The AE Storyteam Ænvasion event continues across the pond! Our first EU server Ænvasion target is Defiant on Sunday, July 3rd!

Come join us for a simple, fun, AE team-up, where we will run non-farm AE arcs and share our unique playstyle with you! If you're an AE Enthusiast or just interested in teaming up with fun players and trying out something new, this Ænvasion is for you!

We will meet in the RWZ AE building so it's co-op and all levels & ATs are welcome to join.

We will be choosing some of AE's best stories and leading you on the missions, sharing our unique brand of teaming where we focus more on the story than just combat. We've scheduled the Ænvasion for Sunday, July 3rd at 12 noon Eastern/9am Pacific/5pm BST (I hope I got the BST right) in RWZ.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please post here and let us know. If you have any questions or suggestions, I'd love to hear 'em! I look forward to playing with you and showing off the fun side of AE!

tl;dr version:

What: Story-driven AE teaming
Who: Open to all players (any level or AT)
Where: AE Building in Rikti War Zone
When: Sunday 7/3, Noon Eastern/9am Pacific/5pm BST
Why: For FUN!
About us: The AE Storyteam is a group of players & authors who meet every weekend to run AE story arcs and search out the best AE has to offer! We've developed our own unique brand of AE teaming where we share all the contact dialog with the team and take our time to read and experience as much of each story as we can. We're always looking for new members who have a passion for playing & creating AE arcs! You can find members most times on the global channel, "MA Arc Finder" Join in the AE fun today!

Haven't seen any posts from anybody yet, I hope you're just being shy and plan on attending this weekend

I'll be playing my Defiant alt as much as I can this week to get some more levels before the event (it's kinda rough at times when the team has to be ex'd down to my alt's level) so if you see @backfire looking for a team in global, pick me up and let's rock a bit!

Also, can someone confirm I have the BST time correct? I've always been bad with numbers >.<

The timing seems right to me. It is when I normally log on for the AEnvasions.

I hope that Defiant makes me proud with a good showing, even if it is the weekend after issue 20.5 launches.

I found a new arc that should be a lot of fun but I may need a lvl 50 to lead the group this Sunday. It's high on the challenge scale but totally worth it for the story!

Anyone who's planning to be there got a lvl 50? I can teach you all the tricks to sharing text with the team

As the Ænvasion nears the end of its first cycle it seems to be picking up even more steam! Week 12 took us for our first trip across the pond to Defiant Server and nearly 2 full teams showed up to experience Mad Science themed Mission Architect mayhem! We played 2 arcs this week!!

#177370 "Relativity be Damned" by @Tragic Eight Ball
4 mish/Heroic
(Dev Choice)

#115174 "Vernon Von Grun's Extraordinary Extradimensional Excursions" by @Igor Blimey
5 mish/Villainous

Comics and Paragon City are ripe with stories of Mad Science, but I chose these 2 arcs to really illustrate what makes Mad Science work..."passion."

In Relativity be Damned you meet a passionate scientist that (I think) is trying to teach you how to have a better appreciation of science. Personal risks are irrelevant in the face of her scientific achievements and, of course, things go slightly awry and need your intervention for fixing. Along the way you travel to alternate times, dimensions, and even get to team up with the biggest name in science: Einstein!

While some plot points aren't fully developed, motivations aren't always clear, and there are a few typos, the passion your contact has really brings her alive and elevates an otherwise simple story to something memorable. BEST EINSTEIN TEAM-UP!

Now, for a true Mad Science enthusiast you need to take a trip to the Rogue Isles. There you will find an uninhibited thirst for knowledge and Vernon Von Grun's Extraordinary Extradimensional Excursions! "Passion" is almost too tame a word for Vernon's exhuberance for science and this arc dials that aspect to 11!

The dialog, details, humor and customs in this story can scarcely be contained in the arc, much less explained in this review. Suffice to say, Portal Corp is doing dimension hopping all wrong and there's only one man that can make it right...Von Grun!! DUNN DUNNN DAAHHH DUMMMM!!! Warning: the difficultly level is a bit higher in Von Grun's world than your average AE arc. Bring friends, insps, and a spare keyboard if you plan to drink while playing! This is the kind of arc that deserves to be a Dev Choice. BEST OVERALL - BEST SOUNDTRACK
Major thanks to our mates overseas, on Defiant, for joining us! I'm so glad the severs now allow all of us to experience this game together and share our passion for fun stories & comic book action!

Next Sunday (7/10/11): the Ænvasion! wraps up it's first cycle on the other English speaking EU server...Union!! Join us in the AE Building in Rikti War Zone at our regular time: 9am Pacific/noon Eastern/5pm BST. I will be picking out more noteworthy arcs and leading the general mayhem that ensues!! Remember, all levels and ATs are welcome, so feel free to make an alt and join the Ænvasion!
