It was alright. Managed to find a solid group. 2 tanks, 1 controller, 2 defenders, myself, and 2 blasters. Solid all-around, and we cakewalked through my rampage to lvl 19.

You can take your time with Faultline, there are two very short story arcs from 15-20, and a short and medium length one that you can't get to until levels 20-25.
---- Checked out the base, looks like things are getting going, but you seriously need some paint . No need to think about going to a bigger plot any time soon, that should come well after you get rid of the oversight room and replace it with 'real' power and control rooms. Besides, the smallest plot size is free, once you upgrade you start having to pay rent (in prestige) monthly... |

So attempt #1 at Positron was not exactly a success - I think we got about halfway through before people dropping combined with party makeup did us in.
Played long enough to clear out some old missions, get about halfway through 19. See you guys on Thursday and Friday nights - after that my trial will be up and I'll be taking a break for awhile. I've pretty much decided to play on, but at a reduced schedule. I'll probably be good for 1 night per week and probably one weekend day/night. Will tinker with starting up villains and seeing if I can keep Waterloo close enough to the other characters to be mildly interesting. |

Positron can actually be soloed, as it's the only Task Force without a archvillain.
Also, TF's don't need to be finished in a single setting, but it takes a pretty together group to log back on and pick up a TF after stopping mid-stream. |

I actually did some building last night. Not much, but check out the room when you teleport inside the base. If you have access, all you have to do is use the current influence to purchase items/decorations.

To make these changes, I believe you have to click the "Edit Base" button. If you click "Upgrade Base", it will only give you options to build other rooms.

I've got a bunch of weapon racks that I can add if people want to see those.
Also, last I saw we were capped on enhancements. Is there a way to go beyond 100 of these? If not, then lets start moving some of these items out of there, folks. |

Once we build a bigger base, we can build another enhancement table
(Of course I think we can move any basic enhancement right out of there.)

Ok, so I'm in Perez Park the other day, helping my good friend Waterloo locate a cave entrance. While he's inside doing his thign fighting crime, I'm just sorta roaming around checking out the park when a giant ball of snot hits me in the head. Not only was this annoying, but it hurt! (350 damage, plus a small DoT after the fact.) Now, Founders Falls, Crey's Folly.. I understand this sorta thing, its expected.. But Perez park?!?1 Come on now. So I hop on the wall and take in my surroundings, low and behold I see the mighty Kraken.
Now, normally, I'd see the purple with no level, the tag "Giant Monster", and just be on my way. But this thing had the nerve to spit snot at me! He was going to go down. After recording some images of other heroes engaging the kraken (yeah, so what if they all went down like a sack of potatoes, they aren't me.. I'm the Mighty Uafasach, damn you!). the call goes out. The brave heroes Waterloo and Neon Chaos MK.II join me in my battle. This despite the protests of our not so fearless leader.. "Your all going to die", along with other disparaging remarks along those lines. And she calls herself a hero, worse yet, a scrapper. *Hides face in shame* Anyways, we enter the fray.. and I'm sure you all know there was only one way this could end. Had a blast in the attempt to even scratch him, failed attempt that is. Only regret is I think Waterloo faceplanted along with me, next time run dammit! If a scrapper makes the run call, you know things have gone bad. Unless of course its Galeana, the gurly scrapper. *snicker* |

Me: "You guys like XP Debt huh?" Uafasach: Awww we can take em! Forward men! *splat* Me: Told ya so. Uafasach: I just wish I could've reported that we budged his HP bar.

I'll have you know it was initially Waterloo's idea to take him on. I was completely content with repeatedly running up and punching him in the jewels a few times then running away.
As of now I know if I actually had inspirations, I can tank him for a good bit of time. Also, I can sit there with my damage near capped, cycle through all my attacks for a while and he will just stand there, laugh at me, step on my head, and then continue to spit snot at me. |

Doh! Now you tell me, I'll try that next time I see him up. Waterloo, Neon, you game for another try? This time I'll duck! He's doomed for sure. I'm just annoyed I had stopped the demo recording a bit before we attacked and didn't think to start it back up. Could have made a nifty little music video out of it. Ofcourse, I would have had to find a short song... A very short song. |

Dola:
I also believe at one point Foz warned the others something to the effect "You guys do realize your listening/following a guy who has been recording demos of heroes getting stomped by the kraken for fun, right?" Here is one such demo recording I had made a little while before tasting the dirt of Perez park. At the time I hadn't realized fozzie was hunting in the area untill he sent me a tell asking if I was just going to stand up on the wall all day. (That right about the point you'll see me pan over and see Gal standing over quite a few prone bodies.) You might notice my somewhat delayed response, but I was giving a running commentary of the fight in about 3 different chat channels at the time. I think this was the 3rd or so group I saw fail in their attempt. You'll also get a nice shot of me getting a snot ball in the face as I lost sight of the kraken and went in for a look. Going to try and turn it into an animated gif for use as an avatar on some forums. Heres the demo: Link (right click, Save as) And here's a link to the demo launcher that makes demo viewing so much easier: Demo launcher link Edit: Just actually sat through the 3+ minutes of nothing after the heroes fled, didn't realize I had recorded that long. If you actually bare through the time of me just staring at the kraken, you'll see me make one of my runs to see how much damage I could do, and take from him. This is one of, if not the first runs I did, as I bailed the minute he landed a heavy blow, not sure how often he would land it. No laughing at my hopping, thought I had hit super jump, but obviously hadn't. After a few later runs, realized he seemed to miss quite a bit, and didn't land the 600+ blow as often as I feared. Also came to the conclusion touch of fear was not going to work, and that I seemingly could not damage him at all on my own no matter how often I landed blows.

I still believe that if we had a group of 10+ people going in after him - like I had when I was part of a Paladin mission in Kings Row - that we could take this guy down. And I want a part of it.
As for the face-plant, I got whacked in the time it took Inertial Reduction to go on - couldn't jump away in time after taking a couple of hits immediately following the defeat of Uafasach. |

On an unrelated note, two of my three missions are in Kings Row. Seriously, when are they going to stop shipping me here? I'm frigging Level 19 and there isn't anything above Level 10 in the whole place!
I want Faultline, Talos, and Independence. I'll accept Boomtown, Steel, and Skyway for another couple of levels. But no more Kings Row, Atlas, or Gal City! For whatever reason, my contacts haven't gotten the memo on Kings Row. |

*looks over at the others and whispers* Guess I shouldn't tell him I spent most of 35 doing contact missions that sent me to King's Row... with a few hollows trips thrown in for good measure.

Well the trial has come to an end last night and Eilim is correct, we do have to pay. I am still curious if this holds for buddy accounts, but I guess that doesn't matter since I don't have one. So with that said, I would have to pay $60 for DC and I to continue and then tack on the $30 bucks a month.
I don't mind doing this if a number of people are going to stay. Neon has already informed me that he may not continue due to both the price and bad network connections at home. So I am just curioius. Who plans on continuing?

I'm continuing.
Get the Good v Evil Pack for the two of you. $19.99, a free month for one account and some bonus powers. You'd still have to pay the monthly fee for the both of you though.

Ok....wait a minute. It looks like Fry's Electronics. I will have to see if the price is still the same since we live half a mile from one.

I'm going to continue playing for a little while at least. I'll probably be taking one week off before getting back in the mix.
Finances just got a little tougher at home, but I think I can justify the $15/mo for this will keep me from spending money on other activities that would exceed this rate. We'll see how long I can keep telling myself that |

If you're over there, I'm playing as Naretev, lvl 7 mastermind.

You guys want me to set up a Villain Group? I was thinking of CFOF: Villains for Hire, or Maximum-Villains.

I'm all for the villains group - will break one out in the near future.
Played last night with Neon in a fun group, finishing off the Dr. Vahz storyline. Hit 20, picked up Vengeance. So, while I won't be rooting for anyone in our parties to die, I am looking forward to breaking this power out |

Naretev is up to level 15, after leveling twice in a two hour period last night. With this build (MM Merc/FF) I've been able to solo on the highest setting (relentless) without much trouble at all.

Masterminds are definitely a blast to play. So far its been the only character to pull me away from Uafasach at all. I'll probably get back to him after this recent push to 40. I want another costume dammit. (I say that now, but once I hit 40 I'll probably want to push for 50, just because I'm getting close and I'm falling in love with the RWZ. )
