Too much playtime

[jdotmi]

I've been playing City of Heroes way too much apparently. I've been avoiding the test server since my main is a /Regen scrapper and I am therefore annoyed. But it's all good, a huge amount of levelling has happened on Live.

Kung Ru has hit SL40 on Pinnacle. New Costume, New Contacts, Dead Hydra. Hopefully soon to be Dead Terra, but I so can't solo her and I've not yet found a team to help me out. :-p

Hidden Justice flew through two levels in one day and is now SL20 on Virtue. Cape: CHECK! Costume 2: CHECK! Nice gift of influence from the Signficant Other so that all of my red level 15 enhancements could be brought up to level 20: CHECK! x_x She levelled too fast. Very little debt. Bad bad bad enhancements. Luckily, the main two Kinetic powers (Transfustion and Siphon Power) and her Leadership powers stayed white as I managed to buy enhancements for them before they went red.

I've tossed some new screenshots up on ScrapBook to show off the goodies.


Kung Ru is on Pinnacle and pretty much always LFT now when I play her. AV missions appear to be the norm, and I already hate the Carnival of Shadows with a burning passion. She's got the Terra mission (level 40 AV, got mission at 39) and she's finishing a two-part Carnie mission. I can nab the Psychic Clockwork King mission in the blink of an eye. Okay, in a Super Jump or three, but still.

Hidden Justice is on Virtue and is currently wanting to do the Synapse Task Force. I would also not be opposed to Exemplaring to do the Positron Task Force, but I understand that that Task Force blows chunks, but, hey, I want to actually do them for once. The only TF I've ever done is Numina with Kung Ru. My Global Chat handle is, surprise surprise, @jdotmi

Emplaring the Positron TF is a big mistake. IMO, it's a big mistake on any TF, but especially Positron. That TF can take up to about 7 hours (depending on team size). Keep in mind that, if your aspirant leaves the team for any reason (quits team, disconnects, logs off) the exemplar will be booted from the TF. Just imagine slogging through 6.5 hours of a TF and getting booted in the last mission. That'd suck. I had that problem with the Sister Psyche TF. My main, Dr Freefall, exemped to do the TF with a group of lower level SG-mates. About 2/3 of the way through, his aspirant got disconnected. Next thing I knew, I was seeing the Talos Island load screen. It was seriously irritating.

Remember also that the team can log off during a TF and come back and finish it later (though you can't get other missions until you finish). If an exemplar is part of the team, you won't be able to do that.

I am well aware that the Positron TF is the longest and most difficult. I've also read all about the problems with Exemplars getting booted. I don't care. I still want to do the TF, if only to eventually get the accolade from the TFs. If I get booted mid TF, oh well. I'll start it over. More influence to buy my SOs with.

Heh, good attitude. Though as far as I know, there isn't an "all TFs" accolade. People kept speculating that there would be, but last I heard there's no proof of it existing. :)

Good point. I kept thinking that Freedom Phalanx Reserve required it, but it's not. :-p I'm silly like that.

Done! But you already knew that.
