Quick **diku** , go on vacation somewhere without COH access, so it can be released onto Test!

Freakin’ shoulder kittens require it.

I’m not an anime fan, so most of the new costume options aren’t that exciting to me. However, I am glad that there will be jackets and vests, which I’ve always wished for.

I also think we need tall boots for men, and long gloves for both sexes.

Yes, I am looking forward to the new Jacket options. Master Electric needs now threads, man.

Wings would be cool too, but I suppose that’s asking for too much.

Wings are coming, as part of the Avilian archetype, to be seen around, eh, I6 or 8-ish.

I ordered my copy of CoH yesterday. My power supply for my new computer should be in by next Tuesday. I’m going to Philly to pick up my new baby next weekend. March 21 I should be up and running.

I’d love to create a team from scratch on any server, just about any AT - I’m going to make at least one of each eventually. I do have a soft spot for Illusion/Empathy controller though.

While Master Electric is still my favorite (31 elec/elec blaster), there is something to be said about standing in the middle of a bunch of blues and watching them slowly burn to death^Warrest. (Soren Surt - 11 fire/fire tank)

Congrats on the new system. As previously noted, the largest grouping of Dopers is on Virtue (at least, the largest we know of).

I currently have one active character of each archetype\*, after having experimented a fair amount. That’s not nearly enough to capture the variety, of course, as even within the ATs there’s a lot of variation, but for now it’ll have to do.

\*Of the basic 5, since I do not have a level 50 and have not unlocked the Kheldian ATs.

I got a new system a couple months back pretty much so I could play CoH. What is CECIL in need of and I shall promptly create a new charachter on virtue. I have had alot of fun with **Arctic Storms** L11 Ice/Storm Conroller on Justice. The arctic wind power makes me VERY popular for missions.

Woohoo! I made a character on the Virtue server.

Some players and I decided we would test an all-defender teamup and chose Virtue to do it. So far our group of five has

- kinetic/energy
- dark/dark
- radiation/radiation
- empathy-radiation
- force field/radiation

They’re all around level 4-5 right now. This teamup works great.

We went a little farther and created an all-controller group up to level 2, just for grins. This is on Victory.

Then we made an all-tanker group (up to level 2 again) on Protector.

And for our all melee-blaster group, a high-damage group which is also sure to die a lot, we chose the Infinity server (because that’s how long it’ll take us to level with all that debt).

CECIL needs whatever you want to play. If you want to recreate your Ice/Storm controller, that would be cool – I don’t think we have one of those.

No rad/\* defenders? You should add one – they team up great. There’s an all-rad SG called Buffer Overrun on one of the servers that hammers through missions – taking down AVs in 45 seconds. Stacking 8 Accelerate Metabolisms gets you near the damage cap without enhancements, plus endurance regeneration and recharge reduction.

What’s your character’s name? CECIL is still recruiting.

Look at number 3 on the list. And you consider yourself a Brainiac. Brainiacs 1-3 are all weeping in their graves, and 5 will disown you whenever he is birthed.

_Jim Beam_ has two AVs ready for the taking. I’d like to go with at least 3 but up to 8. Only caveat is that JB is level 38 and most of the mobs generated will be level 40/41. So, for everyone below 38 who wants to come, I need someone in the 38-40 range.

_Blue Genesis_ is also set to go against Dr. Vahzilok. Mission, other than the good Doctor, should be a cakewalk. _BG_ got the mission when he was level 16 and has since leveled to 18, thanks to a successful Positron Task Force. I’m willing to do this one with only one other, provided the one is a damage-dealer. Larger groups, however, are still invited. Good way to get some low alts some XP. _BG_ is also closing in on the ollows’ Caverns mission, and will need a big group for that one, so let me know who in the 15-20 range would be available and would like in on the mission.

I’d like to do one AV per night and finish all three by Friday. Caverns of Transcendence or however that word is spelled will probably be next week.

Always happy to help out fellow CECILians. I desperately want the Cavern of Transcendance badge with Shadow Stranger, but the Exemplar system just isn’t persistent enough to risk it, I think. Sup R-HRO might be able to hlep out Blue Genesis with Dr. Vahz, though.
