    oh god THIS. Couldn't they just *give* you the maguffin in thanks for your silence, rather than you having to prise it out of them?
  2. I could too. My wait in the queue wasn't that long before I got picked up, but that was, again, on Virtue. It'd be nice to see how many are in the queue so you can get an idea of how long it might be.
  3. That's just it. I like it because it's dull. Fire up the shields and I'm ready to go. Androktasia may not do well on a massive alpha strike, but as long as she survives it (and I do keep a green or two handy for that) she soldiers on very well.
  4. Anyone got shots of Excalibur? I am intrigued here.

    THIS. Totally. Once WP came on the scene it was everything I wanted in an armor set.

    I have tried to roll a brute over and over and failed because of THIS....!

    Gimme my BS/Will anyday.
  8. Currently got Wild Kingdom reserved on Virtue. Beast/Time is the current idea, though I may go Dark as I just cannot grok Time. I'm going to give it the old college try though.

    Concept: A cryptozoologist that reaches back in time and summons cryptids to serve her. Those just aren't any wolves - those are members of the Beasts of Gevaudan pack. Those aren't just any lions, those are the Man-eaters of Tsavo. And...is that the Black Shuck? WTH.
  9. Freed up Minutemaiden. Never could nail down a concept I wanted to play.

    Fly free, little name!
  10. From the minute I saw the powerset and then they added the hairbow in the Gunslinger set, I knew what I must do.

    For the first time, I made a little Japanese schoolgirl.

    Powerset: Giant Rocket Hammer/Boyfriend Issues (TW/WP)

    Name: Tsundere.

    My other fave is Runefrost (ice/cold) a young archeologist who discovered Odin's runes etched into a slab of unmelting ice in northern Sweden. Upon touching them, the power of the runes inhabited her body, and she's been on the run from a group of cultists devoted to Loki ever since.
  11. Wacky theory:

    Statesman may die, we may resurrect him, but at the end of the arc he's hanging up his cape and cowl..and passing it on to Hero 1.
    How this will work as Hero 1 is British and fricking carries Excalibur, I have no idea.

    Indeed. And SIGGED FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
  14. Of course R'as would not be so plebian as to show up at Batman's front door...

    And Joker's goons playing with Robin's old pair of short pants that they got out of the display case!
  15. I just readjust my gamma to a lighter setting and keep it moving...?

    I know I would probably still be there if there'd been PVP optional servers, with a tweak that allowed more soloing of content. And ye gods, fix those prices in the auction house!

    I miss my crazy little Gladiator.
  18. I know I bought 1200 and got my token about two weeks back.
  19. I personally loved it, and can't wait to see where it goes...and am worried it won't last long if they're looking for LOST numbers.

    I'm a big fan of the comic book Fables and the musical Into the Woods, so this is is right up my alley...and I admit I was cheering at the brief Moment of Badass when the Prince was getting his daughter to the wardrobe.

    ...The owner of the town is Rumplestiltskin? Crap, I was way off. That's probably going to be my favorite thing every week: figuring out who is from what story.

    WTS Bluebeard as a womanizing, thrice-married psychopath with a mansion off near the edge of town, in this.
  20. This. My dark/dark just hit 32, and while I admit I'm nowhere near the best at playing one, I'm constantly impressed by the sheer power of its swiss army knife mentality. There's almost always something I can use to accomplish every task, and walk out pretty much unscathed.

    *snicker* Now that song's in my head.

    Given they are incredibly brain-less zombies, it 's a case of Ignore big stompy death man, play whack a zombie until you have 99, then turn and wail on him.
    I do wish they'd spawn faster, though. I was on a team of four staying just ahead of the big bad, but those zombies were just not coming out fast enough for us to do the 99 then him. We kept being 1-2 minutes too late, even when we beat Abom down to near 30% while hunting zombies.
  22. *sees the Fusion Hammer*
    *runs off to save the name Hammerspace on Exalted. Finally, her Skuld homage can be made!*

    I always liked "you're the pet" themes.
    This is what I did with my Bots/Dark - iMaid is driven around like a car by dust bunnies that were under a bed long enough to attain sentience.
  24. I just started one of these instead of a more thematic grav/time.

    You're right. It's *really* a fun combo.
  25. Yep, definitely making a Solar. Book it, done.
    Now if only we can make the weapons aura-shiny.
