Depends what else you want to achieve. I find my Sonic/En to be an excellent single target blaster and still efficient on a team. Plus solo, the controls will help you out a lot.

If the channel is open, then people will be able to join just by typing '/join ic missions'.

So it's really up to everyone to join and make something of it.

I would love a 'Skin Type' option too. And I have wanted a muscular texture for women for years. My blue skinned She-Hulk type just doesn't look right without it.

Although I doubt we'll ever see a new skelton in this game (due to the development time required) new skin tones and textures are definitely something I would like to see added.

Happy Yuletide wishes from this side of the pond!

Hope that all of you have a wonderful break and get all the things you want from the big guy in red.

See you in 2011 for more fun and games.

Dear Father Christmas,

I've done my best to be good this year. My heroes have saved lots of people and most of my villains have done some saving by being rogues. So I think you can call me mostly good. So I only have one thing to ask of you.

Our game has the best community I've ever seen in an MMO and since the forums came together, I have loved being able to discuss life, films and the game with our fellow players from around the world. But above all, what I really want is to be able to team with them at last. For the EU and NA servers to be brought into one list, no more segregation, no more jealousy, just one big, happy family of heroes and villains from around the globe. Dear Santa, please make our divided community one at last.

Yours sincerely,

Dante (aged 35 and two months)


P.S. You might consider listening to that Steelclaw guy as well. He's got smarts.

Lots of people are going to tell you to go Defender. That's ok, because it's a nice set on a Defender and the res debuff is higher.

However, if you decide to go Blaster, I can tell you from experience that my Sonic/En Blaster is the most reliable and sturdy Blaster I've ever played. You may find yourself overshadowed in terms of AoE damage but as a single target specialist, you'll be awesome.

Sonic is lovely as a debuff set but it's no slouch as a blast set either. In terms of secondaries, I'd either go Mental for more AoE or Energy to stack stuns.

Dark Miasma.

Because it's very versatile. And Fearsome Stare just makes me giggle every time I fire it.

I'm not sure whether it's my place to express my dislikes really. We've got a wide range of rp styles and I'm sure that my style has annoyed enough people in my time. If I don't enjoy someone else's style, I avoid interaction with them if I can. And sure, there's some bad rpers about but at least they're trying. I try to encourage them where I can because you never know, they could turn out to be amazing once they've learnt the ropes.

If one thing does annoy me, it's our lack of unity. We may not always agree on rp but it'd be nice if we could all agree to get along.

However, I'm with you on the tools. I sometimes wish the ignore command removed them from my view as well.

To be fair, I often play a joke track at the end of my parties, normally as a way to let people know that it's time to go home. Last time it was Richard Cheese's cover of 'Down With The Sickness'.

I played this at my Halloween party and people were at first "what the hell?" swiftly followed by "omg! This is brilliant!"

I loooooooooove my Earth/Fire Dom. It's like being a Blaster with Controls. Great control, great damage = loads of fun.

In Earth control, you can definitely skip Salt Crystals and probably the single target Immobilize. Other than that, all of the powers are awesome.
