Sign of the Times....

I was wandering around Cap Au Diablo on my scrapper Mouse Police last night, and someone in my SG was starting up the level 15 Strike Force that begins in that zone. So I joined... and I was one of four scrappers on the SF.

Later in the evening we ran a Hess and a Moonfire TF over in Striga, and the team had three brutes.

I think that sort of thing is even more common right now than it probably will be in the future, since there are so many people who have crossed over specifically to get new badges. But it kind of made me laugh. ^_^

I have noticed no one discriminates against stalkers on blue side either. There has been at least 1 on ever team I have been on the past few days. Good Stuff.

This is also a sign of our times.



I love that Heroes are submitting to the dark and wicked temptation of badges. 'course, my villain, like the Joker in Nolan's Dark Knight, finds the idea of believing in things to be "hilarious". I'll have fun teasing these kids...

I'm moving at least one Stalker, Dom and MM over to blue-side, myself. I'm loving the crossover aspects of this game, to be honest.

My GM-hunting stalker has been loving taking down Babbage and the like. Killing Scrapy and Deathsurge has been getting redundant.

And I finally got a lvl 50 hero! Only because I switched my Dom over for thematic purposes.

I'm glad to hear that as I have a stalker I want to go heroside once he's out of Praetoria.

(I also have a tanker to go redside and I'm wondering if all the brutes won't just laugh at me in broadcast. -.-; )

Seriously Clave, Redside has some idea of what a Tanker can do thanks to buffed Brutes, but a true Tanker would be welcomed on just about any Strike Force. Do it.

I had to add: For some reason the only AT that makes me do a double-take in Paragon is Masterminds.

Maybe it's just that most bluesiders don't "know" about Stalkers yet... j/k

Anyway I keep thinking it's weird to have some of my heroes redside now.
Everytime I enter Grandville from the ferry I keep having MoSTF flashbacks.

Brutes wouldn't laugh AS LOUDLY if Tanks would just accept and admit that they're really just pets with badges.

Oddly, when I play red side, I KNOW not to follow a stalker. Blue side, I have followed them into bad situations (my fault, not theirs) multiple times.

Well, that covers all ATs that aren't MA/Regen Scrappers really, not just Tanks.

Brutes lost 75% worth of their peak damage cap, albeit with an easier-to-generate Fury gauge.

Tankers got a 10% increase to their maximum health, plus gained a special -20% RES debuff effect to their tier 1 power that gets around the purple patch.

If any brutes are laughing, it's the kind of laughter you hear just before their silence...and the fear




And the screams...

I think this side switching thing is brilliant.

I did a Citadel TF the other day and it was made up of a team of 8 different ATs - a complete mixture of hero and villain ATs.

It was great fun!

I've also done a Sister P TF with 3 Masterminds (I was one of them) and that was chaos but fun

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

That's funny to hear people call Tanks "pets with badges".
Since I've been herding Fire Imps for years I've come to consider Scrappers just as "big imps with badges".

Nah, scrappers get more power options.

So that is what those badges do, give them more attacks.

Yeah maybe. But you have to admit both Fire Imps and Scrappers just run around like mad little monkeys and make bad guys standing in front of you fall down dead. Not -that- much difference to me.

A team I recently led, blueside, had THREE stalkers on it. I told them before we started, "Any stalker that 'explores' the map gets kicked."

We had a great time.
