Actually all we got was debt and a special title, "Midnighter's Savior."

I'd be there to taunt mitos again. I have my Stone/WP broot.

You do this daily in our SG base. :P

I've been playing mostly on villain side now for about a month now because I've been on hero side for the past 3 years and it started to get stale for me. I have done every single story arc, task force, and trial over there so I needed a change of pace. There's still so much content on villain side that I haven't even explored yet.

I've noticed a good amount of people on villain side as of late. Compared to last year's search population that is. I know a handful of my friends have migrated over from blue side for a change of pace as well. There are times when getting a team can be tough due to the lack of players available as Triumph is not as widey populated as Freedom or Virtue. But what we lack in quantity, we have mostly quality players.

I personally feel villain side's got better storylines and more unique mission content. I wish there were more exclusive SFs to complement hero side's greater choice of TFs.

I just hope there are more co-op zones available for all level ranges. Like putting hazard zones that don't receive as much traffic such as Perez Park, Boomtown, Dark Astoria, and Eden to good use.

Learn to aim! They got my ear.

Time to start T.F.
All accounted for? Ready!

WTF you weren't joking afterall, 3Mile. o_O

I started this Ice/Fire tank 2 years ago based on this guide and made adjustments to compensate for psi resists and defenses. All sets that are shown are actually in my build. When I get the motivation to, I'll maybe outfit her with some purple sets but for now this build has worked wonders for me on all missions.

I have tanked the STF with this build five times so far. Recluse is harsh as he can cut through the Ice Armor like butter but with some orange and purple inspirations, I can tank just as well as other tanks without having to hibernate so often. Of course a support toon or two close by doesn't hurt.

Thanks for taking the time to get this macro set up! Now if there was a way to implement a block to spammers from sending emails, that would be fab. Been getting at least 1 email a day from these jerks on several of my characters.

Great guide Star! I wholeheartedly agree with your statement about defenses as a priority in one of your posts. You're no good lying down on the job.

I don't see Tough and Weave in your build. Are those pool powers even necessary? I have a level 36 Fire/Ice tank and was thinking of respeccing out of them.

Or maybe Doctor Miller died because you never cured the plauge and it got so bad it eventually killed him.

[/ QUOTE ]

No because he saw other NPCs smoking cigarettes and then decided to do that as well.

At least now all of my characters can finally get that damn Isolator badge. Especially the ones that were created in Issue 1.

...many of the infected are not technically dead...

[/ QUOTE ]

So they're not dead, but they are...

[/ QUOTE ]

YES! They're not 6 feet under rotting in a Dark Astoria grave. They are dead in that they can never regain their humanity again and most people here are assuming the cemetary route. They are however still there like maniacal 28 Days Later zombies.

They is dead.

As part of our continued coverage of the history of the Outbreak plague, the Times would like to remember this year’s fallen.

Fallen to THE OUTBREAK PLAGUE.

"Users of Outbreak experience a feeling of invincibility and a boost in physical strength, but there is also a corresponding increase in violent tendencies and aggression. A single dose causes physical addiction and will cause a rapid and unstoppable mental degradation resulting in clinical insanity. Doctors have been unable to reverse the loss of memory and personality associated with Outbreak madness."

Umm none of the contacts died... If you've read the article, it explains that once you are infected with Outbreak, there is no cure. Which means they have super powered AIDs. Not dead yet.

I must say that playing a Gravity/Trick Arrow controller to 50 has been an absolute blast. I used this guide to decide which TA powers would be best suited for my character and in the end I took all but Flash Arrow. It's such an amazing set that pretty much all the powers have a relatively high value. Great guide!

This is such a great guide to base my current template on! I'm really loving Gravity/Trick Arrows because of all the long range controls and all the debuffs. I've gotten to the mid-20s thus far and have been enjoying every moment.
