Test Server Hijinx

Logged into the Test Server last night for the little event thing they had going on — half to get a look at the new zones, and half to check out how a villain character would play at level 40.

Did up Kethos, rearranging powers based on stuff I’ve noticed in the last few weeks of play with him — rolled him out of the garage and ran a quick newspaper mission. Verah verah nice. Still required some endurance management stuff, even with stamina, due to the way I slotted things, but having -acc in everything and five-slotted Touch of Fear meant his health bar was a loverly shade of green.

Grandville is COOL-looking. I want someone with fly over there, so I can explore, cuz the thing goes straight. up.

Ran over to Recluse’s Victory for a bit. Came across a hero-scrapper with a big sword. Made him cry like a tubby kid who dropped his ice-cream on the sidewalk, then pounded on him until he finally got himself together enough to run — had him down to a third health in that time, and I was untouched.

Took a couple pillboxes for the baddies side — redlined a few times, but never dropped.

Things started to tip in the favor of the Villains pretty heavily, and the Freedom Phalanx sent in reinforcements.

Positron. No one else was around — just me and him and a pillbox he wanted control of.

I got about two hits in, screaming something like “THAT’S FOR THAT STINKING CoT MISSION IN THE FEMA BUILDING, YAH RAT BASTA--”

And then he dropped me. Hard. My dignity requires that I claim it took two shots.

DAMN… I tell you what, I am going to approach Arch-villains and/or Signature Heroes with a LOT of caution when i7 goes live.

Other than that? Lots of cool little improvements. Daddy like.
