I was running a random solo alt this evenimg — Miss Crackle, a Lvl 11 Elec/Energy Blaster — after karate. There’s something marvelously mindless and non-committal and unstressful about just playing alts and joining PUGs … it doesn’t “matter,” and therefore one can just relax and take things as they come.
I’d about given up on anyone answering the LFT, and was headed to Steel to run the University stuff, when I got a tell inviting me to a team, and picked it up. And had one of those nice experiences that actually makes up for the 60% of PUGs that are mediocre and the 35% that are just plain wrong. The team — two blasters, two scrappers, two defenders — just clicked, and we rolled through various Hollows missions, culminating in running Frostfire. And it was all skittles and beer and occasional OMG we’re all going to die! and successes galore, until …
Freaking “City of Heroes has encountered a problem, so sorry … Verifying Files …” just two mobs away from the FF room
Ah, well. Still fun.
