It was great fun, and gratz on the new fiddy!

I'll just go ahead and request that this is kept up indefinitely. It's very nice being able to move a character over to participate in an event, then move it back to home server.

Sign me up with Physics Lass, please!

Is Omega Watch connected to the Malta Group?

Doc Brown's Personal Flux Capacitor Suit allowed Marty to visit the past, where to his surprise they hadn't finished building the Hill Valley Luge Track.

From twitter account:

Earthquake! Looks like half the people in the office didn't even notice. I guess they were too busy with GR to notice the cubes shaking
- Dark Watcher, January 7

So as of this month, GR was being worked on. [sarcasm]I'm sure this will end the consipiracy theories[/sarcasm].

Doesn't Positron typically give a "State of the Game" message at the beginning of the year? That's kind of what I've been looking for.

1. Fulcrum Shift (Kinetics). Giving it makes you feel powerful. Receiving it makes you powerful. It's aptly named, because no other single power in the game, IMO, so quickly shifts a battle to your favor than Fulcrum Shift.

2. Fearsome Stare (Dark Miasma). Make just about anything in the game stop and cower before you with a glance. Incredibly wide cone, it's also a great To-Hit Debuff.

3. Knockout Blow (Super Strength). Up until I got this power I had been disappointed with Super Strength, but this one power makes it all good. First there's the wind-up... I'm sure DPS fiends hate the wind-up, but it's some awesome in it's Popeye-cheesiness that I can't imagine something faster. Then there's the knock-up... knock-up, knock-down, and yes even knock-back are all great at making a power feel, well, powerful. Then there's the Extreme damage.

4. Rain Of Arrows (Archery). Just a beautiful power. I love the delay between the end of the animation and the falling of the arrows onto the target area... just long enough for you to fire off another attack to have them both hit simultaneously.

5. Tar Patch (Dark Miasma). It's a -Res, -Def, -Speed patch. It looks spooky, it looks... er, tarry. If Dark Miasma just had this and Fearsome Stare, it would be a great set. Dark/* Defenders are some of the best controllers in the game.

6. Speed Boost (Kinetics). It's not news for anyone, but SB is a Stone Tanker's best friend, my fun factor playing a Stone Tank tripled when she started regularly teaming with a Kin. Necessary? No, but if you love steamrolling maps (and I do, I do), then Speed Boost has to be one of the Best. Powers. Ever.

7. Venom Grenade (Arachnos Soldier). Sweet, sweet -Res. Arachnos Soldier gets one of the best power combos in the game... Venom Grenade --> Heavy Burst --> Frag Grenade = dead spawn.

9. Shield Charge (Shield Defense). OK, I admit, I don't have a character with this power (yet). But I love watching it in action.

9. Spectrol Terror (Illusion Control). What makes this power is the howling sound effect that comes up when you spawn it. When I first got this power on my Illusion Controller back in the old days, I popped into the mob and freaked my teammates out.

10. Disruption Field (Sonic Resonance). Very simple... target a melee ally. Turn this on. Watch them (and any ally near them) pwn.

Honerable mention: Seismic Smash (Stone Melee), Phantom Army (Illusion Control), Lightning Storm (Storm Summoning), Propel (Gravity Control), Shockwave (Claws), Crowd Control (War Mace), Chilling Embrace (Ice Armor), Parry (Broadsword), Rise To the Challenge (Willpower), Shadow Maul (Dark Melee), Force Bubble (Force Fields), Fire Ball (Fire Blast), Fortitude (Empathy), Full Auto/Heavy Burst (Assault Rifle/Arachnos Soldier), Mind Link (Widow Teamwork), Fire Imps (Fire Control), Rage (Super Strength).

Least Fun:

Stamina (Fitness Pool), Barrage (Energy Melee), any of the heal auras.

I haven't gotten my 60-month badge, which should have awarded back on January 2. I put in a support ticket yesterday.

Agreed, very sad.

From COH_OCR Twitter feed:

Mothership arrival: imminent. Puny human beings' expectations: incorrect. Rejoice: spies and scouts. You have: done well.end of transmission

Yeah, hanging around and hoping for an invite usually won't work, even on the "high-pop" servers most of the time, no matter what your AT.

As Hyperstrike says, definitely go and find out what the main global channels are for your server.

Any blaster that allows you to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and listen to the lamentations of their women is a fun blaster.

I enjoy Fire/Fire and Archery/Devices. Two completely different blaster experiences.

Well, I'm afraid I have to back out. In-laws invited over without me knowing about it, I'm afraid (grumble, grumble, grumble).
