Is there a costume option of the head of your character being a brain in a jar, Clockwork King style? I was fiddling around last night and couldn't find one, but I've seen at least one screenshot with that.

It's called Think Tank, but you have to fiddle with it because I think it defaults to an empty jar-helmet full of water. Maybe it's under full helmets or something, I don't remember, but one of my MMs has it. (It's only enabled on Homecoming that I know of though, I know reddit's i24 didn't have it working when I copied my handful of characters over for whenever I feel like trying i24 version of the game.)

Ah, that explains it, I was on Pleiades when I was trying things out, they probably don't have it working yet.

Oh no, I did bots/time, will I be too bored to enjoy the game?

So, with the levelling talk, should I not just be going through my contacts and doing missions for them? Because I did DFB once, then just have been puttering around with my robot buddies, atlas park to king's row to steel canyon. I think I did the 3 radio missions then one bank robbery thing, but I couldn't really figure out how to do the "side quests" in that instance.

I tried one of the first TF's at like level 13 solo (the one where you deal with the lost, don't know the name), and got about two or three missions in before I couldn't do anything. Was debating trying the positron TF (level 18 now, i realize i'm overlevelled for it). As I understand it, TF's are solo-able now? I'm not in a rush to 50, it's just that doing random contact missions is kind of boring. What I remember from playing back in the day is TF's taking 8 hours plus, that's also different now, as I understand?

What everyone else said but with my added $0.02 that you should basically never be soloing unless you have a very specific reason for doing so. Missions, TFs, whatever - doing it with friends or a gaggle of pubbies is waaay higher on the fun-o-meter.

I don't disagree, but sometimes I feel like a five or ten minute or hour break randomly while playing, and that's not really conducive to grouping. I like being able to say I'm done at any point.

Figured out how to get on the Homecoming server (had been on Plieades) and I'm very sad my brain in a jar can't also be smoking a cigar. Or have pushed-up goggles.

Ah, ok. That makes sense. Cause I slotted Knockback and send people flying, which is fun, I just wanted it to happen more often.

I want to see someone slot one of the punches with knockback for maximum knockback, just to see how far you can send a dude flying.

Titan/Elec will make you a walking orgy of destruction, go for it.

Oh, good. I wanted a combo that was OP-ish, just so I can play it badly and still be pretty okay. I got a TW/Electric brute up to around 14 and was thinking it kind of sucked, glad that it picks up before long.

Pick whatever powersets you like, whatever sounds fun. The MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember is that your name must be as punny as possible.

I'm usually asking in goonchat, but if people are ever interested in doing redside strike forces, hit me up. Jarman Ultra. (it's funny because it sounds like a brand of toilet paper).

He can use Power Slide or whatever it's called, but only at walking speed.
