Crisis Zones

Started my day by working on the Vibora Bay Crisis, it is pretty awesome. You get to pound on Vampires, Werewolves, Evil Angels and Voodoo Priests. It has one of the scariest areas for me though. This is the edge of the abyss and if you fall, you fallllllllllll and then you die. It's funny, I am afraid of heights even in an online game!! Vlork keeps inching toward 40. He's 38 right now and I just totally respec'd him. I have no idea why I did it, he was fine on his own but I start reading through the forums about these uber-builds and feel the need to try them out. Champions Online gives you respec tokens pretty often so it doesn't cost much to change your entire build. It's a good thing they do too! I have a few characters that I made for 'flavor' instead of effectiveness and they needed LOTS of work. My next project is to get into PVP. The Super Group (All-Stars) is really into PVP and I want to be able to get in on the action. Next came the Monster Island Crisis!! It was one of those rare days when Schmoopy tore himself away from Star Trek Online and played with me. We had a great time, we fought, we died, we laughed and he even leveled Drake Star (his most hated character that he's spent so much time on that he can't give her up!).

I so love the Monster Island Crisis!!!! Sidekicked up with the Schmoopy and took on the big boys! The fight between the two of them is so epic and then you get to take a serum and get big and throw down too!! This toon is Skrug, she has powers that make her big to begin with so when I take the serum, I get HUGE! It gives me a giggle... Plus she is a brute so there is no finesse to her fighting style, she just wades in and makes things die.

Spent some time grinding Vibora Bay with Sai. I love this zone too because it makes me think of New Orleans. (Right down to the saxophone player on the corner, under the balcony!) I grind the zone for the costume pieces that drop. Some people sell the stuff but I am so into the costumes I just can't stand to part with them. I live for the day that the 'butt-cape' drops off one of the Vampire mobs!!

Note to the devs - the crypts in Vibora Bay are way to huge to not have back doors out once you finish the mission!!!!

Above is Madame Giggles. She is Middea's Nemesis and Middea finished her first Nemesis mission (with a bit of help!) and it went pretty well. Schmoopy's character Cajun helped me out because I couldn't solo it. This is the first toon I've ever had that I couldn't solo it with. She is sorcery and just not good at crowd control yet. I hope that changes with a couple of levels because I really like playing her. I just have to use her as more of a dps, support character. So now it's 1:40 am and I'm resisting the urge to pull an allnighter and log on Spyborg to grind some more for crafted travel power mats... I WILL get that tier two Storm Rider travel power!!! See you online!
