Quoted for truth. JUST ONE MORE TURN!

Eat a Snickers. You're probably just hungry.

On Everlasting I see a lot more owls, bunnies, and crows than I see angels and demons.

This is what I would do. Really awesome final mission.

This is the way. At this range? With focused accuracy? Even when I miss I can't miss.

Playing the market on the auction house. There are many guides in the forums for this. It is the fastest way to generate tons of influence. If you don't want to do that, then: Play the game and earn reward merits, then convert those to items that you sell on the auction house. When Hess was the WST I ran it with 24 different toons, which generated 2,736 reward merits which I turned into enhancement converters that I sold for at least 191M (list prices were 70K, a small percentage of those bids sold for up to 85K, as well as around 10 hitting a few typos or very impatient bids)

I disagree with this to a certain extent. The Petrovic brothers (Skulls) play a role (albeit off-screen) in Provost Marchand's 30+ arc. You can also encounter them again in Doc Buzzsaw's new arc (The Freakish Lab of Dr. Vahzilok 30+), which implies some future content ("The Lords of Death are still out there, Character. As is my sister"). Also the new content with Agent Watkins and Doc Buzzsaw has extended the Vahzilok content out through the 30s.

Yes. Play Montague Castanella's arc. Play the rest of the King's Row Skulls arc (Eagle Eye) Run Posi 1& 2. You can solo Posi 1. Also, run Agent Watkins arc. Then run Doc Buzzsaw's arc.

Agree! After the arc I immediately went to see if Stephanie was gone ala Aaron Theiry.

Ever since it was introduced in Issue 3, Striga Isle has been one of my favorite zones. I love how the four story arcs flow into each other and how they culminate with you being introduced to Ernesto Hess. The Hess TF is my favorite TF - I absolutely love the build up to the giant mech, how you first see its feet, then it's head, ending with the epic fight up the catwalks to Burkholder inside the volcano. The temp powers you get through these arcs are amazing... Stephanie Peebles' wedding ring is a great trick to use when you get in trouble, and the War Wolf Whistle is great when you need that extra bit of DPS when soloing. I enjoyed it so much I made an alternate version of Stephanie Peebles. I like that I was able to incorporate her wedding ring into her costume (the cape brooch) and with psionic blast it really looks like the power of the ring is manifesting when she attacks. So yes, I'm a big fan of Striga content and was very excited to check out the new Villain Striga content. And boy was I not disappointed! I love tying the Crimson Prototype back to the Council's Giant Mech and the monster hunting with Orpheus. And last but most certainly not least, the epic last arc where you have to take down the last witch of Striga. I'm not going to lie. I knew that this last witch was probably going to be Stephanie Peebles. But when the mission text said: I got goosebumps. YES! I knew Stephanie was a HERO. Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooo! I love how the arc designer was confident enough in the players that we would immediately understand who The Last Witch was when we read this. And I'm not going to lie y'all. Stephanie kicked my butt. And it was great: I've never been so happy to have been defeated. Luckily I died behind that rock and I had a rez. I rested up and went back in and did what the villainous Blood Shovel had to do. And holy smokes! It awarded the wedding ring! I just want to say thanks to whoever wrote these missions. It was really clear to me that you care about the history and story of this game and Striga Isle as much as I do. Thanks so much and I'm so glad that I'm playing this in 2024.

Also having fun with my new buddy. Wish I could have Babbage and Paladin out at the same time!

I'm really enjoying the new Striga arcs so far (finished the first three arcs). I have a toon named Tavern Witch that's an alternate dimension version of Stephanie Peebles, so getting to finally see the inside of The Mermaid Tavern was cool. I really like tying the Striga Giant Mech to the Crimson Prototype.

Here's what I'm immediately doing: 1. Adding a Clockwork winder to my main toon's costume. My main, Unclocked, is Clockwork themed and although the Clockwork Aether costumes have been a nice addition, I am very excited to finally get the winder on my original costume. 2. I have a Dark Melee/Rad Scrapper, Undead Sister Psyche, that I have played to 50 but haven't trained past 43 because I am waiting on the Psionic Mastery epic power pool. I had assumed that Issue 27 Page 7 would be out by the time I got to the epic power pools, but I had so much fun playing this toon I couldn't stop myself from getting to 50. Really excited to get the Psionic set so I'm going to train to 50, spend a lot of influence, and then give it a spin. 3. I have a lvl 20 Villain ready to run the new Striga content. Very excited as Striga is one of my favorite zones.

PUG Life: 13 Hesses Ernesto Hess is my favorite TF so I always go hard after it when it's the WST. I ran it 24 times this week (each time with a different toon), 11 solo and 13 with PUGs I led. Every single PUG went super smooth. I was super impressed that all 13 PUGs went up the catwalks and fought Burkholder the way he was meant to be fought - on top of the giant death robot. I loved that many of my PUG teammates had Team Teleport and could facilitate bouncing around the Striga radar towers quickly. I was very pleased that except for 1 or 2 times, every single PUG waited until every team member was in the mission before completing the four quick radar tower missions (gotta get that prismatic aether mission complete roll for everyone!).

Big Country Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed, And then one day he was working on the farm, And an alien bomb hit and did his family harm. Rikti that is, monkeys, Infantry. Well the first thing you know ole Jed's really mad, The kinfolk said "You gotta get em lad!" Said "Don’t worry bout us we’ll carry on" So Jed loaded up the truck and moved to Paragon City, that is. Hazard Zones, Archvillains.
