Gotcha

[kingfc22]

King Smooth is now Lvl 11 after a good nite yesterday.

[chinaski]

OK, now that im up to speed.... new character.... lvl 8 Scrapper - Wu-Tang7

[Raiders Army]

Updated with Napalm at 44, Professor at 41, Hellspirit at 17, and Psycho at 17.

[Lorena]

Wow Raiders Army, you're right on top of things... thanks

[Antmeister]

Darn it, this game is ridiculously addictive and I am already level 19 with Mystikhan. And this is with 2 weeks of play. Dodgerchick's character, Hellspirit, is already level 18.

[larrymcg421]

All three of my characters have improved. Super Shamrock is lvl 18, Irish Brute is lvl 11 (after teaming up with King Smooth to beat Frostfire) and Irish Empress is lvl 6.

[kingfc22]

Irish Brute and King Smooth have made an excellent team a couple times so far.

[larrymcg421]

Actually that was the 2nd time we beat Frostfire. I'm starting to get used to playing a Tank. When I started the character, I just wanted to go around smashing things. But now I realize that the most important job for a tank is to take damage. My last two upgrades have been armor and I can take quite a punishing now.

[Raiders Army]

Updated with Professor Ion and King Jeremy's levels. Forgive me, but I can't remember DC's new gal in the SG.

[JeeberD]

Angel Azul, I believe...

[Bad-example]

I ran into an arch-villain, Nemesis Rex, while soloing a PI portal mission. I used up all of my inspirations early in the fight but settled into a good attack/defense rotation that allowed me to slowly whittle him down and finally stomp on his corpse. The fight took probably 8-9 minutes. Some AVs seem much tougher than others...the Countess Crey seems unsoloable, at least by a DM/Invul scrapper.

Earlier, White Napalm and I teamed with a couple other heroes on a Rikti portal mission. It was pretty fun jumping into the middle of 5-7 +4 aliens and kicking serious butt.

[Antmeister]

Yep, Dodgerchick's new character is Angel Azul and I just reached level 20. Hip hop hooray!

[Bonegavel]

You can delete Pyronancy and add Holisticka to the list. She is a tick away from 11. I never thought an empathy defender could be fun. I'm having a blast with her.

Oh, and she has a sweet ass.

Done. I'm glad you like playing an empath. For real, I keep getting sleepy while playing a bubbles defender. That's why I forget to bubble sometimes.

[Raiders Army]

Dola, would any of you guys be interested in doing a Task Force Saturday? I would suggest Positron (levels 10-16), but that may take a little too much time. Maybe the Synapse Task Force? (levels 15-21). Would anyone be interested in doing one?

I think if you post your preference for the Task Force and when you can be available that would be great.

I vote for Synapse and I'll be available that night or early in the morning.

[Marmel]

Nighttime on Saturday for the Synapse would work for me I think.

I am now at lvl 17 and should be 18 by the weekend.

What time on Saturday are you talking? I have to be at work by 6pm Central and will be there until 1130 or midnight.

D'oh! Just remembered my parents are coming into town this weekend, so I guess I'm out no matter when it is..

[kingfc22]

I should be available on Sat night around 8 pm PST.

Zorro II is now lvl 8 and 3/4 the way to 9.

Will try to get King Smooth up to 15 by Sat. for this task force.

[Raiders Army]

If you need a little nudge to get to level 15, just let me know and I'll help you out.

[Bad-example]

A TF sounds like fun. Any time is ok by me as long as I have enough advance warning to set aside that time for gaming. My first choice would be to exemp down Professor Ion if possible.

I am wanting to start up a Spine/Inv scrapper but have not figured out a good build plan yet.

[KWhit]

I'd love to do a TF. I created a new character lvl 10 fire blaster. Burn Maiden.

[Raiders Army]

Updated with Burn Maiden and Myst's level 21.

Okay, to coordinate a little bit, the TF is much easier when we're all close in levels. This is mainly because the mobs will spawn at somewhere +2 from the highest level person. I would either bring White Napalm or Sweet Bubbles to exemplar down to an appropriate level. Level 17-19 looks like a pretty decent range. And we could probably do this by either sidekicking or exemplaring. Understand that if someone exemplars, and if the person who exemplared them quits or disconnects, that person is booted from the task force.

[Airhog]

Since my trial ran out, I havent bought the game yet. I probably wont. It was a fun diversion, but I found the game just lacking that spark to keep me coming back over and over again.

[larrymcg421]

My understanding is that by exemplaring you don't get XP, it only erases debt.

True...also if you don't have debt, you gain double the amount of normal influence while exemplared.

[KWhit]

Burn Maiden leveled, so she's now at 11. She's excited about a potential task force.

In fact, she's stoked.

[larrymcg421]

Depending on the time, I may be able to join this task force with either Super Shamrock (LVL 19) or Irish Brute (LVL 12). I hope Sham will be much higher by then but it's been near impossible to find a team at his level.

[Antmeister]

I am down for the task force. Mystikhan is looking forward to working with the super group. PM will be best. In fact anything after 1pm PST would be great.

[Lorena]

Hellspirit is ready to get down... count her in!

[Raiders Army]

Okay, I think we have Marmel, kingfc, Bad-Example, KWhit, larrymcg421, Antmeister, Dodgerchick, and myself going. I'm on the East Coast, so it's a little harder for me to stay up later at night (especially at my age).

11 PM EST is a little late for me to start the TF. I'd like to start about 10 PM EST, 7 PST, if that would be agreeable for everyone.

[kingfc22]

I should be able to make that as I get off of work at 7, but I could easily get off a bit earlier.

What night are we talking about? And are we trying to do this all in one night or for a couple of hours per night for as long as it takes?

I'm an east coaster also, so staying up til 1 or 2 am isn't possible during the week.

[Raiders Army]

Saturday night, and do it as long as it takes. Should be 2.5-5 hours.

Maybe for us East Coasters, we need to start earlier. Here's a snippet from the CoH Guide:

Basics
*Started in Skyway at Synapse
*Team must have 4-8 heroes
*Levels at formation of TF 15-21(actual level without side kicking)
*TF members can side kick other members 3 or more levels below them.
*No one can be added after a Task Force is formed/started. *Heroes Disconnected or who camp out without quitting the TF will automatically rejoin the TF unless all members have quit the TF or it has been completed.
*You cannot talk to contacts other then Synapse during the TF, though you may still use stores.
*TF leader will have to contact Synapse to start/flag the next mission when one is completed(later you will be able to call him as the TF progresses)
*Everyone must be in the zone(Skyway) to begin/start the Task Force
*Synapse's TF takes 2 1/2 - 5 hours to complete
*All members that complete the TF recieve a Single Origin(SO) enchancement at the end-if they have room

The Task Force
Once the team is formed the leader needs to speak to Synapse. Synapse is located near the trainer in Skyway, just east of the Yellow Line Station. The leader accepts formation of the TF and gets the first mission. You should have the leader remain at Synapse & and 2 of your fastest members stationed at the train station at the start of the TF, becasue once formed your first task is to Patrol Steel Canyon (they need to visit 5 locations there). While your runners are patroling, have the remaining members scout for Clockworks in Skyway,but do not engage them. After the patrol is done the leader gets the 2nd task which is to arrest/defeat 30 Clockworks (grey cons count) now you have your team members engage the Clockworks they scouted, while the leader waits at Synapse. After the 30 Clockworks are defeated, the leader triggers the 3rd task. Someone must speak to Positron in Steel Canyon.

Positron is located in front of the big statue in Blyde Square. The leader may have need to speak to Synapse after that to flag/start the next 3 tasks which are door missions(Usually in Steel Canyon). After those missions the leader will need to return to Synapse, while the rest of the team waits in Steel Canyon, as the next task given is to Patrol 2 locations in Steel Canyon. The leader remains at Synapse while team members get the 2 locations/phones. After the patrol is done the leader speaks to Synapse to flag next task. It should be another door mission. When you exit the leader should be able to call Synapse. Patroling/visiting 5 locations in Steel Canyon is the next task. When that is done the leader calls in and you will be sent to Boomtown to defeat Big Bertha. Upon finishing that you will be sent to 4 door/warehouse missions First is defeat Long Tom. Now you are the home stretch. Three final missions. First is door, rescuing workers. Second is to defeat Clockwork Lord. Plan to be ambushed upon exiting by Babbage.

He isn't that hard. Next someone will usually need to run to Positron to pick up a device for use in the final battle.
And behind door number three.... is the Clockwork King and his court.You will need to make sure that everyone has clear inventory because everyone that completes the TF recieves a Single Origal enchancement. The King will also drop one that gets randomed to the group. That means everyone will get 1 but some lucky hero gets two.

[KWhit]

I can do that.

[Antmeister]

OH great, I think I may be screwed. I am already level 22. Can someone exemplar me or something and I would still qualify?

[kingfc22]

Sounds like fun.

I think you'll be okay with exemplar

[Raiders Army]

White Napalm got level 46 tonight!

Edit--47 too.

I hate you.

Lol...grats! Although it was pretty low of you to let me believe I was gonna catch you.

I hope we can get the logistics worked out on the task force. Getting the levels straight sounds like it might be tough.

[KWhit]

Burn Maiden is now lvl 12.

[Bonegavel]

Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, CrooooooooOOW!

Holisticka is now 11.

[Bonegavel]

This TF is brutally long. Need a lot of fire power to speed up the pace.

[Raiders Army]

9 missions, not including the patrol this, talk to someone. I think it's pretty doable in about 2.5 hours...definitely 3. We just need to get who's doing it straight. Please post your character, archetype, and projected level for Saturday Night. I'll start and keep the first post in this thread updated with who's doing it.

[KWhit]

I'm in. Burn Maiden - Fire/Fire Blaster. Should be lvl 13 by the time of the TF.

[Bad-example]

Professor Ion will join in if the level issues can be worked out. He is 44 now and would need to be exemplared down.

[kingfc22]

King Smooth should be between lvl 14-16 by then.

[larrymcg421]

I really want to be a part of this, but I will not be able to make it home by 10PM EST. I might be able to start by 1030, but really the earliest I could guarantee is 11PM EST.

[KWhit]

Burn Maiden might be able to make 14 by then if it makes it easier to get the levels worked out.

[Raiders Army]

Hmmm...I don't think this is going to work out with the levels. You need to be at least level 15 to do it. Maybe we should hold off for a week or so. Let's put it off for a while, but if anyone wants to team up Saturday Night, we can still do that.
