Costume Selection Glitch
I don't even know what that is. Some kind of Rikti something. And, yes, I minimized my chat window, just for the screenshot. No, I don't play with it like that.

Pictures
I haven't posted pictures for a long time, so here's a bunch of random ones.

Random Drop Ship explosion from the Virtue event... well, I'd tell you when, but I can't decipher the dates in the new screenshot format, that I hate.
The Shadow Shard
Jez, listening to Vanguard lecture.
Mo, wondering who "they" are.
VEATs vs. Malta
Silence and Andy after they defeated Hro-whateverhisnameis
My elec/elec brute, Darkened Hex, with her patron and his peeps.
Perez glitch
Looks like it hurt, doesn't it?
This is Pocket D's idea of an appropriate band for the VIP lounge.

No, really. Don't look behind you.

So, I hate the post-AE market. Still. Prices fluctuate too much, for one thing. 1,000 one minute, 100,000 the next. I put in low bids and let things sit. I'm much too impatient for things like this. On the other hand, Fyre's about over 1.5 billion influence. Mostly from merits from raids and TFs, and either saving for expensive recipes, or, lately because I've been bored and it amuses me, doing random rolls and selling whatever I get. The thing is, though, it's a billion, right? But, now, that's just a set and a half of purples or so. I'm glad I bought all of Fyre's purples when they were *coughgigglecough* reasonably priced. I'll wait until she hits two billion, take a screenshot, and then start distributing among alts and such.
Also, even aside from the market, I still despise the AE. I used to PuG a lot. Now, there's practically no such thing. I won't even start a new character, even though I do have an empty slot on Virtue and two characters I'm contemplating deleting. The forums have had lots of threads on the AE and it's impact on the game. My favorites are the threads where people complain about the lack of teaming outside the AE, and/or the poor quality of teammates who leveled up in AE farms, and then get laughed at by people who say it hasn't done anything bad to the game... and then go on to say they only solo or play with their SG.
Aside from my continued, all-encompassing hatred of the AE, I have done some leveling. I have an elec/elec brute I started as an experiment who's now level 43. And, yes, let me say right out, she has leveled some from AE farms. Because sometimes, that's the only thing available, and I get very bored very quickly soloing. There was a KiTTY AE arc, not farm, night that got her several levels, and a couple of farms, and more than a few SFs, including the ITF (ISF? Whatever.) Red-side, it's absolutely impossible to find a "real" team. I've been planning on re-rolling (THERE IS NO ROLLING) Angel Noir, again, as fire/dark instead of dark/dark, but I hate the thought of trying to get her up in level again.
I will say, though, that brute is a lot of fun. Squishy. Very squishy, which at some point I'd like to see if I can help a bit with some sets, but lots of fun. Electric armor's getting a buff in i16, too, a power called Energize will become the new Conserve Power, and it'll have a heal and a regen buff to it. That might help. I'll wait and see before I judge it. I know it exists and I've seen the current numbers, but I'll wait to see how it actually works, and what it is when it finally gets to Live.
I am looking forward to i16. Roxi Toxic (currently level 18 rad/rad defender) will be re-rolled (THERE IS N.. aw, forget it) yet again as a rad/ blaster. Probably rad/fire from what I've been looking at. That's about the 12th incarnation of poor Roxi. Maybe this one will stick. Andromeda Balan, my fire/kin, will have awesome looking imps. Jade Arcana, my energy/energy blaster, will have energy blasts that match her name. Earl, Blaze Noir's Dark Servant, is going to be awesome-looking. And Mo's empathy auras will be... bright pink.
I have no opinion on the "Super Sidekicking" scheme at the moment. I'll wait and see how that works out, though I am curious about it. I think most people are not sure about it yet, but I haven't paid that much attention. I'm much more concerned about all the pretty colors.
Oh, right. The two characters I've been thinking of deleting are dom-Fyre and my PB, Constant Star. Dom Fyre because 1) technically, the character does not exist anymore. Fyre has been LONG gone from the Isles. 2) Doms don't excite me. The damage is kind of meh and the holds are also kind of meh, unless Domination is up. Sure, I could work on a perma-dom, but that takes a lot of planning and a LOT of infamy, and I'm just not that interested. Also, red-side. Still, not my favorite. My Bane's 48, and can easily take over for anything I'd need a high-level red-side character for, not to mention the brute that's coming up.
The PB is level 47, and I haven't even logged her in for over two months. Light Form is awesome. I mean, awesome. Everything else is pretty meh. I cannot imagine anyone ever saying, "You know what this team needs? A Peacebringer." I would much rather play one of my scrappers or a blaster.
However. They're both hanging around, and have been for awhile now, because I dread the idea of leveling something up in AE land.
