I read somewhere that their attacks are poison based and there is no specific addition defense for poison (yet). If that is correct, it seems that your damage mitigating powers are worthless against them.
Yeah, those are the guys that did me in. I think they have some DOT attack that Invulnerability can’t block.
I ran into The Tick the other day (he was even yelling “Spoooon” on the broadcast channel :rolleyes: ).
I ran across two Hulks last night.
Does anyone know if you can remove a PC from the server, and then create another with the same name?
Mausmagill, yes, you can delete a character and then immediately make a replacement character with the same name. I was worried it wouldn’t work, so had alternate names ready, but I didn’t need them.
Yes, I’ve done it repeatedly because I’m anal-retentive.
Also: someone told me that the names must be unique throughout the game, not just on a single server. I haven’t experimented to see if this is the case.
Hopefully I can get home before midnight sometime soon and actually have time to play again…
What time do you guys play? I didn’t see anyone on last night (I was on late) or today.
Nope, name uniqueness is per server. I have the same name on a couple of servers, and on some others, I did not get to it first.
Oh, and I need to get promoted in C.E.C.I.L. – I’m still an Ignorant Sheep. One of you seniors want to let me into the Inner Circle?
I’'ve been playing from 8PM-1AM Pacific. I’ll play very little today, and a lot tomorrow, but I think you were one of the people I forgot to look for. See you soon.

Just type “/friend Silver” (for example, don’t type the quotes) in the chat window - then you’ll get a notification whenever that character is online.
You forgot Wizard in Green on your list.
By the way, the 1st thing I thought about “Wizard in Green” was Mike Jittlov
Brian
humming the theme…
Correction to the list of heroes (and myself). My Level 10 (finally!) blaster’s name is actually spelled Clevlnd Steamer (no A in the first word) which makes a huge difference.
Also I too am unable to get Steamer decked out in team colors. He shows up in blue and white with the globe insignia in the preview, but in actual gameplay, he’s still his normal, though beautiful, golden color.
And I can’t GET the globe off of Max Carnage’s chest.
During beta, the sidekick level spread was 5 levels, but it is now at 3. The only other requirement is that the hero doing the sidekicking be at least level 10.
I picked up my teleport self power a few days ago and it is a blast zipping around the city at superspeed (it is only 100 yds a pop, but there is no recycle time so you can cross really quickly). The only downside is that it sucks up endurance, so I’ve added the appropriate enhancement to it. I also hope to increase the range on it so that I can go further. You can teleport yourself into the air while doing this so that you can avoid some obstacles and see where you want to go.
The other nice thing about teleport is that you can zip yourself to where you want to be, and then recall your team in. This is a great time saver/life saver when you have a mission in the middle of Perez park or Boomtown.
My other character is Lift Lass, but she’s only level 5. I’ve been concentrating on La Pucelle.
I have to say, compared to my beta fire-gadgets blaster, playing a scrapper at 11th level is a lot harder, but I die much less. On the other hand, I could take out entire ranks of Skulls in one shot.
Vhaz are bears to deal with, but that’s when I went for Super Reflexes as a scrapper power group. Face it, if they don’t hit you, it doesn’t hurt. Their ranged attacks aren’t Lethal or Stun, they’re DartGun, so… yeah. Goes right through most protection.
For those having trouble with your Supergroup costumes: you do realize there is a Supergroup Mode On/Off button? It’s in the Super menu. I was having a lot of trouble until I found that toggle.
To add to the Supergroup list, I also play the Theory. And I tend to be online from at least from 5-6pm pacific time, plus or minus an hour or so either way.
I usually don’t get on until 9 or 10 Eastern and usually only stay on until 11 or 11:30; my game time is kind of limited.
I did get Deus X up to 8th level last night. Picked up Elemental Resistance so hopefully I can survive those flamethrower encounters a bit better.
Oh yeah, sturmhauke, I did get your tell last night but I was in the middle of a battle at the time and couldn’t respond. I tried replying when I was clear but apparently you were already gone by then. Sorry.
I work until 11 PM Eastern, so I don’t get on until about a quarter after.
Blue Justice is not on Virtue, he is on Guardian. I made him there before I saw this thread. Then I couldn’t get the name on Virtue. 
Pretty good last night, once we got Steppin’ Razor to stop running away from the healers. 
I made it to less than 200 xp before 11th.
Sorry I dropped on you guys last night, some moron was trying to hit port 8000 on my firewall and I lagged, then dropped.
That’s ok, I was bugging you with a bunch of n00b questions anyway. I’ll be on today again, except for a couple hours in the evening when I go to my martial arts class, where my powers are not nearly so super.
