    Last time one of my characters "worked the block", the PPD got involved. Learned there are certain things a Hero ID doesn't cover you for...

     

    Exchange it for a Rogue i.d.  You can freely work the blocks there...or perhaps hit the big time with Ms. Jones's team at the Giza.  :)

  2. My most recent, Valley Squirrel...

    I should change her i.d. to San Dimas Institute, since she learned they kept her on the payroll and now has a nice little nest egg to live off of in the future (she managed to contact them and family back in the past after she woke up in the future to let them know she was okay.  Had to do it from Cimerora for best signal.  But those roman charges were horrendous...)

    *Personally, I can't see not wanting to join the league, getting you your badges and whatnot faster, but maybe some folks have their own personal reasons.

     

    Discovered recently, after coming back from a mapservering, that even when not on the league, I was still getting XP.  Turned out my Leadership toggles were making it so.

  4. On the ToT league Valley Squirrel was on yesterday, when the leader announced they were going to do some GM hunting for us, they at least advised closing our "You cannot enter" popups if we wanted to join in when the monsters were found.

  5. Yeah.  I figured that was also a major contributing factor.  Heck, just to get it over and done with, I would be more than happy to run that one (and Faathim) at -1

     

    Surprisingly, the Moore I was on a couple nights ago actually went pretty fast, thanks to a generous amount of team transports and Assemble the Teams and such.

    +1 for me. I rarely go into PVP zones, but if I do it's 95% to grab the badges and plaques and skeedaddle out of the zone and 5% me remembering that Shivan summons exist. 

     

    My only forays into PvP zones is in the course of getting all the day jobs.  Then I just stay at the base (away from the Black Helicopter) until the day job is done.

  7. Just spent about an hour failing to get a QF task force on Roc and Roll (No way am I going to try to run one of those myself, having never done it before that I can recall.  Was barely able to keep up on the Sara Moore I lucked into a couple days ago)  Taking a 420 and reading break out on the porch then will try again.

  8. For a new player, I advise experiencing the content on the way up.  There are plenty of great old story arcs and one off missions to experience, and other than story arcs and badge missions, there are a lot that you can't flashback (some that award various temp powers as well).  Plus, with story arcs, running them as they become available has the advantage of not limiting your teaming options as you progress (flashbacks lock you into TF mode, meaning once started, you can add others to the team)

     

    I am actually running several characters that have not taken any double experience at all, some to hit various arcs and other missions as they level, and a couple others hitting all the TFs or SFs on the way up.  Roc and Roll just hit 41, and is the one hitting all the TFs.  He just did Market Crash, and now to get caught up, needs Hannon, Quarterfield, and Moore.  I am hoping I get those knocked out before the L44 TFs come up.  Been trying for days to get a Hannon, and no luck whatsoever (don't have it unlocked myself)  Going to try again after this little late 4:20 break...

    I wonder how many of the AFK's are multiboxes of someone who is actually participating on their other account?

     

    I wonder how many people would want to do one of these if the ground rule was " one AFK multi per participant', and leeching was considered ok within that limit?

     

    Ugh, can't imagine trying to multibox myself.

     

    I do like how on Everlasting (so far, only ever seen it on MSRs, especially instanced ones) the League leader will set the ground rules in advance, effectively, everyone fights; nobody leeches.  If you have to go AFK, say so.

     

    For ToT leagues, the team leaders are told they can go ahead and boot obvious AFKers if need be.

     

    All in all, should be the league lead's rules whether AFKers should be booted or allowed to leech.  All leagues I've been on have been pretty good and everyone just has fun, with plenty of on and off topic banter in the mix.

     

    The Rat City hosted MSR that just finished was a blast, by the way.  Need to finally get my own Macarena Mouse into that group soon(tm)

    There's a repeating joke that villains will say when you get in range, something like this:

     

    Villain: "...and then he says, 'Aren't you a little old to be believing in leprechauns?' Then I threw him out the window! Hah! I love that one!"

     

    I'm pretty sure I've seen variations where the line about leprechauns is swapped out for something else, but I haven't been able to document it as of yet.

     

    I remember hearing a BP mask in a radio mission in Faultline pop off with that one back on Live.  When I asked about it on the forums, I was informed that it was from a dirty joke, and then the discussion became what I call the Punchlines thread.

     

    Even Matt Miller, Posi himself chimed in to say how much he was loving that thread.  Sadly, can't find it anywhere archived on the 'net nowadays.

    As a Travel Power, Super Speed is adequate.  Especially with the Stealth and with Speed Phase.

     

     

    But do be aware. There is NO powerset, in the entire game, that is ever going to make you really feel like Quicksilver.  

     

    To quote my own Speedster, Johnny Faster (formerly Generic78882354 until he removed his middle name, Fokker, from his registration), "I'm trying!  I'm trying!"
