I actually petitioned one guy whose name was -Green Arrow, and looked JUST like Green Arrow. I am pretty loose about such things in general, but that was too much.
BTW, I tried sonics and the acc is VERY low. You will miss at least half the time without any enhancements, and still miss a good bit with them. OTOH, it does good damage and lowers defenses. I was playing as a defender, btw.
I really have to learn some patience. I seem to re-signup RIGHT before they offer the free ‘check it out now old players!’ deals. And I never like it, so it’s 15$ for 5 days of play for me anyways… :/
Yeah, free is something I can swing. I’ll come back and check things out. Kinda miss flying around a city. Download is going to take 35+ minutes I’ve been gone so long.
I took out my old flying martial artist on Virtue for a spin but got bored real fast. Then I made a new archer. Scarlet Will’s the name. Not sure what server I stuck him on though. It was fun but I doubt there’s much to hold me. Seemed like more of the same and they still haven’t added more chest symbols yet. How hard could that be? And, of course, all the folks on my friends list are no longer around anyhow.
What the fuck where they thinking when they made the graphics for the sonic control set? Rapidly flashing circles that keep moving around the screen in an epileptic’s nightmare.
Yeah, I’m not too keen on those effects. I’m not sure how to represent a shield of sound around someone, but they couldn’t have done much worse.
In other news, some friends and I have played through several missions with various AT’s on Heroic with very little trouble. We’re used to playing most of the time pre-I5 on Unyielding or Rugged and the xp bump seems to make up for the difficulty drop. We’ll probably take it up a notch and see how we do. My level 26 ice tanker has held up pretty well so far and the lower defense hasn’t really been an issue. He can get himself into trouble a lot easier than before, but it doesn’t seem at all unreasonable.
What are people’s global chat handles? Mine is “@Xemu”.
I haven’t tried the new ATs yet but the XP boost is a welcome addition, and just in general I’d kind of forgotten how fun this game is. I’ve been playing a mix of characters from the low single digits to the low 20s and having a blast with them all.
Just to put it out there, does anyone still have the War Wall Defense mission available or coming up on the Virtue server?
I pretty much quit in disgust a few months ago after nearly finishing it and crashing, which meant I had to restart it. This time, for some reason, mobile teams of Rikti spawned right away and RAN to all three generators. I’m not talking about the static Rikti that look like they are beating on the generators, I mean additional pairs of Rikti that were actively attacking them.
This didn’t happen the first time I played it through, and I’d saved all three generators fairly easily. I was just collecting the last couple of hostages when I crashed. If I’d realized what was happening in time, I would have quit the mission and restarted to reset it. As it was, I failed it without even seeing the final generator, and just as I arrived at the second one.
Anyway, Hackjob, my 32 Stone/Invulnerability Tanker needs to do the mission for the badge, but I’ll be out of town this weekend. If you can help out next week or in the future, feel free to drop me a PM.
