Dear ph1L0t1x, I too see the innate corruption, subjugaton and injustice in "Emperor" Cole's regime. Changes must occur, and quickly.

Have we already forgotten that Tyrant once kidnapped our hero Statesman and tried to overtake an alternate earth with his cronies? What ill will could he be up to in Praetoria?

Consider myself allied to the resistance. My capacities to alter sentient being's mind patterns and ability to provide deflective abilities through 'forcefields' will prove invaluable in our fight.

Down with Cole!

If those suckers drop Luck Charms, well...I'll be defeating them, like Clockwork!

Yeah, thanks for writing the guide.

I guess it's just more playerstyle for the difficulties. Having spend close to 3 years just Emping, it was rough switching to Blasters/Corruptors and getting used to those.

Melee ATs in general are easier to play, especially if you're on an Ice Tanker or somesuch. So many hit points, decent damage and you can get Webnades in your Epic pools.

I hope you get more people to PvP. I find zone PvP quite unfun now with all the DR/Travel Suppression/Enjoyment Suppression but Arena is still enjoyable every now and then.

My characters will go wherever loot is most available and wherever the Markets are plentiful.

I'll toy with the side-switching and enjoy the storyline for sure, but it comes down to item availability for me.

I got on 8-person team Friday and Saturday in Grandville, with Shotty Mario and a few other notables. We ToTed for about 1.5 hours, took down banners and the GM as well.

Champ has always had a lower redside pop, but you can get this done with some planning.

I'll get you on our guild (Lethal Ladies) forums H0rn about this build.

Going to see if one of Kurgain's builds is floating around the interwebs as well.

Thanks to all that showed, over 200 mil was given both sides, hope everyone had fun.

Some great costumes all around, I'll do the Katie race some other day.

Well, to give you guys some hope...

I remember the days when villains couldn't access hero epics, for all sorts of silly reasons. Lo and behold an issue came and Stalkers and Doms got Hibernate and so on. It just took them a long time to warm to the idea.

So...a merge is possible, you guys just need to be as noisy as we were.

Realistically though, this is just bull-headedness on the part of the devs.
I'm fairly sure my vills will sneak into herotown, grind Merits ultra fast in Posi TF etc, go back redside and cash them in and sell the items.

RP reasons? Laughable.

If it's a Black Market some of those trinkets may already come from Paragon City.

I'm a heroine but I use SOUL TRAPPED GEMS. I use the essence of an evil, earth-corrupting entity called the Hamidon to boost my powers and its goo to craft enhancements.

Need I go on? My heroes routinely pound in the faces of thousands of villains cloned from hero DNA, routinely bust heads of mages from an older than civilization's empire...come on, give the RP a rest folks.

If you won''t let us merge Markets than let us at least trade goods (inspirations!) between factions.

I'll be getting two copies of GR but this is FAIL.

The inf disparity is always going to be there. More people will always play blueside, for whatever reasons.

MERGE THE DAMNED MARKETS.
I'm sick of not getting items for weeks, I'm sick at the lack of supply, I'm sick at how many more Merits I can get blueside.

It's stupid, it's an RP contrivance and its time is past due.

MERGE THE DAMNED MARKETS

One thousand times what Sam has said.

Stop sending me to Bloody Bay.
Stop sending me to Seer Marino.
Stop sendimg me to Jim Tremblor.

Yes, I understand these may be items of interest to a new player.
Tha may complicate things somewhat, but how about a veteran badge check? Sadly, this would affect a new account as well as a new player.

I PL a lot but lately I've PLd past those 'boiling points' just so I don't get sent to those zones. Amazingly, I've gotten a contact at level 39 after a safeguard and they didn't send me to the crappy Warburg Liaison or whatever...

So annoying...

Our heroes malcontents, politcians, hockey players and ordinary folk who overcame great odds.

Super Trudeau?
Lester B. Fearson?
Louis Riel the Great?
Terry Fox the Superspeeder?
Alexander Graham Hell?

Sooo many possibilities, so little time.

Just a reminder this is tonight before the Hami raid.

It's a good post but I would recommend against bringing a buffer to PvP zones/Arena these days. You already have 30-40% global resists to all damage, so Sonic shields won't do much to you. Heals degrade every 7.5 seconds, so while you might get an AP/HO in, hopefully your partner can evade/Hiber/Phase because the follow-up spike might get them.

Forge/Fortitude/World of Pain/RAs are still decent, though not as world-breaking as they were I12 and previous with Power Boost+Fort etc.

You're probably better off bringing a SS/FA Tanker/Brute, SS/Ice Tanker (does reasonably well still), Psy/EM Blaster, /Therm or /Pain Corr etc. Heck, in a lot of the Arena matches my Ill/Emp was in recently there wasn't anything to do after buffing so into spiking I went between heals, etc.

Also, use inspires and try not to complain when you get defeated...had this DM/SR Scrap go: "You're terrible, you phase and Hibernate and you run around and blast all the time, just stand and fight. Fight with no insprations too!" So I did, hit him with Heat Exhaust and since he had no blues and my attacks had more range, still won.

Anyway, good to see En3my writing this up.

There is still some PvP here but try Infinity (they have Thursday night kickballs and Sunday events) or Freedom (very busy) for consistent PvP action.

Welcome to Champion.

Also, hai barrier.

Hey,

Pinnacle is a little light redside.

Try Infinity, Freedom, Virtue for beefier redside play.

That said, at 50 (redside) you can:

LRSF (I have a Rad/Therm that needs this, global me @Neuronia if you run one).
ITF
Barracuda
Respecs (doable in 15-20 minutes with a coordinated team)
Unlock various contacts
PvP (This may not be your cup of tea...)
Rikti War Zone arcs

ALso, hitting 50 unlocks Villain Epic Archetypes, these can be downright crazy when well built. You can innate team-oriented buffs, debuffs, range or melee attacks...very very powerful stuff and they have their own storyline too, that unlocks you a second costume slot around level 10!

The game is really alt-friendly though. All the powerset combinations and archetypes mean you can probably roll four to five heroes and villains before you start feeling 'grindy'. I don't alt much anymore but I've been playing close to give years. I used to start new alts like candy; the invention system has lowered this urge a lot since I like to IO out my alts extensively.

I get to 50, craft and sell my drops.
I roll in the 40-45 range for Merits, craft and sell my drops.
I sell all my salvage drops as well.

Profits flow like milk.

Depends on times and servers.

At times I've had trouble finding teams on Pinnacle, other times I get invites.
No trouble on Champion but I'm well established there.
I have occasionally had some trouble teaming on Justice/Triumph though.

168760 - A Death in the Gish has gottten universally good reviews.
Lowbie range (sub 20) with no crazy elite bosses or custom mobs.

Cheers for your time!

The new event is definitely awesome. Love the mayhem of the mobs, the banners, the new badges. Great stuff overall, devs.

Hoping to see more outside activities in Going Rogue...

/gfriending you because this idea is awesome.
