I enjoy the godmodes on PPs. Gives Benumb's -special some nice uses in PvE, makes ST controls more useful, all-around make debuffs more useful, and lets bosses last more than 2 seconds on steamrolling teams. It can get a little tedious if you're on a mission with dozens of them and nobody on the team has the right tools to keep them from going invincible, but that's rare, in my experience.

As far as electronic music, I can't recommend Fluke highly enough.

Also The Avalanches.

Controller, Tank, Corruptor, Peacebringer. Especially Peacebringer. All of the others, I've gotten to the 30s at least once, but PBs never held my attention for that long. It's like playing a less interesting Warshade.

For Tank, well, I'd rather play Scrapper and Brute. And they have that slump until the mid-20s where most sets have trouble tanking for a team of 8, which usually discourages me. When I've played them in the 30s, I've enjoyed them, but not enough to encourage me to try another any time soon as long as I can pretty much do the same thing but with good damage on Brutes.

For Controller, I've already played most of their sets that I want to play as either a Dominator or Defender, and I like AoE damage enough that most of them just don't do it for me at low levels.

Corruptor's similar to Controller, since I've already played every Corruptor secondary that I like to 50 as a Defender primary. And I'd rather get my debuffs before my blasts, so another point to Defenders. And I prefer to play buff/debuff on teams, which heroside has more of, so another point to Defenders. Now that we can side-swap, I'll probably give Corruptor another try.

Wouldn't it be more of a River City Ransom day?

Oh, wait, I do have one I like even more than Agent of Chaos. Destroyer of Strength is the best badge ever for my debuffers.

Eh, I don't keep all of my characters active.

By level 35 at the latest, I generally have a pretty good idea of whether I really want to take a character all the way to 50... for about 95% of them, I don't really have much motivation to. I stop playing them when leveling becomes a grind, and I might pull them out now and then if there's a TF or something going at their level or I feel like RP'ing them. For a couple of them, they've gotten to big new powers like this and I end up taking them to 50 anyway. For all the rest, they're still pretty safe unless I really need a slot or want to reroll them as something else, in which case they get deleted.

Once a character hits 50, I'm usually pretty bored of them... for about 75% of them I actually usually get bored by the mid-40s, but I tend to push for 50 because I'm a completionist. Once they're at 50, I don't really delete them, but I still only pull them out for a TF or two per year. These are the characters I just pull out when I feel the sudden urge to play their powerset again.

For the most part, I just play whatever character I'm currently trying to level... but there's also that ~1% that both get to 50 and I still enjoy playing at that point. Those guys, I'll try to do a TF or two per month on, or maybe just join some PUGs or farm a little if I'm bored. This is currently about four characters for me: Sorrow-Weave, my Dark/Elec Brute; Liora Kate, my Earth/Fire Dom; Blazeknight, my Fire/Shield Scrapper; and Shatterware, my Rad/Rad Defender.

Oh, I forgot one other in my earlier post--the Operative Renault Strike Force had two missions deleted from it at some point. Other than those (Renault and Positron,) TFs have pretty much gone untouched.

Just don't keep it solely on the already-softcapped Tank like half the empaths I team with and I'm happy.

The vast majority of the TFs haven't really been touched since they were added. The LGTF and ITF should both be pretty much exactly as you remember them, though ITFs in general tend to go more quickly now that most people have the tactics down. The Posi TF was revamped and split into two pieces, but I can't think of anything else that has been changed.

See, I found Rogue vs. Villain to be kinda the opposite. It's often...

Villain: Be really evil!
Rogue: Be kind of evil! And get paid for it!

My personal favorite ending is the last episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG. Spoilers below:















The villain of the season is a manipulative ******* who spends the entire season dodging any legal repercussions for instigating a nuclear war, since very little of it can be definitively traced back to him. He goes as far as to basically mock the heroes a few times by gloating at them without giving anything away or admitting to anything, and is all-around a horrible person. In the final episode, the good guys inform him they finally got a warrant for his arrest, to which he replies that he's exploited a legal loophole to nullify all of the charges against him, and is getting ready to leave the country.

His elevator opens, and inside it is Motoko Kusanagi, who basically informs him that the prime minister has given her authority to kill him if he leaves. He sneers that he doubts it just as she shoots, and there's a super-detailed, wonderfully gory (in a show that usually isn't very bloody, too) close-up of his head being outright shredded by bullets, down to being able to see one of his eyes pop out. It was most friggin' cathartic thing ever after an entire season of trying to hate him to death, and I think I spent about ten minutes just replaying that scene over and over and cackling.
