Eden Trial!

[suburbanhell]

Alright USS, this is "the big one", or at least the biggest challenge we've had to date. Woodsman (http://cityofheroes.gameamp.com/modules/gallery/uploads/2914.jpg) has contacted us for this one, he needs at MINIMUM four of us to venture into Eden and rescue a few heroes. From what I understand, TIMING is everything in this one and we won't have much of it. I did some research on this and this is what I got back from another hero who had done this previously:

"Eden trial is a 4 hour timed mission in which you defeat a ton of Devouring Earth and break through two walls which are archvillains. After you break through the 2 walls you eventually come to an area with natural stone bridges over deadly acid pools and you have to keep your inspiration slots open so that you can receive ambrosia inspirations. They come from Greater Devoured. You will need them in order to face 'Crystal Titan' who is a 'gargantuan' class mob. He can kill any hero in one hit if they are not buffed with ambrosia. Before you defeat 'Crystal Titan' though you must clear the room of other Devouring Earth, and defeat all the guardians guarding the heroes in crystal prisons. Break the prisons and you have saved the heroes."

I have already spoken with some of you previously on this. I think it's best we get a healer on the team, which is something we don't seem to have often in the USS.

This is our mission folks, let's do it.

((its actually one of the best task forces/missions and make sure to take lots of Screenshots as their are lots of parts you'll want to remember :) if you guys end up with a slot open and need a non SG mate to tag along drop me a line and i'll happily bring Jetblack 13 my level 38 Kin defender along for speed boobs and healings ))

((Yeah it's one of the most fun things I've done in this game and it's pretty much the origin of the PWN Squad: 6 of us did 2 Eden Trials back to back and we've been PWNing ever since. The term gets thrown around a bit more loosely these days for any particular team that is just a dominant force, but the 6 of us know who we are. Consider yourself signed up. Krypto's bringing a non-USSer along too (Duo). ))

[Bitter Babe]

((I've never done this trial before so I'm looking forward to it :) ))

[Grae Knight]

I can bring along Coyote Storm. Would have to do it anytime after 7:00 pm. However, if needed, I can replace Coyote with Ideal who is Rad/Psy. This Trial is pretty tough without the rad debuff. Both are defenders, Coyote-41 and Ideal-42.

[TopHat]

((I wish I could join. Good luck, gang))

((For the purpose of USS before non-USS, We'd prefer Coyote. We don't have to totally powergame it. :) Also, would Sunday be better for people?))

((Good luck with your account fix TH. ))

[Scarf_Girl]

im good either way , the more notice on a time and date makes it easier to juggle a social schedule for me :)

[suburbanhell]

*nod* I'll try to finalize the time as soon as USSer #8 steps up to the signup page. Right now I'm thinking Noon Sunday if that works for everyone?

[RedSwitchblade]

Count me in with someone.

Tank, Troller, or Scrapper. If we can get my Storm defender to 38, thats also good. My PB will be mostly useless versus DE.

Edit: Consider the Defender, will try to PL her tonight and tomorrow to qualify. If it's Saturday, then 11pm-ish EST. If it's Sunday, name a time :P

[suburbanhell]

Ok 11pm is probably not a good time for us to start so I'm suggesting Sunday at Noon eastern time. The team is currently full I am allowing alternates to be named incase we have any no-shows, so if you've got interest don't back away just because the team is currently full.

I would also suggest anyone on the team get TS since it may be easier to coordinate attacks/strategy. Red would it be possible to have our own channel within the DoP TS server that day?

Good. I will school you on being a stormie. Class will be in session! :P

[suburbanhell]

Sunday, Noon Eastern? Yes?

[Silentkilla866]

Chauvinist accepts these terms.

[Grae Knight]

Sunday, Noon Eastern? Yes?

Barring any unforeseen occurances, I will be in attendence.

[Scarf_Girl]

The rabbit will be there as well tho I might respec her for fly :)

[Gaia]

I would have volunteered Regal or even ex'd Empy for it. Wish I had known. Twilight Avenger of course is unavailable. Good luck as always.

[RedSwitchblade]

Good. I will school you on being a stormie. Class will be in session! :P

No need, I'm quite versed in the ways. :P

And DoP TS is a go, for sure.

Edit: ****! My schedule was misread. I have this coming Saturday off, not Sunday.

[Bitter Babe]

Doh! Switch your schedule now!!! :P No TS for me as for some reason my mic isn't working, yet it does on Burby's computer. Guess it's just time for a new headset.

[Scarf_Girl]

likely no teamspeak for me either , just got a new pet goldfish and the sounds make him depressed

Edit: he just died ! might listen in on TS as usual !

[Bitter Babe]

Yes you must listen in and then give us witty comments in game chat ;)

[Yin]

HOW did I miss this? Oh well. Sign me up as an alternative. I'll log in at the same time as you all and just run missions outside of the trial if I have to. :D :P

[suburbanhell]

Well if Red can't make it you're first in line for the spot. Golden Streak is 38 right? :)

[Krypto]

Amazing how we're all around the same level, huh? :p

[Yin]

Well if Red can't make it you're first in line for the spot. Golden Streak is 38 right? :)

Yessir! I forget how close he is to 39 though.

[suburbanhell]

Cool. Be ready you just may be pinged to join the team. :D

[Krypto]

That's what she said.

[Gaia]

So I take it Regal isn't good enough for an alt then.:( Should be 40 by the end of the week. I was wishing you well from TA's point of view (don't worry the lowbie will be taken care of soon. . .*goes mysterious*)

[Grae Knight]

I just found out I have something to attend on Sunday at 2:00 pm edt so I will have to bow out.

[RedSwitchblade]

If we're locked for Sunday, then I'm out. Sorry guys.

[Bitter Babe]

Awwww :(

[Green Tower]

If you want an 8 man team and can't find enough USS folks, I offer my level 40 BS/Regen Scrapper, Bloodbath Jack as an alternate.

[suburbanhell]

I'll put you on the alt list be ready cos it looks like we'll need you for sure.

Edit: Forgot Grae was out, GT You're in.

[suburbanhell]

If we're locked for Sunday, then I'm out. Sorry guys.

Sorry Red, we'll have to do this again soon, maybe PWN style, since Beebs is almost ready for this trial as well.

Yin you're in.

[Bitter Babe]

Aye Bitter is 37 so we'll have to get a PWN team doing this soon :)

[Krypto]

(( Guys, an important note:

* Level: 39-41
* Contact NPC (Zone): Woodsman (Eden)
* Min. Team: 4
* Enemy: Devouring Earth

Eden Trial is level 39, so everyone who isn't 39 yet (including myself) get leveling! ))

[suburbanhell]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Edit: Well ****. I guess we could do the Abandoned Sewer Trial if everyone can't level by then, and given it took me 7 1/2 hours to get 4 bubs on 38 this weekend...

[Silentkilla866]

Hmmm...

From the desk of Mr. Z...

[Bitter Babe]

Ugh that is bull! I don't want to step in nasty sewers!

[suburbanhell]

Well we'll be doing some teaming tonight with our 38s.

[Bitter Babe]

After chat I can join.

[suburbanhell]

Ah right forgot you had that tonight. Ok well I had been talking to Krypto about it and said we wouldn't be ready until 7:30/8:00 anyway, so we'll just have to make it 8.

[Green Tower]

Ah right forgot you had that tonight. Ok well I had been talking to Krypto about it and said we wouldn't be ready until 7:30/8:00 anyway, so we'll just have to make it 8.
Saturday at 8 works for me.

[Bitter Babe]

That wasn't for Saturday at 8 GT, it was for last night's teaming. Most of us are not level 39 which I guess is the minimum for the Eden Trial so we are teaming every night to make it happen.

[Bitter Babe]

This is still scheduled for Sunday at Noon Eastern.

[suburbanhell]

I dinged 39 so I'm officially ready for this.

[Meltman]

Eh, I can't make it at noon on a sunday. Would have really liked to do this, too. (Never did it.)

[suburbanhell]

Yin, Deebs, SK, all 3 of you need to get to 39 stat.

[Green Tower]

Whatever you're doing Sunday at noon works for me. Eden/Sewer trial.

[Elemento]

If you guys don't mind> I've had two toons waitin for an Eden :)

[Scarf_Girl]

will try no promises :)

[Bitter Babe]

We need the bunny! Just let me know when you'll be on and I'll run with you, Anglican is 4 bubs from 39, Novastryke dinged 39 last night.

[Krypto]

I dinged 39 so I'm officially ready for this.

Grats!

[Silentkilla866]

Yin, Deebs, SK, all 3 of you need to get to 39 stat.

I'll make it.

[Gaia]

So I take it Regal isn't good enough for an alt then.:( Should be 40 by the end of the week.

I Put this on 4-23. I had asked the previous day too and no response to me. Regal is 40, but it seems I'm being ignored. This is my third and final time asking if you even want one of my characters.

[Bitter Babe]

Are you going to be able to be there for 4 hours without interruptions and going afk for a while? I know you have a family to take care of and we want to make sure we have a full team the whole time honestly.

[Krypto]

Aye, especially because it's a timed trial, it's very important.

[Yin]

Craptastic. Not going to be able to make this! I forgot I had planned on going to church this Sunday. Put me back in as a filler if ya don't mind. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[suburbanhell]

Ahhh that sucks Yin. :(

[Elemento]

Posted yesterday morning here if you needed someone.
I have Wild Fury standing by the Woodsman for last two weeks. LOL

[Green Tower]

A lot of fun on this TF. The kind of fun that makes you laugh. And the kind of fun where you choke back some vomit.

[Krypto]

[Joe Schmoe]

[Green Tower]

Hahaha! I didn't notice that. Amidst such danger and action, she pauses to blankly stare at you. That's creepy.

[Grae Knight]

Hahaha! I didn't notice that. Amidst such danger and action, she pauses to blankly stare at you. That's creepy.
