It almost defies belief that Hildy and Torchy are at 31.
Or, for that matter, that Lynn is at the same level, and only a couple of pips from 32.
I remember Lynn struggling with Council in Steel. I remember Torchy being stuck at 22 or so for the longest time.
It’s also weird to think that both are about to supplant Velvet as my second-highest character.
And plenty of folks in the wings, waiting to take over …
On that note, I started playing a new alt (ha!), Chained Path, She’s a Mind/Kin controller, something I picked up after reading a very cool Controller guide that Margie had printed (URL to follow some time).
So far so good with her — the control with her is pretty awesome, and I like the look and story of the character.
Was my first time since the I7 neighborhood redesign running around Atlas, though. A couple of notes:
- Seemed to be a lot fewer mobs of mooks around the edges of the Green Zone.
- The mobs are of more varying sizes, and, in some cases, made it very difficult to get from Point A to Point B without engaging in combat>
- I was surprised that my third mish (a chain from the first, talk to someone for the second, who sends you off to the third) was way the hell off in the Red Zone of AP. Like, “Gah! Purples! Lots of Purple mobs!” far. I ended up doing a lot of roof-crawling.
- There’s a lot of nice, new, funny dialog both there and in Galaxy. There are also some fun groups (like a Tourist taking pictures of a couple of Longbow agents). (And wouldn’t it be cool if civilians interacted more with you — running up and asking to take a picture, coming over and telling you about some Hellions causing trouble, etc?)
CP is designed for soloing. We’ll see how long my interest is maintained.
Mind/Kin Controllers are quite fun. I was impressed with how well mine did.
So far (not far, to be sure), so fun.
And, to add to the “what?!” theme above, I’m amazed that Ho Ho and Princess Peep both dinged 24 last night.
