Marshal_General

Honestly, I just want to look at the old costume thread to see how it compares to now.

Yeah, I try to have a clue before I create the character. I look for builds and guides, plan my version of it and often post it on the forum for advice before I touch pavement in Atlas

One day I am going to create an alt named, I Blame the Forums.

To me a signature character is the one that comes to mind when you think of an AT. For me, when I think of scrappers, it is Lady All-Star, my NRG/INV scrapper that I wanted during live but couldn't have. My defender and only defender so far is Doctor Mechanus who used to be my robot MM during live. I can't seem to come up with another defender concept.

Team usefulness is more about the secondary than what type of MM you bring. My Ninja/Kin MM is useful because I am a Kinetic crack dealer.

I think the reason defenders are rare is that people look at the power list and around half the powers only work in a group and not on themself.

I have come to the conclusion that one of the reasons I have Altitist and pages of non 50s, is that I am trying to find my Signature Character for each AT. I have my scrapper, defender and peace bringer, but for one reason or another don't have one for the other ATs. One reason is that non of my super strength concepts are based on a rage monster who periodically becomes weak. Does anyone else try for their Signature Character to the point you are creating characters over and over hoping to find that one for that AT?

I used to have a costume that recreated the fairy pet you can summon so that I could summon a mini me.

I haven't gotten there yet with that character. I have Acute Altitist. Pray for me!

I wonder if most of the bad PUGs is from people sitting in a farm until 50 with no idea how to play their character, run missions or actually do things with a group?

I want minions that can trap foes in an invisible box, slow them down with an invisible wind, and so forth. Yes I wanna be a Mastermime.

Wat chu talking bout Willis?

I tell people the trick that if you only rescue 3 of the heroes and then clear all around the door and steps, you don't trigger the ambush until you come back after the fourth guy.

CoV has the advantage of most mission chains are generally contained to the zone the contact is in. CoV also has some stellar stories like Oh Wretched Man. The downside is that the zones can be a PITA without flight.

If you actually slot it, but I generally just put the winter io unique in my travel power.

To prevent deaths on the run I was on with my Ninja MM, I warned people to let me handle my simulacrum as we all know, only a ninja can kill a ninja.

Realistically we wouldn't be able to get Carnies or BP as they are too tightly controlled by mind control or magic. The snakes could work. I don't remember if they were controlled by Stheno, but since we killed Stheno who I think stayed dead (I seem to remember talk of Stheno being an Incarnate) it might work.

I just tried it with a level 21 and it turned blue at 92.5, but if I remember right it goes up as I level.

I am going to put off getting Smoke Flash for right now. I am going to watch the ninja's attack rhythm to get an idea how many attacks will actually fit in that 3 second window. Right now it looks like I will be lucky if every ninja gets one attack in. Most likely not ever ninja will get their attack in. Right now they do a ranged attack, a few seconds go by and then they run in for melee. I can see them missing the crit window.

If you have a set that has a power like Quickness, you can reach SS speeds by running sprint and one of the free run powers. Speed boost from Kinetics can definitely do it.

My cop character, Minimum Force, uses her all purpose standard battle cry for everyone. "Halt! You are in violation of being stupid in a No Stupid Zone."

Since I feel we level a bit too fast, I generally run at basic difficulty.

First of all, I don't go into a TF or mission trying to finish it before I started. If it takes longer or has a few deaths, I just keep trucking as long as the rest of the team does. I have been in a few Positions that for one reason or another, we hit a wall and bounced several times, but we kept going and finished. I know this goes against modern societal thought, but not everything is a tragedy.

I was just wondering yesterday how the skulls get their power. You fight in the arena and if you live you become a Bone Daddy or Death Doll, but where do they then get darkness powers?

Am I the only one who looks at the Freak show tank I just downed and yells, "Get your ass up, I need the badge!"?
