Friday I played with my various alts on Triumph — taking each out for another spin and getting a feel for them, as well as creating the haughty Amethyst Queen (Broadswoard\/Inv scrapper), who would be fun to play “in production.”
\nActually ended up teaming up one of them — Captain Antares (Energy\/Energy blaster) with another odd group of three or four others (the number varied, which was one of the odd things). That I was the oldest person in the group (older than the total of the others, I suspect) also made it odd. (When anyone asks, “How old r u?” it’s usually a bad sign.) Cap is another one I’d like to bring “live” onto Champion.
\nFriday night, Margie and I took Kazima <\/strong>and Torchielle <\/strong>out for a spin. Fun. Unlike previous instances, we felt a lot less “brittle” than before, and managed (both duoing and teaming up) to survive and thrive.
\nThe Brunch-n-Brawl on Saturday has already been noted as another K&A show. Again, a lot of fun, some good XP, and some good teaming.
\nMargie and I got on again in the evening with Psi-clone<\/strong> and Amorpha<\/strong>, at last. We brought in Avocet on a mish (and kudos to him for bearing up with so much exemping down this weekend), then ended up getting pulled into a surprise birthday party for Callypsa. That’s not the sort of RP I usually get into, but it was fun enough, and it introduced PC to Lady Photon, which might develop into something interesting down the line.
\n\"2005-08-14_tv.jpg\"Most of yesterday was taken up with errands and house cleaning. We got on by 5, though, to run the TV Respec with Velvet <\/strong>and P-siren<\/strong>, as organized by Ode to Joy. Lord, what a slog. Team of 8, but everything, both prelim and at the reactor, was conning red and purple, and in copious numbers. Velvet was the sole tank — along with one controller (Mal) and one blaster (Avo), and everyone else a defender of some sort (Ode, Sun of Glory, Agent 12, Doctor Rune, PS). Crikey. A couple of deaths, mostly when we managed to aggro the entire control room (due to an anchor who ran riot through the place) and had to duke it out for what had to have been 10-15 minutes. After that, the core was almost anti-climactic. Double-bubble goodness and enough XP to nearly level Velvet. (PS was hampered in levelling by some griefer TPing lvl 52 Nemesis to the Talos train station. Yikes.)
\n(PB commented that there’d been a lot of griefing over the course of the day. Wonder if the Summer Kids are winding up their stay …)
\nAfterwards (and post-Kitten), we ended up on an odd team with Dr Awesome, Avo, and Zazi, along with … hmmmm, memory’s faded already. Anyway, Velvet was the sole tank again, and we rolled through some some missions without any real problem, getting Velvet through her last two bubbles to ding 28, the “Rage” level. Woo-hoo.
\nThe irony about Sunday being a Velvet\/PS day is that on Saturday night, during our one PC\/A team (again, along with Zazi), Amorpha got the Nemesis staff. If we hadn’t had the Respec Trial already planned, we would probably have been focusing on those “mains” — and we will be, for the next couple of days (though we’ll have a late start tonight).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
