  1. A brilliant run this evening. One death that was pure chance, the rest was near perfect execution. My hat's off to everyone who participated tonight.
  2. You know I'm a given for this, right? However, I may be in NYC that weekend for my mom's birthday (82!). Please sign me as a "mebbe" until I can confirm my travel plans.

    I can point out some crucial people on Champion to coalition with. They've got good people there - less pop than us, but personalities very much like our own (that's a two-way compliment, people).

    I'd honestly rather we kept to Freedom for our runs though; available resources (i.e., "people") here are simply vaster due to the nature of the beast. Pingtimes between Freedom and Champions vary by about 75-150ms depending on the time and quality of your connection too, so sheer latency to a pure-west coast server has to be considered as well.

    Excellent suggestions from Supernumiphone.

    Also, for the OP: Is this the first time it's happened for you, or has this been consistent for a while? And, what geographical location are you connecting from (I see you have two .EU accounts)? I may have a particular solution once I get more info from you from another player who was in your position last year.
  6. This is as good a place to ask as any, Cruick, welcome aboard.

    There are a bunch of casual-focused SGs here, so you shouldn't have too much of an issue. Take a look at Altoholic_Monkey's stickies here for our Hero/Villain group listings, and check out some of the more recent entries.

    Personally, I'd also recommend getting into the global channels here and getting to know people first, rather than SGs; find people you like, and then ask about THEIR SGs. You won't like a SG if you can't stand the players!

    Took a peek at your posting history, and saw that you asked the same question with no response just around the time we had the forum reset. Normally we'll respond to stuff like this, so speaking on the behalf of all the personalities of Freedom server, I'd like to say, "Cope, we're too damn busy."

    Seriously, GL finding a crew, and participate in the globals! Luna and E-Man run a top-shelf open-membership TF crew weekly which has very high quality turnout. I'd say start there personally, but they're just one facet of about a billion other facets to our motley crew of a server!

    Cheers,

    -T.
  7. Quick sum: E's team was trying to get a filler for about half an hour, so we started around 11ish officially. That filler then dropped off about 3/4 of the way through, so we were one man down (a /kin, at that, so the SB goodness we were enjoying went to poo). Got to the last mish, and we had one guy sleeping the Phalanx while we pulled various bodies.

    Numina went down normally.

    Statesman did not. With six villains, we were just able to get him around to 10% when he'd go zomgUnstoppable and his health would ramp back up. Worked him up and down the HP yo-yo for about 30 minutes like this before we gave up and reset to pull another of the Phalanx.

    Those pulls went fine in general; again with one dominator chain-sleeping, and the rest of us pigpiling on Psyche, BaB, Synapse, etc. By the time we got to Statesman, it was a team of all 7 of us, which was then able to overcome States's zomgUnstoppable and drop him like a pair of nun's knickers in about 3 minutes flat.

    My apologies to the team; there were two points where I blatantly fell asleep (luckily not during an actual AV fight, but still). I'm reconsidering my runs with you guys because of the sleep issues - unless we start on time, and can conclude the run in 90 mins or less, I don't think I'm reliable as a teammate. I thought I could do it, but in reality, I'm getting old.

    Submit a petition in-game for assistance. You can do this by typing:

    /petition "Trial account flags stuck"

    Hit enter, and that will open up a petition dialog box, which you can then fill out with your explanation as to what's happening on your account. This allows you to send a realtime message to the GMs, so if there are any on duty when you send it, they'll either email you (at the email that's registered to your account) or send you a /tell in-game to assist you.

    To be honest: There's exceedingly little we can do for you here on this issue. Follow the above instructions, and conclude your issue with NCSoft's customer support team directly for the most direct method to resolving your issue.

    That's what it sounds like, yeah. OP, verify if you're still on a trial account or if you're on a fully paid account.

    You may also want to direct your call for help inquiry to the following forum:

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=578 (Tech Issues and Bugs)

    Most of what you described DOES sound like you're on a trial account, but if there's something buggy going on, your best bet is to inquire in the above forum - you'll get maximum visibility on your question.
  10. Heehee, you got the "lf ae water farm" meme in the first screenie, sweet.

    Given your previous comment of pog ma hol, I'd say your inquiry could be very dirty indeed.

    E: Revamp me to King Legbah (lvl 50 thugs/poison MM). You have 3 corr's already, an MM will mix things up a bit.

    5 deaths.
    +40 Merits.

    I set this to Challenge Level 2, just to get a few extra foes... Heroic every week is just too easy. Next week I'll probably even go right to Unyeilding. lol. Anyway, we didn't even do any type of stealthing through either. We took our time and defeated whatever we saw... including the Ghosts from the ship that happened to be passing through IP when we were heading to the mission. lol

    Good times as always. See you all for the next one!
    Good times indeed. I was the lowest lvl member at 26, and 2-3 of the deaths were my own, but overall it was a nice steamroll, esp. with the Ghost Ship interlude!
  14. 10pm... 10pm... 10pm...

    I'll be there. Toon will be Ultima Ratio Regum, BS/Shield scrappa scrappa scrappa.
  15. I think I can assist on this one. You have a few choices here.

    Rex Obscura - Crab Spider
    King Legbah - Thugs/Poison Mastermind
    Blood Supremacy - Fire/Pain Corruptor

    And for the sub-50s but still eligible:

    Coldest Daughter - Lvl 45 Ice/Cold Corruptor
    Bloodseethe - Lvl 43 Night Widow

    Choose, and perish.
  16. Sign me up for this, please. Probably going to bring Blood Supremacy (lvl 50 fire/pain corruptor) for this run, unless you need more muscle.
  17. I'm out of the running tonight. My stupid PC's "hibernate" isn't booting back up, and it's not taking USB KB inputs to recover from the crash. I have no PS/2 KB at home, and it's after hours, so I can't run to Target and buy a cheapie. So, no gaming tonight for Turg.

    And YES, I kept a PS/2 KB for years for exactly this issue, but I'll be damned if I can find it. ;(
  18. I'd love to participate in this one, but I'll be grillin' like a villain Sat evening with some dear friends. Have a blast, people! My newer vills wish they could catch the pain train E's conducting!

    Link, please. I see intermittent issues, but it hasn't been enough to deter gaming for me (a mission's length of time will be borked, and then get better, but YMMV). If there's a discussion on this, I'd like to see it to offer my two cents.
  20. Gaddammit, I did it again, thought it was 1030. ;( I know, that's E's time, I know...

    Oh well, you got J-Man instead.

    Doomed. I think I'll login and hang at Moonfire just to laugh at your circumstance.

I will be looking for a good SG home if there is any looking, I know most TF's but I did leave when the Roman issue ca,e out, then was back for a couple weeks and now back for good. I have my own resources so i am not going to be an influence begger or any of that and even though I am going to be rusty in the begining I am sure I can catch back up to par quickly.

    Anyways, glad to be back on my Freedon server!

    Welcome back to Freedom, Desire. Please brush up on the various global channels here, and get out there into the crowd!

  23. Throw me down for this. Toon TBA, but here are the following options:

    Supreme Soviet: Bots/Traps MM
    Rex Obscura: Crab Soldier
    King Legbah: Thugs/Poison MM
    Blood Supremacy: Fire/Pain Corruptor

    And, this toon is nearly in the right level range, but not there quite yet:
    Bloodseethe: Night Widow
