A totally amazing picture Great artist

My daughter watched anime non stop and would get a kick out of this...

Mia Mioshi
Bam Bee

These are my two favories.. Bam is a 35 Level Brute and Mia is a 32 Level Scrapper. Don't really have any preference on which but if I had to chose I guess I'd take Bam... With the Purple and Pink hair and her small stature I had an anime style character in mind when I created her
==================================
Looking forward to seeing what you create

Okay Jesse Here are some shot's I took over lunch

Well Thank you She works out quite a bit to stay in shape and appreciates the compliment. *wonders if it would have made any difference if she'd said "with panties" when Juggy asked* LOL

P.S. If you can't see your way clear to making her more PC, then why not have them both strip-off completely except for facemasks and power auras. Then they could mud-wrestle or engage in other diverting pass times.

Bruthaman ... I'll talk with the girls about this propoal but I seriously doubt they will agree. Then again maybe if there was enough white wine or Tequilla involved ... No no! I must be a good girl

[ QUOTE ]
Well, there just might be a "T" in there somewhere, but I'll never tell.

Since Juggy is being a gentleman I will tell... Especially since it's My behind we are discussing LOL Bam wears a thong!

Oh and once again Juggy.. thanks so much for the picture I love and so does my daughter!
================================
Sorry if that disappointed anyone with any other ideas .. hehehe

Very nice. Juggy already did a great pick of my two favorite characters but I have a new one I would love to have drawn... TaxiBot Sara. I'll have to get some screen shots of her and send them along for you to check. How's the new baby?
========================================
Bam Vs Mia Thank you Juggy

Great Picture Juggy (as always) I do love your work!

=======================================
Bam Vs Mia and thanks so much for turning me into a toon

I love the costumes, so that was my choice, but I also wanted to say that my favorite group so far is the Freakshow ^_^

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I agree. LOL Everytime I team and we walk through the door of a mission and some ones saye "It's FREAKS" I say "Oh good I love fighting them" Usually I then have to explain that because they Rez I can get double XP for defeating the same Juicer Chief or Swiper Tank twice. Up to a certain point on, on COV anyway, they offer up the best XP per defeat and I just love the crazy outfits and enhancements they wear.

Just a note... Least favorites are COT (mainly because of those elaborate caves they hand out in that take forever to get through), Skyraiders (Porters are just a complete pain in the behind), and the Council (sort of the same reason as COT.. those bases they have in caves drive me crazy trying to find that one stupid troop that has wandered off into some corner and I can't get Mission Complete til I find him)

I do agree with some of the other comments here .. Poll needs to be expanded to be completely accurate .. and maybe even changed to a ranking system rather than JUST PICK 1. Let's say I give my first choice a 10 and last a 1, everything else gets a rating somewhere in between.. then you'd get a real feel for what people enjoy or dislike about the game

Interesting how 10% (atm) put PvP and yet IMO that part of the game gets more than 10% of the focus.

[/ QUOTE ]

So you noticed that too? Doing a little quick math:

502 people chose story arcs (meaning PvE)
147 people chose PvE

So 77.3% of people that didn't go vote for costumes, badges or bases obviously prefer to play PvE over PvP. Costumes lead all candidate and those apply to either (same with badges but guess what .. lot more PVE badges out there than there are ones for PVP)

Can we send the final results of this poll to Posi and the Devs so they can TRY to understand the real appeal of their game?

Number 1 would have to be costumes. It's almost as much fun creating a new character as it is playing/leveling her. I'll spend as much as 30-45 minutes trying out different combinations to find just the look I like. Even then I am rarely satisfied at one point I had around 6 free costume tokens on my 42 Level MM .... I changed her so much and so often trying to come up with "just the right look" that several members of my old VG that I teamed with all the time didn't recognize me. LOL

Number 2 (I know, I know I'm only supposed to pick one but I just can't ) Is the friends I've made here. If I'm not on a mission you can't shut me up. Even when I am inside a mission if I'm not actively fighting someone... I'm chatting. Now if I'm on a team I refrain because I don't want to get anyone killed or hold thing up while I BS .. but if I'm solo I'm chatting!

Numer 3 (Okay so I can't follow direction... sue me ) Story Arcs. Newspaper mission on COV are great for quick leveling and I'm looking forward to the Police Scanner mission on COH .. but it make the game more interesting when you run an arc where one mission leads to another until you complete the goal the contact is trying to accomplish.

Number 4 (Oh just stop yelling at me I'm almost done I swear ) Badges! I ummm actually have a macro set up on Harley Babe where all six minions point a finger at her, laugh and chant "Harley is a Badge [censored], Harley is a Badge [censored]" Usually use that right after we've completed a badge mission to make my team mates laugh and of course I respond that I am not and then proceed to weep and tell them to stop picking on me.

Okay I'm done... I promise No really I swear I don't have any more favorites and I'll be good now!
======================================
Note: the Forum censor will not allow the word [censored].. please substitute "lady of the evening"

I love them. Lets see...

Mia Mioshi and Ka'Lora get a Redcap (My favorite zone) Lawn gnome pet

Lillithiel and Gothic Angel get Demons (Both are very dark characters) Demon pet

Mistress Mioshi gets a Mech pet (She's a Bots MM and that just seems to work) Mek pet

Harley Babe and Bam Bee I think would enjoy having a Rikti pet to annoy and abuse Rikti pet

Probably just give the rest clockwork or none at all... stalkers don't need "pets" tagging along giving away their position (lol)Clockwork pet
========================================
Now... since these are 36 month "pets" and I'm working on month 12 all I have to do is wait another 2 years and I can launch my plan

Love this post and as a "fairly" new Blaster I'm enjoying the challenge of being "squishy". If I have any advice to other new blasters its this...

Do some research on you AT! The only other character I have on COH is a scrapper and I knew, from reading posts here and on GameAmp, that there was no way I was going to be able to play the same way I do with my MA/REGEN Scrapper. I run .. therefore I live! A recent example I can give to this is a cave mission against the Trolls in the Hollows. I team with a good friend of mine from our SG (He's new to Blasters too and his main character is a Tank). I've tried on several occasions to explain to him we can't charge into a host of minions but he'll always be a tanker at heart I think and it gets him killed frequently(LOL). So we're working our way through the cave and down to the last tunnel and last bomb to defuse and he charges into a group of +1 spawns that includes a Lieutenant that is RED to both of us. We both end up up dead and he's lying at the feet of the LT. I volunteer to take the trip back to the hospital and while I am gone I level up and pick up a fresh supply of inspirations.

I take the taxibot (thanks so much you guys for all the rides) back to the door of the cave and arrive to find 2 minions and the LT left. My friend is telling me not to risk it he's called for help from a higher level member of our SG to come and save us. But I go into sniper mode... all three are spaced far enough apart and I fire off an arrow at maximum range getting the first one's attention. Of course he chases me around a bend and I take him out with no problem. I repeat the same tactic with the 2nd and now its just me and the Lieutenant. My buddy is still insisting that I can't win against this guy but after leveling he's down to yellow now and I decide to risk it. I start hitting him from a distance and, of course, after hurling a boulder at me, he charges. My fire arrow takes him down to half HP and by the time he's in close rang he's hurting. I use my Power thrust and send him sprawling against the wall of the cave. Two more arrows and he was gone. Gave my buddy an awake so he could Rez, defused the last bomb and we got a Mission Complete.

I have read up on my new AT and already have her build planned clear through level 50 to make her as good as she'll ever be. This advice is good for any AT do your homework, know your toon and its abilities, and learn to adapt or the game will be a misery not a joy. Nothing has given me greater satisfaction than completing that rescue in that cave with my blaster. Can she be deadly? You bet she can. Can she be a tank? Heck no so I don't try to play her like one.

4. Side Missions are your Friend. You will see some local bad guys in your trip to Paragon, those posers are NOT your buddies, but your key to further potential for fun. When you take out those locals you will find a key that will unlock a door. If you have problems finding that door check
your “clue” file or map. You will see a side mission on it. The different side missions can be anything from a hostage rescue, to an arson. These just aren’t fun but further time bonuses. The hostage rescue, some have said, take too much time, but if you have been breaking things and clearing the longbow ambushes, you will find that it is extremely easy, and those 6 minutes will go a long way.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just to add from my personal experience on this topic. Sides are not only your friend, they are a Godsend. Destroy everything in your path as you work toward the bank, and as mentioned take it SLOW so you never find yourself dealing with more than one Longbow attack at a time. Now ... Don't go completely out of your way searching for the side missions but when you get one DO IT immediately! That added time bonus for setting a fire, or kidnapping the witness from the Police just gives you even longer to run around destroying things before or after you complete the bank mission.

I've run a host of successful mayhems with my Masterminds and actually got to the point where I knew exactly where the villians were located that unlocked the keys. I'd blow up everything from cars, to mailboxes as I worked my way to them. Then do each side mission adding to the time I had in city (On one particular night I actually got to a point where I had almost 40 minutes on my timer .. and that was after spending maybe 9-10 minutes running around destroying the stuff I needed to get those bonuses). Needless to say I finished the bank job and destroyed EVERYTHING that could be destroyed in the entire city .... with time left over to run around looking to be sure I hadn't missed anything.

I actually prefer to solo Mayhems because the larger the group the more of each item you need to destroy to get a time bonus (so while solo I need to destroy 5 cars if I'm on an 8 man team we may need to destroy 35-40) Also. of course, you encounter a lot more Paragon City Police on teams and wading through their roadblocks slows a big team down. But I have run sucessful team missions too. THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember on a mayhem team is STAY TOGETHER! I've been on teams where everyone splits up and just starts going crazy as they seach for stuff to blow up. Well each one of those PPD roadblocks and each Longbow attack now has X number of more personnel based on your team size. If you've broken off into 2-3 smaller groups and run into a longbow ambush team they could care less that there are only 2 of you in that zone.. they still send 10,12, or 14 attackers. Then you wind up dead and spend the rest of your dwindling time trying desperately trying to break out of jail (which also has X number of extra guards based on your team size

Play smart, keep teams smaller so the bonuses come quicker, and stay together and you can have a lot of fun destroying one city block after the other
