8PM Eastern time would be real good for me, if the date sticks.
I'm going to try the Game Voice some more this evening, after installing the PSU.
If anyone wants to try it, I'll post my IP in the SG Message of the Day.

Stalemate will be level 26 tomorrow. :cool:
I'll pick up Taunt and experiment with it a bit to see how effective it can be.

You guys don't look where you are going in fights and would pull more aggro if I didn't use smoke on enemies around us (I do the same thing, I'm not ripping on anyone - nature of the game :) ).Quote:

I may keep it and slot it right dunno yet. I am starting to like it.
I started reworking him with hero planner and honestly all I did was rearrange his powers in a different way. Only thing I toyed with was getting stamina earlier and not getting hotfoot but with stamina, hotfoot may be useful. Catch 22…
Got health last night, next is stamina. After I get that I’ll remove a lot of my end reducers and slot stuff with better items. I really don’t see a ton of use for the respec for AUM… I’m going anyway though!!
Get rest the night before because the mission on the 25th looks long and hard. I wanted to do the respec this week but I can wait for then.
I have yet to find a store that sells endurance reducing SOs. If I could buy a couple of those, my Short Circuit would do serious end drain on the baddies.
That confirms that you, as opposed to myself, knew what you were doing when you were building your character. :p
Glad to know you'll be onboard for the respec. I think we can definitely benefit from your tactical expertise on this one. I've been reading up, but I'm seriously thinking about creating a cheat sheet for us to use because of all of the details to keep in mind during the missino.
Stalemate will be fun again once respec is done, but I sure learned from the experience though. EvilGrimace and Fracas (and some future yet un-named controller) don't have to suffer as badly.
Interesting link of the day: Killing Targetting Drone Loop

Might be able to work this for other noisy powers.
October the 25th works for me. However,.. I can't get online until around 5:30 - 6:00 pst (8:30/9:00 your time).
Also,.. just so everyone knows (as I have respec trial experience), this trial is not as big of a deal as it is seems. Basically, we're not planning a trip to the moon or anything and this thing only takes like an hour or two.
Think of it like this:
1> Leader starts mish
2> Go to a door mish. Sneak past enemies (toons with TP do this part), defeat boss, move on to next step.
3> Go to TV, everyone waits at the entrance while blaster(s)/tanker(s) go defeat 25 sky raiders.
4> Meanwhile,... everyone else hurries over to reactor. Blaster(s)/Tanker(s) go after they defeat sky raiders.
5> Get everyone inside and don't move until ready. No scouting at this point either.
6> Once ready, Defeat bosses
7> Enter large hangar
8> Defeat bosses
9> Open doors > defeat bosses
10> Mish over.
* tip: Fill your insp tray with insp's that strengthen your toon. I.e., blaster bring lots of red ones.
* tip: Bring about 2-3 awakens (unless we have a toon with rez)
* tip: Keep the bubbles going.
* tip: Let tanker go in and aggro as many bosses as possible. Then blasters start firing.
* tip: All blasters target one boss at a time (target a tanker or another blast,.. up to you.)
* tip: Protect healer at all costs.
* tip: Rest fully in between battles, but don't wait too long because I think it has sorta an undisplayed time limit.
Other than that,.. it's pretty easy. :D
For some reason this mission keeps making me think of fighting the Motherbrain in Metroid. :D
Perfect. :cool:Quote:

I'm still waiting for Allia's confirmation but perhaps we could ask Star-Light instead (Carbonado's friend).
Terra Volta Roster - 4th edition
Aumakua - controller
Buzzerbeater - blaster (you know you want it :p)
Carbonado - scrapper
Major Blaze - blaster
Raining Blood - blaster
Stalemate - tanker
That just leaves either a healer and/or Diver to express a desire to join up. ;)
Cool,.. as long as we can get some kind of healer. Trust me,.. without a healer,.. might as well not even do this mish. In fact,.. I could almost argue needing 2 healers. :eek2:Quote:

is it me, or did Aumakua get a tan?
It's that Honolulu sun and walking around shirtless instead of cowled up. ;)

The Terra Volta TF is simple:
1. arrest 20? Sky Raiders in TV
2. Door mission, usually in Kings Row. Can use the stealth/TP method to do a decapitation strike.
3. Go to the reactor, and smash your way through. Get rid of all enemies, as you need to acquire keys to access the reactor. Once you have entered the curving hallway outside the reactor, you have 15 minutes to reach the reactor room before the Sky Raiders start attacking. Don't move too fast, as there are a few proximity bombs placed around the area. Have someone use a sniper attack to destroy them.
4. Protect the reactor. Make sure to grab a coolant belt (heals the damage to the reactor). Also get your radiation protection field, as you will take minor DoT while in the reactor without it. You need to protect it for 30 minutes I believe. If you have a FF Defender (or Controller), make sure that they throw their force fields on the reactor itself.
Oh, and Adept, consider getting Provoke from the Presence power pool instead of Taunt. It works just as well, plus it is an AOE Taunt instead of a single target. :thumbs:
Crap.Quote:

Good advice. ;)
Hey, a FF controller! We got one of those! :DQuote:

We'll find out tonight if I'll be available on Monday. :D
The game chat thing that a d e p t has kicks butt. We used it last night and it rocked.
You better be.Quote:

Seriously, I do hope you make it.
I'm back on tonight and will try to work out my Game Voice / headset problems out once and for all.
...during those times it actually worked. :rolleyes:Quote:

Something about you being the same ingame as you are in RL. :p
Why wouldn't I be? I think a lot of the problem was on my end. I'm gonna power cycle my cable modem and see if that clears things up.Quote:

Whoever gets on first can start hosting Game Voice and we'll all join in afterwards.
That will most likely be me again, as I'm leaving early again this PM. ;)
How great is this?

I'm gonna need to lay off the fire rings a bit to conserve energy I guess.

Slot[20] Level 38 : Total Focus /Dmg
Provoke taken instead of Taunt, as recomended by Klarg, Dull Pain taken much later on (could be replaced by Super Speed, as I rarely use it), Resist Elements dropped, Tough Hide taken.
Only 3 attacks favoured when slotting, but with 6 slots. Hasten and Stamina 6-slotted earlier on also.
With the passive invulnerability powers 4-slotted, adding Temp Invul, Invincibility or Unstoppable gets really close to maxing out defenses.
I think this is the final one now. :cool:
I kind of like Buzz how he is. I might rearange things a little, but for the most part I think he'll stay how he is.
I wonder just how much respec they give you. Like for instance, can we change arch/origin? Or do we just rearrange enhancement sluts?
Just slut swapping as far as I know.Quote:

Respecializing a character involves rebuilding it completely in regards to power selections but keeping the origin, archetype, primary and secondary power sets the same.
So you could forego a power entirely in a power set, select an entirely different power pool set to explore, or allot the power slots in a different manner.
Gotta get Stalemate to 27 NOW.
Whoops! Caught red-handed!! :eek2:Quote:
