    My AE mission

    Sorry about that GangstaBlade. I do that sometimes and welcome to the game.
  2. Is there a way to actually set the baddies at levels 1-10 when you create the group? Or is the only option to do it in the actual arc?
  3. Yaa for Mercury Dawn. Lets do another that I will intend to show up at.

    My AE mission

    Hi GanstaBlade, welcome to the wonders of AE.

    Down in the For Fun Section there is a MA section to post your arc for people to try out.
  5. Hi Smurphy. I know I promised you Demon posessed Robots but I still haven't sorted that out yet. It is starting to make sense so maybe the arc will see the light of day at some point.

    I do have 'The Punk Rock Cybernetic Kitten Rebellion on TeddyBear Mountain' though. Not quite sure if it matches all your criteria but I find it a challenge. And it is fun too.

    The Arc # is (let me just go check again, 1 sec) 378442.

    While it is only 2 missions it seems like a solid 2. There is a story and kind of a moral. Well maybe not a moral, maybe a bit of soapboxing.

    Anyways I hope you enjoy it. Or maybe someone else might try it. That would be fun.

    Oh yeah. There are typos, which I'm sorry about. Plan to clean them up when I get back from holidays. It's funny. The very first word is a spelling error. Oh well.

    I had a cAPTAIN cAPSLOCK character once, though I've since deleted him. His description was "CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL"

    Nice
  8. This is a good thread with lots of ideas for a new player. How could we get this stickied so it will be around for others to see?
  9. Pick the one that sounds neat to you. My first hero was a energy/energy blaster who unfortunately became known as Sparrow1 (She is Sleek Sparrow now {I think} [thanks to the Devs in the winter]) Sounded fun. Blast people with energy and then punch them with the same.

    Played her for a while till I saw someone running around with these little fire monkeys and knew I had to have those. The Fire Control Imps are so much fun I have them on 3 of my heros with two more sets on the way.

    Occasionally play a scrapper (have a Claws-Super Reflex at 50. She is not as awesome as most peoples but she is still pretty tough.

    Finally got my Tank to 50 too. Yaa for Blaze Bunny.

    I guess my point, if I actually have one, is to pick something that sounds fun to you and try it. If it doesn't work for you for whatever reason (I'm like that with electric/electric blasters. I've made and deleted 3 of 4...figured I should actually keep one instead of making a new one again) just try something else. Lots to pick from.

    Thanks for listening, Bashful Banshee.

    Oh yeah. My blaster Sparrow1 hit 46 he other day
  10. Ooh thats right SnowGlobe. Thank you for jogging my ever fleeting memory.
  11. I see that all the advice I was going to give is already there so I won't repeat it.

    Just so you know that is in no way a wall of text. It is nicely phrased with appropriate breaks that make reading it easy.

    EDIT: D'oh, everyone there before me.
    Yeah never did read any of those. Seems to me I enjoyed one of the books about some kind of a detective though. Don't recall much about it though. Hopefully someone can refresh my memory.

  14. I'm really enjoying my Mind/KIn right now, got her up to 31. Also have a Mind/Storm that I enjoy from time to time.
  15. Ok to get more power you need to buy the add ons for your initial power supply. For Tech they are Circuit breakers and the arcane is called Crystal Focus.

    You also need to make sure you are using a room that accepts these. If you are still using the initial combo Power/Control device I don't think they attach.

    Be careful about your Control lvls as you add more power. More Power means you need more Control. More Control means you need more Power.

    Silly silly viscious circle. Hope that all makes sense. If not, wait 3 minutes and someone else will come along that can explain it better.
  16. I had a similar problem a few weeks ago as did someone wlse more recently. For me the solution was as simple as quitting and restarting the game.
  17. Ooh can I sign up here?

    And do I need to decide which of my oh so well thought out heroes I am going to bring right now?

    For damage and control early, I'd say fire/. But the problem with that is you're pulling so much aggro you faceplant every 20 minutes. Dishing the damage with just immob is gonna hurt.

    That said, try out the Fire/Rad. And show up on Monday, Freedom, Talos dirt hill at 8pm Central and a group of them will be waiting to make teams and burn burn burn things. Ha ha ha ha ha.

    I also like ill/storm. Very, very fun. Not very controllery, but can lock them down with fear. Too bad you can't test drive these.
    Princess of Slush. Thats awesome. I can imagine thinking up the name and then getting to lvl 17 before realizing how bad it really was. I have Porcelain Princess. Made sense to me. A princess from another dimension that was trapped within a porcelain doll. Never realized there would be toilet jokes. Oh well. Still love her.
  19. You know I haven't had the problem your referring too at all. I am however in favour of them make it so when after you bid on something and switch to a different something the 'bid window' is cleared of the amount from your last bid.

    Wall of text? Hope not.
  20. It could be a matter of having your Rent paid up as well. If the Rent isn't paid you have no power and then can not access anything (I think.)

    Or if the Blue Hand is not showing up it could just be where your hero is positioned.

    Even at $40.00, Complete Collection's DVD's are cheaper for me than to download against my town's access limits. Plus, I can hang on to the key so if a friend is interested, they can play City of Heroes free for a month. Go Team Venture!

    Thats truly unfortunate and a silly fee Tahquitz.
  22. Hmmm Why is everyone saying its 42?

    Inquiring minds want to know.
  23. SO my actual guess at the number count will be 8, 569.
