For the 7th anniversary of CoH, they are running some special Praetorian invasion events for a few weeks. Margie and I hopped on this evening for a couple of hours for the one on Champion.
I got on first, running Torchielle (figuring a blaster would be a worthy addition to an attack from Praetorian Earth), with Margie later jumping on as Amorpha. And, it quickly became clear that the biggest danger to Primal Earth from a Praetorian invasion was a disruption of the time continuum, leading to things moving ever and ever slower …
Yeah, the lag was pretty awful.
After most of the invasion was done, I swapped out to Psi-clone, figuring he deserved some massive SO drops like Torchy had been getting. Unfortunately, the event sort of dragged out to a close, with large intervals of nothing happening leading people to think it was all over. Still, I got some action in with him, too.
And, when all was said and done, I realized I’d missed both those characters — and that both needed some serious attention, as they’re still all-SO, still unrebuilt after veteran travel powers and inherent Fitness.
And, yeah, that means some money, which, fortunately, I can send in bushel-baskets-full from some other characters I’ve actually been paying attention to.
Not looking forward to respeccing Level 50 characters, but it really needs to be done.
That was me about three weeks ago (the character stuff, anyway)!
Once I got my brain on gear, I really enjoyed using Mids to plan my new level 50 builds, without needing the fitness pool. Meant I could grab some nice, bonus powers I had to skip before. I also transferred some cash and decked them out in medium to low cost sets (I’m still not will to spend 400m on one purple enhancement!).
Once done, I ran the incarnate trials a few times, which can be fun for a while, and got some nice abilities from that too.
Unfortunately, I’m now back to the familiar problem of having a character I love, but without much to do.
Oh well. I could always do a BAF trial (again)…
