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.

What I'm looking for specifically are contacts who have infiltrated the enemy group or who were a part of the enemy group and developed morals or something. So Julius is a Troll, but now he wants to save the trees or something so he has turned on the other trolls. Hess is a member of the Council who decided they have gone too far. Angus and Flux were undercover agents who infiltrated the Outcasts and Lost respectively. And Akarist is the first Circle of Thorns Oranbega to betray the group.

Who are they going to cast to play Doom? I think this is the most important thing to get right.

More Laura Lockhart thoughts!

If you are going to primarily solo stuff, you will have plenty of influence if you just follow these steps: 1.) Do content like story arcs that provide reward merits 2.) Go to a merit vendor and use those reward merits to buy enhancement converters 3.) Sell the enhancement converters on the auction house. Right now you can get about 70K per converter without much of a wait. This is the simplest way to make enough money to fund your toon all the way to 50. With that said, for soloing I think Brutes and Scrappers are the best bet based on your criteria, with brutes having a smoother go in the early levels and scrappers outperforming brutes later on.

So I was running Flux's missions for approximately 168th time and for some reason I started thinking about what would happen to ole Flux if the Outcasts figured out he was an undercover cop. And then I started to think about all of the snitches that populate the City of Heroes universe and how there should be a villain story arc where you get paid to deliver some stitches. So I'm going to get started on that in AE, but in the meantime in between time who are the biggest snitches in the game that, from a bad guy perspective, need some stitches? Here are some candidates: Flux Julius the Troll Akarist Ernesto Hess Angus McQueen

Yes. Weekly maintenance always happens at this time on Tuesdays.

Agree that staff fighting is the way to go. I went Staff/Ninjitsu Scrapper.

Fun Topic! Agree 1000% that Laura Lockhart is the best use of Ouroboros and I wish there were more opportunities like this. Most realistic time travel movie: Primer. So fascinating and confusing! Best time travel novel: Replay by Ken Grimwood. I have a concept I've been running in CoX similar to the time travel that occurs in Replay. Started with a Rad/BS tank named Atom Slicer. When he dinged 50, he found himself standing in front of Ms. Liberty, back at level one, but this time his radiation powers manifested as a Blaster. Once Atom Gunner hit 50, he once again found himself standing in front of Ms. Liberty, back at level one, this time as a Staff/Rad Brute. This irritated Atom Fury so he became a vigilante and then a villain. Once Atom Fury dinged 50, he was once again level one, but this time he found himself standing in front of Kalinda in Mercy. Atom Specter is a Illusion/Rad controller. I'm just going to keep going until I play all the rad powersets across the ATs. The costume stays the same and the name will always start with Atom.

The trainer in RWZ is kinda boring and nondescript (Vanguard Drill Instructor). Maybe replace with a Vanguard Related Hero (e.g., Faultline?)

The heart wants what it wants!

I can confirm 1 & 2 are still a problem. The first screenshot I am in Crey's Folly and have just defeated a freakshow and the counter did not decrement. In the second I killed Marcus and was awarded 1 villain point and 5 hero points

The worst is when the boss guarding the hostie during Penny Yin's third mission does it. It feels like it adds 30 minutes to the TF and the entire team failed at its one job.

My most frequent path: Run around and punch stuff from Ms. Liberty to the Hollows. Get to the Hollows around level 4-5. Punch stuff in the Hollows until level 7. Hopefully I hit a rare salvage by this point. Sell salvage and buy level 10 SOs. Head to Perez Park. Buy lucks from the nurse. Punch Hellion bosses until lvl 10. Punch Vahzilok bosses until lvl 12. Punch Lost bosses until lvl 15. (This goes really fast even without the double XP bonus, which I hardly ever use) Teleport to Jim Temblor. Run Faultline. Teleport to Stephanie Peeples. Run Striga. Teleport to Gordon Bower. Run Croatoa. Try and solo the Brickstown prison event just to see where I'm at. Teleport to Levantera. Run Rikti War Zone. Use all those sweet reward merits to buy enhancement converters (until this point I just hit the upgrade button on the SOs when they turn red). Sell enhancement converters. Buy attuned IO sets to softcap defense or hardcap resistance and then Proc out. Crank difficulty as high as possible. Run a long story arc I haven't run recently. Hit 50. Retire if bored. Go full purple / winter Os if not.

So thank you for pointing this out because um.... it looks like I never played Battle Axe after the revamp two updates ago. Wow! Cleave has a 40ft range now?!? Yea this seems to be much more fun!

Did Toggle Man respec so he can run combat jumping and super jump at the same time? I bet that change made Toggle Man super happy.

I have already taken two brutes and two scrappers to 50 with Shield Defense, but my Shield Defense / Battle Axe Tank has been parked at 32 for years. Looking at the secondaries I already have played Tanks with Battle Axe, Broad Sword, Dual Blades, Savage Melee, Staff Fighting, Stone Melee, Street Justice, Super Strength, and War Mace. My Shield Defense Brutes/Scrappers have used Energy Melee and Radiation Melee. What's a good other fun combination for a Shield Defense Tank?

I have a spreadsheet.

I went energy blaster and just changed the color to white... kinda a pure light destroying evil thing.

My biggest want is to replace the team transporter longbow vehicle with this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Action Ken was patrolling the mean streets of Paragon City long before this movie jumped on the Barbie bandwagon.
