Now on to Thanksgiving: Giant Monster radioactive turkeys and chaos breaking out as Freakshow try to play gridiron football on the streets of Steel Canyon during the Wentworth's Thanksgiving Day parade, complete with signature character chibi hot-air balloons. Well, one can dream.

I play on Excelsior and went to both Goblins and Pinks. Fun and great design. Got some cool stuff in the treat bag but really, just marveled at the design. Pinks was not really a haunted house per se but beautifully gothic looking space with a glorious cathedral feel. Goblins was a great maze haunted house especially when the Patient Zero Character (Necro MM) is following you around making you feel . . . well creeped out so mission accomplished.

Yello did the soundtrack for the Adventures of Ford Fairlane
Wayne Newtons was in that.

I don't mean to interrupt but I got a delivery here for some gasoline. It says you ordered the matches separately and are just waiting. I don't know when you are gonna use it but someone needs to sign for it.

Superman - But not so much everyone's super strength deal. I was more like Invulnerability and Flight is what makes me think of the Man of Steel.
The Flash - Super Speed is the only thing I attribute to him. I know that isn't all he has but that what my mind evokes. In game, I think Flash when I see a super speeder, even if they are a pixie sized female character with butterfly wings and a vivid purple costume.
The Punisher - Assault Rifle and Body Armor (Munitions Mastery). You have a rifle, that's who you are. That's who you were thinking of when you made your character and you know it 🙂
The Human Torch (Johnny Storm version) - Fire/Fire Blaster is spot of and the only thing I think of. You can be dressed as a cat girl and you are still Johnny Storm, cat girl.
Wolverine - Claws/Regen - You know what you did and that's okay.
But most don't truly evoke a specific hero (or villain) for me in large part because of the fact that they never quite fit. Sometimes it is pure costume aesthetic, the way the power manifests in game doesn't quite sync up with the character in comics. Other times its the mechanism of the power as it is rendered. That is part of why I enjoy the game so much because the powers don't fully mesh up with a specific character. You have a shield and some melee power but you aren't throwing it doing three point ricochet shots so you aren't the First Avenger. You have the costume and chose devices but you cannot be the Dark Knight because post comics code says no guns. You have the satin tights and you want to fight for our rights but try to make the powers work there, you cannot be the Princess of Themyscira. No webs no Spiderman . . . the list goes on and on. And that is great.
That allowed me to make my own characters (albeit always locked into a specific gender but that was my choice) and therefore able to create my own stories. The Munitions' Mistress, a hard core merc and mother with a lot of issues. Krystala, a rock Blaster and renegade from the Circle of Thorns who now hunts them. Boom Boom Britta, the inexperienced Kineticist from Praetoria struggling after the loss of her home world. Runeslinger, the awesome magic girl and her awesome pistols Sigil and Glyph. Tempus Fabulous the temporal scientist from an alternate earth where science is respected who desperately tries to get people in this earth to listen to reason before its too late.
All because the game evoked the spirit of super heroes not the super heroes themselves. I know it sounds like I am up on a soapbox, and I would be lying if I said I hadn't made characters inspired by comic characters (albeit Punisher with breasts), but the copies, the ones where I tried to be like those comics characters never lasted.

Joke inbound, stand clear of blast zone:
Defenders?
It depends if you are talking old school comics or the Netflix series. Old school definitely take Dr. Strange. If you are talking Netflix then Luke Cage for sure.
Joke detonation complete. Secure from alert.

Yeah, the devs stated in a different post the mechanics behind why this was happening and that the time crunch precluded fixing it this season but will fix for the future. With that said, there is almost always a large League running in both PI and Kallisti Wharf where you can get in on the badge/Aether fun. If your goal is to knock on doors alone, maybe see if pulling up a Ouroboros mission below 25 will exemp you down to where you could door knock in say Talos and EBs shouldn't be in the mix (I have not tested that theory). Also, as a side note, I sat next to the Banner of Scorn in IP with a level 43 MM/Trap Merc with the boys on auto-fire and just wiped them as they spawned for 15 minutes, almost like the door experience except no badges.

When you take Combat Teleport and use /bind r "powexeclocation target Combat Teleport" all your melee characters have a charge ability.
I do this on one tank and of course its Burst of Speed on my DP/MC Blaster. Its neat.

I get the original buff which when I started was unslotted. The problem was after adding slots the other two troop types saw increases commensurate to the addition of additional slots and enhancements but Soldiers stayed flat at the auto slot with no enhancement. I took screenies of the final numbers but not the progression (or rather absence). After work today I am gonna yank the SOs from them and screenshot incrementally.

The issue was specific to the Soldiers bit getting it at all beyond the baseline. Spec Ops and Commando were getting it and any additional is nice. This was the post in the Bug Forum with the data I gathered:
Are Freakshow good annoying or just annoying annoying?
