I'm assuming Paragon Wiki is the best place to go for info, how to convert, how to build, what kind of builds, how to progress from Alpha and so on. I have 2 50's that I want to work on. One already has the +1, but I feel as though I might be starting from scratch with him.

Also Astral and Empyrean merits, and Incarnate XP, yikes. Lot's and lot's of info and stuff.

So the question is, is the Wiki the best place to go?

Roll call. Shakeup will be here this week. I love travelling for work, but I am done for now, at least until spring time. Nice little break.

To all the team members from south of the border, Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey everyone, sorry for leaving so abruptly, but a 2.5 year old niece wanting to play doesn't wait for nobody, lol.

Anyways, Shakeup is out of town this week for work (for real), and I'll be back next week.

You can link up with the team next week. I am travelling for work, but will be back after that and shouldn't be on the road again until spring time. We are definitely a black ops team with a whatever happens happens attitude. Some stay on the light side and just hurt people, while others of us do a bit more.

Can you only pretty much have two Incarnate powers and use one at at time?

Double post, lol. Roll call for tomorrow night. Shakeup will be there.

Ok question? Mouse, when we change alignments, can we go straight up Villain? Second, do we play without xp while running tips so that we don't miss to much content?

Third, reroll, reroll, reroll. Go for whatever you guys want. We need to feel comfortable with our characters, so I'm all for it.

As for shakeup. I have played Tanks so much, and this is my first Dom, so I am feeling my way through it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it

Moxie would work as a Tank, definitely.

Tally, up to you, but the support you provide is good. But your call.

To some extent I agree with both of you, lol.

Hey TwilightDusk, feel free to join us next week.

I know Freedom just launched not too long ago. Must admit, I have been slightly underwhelmed by what has been offered. Is this possibly because they are going to be launching more stuff in the new year? Any thoughts on this? By the way, not setting my expectations too high, more curious than anything else.

Roll call for this week. Shakeup will be there.

Hey Serial, I agree it will add some time. I would be up front about that. If we are talking about adding 30 minutes to a 3.5 hour TF, well, it's long either way, if I'm gonna spend 3.5, 4 is not much of a difference. I just think it's fair to have everyone in before we start. Besides, if we have a good team, we can steamroll the missions.

Well, I am thinking of running this. So good to know about Rogues. Would hate to have someone kicked part way through. I may try and run this this weekend, but maybe in 2 hour intervals. Start one session, take a break for 30 minutes, time to reboot pc and so on, and then back at it. Or if everyone is good, 1 sitting.

What I would want is to only start the missions once everyone has entered. So with some that have slow loads, which I experience on occasion, it won't be such a problem for them then missing out on XP and rewards.

Have never run it, but I am leaning towards trying this soon.

I was looking at maybe 3 hours as a hoped for running time. Having said that, I realize it could take longer. I am thinking about scheduling something to see if I can get 7 other interested people, but I have to decide if this is something that I even want to do, lol.

I assumed that the TF pretty much took place in the Shadow Shard. That's good to know. In terms of the missions, I would want to start each one once every one entered the mission. I don't mind speeding through, but not until at least everyone has entered the mission. Never done the TF, but thinking about it.

Not sure if that helps, but what is the best mix to run this TF in let's say 3 hours. One hero would be a blaster, my hero. But curious, what would be the best mix for the next 7?

Roll call for Thursday night. Shakeup will be there.

What about the Praetorian police and the clockwork blasts? Are those going to get worked in, or do you think similar graphics will get worked in to future blast sets?

For a long time villains groups, and heroes and AVs and Heroes and so on have had great costume pieces that for one reason or another have not made it to the player base.

My question for this is why?

Now, let me qualify this. I remember years ago I ran a D&D campaign. I got creative creating NPCs and magical weapons, and one of my players asked why do the NPCs have all this cool stuff and we don't. A number of reasons. They were NPCs. Allowed me to great tougher adventures. But at the end I thought, they're right.

So it got me to thinking. Why doesn't the same thing happen with some of the costume/costume pieces that are available to the NPCs in COH. If it's cool and not tied to an iconic character, then why can't we have it? I know some of it is animation related, but still, why?

Any thoughts. Not sure that I articulated my thought clearly. Let me know.

Have fun at Ghostbusters, we'll see you next week.

It's funny, everybody says build new roads. We need new roads. What happens, the old ones crumble and nobody uses them anymore.

Not sure that analogy works, but, if they keep focusing on new, then the old never gets used, and all that time and effort that went into it in the first place is wasted. If it's because they want money, then develop new animations, ones that took some effort, and release them as alternate animation packages.

Always look forward, agreed. But make sure what you are leaving behind is in good shape too. There has to be balance, and I think that gets lost some times.

It's funny, lately I have been finding great teams. Ran a Citadel with all Trollers and Corruptors, and we breezed it. Ran a TF with all melee, one spider (can't remember) and me, a blaster, oh, and we did Hess and Moonfire in 1.5 hours combined. There are good players and good teams out there. Bad string of luck.

Welcome back.

We are on for Thursday night at 7:00 ET. See you all in the city.

A new guy. This is the Second Class for the Gold Corporation. It is more of a black ops group. Once we hit 20, we'll be running tips so that we can go redside and back to blue side.
