Reroll Night

[City of Heroes] Last night was reroll night. We all logged into the game and started chatting some. My brother (scrapper) did not like the choices he made and wanted to start over since we were still rather low level. Inhibit and I thought that the two of us (controller and defender) did not make a very good duo for the times when my brother was not playing. So we all rerolled.

I now have a fire/fire tanker, my brother went with a ma/regen scrapper and Inhibit has an empathy/radiation defender. So far it seems like a much more solid group.

Still, three nights in a row we all managed to log in. That must be some kind of record.

Interesting Tech Support

Saw this on the World of Warcraft tech support forum:

We addressed an issue that was preventing players on a select number of realms from logging into the game correctly. However, if you are still experiencing problems logging into your realm, we want to provide you with a quick and easy work-around.

First, open your config.wtf (located at the default, or where you chose to install the game C:\Program Files\WorldofWarcraft\WTF) with the Windows Notepad, and delete the “realmname” entry that appears. Once you have done so, please log into the game again, this time choosing a realm that is separate from the one that was giving you trouble. At this point you should be successfully connected and will be free to select your realm which previously appeared inaccessible. While it may not fix your problem the first time, please keep trying, choosing different realms in place of your old one each time.

I don’t even know what to say about a fix like that.

Super Day 2

[City of Heroes] Our static group has completed day two of the grand plan. We spent about 2 hours each night for the last two nights. Day one left us at level 4 and day two left us at level 6. Actually, my brother is level 7 because he did some solo crime fighting before I got online.

Mostly there is no plan during fights as we are still trying to get comfortable with our powers and when to use them. Nobody has died yet but we came close a few times in the Hollows last night when we took on groups of 10 or 12 bad guys at once. Having the defender heals has helped a lot as well as my group heal to fill in the gaps.

Only problem so far is that when I hit level 6 I took the wrong power. I made two templates for my character; one solo and one group. I looked at the solo sheet last night instead of the group sheet. So now I need to change the order of my level 8 and 10 powers to get back on track. I will be back to where I should be by level 10 so it was not too big of a mistake.
