I was definitely seeing a lot of lag last night and I dc'ed twice over the course of the evening, but I was still able to do 3 BAF and 1 Lambda successfully.

It sounds like it got even worse this morning, so I hope today's downtime will fix some of this.

One of the biggest problems I see with the LFG feature is it starts trials with minimum number of people, 8-9 for Lambda and 14 for BAF. IMHO these trials are just not doable with the minimum number on most PUG's at this time. Once everyone has figured out how they work it will get easier. Give it a month or two and you will see someone brag about soloing one of them.

Did you check that you were willing to join trials already started? I check that and generally don't wait very long.

I haven't logged in today yet, that was last night.

Any additional body types would be nice, but at this point probably won't happen since they would have to make new animations for every power for each new body type. There would also be issues with costume parts.

I would love to see some new types though.

I have never had problems with Romans when I use my SM/SA and I went for +recharge and +run speed as well. I remember doing well against them when I just had SO's a long time ago.

Make sure you have rooted going as that is where most of your DDR comes from.

I have an alpha slotted elec/ea stalker I will have to try out on the trials this weekend.

My Warmace/Energy Aura Brute because he is STRONG and PRETTY!

...and after I spent close to a billion inf on IO's he is pretty darn tough now also.

I ran this last night also and it was very nice to see a window over looking Talos. I even stood around a few minutes looking out of it thinking how great it was.

Mortimer Kal SF turned out to be a very fun run that I will do again. I haven't run the new hero one yet, but I hope it is just as good.

If you are on a team and experience lag just ask other team mates if they are getting lag also. If everybody is it is probably server side. Most of the time you will find that very few are having any problems. I know I rarely experience any lag since I have 8 gig of ram and run my video settings below max.

I am showing 6 slots to redeem, but I am missing 6 slots that I had unlocked last night. They definitely have a problem here.

8 Brutes, 2 Tanks, 1 Stalker, an an Ill/Rad Controller

I believe things would die very very quickly as all those Brutes fight to steal aggro from each other.

I leveled one of these to 50 a long time ago and fought endurance problems on him for a long time. I slotted IO's for +recovery then added energy mastery when it became available and this made it manageable. When the Alpha slot came out I went with Cardiac and now my endurance bar never ever moves even when I spam Dark Regen. I am thinking now I can go back and maybe switch either my IO's or APP.

Currently my Bots/Storm MM is just a blast to play and I laugh every time I cause utter chaos as the mobs die. It is just so much fun to open every fight with tornado!

If I had to pick an AT though it would be Brutes. I have taken 8 of them to 50 with several more on the way.

I hadn't even looked at that one. Power Blast/Energy Torrent would definitely add to the chaos I already cause and if I can fit in Explosive blast that would be even better. After all whats a little more knockback, teams already complain about the amount I do now. Whats funny is that when I hear someone complain nobody is dying or even getting hurt very much because none of the mobs can even attack while they are being thrown around.

I hit 40 on my first MM last night, he is a Bots/Storm. I am wondering on what to take for APP/PPP. Should I embrace the chaos I cause and go with Fire for Bonfire/Fireball or take Mace Mastery for Web Envelope/Scorpion Shield. I pretty much let my bots do all the damage right now and just through in Tonado/Lightning Storm when they are up.

1. I would like to see the whole world opened up to Villains and Heroes. In comics they don't live in separate worlds, but interact in the settings. There should also be contacts for both in every zone where you see the story from both sides though I think they should avoid open world PvP. That just invites too much ganking.

2. I would also like to see the Shadow Shard redone and take the overly long Task Forces and break them up into story arcs. Here again this should be open to both sides, but not co-op. There is more than enough story here to show it from both sides.

3. Add player housing that is not an individual super group base and make buying it use Inf., not some new currency.

I haven't leveled a character to 40 since the APP's have been available, but I plan on taking Mace Mastery on my 38 Bane when I get there. I also have a MM about to hit 40 but just haven't decided what to take with him yet.

I ran Tin Mage Saturday with my EM/Elec Brute and had no worries in the whole task force till we got to her. She one shotted me as I rushed in to grab aggro. I just had to laugh about it though. Silly me forgot how hard she hits and Elec is not the best against lethal.

I started on the villain side and I still prefer playing there. In my opinion the content there is much better then on blue side and I just like the overall flow of red side over blue. As far as being treated as a lackey, that doesn't bother me in the least since after all these years I don't read the text anymore.

I believe purples can be purchased with Hero or Villain alignment merits. Check there but I believe they are also very expensive that way also.

I take Hasten on my characters that benefit greatly from a lot of recharge. The three that come to mind are my SM/SA Brute, Ill/Rad Controller and my Elec/FA Brute. Of all my characters those are the only three that have it.

Lambda sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
