Humph… well, the manual lies then. Anyway, I’ll be on tonight with M. Marie should anyone want to look me up. I’ve a few other started on Virtue, but I’d better pick a main or I’ll just have 300 lvl 4 characters. Besides, if I see any more Contaminanted Sluggers, my eyes are going to bleed.

I might be needing more help tonight, I’ve got a happy door mission in Perez. Skull/Hellion base. Level 13.

I’ll be on later tonight (after 10 PM EST), currently level 8 (Levinworth is the name, in case you don’t want to go back to the other page to look.)

Message me and I’d be happy to join C.E.C.I.L. Currently I’m fighting the Thorns, just got done a big bout with the Clockwork, which is good, cause I worked them into my history and want to fight them a lot, but currently I can’t get any missions with them, just Throns and Hellions right now.

> I’m kind of stuck, though. I took a mission from Prince something-or-other, and I had to bust up four labs in a building with Skulls in it. The probelm? There were only three labs in the building. I have searched all over, every inch, and there is NO fourth lab, so I can’t finish the mission. I have searhced about ten times, left the building, went back in searched again, but no fourth lab.

I’m stuck in a similar spot. I’m supposed to destroy four labs and defeat “Marrow Drinker”, a Skull boss. Well, I can find all of the labs (and destroy three) but I can’t take down the boss! I got the mission when I was level 8. Right now I’m 11 and _still_ can’t beat him. The guy keeps healing himself and has a negative energy drain that heals him even more (while injuring me). I usually run out of endurance, run out of inspirations and wake up in the hospital. Frustrating.

Yes and yes. When I hit level 10 my level-up message told me that I could now start a Supergroup and how to do so. But you can join one at any level.

What time were you all on last night? I’ve taken my friends list from **Spurious George** ’s post of 5/5. Is that list still accurrate?

I joined a team last night for the first time, and promply ignored the first rule for a blaster in a team. **Don’t. Rush. The bad guys.** I ended up in the hospital. Several teammates were wondering where I had gone to as I’m sprinting through Atlas Park trying to get back.

I have PSP 8 and I am also having problems with the screenshots. 1 of them shows up okay, the others all read as corrupted. Don’t know why.

There’s starting to be a lot of us, and my friends list is maxxed out. Are we getting to the point where we need a webpage with a list of members and alts? Any suggestions?

We could just continue to use this thread, and have someone post an updated list occasionally. Any volunteers?

I’ll volunteer my web space (which I’m not using) if someone wants to put together a list of members/whatever else.

If I knew anything about HTML I’d be all over it. As it is my members pictures pages was done on Easy Designer from AOL so I dind’t have to know anything.

But we definitely need a page of action shots, profile pix, sdmb-to-CoH name translator…

I’ve done the “destroy 4 labs” mission with Marrow Drinker three times now. I don’t think it’s bugged, I just think it’s needlessly hard. There’s always at least one lab hidden away in an evil little back corner behind a huge stack of crates. You literally need to scale the crates and drop down into a crevice to get to it.

It’s doubly annoying because the first couple of labs are just sitting out in plain sight, waiting for you to come disable them.

I had a similar mission, only with some guy named Bonebreaker or something back on Champion with my blaster. First off, he conned orange but fought like a mofo. I could usually take a solo orange no problem, but he kept breaking through my fire ring and using dark powers to beat the ever livin’ snot out of me. I wound up putting it on the back burner and going back two levels later where I just barely defeated him as a white con, and that was after using most of my inspirations.

Then, to add insult to injury, the 4th lab could not be found. Anywhere. I finally located it wedged between a bunch of crates only by using Hover and going over the entire floor plan from above. Had I tried it when I got the mission (pre-Hover), I never would have located it in a million years.

[QUOTE=Mausmagill]  
What time were you all on last night?

[QUOTE]  
I was part of the team from 8:00pm to 9:00pm central last night. It was going before I got there and after I left. I signed on again for a while around midnight central. The group was done, but there were at least three people playing lower level characters solo. I’m guessing any of us would have taken a partner. I didn’t ask simply because I didn’t expect to be on long and then I got tied up in a longer than expected sewer mission.

I have to say that I do like being able to sign on for an hour and accomplish something. Most MMORPGs still need a good chunk of time at any sitting to get anything done.

I can look into doing a webpage. Let’s hear some more ideas for features, people!

I know html coding fairly well, so I can help with that.

I also waded through this thread and compiled the following database. Everyone who has posted in this thread is listed. Every character on the Virtue server is listed. Additional information about each character is shown, if known. If you want to add or correct info, either post in this thread or send an email to [Emerald\_Blade\_CoH@yahoo.com](mailto:Emerald_Blade_CoH@yahoo.com).(I’ve made it systematic so I can easily write a python script to generate a html page.)

The missing fields on M. Marie are Type: Magic and Primary: Invulnrability.

My other “main” is Agent Aphid: Mutant Tanker, Spines, Regeneration

Bah… Aphid’s a scrapper, not a tanker. As if the Spines/Regen thing wasn’t a give away 😃

Minor rant: I’m sick of seeing the same warehouses. Same floor plans, same decorations. Even the “abandoned” ones are exactly the same as the clean ones, except the stuff is broken and dirty. :dubious:

The webpage sounds cool. Minor corrections: Admiral Chill is a mutant blaster, and Cicada Lass was lame so I deleted that character.

I usually run out of endurance, run out of inspirations and wake up in the hospital. Frustrating.

I tried that one twice and went through the same thing. Finally I went back out around town and just took random battles against guys who conned white to me. Whenever I got an inspiration that wasn’t +damage or +health, I used it immediately so that the next guys I killed – err, “arrested” – would drop the inspirations I needed. Eventually I ended up with 4+ health, 2 +damage, and 2 +endurance. I went back to the warehouse (to find that all the minions had re-spawned), took out the minions, and saved the labs for later. I went around to where the boss was hanging out, then drew out his last remaining minion with a ranged attack so I could get the boss alone. Finally went up against the boss, and ended up using all my inspirations but just kept wailing on the guy, and he finally went down.

Would’ve been much easier with a team with a healer. I’m also pretty sure that I went back to the store and bought a bunch of lvl10 damage enhancements and put one in all my attacks. If you need assistance (or a sidekick), msg **Admiral Chill** in game and I can see if I’m any help.

You can scratch Nashville Kat off that list too. He sucked. I was just playing around with defenders. My goal is to hav eone of each architype so I can whip out a character as needed for a team so far I’ve got

Max Carnage - science tanker  
Clevlnd Steamer - tech blaster  
Mutha Nature - magic controller  
Box Car - natural scrapper (think Snake Eyes 🙂 )

I guess that means I need to create a mutant controller to round out my lineup.
