In that case, next time I join, I'll offer to lead the crack team, ie, 50s who don't need xp, or anyone who wants the badge quickly. The goal will be to finish it under 1 hr or less.
After the Silver M, if there's enough interest, we'll bang out Renault and/or Tarikoss as well. That should give us 66+ merits in 2 hrs.

My team did about the same time, 8 people. Leader was a warshade. 3 death challenge failed at the last mission so prolly around 5-6 deaths since I wasn't tracking it closely.
The other team was about 1 hr, 48 mins.
Also, I was not aware that this was being run for xp. IMHO, it is better to run fast papers for xp. (I'm excluding AE. Why sub for a game to play purposely gimped enemies?)
SFs tend to have more difficult enemies but don't award as much. I did this on Sat. and Sun. for 1 hr. In the same amount of time, the teams could finish Silver Mantis and run 1 or 2 papers for xp.
May I suggest stating in the post that the SF is being run for xp? That way folks know that it is going to take 1.5 to 2 hours and can decide whether to join or not.

Agreed.
If we define a super as someone who can do something that a normal person CAN'T do. Normal people can't fly (even if said fly power is slower than a champion bicyclist, but still IS Flying). Normal people can't freeze someone, etc. So, even if the power is weak, it still qualifies as a super power. Consider a ice hold. For a machine to do the same thing takes a lot of energy and time versus a lvl 1 dom's hold activation time.
As for flying, it's 2010 and we're still using cars instead of personal jetpacks for travel.
Basically, it seems to me, all relative to a certain perspective. If the definition of a super is a level 10 toon being able to solo 50 bad guys at the same time at his level and win, then this game doesn't deliver that. If one has certain ideas of what super is, best to post one's thoughts or complaints in the developer's forum and hope that someone is listening.

LOL! Good pt!

Me neither and I own a N64 Superman game. It's really bad. The game nerfs his superpowers. Heck, a brute with fly can do better.

For villains, you can buy the jetpack in Grandville for only 10k at ANY level, even lvl 1. If you plan on making a new toon, just send yourself 10000, make a new toon and go to Grandville: PO Ferry->Cap Au Diable Ferry->Rogue Isles Ferry->Grandville. If you are level one, I suggest swimming to the ferry instead of running through town. If you don't have enough money, ask nicely and usually someone will give you 10000.
In Grandville, go toward the giant statue and the Jetpack quartermaster is standing in front of it.
FYI, on heroside, the jetpack sold in Pocket D is useless. It lasts 2 mins and is disabled for low level toons.
I have tried several types of Doms, and your powerset is one that didn't work for me. I leveled it to 20 and deleted it.
Have you visited the Dominator forum? Folks have posted many useful guides there.

A lot of RP is on Virtue, but that doesn't mean RPs can't do it on other servers. You can spot an RPer easily when you see their chat which includes (( )) or [ ] :
(( Lv 20 brute lft ))
That means that the player is speaking out of character. Chat without the (( )) means that the player is in character and their speech is tailored to the personality that they are playing. For example, if the player is a pirate, he might say suggest pulling some enemies from a big mob. Usually, a non-RP player would say:
Let's pull.
The pirate player would say:
Arr, me maties, thar be many o' em. What say ye that I throw this here barrel and lure some over? Then we jump em.

I myself have roleplayed as a cybernetic villain (Mastermind with Robots). My powerset includes thermal shields. If I buff you, I will say:
Configuring firewall for <your name>.

If you die, then I can resurrect you:
Initiating reboot for <your name>. Click Accept.

If I self destruct before I level, I will tell the team not to resurrect me:
System restart in a few cycles. Will resume normal operation.

I don't mind if an RPer is on the team. If they're good, the chat is kinda interesting. I care more about that they are able to team well.

If you haven't done so, check out the guide about teaming while on trial accnt on the forums so you can find teams that can invite you.
I'm on Freedom around 8 - 12 pm PST. If you want to play a villain, make a Vill on Freedom, name it Lord BlueMyth. If you're on when I'm online, I can show you around.

WTH? How can he play all of em at the same time? Auto powers?
$15/month x 5 = 75... x 12 months = he's loaded.
NCSOFT must love him.
