Casual TeamThis weekend's Blood Moon and Angie need to chase wolves for her shiny "woof" Action Figure as well as farm Coward's Lament. So how are people fixed for Friday 12th August 2011 4-5pm and Sunday 14th Aug 2011 4-6pm both are in Server time? Maybe even trying to farm a Nimbus of force or two on the Sunday to aid the team? Yea Blood Moon weekend also means farm time for me. I'm available to team up with you in your farming if you feel like it. If not, no worries we can always use more nimbus. Guess we'll see about team farming, should be fun to see it as a SG event (aka pick your Nightfall toon and farm your ass off in a Nightfall group) Making it more available for people with multiple toons under Nightfall to join the event while being on a team. Granted it mostly applies to me but we have a couple of other people inside the SG that didn't join the team runs. I still haven't seen Ace online lately. If you (@collide) see him before I do ask him if he will be available or if it's OK if we carry on and he plays catch up later. Either way I think a run on Friday should be done.

Either way I think a run on Friday should be done. I've ingame mailed the whole group anyway. Ace hasn't been on these forums for the past 10 days, ingame seems about the same. He's probably just on holiday or similar. I seriously want the group to hit lvl17 soon, we could use Void's Heal and you get the lovely Eye of the Storm as well. On that note Friday 19th I'm off for a bit but I'll be back Tuesday 23rd so I'll try and ensure we get another 2 hours or so in before I go.

Casual Team OK I reckon I can guarantee I'll be available Thursday 18th August 2011 4-5pm Sever Time - only an hour but it's the night before I'm off to Wales for a long weekend so I'm not around until Tuesday 23rd. we can push the end time a little if we're on a long mission
While I might have basic laptop/internet there I probably won't be able to get ingame.

Well slight "problem" ahead. My current gold subscription expires some time tomorrow or Sunday (not really sure when and I should have checked before posting but didn't) Now I do have a gamecard for another month of gold but there's a possibility that a storm or at least a weather anomaly (sounds more interesting that way don't you think) will be hitting us Sunday or Monday. If someone in this town sneezes that means a power outage so imagine what a storm can do. Therefore I won't be renewing the gold subscription until that thing is gone. Casual team is already awaiting the return of collide so the only team affected by this will be Hardcore.

Not a big deal on my end Joh. I can work on Dead-Eye or mess around with other heroes or even load up my new guy and run him through the tutorial.
I guess my only real problem is my Gold will also run out soon (8/31) as of that time Wolfpack will be unavailable. I am planning to snag another 60 day card but my Gold will likely lapse for a couple days depending on how long the card takes to get to me.

OK Irene behaved so I'm back and gold. We can resume the team runs when ready. Also and this is COMPLETELY Experimental: Project Nightfall Open Team Runs. What that means is that if enough people are interested Nightfall will open its doors for team runs to Free Forms. Now that doesn't mean you NEED a freeform, it means that ATs and freeforms can start team runs 1-40 like we've been doing. If you're interested let me know and when you're available (server time) so I can start preparing the teams. Remember you need to wear the Nightfall uniform (page 1) or a close variant as your default. Meaning the tutorial will have us wear the uniform.
Those that use a freeform please plan your build ahead of time, get the champion builder so you know what you want and when to respec. As I said this is Open so if you rather use an Archetype you can.
One thing though, Nightfall is still an Archetypes only group, meaning that freeform toons can be a part of Nightfall for the runs but they won't be canon in Nightfall stories. I know it doesn't make much sense at the moment but I hope that when The Foundry finally gets a Champions Online version that I can work some storyline with the team canon.
So to recap, if you're interested let me know what times are good for you, use the server time so that everyone can tell if they can make it or not. Thanks

Casual Team - how you fixed for server time 4-5 on Thursday? 4-6 as usual this saturday as well.
Joh - glad to hear the idea about freeforms, be insteresting to see how that pans out.
BTW - my subs is about to hit a lapse point and I'm seriously considering flipping Firestarfly to Freeform now rather then mess with her later when it might cost. My plan if to level her to 40 then really tweak her a little and take advantage of 3 more powers rahter than radically re-design her. So like Angie she'd end up an AT+ keeping close within theme and I would wait until level 40 to make any 'outside of AT' changes. Got until about 22nd sept before I lapse tho.

Well the phone company decided to make phone lines emergency only since yesterday until about 30 mins ago. So that meant 911 calls only, if you wanted to contact someone in your family you would have to use telepathy. That also meant no internet so yea... Casual Team - how you fixed for server time 4-5 on Thursday? 4-6 as usual this saturday as well. If everything is in working order sure Joh - glad to hear the idea about freeforms, be insteresting to see how that pans out. It is sort of a scary thought at the moment lol.

Well freeforms will be able to join Nightfall but only those doing the team runs and they won't be canon. So that means two (maybe three) things. You would have to start over from lvl 1. She won't be canon. Possible 3rd, she won't be in Nightfall at all if you don't want to level her again from 1. Think it over and let me know, I sort of liked the idea you had involving Red Ace but can work something out if needed.

The freeform (non canon) Nightfall Supergroup has been created. Unlike Project Nightfall this one will only have people I know in it (people from SECRET and Project Nightfall itself mostly with a few from my friendlist that don't belong to either)
The first team run will be tomorrow at 2:30-3:00pm server time. If you want to join in, let me know by posting here, PM or /tell. Even though this is for non canon Nightfall if you are in Project Nightfall and you haven't started your toon you can join the run, just let me know. That goes for you too ixq.

CASUAL AT TEAM: This Thursday 8th Sept 4pm -5pm server time, are you both free? I can only really do an hour but looking foward to picking up where we left off.
Hopefully 4-6pm this Saturday (10th) should be fine but I'll have family round all weekend and if anyone ends up stopping over I'll lose all PC access.
Joh - FYI made my mind up FireStarFly is staying AT.

My current gold sub will expire on September 21/22 and I have no plans to renew it until CO has something else for me to do. Team runs are a blast, but due to our time zones and RL responsibilities they don't happen as often as I had hoped. Almost two months since the runs started and we are still under lvl 25.
Now I'm not disappointed in the team members, I for one felt the need to stop playing the game's missions for a week or so due to boredom. I've been playing CO for almost 10 months, God only knows how many times I've replayed the same missions so it does take its toll. I still enjoy most 5 men lair runs, kicking Mega D's butt, doing Bullet bound for Biselle, playing Resistance and obviously messing around on PTS creating new toons and new builds. I have high hopes for the new Alerts system, don't see a release date yet. There's a lot of speculation to what the new Free AT will be, can be interesting but once I go back to replaying the same missions I'm dead tired of playing I will once again feel frustrated. There's also the possibility that the free AT is a premium AT going free. Assuming it's either The Specialist or The Inventor I might be able to continue 1 of our team runs. If neither option is available then the team runs will be on hiatus which is something I didn't want to do. We already lost 2 people since we started as they grew tired of Champions Online and moved on to other games.
I have a passion for comic book type super heroes, especially with such a great character creator as the one CO uses. So I know that even if I leave the game (not saying I will, just that I'll be silver for a while again) I will eventually come back but I'm not sure the rest of the team will be willing to wait for however long it takes me to come back to gold. You could say I could just buy the ATs I need to continue the runs, but with the chance that The Foundry will make it to CO there's also a chance that I will go Lifetime if it's good. So anything free for gold will be money wasted and my job doesn't pay me that much to begin with.
With that said we have almost 2 weeks of runs before the hiatus. Let's make the best of them.

Sorry to hear that Joh but it's not really unexpected. Now bearing this post in mind: champions-online.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=supergroup&thread=221&page=64#16324How would you & Void be if I could lock Tuesdays & Thursdays from just after 3pm servertime for casual team? I'd still probably have to finish at 5pm. I should know tonight whether I'll have PC access over the weekend, look for posts here if I can't as I can still get on forum via my phone otherwise see you in game. If you wanted to we could try some PvP - Blood Moon Zombie Apocalypse does seem appropriate.
