If you're not a commander, and you see me online, send me a ping and I'll bump you up.

[Neon_Chaos]

Someone needs to promote Neon_Chaos MkII as well.

What the F?

How long did you end up playing? Most of you guys are going to be well ahead of us at that pace.

I think i finished playing at around 12-ish?

I just keep joining 6 to 7-man teams running around and doing missions. Tons of XP by just doing that.

[hoopsguy]

I'm up for some Perez action as well. I've had a couple of missions to hunt Hellions in there already - between missions and encounters that is probably a pretty good place for our group based on current levels right now.

Do you have the Fortune Teller mission? I recall their being a badge or some item reward associated with that one ...

As far as the levels go, it isn't that big a deal to have some kind of spread on levels for the characters with the sidekick/exemplar options. Especially once people get their travel powers (Level 14, assuming you go down that path) the level differences really stop mattering, to a large extent.

If I end up extending beyond the two week trial on this I'll almost certainly be breaking in new alts that will be way lower than you guys - lower level guys catch up quickly, as Neon is demonstrating.

[sachmo71]

I may get on tonight as well. I have to try to get some of my lowbies up above 10. I was thinking more people had lots of alts!

[Yellow5]

Solo'd the fortune teller mission last night.

I am working on my bad guy now, his name is Brutal Deluxe and he likes fire...

[Yellow5]

Ok, the base is setup so only the leader can edit.

Also, for those of you that love stats... Check out HeroStats @ http://www.herostats.org

You download and run it in the background while you are playing and it collects all sorts of information like your avg. damge stats, total damage, injuries and a million more.

During our last 44 minute session I was hitting haymake for an avg. of 41.78 dmg per minute, 2506.73 per hour. Haymaker was my LEAST percentage for accuracy hitting only 68% of the time, while Brawl hit 100%.

[Eilim]

I always assumed everyone was using herostats. I use it to track my badges, plus gather quickly what type of attacks my enemies are using so I can adjust tactics/insp. usage if needed.

That fortune teller mission, the bane of my existance. If anyone is ever doing it and notices me on, please let me know as I need to get that one done and can no longer get the mission. *grovels*

On a side note, if anyone would like to add tech or insect wings to their costume, let me know. I just got a bunch of repeats of costume drops and wouldn't mind seeing them put to use rather than just sold at market. I'll even throw in the components/inf. needed for the combine and an SK/escort to the university and tailor in Steel canyon if needed.

[cuervo72]

You know, I've never actually used HeroStats.

[Eilim]

Me being the badge whore that I am... and closet power gamer... (How much longer to level at my current rate of experience gain? It tells me...must download now.) made it pretty much a quick download for me. It also keeps running counts of all bad guys arrested and drops aquired.Not only it track your dps, but the dps of each power. Also has an ingame tracker that tells you exactly how much longer a buff will last, and when it will recharge.

Throw in the ability to save and parse anything sent to any chat window and you can do some pretty neat stuff with it.

Some people consider it cheating, and I do understand that point of view, but it enhances my enjoyment of the game so much its hard to go without at least the out of game info tracking.

[cuervo72]

I can certainly see it being useful - especially in determining type of damage coming in to pop toggles accordingly. I wouldn't consider it cheating either. Just never really looked into it (heard it was out there, that was about it).

I do have to admit, it looks pretty nice for number crunching.

[hoopsguy]

I got my first look at it last night, pulled up my stats after closing up the game. Interesting info.

In other news, Neon dinged 13 last night after we met up with Senor Bug for some hunting in Steel.

I would love to take on the Frostfire mission either tonight or Saturday night if people have time. It is a Level 12 mission and I'm closing in on Level 14, so I would like to get it out of the way before I out-level it. Back when I was Level 9 doing this mission I picked up about 1.5 levels on this mission alone - it is a long one, but a lot of fun with a big group.

[Lorena]

What's Cuervo's toon's name? I'm not sure if I've seen him online.

Hoops, Ant and I are down with FrostFire, just tell us when and we're there.

[Neon_Chaos]

Frostfire would be cool for me as well. Which Zone is it in?

[Lorena]

Hollows.

You're lvl 13 and you started when? Heh, I think someone is seriously addicted

[SirFozzie]

The Hollows

I just wanted to maximize my two weeks.

I've been playing higher toons, actually. :o My Inv/EM tank Oro Liquido made 50 the other day, and I've picked up my Mind/Kin troller Blue-Agave again (42.5). So I've been portal hopping a lot.

[Yellow5]

Count me in for the Frostfire mission.

[Antmeister]

I want in on that Frostfire action.

[Antmeister]

And I also want to reach level 14 so I could finally get that travel power. It shall be Super Speed for me.

[hoopsguy]

So how about we shoot for Frostfire sometime around 8PM (CST) tonight? I'll be on just after my kid goes to bed, which is usually right around 7.

I didn't pick a travel power set with this alt - I wanted to maximize my team support powers and figured I could talk someone into teleporting me around for missions. Oops - we have no teleporters. I'll probably be frustrated enough by this to address it when I qualify for a respec if I end up staying beyond the two weeks.

[Yellow5]

I'll try to make that time, but will probably end up on later than that... around8-9pm PST.

[hoopsguy]

We can push the time back if that works better for the group - just throwing a time out there as a conversation starter.

I would allocate about 90 minutes for this mission. Also, lets be smart and bring some "resurrect" items as there is no hospital in the Hollows - long walk back.

[Lorena]

We have to pick up our kids at 8pm so 8:30-9:00pm would work for us.

that is central time

[Neon_Chaos]

Anyone know how to upgrade my account once the trial is over?

Do I have to buy the $19.00 game?

[Neon_Chaos]

any time after 8:00 central is good for me.

[Antmeister]

That would be a NO. You only have to pay the monthly costs.

[SirFozzie]

Here's the task force I want to run this weekend. Enemies will be L15-16 on Heroic Mode (base level)

Since Yellow5 can't get on until 8PM PST (10PM CST), let's just schedule for that time unless you guys are going on hot dates or something.

Ahhhh, I remember this mission back in the day. There is one huge clockwork enemy that is gonna take a while. But we all fall in that 10-15 range now.

That's actually a different TF, I think (the one that ends with fighting the Clockwork King )

Sure, lets shoot for doing this shortly after Yellow arrives.

I would love to do the taskforce as well. That one will take substantially longer - would recommend a Saturday or Sunday for that, as the task forces usually run 4-8 hours.

[Lorena]

It was something like, "Go on a hot date, come home to play a computer game... that sounds like a winner" or something like that. I didn't want people taking it the wrong way.

[hoopsguy]

I was hoping it was something making fun of your husband.

But the "hot date" comment was begging for snarky remarks, no doubt about it.

I think I could use the tech wings.

[sachmo71]

Also, King of MArdi Gras is a teleporter...just need to level him some.

[hoopsguy]

Hopefully by the end of the weekend our main alts will be dominating Steel Canyon rather than needing escorts/protection when roaming the streets.

Nice, that will help Waterloo since he tends to attract danger when he is alone.

Any kind of additional fluff for my character would be nice as well. I'll take them wings.

[sachmo71]

Herostats says...I was earning 2963 xp per hour today. :P

[Lorena]

Stupid question but, how do you guys know that thing ain't looking at other stuff on your computer?

[Eilim]

I thought the same thing at first, but after checking around and finding so many people using it, and fan sites(badge and info tracking based) using it as their main automated engine, I felt it was a safe enough bet it wasn't a pw stealer or other nefarious app.

Also, I *think* the source is available for you to compile yourself. I might have to look into that a bit more myself as their is some functionality I'd love to add.

[Yellow5]

It's an open source app so... the source is available.

Created another char today on hero side. Jonathan Cabot! The hero from Gymkata!

[SirFozzie]

I'm coming on for Frostfire and stuff

[Brillig]

Um, unless they changed it you still need a retail game code for your account, so he does need to pay the 19.00...

Yeah, but how many people are compiling the source, as opposed to downloading an executable and assuming that it's compiled from the publically available source code?

Just makin people paranoid. HeroStats is almost certainly safe. I don't bother myself, just because it's pretty pointless information from my point of view...
