City of Heroes Character Update
Heading to bed as I finish this. Early end to a gaming evening for me, but feeling rather a bit under the weather and just tired of hearing the verbal abuse over the Coalition line.
Energy/Energy blaster is still 50. In a team to do the first Shard TF right now and just coming on as needed to do the four-people required missions so basically isn't doing anything else until that is done.
Invul/Energy tanker still needs a respec and is still 21. Need to get on and hit 22 and get SOs and respec it.
Ice/Ice blaster is still half-way through 25. Had a long fun bit of RP during the week, but hasn't done much else recently with it.
AR/Dev blaster actually finally hit 12. Been so long since it had leveled up, forgot what I was going to take for its next power. Thinking sniper rifle though since I think I can take that at 12.
Kinetics/Lightning defender is still rather neglected and at either 15 or 16. Haven't thought to look lately. Need to run it through the Synapse TF and level it up or something.
Warshade is still 12 and neglected. Respec'd it to work a bit better solo, but just haven't felt inspired to play it.
Peacebringer is under two bubbles from 18 and Incandescent Strike. That will be great to finally get. Still thinking about using its free respec to get rid of Assault and pick up either the cone attack or Build-Up instead. Also got the first firefighter badge with it, Volunteer Firefighter, this week. Though an attempt in a team to farm a mission for the Gearsmasher badge went poorly. Got the badge, but we got beat up pretty harshly in the process. Lot more little gears were popping out and attacking us then I at least was expecting.
Sonic/sonic defender is 9th and almost 10th. 10th will be either the first sonic bubble power ( the smash / lethal / toxic one ) or Assault which is a heck of a lot better for a defender then a kheldian. Still really a blast to play, the damage resistance debuff on its attacks is just brutal.
Cold medicine is sending me to bed now. Write more in morning when coherency returns with luck.

Respeced both Puck and Zazi...happy with both.
Went with Doyce's advice and slotted Zazi like a blaster. This was good advice.
Just checking how she worked out now, I took on 6 +3 Rikti. Easily took them on and defeated them before end dropped. Health never went below the 3/4 mark.
Puck can solo unyealding missions now. This is completely unheard of and scary for me. I think I love i5...
...oh...forums are down again...
So...a good job all in all on the respecing

Also....dude...get healthy, ok.

Yeah, no sickiness! Feel better.
And controllers totally rock in I5.

Just after I had given up all hope of ever being able to make a controller that might interest me, you tell me that they are solo'able now... *sighs dramatically* Oh well...
And grr. Bad forums. Bad.

Well…for the most part, Grav controllers went from the second worst controller type to being the best controller type with i5.
-Now that containment is there, you do double damage to held opponents.
-Grav’s always only had one pet, so no great loss there.
-The Grav’s Pet is the best in the game since the AI rocks (stay within 20’ of controller, attack anything within range, attack until one of the two dies, return to controller.). It has all of the single attack powers of the Grav controller.
-So…with double damage containment, a pet that holds, and anything that I attack that is held by either Puck or Minime takes double damage. I feel like a really slow Blaster…that for the most part doesn’t get attacked.
Now if you go with an other secondary other then bubbles….you should be good.

Yes, leave the bubbles to me and Puck!

My last attempt at a controller, a Grav/Storm one, died again in the tutorial a few days before I5 came out. That was very much user-error though. I misjudged how big Gale was and aggro'd a LOT of that big hill in the tutorial map and just got slapped down.
It was somewhat amusing to try to Lift things into the air and Gale them away while they were still in the air though. Never worked, but had me laughing for a bit.
I can tell you that the tutorial hospital is the 'Riviera Medical Center' though if that ever comes up as a trivia question.

You know...it has been very entertaining to see the sheer variety of error messages today with the Forum.
Even more fun then gale...
Shooting baddies to the elevation ceiling and watching them hit the ground dazed and confused. Grav controller fireworks. :)

Wow...now the entire site is gone gooey kablooey...

I remember when Alessandra first showed me that trick ages back with her Grav/FF, she was always trying to lift them up as high as she could and then Force Bolt them across the map.
I can't even get the domain name to come up now. My net connection has been awful all day, but this just takes the cake. I can't even tell if there still is a problem.
Grr. Arrgh.

The site is currently down because the main hosting facility in LA is currently without power and has, in fact, been evacuated and emergency services aren't letting people back into the building yet.
Finally got through on their phone support number. Had been wondering why the call queue was so tied up. Apparently 90% of their clients are hosted there and without sites right now.
Mon Sept 12, 02:09:00 pm GMT-7
Bood news: The hosting site is back online.
Bad news: Still hosed and error messaged.
Mon Sept 12, 04:08:00 pm GMT-7
So....feeling better yet?
Tue Sept 13, 09:43:00 am GMT-7
I am still somewhat messed up. Feeling better, actually hungry this morning. Going to try to avoid cold medicine today if I can since I don't want to have another day escape from me in a drug-laden stupor.
Going to phone the hosting support number again in a few minutes and hope I am not so stuffy that I am unclear as I yell at them again.
Tue Sept 13, 10:13:00 am GMT-7
Still no reply back from them by email, and their tech support line is so flooded I actually got a busy instead of the automated message system. Blegh.
Tue Sept 13, 10:56:00 am GMT-7
Forums are up, but we lost 5 days. I'd call it six, but they were down all yesterday already so that day didn't really count. Gyah. Damned utility workers in LA. Damned person maliciously harassing the site. Hate hate hate hate hate.
