Ended up leveling more then I usually do during double xp.
Took my fire/thermal corruptor from 44 to 50. Made this character first week of November 2005. Got it to 39/40 early on and just let it sit there for three and a half years. Finally respecced and generic IO'ed her out last month; power customization was a major factor in playing this character again. Blue fire just looks so much better. On Saturday, ended up just mad TF'ing with this character; Lady Grey, ITF, Silver Mantis, Ice Mistral, and Eye Ball SF. Need to do 3rd respec with it now.
Ran blue side Sunday, took my dark/dark defender from 26ish to 34ish. Ran Moonfire, Hess, and Citadel back to back.

Rock, rock on Hamster.
More busy than I thought I would be with RL going-on's, so only focused on my Claw/WP scrapper. Currently 38 to a little under 45. If I can tonight, I would like to get that last little bit to 45 out of the way.
Wish I could have worked on my lvl10 brute or 12 SoA, oh well more fun for later!
(PS - Hamster, how do you like the dark side? 
I remember when I use to pretty solo-only with my 1st scrapper and had trouble with the Terra AV. I was able to get a player to help, a dark def. I was so amazed, I rolled one the next day. She is favorite of my 4 defenders, so far.)
Yansan, shield/electric tanker, 45 > 50

Enjoy it. Only 2nd really serious defender, still dislike the AT a little. The secondaries tend to be craptacular/pointless compared to blasters and the primaries make you think, "Why didn't I just make a controller?" |

End use seems to be high, but no performance shifter slotted yet.
Also annoyed that you can't eliminate/take out the black out of most of the powers. Having fun through, really looking forward to having more slots on the debuff/mez powers, should really increase the effectiveness.

Level 8 - 20 on my baby WP/Elec tank. All solo, save two teams with people who had no idea what they were doing.
A good chunk of that was made running through the sewer to Steel. Then Radio missions and street sweeping until 19, then out to Faultline.
38-42 on my spine/regen scrapper.(who's been stuck in the mid-30s for about 2 years...)
That's about all I managed to work on due to work, and other time constraints...

Yeah, end use can get up there. I am not sure of you IO plans, but I was able to slot between sets and high end generics to manage end. Also, the dark EPP has a power that can restore end (drawing a blank atm). |

And yes, very controller like feeling I get, but when soloing, that really comes in handy.
I haven't tried to recolor her yet, but surprised to hear some dark is still left in the powers.

Only defender I've liked is the Dark/Sonic I have, just unfortunate it's not on Victory. The Dark/Dark corr I have is great on teams, but the damage is just so annoyingly sub-par for my criteria I can't stand to solo. Dark blast, as a whole, just seems really lackluster for such a less-resisted set.
The bot/dark MM I have is so incredibly overpowered it's sick/sad.
Dark Debuff > Rad Debuff > everything else. If they ever port it over for controllers, I'd make one of every primary with Dark Debuffs and live on another server.

I didn't really do a whole lot this weekend, opposed to previous Double XP Weekends. I got from 28 to 31.5 or so on an Ice/Kin Corruptor, and from 12 to 18/19 (can't recall) on an SS/Elec Brute.
I might log in tonight just to get to Stamina on the brute and knock out that last 1/2 a level to get Blizzard on the Blaster... but then again maybe not.

Yeah, no matter what colors you go for, you can't remove the black core/background to most of the dark powers. Dark isn't as fun to / color customable compared to, say, rad or fire.|

Well, it's still going, but I'll probably only have time to get my Isos Defender on track tonight with Hammy's Sister Pscyhe run. If there is time after, I may try to level my Warshade a bit so I can get to the next Kheldian story arc for him.
As it is, I made a little cash with Grey Pilgrim, made some Prestige for my solo SG with Crey Hunter 1.0, and got my Stalker (Gentleman Death) from 37 to 39 (which is nice, I want to get him in to the level 40 story arcs, but there are a few things he needs to finish up in the 30s first). Not too bad in the time I have to play the game.

Spent Friday and Saturday with the woman. Sunday morning at work. Sunday evening I got Ele all of 4 whole percent towards leader. Monday evening, got a new claws/elec to 22. Yay productivity.
Bro got my elec/shield to fitty (pacted to his shield/elec). So that's nice.

My Widow made a nice haul of loot and recipes which will let me finish slotting her Armageddon set and make a dent in her Hecatomb set.
And then I found out I get to take a picture with the Stanley Cup next week. So that capped off my week very nicely.

That shiny cup is coming home to Hockeytown next year. Cindy Criesby will have to enjoy it while it lasts.
In fairly limited playtime, went from 30- or 32-ish to 43.5 on my current project, a farming Brute.
Other than that, just jumped onto whichever 50 toon would help others in their DXP pursuits. I still love playing the 50s!

I was able to get my Rad/Sonic defender from 21-35. I wasn't able to do any work on my Stalker; I just can't stomach CoV. I really don't know why there has to be two different zones. I'd love to be able to level up a villain in Paragon City.
But the big deal for me this past weekend was I got 4 purple drops! I hadn't gotten one in the last 1+ year and got 4 in three days!
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

And anecdotally, I tend to get more drops red-side than blue. And I play red-side less and less frequently.

Got my bane from 1-30 with various teamage, was surprised how fun this toon was so I never got around to playing up anything else.
