.
  2. Same ad in my marvel and DC titles. Very nice to see. Might be able to get a scan done when I get home from work in about 6 hours.

    Yeah, sure, because the heroes of primal earth are soooooo good at completely eliminating crime and keeping order on their world they can just rush on over and take care of that one as well. When I see less, freakshow, outcasts, skulls, council, 5th column, lost, and CoT on the streets of Paragon than I see actual citizens come talk to me about the great heroes of Primal Earth.

    If the Resistance actually succeeded in taking down Tyrant's regime that little pocket of drugged out zombie paradise would turn into the Manhattan island prison from Escape from New York in about 2 weeks.

    huh...I rather enjoy his missions. I find him entertaining. I will admit, however, that 90% of my vills are staying pure vill and most of my heroes are going at least to vigilante. I bet between 3 servers and 40 some odd characters I will end up with maybe 4 or 5 pure heroes. The side switching missions may turn into the saving grace of GR for me. If I ever get back to a work schedule that allows me to play the darn game again.
  6. I would toss a vote in for Dark Astoria, with Boomtown a close second. DA just has so much potential for a unique/different experience that it should get a look. I also put these ahead of the shard because I think they would require a little less time and are more realistic for a rebuild.

    Redside? I don't know. I kinda like redside. Monster Isle is an idea, although an interconnected set of snake tunnels might be interesting. Sort of a villain side sewer system. If the snakes are in mercy and grandville, I could see a tunnel system connecting them. You could even have sections taken over by Arachnoids or a partially submerged section with Coralax. Either way I would go for something new being added over a revamp on redside.

    It'll show up as 'retail' on your account by the way. Or it does for me at least.
    AHA!! Much thanks, I never would have looked there. Who's the crazy person that decided to put it on an inside cover like that?

    Thanks again!
  8. Ok, I am really tired from this switch to night shift but I don't know what I did wrong in loading up GR.

    I picked up my pre-orders wednesday afternoon at gamestop and ran it home to load up before I headed out to work, which is where I am now =[. I did not make an NC soft account during install because I already have one (mistake?). I did enter the codes that were on my reciept and those show up as "perk" on my account manager.

    I cannot find another code on the disc or in the box (unless I missed it). When I log on I do not have the new slots and cannot make a preatorian on my main comp or my laptop.

    What did I screw up??? Game seemed to install ok. I don't know what happened. Anybody have a clue?

    Thanks

    Bit bummed, was looking forward to this one as I have a tank on Justice that actually fits the theme. Unfortunately I am starting night shift tomorrow for a couple months so I will be out of Tanker Tuesdays for a bit. Hopefully this project will stay on schedule and I can get back to tanking by Holloween.
  10. Well that lasted half a second...
  11. Had a good run last night. We were ready to start an Oro TF when Operative Prime decided to ask about an all Veat ITF so we jumped on that. So 6 Veats and a stray kin ran an hour and 13 minute ITF, Granny almost dinged twice.

    Thanks to everybody that teamed:

    Operative Prime
    Ms. Veronica
    Arachno Bunny
    Widower X
    Sulis
    General Mayhem

    and H.S.L. (our stray kin)

    See you all next month.

    Pretty easy...I believe it's the red button. Push it = splody and enjoy the pretty colors.

    As to the topic, most of my heroes were created with a vigilante lean to their stories so all but maybe one or two will go at least that far if not back around to Rogue.
  13. It's Hootenanny time again. This will be our 8th run already. As usual we will run something eveybody can do once we see who shows up. Same Veat time same Veat place.

    One last thing.

    A moment of silence....









    R.I.P Comic and culture forum which is due to be wiped clean Monday August 9th and rebooted by our Paragon thought police overlords. The place will never be the same.
  14. Well, we also got a Sister Psyche TF done and it only took 3 hours and 10 minutes to do it.

    Seems someone's mind is a bit mushy and they do not check their dif before starting a TF so it was a +2 levels Sister.

    XP was great...length not so much...just slap me the next time I decide to run something.

    Although I did go from one bub into lvl 39 to 3 bubs into lvl 40, so I got that goin for me.

    Thanks to everybody for sticking it out. Was a fun team.
  15. You can also have some back-up EoE's, wakies and break free's etc. stored in your email...ya know...just in case.
  16. These music threads always make me feel my age. I never have any idea who half these bands are.

    I was in high school during the height of the hair band age so my "mindless smashing of everything in my path" playlist is about 3 hours worth of AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Guns N Roses, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Rob Zombie, Zepplin, Queen, Offspring, My Chemical Romance and the like, set on random.

    but my taste runs the gamut as I am a huge country fan with Waylon Jennings owning more slots in my library than probably any other single artist but I really like some of the new stuff along the Jason Aldean, Jamey Johnson style of music. I have see George Thorogood live 8 times....I can't quite explain that but he is really good live.

    I also have a great deal of blues from John Lee ****** to Keb Mo and Jonny Lang. Lang was the last concert I went to and he is fantastic live.

    I also just like people I think have talent so I will check out a lot of stuff like Prince, Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott and even Pink who I think is by far the best of the blond bunch (Spears, Simpson etc) that all came out around the same time, although Agiulera (sp?) probably has the best voice.

    I've got about 5,000 songs in my modest Ipod collection and most folks can't figure out how I can listen to all the different stuff I have on there but it is all about the mood that strikes me and I need tunes to match that mood.
  17. I would love to help out with this. Right now I am stuck with my Stone/SS at 40 0r 41 on Champ next is a Dark/Electric in the mid-20's

    Let me know if I need to switch gears to the lower tank for leveling and I will. I have not touched the second build on either toon yet so I can make a secondary build from scratch.

    Let me know if I can help, what we need for the builds and point me at what to hit.

    This sounds like fun.
  18. Dagnabit!!!! Wife made me sit through freakin New Moon last night....I have never facepalmed so much during a movie in my life. PeeWee PvP would have been soooooo much better.

    I will make another one of these. The first one I did was a blast.
  19. crap...I need to get on the boards more often. I completely missed this one. Always next time I suppose.
  20. Woot, Will be able to Tank for three this month as I made a baby tank on Virtue a little while back.
  21. I have been missing Rikti Raids lately. I will sticky note to my monitor so I do not forget. Will likely bring Murder Machine. He likes beating the crap out of Rikti.
  22. Well the LGTF did not go as planned. We got a little big for our britches and decided to set it for a Master run just to try it. We had some non-veats with us because of low holiday weekend turn out.

    So we had 4 widows, a stone/ss tank, ss/stone brute, scrapper, and a blaster. Failed the master during the Hami fight and lost a Widow during the fight with Hero 1. Needless to say without temps/shivans we just could not damage fast enough to beat the recharge on unstoppable.

    Live and learn.

    Thanks to Phantom Cobra, Sulis, Ms V, Talimus, Terra Tek and the brute and blaster who's names I can't remember =[

    See ya all next month!

    When and where was this made official?

    I really hope I do not HAVE to Hami raid to get Incarnate stuff. I have been on some successful ones but they are hard on my eyes, brain and compy with the frame by frame lag they induce.
  24. First friday of the month is here already so the Hootenanny returns. Think we will shoot for a LGTF but as always we will go with something everybody can do or if enough peeps show up we will run multiple teams.

    Same VEAT time same VEAT place...
