Our Charter
Hero Fireteams HQ is organized as a supergroup under the revised Paragon City charter, but we are different from most
supergroups. Our membership is diverse in powers, in security level, in patrolling patterns. What we share is a commitment
to the idea that small groups with good tactics can outperform large, less organized groups in most situations. Sure, once
in a while, a huge threat comes along, and one of the city's signature heroes must organize a Task Force. But for
day-to-day countering of evil, a fireteam of heroes is both more effective ((and more fun)) than a whole squad.
The defining vision of Hero Fireteams is that no matter how large our membership grows, we will prefer small teams (two to
four, or maybe five members), and we prefer some tactical sophistication in combat. We are interested in the unfolding
story of the salvation of Paragon City, and prefer well-defined missions to ad-hoc area patrols. The group exists
primarily as a clearinghouse for forming these small teams, a resource pool of other heroes who share the same beliefs and
whose suitability for small teams has been demonstrated.
Membership in Hero Fireteams is by invitation, and is generally extended to heroes who have engaged in at least a few
small team missions with existing members. Ideally, the prospective new member will have worked with more than one
distinct combination of other members, but this is not a requirement.
((If you play on Pinnacle and are looking for members for a small team, check to see if any of us are online. That's the whole reason the group exists!))
Kato Katana picks up "Elude" in Super Reflexes set
Kato Katana finally made it to 38 last night. At the end I was resorting to farming swarms in Crey's Folly, if you can believe it. :) Screenshot at right. Beyond making you supposedly almost impossible to hit with anything, it increases your speed, jumping ability and endurance recovery (the speed and jumping are very noticeable even with just the one socket). So far it has been impressive in use against some purple and red villains in Founder's Falls. It has a Nova-like crash at the end, meaning endurance goes to zero and you can't recover for a while -- but at least health is not impacted at the end like Unstoppable, nor while in use like Moment of Glory. So it's pretty cool in that respect. :) It also has strong resistance to Defense DeBuffs.
Rikti Magus boss (Rikti with nasty CoT powers)
Little Kat and Metal Mandroid did a Rikti mission about 43 last night with a very painful and interesting Rikti boss called "Rikti Magus." If I've faced him before I don't remember him. He's sort of a mutated Rikti boss with nasty CoT boss powers. What I wasn't expecting was that he hurls the nastiest sort of fire blast that does tremendous damage. I had enough greens on hand to survive it, but we had a whale of a fight with him. He was also zapping with lightning blasts, doing about 450 damage a pop to MM.
Is something wrong with our BBS?
I am getting DNS failures on http://1.mfphpbb.com/fireteams.html, which is the URL that my browser saved when I bookmarked our BBS both at home and at work.
I also tried leaving off the "1.", as that might have been a load-balancing thing or something, but apparently "mfphpbb.com" is no longer a listed domain.
Is anybody else having this problem? Does anybody have a solution?

"Fire" Team Forms on Guardian
Quite by chance, a new team heavy on fire users has gathered on the Guardian server over the last few nights. While I don't expect it to become anything official, it was interesting to see come together.
Out of the five characters, three of them are primary fire users:
Super Imp (fire/kinetic controller) Info Overload
Burger Man (fire/energy blaster) Blackjack
Fireocious(sp?) (fire/fire tanker) Nanoshock
Complimenting these three and completing the set of five different ATs:
City Cat (katana/? scrapper) James Kirk
Superheroic Man (empathy/energy defender) Captain Meson
As of last night they ranged in levels from 4 to 7. Was a nice change of pace and a chance to check out another server "community." :)
