terryclothDid some more with Slinker last night -- after soloing a couple missions, an invulnerability tank wanted to be sort-of-power-levelled, so we went up against Family (which inv can tank well because they do only smashing/lethal except for the bosses) and he tanked them while I killed them and a healer (I never saw her use an attack) spammed clear mind, of all things, except (oddly enough) when a mezzing boss showed up. Although she didn't make that mistake twice, and no one actually died.
I say sort-of- because I never could have taken on groups of 10-12 26s with a level 24 SR scrapper and lived. On the other hand, he'd hit them for 15, and then I'd turn around and crit for 147+147, so it wasn't like he could have killed them either.
At any rate, the tanker made his level and brought out his slightly-higher-levelled guy to sort-of-PL us in return (there were a couple times we had to save his ass; blasters are squishy against hazard-zone-sized spawns like we were taking on), getting me 3.5 bubbles in half an hour or so. Since it'd already been late when I logged on, I called it a night.
Made good progress downloading overnight, but then the updater crashed again somewhere around the 1.0G mark. When logging on to try to reset, I noticed that the servers were mostly down, and the ones that were up gave a 'wrong protocol: use newest version' error message. Apparently, the patch is going in today, but isn't yet available for download through the pre-downloader, only the post-downloader.
Quitting from the login screen did launch the post-downloader, at least.
