Not that my internet was down (it wasn't) but my newsgroup access was.

If anybody ever looked at my sig before and again now they'd see a few
characters have levelled a bit. Fury is closing on 50 (my first 50 on the
villain side) while Lemon Tree and Dr Akagi have both broken into the 40s.

There's something about levelling in CoV compared to CoH. Fury didn't have
half the problem levelling through her 40s that Vorlonagent had. She's
cruised through her levels. She spent a lot of time helping friends do
missions who were +3 and +4 levels over her. That helped a lot, but it
doesn't seem like the whole story. Even now when I have Fury at only 1
difficulty level above minimum, she's earning a fine amount of experience,
pulling down bubblles 8 and 9 of level 49 tonight after about 4 hours play.
She teamed with a single friend but is still levelling faster...and with
less bridging than VA resorted to. She logged about a level and a half of
bridging going from 47 to 48 but I decided I didn't want to do any more
because I didn't want the ride to end too fast so I have refused at least
one bridging offer. VA had times where he had a freind along, too, but it
always seemed more of a struggle to get the next bubble. Fury's just
breezing to 50 like it's no sweat.

As of this writing, she has 309,047 to go before level 50.

Asa BTW, tt is so worth unlocking the TV. The missions are a lot of fun and
a little creepy at times. Whoever wrote them was had a whole lot of fun
doing it.

Um... What is unlocking the TV? At least in this context? I have only
played a couple lowbie CoV characters, a healer mastermind, a blaster
hero gone psycho, and a Animatronic bear mastermind that escaped a
theme park when his new AI chip malfunctioned.

At least in the lower levels I haven't seen much distiction that makes
it look like you are a villian versus a relabled hero grinding out the
same mission stacks. Just snakes instead of gang bangers.

Mercy Island is like that. In fact Mercy Island is far more one-note than
Atlas or Galaxy. Standard policy for my villains is "Get off Mercy as quick
as possible!" Usually when I've finished Kalinda or Burke's arc, I'm big
enough to get newspaper missions in Port Oaks. Port has a greater variety
of stuff to fight and an interesting contact called "the radio". It's a
boombox sitting on a car in a parking lot where the disc jockey on the radio
talks to you and sends you on missions. Finishing a mission arc often means
the contact will send you to the Radio.

When/if you get around to your 40s and Grandville there's a contact like the
Radio: Television. It's a spot in some slums in Grandville where there's a
TV sitting out in the middle of the street. There's some people watching
it, a Freak Tank, a Canie Ring Mistriss and a few others. You can't fight
them. They're watching TV. At the moment, there's some kind of art bug
where the TV is invisible. If you get around to the same viewing angle that
the other people have, you can see a screen full of static hovering in the
air. You can still click on it (from any angle) and get missions.

Nobody gives you the TV as a contact. You unlock it by getting one of
Grandville's exploration badges. CoV has several on lockable contacts. Most
of the higher level zones have at least one such contact. How tounlock them
isn't documented anywhere in the game (but there are third-party websites
with the information). You get them by doing the right something, then
clicking on the right person to find that they're a contact today when they
weren't yesterday.

The TV is one of the unlockable City of Villains contacts. You can
find a list of them in one of the guides on the CoH board, and
probably in ParagonWiki too.

CoV has a number of contacts who are unlocked through getting certain
badges and so forth. The TV is one of them.

Yeah....sorta.

Chaarcters from whatever show is on will talk to you and send you on
missions. They send up any number of shows, including Babylon 5, X-files,
the Prisoner, American Idol among others.

There is actually IS supposed to be a TV there. It was there a week or so
ago.
