Oops, Ice Leprechaun is a Blaster, not Defender. **Brainiac4** is right about controllers being hard to play solo. Ice Leprechaun was originally going to be a controller but I decided it wasn’t for me. I prefer the types that can solo with little problem. ---

My main, Meggido, has had 140k debt before. Last night I racked up 105k in a few hours and had it all paid off about 2 hours later. Don’t fear the debt, my brothers! ---

Hallows missions are bad. For some reason, the game designers have decided to send you places where you will die getting there. Recommendation - find a higher level teleporter to take you to the door, and hope someone hanging out at the entrance has teleport friend to get you back out. Or don’t take Hallows missions. The nice thing about CoH debt is that you still get XP while in debt, just half as fast. ---

Last night I racked up 105k in a few hours and had it all paid off about 2 hours later. Don’t fear the debt, my brothers! Master Electric is well on his way to getting his third Debt Badge. It’s almost odd. When I’m debt free, I almost feel like I’m leveling too fast. ---

> [@ArrMatey!](#): > > I don’t mean to be negative, but… Dude… If 188 is gonna scare you off, this might not be the game for you. 188 is quite a bit for a level 6. Beside, I meant I gave up trying to get to the _door_. ---

The nice thing about debt, is that you end up with twice the influence you would for any particular level. Oh, and **Lute** , if you want to team up and take a look at some higher level content, send ME a /tell. ---

> [@Pleonast](#): > > I was that Scrapper! > > We were so close; it was the final wave that overpowered us. I guess our damage output wasn’t high enough. Still, I had a lot of fun. And got a enough to debt to last me a while. 😉 I did get Level 27 out of it, and the ‘Tough’ badge. And progress on the Sky Skiff kill-badge. I probably will try the Trial again at L28, when I have fresh new SOs. Until then, I have to recruit some help to get through a bunch of timed missions - since that’s all my contacts will give at the moment. ---

> [@Maus Magill](#): > > Oh, and **Lute** , if you want to team up and take a look at some higher level content, send ME a /tell. Already saw a bit when trying to get to that door. Things that come out of the ground and shotguns that deal 130+ damage!? ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > Until then, I have to recruit some help to get through a bunch of timed missions - since that’s all my contacts will give at the moment. Ooo, me, me! Since we’re about the same level. And I have a CoT mission I need help with (find 16 books or something). I don’t do well against the Negative Energy badguys that debuff my accuracy. I’m typically on 5-7pm PT. ---

So can any Dopers join CECIL? I got COH a month ago and I have three main characters I play ( **Iron Messiah** , level 20 tech blaster;\*\* Dung Beetle Dan\*\*, level 15 science scrapper; and **Nina Vageena** , level 9 tech blaster, who I created just so I could watch someone run around in a bikini and heels and carrying a giant machine gun – gee, for some reason I ended up playing her quite a bit) P.S. How do you change your costume? **Iron Messiah** just got to level 20 and I want to make a few tweaks. ---

Yes I am! See you in Paragon City again soon. **Kaspar Hauser** , all Dopers are welcome. We’re on the Virtue server, although some have alts on other servers. Send a /tell to any member (and mention your SDMB board name) and we will get you invited to the supergroup. Add some of the character names you see listed in this thread to your in-game friends list so you can find us easier. ---

> [@Lute Skywatcher](#): > > Sounds like it. It is limited to characters level 10 or higher, of course. No, you need to be level 10 to _create_ a SG. Any level can be a member, you just need to be invited by someone with that level of authority. Which is pretty much every main in the group for CECIL. 😛 So if you want your various characters to be a member, just send a /tell or join up with the CECIL channel and we will get you into the SG. The only real limit is no more than 4 alts per person in the group at a time. If we actually start to hit the 75 member limit, we will start to lower the number of alts allowed, but that is probably not going to happen any time soon. Lok ---

I’ve got stuff to take care of this week, and games to run - so I won’t be on much until Saturday, myself, unless something changes.
