I think limiting it to a once a month thing is a good idea. For the simple fact that being as its a saturday and there are many things usually going on but also from the perspective of someone who runs alot of events. Since there is already a weekly blue side one then to make a red one weekly makes it hard for someone like me to schedule other events. Since that pretty well kills a weekend for the normal time many schedule things for.

Hrm. I was thinking of maybe moving my Strike Force idea to the second and fourth Saturdays of the month with the redside Hamidon raid going monthly, but you make a good point in that just kills Saturdays for everybody else. Eh, I may as well just keep Strike Force Sundays the way it is.

After almost two years of playing my main toon off and on, she just received the one million points of damage badge.

... What's the quickest way to get nine million more points of damage? :P

Hamidon raids aren't for me on either side, but I'd be willing to help with villain nights or what have you. That's why I started Strike Force Sundays, to give redside a kick in the rear.

Then I must be a lousy player, 'cause I can't stand my Gravity / Electricity Assault Dominator. It's so weak compared to every other toon I've had. I somehow managed to get him to level 50, but I've hardly touched him since.

Every other toon I have, I changed my difficulty to level 4 at level 32, and never had a problem. He was still at difficulty 2 at level 50, and still had problems. :\

Thanks to everyone I ran the Eden Trial with last night. It was fun, even with the two near team wipes. :P First time I successfully ran that trial in the four years off and on I've been playing. And my Force Field / Dark Blast Defender dinged level 42 last night.

Just a reminder that the first Strike Force Sunday is this coming Sunday.

It's true in the later levels, but they're very useful in the early levels. I always take the second personal attack at level 2. Otherwise you spend a long time waiting for your one henchman to finish up. :P

Yes, I should have made that more clear in the original post, sorry. Yes, the meeting point for all strike forces will be at the site of the contact, except for the Silver Mantis SF. The Silver Mantis SF requires the use of a base mission computer, so we'll meet at the Cap au Diable base portal so we can access my villain group base.

Ahh... that would explain it. This is my first hero after a few years of strictly playing villains. I went right from my Galaxy City contact to radio missions in Kings Row 'cause I remember how much of a pain in the rear the Hollows is, and all the level 5 - 9 contacts would send me there. :P

Is the contact system borked?

On my level 50 Gravity / Electricity Dominator that I made back in Issue 11, he has every single broker listed as an active contact.

When I recently made my Force Field / Dark Blast Defender, I started him off in Galaxy City. I made sure to do all of her missions, and then went to do some radio missions in Kings Row. His original Galaxy City contact is still listed as an active contact.

Then when he was level 34, I finally did the Montague Castanella arc. When I first entered the Midnighter Club, I was given Mercedes Sheldon as a contact. Paragon Wiki lists her as a level 20-24 contact, and she would not give me any missions. She's now sitting in my inactive contact list.

What gives? Is the contact system buggy?

What powerset combination would you consider to be the "most powerful" for a PvE Stalker?

I actually turned off experience gain one evening, because I thought I was leveling too quickly. :P It's a shame that seems to be the only way to get teams these days outside of TFs and GMs.

Everyone's in Atlas Park doing MA farm missions. Sad, but that does seem to be the far easiest way to get teams.

Yep. I use Placate much more often while soloing than I do while teaming.

Okay, so the first Strike Force will be next Sunday, June 14, at 7:30 P.M. ET / 4:30 P.M. PT.

Well, weekdays are usually bad for strike / task forces. Fridays are out for me. That leaves Saturday or Sunday. We already have redside Hamidon raids on Saturday evenings. I don't do Hamidon raids, but I know and acknowledge that many people do. So that leaves Sunday evenings.

So redside should trump blueside? And your convenience is more important than the rest of the population of this server? Sometimes people amaze me with their sense of self-entitlement.

Uh, no. It was just the only day & time I could regularly run strike forces without alienating the redside Hamidon raiders. I already said that if someone could run this on Fridays or whenever instead, I'd be more than happy to turn the ball over to him / her.

I'd be more than happy to turn this idea over to someone else that could run it on Fridays, or something.

Redside Champion needs a kick in the rear. The Saturday evening Hamidon raids are a good start. Let's add another step.

Introducing: Strike Force Sundays!

Every other Sunday evening, we'll run Strike Forces in sequential order. Should more than eight people show up that evening, then a second team would be formed.

Yes, the Lord Recluse SF was intentionally left off this list. :P

And i know my actions will be judged, just remember how selfish i am teaming with almost everyone, helping them get to 50 doing missions and spending 100-200 million infl. per month hosting public events, something no other heroine does.

Wow. Be very careful on that high horse. I wouldn't want the only good Samaritan on Champion to get hurt.

Hrm. I've always used common level 50 IO enhancements thus far. I take it that's no good for SD nor SR?

If simply having fun makes you a good player then what is the point of all this?

[/ QUOTE ]

Drama.

I have a SS/WP lvl 45 with only Steadfast 3% def as set IO(Rest is crafted standard IO) and I'm not satisfied at all by its survivability.

I'd go /SR instead of /SD because it is easier to soft cap but endurance will be a huge issue for either.

Of course, it depends what difficulty level you're looking to play at.

[/ QUOTE ]

I almost always play at difficulty level 4.

I want to make a new Super Strength Brute, but I can't decide between Shield or Willpower for the secondary. Any advice?

Nah, we've been lacking in drama lately.
