    When you go to look at any of the images directly on yfrog, do they work for you? All I get is a blank area, like the picture's blocked or deleted.
  2. I've been kind of doing that. I level rapidly through teaming (a mix of dfbs, teams, task forces, the sometimes PL if a friend is doing that and I tag along) and then I go back and do the stuff I missed that I want my character to have 'experienced' or just storylines I enjoy.

    Right now I'm trying to 'black out' all the ouro arcs on my very first character. She's doing really well, but oh my god, ouroing harvey maylor's hunt fifty carnies TWICE when you can't just run a paper was one of my stupider plans.
  3. I decided since it was the last tweet code thursday I was gonna participate! Get me some kirby dots!

    Unfortunately I was busy, but I was in luck, they weren't done yet, they were only on batch seventeen! So I sat and waited for batch eighteen. They posted! Only they just included the link to yfrog.

    Okay, I said. Well, mistakes happen. Surely they'll correct it soon.

    A half hour later, they announce batch 19 is up and it's... a picture of a guy in costume, they didn't put codes there either. Or acknowledged the last one didn't work.

    This... this isn't how it's supposed to go, right?

    I'm talking about clothed, not visible skin!
  5. I keep hoping we'll end up with a new torso model for women, with a chest that actually looks like it's wearing tights and not body paint.

    Those five muggers that a superhero just ran past as if they didn't matter? To you, they're a real threat, but to him, they're mere echoes of a long-forgotten past. They don't see him, he doesn't care about them...although he could disperse them with a single punch, if he wanted. Exemplaring and sidekicking were just more examples of this temporal weirdness.

    It's an explanation that's served me well over the years.
    Wait, is Nowhere Woman a he or a she 'cause you switched halfway through.

You kill the spawns and then click on a Longbow Helicopter (or something) to get transported to the next section of the mission. Eventually you exit the mission in Eden. Basically keep the theme of traveling about the city fighting different groups but eliminate the running about and make it so that the enemies aren't all horribly under-level.

    So it's all one mission with lots of different map sections (sort of like the second mission in Admiral Sutter or Apex).
    Oh! And like the DiB! Yeah, I can see that working out pretty well and being cool.

    I can kind of get complaining about Numina - mostly due to all the different things we have now that can kick off zone events and screw over the line of hunts. I think we're at the point where that needs to just be instanced. But synapse - eh. I don't think it's all that bad.
    Am intrigued by the instanced idea and how that would be done.

    Also, I like Synapse. It keeps me busy and off the streets.

    Well, your comment after that really rude first one kind of piled together. It was tainted! Tainted.
  10. Oh, this is cool! Thanks for making this!

    Still, I think mechanical tails are about as long time coming as non-mechanical arms for Robotic Arms. Seriously, what do I have to do to get Foreshadows arms?
    I'd like mechanical monster heads! That'd be so cool.

    Although a mech-lion head would turn into the weirdest narnia homage in my mittens.

    I'd like other different types of arms too! Like, maybe huge arms? Or skeleton arms? Or feathered arms!

    Def want Asian style dragon heads. I've been making do with the lion head so far.

    Example:

    Seconding this! Also mechanical tailbfeathers!

    And real ones. Super duper please.

    isn't that the opposite of what it's supposed to do?
  19. I had Hidden Depths for ages and ages as an energy blaster pretending to be a water blaster, so I just rerolled her.

    I also discovered 'Seacow' wasn't taken, so now I have a big blue minotaur.

    I also have 'Flower Grrl' for a nature/water def.

    Thanks! I was trying to think of a Resistance-sounding name for someone with good psionic shields.

    I've been running at +0/X2 and it was kind of leisurely until I hit 12 and the mob placement generator decided that X2 MUST be X3. Still, I splurged on insps and I'm maybe an hour from knocking on Paragon City's door.

    Dehydrate saves my bacon...alot.
    Dehydrate is amaze-sauce. I love that power.
  21. You know those ribbons/bows some of the Carnies have around their chests that's a separate colour from their top? I'd like that as a chest item!

My personal observations over the full arcs, especially the Imperial City arcs (thought don't take me as an expert):
    Responsibility seem to fight more broken Clockwork. That should make getting something with energy resistance a priority.
    Power seem to go through a lot of Destroyers. Look at getting some knockback protection.
    Wardens seem to fight more Syndicate. Try to fit in some psionic defense to get around their bosses.
    Crusader seem to fight more PDD (no surprise). Getting some ranged defense, while great as a whole in Prae, is going to be a touch higher.
    Thank you (and everyone else!) very much for the advice! Here's what I ended up running with:

    Responsibility: Amped Up SJ/ELEC brute



    Power: Technophilia BS/WP brute



    Warden: Jukebox Jamwhammer DB/WP stalker



    Crusader: Stutter Sue SJ/Shield brute

  23. And were, say, planning to do it on four different characters to do all the storylines, what would you suggest as being best suited for Praetorian mob damage that aren't all the same?

    Actually, since I know the missions are different, if there's a particular mob slant per crusader/warden/power/uhhh the other one, specific suggestions towards that would be great and appreciated!

    Oh, and I'm not very good with controllers.

    I've been semi-through the arcs so far, but always end up doing someone else's missions or levelling by too fast, so I'm looking forward to just sitting down and trying, like I've been doing on my hero scrapper of doing every single hero storyline through ouro on her.

    I remember liking the Power arc where I got to show Reese exactly what I thought of him, plus my posse. Loved my posse.

    How many of you guys have done that? Just sat down and methodically went through every piece of story?
  24. You know, your post actually comes off as very selfish.
