Or you could just create a disposable toon on any server needed. It literally takes seconds (i.e. under a minute) to create a toon. Back in the day of the prestige grant / SG padding, I created over 600.

Right.


Wrong. The OP specifically said it's a defeat badge. Only characters present when the enemy is defeated will get the badge.

Robert Cringely thinks Intel is going to buy nVidia.

No, this is what I was talking about with the AI change. This USED TO work. But now, any gladiators set to passive will ignore the setting and attack and kill any enemy that damages them. This will end the match.

I saw Nosferatu cry for his momma - right after I dropped a Shivan and hit it with Fortitude, Adrenalin Boost and Regeneration Aura - while running all three Leadership toggles.

I really quite enjoyed seeing him getting beaten like a rented mule.

THIS!
I have a fire/thermal corruptor whose costumes are all red and black. What is this GREEN STUFF????

I've only changed the colors on 3 toons:
1) The one mentioned above.
2) An invuln/EM tank whose 'pink pom-poms' are now white to match his costumes. First costume is green+white, next is red+white, then blue+white and gold+white.
3) I have an earth/rad named Agent Pitchblende who wears black & grey. His stone powers are all back and grey except the rock dude - he uses the lava theme to look like black stone with green molten parts to match the radiation power colors. I've gotten several compliments on that one item. (FYI, pitchblende is uranium ore.)

Generally, I don't change the colors because I've built the bio and/or costume around the colors we had for years and I'm used to each character having certain colors. NEW characters will be more customized.

Okay, that's you. Under no circumstances do I ever wait until 50 to IO a toon (excluding ones that were already 50 when IO's were introduced). And I NEVER EVER IO with level 50 IO's (excluding purples and IO's in powers that I got at level 47+).

I exemp a lot and slot IO's accordingly.

P.S. It's not for PvP, either.

On the other hand, some of us exemp a lot and NEVER slot the IO's at max level. Unless, of course, it's a set that tops out at 35 or less.

Wow, you're pretty ornery for a guinea pig dressed in LAVENDER!

Forget all of that. It no longer applies. Gladiator AI was changed. Do what Netminder said.

A hero can get a maximum of 4 fillers on the team after getting 3 Wardens (yes, you want 3). A villain can get 5 fillers due to having access to cheaper gladiators.

You need someone on the opposing team in order to have an arena match. They must have at least 1 gladiator on their team or the match instantly ends.

To increase rate of progress: get more players with their own gladiators on your team. Twice as many gladiators = twice as much healing. Are you by any chance on Infinity? I do this on a regular basis to earn the healing badges for SG's that can't get them on their own. I've earned the badges for 24 SG's so far. (If anyone has an SG on Infinity in that situation, PM me. )

NOT a useful guideline. "The Redemption of Alexander" is a 3 mission arc and it does *NOT* count for the challenge badges because it is a 'badge mission' (Redeemer badge).

My favorite was BAB asking, "Did you just use the phrase 'casual player' and 'purple out my warshade' in the same sentence?"

So I would finally have a use for that animated GIF that says "Downloading the internet...."?

Hate joo!

No no no! Unlike most of the wuss enemies, he's actually a CHALLENGE. Does that mean some people can't solo him? Yes, it does. Especially a defender. Having said that, it is most certainly possible. I've soloed him on a scrapper, tank and defender so far. An empathy defender.

But we really REALLY don't want him nerfed.

1) A lot of them are worthless, or nearly worthless, anyway.
2) Some people collect them. Unused temporary powers are just as useful (useless) as non-accolade badges.

I recently got my 54 month badge (4-1/2 yrs). I can't guess how long between me starting this game and doing the trial for the first time; months certainly.

As I read that, I heard it in the voice of David Attenborough.

I did not. I got it from a hero defeating a villain.

It's possible. While I said that I had a spreadsheet for my character, I went through the OP's powers on a piece of paper. I looked up the set bonuses and came up with 168% (sans Numina) but I could have made an error.

The numbers still don't seem right to me, but I'm not digging that paper out of the trash AGAIN.
