Shocktacular

Does that mean you're new to the game, or you've been doing homage costumes and/or using other people's designs until now? (Just curious) Either way, he looks great! I like the way the patterns on the boots and pants blend together, and the cybernetic eye detail.

Here's my entry! Arc ID: 34661 Arc Name: The Christmas Contagion Author: @Shocktacular Number of Missions: 2 Description: A Portal Corp. scientist found a Christmas dimension, and she brought back some amazing eggnog. Turns out it was contaminated with The Christmas Contagion! Now people everywhere are being "Jollified" as the contagion spreads! Can you stop this holiday disease and defeat whoever is behind it?

... I always thought that the color shorthand was because of the colors of the respective loading/login screens....

With Praetorian refugees fleeing to Primal Earth (presumably including some of the Carnival of Light), maybe we could get a "Clash of the Carnivals" TF/SF or something....

I'm with you on this one. I know flight is the slowest travel power, but to me full control of travel in 3 dimensions is worth it.

Ah. That would definitely be a problem.

??? What's the story here?

I usually only turn sprint off if I'm running out of endurance. Which reminds me... If you're running out of endurance all the time, make sure you turn sprint off! It's amazing how much that helps.

I do this, too, but I usually leave the rest for 50 so I can boost them unless I really, really need the set bonuses on that particular character. If I do end up catalyzing them, I usually remove the catalyzed version for a boostable version after hitting 50. Also, wow, up for 12 hours and already on page 2!

As per late-night discussion on Indom, I'm (finally) starting this thread to share CoX mistakes in the hopes that others will learn from them (and that we can at least get a few laughs out of them). Here are a few of mine to get started: Don't put Self Destruct next to your "panic button" power. Fortunately I was soloing when I learned this the hard way, but I've had friends do it in groups sometimes.... Yeah, not my proudest moment. Hitting Secondary Mutation in the middle of a fight is a HUGE gamble. I swear, I'm at least 5 times as likely to get monkeyed if I do this than if I wait until after the mob's down. Don't use Enhancement Catalysts on purple (very rare) IOs or PvP IOs. This only keeps you from being able to use boosters on them. The set bonuses will stay with you even when you exemp down, so just boost them instead. What have YOU learned the hard way?

Well... my immediate reaction, based on the name, is "pig costume". Make of that what you will.

Dad's an engineer. I watched a LOT of Bill Nye. I've always liked science and been good at math. Somewhat socially awkward (I don't always "read" people very well). Tendency to notice and comment on things that many other people don't notice and/or don't care about. Star Trek!!!!!! Star Wars, too. I'm STILL bitter about not being able to get the original cut of the original trilogy on disk 😠 Usually one of the "smart one"s in school. Loved that intro to physics class in community college. Ended up as an astrophysics major. I'll probably have a career as an astronomy and physics professor at a community college somewhere. Mostly, though, my brain WON'T SHUT UP! Getting to sleep tends to be fairly difficult most nights...

Hah! Got 'em! Thanks so much to Glacier Peak (and PrimeFiya and Web Chambers, who helped!).

ready anytime

I have class today that won't be over until 3:15 PST, but I can come after that.

Hey Glacier, when do you want to do Round 2?

Calling it for now (too many enemy players). Got all of 'em except Penny and Libby, who just would NOT spawn! We must've spawned 10 hero pairs and didn't get them once!

anyone know what voodoo magic i need to do to get ms. lib and penny to spawn?

I had class, but I'm done now, so anytime! Did you want to start out as heroes or as villains?

😞

Thanks! Also, in case anyone's wondering, we're going to have to postpone until friday due to RL scheduling conflicts.

I'm talking about the ones that make you one level higher.

Any suggestions for Incarnate ability slotting? I was thinking Diamagnetic Radial Interface for the -regen. Also, do the Ultimate inspirations work in RV?

Yeah, I was doing some AFK farming for the last "dmg taken" badge. Wednesday sounds good. I probably won't be on until after 3pm PST though because I have class. I've been e-mailing myself some big inspirations (and a few supers) to have ready for this. I also plan to buy ALL teh buffs at my base beforehand.

Maybe we can meet up and work on this together! I'm on Indomitable server. Which server are you on? (also, I'm in California, so... time zones)
