Happy Holidays!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!! I hope is having a wonderful holiday. I haven't been on COX as much as I would like but I have enjoyed some of the events. I had a chance to tour Faultline and do the contact and policeband missions. Very cool. I love exploring the tunnels. It's nice to have some new content.

The Winter Event is currently going on. I've had my share of nice presents as well as naughtly surprises. :) But it's been fun. I haven't talked the Winter Lord yet or attempted the mission from Father Time. I hope to do it before the event ends.

Lastly I want to send another welcome to all the new alts. I'm created a warshade and hope to stick with it this time. I've gotten my third lvl 50 recently with my fire/rad controller. The policeband missions on Invincible seemed to do the trick. Definately better xp overall.

Again Merry Christmas to all & a very Happy New Year!!!

Debt Brigade Base Insta-Raid

The base raid on the Riders of Apocalpse is December 10th @ 4pm Pacific time. Since this is with another supergroup to participate you will need to quit HI-Guard and join Debt Brigade. I will also note that Debt Brigade members have first priority for a spot on the raid team. A team is up to 16 members. Debt Brigade has a large roster so there is no guarrantee for a spot. It seems many people are signing up for this raid. If we are able to get a spot on the team, the supergroup leader will email us with instructions for the raid day to include pre-raid meeting time and strategy. The raids last an hour. Once over, we can rejoin our supergroup. The raids get very chaotic after you use the raid teleporter to enter the opposing supergroup's base. There will be alot of dying but no debt. Stock up with breakfrees and awakens. But it is a lot of fun. Hope we can get a couple of spots!!

I also want to take the time to welcome our new coalition Naughty Knights of Paragon. One of their members, Kitty Rose, is a lvl 50 scrapper that has returned to City of Heroes after a break. She and I played many late nights together. She's an awesome teammate and we always had fun. I want to thank Naughty Knights for joining us and hope we all get together to do missions/TFs in the future.

Base Changes & Miscellaneous Notes

I worked on the base the other day and made a few changes and additions. I changed out two teleporter rooms and replaced them with the 4 teleporter room. I've been working on this for a while so I was happy to finally get that for our base. I've place a second storage bin in the workroom. The second will be for salvage I've crafted. I've also placed an enhancement bin. Please use what is stored in it. I'm mostly using it for lowbie toons to enhance or sell for influence. A tip on selling enhancements: Try to sell your enhancements in Talos to the same origin store as the enhancement. Like for example selling Magic enhancements to the Magic store. You will get much more influence. If you can't get a lowbie to Talos safely, try going to Steel Canyon or Skyway.

My goal for the base is to upgrade the plot. The next size costs 1650000. So I plan to start working on this at the start of next year. It's obtainable and I'll just take my time to achieve this amount. Between myself and others we have enough lowbie alts to earn prestige. We earned 1 million prestige in 4 months so it can be done.

On a last note, Debt Brigade has a couple of inta-raids coming up. One tomorrow against Old School and another next sunday against Riders of Apocalypse. I usually help DB out with these when they schedule them. The one against RoA is what I'm looking forward to since they are #1 on the Triumph server. They have an impressive 20x20 base. It should be interesting to say the least. I will post the whole gory details about both raids.

Everyone have a good weekend. Enjoy Issue 8. Also the Winter Event is on the Test Server.
