We're gearing up for release in Bat Country, and with the limit of 75 players in a supergroup, we need to set up a few ground rules.

The first 22 people (first 3 are Haemish, Joe, and Schild) to express interest will receive two character "slots" within the group. The remaining 25 will only receive one. As the number of players within supergroups is increased, we'll first allow the remaining 25 a second slot, and then work back down from the top of the list, allowing the initial 22 a third.

From there, things will develop. We're gonna keep things pretty loosely organized, and we'll probably make captains of people who show enough interest to play a good amount, or posess some leadership qualities.

Below would you please answer the following questions in this format (if you only want to play 1 toon, then only list 1 toon. If you can't commit to more than one, just say so).:

Hero name(s): ??? & Motion Sickness
Hero archetype(s): M. Arts/Reflex Scrapper & Rad/Rad Defender
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? Yes/No

EDIT: Catass2Justice weekend is the weekend preorder people are allowed in before it goes live. We want to get out of the newbie areas (Atlas Park, Kings Row, Galaxy City, and The Sewer System) before the public is unleashed upon us. It is important. Don't pretend it isn't. Map Connection Lost sucks.

It's not a weekend. I am a calendar retarded apparently.

Hero name(s): The Stygian & ???
Hero archetype(s): Emp/Dark Defender & ???/???
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? Yes

Hero name(s): Edged (no D if I can get it) & Strike Anywhere
Hero archetype(s): Katana/Regen Scrapper & Empathy/Psychic Defender
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? Most likely.

Hero name(s): Mephista & MiddKnight

Hero archetype(s): Meph is a Tech Blaster w/ Fire Blast & Electricity Manipulation  and Midd's a Magic Scrapper w/ Spines & Regeneration.

Hero names(s): The Apothecary and Elven Claw

Hero archetype(s): Illusion/Storm Controller & Empathy/Psychic Defender
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? Yes

Hero Name : Richard Kane
Hero Archetype : ??/Defender

I'm afraid of committment but EB appears to have shipped the bonus CD so I'll be around for that party weekend. I have no idea what to make an alt though or if I'll even have one in the group.

Righ is playing some sort of blaster and will be there also, though he is pretty busy at work this week so he probably won't have time to peruse any boards.  He may have the entire release week off, though.

Hero name(s): ??? & Sir Bruce
Hero archetype(s): ???/??? ???? & Fire/Fire Blaster
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? Probably, though my hours of play will be after Midnight eastern

Name:? either Xilren's Twin or something more heroic like Foehammer
Type: Defender Storm/Electric or Blaster Fire/Fire
Catass weekend: considering this 3 day preview starts on a Sunday (bleh commitments galore), I will be much more available the monday and tues of that period

Xilren

I'm planning on picking up a preorder box from the local EB tommorrow if they still have them, but I won't have much time to play before the preorder weekend..  Assuming that I'm invited I'm interested in joining:

Hero Name:  ??? (most likely Cevik, because I'm original like that)
Archetype:  fire?/fire? blaster (I'm thinking of trying to build a blaster of some kind)
Can I commit:  I have commitment issues.  I'll be around in preorder weekend but unfortunately I'm unable to commit to catassing at all ever.  I have to make time for the baby and the wife and work and all of that you know..

EDIT:  Think I've decided to go fire/fire blaster, not 100% decided yet, however.

Hero name(s): Whipcrack & Cirrocco (my misspellings are semi-intentional)
Hero archetype(s): Natural/Scrapper & Tech/Controller
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? I am unable to commit due to religious objections :) But I'll probably be on those 3 days, just in my normal 2-4 hour time spurts.

Hero names(s): Fist of Thoth & Toxically Delicious
Hero archetype(s): Dark/Dark Scrapper & Rad/Rad Defender
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? You betcha!

I am in- haven't played yet, so I don't know the character yet (I want to try some kind of controller/mezzer for sure). If there is room, I am hoping my old roomie can join us as well (he is an HD alum).

I THINK I will be moved in and ready to go by this time next week, so I will have a day or two of beta to dick around before the Catassing starts. I don't know how long I will be able to play during that weekend, but I will definitely be on.

Hero name(s): Not Decided & Not Decided
Hero archetype(s): ???/Scrapper & ???/Blaster

Alkiera

Character Name : ??? (Possibly The Shavinator or something close)
Powers / Shit : No idea...probably play it by ear
Catass2Justice : Some of it, but there is the everpresent class eating up time. (Plus I'm not sure if I can find a preorder box this late >_< )

I'll be buying the game, but finding a pre-order box isn't happening; but if you've got space in the catass league of superheroes I'd like to join.

Name: Bozo the Destroyer
Either a tanker or a scrapper, whichever seems to be more fun.

Hero name:  Hysterical
Hero archetype:  Illusion, Empathy Controller
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend?:  Depends on my work schedule but I'll be able to make at least lv. 10.

Hero name(s):  Offsuit
Hero archetype(s):  Tank (Invulnerability and Energy Melee most likely)
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend?  Yes.  Though I turn 30 on the 25th, so there will be drinking involved.

Hero name(s): ??? & ??? (G/f char)
Hero archetype(s): ??? & ???
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? Yes

Hero name(s): Darniaq
Hero archetype(s): Energy/Energy Blaster
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? Yes. Sunday, 8pm Eastern is when I start.

Hero name(s): Lanei
Hero archetype(s): Katana/Reflex scrapper
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? Yes.

Hero name(s):Dark Dryad & Lunar Wind
Hero archetype(s): Scrapper/ Dark & Empathy / Dark def
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? yup

Hero name(s): Leaddore, Gamolin
Hero archetype(s): Magic Blaster Fire/Fire, Unsure about the second char
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? More then likely

(Barring the possibility of massive hemorraging resulting from "OMG, It's Geldonyetich" syndrome...)

Hero name(s): The Nanites
Hero archetype(s): I'm still torn.  Either a Scrapper (Claws or Quills/Regeneration), Controller (Illusion or Mind/Kinetics), or a Defender (Kinetics/Energy Blast).
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? Yes.  Damn my lifeless hide.  Yes.

I will be playing for sure.  And I would like to have one character in this SUPERgroup (I can't help but mentally pronounce that like Big Gay Al).  


True conversation between my wife and I:



P.S:  My wife kicks ass.

There is my totally unrelated supergroup story.

Um... And to stay on topic, I don't know what name or character I will be putting in the guild.  I will be filling up all 8 slots for sure though.  Depends on who shakes out.  I just want to reserve a slot and I will poke someone in charge when I figure things out.

Wish I knew who and how many are coming over to play CoH from my EQ/SWG guilds.  I have a bunch of 'probablys' or 'sometime after launch for sure'.

I will have to try to get them all on the victory server now I can keep secret tabs on them.

I would like to have at least one character in bat country. The name of that character is kinda in flux right now it depends what server we go to and what I can lock down for a name. The character I have in bat country will be a controller but I am really tossing around what combo I want will either be fire/ice or earth/storm controller.

I will post the name I finally get and the archtetype and powers once I get it in and locked down.


Kaid

HeroName: Depends on server. Victory & Justice - The Muffin Man. All others - El Muffin Man
Hero Archtype: Tanker, Fire/Fire
C2J: Ack have to work Sunday and Monday and it's getting near crunchtime in class so I'm not sure.

Hero Name: The Protectorate
Powers: FF/Energy Blast Defender.

I will probably try for a secondary "Electro-Volt" blaster type if I can manage it.

My guild character will be Hawkwind. Since I wasn't enough of a board camper, my alts don't want to be in your motherfucking group anyway.

EDITED:

Name: Matador
Powers: Dark Scrapper

I'm going to be tracking this thread (http://forums.f13.net/viewtopic.php?t=339) in an Excel file (easy sorting). Clicky this linky if you want a snapshot of our roster:

Bat Country Roster (http://www.darniaq.com/CoH/BatCountry/BatCountry-Roster.htm)

After my whopping hour and a half beta session, I'm betting money that Bozo won't be available as a name.  Sadly, my less than original backup plan (Supervolt) was taken too.  So the new and improved information for my guy is:

Mr. Subtle
Tanker
Invuln/Super Strength

Appearance: Dressed like a color-blind pimp.

The name block is only long enough for 15 characters, so I can't be Alkiera Kerithor unless I shorten it in some lame way.  Instead, I've resevered 'Alkiera', and put my last name in my profile.

Alkiera

I reserved "Electron Volt" (the amount of energy in one electron passed through an electric field of one volt, usually designated eV) on what was the name reserve server and Electron Blue on freedom (ne prime).

Not sure if I will actually be able to participate in catass2justice but I have a 10 days off the week after and am sure I will show you all the true definition of the word catass.

edit:
Also If I can manage it again (got lucky in beta) I'll have a scrapper alt named Buckaroo Bonzai or Jack Burton.

I reserved 'Beguiler', so I will likely have a character with that appelation come Sunday. Not sure if he will be my main yet, but it works well enough in a group to be useful to the SuperGroup.

Reserved Seismic Shift cause Jurist was already taken on name res/Victory.

Hoping to get something else for my scrapper, but it looks like I'm catassing my controller to victory to start out.

Hero Name: The Blue Bomb
Hero Archetype: Ice Ice Blaster
Catass commitment: Yes, yes, and hell yes.

Not sure what my name will be, as I'm still torn between making a WildWest gunfighter (assault rifle/gadgets), insane Knight (don't like melee much in this game though), or campy super hero in tights(blaster or defender).

Just can't decide whether to poor on the cheese and go for tights and a campy name or be the lone gunman in a land of spandex (it's hard to justify super speed on a gunslinger(yah I try not to break fiction)).

Errr.. long story short, save me a spot. I like the game (and shit, it's an actual game).

Cool. Updated (http://www.darniaq.com/CoH/BatCountry/BatCountry-Roster.htm)

Is there still a limit on number of heroes in a supergroup? Knowledge database on the CoH site claims there isn't.

If there isn't anymore than anyone gets all the alts they want. And the limit is gone. As of the last day of beta the limit WAS 75. They were talking about dropping it and it seems they may have.

Storm/elec defender - Red Mist.

Energy/gadgets blaster - Redcoat.

Statesman had this to say about the 75 character limit yesterday:



So it looks like the limit will still be in place but for an as yet unknown reason.  Maybe it has something to do with HQ's.

Hope I'm not too late to sign in. (I mostly lurk the LTM diaspora, but some of you will remember me from SWG or SB.)

Hero Name: Qua Fin Ti
Archetype: Katana/Regen Scrapper
Weekend: yes

I may have Chrysoprase reserved on Victory (work was hell last week and the flip/flop/flip on name reservation got by me.) If so, he'll be some kind of tanker.

Shot in the dark: Possibly has to do with their instancing implimentation and City of Villians. Say your supergroup is defending an instanced warehouse (75 people) from another supergroup who is attacking the warehouse (75 people). That gives you a max of 150 people in the instanced zone.

Same thing applies to HQ's. You could have 75 supergroup members and 75 guests in the HQ for 150 total.

I'll wager the Atlas Park 2 zone shows up when the Atlas Park 1 zone gets near 130-140 players.

I made a new post asking for a guild invite, reading the sticky threads woulda been a good idea ;)

I'm a good friend of Apothecary, he told me to come here and sign up to see if I can get a spot in the supergroup!

My char is a martial / regeneration named Deathstriker, and I plan to play an electricity blaster named Thayvius.

I understand there's some form of cap on the supergroup size so it's all good if only one can get invited :)

Whitesmith
Technology Tanker
Fire
Energy

I can Commit to Catassing my weekends for justice.

I am a friend of Soukyan also interested in joining Bat Country if you have roster room.  I was instructed to post here.  I use to frequent Waterthread somewhat and played with some of you folks as Vespasian in SWG.  

Hero Name: Owen Masterson
Archetype: Mutation Defender-Primary/Secondary=Radiation
Catass Commit: No

The Cosmic Anomaly
Energy/Energy Blaster

All slots filled, so who knows who will end up as my alt? Not me! Hey, remember that 70s pr0n, All Slots Filled....

That and and possibly something to do with instancing and multi-grouping in the trial zones. Either way, Cryptic has their shit together. They know their limitations and they plan accordingly.

EL DURAZNO
Natural
Defender
1) Empathy
2) Energy Blast

Hoping I can latch on to a spot with Bat Country.  Errr... Long time lurker, semi-frequent poster.

PS - that catass business was just for pre-launch right?

Voodoo Knight

Technology/Scrapper

I played around on Freedom for a while yesterday, and got a blaster up to 7th, but this is a 2nd level newbie.  I'll give one of you guys a holler tonight to see if I can get grouped.

Burning Cold
Fire/Ice Tanker

Hoping to get a spot with BC. Lurk a lot, post infrequently.

Sine I seem to be playing her more...
Name: Clotho
Type: Magic/Scrapper
Server: Victory
http://www.polarsoft.com/games/delos/COH/clotho.jpg

Name: Feuerelementar
Type: Science/Blaster (fire)
Server: Victory
http://www.polarsoft.com/games/delos/COH/Feuerelementar.jpg

Next interesting question: when do people generally play? I seem to be good for most weeknights from 9 - 11PM MST. Weekends... who knows?

Captain Obvious
Science  Defender (Heal/Psychic)


Another mostly lurker hoping for acceptance. And a Pony.

Roster's been updated (http://www.darniaq.com/CoH/BatCountry/BatCountry-Roster.htm). Hit refresh if it's wrong. Also, the page title now includes the date of the last update, and gray bars to signify who's a member and who's got an application pending.

Darniaq snubbed me, I'm so hurt. I'm going to go cry in my beer and get hammered on tears.

:P

Murgos took Buckaroo Bonzai! Die in a character name fire byiotch!

Kitami
Claw/Regen Scrapper

or possibly

Candy Stripe
Empathy/Electricity Defender

-la_Rapiere

8-Track (energy/energy blaster)

that's about it... I have some others, but they're not much worth mentioning.

I also have "Turtle" a gravity/force field controller which I hope someday I will have the patience to level up to become "The Great and Powerful Turtle", He's actually pretty fun to level, as opposed to all the other controllers I've tried and hated.

Did I ever tell you I was a huge fan of Aces-High?

Also, I have an energy tanker named Sho-Nuff, with the glowy red hands and sparks when he hits things looks just like he should from the last dragon.

I also wanted Jack "It's all in the reflexes" Burton but someone beat me to it.

Hero Name - Sharinel
Hero Type - Dark Magic/Regen Scrapper

Hey folks. I made a "Calenth" on victory because that's where the SA people were playing, and Angry Bob let me know about y'all in game too, which is good. Hopefully more than one or two of you remember me, thought it's been a while. He's a magic origin mind controller, and will probably end up SA guilded (if I don't end up on a diff. server completely) but would like to play with such of you as remember me. So just letting y'all know I'm around, even if the char doesn't fit your  guild standards. (Hey, there's a long tradition of nazi magicians!)

Forgive my poor, school addled brain, but who are the 'SA people' and what is the name of their guild?

I'm going to assume SA means Something Awful.

I hope it does.  It could mean something scary... like South African.

Where is Angry.Bob, anyway?  Is he actually playing as SirBruce?

EDIT: Because I'm a moron who posted to the wrong thread.

I've decided to cancel my sub before the next bank debit.  I've become bored and haven't logged in for any real amount of time for a week or so.  Maybe I just have a lot on my mind with the moving coming up and all.  I still like the game and will probably return... maybe even before the launch of CoV.  I'll hack and slash at some flax now and then, I suppose, until something interesting catches my eye.  I might have a crush on Nebu.... it's still too soon to determine.  Don't tell Righ.

I thought I might play a bit of AC until I looked again and remembered how ugly it was.  I may start up my sub with SWG again... because I want to see what's different.  Convince me I'm insane.  Darniaq?

I was very pretty in SWG, you know.

Don't resub to SWG. I almost did as well. It's just not worth the trauma.

My house is still standing in SWG (checked with a trial account).  I don't remember leaving THAT much money on it.

I thought about resubbing because two of my old EQ buddies starting playing (my old roommate and his brother) but they already hate it.  

Save yourself the trauma and just pick grass and turn it into straw.  MY CAMELS NEED TO EAT.

Oh dear.  I hope I'm not supposed to take care of your pets while you are moving.  They could die.  Can they be slaughtered once they're dead?  With you and Lord Nebu away, and schild busy finding himself... I'm a bit worried.  Hopefully, Delim will still be about as Righ has gotten himself into SWG again, for a bit.  Til July 12th, anyay.  

Oh, the stress... the stress!!
