If he's gonna die on the ITF I'll bet it will be due to the 3rd mish lag. Cool challange though.

I'll bet 5 Billion Inf that if he dies on an ITF with me that it won't be due to lag.

Unless it is the lag that keeps him from getting out of range of your Team Teleport...

My brother, Chriffer, who may or may not be seen in this video has reached level 38 on his one-life-to-live, perma-death, or "hardcore" City of Heroes" character. Diablo 2 had a "hardcore mode" where if your character was defeated via any circumstances that character became dead forever and unplayable. Any circumstances include lag, disconnects, your little sister logging in, cat on keyboard, stupid teammates, exploits, or War Witch spawning Hamidon on top of you.
Chriffer is playing a Storm/Cold defender. He only joins PuGs (pick-up group, only people he doesn't know) that he doesn't start, he doesn't hold the star, and he doesn't offer tactical advice. He rolls with the tide and sticks through thick and thin with the "bad teams"... well... maybe not ALL the bad teams. (Check out Bad Team Bingo which we should update soon). Now that he's reached the upper levels he has to play more conservatively. He's received 85,000 damage and been held/slept/etc. for 5 minutes. He's had some close calls and all his teammates have died a few times but he's been able to eat the candy tray and bail out. He just got Vengeance at level 38 and it really helps
He's promised to join one of my Imperious TF runs if he reaches level 50. Here's hoping I can rub his face in the dirt once he reaches 50. I know of at least two other players who have reached 50 undefeated while playing the game and not simply standing in a corner. Great work to them! Chriffer may be among them eventually. Hopefully, if he goes down he goes down swingin'. Better to see an awesome defeat than die to disconnect. Maybe I'll give it another attempt as well. My last defeat came when my team of 8 opened a door in a Council cave I knew was hot. I backed up because I could see the robot arms and legs sticking out. Naturally, when the door opened the entire pack shot me, not my 7 teammates standing next to them, and I died instantly. There passed Smurph, level 28 Controller.
If you are interested in giving this a try feel free to roll up whatever and join some PuGs. If you'd like to team with fellow one-life-to-live characters head on over to the Iron Eagles on Justice/heroside. We'd love to have you aboard!
