Has the wiki been stable today (other than the 2 minute server reboot)? Just trying to make sure everything seems to have settled with the hardware migration.
It seems so but I am at work so cant really surf my little Beamer heart out like I do at home when I am drunk and feeling silly. 🙂

Were you using Ouro for the go-backs? I am debating on this.

Its back up.
Let me say this here and now, thank you for maintaining and updating this. It is a valuable tool and while there is the collaborative aspect to it, it has to be maintained and kept up like you said @Michiyo.
Thank You.🏆

Brighid Moreira the (City Representative) in the Atlas Park City Hall. As she used to handle the cape and aura missions for heroes, she must of heard of a few stories.
This right here. She still does cape and aura and I can think of nobody better. She's seen them all come in and out.

Um, Regen. My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who overheard it talked about at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.
Thank you Simone.

Clearly there is a Greek Mythology thing going there as it is all over with the Warriors. Golden Fleece, Plato's Books, Kraken. SO factoring out a Pandora's Box which is in Talos already and a City of Gyros, there could be some fun Greek themed silliness. Maybe a restaurant called Oedipus Tex-Mex, Spartan Furniture (word play is fun!), Olympic Tan. Man I could do this all day.

Maybe they can be labeled as a business that's expanded out of the Rogue Isles (this is from Port Oaks, right across from the abandoned lab).
Respect!

OMG the DP and any arrow combination! The constant weapon swapping would make me pull my hair out, and hurt myself . . . with matches.

Back in the day when I was a Sophomore in High School I had a History teacher named Mister Mentzer (RIP) who also taught the fledgling computer science class (this was 1985) and he had a thing called the Swingline Disk Lock which he never explained until he caught a student bringing in a 5 /14 floppy with a C64 program called Artillery on it. He confiscated it and then proceeded to slam 25 staples into the disk, rendering it useless (though the first staple would have been enough).
It was a Swingline stapler and suddenly I understood.

Once you learn how to play it, it is actually quite fun and not underpowered.

I have a lot of characters and try to cycle through them regularly and they all deliver unto me a degree of fun (otherwise I would just delete them) but there are a few that I always go back to even though they are level 50 and the amount of content they haven't done is dwindling.
Runeslinger is a DP/Atomic Blaster who my badger so there is always an interesting dynami going on. She isnt as srong as my other two DP Blacsters but becuase of that there is more action. Di Di Guns is my DP/MC Blaster and is super crazy fun to play and I tend to RP a little with her as well adding to the fast and frantic fun. Probably my favorite still as she was my first 50 on HC. As a bonus (for ego sake) I get a lot of positive feedback on how she fights.
But recently the one that has become a blast to play because of the absolute frantic battle style is Boom Boom Britta, my DP/Kin Corruptor. OMG the sheer volume of SCOURGE alerts alone in a fight makes me tingly. Its like a superball with guns. Very fun.

Until HC I almost exclusively ran ranged types; (original) hero flavor, Blasters and Controllers. Conversely that is where I am both most comfortable and experienced. I had a single tank and Scrapper but didn't like melee so never ran up a Brute and hated the concept of a Stalker. I had a few Defenders as well as a Corruptor and an Mastermind but never a Dom (I hated obsessing over perma-dom . . . I got beter). It just wasn't me at the time. I also had an Arachnos Soldier, boring.
Anyway when I found out about HC and made my promise to do different and new stuff, I made a few Brutes and a Widow and I was like wow, these are cool. Tried Dominator and Stalker . . . yeah I will play them but meh; still no like. But I still rolled more Blasters and Controllers. So my toolbox toons, are the ones I play the most and find have the most to offer a team, regardless of composition. Most of the time a tool box toon is one that isn't stuck doing things from just one power set. But they have to be fun. I have plenty of very utilitarian characters parked in semi-perma retirement because of the absence of that.
- Di Di Guns/Runeslinger/Two Gun Trixie - All Dual Pistols Blasters with MC, Atomic and Ninjas respectively. All Blappery with strong strong survivability and loads of fun. TGT lays the best damage while Runeslinger has a lot of support in the mix and Di Di, well come one, she is freaking awesome. They can fit into any team and are rarely on the concrete/carpet.
- Betty Beatdown - Awesome tank (Inv/EM), built specifically to be a full function, full armor tank even while doing low level flashback/TF. She is a machine and it makes me tingly. I can insert her anywhere in anything and she is gold. Of course Damage lacking at low levels but that was the point. I hold aggro, the rest of you shoot. I have a Brute Highland Hammer who is also pretty damn good (Mace/Elec)
- Boom Boom Britta - Corruptor DP and Kin so everyone loves them some Boom. Such a toolbox toon with all the Kin stuff yet also a blast to play and can dish it out. FS and Hail then cleanup makes for secksi time. I mean solo or team she can handle it. Set IOs make her even better.
- Tempus Fabulous - Controllers are by default toolboxes to me but Tempus is my fav with her Gravity and Time. So much variety in action and so team helpful. Yeah. Most of my other controllers dont feel as helpful and fun
- My Widow, Operative Violet - Hard to hit, hard to hurt, lays out damage, lockdown and team buffs - The very definition of a tollbox toon. Forgot how fun she was to play until I ran her on some TF/SFs.

As stated before the team NEVER listens to my instructions on this mission.
Use your outdoor voice 🙂 Nobody can understand faint hissed curses and that horrid eastern European accent, you damn near need subtitles to read English.

Back on live when CoV was released I created Low Beam, explained as High Beam (my bestest main) from another dimension (before going Rogue, got idea from Maria Jenkins Arc). It was . . . meh. In my private fiction writing, several of my characters have Nexus Counterparts from other dimensions. I have a propensity for doing the long lost twin/sibling/offspring/relative thing with my HC characters, kind of like remaking the ones from live but acting as if live was an alternate dimension and some escaped before the dimension blipped out.

I cannot speak for others but I have played since live and I have never, ever bought an inspiration. Also there are some I simply burn if I cannot sell, orange, small rez, small acc, even at lowbie levels. Defense, Mez, larger rez, rarely damage or acc (situational) but they do get used. The P2W decline small is awesome.

What ees happening?

I run a SB/Rad Blaster and have great fun with her and find no real problems with being able to deal with trouble. As has been said several times, the key is knowing how its uniqueness works and how to use it properly. Sure there are areas for improvement but again, as several have said here, there are other sets that are way more long in the tooth that could use some attention.
Its new, it's gimmicky at times and I love it because it isn't just a copy-->paste-->reskin and rename power.

Yeah that was a shock to me as well when I visited during Desert Shield. Also couldn't believe the amount of graffiti and soda cans inside the pyramid. Or the children rooting around the dumpsters several hundred feet in front of the Sphinx.
