Ok... "Isn't Flatulence just the best?" got a serious laugh from me...

No mention of Jerk Hackers dupin' rares for the Justice Server?!? Inconceivable!!
That said, Justice likes to flirt with being the 3rd most populated and is full of the most unique kind of crazy you'll ever find online. Lots of fun and new-player friendly

... how do you get out of the hosp? I found my way out the first time with no trouble, but from that point on it I got turned around or something and couldn't find it.
ooooor, if you're eagle-eyed...
Exit the rez area and go straight...there's a little hill on your left that reaches the caved in ceiling above. At the top of that hill, if you turn back facing the med area, you'll find a crack open to the top which puts you right at the ramp to the AVs

I still find it funny she bothered to be "against" Weird Al redoing one of her songs in the first place. She's such a silly little twit in the first place that the idea that she was "too good" to be subjected to Weird Al's treatment struck me as totally laughable. For her sake I hope she was never seriously against this and just pretended to be as a joke...

Just seen this thread and thought i'd add my main, Robot H3 NRi. Spines/Regen scrapper hero on Union. Dunno how many people have said to me, 'A Spines Robot? Can't imagine how that'd look...'
Kinda looks like this

Here ya go:

Just a reminder: Ænvasion is this Sunday. Any questions or arc suggestions post 'em here. Hope to see a good turnout from my home server!

...or at least it was new to me. Saw it last night during prime time, digging the lantern gatling gun!

Mildly humorous, trying too hard to be a 3 wolf moon.

Actually, I enjoyed this thread, Sam. It made me think, "I still play my level 50 main all the time...how DO I keep it interesting?"
I remember at one point I got burned out with him and started "Project:BackFire" wherein I created alt versions of my main on every server! That was quite entertaining for a long time, too and now I have at least a lvl 30 alt on any server ready to play at a moment's notice
Oh, and other things my 50 did, pre AE, incarnate system, and zone revamps:
Ran my own enhancement cashing store in Kings Row before it had vendors.
Yeah, I had a lot of spare time...
Exempted down with newbies in Kings Row (my fav zone).
Patrolled Kings Row, droning Paladins and dropping inf on solo lowbies doing street hunts.
Sent random lowbies on a quick street hunt of CoT or Lost in KR for a major inf reward. (essentially an AE mish before AE existed) -
Yeah, first time run: 2-2.5 hours. Maybe a little less if you find the secret opening thru the rubble from the hosp in the final mission
(oh, and that's taking the time to do all the optional stuff and read, too) -
Things to keep a 50 busy:
1) Tips & Alignment Merits
2) Play AE Arcs
3) Get every Ouro arc on the character starred
4) Hunt Giant Monsters
5) Create AE Arcs
6) Get every defeat/complete badge from Safeguards/Bank Heists
7) Run every TF or Trial at least once
8) Hunt AVs/Heroes in storyarcs
9) Join a PUG and make new friends
10) Switch sides and do the applicable above
If you can't find content to run, you're not trying. -

Just look at this guy. He is not giving out jobs right and left. He needs a footstomp! -
Other great places to find good arcs:
CoH Mission Review
MA Search.com
In this section of the forums I've found that arcs which actually have their own dedicated thread are more likely to be worth a run than ones in the Announce 'You' Arc sticky. -
I've always dreamed of a GameBoy Advanced version of CoH (I guess it'd be DS now). Something like a 3rd person RPG where you can import/export your character and unlock extra content by playing on the small screen

Until they make a sequel there's other ways to get your Dr. Horrible fix!

Sorry you missed it Dollhouse, hopefully you can join in on some of the other server Ænvasions
We may revisit Pinnacle in a future event aimed at AE Authors from each server, but that's still in the planning stages. -
Too many wide shots, it moved like molasses. Gimme shaky-cam over that dud any day.

wow. what is the complete opposite of exciting? that clip.
someone get a fight choreographer for this movie, stat!! -
Sweet! Anyone else looking to make an alt on Justice, I will be on my lvl 50+ main most evenings this week and will be more than happy to run you thru my Hero Tips or other mishes to get you some levels. Just shoot me a tell @backfire or check to see if I'm on in the global MA Arc Finder channel.

Strap on your cape and grab your reading glasses, there's an Ænvasion coming! The AE Storyteam from Triumph is Ænvading a different server every week and this Sunday, Justice is the target!
Join us this Sunday for an AE Story Arc run at the AE Building in Rikti War Zone. All ATs and Levels are welcome to join for story-focused (non-farm) missions and fun, starting at 9am Pacific/12noon Eastern.
Meet new players! Play fun missions! Discover (or rediscover) the magic of AE!
If you've ever wished AE was used for more than just farming, join us in RWZ this Sunday at 9am Pacific/12noon Eastern!
tl;dr version:
What: Story-driven AE teaming
About us: The AE Storyteam is a group of players, and authors, who meet every weekend to run AE story arcs and search out the best AE has to offer! We've developed our own unique brand of AE teaming where we share all the contact dialog with the team and take our time to read and experience as much of each story as we can. We're always looking for new members who have a passion for playing & creating AE arcs!
Who: Open to all players (any level or AT)
Where: AE Building in Rikti War Zone, Justice
When: Sunday 4/24, 12 noon Eastern, 9am Pacific
Why: For FUN! -
Big thanks to Pinnacle for kicking off our Ænvasion event! We had a full team, swapped a couple players in between arcs, and played through a few really fun mishes!

1 Mish, Heroic
Our Pinnacle Ambassador, Bubbawheat, led the charge thru a very story-rich arc in Signal:Noise. This moody, detailed, and very unique mission really showed off what an arc can accomplish with minimal combat!
It was especially fun playing the arcs with new players and showing off the fun you can have in AE aside from farming.
Next up was a great action-oriented arc in Damage Limitation, which tied directly into the canon story of Crey, and Hero Corp!
Bubba left us after the 2nd arc but suggested we try The Lady & Thief...it proved to be a bit too difficult for our mostly squishy & low level team, so we dropped that arc and loaded up lowbie-friendly Chris Jenkins! It was a fun comedy arc highlighting Paragon's favorite lawyer and some crafty Hellions!
Next Sunday (4/24/11): the Ænvasion! continues!! Join us on Justice Server at the AE Building in Rikti War Zone, 9am Pacific/12 noon Eastern. I'll be leading the team on my home server and all levels and ATs are welcome to join. So feel free to make an alt and see us there! -

Quote:Awesome! We know the feeling, as it's kind of the reason we started an AE Superteam to begin with. Looking forward to seeing ya thereOriginally Posted by Winterminal
Yes. This is why I got into AE in the first place. But then I realized I was sort of alone in that mentality, haha.
I'll show if I can! (By "can" I mean if I can get my partied-out brain to function at what will be 11am for me :P)
