Ironblade

Okay, but that's 100% due to your personal opinion and preferences. I take every single character to 50. Neither way is 'right' and neither is 'wrong'.

Didn't try it. Chromatic Cat was my first choice. I like the alliteration of the two words.

Sometimes you can clean up without even being an official contestant. I was helping out at a costume contest with the theme being rainbows and I believe the top prize was 500 million inf. I was helping my girlfriend run it so I obviously couldn't win - despite having the best costume. So they announced all the winners and gave them their prizes . . . and then the person bankrolling the contest came over to me and quietly gave me as much as the first place winner got. 🙂 Here's Chromatic Cat with her original costume, made years before the costume contest. Her bio explains that she was involved in a teleporter accident with a cat and a box of crayons.

Totes suspicious - both of them. The post being replied to is from someone promoting a paid service and who had two posts ever. Then the reply promotes a different paid service and is from someone with only a single post ever.

Actually, you can play with more than 3 accounts at once. Text lifted directly from the Code of Conduct: We allow a basic level of multiboxing on the Homecoming servers outside of peak times. These rules apply on a shard-by-shard basis (by ‘shard’ we mean Torchbearer, Excelsior, etc). If there are less than 1500 people logged in to a shard you may play with up to three accounts at once. So you could play 3 accounts on Everlasting while simultaneously playing 3 accounts on Indomitable. Not sure why you would want to try. I have 3 accounts and hardly ever use more than 2.

Could have. Didn't. 😛

Perhaps 'Eye of Judgement' from Captain Nolan - also known as the Dark Astoria Prologue arc. If I recall correctly, it has no combat and is just 3-4 missions of go here, check that out, now go there.

Overall, City of Heroes is the clear winner with about 80% of the total votes cast. 🙂

Touché. 🙂

I'll also endorse this. I currently have one at level 38 that I am building for 'hard mode' task forces. I'll also mention beam rifle/kinetics corruptor. Beam is the highest single-target damage and kinetics lets you boost the entire teams damage (including your own) with Siphon Power and Fulcrum Shift, while Speed Boost is just awesome for pretty much anyone. I made one of these specifically for the Really Hard Way badge runs of The Magisterium.

Frankly, I see this sort of comment a lot in the form of: "Why aren't people doing this thing?" "Why hasn't this been done?" "When is someone going to do something about this?" If you feel strongly about it, do something about it. Personally, I don't think forum threads are going to have a significant impact on the survival of the game.

Behind by 1 now.

OMG I need a shirt that says 'Retired'. Although, to be fair, I have a good answer when people ask, "What do you do?" "Whatever I want. I'm retired."

I see what you did there.

The Candy Keeper in the Ski Chalet says he can sell me the Fir Bolg costume. I bought it and he correctly gave me the Snow Beast costume.

Perhaps, but I saw a staff fighting character named Disgruntled Housewife who had a broom.

Running all the task forces in order? Damn, man, you're a maverick! 😛

When I am recruiting and people ask this, I immediately click their name and hit 'Get Global Name'. That way, I can see who they are when they get back.

Yes, but there are some monsters that are specifically excluded from that requirement. Eochai, Jack In Irons and Lusca come to mind immediately. Also, note that a single hit on ANY monster is enough to get you the merits. It's only the badges that generally require the 10% damage.

There's a lot of ground between 'soloable' and 'faceroll the keyboard easy'. All of that content you mention is absolutely soloable. The new, optional 'hard modes' are designed to be hard but they apply to task forces that most people can't solo anyway.

Actually, the badge requirements are high enough that people generally farm those badges, even on a 'healer'. I have two comments: 1) The character you enjoy playing the most is probably the best choice. Some badges will take a LONG time and require that you play the character A LOT. For example, the badges for earning influence. The last badge is for half a billion inf and selling stuff doesn't count - only kills and mission completion rewards. Also dealing damage, taking damage and debt. All are 'farmable' but it's easier if you get most those badges without trying during the course of normal play. 2) One consideration is that some characters are not great for soloing. As an example, a badger friend back on live, who played a mind/empathy controller asked to team with me for the Ouroboros challenge badges (i.e. no enhancements, enemies buffed, etc) because it was a really tough slog for him and relatively easy for my scrapper. FYI, my main character and only badger is Ironblade, who is broadsword/regen. I made him back in the day because I thought it sounded like a good starter character to learn the game and never looked back. I remade him on Homecoming and he has every badge at this time.

Like others, I'm guessing you meant 'shards'. I only play on Homecoming, but I have Ironblade at level 50 on every shard. I have four characters on Excelsior that I play in regularly scheduled teams and the rest of my characters are on Everlasting.

Go big or go home. I had a dark/dark/dark on live and his name was Dark Lord Darkness. 🙂
