Saturday the 23rd of december is the date!
9PM GMT-5 (NewYork) time is the time!
In order to make this work we will plan a LGTF ahead of this event and the invasion it spawns will be our target. we will try to finish the LGTF at a specified time. we will be doing this the week starting 12/18 because LGTF is the weekly strike target!
On the day this will happen This will be scheduled as 2 events
#lgtf
and
#gm
We will add 5 events to the !e next list in EventHerald
1: some prior good day we'll hold some atlas park safeguard missions to get people the flight power
2: on yet another prior day we'll hold some VILLAIN side Atlas Park Mayhem missions, just in case that's where you want to get your flight power(though the drop ships will be blueside)
3: during the first week of the winter event we'll schedule events to get candycanes to get the golden rings temp power (likely tons of winter lord runs)
4: the pre-invasion LGTFs AS MANY AS WE CAN GET GOING SIMULTANEOUSLY
5: the post LGTF Dropship assault
it is my opinion we should have at least 2 teams do the LGTFs simultaneously and watch the clock to complete at the same time, so we have 2 invasions drop to maximize the chances of getting a an invasion in a good long zone.
What you'll need; either, hover, fly or a jetpack that can be used in combat, ///WARNING///Hoverboards and magic carpets will not work!///.
We will need a league of at least 2 full teams.
We will need SLOWS, HOLDS, and IMMOBILIZE, it has a slow resist that stops it from going to a full stop, the slowest we can drop it to is roughly 14mph
We will need damage.
ALL levels welcome.
We're looking for Invasions in LONG zones, such as Peregrine Island, Steel Canyon, Skyway City, Talos Island, Crey's Folley, Independence Port.
We need to Assemble and Wait at the War Wall where the ships will be coming in! NO FIGHTING RIKTI ON THE GROUND AND NO BOMBS everyone focuses on 1 Ship as a league!.
Bring INSPS for yourself. Suggested; Reds Yellows and Blues. for squishies Purples, Oranges and Greens.
Temp Powers Welcomed.
///WARNING
Remember, Ground based powers such as summon:fields will not work as theres no where to cast them in the air. Summons will not be able to reach them, so unless you have groupfly your pets wont be able to help (so provide whatever attacks you've got). Some Self TP powers don't work while flying, such as Electric Melee: Lightning Rod.
Watch your Endurance!
from what I remember anti-fly doesn't work on them so we cannot ground them. or maybe we just need a ton of antifly like mag 10000
Squishies keep distance and use ranged, Solids (Joke) use taunt or provoke to hold the ships fire only as you are able!.
///
When one ship goes down we hit another!
What do you/we need to do ahead of time:
Before the LGTF you will need to obtain a combat type flight power, there are several ways to do this:
1: you can buy one if you are L20 in Siren's Call, or L40and go to the shadow shard
2: you can get one as a reward for completing the Atlas Park Safeguard mission, or if you were a villain or rouge recently you could do the Atlas Park mayhem mission.
3: you can get the Holiday Jetpack during the winter event.
4: you can make a second build with Hover or Fly
5: you can follow someone who has Group Fly (by getting Aerobatics and Fly) MMs and pets users will NEED to have a build like this for dropships. please make this build ahead of time it can be with normal enhancement or IOs you don't have to kill yourself on sets.
6: you can be a peacebringer or warshade
7: there is a Jet Pack Temp Power that can be crafted you can get the recipe from other players, from drops or buy it on AH if available.
8: if you are a villain or rogue there are several missions you can do through flashbacks to get a jetpack.
8.1: Lt Chalmer's in Sharkhead Isle will give you a mission "Help the Skyraiders fight off longbow", there is nothing in the wiki saying this mission cannot be Ouroed.
8.2: Marshal Brass offers the mission "Steal a Goldbrickers Rocket pack" which grants you a rocket pack. this is not available via Ouro!.
every attending player should have a hold, even if it's just the dayjob power
you can get HOLD type powers by:
1: you can get the Ranged TAoE Hold: Tear Gas dayjob power by logging off in a police station and a vault till you get the dayjob badges, then log off again to earn charges.
2: during the winter holiday event you can get the Golden Rings Temp Power from the candy keeper, Ranged Foe Hold.
3: you can get a hold if you are a controller or dominator, some other ATs may have holds as well, like blaster.
sadly there are no craftable Hold type powers
sadly there are no hold type powers in power pools
sadly the hold type powers in other temp powers are limited use and no refill.
update: this event is in planning tentatively for december, because we'll do better with the golden rings temp power. no date has been set because I'll likely need to lead or take part in an LGTF which is min level 45, I still have 3 contacts in the L40 to L44 range. getting there slowly.
It WILL NOT be in the first week of christmas content! this is to avoid interfering with people getting the winter event out of their system. we'll aim for the second or third weekend of the winter event but NOT christmas week, just in case!
