Without the limitations of Prestige, you can get creative and go crazy. On Indom, I have five SGs and the only people in them are my own characters (with one exception). I try to give each SG base a different look and feel. It's another aspect of "altitus" for me, I guess.

Looks like we have me, @EmmySky, @TrixieKixx, @socom242... possibly @Enigmatus, possibly @Jaxman100 for the all weapons Miss Liberty tomorrow. I'll be bringing my dude Character Assassin, a Broad Sword/Electric Armor stalker.

I thought this thread would be about Taylor Swift.

If you are currently, or have been in the past, afflicted with Male Face 1, you may be entitled to compensation. Call Attorney Chris Jenkins. Consultation is free.

Awesome! Staff is so much fun! *thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk* I've done MLTF once since Homecoming and I did STF once or twice back on live, so I'm right there with ya on that. We're not doing a "Master of..." or a speed run. We're gonna have fun and stumble through it. I'm sure one or more people on the team will actually know what's going on. As a bonus, Miss Liberty is the WST!

August 8th: all weapons Miss Liberty TF Level 45+ (Miss Liberty's requirement, not mine) If your primary offensive power set is some kind of weapon, I invite you to join in! Broad Sword, Mace, Titan Weapons, Dual Pistols, Beam Rifle, Assault Rifle, Katana, Ninja Blade, Dual Blades, Staff, Claws, Battle Ax, and Archery is what we're looking for. Noon EST on the 8th. I'll start giving a shout out for invitations around 11am. If you holler out here, I'll save you a spot!

It was fun! We had six archers on the team. One brute showed up, and I put it to vote whether or not he can stay on the team. Everyone wanted to stay with the theme, which was super cool - so the brute had to go. With all the debuffs from multiple Trick and Tactical Arrows, Hopkins and Countess Crey went down really fast! Sorry we missed you, Emmy! Is your archer a sentinel? I know you love sentinels. We had two corrs, two blasters, a defender, and an MM. (I think.) I'm mulling over my ideas for next week and will post it tomorrow! Rich

+3000 My characters are too beautiful for me to not be able to solidly see them

I've heard the second Twinshot is actually Maelstrom in disguise. No one else present seems to care there are two Twinshots because he's using a Praetorian device known only as the Praetorian Device. I'm can't comment on the validity of all that, but I will tell you this: I have never seen Maelstrom and Twinshot 2 together. Have you?

Double Twinshots happens to me a lot. I never bothered reporting it because it doesn't mess anything up. You click one, and if she doesn't say anything, you click the other one.

Maybe they're just shooty twins?

Never heard of it. Just thought it was funny. 🙂

Amazingly, I recently got... Hades Sharkhead Size Queen

Fighting eight of yourself at once is a special challenge for sure. I also really enjoy the "RUN!" part at the end of Leonard's penultimate mission. It gives you three minutes to find your way back to the mission entrance while the base is on fire and exploding. Along the way you have an opportunity to stop and help a dying clone. Whether you make it or not, you (everybody on the team) gets the Explosive Finale badge. Back on live, if you didn't make it, you would be ejected from the mission dead. Now it just kicks you out not dead. I can usually make it out with a minute or more still on the clock, even stopping to save my clone's life. If you can keep up with me, you make it out too. But if you get stuck in the twists and turns of the base... And as a fun extra, Recall Friend and the various team teleports are disabled in the mission. I have left a person at the entrance ready to TP everyone to safety only to discover the teleports fail! If you're on Indom and you want company on these arcs, I love them. Holler.

I immediately remade all my old mains from live. I have found, however, I've been having more fun playing new characters. Only two of my old mains have made it back to 50: one was a fluke and the other was redone with a different power set. Maybe it is because the old mains already made it to 50 once back on live. They have nothing to prove on HC.

There is a red side arc in which you fight clones of yourself as well. It also very cool. In Sharkhead, starting at level 20, do Dean MacArthur's arc and then Leonard after that. (If you like badges, you can get Army of Me by fighting eight clones in Leonard's first mission. It can be tough so bring help. Helpers will also get the badge.)

The Family Raid raid in St Martial can also be broken. The second spawn of Longbozos doesn't spawn. It is frustrating.

But... but the generators are worth a badge!

Something a little different. A week or so ago, I ran an all Beam Rifle Synapse TF. Zap the zappers! It was spur-of-the-moment, so there were only four of us, but it was really cool. It got me thinking I want to run themed TFs/SFs more often. So... Starting this Saturday, August 1st, I will be running a TF or SF with a theme every week right here on Indom. I'm looking at noon EST (possibly 1pm if that's preferable). I'll announce in the game an hour before start time for folks who don't use the message boards. If you do use the message boards, please state your intention to play so I can hold a spot for you. Early in the week, I'll announce what we're doing here in this thread so you all have time to consider your options. I hope you will join me! I'm looking to run low stress, high fun, non-speedy, chill TFs/SFs. --- Theme of the Week --- August 1st: all arrows Manticore TF. Archery, Trick Arrow, or Tactical Arrow are one of your sets (or both!) and you are level 30+. I'll be bringing my dude Checkmate, level 42 Archery/Trick Arrow corruptor. August 8th: all weapons Miss Liberty TF. See post below for the details. August 15th, noon EST, blue side: all sentinel Citadel TF. (It rhymes-ish.) Level 25+ August 15th, 2pm EST, red side: all stalker Virgil Tarikoss SF. Level 15+ August 22nd, noon EST, purple side: "bag of Skittles" Lady Gray TF. See post below for details. August 29th, noon EST, blue side: all animal themed Manticore TF. September 5th, noon EST, red side: totally rad Renault SF. September 12th, noon EST. blue side: NuMMina TF. September 19th, noon EST, blue side: THEM! All insect motif Positron 1 and 2. September 26th, noon EST, blue side: Flamin' Ernesto! All fire Ernesto Hessto TF. October 3rd, noon EST, red side: Gloomy Boomy! All darkness Ice Mistral SF October 10th, noon EST, purple side: Apex or Tin Mage October 17th, noon EST, red side: Bird is the Word. Bird motifs Silver Mantis SF October 24th, noon EST, red side: Operatives Report! all VEATs Operative Renault SF October 31st....

I always thought there should be a level 15 or 20 PvP zone that is basically the inside of a multi-floor office building. Red-siders could enter through the sewers while blue-siders coukd enter through roof access via a helicopter drop. The ground floor is occupied by Arachnos and has NPCs, medical, and such. The top floor is a Longbow bastion. There are four or five floors in between as the free-fire zone. Each floor could have "capture points" that can be temporarily occupied like in capture-the-flag scenarios.

I recently made a rad/water defender and was very shocked that I was able to solo two early EBs with him: Veles and Chernobog. Three if you include Morana, but you don't get to finish her off before she flees. Like, they were pretty easy too. Veles was a little bit of a challenge because he came at me while I was still fighting his goons and he set the warehouse on fire and summoned a dead guy. In truth, he almost had me but a green inspiration dropped at the exact moment I needed it most. I actually had Chernobog turn and run. I guess he didn't like basking in Atom's glow.

I'm pretty sure it's set up that way every time. I disregard it. I usually stand behind Maelstrom or to one end of the bad guy row, depending on what sorts of powers I have.

"How about some bone control?" That's what she said.

Doctor Moist is a great name...

I have an illusion controller named Masquerade, and each of his costume slots is one of my other characters. He does not have his own look at all.
