Portal Jockey is actually easier to get redside. Lord Schweinzer gives out all the Mayhem missions you need to get the exploration badges for. He unlocks by killing 25 "heroes" which can be Freedom Phalanx. Or switch to blueside and run the Brickstown Signature Arc. When you see him, tell him "Talk about something else" to any mission he offers you. The you can pick them Mayhem missions in order, which helps to keep track. All you need is the exploration badges, you don't need to win the missions. Vidiotmaps is your friend.

Doesn't the fur get in your teeth?

I have a radical idea. Have you considered 4-slotting Stamina? Power Transfer End Mod and Chance to Heal self (gets you 6% Regen as a set bonus), with Performance Shifter Chance for +END, and a regular ol' End mod IO (boosted to 50+5 when available) essentially took care of my Stormie's END issues. In Health (also 4 slots) she has a Panacea, Numina's Regen/Recovery, a Miracle +Rec, and a Miracle Heal (which grant a +2.5% set bonus to recovery). Grab the Atlas Medallion, as roleki says, and you should be pretty good. Portal Jockey accolade helps, too. Together they add 10% to your END, 5% HP, and these boost every source of heal and endrec as well. It's kind of odd that the Health procs benefit END and the Stamina procs tend to help HP, but that's the way it works. The synergy is excellent! PS: Scientist is quite right about Hurricane, it's the main defense provided to Stormies. Don't put a KB->KD in that one, you want it to make the bad guys back off. An END reducer is a good idea, though. With practice, it makes an excellent herding tool.

Definitely not in my case. This was a toon that had been duoing from the tutorial all the way to 50, all in the "real" world.

Bio editor bug fixing would be very welcome. I am a fan of writing bios (product of a misspent youth) and have been bitten by these bugs more times than I can count. Extended character count is not a priority for me, but I can see it being popular. Thanks for looking into this! Also, dice-rolling would be cool. Now, kidding: Can we have a pack of cards and a roulette wheel, also? Or bingo, bingo would be neat!

A thousand blessings upon your collective heads!

Have you guys tested your new launcher under WINE?

Anecdotal only, but on one character I never got the good Captain as a contact. I had to pick him up manually, by starting his arc from Ourobouros. ("Eye of Judgement, Dark Astoria Prologue"). After that, things proceeded normally.

It reminded me of old-school AD&D where one joker would secretly be psionic, and everyone had to deal with squid-faced guys in dressing gowns all night long. (No, I'm not dating myself. That's illegal in my state.)

I remember when just having a Kheldian on your team, however briefly, "tainted" the whole team until they all logged off. Those Crystals and Void hunters would keep showing up forever unless everyone logged off. Good times!

That was pretty damn spectacular. They could make a movie.

Cool! When Some Random Player in CoH is better behaved than the most generous in other MMOs. That's so very CoH!

Even just the more innovative use of standard maps is refreshing. Tip mishes are s nice change of pace!

There are some... technical legal issues that need to be addressed first. Then, sure!

I believe the accepted wisdom is to organize into "cells" of three people, only one of whom knows the higher-up contact. That way, no one can betray the entire organization. CoH runs fine from a USB stick, so cloning parties ("samizdat") are one way to spread the word. Of course, if you are compromised, the Devs will disavow all knowledge of your actions. Good luck, Jim!

That's a very interesting idea. I'd like to see that. Current PVP zones don't do it for me, but that sounds fun.

Oh, so much this! I have one toon who uses the Rocket Board as a quick way to detoggle, but it's a pain on literally every other character.

Steven Spielberg has a lot to answer for in this regard, also!

Nice ones! I especially like Buzzkill and Thunderbird, good catches! On Torch I have (named after a friend and frequent duo-er who can always seem to avoid my AOE heals and buffs): Buff Dodger (Of course, he has a retro spacesuit costume.)

You and Howard Phillips Lovecraft!

Wow, some excellent catches there!

That does seem to help, many thanks!

Agreed! Plus, you can have up to 5 Lagranges! And extra credit for Misadventure and Scrapperlock!

I meant, what name did you get? Wardenclyffe Tower? Tesla's Wardenclyffe? Edison's Bane?* *Sucker deserved it. What a jerk!

Wardenclyffe, NJ?
