[CoV] Scheme "Night" Sat Dec 22nd 3-5pm cst

CyberJackal

I was thinking about this over lunch, and maybe a single night wouldn't be such a good idea. Already we see that not everyone can make the current team nights as scheduled, so maybe we could actually set up a few different times where at least ~4 people can devote 2-3 hours to doing whatever(missions, TFs, maybe even PvP), and can accept having their characters locked into a TF for a period of time. And if other people show up who weren't usually in that group, then that's awesome and that much better, but I guess the idea would be that there would be a few set periods of time where we say "This is teaming time."

I don't know, maybe that might be too tough to implement, but I sure don't want to be stuck in another late night due to my living on the east coast.

For that just come into the thread and go, "Hey I want to do the Sewer Trial sometime this week. Who could make it on X night?"
Considering rare recipes drop from Strike Forces, Task Forces, and Trials I think having a Sunday Night Virtue thing would be a good idea. Most stores close between 6-7 on Sundays for anyone who is a retail worker and for those who don't work Sundays we can show up earlier. I don't know, I don't think we really need a set time for it. We can just start planning to do stuff on Virtue on Sundays in general.

I would like to join in on the Strike Force, but I might have some other things going down this Saturday. Can any of you speak from experience as to how long this SF lasts? I just want to know that I'll be able to commit to the entire run before I put my name on the list.

Doesn't matter how long it is, we're stopping after 2 hours. We can pick it up again next week.

Actually, wait, did they fix the bug for people who are dropped from SFs?

They did. (Thank goodness.)

This is good news. How does it work? We all just log without quiting the SF team? It's been a while since I've done any Task/Strike Forces.

So then here comes the team-splitter.

Ebon Torch - Fire/Dark Corrupter - Level 17
Hildis - Thug/TA MM - Level 17
Calystix - Ice/Psionic Dominator - Level 12 (will be at least 16 for this weekend)
Taiga Dryad - 14 Plant/Ice. I ought to be able to get up to 16 or 17 by Saturday.
Synchronic - 17(16 currently) Elec/Elec Brute.
Inferno Cock - Fire Dark Corruptor - Level 16
Col. Devlin - Mercs/Dark MM - Level 15
H A Z M A T - Rad/Therm Corruptor - Lvl 17
Mr. Malignant - Fire/Fire Dominator - Level 17

The Dude With Herpes

Hey now; start a new SF signup, or wait and see if someone doesn't show on saturday.

NAND NOR

I was under the impression that we would split the players into two teams, since you only need four people on the team in order to do the Strike Force. If I'm wrong then I'll take it down.

Accualt

Nah, we'll split into two. Only 8 signed up for the Hero Night TF and we ended up with 16 doing it.

Well...okay, but I want the Brute on my team. :P

Accualt

We'll try and make it as balanced as possible. If we only have one Brute...the other team gets two MMs. =p

The Dude With Herpes

Last few weeks there's been at least one other brute than me I think.

Kind of odd we're so short on brutes.

Accualt

There are more Brutes (9) on the roster than anything else they just don't show up.

CyberJackal

If you've got the right one, you only need one.

Pb

Team 1 gave up after running into a brick wall of 21s (we were 17). Maybe next week.

Corvus

We got smoked on Team 2 as well, same situation. We were a mix of 17s and 15s.

Bitstream

So what you guys are saying is that I should roll a brute and catch up.

Can do.

Any specific combos you guys are short on? I've never gotten past 4 or so with a brute or a tank, so I'm up for just about anything.

Accualt

Be whatever. I will tell you that my Fire Armor/Stone Attack Tanker is the most fun fun ever. I imagine a Stone/Fire Brute would be equally fun but really fragile.
Stone Armor can make you nigh unkillable but slows down your attack rate. I would recommend against Dark Armor unless Dark Melee is your primary. Otherwise everything is good.

I don't think it really matters what sort of Brute you are to be honest. The first post in the thread has most people's powersets listed I think.

Pb

I will say that /EA is a poor brute secondary for teams, though.

Accualt

Are we shooting for the SF this week since everyone is higher level? I'm game.

Gear Girl

What level were the enemies spawning at. I got the impression that the SFers were getting destroyed.

Accualt

Twenty with, I think, some 21s. That won't be a problem now that we have mostly 17s with a few 18s.
So, yeah, I wanna do the SF before we out lvl it. What manly men of manlyness are with me? Lovely Ladies of Lusterness are welcome as well.

Rag

20s and 21s, we got stuck on a big group of 20ish bosses last time.
Should be good this week.
And my Stone/FA brute is incredibly fragile but very fun, nice in groups when you have lots of mobs to work on.

Gear Girl

I probably won't be here again. Damn family always getting in the way.

The Dude With Herpes

I think the 20/21's would be far less of a problem if we weren't all TO using nubcakes.

me and my bruteness will be here.

Accualt

If anyone is interested I'm going to show up about an hour early and try to get a Bloody Bay team togetehr to grab some Shivans.

I'm game. It'll give me a chance to try out my new COSMIC BURST! Hopefully my game won't crash again.

Accualt

I know a bunch of us hit 19, did anyone reach 20?

Corvus

I hit 17, and picked up as many Accuracy DOs as I could afford. I stuffed three of them into Seeds of Confusion, so I ought to be at least somewhat over the normal AoE control power Accuracy penalty.

Also, Domination and Power Boost make a mean, mean, combination.

Pb

I won't be able to make Scheme Night this week, so you guys can find someone else to absorb all the debt. I imagine Ghost can fill in admirably.

The Dude With Herpes

If you see Synchronic as level 22 or whatever, don't worry; I'm going to be out of town this next weekend so I'll miss scheme night. I know 22 will be the level, a lot of us were pretty close today, so I'll just get it; I want Stamina and 22 for my 2 respecs on the 1st so I can go straight to SO's (for however many I can afford anyway).

Rag

Looks like I won't be able to make it this weekend, good luck.

Corvus

I should be back this week. Had a job interview last Saturday, so I couldn't make it.

Going to become a Nazi fighting historian?

Corvus

Sadly, no.

Pb

I'm going to miss at least part of Scheme Night; I have to look at an apartment.

TwistedJester

Would 12 be considered too low for scheme night?

Pb

If you can get to the missions under your own power you're high enough.

Sars_Boy

so, how do I get in on this?
