  1. No, you can only acquire one patron outside of ouro. Also there's no way I'm aware of to keep the mission after the boss is killed so you can't really have a dedicated toon for it like you can with e.g. anti-matter or siege. The way I'd usually get them for helping is to jump on with a lowbie when someone else announces they're doing quatrexin (or his equivalent in other arcs) then zip through or auto-complete up to that mission when that toon is high enough level and save it. It then gets marked as having it available on the almighty spreadsheet for when someone asks.

    This makes for an even more brutal contrast within CoT, as their earlier units have access to some of the most potent defense debuffs ingame: location-based, autohit, coupled with slows. Nasty stuff! To go from that to nothing at all makes quite the difference.

     

    I'm definitely with you on the weirdness of the contrast in strength levels. I just don't mind continuing to live with the quirkiness of it, especially given how widespread they are. Just think about how many TFs and arcs would be altered if they were buffed. Imagine the squishie corpses trying to kill vines on a pug MLTF or the added misery to whichever of the shard TFs has all the circle. 

    And maybe the low level ones are all the security and muscle the high level ones summoned and we finally worked our way up to the suits 😄

  3. I think it's nice having options. You've got your cakewalk with council and your tougher options with arachnos, malta and carnies. CoT are a bit tougher than council and have more bosses. So they're the xp sweet spot for the high 40's. I'd routinely solo their papers when leveling a toon if no one was around to run something with.

  4. Ugh don't even mention an Ambush Bug movie as a joke. Was bad enough he got what miniseries he got in the comicals. Was ok as a guest appearance to annoy main characters here and there but the solo stuff is really painful.  Same could be said of Lobo really, but he's at least good in the cartoons.

     

    I'd love if Larfleeze showed up somewhere but it sounds like the Lanterns show is a limited scope detective show. 

     

    As far as the butts on seats/streams question - that's a toughy, as they seem to be banking on people wanting a DC MCU and having faith in Gunn to do it. But it seems like he's already trying to bring in analogs of stuff that wouldn't have worked were the MCU not already well established. And really as much MCU weariness as there is now it's not clear either bet is a particularly good one. Whatever is first out of the gate better be leagues better than Gunn's Suicide Squad. About all I can say for it other than 'meh' is it was way better than the other one and at least we got the Peacemaker show out of it. And of course there's the problem of the first movies out of the gate being things he's inherited. Blue Beetle's the only one I'm not actively dreading of the top row of that poster.

    Also, other than John Stewart and Supergirl his entire slate of main heroes are straight white men. So much for any kind of progressive diversity like Marvel.
     

     

    Midnighter and Apollo are lovers in the comics. I'm not familiar with the rest of the Authority but presumably they're not all going to be cis white dudes. And I'd imagine the Amazon show will have the Bana-Mighdall Amazons and Nubia somewhere, plus y'know, no men. I highly doubt they're going to stick a whole rebooted universe out there with completely tone-deaf casting. 

  6. I shudder at Booster for dad joke reasons. I shudder at Brave & Bold cuz Damien and the whole thing about Morrison's Batman run being a 'favorite' (Keep Morrison on the weird niche stuff he's good at and out of the main books. For my money Batman never really recovered from that run.), but at least it's not a full series.

     

    Glad to see Waller as she's probably my favorite comical booklet character and i like Davis's version. Lanterns, Authority and Paradise also sound interesting. The rest I could take or leave. 

  7. I expect them to fluff until the last 2 episodes.

    Resistance was painful. I think they thought they could get away with mostly fluff then some actual plot movement toward the end of the season. That's not going to work in the sequel movie era setting. I'm glad it failed though, as a success might've hampered their mad dash to distance themselves from the sequel fever dreams.
