Am i doing this right,or is there a better way?

What about redside? What is the best way to get purples?

I actually have been getting alot of purples (Stun, Sleep, Confuse and a few good ones) from the BAF.

personally I find soloing x4 - x8 radio/tip/rwz/paper missions can yield a steady flow of purples.

Ahh, I will try them tonight at 4+/8x. How long might it take to get something good?

BTW, I have my lore pets and my Stoney and am sorta permadom/hasten

I also have the Megolomaniac Acolade and Frenzy if this helps.

I don't have multiple accounts,nor do i plan or want to get them. That would take me to a whole new level and it's a step i will never make. One simple account is more than enough to satisfy all my gameplay needs,not to mention the added cost of having to pay for 2 or 3 subscriptions. CoH is not an expensive game,but one monthly fee is enough for me.
My farming is done with a simple SS/fire brute slotted with level 50 normal IOs,he doesn't even have any sets equipped. The alpha level shift and the steady supply of inspirations you get soloing x8 maps makes him capable of smashing the mobs quite easily.
Of course he may be slow compared to what eryq2 does,but i think i've found a nice effectiveness/per time balance.
Now,about the purple farms. It may be my bad luck,but when i tried,it took me AT LEAST 6-7 runs of a council empire mission to get one purple,often an almost worthless one (worthless for a purple,anyway).
I'm willing to try again,see if my luck changes,but i'm not getting my hopes very high. I will give it another go and keep you posted about the results.
I don't have the battle maiden map,by the way. How exactly can i get it?

@ Shadow and Nitrogen. On redside alot of people farm a Nemesis map from the Radio contact. On blue, i'd farm Freaks and BM. Those are the only two maps i get frequent purps from. I farm council, family, demons, freaks, and the BM map. I farm each map with a different toon and i know its RANDOM, but i promise i can count each purple i got on council and family on 1 hand. lol.

You don't "need" 2 accounts to be effective. I only have 2 so my wife can join me occasionally and i use it to pl each other. Running radios, tips or whatever can produce purples also. Run them at the maximum enemies that you can to optimize your chances. 0x8 is ideal and 0 bosses.

Freaks are thru Unai and the Bm is through Maria Jenkins i believe. Demons are fun, also but the tend to resist more making it take longer to kill. They are obtained through Harvey Maylor. The TV contact is obtained on the redside via a badge in G-Ville.

Like i said a while back,a small update on my progress. Following what eryq2 said,i did harvey maylor's arc and got the demons map. I figured they would have been easier to deal with since i am /fire,plus i liked them more than freaks and the rest.
In the last 2 days i have done the mission around 20 times,for a total of 3 hours of time.
Much to my surprise i got 7 purples ,and out of those seven 2 were ragnaroks and 3 hecatombs. A much better result than what i was used to.
I'll try to get BM map later to see what happens. Yeah i know too that drops are random,or rather they should be,but some factions and maps seem to drop better than others

They are random, but i farm about an hour or 2 everyday and up to 10 on any given weekend and can tell you that some maps very well drop more purples than others. Council especially sucks in comparison to Demons, Freaks and BM. I've ran more than 10 runs on Council with 0 drops. I've yet to run more than 10 on Freaks or BM and not get a drop or few. 2 weeks ago i got 13 drops in 16 runs on the Freak map.

I know what the devs say,what paragonwiki says,what the game rules are,what the players say and that drops are random and uninfluenced. That still means that something isn't working the way it should,because facts are facts,i didn't believe so either but it seems they are not very random at all when you get down in the field.
Maybe it's an error in the program somewhere,i don't know what it is,but run a map for a whole day and you get a fortunata hypnosis;run another and you get an average of a purple for 2-3 runs max,often a very valuable one

Perfectly logical. And until i tried it myself,i would have thought the same.
I play Dungeons and Dragons at home with some friends. One of those friends studies at a university. One time we had and absolutely absurd string of dice throws,and he asked his teachers to make a calculation of how many chances there was of something like that happening. It turned out it was an 1 every 141,789,327,106 chance,i still keep the results just for fun.
I know how the mechanics of probability works. And it could be just random luck. I still find easier to believe that an error somewhere is causing abnormal drop rates in some circustances. Considering the awesome amount of bugs that all pc games suffer from,that wouldn't be too strange,or not?

Now just a question,checking paragonwiki i see maria jenkins has battle maiden missions in both story arcs, hero's epic and battle praetorian theat. The first has battle maiden almost halfway through,the second ends with battle maiden. Is there any difference between the two? They both seems to be "go to warrior world and beat everyone" maps

With a FF/elec,i wouldn't stand it either. Nothing wrong with that character,actualy i like force fields,but you need a character capable of killing lots of enemies fast and with ease or else it's impossible. It's already mighy boring as it is.
All my mains are built toward being strong against hard single targets,and i don't farm with them either. Powerful AoEs are mandatory for this
