    Not many, sadly.
    Lisa tilts her head in thought....actually.....I think if there were a list of AE missions that give ok XP and good tickets, people would play them.

    I know I would...heck...I would play for tickets alone.

    Is there such a list somewhere?

    Lisa.
  2. It is 8:25 Central and I cannot log in. I got the patch and applied it. I get to the server select screen, click on Victory and I get the hourglass as normal, then it throws me the "Cannot Connect To DB Server message."

    Am I the only one unable to connect?

    Make sure you think about it first (for once).

    Only way I can think of that happening is in the RWZ AE building. Hard to get there for the SoA..I think it is hard....only went there once with a level 5 (I think) brute to team my with hubby's defender and I don't quite remember how difficult it was....I do recall cussin' once

    I'm hoping to eventually compile a list of all these as well, but it's going to take quite awhile.
    My Blasters and youngling Doms love teleport foe...of course I solo so that might make a difference....ok, I'll be quiet

    Great list. Thanks for coming up with it and sharing

    lot of "junk" or "mule" picks, just to fill space, with the corresponding "I'd like to
    do something with this power, but can't afford to..." feelings to go with it.

    Basically more and more builds are going to feel like slotting tri-form khelds.
    I plan to use my extra powers to nab the medicine pool on my Scraps and Brutes who don't have a self heal, and some leadership powers for for the Scrappers/Brutes who do have a self-heal. My Blasters will be looking hard at Stealth.

    And ZOUNDS!!!!! This will make it tons easier to fit in my beloved Transport Foe!!!!!!

    Lisa-Wanders out of thread wondering how well Transport Foe would work with a solo and somewhat squishy Scrapper.

    Flying Heroes can take it too. It provides a place to put a Kismet Accuracy, and a LOTG Recharge if you have a pure resistance scrapper, and it can also take Winter's Gift Slow

    Lisa-Likes Combat Jumping.

    What? What?? What???

    Tamaki, you can't quit now. Even if all your toons are so uber they don't need inherent Fitness, and your 50s scoff at the Alpha Slot, think of Issue 20!!! Not just any NDA but a signed NDA!

    Gots to be good stuffs ahead

I toasted the first clickable enemy I came across, and zowie, I had a Tip! Warrior must have been twenty eight levels below me

    Lisa.
  9. WOW. I loved this.

    Words cannot express my feelings, so I am going to say Bravo and thanks for creating and sharing this.

    And you can get the Winter's Gift slow resistance IO boosting you to 40% slow resist when you also take Temp. Protection.

    Lisa.
  11. I fight them happily with my Spines/Elec scrapper mostly because their endurance sucking is like a tiny tickle to me

    Lisa.
  12. Right now my Fire/Fire Scrapper is standing in a completely cleared map, a map which has the last objective showing. When I poke that last objective it says "You can't complete this objective yet"

    There is nothing in this map but myself and it!!!

    I sent in a petition, but after an hour have heard nothing

    This is a Tip mission, called "You're a Cruel One, Mr Phipps."

    If you do it, beware. . .it is possibly bugged.

    Lisa-Really, really wanted to complete this.

    Oh but there is Blueside. Atlas Park, Vanguard Base. You have both the reg tailor and the plastic surgeon there.

    lisa-Goes there quite a bit.

    What do I need to do to fix this?

    I am running Windows 7 32 bit.
    I got that message too using Vista. I did the install a second time and that worked....took a long time fixing files though.

  15. [QUOTE=beyeajus;3128840]-you may notice that everyone seems to notice and attack you when you throw down the aoe immobilize, it hurts.
    QUOTE]

    OUCH, yes it hurts. However, on my Ice/Ice Blaster I have learned the Tao of Teleport Foe and I have a good time with it.

    I peek around a corner, target my chosen victim, duck back out of sight and teleport him to me. I feel like a spider reeling in my prey

    This helps break up the mob into a doable number. I find Blasting two bad guys is tons safer than three. My Blaster in the 20s so as I get more good powers I will probably be able to respec out of it..or not as I am having a "blast" with it.

    Now, an AOE Immob sounds like something I can work with. Put a lot of immob duration enhancements in the power..encase my victims in the AOE immob, teleport one out and around the corner to me, get him out of the picture, and mop up the rest as I am sure I can handle two irate bad guys.

    Hmmm, so I need a good single target hold to render my victim helpless when I transport him to me.

    I need to try this out.
    Lisa wanders out of this thread wondering if Plant/Fire has a single target hold.
  16. I am so glad I found this thread

    I too am wanting to play a Domi in Praetoria and have been struggling with which combo to go with...I am a scrapper person

    One of my friends has a Mind/Energy and played it solo nonstop for a long while..he said it was like playing a Blaster with holds.

    I have a Mind/Elec which plays like a Mind controller who does great damage. I absolutely love her, solo with her, and will try to do tip missions to get her heroside.

    Now, for Praetoria, I want something other than Mind, and have been stubbling around trying to figger out what.

    I had about settled on Electric Control/Ice, when I read Beyeajus's idea for a Plant/Fire.

    Grin..I guess I can do both

    I think you can you can farm Rikti and Carnies with a Spines/Elec

    I say this because although I am not a hard core farmer, I hardly ever die when I fight these two groups.

    Good luck

  19. Lisa stalks into the thread and shakes her head.

    This may not be a dating plug. He might just want to team with people who are his generation, and us female gamers who are 35+ are interesting critters

    There is another reason why he might feel more relaxed with a female gamer, but I won't go into that.

    Lisa walks out of the thread muttering about people leaping to conclusions and what happens when people assume

    I add my two cents to the Spines idea.

    I have a level 44 Spines/Elec. She is a monster. She eats Rikti and Carnies for lunch and can hold her own in Romanland.

    I have Tough and Body Mastery, never turn FA off, and still have wonderful endurance...err...unless I forget to turn off Ninja Run and fight with it on

    She is a ton of fun

    Ok, then...I have a Claws/Fire and a Fire/Fire scrapper

    I am set

    WN
    Which arc is that..and more importantly are the tickets good??? Don't care a flip about XP, I care about Tickets and a good story

    ??? I thought if you switched fully from Villain to Hero and stay on the Hero path, you would be a Hero with all the benefits Heroes get...it was staying Vigilante/Rogue that had little benefits????

    Hi Fire Lilly.

    I never knew you ingame, but hugs and good luck with your new doings.

    Mayhaps in a few months you will be back

    And, THE TonyV is Belle!!!!?????!!!!!

    I used to see Belle quite a bit. Had I knew that was TonyV, I would have asked for a virtual autograph or something

    wow.
