I was beginning to wonder if I was being cursed for the last couple of months but then I got 4 purple drops in the last week or so. All on Justice. YMMV.

The all _______ TF/SF?
a) nub
b) TO
c) emp "I only heal"
d) catgurl
e) Petless MM

kitty, did you manage to find some decent players to give you a hand ingame?

Was the hiccup just Justice or did it affect all the west coast servers?

Looks like the new message markers are cookie based versus account based? It seems like when I use another computer to look at unread posts it doesn't mark the ones viewed from another computer as being already read?

Hey Nord how come you don't show dupe buffs by numeric instead of stacked?

Thanks for the tip. I've had lots of crashing like that (usually after a TF) and at WW. I'll see if it fixes the issue for me.

Edit: So far it seems to fix the issue as stated by the OP.

This is a good starting point for information regarding global channels.

http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Global_Chat_Channel (This entire website is gold, don't forget it).

Making global friends will be an important way to finding decent companions on Justice.

A second way is to join a super group that has a decently active base. You may find better initial support in joining a big super group, but some may simply force you into grinding for prestige.

If it wasn't very clear to you by the other posts, you can complete missions solo by running scanner missions and other tasks. At the low levels, there isn't much differentiation yet between the different archetypes, unless you've made a pure support toon.

However, it does sound like you are looking to find some people to help you through the massive learning curve that this game has managed to build on over 5 years and 15 issues. I've found the tutorials cursory and documentation pretty lacking.

If you have any questions, you can contact me ingame @pumbumbler, same as my forum name. I will try to help you out if I can, but I'm a jaded cynic and I tend to do task forces, which lock me out from inviting new team mates while running them (and have level restrictions too).

IOW, I'm a pretty crappy gfriend to have but if I'm your only gfriend, well, I'm your best gfriend.

And welcome to Justice.

PS. I was going to make a list of good websites for you until I got lazy and googled for someone else's hard work to steal.

This is what I found.

I think those times are time force challenge times which did not count the security chief mission due to the randomization of finding the key introducing too much variability within the competition. FWIW, our regular group which doesn't optimize in team builds regularly does it in about 35-40 min without doing anything special. If everyone brought out their shiny toons and didn't bring their 45 for xp I suppose we might break the 30 min mark including all the missions.
