Last night, I had problems in my CoH play:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I let myself get pulled into a mission just as I was heading off to bed — resulting in serious lateness of beddy-bye (and failure of alarm this morning to get me up on time).\n
  2. The mission (Kill Dr. Vazhilok) was too high of a level for Velvet Jones (at 13), but since Lee, some other Phalanxers, and, eventually, Doyce were getting hooked in, and there were offers of Sidekicking and Exemplaring, I figured, what the heck.\n
  3. I got almost no XP for stuff, except, to be sure, a 300XP\/300INFL mission success bonus at the end. That seems to have been because, even SKed, there was an 8-level difference between my character (the lightest weight, SKed to 16) and the highest (24). Leastways, that’s how it was explained to me.
    \nWe tried a couple of different configs of SKing. In some cases, the Mortificators and Abominations and Murk Eidolons were all green and grey (and went down with one blow for no XP), and in the final config they were all red and purple (but still were surprisingly hittable and fragile, though still with no XP).
    \nIt was, however, fun. And I got a keen Enhancement I can’t use yet, but it has all the crinkly stuff around the edge that means its a DO or SO. Xenon something or another that can enhance my damage (always a good thing).<\/p>\n
  4. Group Invisibility is a wonderful thing, but, esp. combined with bubbles and a bunch of other combatants, it is almost frelling impossible to tell WTF is going on, or what you’re hitting, etc.\n
  5. We killed the Good Doctor, but decided to clear his chamber in order to take a group pic for the FP. That’s when things went horribly, horribly wrong, starting with my suddenly getting whaled upon by three red Mortificators, who quickly took me down, down, down. I spent the rest of that battle exchanging quips with the equally dead Lee (which is never, to be sure, a dull passtime).\n
  6. I had just Awakened myself, was stagging to my feet — and the cable modem service died. Or, at least, the cable modem started doing this cannot-find-data blinkenlights <\/em>routine. And it wasn’t just a few seconds, but at least 15 minutes before we gave up and went to bed (Margie was being “kind” enough to stay up with me while she played with her new scrapper, Amorpha).
    \nSo, after all that, no group pic. At least for me. Adventure Interruptus. Rrg.<\/ol>\n

    Damnably enough, with all that, I still had fun (and got to wear my nice new FP duds for the mish). Go fig.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
