I too enjoy picking on snipers. They're jerks, and they deserve it. I like to Gale them off the roof, let them hussle all the way back up, Gale them again, etc.

Also, the Superjump/Ninja Run "The Ground is Lava!" game.

Scraping Cot off the rooftops of KR with Hurricane.

The Frostfire ice half-pipe.

Mayhem missions. I love busting open mailboxes and seeing all those letters to Santa that will never get delivered. Mua ha ha ha!

Casting drop powers like Thunderstorm on REALLY inappropriate places on the various statues in town. Earthquake will make Atlas into ****** with surprising ease.

Destroy the Generators mission by Marshall Brass.... stand on the generators when you defeat it and it'll send you clear across the map! Makes me LOL every time!
Knockback ftw

Pretty things with lots of killing: Eden trial, Silver Mantis SF.

I beat up muggers, frequently. And 5th column.

Market games: I have a nearly-single-handed war against inflation going. Matching inf-to-prestige, generating unnecessary market fees by selling stuff for 110% of what I buy it for, etc.

I also have a project (which a LOT of people help with, much appreciated) to create recipes below level 50, because there aren't enough of those.

Coming in here and running my mouth.


Mini-guides: Force Field Defenders, Blasters, Market Self-Defense, Frankenslotting.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Wait, they can run? I thought all Sniper-rank enemies were totally immobile.


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

Costumes and base building - waaaay too many hours on either.

Costumes, sniper hunts, Super Speeding around a zone without stopping or leaving the road, helping lowbies, but more than anything, my personal vendetta against the CoT's dignity: Wizards Over The Cliff, Wizards Off The Roof, Wizards Into The Red Crystal Of Damage.

as far as i know, crey snipers do not have the immob, nor do the mooks with the snipers (as ive had a lot of experience with them running off) the only ones i know that are definitly immobile are the nemesis snipers

I have spent gosh knows how many hours in RWZ just to earn enough Vanguard merits for those outfits.

LOVE those outfits.

I like seeing how far I can go through the Shadow Shard using only the gravity geysers and/or Super Jump without falling. If a characters does have Super Jump, I'll try to use the geysers as little as possible.

I forgot about that. It's been quite a long time since I went to the Hollows to do missions.

O.o

I'm trying to imagine what this looks like. I'm pretty sure I'm failing, but the mental image is still one of the funniest things I've run into this week.
It's a riot - you need about 20 people to mark off the course, however many Khelds wanna race, and an equivalent number of /kins with SB at the starting line. The Khelds transform into Lobster form, do the /benchsit emote (I think), and then move around without breaking the emote. Line everyone up in the street in front of Atlas' statue (other side of the fence), sound off to make sure everyone's ready, each Kheld gets nailed with SB, and WHOOOSH off they go!

Somewhere I might still have footage I shot of one of these, to the tune of the B-52's "Rock Lobster."

As far as I am concerned, Void Hunters are kill-on-sight. After getting a PB to 50, I decided to roll a toon that would be specifically made to take on Voids and Quants (rad/dark defender). That toon ended up becoming my most powerful.

If you have super speed, run at full tilt into mailbox. Mail will come flying out of it!

Going to Perez Park at 50 and using an AoE power to quickly get the "Kill Skulz" badge.

One of my faves: going to RWZ with a 50 and standing in the middle of a bunch of Knives of Artemis.

Electrical blaster with electrical mastery - you can get three single-target holds. Go to a place inaccessible to baddies (like the platforms on the power line towers in Peregine Island), use teleport foe, queue up your best hold. Then blast and re-hold as appropriate. Most of the time you'll never take a single point of damage.

Taking a toon someplace it has no business being (like going solo at the lowest possible level in the various points of the Shadow Shard) and having a look around.

Taking my level 50 /storm controller to Atlas or Galaxy and using Gale on the level 1 Hellions. They go flying off over the horizon Team Rocket style. Never gets old.

I gotta say my favorite 'for fun' activity is collecting civilians. Basically on flyers, usually a peacebringer that I'm trying to get the first few levels I street hunt, and stay flying. When I rescue a civilian they'll chase after me to try and thank me and give me a pitance of inf, but since they can't reach me, they just run in circles under me.

I've found five is the limit before they give up.

Another victim of the aggro-limit code; you used to be able to drag a dozen or more civilians around behind you all over the map.
