City of Heroes anyone?

[Bad-example]

I bought CoH and it looks like a lot of fun so far. I will raise a character to lvl5 before thursday evening. I have a tanker (Chillblade) and a blaster (The Shrubber) on Victory.

[ageofquarrel]

is anyone on virtue under lvl 5 i need a guienia pig for one of my new powers send a tell to Toxic Shock. Ill give you some good influence for it probably be on for another hour or so

[Bonegavel]

Tonight is round 2 of Victory Night (TM), 2100 EST.

I will be bringing my controller (lvl 5) to the party.

BlackFedora

[condors]

littlewatt level 5 elec/elec blaster should make this one!

[JeeberD]

I'll try to make it on after work tonight, which could be anywhere between 8:30pm to 10:30pm Central...

And I'll be briging GI Jeeber, of course.

[Bad-example]

I will be on The Shrubber tonight if there is room for him to join in the fun, or I could switch to my tanker if there is a party balance issue.

[hoopsguy]

Another fun evening last night, had about 8 different people participate over the course of the evening:

BlackFedora
CometFlash
Project Schism
Chillblade/Shrubber (did not realize this was same person until now)
Lug
Key West Mike (cameo appearance)
GI Jeeber


We weren't able to maintain the "no deaths, easy XP" standard from the first night, as a ridiculously large number of Vaz took us down the first two times we tried it. One thing we learned there is that we depend on our controller (Fedora) pretty heavily for the large encounters. With him gone, and one wrong pull of a group, things got ugly quick.

Another fun encounter had us taking on a colony of Hellions. Forget who said this, but commented that the two-level room stacked with criminals looked like Shawshank. Our first aborted attempt left everyone dead. I had just hit level 6 with my healer and tried to vacate as the last guy, only to die five feet from the door. Yuck ... of course, no one had an awaken and I was the only guy with resurrection. Good news is that Fedora has picked up Teleport for party members, shortening the walk of shame from hospital back to mission. On the subsequent effort we unloaded on the Hellions.

Most of the party is Level 7 at this point. Hope we can do this again next Tuesday. If someone else wants to make up a healer I wouldn't mind having the option of playing either my Tanker or Controller with this group every once in awhile. Of course, it will get harder with time to just whip out a character that is the same level as our group.

[Bonegavel]

I was the source of the Shawshank comment

I wish I hadn't been so tired and full of gloom (my patio seems ok even though it rained heavily most of the night) as we had a good session.

I felt bad for Chillblade after we asked to switch from his blaster (shrubber) to this tanker and he proceeded to get whooped upon and dead. What happened to bare-chested, margarita sipping Fritz?

I think we have a really good mix of powers in the group and I'm having a lot of fun playing my first controller. It would be great to be able to get some sort of dynasty going, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

Hoops, we can get together in off nights on Victory to promote other chars to the same level so we can switch it up. Just let me know when.

[Fritz]

Sorry I dropped guys. When I died and got kicked to the medical center the PC locked up. By the time I got back online the phone call I had been waiting on came through.

I ought to be around for the next session and will spend some time catching up a little.

I did level once, and took distract. Supposedly you can use this to get one baddy to attack another, which seemed like a good power when you are fighting a horde that may just be too strong.

BTW, were those wind gusts doing anything?

Thanks gain for letting me in.

[Bad-example]

Hey that was fun last night. I didn't mind the deaths with Chillblade too much. I am still learning the game so dying is to be expected.

I started a new tanker (fire/fire) to replace Chillblade...that turd armor graphic is just too horrible LOL. He is named The Charbroiler so keep an eye out.

Thanks for letting me join. Good fun.

[gi]

Back from vacation and ready to join the Tues/Thurs Group. ID on Virtue: Motown Mayhem ID on Victory is Gazzoo (Sp might be a little off.....I'll confirm soon.) Controller - needed a break from healing...Though I have rad healing.

[hoopsguy]

What was the turd armor power anyway? I remember seeing it and thinking it must be some kind of mud power ... trying hard to give you the benefit of the doubt.

[FloridaFringe]

I had a lot of fun as well except for when I would lead others to their untimely death, by accident of course. Having only played ranged characters in both CoH and Dark Age it may take some time for me to get used to running with a tanker. Hopefully things will get easier for me and I won't make so many stupid mistakes. BTW, if you can't tell, I'm very hard on myself when it comes to these damn games.

Fritz, I was very disappointed not to have seen you there since you had already split by the time that I had gotten off of work. My character was created on your behalf and I was hoping to get a laugh out of you once you had seen him. O'well, maybe next week.

At any rate, I look forward to next Tuesday and Lug is completely ready to roll some heads.

I have it on Fighting Miner and it's a sort of rock armor. You're supposed to be so in tune with the earth that you can draw upon it's strength to give you protection, or some garbage like that...

Although I patterned and named Chillblade to match his Ice Melee offense, I chose the Stone Armor defensive set because the powers looked like a strong combo. In my week plus running around, I never saw any stone armor graphics on other players, so I figured they were more subtle graphically, like the Invulnerability power set.

Had I known my new power was going to make me look like last night's dinner, I would have went another way. What were the developers thinking?

[Fritz]

I leveled Key West Mike up so that he will match the travelling party. I am little worried about what Florida Fringe has in store.

[korme]

man, i would play this if it wasn't 15 bills a month..

[gi]

Got gazzo up to 7, ready for Tuesday.

I've started a tanker on Champion (i wish the server page would indicate which servers you have a character) and the tanker is very weak at early levels. There is not tanking except into the hospital. Others are telling me that the tanker comes into its own around 8-10th level. I hope because I can't wade into melee and live. I'm an Invince/Fire tanker and I should have named myself PushOver or SirDiesALot. I know the hospital staff by name.

[Peregrine]

I think you just have to be careful with tankers at first. I really had few problems with mine in terms of dying, but you don't really start getting your abilities slotted up till level 10 or so. A lot of people (including me) make the mistake of getting Provoke too early, like at 8 or 10, when your defensive abilities can't handle the aggro that Provoke provides. I'm still liking my tanker a lot, up to level 17 now.

[gi]

After tonight, if it really looks like we need another healer, I will level one up to the level we finish at. Looking forward to tonight's group. What time does everyone usually sign on at?

Around 9 pm.

I now have a tanker and a controller, what does the group want me to use?

Also, what is everyone else bringing to the par-Tay?

[gi]

Controller with a minor rad heal.

[FloridaFringe]

Lug the Old School Midget Wrestler (Security Level 7 Natural / Super Strength Tanker) should be able to attend tonight btw 9 & 10pm EST.

[ageofquarrel]

project schism willl be on tonight also at 9

[MrBug708]

What server are you guys on?

[JeeberD]

GI Jeeber will be there with guns and grenades in hand at 9pm eastern...

[JeeberD]

Dola-

MB, we're on Victory...

[sterlingice]

Not quite "with bells on"?

SI

[Bad-example]

I should be able to make it...my fire/fire tanker The Charbroiler and The Shrubber are both level 7 so I can use whichever fits better.

[gi]

On now...looking around....Name: Gazzo

[Glengoyne]

OK so there is a regular group forming Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 Eastern?

And this is on the Victory server? OK I might just have to work a character up in level there, and join in.

By the time I log in there are no FOFCers online. I dont' start until 10 or 11 Pacific time. I will have to try and get out earlier a couple of times.

[hoopsguy]

Doc Evil should be there in about 15 minutes. I don't think we have other healers, so I'll keep him rolling along instead of my Tanker or Controller (Lvl 7 and 6, I think).

[gi]

Had fun last night, even with all the deaths. Made a Healing defender before I left, will attempt to get him to 8th probably tonight if anyone else is interested to level up a character for the Tues/Thur Group. I'll be on around 9pm EST, name is: Aucoin

[Bonegavel]

OMG! Worst. Team. Leading. EVER. I thought it would be a walk in the Perez Park but it turned out to be nothing but a stretcher ride to the hospital. Still was fun, but they should put the hospital closer to PP.

I'll try and get that screen shot posted when I get home later tonight.

[Fritz]

I will be happy if I can just get out of debt next session

[Bonegavel]

we did one last mission after PP and that easily wiped out my debt so I'm sure you'll be debt free in the first half hour.

Our combination last night was a bit interesting. IIRC, in the beginning there were 2 or 3 controllers, 2 tankers, 1 blaster, and 1 non-healing defender. Doc kept dropping and was the only true healer on the team.

As much as it would be good to get the "perfect" mix of ATs for our group, I think I am more interested to see if we just use whatever combo shows up and see if we can find a strategy to make it work. Adds a bit of uncertainty to the mix.

[rufusjonz]

Lvl 16 Def
The Famous Nujack
Victory server
Knights of Justice SG

[Bonegavel]

Updated the CoH name/server list. Let me know if there are any errors.

[hoopsguy]

Sorry I wasn't able to help out the group last night. I had just a terrible time getting onto the server. Plus, I had some offline issues going on last night that really should have gotten my full attention instead of CoH. After a certain point of restarting, I got the impression that karma was kicking in and decided to step away from the computer for the evening.

What level are guys at now? I'm not sure how much time I'll have before tomorrow night's session, but I can probably get up to Lvl 8. Also, I suspect that the level of the healer relative to the group isn't quite as important as just being there.

Finally, I would enjoy a night in Perez with this group. I've taken this character there a couple of times in between our visits and have always had a good time with large groups in Perez. Plus, I'll cut down on the long walks back from Atlas when people buy the farm. Now if I can find a way to get the new video card before tomorrow night .....

I made a new guy also hes is called gravity threat. gravity/force field controller ill be on tonight to help you.

[gi]

Aucoin is signing on now...

[ageofquarrel]

grouped with gi tonight it was fun exept in the beginning. Had the pleasure of being in a team with the biggest dipshit Ive met in the game so far . Name was heartbreaker. first we go in the sewers and then we dont get any xp because there is a lvl 9 in the team. He (i am assuming) kicks out the guy without saying anything. I just shrug it off. Then we get split up and 1 of are tankers dies. He doesnt have a revive and then the dipshit says he has one but wont give it up. Then the red flag goes up in my head that this person is defiantly a dipshit. so the tanker goes to the hospital and makes a comment about the persons maturity. Then after a minute kicks him out because he was going to sit there and leech xp.

Everyone quits and i sent a tell telling him good luck getting out of here alive alone fuckface. Unfourtanly i died trying to get out(no debt yet). And i see the dipshit coming out of the hosptial. Easily the dumbest person ive had to deal with so far in the game.

[hoopsguy]

Wish I had known you guys were on ... I was hitting up Perez getting Doc Evil up to speed after missing most of Tuesday.

Also, I think I've resolved at least some of the drop issues I've been banging into. I sent the virtual memory settings way up from where they were and had a pretty smooth evening, particularly in comparison to the last few nights of play. That, plus pulling the Novell client off the workstation have the PC humming along so far.

[Bad-example]

Sorry I had to leave so abruptly on Tuesday. Charbroiler had a pretty good time overall. I will try and make it Thursday but I might have to take care of some family-type stuff instead.

[gi]

ageofquarrel you said it. That person really pissed me off. The day was saved by teaming up together with the remander of the team minus that guy. Had a great time and made two levels. Level 5 now. If it wasn't for my early start yesterday forcing me to leave at 10pm, I'm sure we could have made another level. I probably will not be on until around 10pm (EST)..depends. Seeing Monty Python's Life of Brian in the theater, last day it is being reshown in the theater so I have to see it at 7pm tonight.

Thanks again ageofquarrel for the great group!

[Bonegavel]

Ok, so let's meet in Atlas Park 2 tonight at 9pm EST and then head into Perez Park. We can patrol the streets or head into the park. I think that entering from Atlas is better than Galaxy.

See you all tonight.

Who are you bringing to the suarez?

I'd like to bring my tanker, but he is only 4 or 5th level so i guess The BlackFedora is making another appearance. Since there are other controllers (AoQ just made one and Key West Mike) I may start a blaster or something.

See you in Atlas Park 2 tonight!

[condors]

you can remove gwain from viture server i deleted him and Kieran is now 16

[JeeberD]

I most likely won't be able to make it tonight. Tonight is my lone day off this week and when my girlfriend gets off from work this evening we're going to go see Prisoner of Azkaban.

I love me some Harry Potter...

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Crud, the movie doesn't come out until tomorrow night. That makes me sad...
