Steel_Cyclone

Finally! My scrapper, Steel Cyclone, hit level 50. And so I have my first level 50 on the european servers.

Big thanks goes out to Cold Rock and Lionchest for those excellent AV runs we did throughout the majority of my 40s.

Anyone else who teamed with me up to 50 also, of course, big cheers!

Oh well.. I guess that's it for the GM badges then unless I join a semi suicidal mid to large sized SG, hehe.
Thanks for all the responses guys... Guess I'll just try to get the normal achievement badges instead.

And I do agree that nerfing them was completely pointless, anda waste of content. When I posted I'd been away from the US servers for quite a while and not aware they had been nerfed in the first place..

I mean... who cares if GMs gave mad XP? They're *giant monsters*, they're supposed to. Bah...

Well guys - I'll just join you all on the badgers channel and maybe someday we'll see some improvement, till then I'll just hope I can find a group of mad level 50s when I get to 50 myself and we can throw ourselves at them as much as we want.

Good idea.. giant monsters should sit on tram stations and force people to deal with them or die. :P

Alright, I'll go play some more City of XP/hr now, sorry.. I meant City of Heroes.

Yeah it's a real shame that people are scared to death about debt. If I recall, debt gives badges in itself. :P

Great badger opportunity, rack up debt and get some monster badges too!

Fair enough... Let's see if we can reduce the GM population in IP by the end of today then. ;P

Edit: That is to say I'll join the badgers channel and give it a go, who knows... It may just be that no one in the channel that's seen all the Luscas lurking in IP had any interest in cleaning up, hehe.

It seems rather ineffective as nothing is really done about the monsters, though.

I'll leave the thread to mature a bit however.
If enough people express interest in setting up a server-wide network to fight Giant Monsters, that could really help people trying to get badges.

Alright folks, I may just not be aware of it, or it may not exist...
But wouldn't it be great with a global channel for Giant Monster warnings? They have had this on the US servers for a while back now and it's worked great.

I've seen three, I repeat THREE Luscas at once in Independence Port now. And every one of them is a wasted badge because no one is interested in fighting the giant monsters of Paragon.

I've seen them in IP, Croatoa, Dark Astoria, Perez Park and a few select others. What should be known is that there ARE badge awards for defeating these giants!

So I propose we set up a global channel called Defiant Watch or something along those lines for Giant Monster patrols!

I hope there's some interest because I remembered having a blast back on the US servers when the community gathered around a threat to Paragon and dealt with it swiftly as one large group.

If anyone has any interest in this I think it's worth a shot, I just think it's such a waste that fine encounters that anyone can join in on should go to waste.

Giant Monsters are indeed scaled to fit every level in the game from 1 to 50, although level 1s may only approach at their own risk.

But right... this is something anyone can participate in and it's alot of fun to see so many heroes work together, I've met quite a few nice folks in their higher end levels who seem to be itching for work, this may be something for them to fill the occasional moment of tedium with adventure.

But to finish, I hope this can happen.
