Lost is being evil. It keeps going, "Here, we're going to tell you what's going on!" and then at the last second, "Psyche! Fooled you! You know NOTHINK!"
Managed to get on CoH and do a mission with Findra's guild, altough I wasn't exactly recognized at first, so there was an uncomfortable bit where they were talking to me like I was some total stranger and they *hadn't* invited me to come play the night before during the story circle.
Once in the mission... well... level 5 sidekicked up to 18 fighting Tsoo. Somehow, it was less suicidal than trying to solo my missions -- Sonic/Sonic can't solo mission on heroic (without great difficulty and/or waiting for them to get stale), although streethunting works just fine.
The biggest problem is that Sonic Blast seems to have a massive accuracy hit, along the lines of the controller AoEs -- a sonic blaster I talked to mentioned having to use multiple acc enhancers in each power. It wasn't at all unusual for a fight to go like this:
(pop acc insp, going up against a +1 lietenant)
Sonic Syphon (hits)
Shriek (misses)
brawl (hits)
shriek (misses)
brawl (hits)
shriek (misses)
sonic syphon (hits)
shriek (misses)
howl (hits) <-- the AoE cone didn't have the problem I was seeing with the default blast. Go figure.
Intensely frustrating, especially since the mission in question was all the way on the other side of galaxy city from the hospital.
After a while I got sick of missing, and headed out to Icon in IP instead to get a hat. Steel Canyon's Icon is hard to get to at 7th since you have to run alll the way across the zone through purples, but IP's is a block from the King's Row entrance.
