I21 Headstart, what are you making?

I was pretty impressed with StJ during beta, and would love to make one, though I know that won't be possible tomorrow.

First I will be re-rolling my Fm/Reg into a brute.

Second toon will either be a SS/EA, or a Wm/Sd scrapper.

What about everyone else?

Dual Pistol / Time Manipulation Corruptor.

I've got a Beam/Time Corrupter set and ready to go. Got the costume and everything, just need to copy the costume file over from Beta.

I want to do a Dark/Dark Blaster too, but I don't have a concept yet I'm happy with, so that may wait.

all with concepts that fit into my stories:

beam/time corruptor (I know, I know)

plant/poison controller (an alternate universe version of my plant/thorns dominator)

dark/dark blaster (a mirror of a dark/dark defender I have)

oh, and finally an energy/ice stalker

In creation time order:

Fire/Time Controller
Dark/Mental Blaster
Battle Axe/Shield Scrapper
Spines/Ice Stalker
Beam/Traps Corruptor


Then possibly:

Thugs/Time Mastermind
Dark/Ice Blaster
Stone/Regen Brute

I think that should last me a while.

My original main will finally get another lease on life as an Ill/Time controller.

Followed by a nice Dark/Dark blaster.

And a Therm/Fire defender.

...if they released Street Justice in this issue I'd be REALLY busy.

I'm no Steelclaw, but I'm kinda OCD about making characters in pairs. Have to balance every hero with a villain, and similarly every Hero AT with a Villain AT, after i18. So with that in mind, I'll be building quite a few, even, for that matter, a fairly large number that I could be building before it releases.

I have four I'm planning for the day of release:
~Dark/Mental Blaster
~Plant/Poison Controller
~Electric/Earth Dominator
~Something/Energy Stalker (yeah, I haven't decided yet, and better do it quick!)

Once Freedom begins, I'm planning to start a duo with my formerly-subscribed buddy who will be returning as a premium, so at that point, two more:
~Fire/Time Corruptor
~Rad/Pistols Defender

And finally, when/if they ever restore the missing Beam Rifles, I'll be purchasing that set and making:
~Beam/Devices Blaster
~Thugs/Dark Mastermind

All but the Corruptor are going to go on the new server, since all my slots on my regular servers now are full anyway (I'll probably move one off Virtue to the new server as well to make room for him). I'm not even worrying about the new melee sets yet...4-8 new characters should curb my altitis for now.

Been waiting a long time for something like time (pun intended).

Fire-Time corruptor. I'd love to do something more 'cosmo' like than fire, but knockback sucks and so does all the single target stuff.

Beam Rifle was something I was really heavily anticipating but I don't know that as a blaster it really clicks with anything? It also looks like the feedback on it has been very... underwhelming. I'm assuming we'll see it a lot with Defenders where its functionality is slightly less important. Just a guess though.

Beam Rifle had a lot of potential.... The creativity of AR was certainly lost a bit with BR. Still, giant laser beams are always 'cool'.

Illusion/Time controller (for sure)

At some point...

Something Something (still working on a concept)/Poison controller
Some kind of /MA tank
Dark/Dark blaster
Beamrifle/poison corruptor (?)

First I'll be camping as many names as I can get on the VIP server - not sure if I'll end up playing there, but if I do I want to be sure I have all the names I'd want.

Then I shall make:

A Pistols/Poison Corruptor (been a placeholder char waiting for this since Dual Pistols was announced).

A Grav/Time Controller (re-roll of a Grav/Sonic - I like the /Time aesthetic on him better).

A Beam/Sonic or Beam/Traps Corruptor (I'm undecided on which - Traps is fairly good fit thematically and more powerful than Sonic, but after rerolling the controller I won't have any Sonic Resonance chars and I like to keep my alts varied).


Probably also a Dark/Dark Blaster (alternate version of my main), and quite possibly a Ninja/Time MM just so I can shout "IT'S NINJA TIME!" at people.

A SR/MA Tanker Hero and a SR/KM Tanker Villain (possibly Brute, but the scaling resists and -damage on Tankers is going to be something to see).

Would've gone with Street Justice/Willpower Scrapper as I intended, but the set is delayed, so maybe I'll be playing it sometime next year.

Been toying with the idea of getting a second free account going just to get the full free game experience perspective. No idea what I'd roll there.

WARNING: I bold names.

Time/Electric defender for regular SG and allies teaming.
Beam/Traps corruptor, likely on Exalted for headstart event.

I'm tempted to also create an Electric/Time controller,
but two new alts is sufficient for now.

Katana brute of some sort and dusting off my stalled PB...maybe.

Warslinger - Beam/Rad Corruptor - Planning on taking only the absolute "must have" powers from Rad and focusing on Beam, which it kinda demands anyway. I'm sure Beam will work fine with busier sets like Time, but it was way too clicky for me.

Chronalist - Time/Sonic Defender - Sonic is definitely OP for Defenders, but I went with it because in its Original form its graphics mesh really well with Time Manipulation for simulationing a "Time Blast" look.

Turboman - Street Justice/Energy Aura Scrapper (or Brute, not sure yet) - Reroll of a Fire/WP Scrapper.

Consel - Katana/WP Brute - Brute with a Katana AND wearing a business suit, why not!

Nightslinger - Dark/Dark Blaster - Finally scored this name on Virtue, woot! As you probably guessed, this is my main character Lightslinger's mirror/arch nemesis.

Dechs Kaison with a new name - Beam/RadSonic corruptor. Undecided on sonic or rad. Undecided on the actual name I'll use.

For sure:

grav/time troller -- I don't care whether it's good, I have a concept in mind
thugs/time MM -- again, pure concept

I was gonna do a necro/time but I think I have enough /time already.

I don't think I'm gonna do anything with beam rifle, though I'll probably buy the set anyway.

Might well make something else, dunno what.

Now I want a warmace/time option. Also I want a peanut-butter-jelly primary for corruptors.

New idea I just had.

Time/Psychic defender. Some kind of time-torn psychic traveler. Or maybe a robot that has all kinds of synapse affecting functions, making time seem distorted for enemies. Lots of -recharge. I fully intend to floor an AV's recharge. And then make him go backwards.

The next two charas I already created concepts for:

Kinetic Melee / Energy Aura scrapper
Robotics / Time Manipulation mastermind

10joy

I've had a concept rattling around my head for a while.

The idea is that we've got this guy (girl, whatever) who's just SO CAPTIVATING that he/she can maybe talk you into doing things you might not normally be able to do, or just can put you asleep, or give you a headache.

Plus, this individual is also very charming, such that it's easy to just lose track of time due to their charms.

And so, a mind/time controller is tempting. Obviously, if I did this I'd be skipping Levitate and Telekinesis.

Kat/Elec brute
Beam/Traps Cor
StJ/Fire and/or Elec and/or SR and/or Will
Fire/Time Cor

Fire/Time Corr
Ill/Time Controller
WM/SD Scrapper
Katana/DA Brute
DB/EA Scrapper


In that order.

Well, let's see...

A Beam/Devices Blaster- character concept I've had for awhile, not CoX based but adapted to the game. (ignore the fact that this idea was spawned by Halo 3 ODST- I've never played it nor seen anything other than the idea of orbital drop troopers) Commander of an orbital drop strike team, has matter transmutation devices built into his gloves, uses them to build his gun out of thin air- same case for the assorted devices. -Costume, backstory, etc. complete

A Beam/Time Corruptor- (also I know, I know, just sounds like a fairly lethal hard-target killer- and I'm fond of the concept of Discourgigating targets)- I'm short one concept for this, so upon creation I will have to ad lib everything; not that hard actually .

An Energy/Time Corruptor- Same case as the first one, costume, etc. complete (although his costume depends on some Celestial pieces I won't have, so I'll have to substitute)

A Dark/Psi Blaster- Concept, costume, etc. all finished- really like the concept I developed for this one- sort of a moderator of light and dark forces throughout the universe- part of a group of beings just like him known as the Transversal Ones.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Upon the release of Street Justice- a StJ/Something- Currently simmering on ideas for this one (in other words absolutely clueless)

Upon the release of Titan Weapons- A Titan/Something (maybe energy?) Brute. This will be my first Br00t! (I got that right, right?- or is it the physical embodiment of pure unadulterated SMASH!) The idea of titan weapons momentum mechanic appears to be a perfect match for fury.



And until insperation strikes, that's it. (I will still have to clear some slots out at this point though!)
