    Looks like a fun group, I can't wait to see Chartreuse's d;D smilies inside Arena matches.

    Also, sweet stuff Proj, doyler, Bleak and 4shes were picked up...there should be some good times had by this roster.
  2. I'd like my namesake to be a TF/ mission helper, casting bubbles and Mind Control to help out.
  3. Phase Shift on pretty much all my alts, either the temp power or pool power.

    Yeah, the time difference sucks. I know when Integrity was still together on test I think Proj lives in California so it was rough for him being online at 6 p.m. and so on...but it's something you manage.

    Maybe in your case, you want to make a note in your sign-up that you can only play certain times...in the past teams have been accomodating to people with odd schedules, no promises or guarantees it will be the case this time though.

    Who is this?

    If you really want a Mu challenge do Scirocco's patron arc, your last fight against him is with a swarm of Mu bosses, messy stuff!

    That mission looks like one of the Rikti War Zone ones...I'd say probably Gaussian? He sends you to Portal Corp to close a bunch of portals to hinder the Rikti.

    Swan Song?

    Enjoy life while your cape is folded. Keep in touch with us with various guild websites, etc.

    So were the special helmets but I just got them with my last vet reward.
    The old Malleus, Shifter, etc badges were exclusive and got re-awarded.

    I suppose it depends how exclusive they want some items to be. I don't have the VIP badge and likely never will, no big deal on my end.

    Hopefully the missions have something to with "The Coming Storm" or perhaps even some hints toward Praetoria...
  10. Send a tell to @Cobalt Azurean, @Myrmydon or @miz nibbles for an invite to the BMT of CHampion channel, LOTS of teaming and TFs/SFs/etc there.

    Also, head over to the Champion server area on these forums and investigate some of the more populous SGs. Some popular ones are League of Extraoridinary Superheros (@Criticalkat), Renaissance de la Veritas (@Amygdala, @Major Tom) and there are likely some great redside ones too.

    If Champion still isn't busy enough, try out Virtue, Freedom, Infinity...but again people will be in missions/tfs so you may not see many people outside.
    I know I teamed with a level 26 Blaster the other day that was "lft" in Broadcast, we had loads of fun doing a level 50 Safeguard.

    Try picking up other people that are also lft...
  11. It can be done via AE, Techbot. Through regular content routes perhaps not...3-4 hours maybe. A little less if you "sewer" it heroside and really put your nose to the grindstone.
  12. I just PMd Perfect Pain, she has to know!

    Interesting stuff going on there, I imagine the level 20 Epic stuff might have to do with Aion's "class splitting" at level 20...or just player retention.
  13. I'd also like a clarification on Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning.

    Are users locked out from these if they do not purchase Going Rogue, will they be available to everyone on Going Rogue launch, do you need to purchase the powersets...

  14. Epics at 20? Buhhhh...the Kheldians can get pretty crazy with the slotting and forms, same with the VEATs...odd decision, but appreciated! I imagine that they looked at the levelling curve and saw a lot of people got to 20-35 but not as many got to 50...

    There is a league draft thread in this section, sign up and ask him to sign up as well. I've seen his MA/Regen on test in times of yore so I know he can handle that as well.

    Going with that...closed Beta "soon", open Beta early March, launch April?
    Sounds optimistic if there are systems such as the mysterious "endgame", side switching and so on as well.

    Still news would be nice...the Training Room is indeed down for "internal testing" (which could be anything from a pig roast BBQ with booze fountain for Sexy Jay to pre-testing GR...) so we'll see.

    More news please?

    Go to Redside.

    The Merit disparity kills about any interest I have left, sadly.
    I am levelling a Ninja/Storm Mastermind to 50 on my second account so I can have VEATs, but I just wish there were a 30-34 SF or a really tedious SF or two so we could get a 60-80 Merit SF somewhere.

    That aside, I do love Mayhem missions, the writing and the scenery.

    Hours on Patrol?

    3500 hours on my namesake.
  19. Neuronia

    SnOMG!!!

    OMG send the snow over here to Ottawa, we barely have a foot on the ground here.

    SO JEALOUS.

  20. Sure it is.

    You usually see tons of people congregated in Atlas Park or at the Black Market in Cap au Diable. Lots of grouping through sewers and such.

    When you start up, check your chosen server's forum for their teaming and global channel for more teaming opportunities. For example, Champion has BMT of Champion, Pinnacle has Cozmic's Playground and PinnBadges and so on. These are fairly busy channels where people look for teams and so on. Since a lot of people are indoors (instances) doing missions, this alleviates the feeling you are "alone".
  21. 1)How do I side-switch?

    2)What's to do at high levels? Any tfs/pvp changes/hard content

    3)What's the storyline?

    4)Any new IO sets?

    5)Any new costumes?
  22. Controllers:

    Mind/Bubbles
    Fire/Rad
    Illusion/Rad
    Illusion/Emp
    Mind/Cold
    Illusion/Trick Arrow
    Grav/ Kin

    Defender:

    Emp/Psy
    Storm/Sonic
    Dark/Dark

    Corruptors:

    Rad/Therm
    Sonic/Cold
    Dark/Cold
    Smouldering Desire: Fire/Fire


    I mostly roll buffers/debuffers but I dabble in almost all ATs. I do get to a point though when I go "Geez, I wish this character was a force multiplier/buffer/debuffer" and reroll. Occasionally I do like to go smash/pure damage/etc.

    Can't seem to get into Tankers much, or Scrappers...or melee in general I guess.

    You don't physically earn rep in Arena but there is a behind the curtain engine that tabs you with rep when you defeat someone. Since this resets every 5 minutes, you have a pretty small chance of getting your IO.

    For the record, I got a Gladiator's Armor (Resistance) on my Rad/Therm the other day in RV and it was the first PvPIO I'd got in over a month. I tend to PvP less these days because of rl concerns, but I do so for 3-4 hours in RV or an hour or two in Arena.

    The drop rate is crazy low.

    Welcome!

    1- How do I choose / change my Global friend chat name? I was given one that is the same as my first alt toon, which I wasnt warned about.
    Menu - Chat Handle

    2- Where can I go, closest to Atlas, Galaxy and Mercy Island - to buy a Raptor Pack? Also, any tips on making 10,000 inf as fast as possible to buy one?
    To get the 10,000 just do missions and sell whatever salvage you get on the Black Market/Wentworth's.

    You can get a jetpack by doing 3 missions from your broker (Mike the Ear or the other guy) in Port Oakes or detective in Kings Row. After you do those, you'll get a Mayhem/Safeguard mission, which grants you a temp power/buff on completion if you're in the right range. You can also buy them in Firebase Zulu (Peregrine Island) or in Grandville.

    3- Is there any way to go back to missions you out level or will I never be able to until I get to use the flashback thing i heard about?
    The Ouroboros system is available starting at level 25. Note you may unlock the portal much earlier than that (through arcs connected with time travel, for example Marshal Brass gives you Echo down the Aeons and I think Doc Delilah's arc in Faulltline gives this as well) but you can't use it until 25. When you enter Ouroboros, get the badge at the top of the spire for your portal, which serves as a handy shortcut to various zones too! There are small crystals in the alcove that list missions available to your level band.

    Quote:
    4- If I get hover at level 6, do I have to get the flight-punch thingie before I can get flight, or can I just get flight at level 8? If not, when do I have to wait.
    You don't need Air Superiority, though it does make a nifty filler for your attack chain if you're low on attacks. Travel powers unlock at 14, unless you're one of the nifty ones with a level 50...that unlocks Kheldians which can travel at level 1, and they have nice story arcs too.

    Quote:
    5- I have my first HERO on Freedom and my Vill on Virtue, anyone know of a good light/medium RP supergroup that is also into pve and all the other content
    Virtue is chock full of RP groups...under the server forums there is usually a list of the larger SG/VG with their requirements/protocols. Check there or just ask around teammates.

    Quick server transfer something to Freedom and join the dUmb team if we have room.
