Frozen Burn

So... love the mini-pets... and love me some Sally! Glad she was the first random recipe drop I got from cashing in the monster aethers! I also love that we give her a floating spere of water to survive in while she follows us! Aren't we nice?! 🙂 However, can we make the water cleaner and clearer for her and less murky? I am sure she would love to show off her beautiful slender body. Right now, she just looks like a steel ball that has wings and a snake popping out. 😄 I am sure Lusca mini-pet (maybe others too - I do not know) that would love to show off their bods in clearer water too?

I've posted some of this in the costume thread, but I was lvl 9 then and now that I'm almost 50 and have all my costumes, figured I post it all here.... The Joy of Clubbing (War Mace/Invuln/Mace Scrapper) Joy Johnson practically lived at nightclubs--always dancing and partying. She raved with some Carnies in Pocket D one night and woke up the next day brainwashed and inducted into the Carnival of Shadows running the High Striker game where people try to ring the bell with a mallet. Later that week, heroes stopped the Carnival and Joy was set free from their magical mind-control before it permanently held. But Joy's mind hasn't been right since--she can't get enough of swinging mallets and clubs! Instead of fighting these urges, she registered with Hero Corps to put her new found passion of "clubbing" to good use. However, this passion can be too intense and she sometimes crosses lines to the dismay of Hero Corps. When not on patrol, Hero Corps encourages Joy to dance and party all night long in Pocket D, Paragon Dance Party, or even Studio 55 to burn off her over-enthusiasm of clubbing villains. ....If you can't tell, War Mace and this toon is a JOY to play! 🤣

Dual Pistols always reset too. I have not had an issue with Cloaking Device yet.

You can still use your base TP macro.... you just have to first click Long Range Teleport (Accolade) or Base Teleport (purchased from START/P2W vendor or earned through Monitor Duty day job). You can even still use your macro if you summon a Base Portal (again, temp power purchased from START/P2W vendor or earned through Monitor Duty day job). Click one of those, then click your macro, and then you'll do your emote, say your message, and port to your base, 🙂

I have a set of 5 Posi Blasts in mine (no proc). I want the damage and a bit of recharge.

Yep. That's what my whole post was about. If you have a floor at the right depth with some of the tiles, you can swim under underwater - otherwise, you walk on the floor underneath. And others, you only swim on the surface. I too have lakes that I'd like to swim underwater in, but can't unless you make it fairly shallow.

If you've ever played around in creating a base, using the various water effects allows you to do different things. There are a lot of water "blocks" (we'll call them) that you can only swim on the surface. These, you mostly cannot see under - like the water in Talos, IP, around the Rogues Isles, etc. But there are other water "blocks" that are clearer and can allow you to swim under them to some depth, depending on how far from the "floor" you've created. This is evident in the Cimeroran maps that others have talked about above. and yes, if it goes too high above the floor, you end up just walking around like there is no water at all. I'm using this swimming effect in my base as well. I'm also trying to figure out how to do it on a large scale - so far, unsuccessfully. But smaller shallower areas is working well. So yes, the swimming animation is there, and it is theoretically possible to do more underwater things, provided the depth of the water "block" is made to be MUCH deeper than it already is.

Arena/PvP zone for the Defense shield power. Hosp, Univ, or Midnighter Club for the Ally Heal and Ally Rez powers. But generally, I'm logged out in Ouro for ease of going wherever when logging in. (So, I guess I get recipe bonus and +Rech on those toons.)

I like that it doesn't aggro on its own like other pets - it only attacks when I attack. This is safer and less risky. Don't have to worry about the pet wandering off to another moba nd aggroing it and bringing it onto me or the team like all the other pets can and will do.

I just ran this last night with my vigilante - switched to rogue for it, obviously, but then switched back to vig. The Temp Power that Stephanie Peebles awards upon defeat in this arc is called "Wedding Band (Echo)" - so it is a "different" temp power than what heroes get by do her arc, which just called "Wedding Band." It's really just a copy of it - same buffs, etc - just named something different. I have both powers in my tray simultaneously. The hero version, "Wedding Band," lasts for 2 hours of usage. The Villain version, "Wedding Band (Echo)," lasts for 5 minutes of usage.

Damn, that looks fun!

There is no one way to slot/enhance - that's the beauty of this game. It all depends on the objectives you want to reach for your build. your secondary and pool powers and how you want to slot them, etc. Attached are my 3 DP blasters (/Sonic, /Mental, and /Ninja) and all have different slotting for their powers. ...and these will be completely different from someone else may build/slot. I build mine to Blap and be in the thick of things and they all do it differently. One of them even has Fold Space to bring foes closer in. Hopefully, these will give some ideas for what you can do.

Hi and welcome! That is a bug then. You should be able to drag your character around from slot to slot and page to page. However, there is still hope for you! In your game files... go to your main game folder. Then go to the Accounts folder. You should see a folder with your login name. Inside that folder is a Text Document named "playerslot" and you can open that up and reorder your characters by changing the number behind their name. "0" (zero) is always the first toon in your list. "1" will be the second, and etc.... They are listed in the order you created them, but again, just change the number behind them to the order you want. Sometimes after manually rearranging like this, you can then drag and drop in the character screen. I remember that happening to me ages ago when the game was live.

Many SGs create their own chat channels, and then eventually invite coalition SGs to it, other players, and etc. So, yes, there are plenty - at least on Torchbearer. I've been invited to SO many I've turned most down because It's already difficult to keep up with the 6 or so I'm already in.

Again, I hear you. I understand your point and why you have your preference. I played the game since it started and before there was quick snipe. And yes, you could attempt to do a long snipe in the middle of combat and you prayed no one would hit you to interrupt you... it happened quite often, really, and you had to start over and over and over until you gave up and had to use other powers because you kept getting interrupted. (Which is why quick Snipe was born.) But yes, long snipe is satisfying. Seeing the animation, seeing the big number, and reaching that foe so very far away. I get it. Unfortunately, there is no changing it, so I was just trying to offer some hope to ease the swallowing of a very bitter pill. 🙂 And about your pet. Whether it's in the back, side, or wherever.... if it is doing anything to any foe... then you lose your long snipe. If you are close enough to foes and even though you or your pet did not initiate combat - and the foes did - you lose your long snipe. As long as you or your pet are attacking or being attacked - you lose you long snipe. (What your teammates do does not matter, unless they pull mobs onto you making them attack you - which that happens often too, so be careful about that.) So, you'll have to hang back even further to ensure your pet sees no one and no one is in aggro range of you or your pet, or your teammates can't drag aggro onto you. Your long snipe has a further range than your pet's and foes' aggro range - so there is no reason you can't at least open combat with it. Again, just have to hang back more. Also again.... sorry this is all news that you didn't want to hear. Just trying to offer a silver lining to it. Good luck!

I hear ya. But there is a big difference in DPS waiting for multiple long snipes vs. using many quick snipes and other powers - you get more with quick + other powers vs. many long snipes. Standing back and using long snipe was never efficient. And as mentioned above, quick snipe does do better with more ToHit added into your build. Regarding your pet - even if all it is doing is holds, or debuffing foes.... it is still aggroing. And all pet aggro puts you into combat. No way around that unless you despawn your pet or keep it out of aggro range from upcoming mobs. I know it's not all what you want to hear... but if you embrace it, you'll find you do much better on the whole. 🙂

Thanks for clarifying this. Maybe a short statement in your instructions for anyone else who have them on how to add multiple parameters? ...you know, for n00bs like me? 😀

Just want to say.... THANK YOU For the clear instructions on the manual install for this. It worked beautifully and was easy-peasy.... Download, remove old, and adjust the launcher parameter. Something to note that had me worried... I already have a launch parameter in my Launcher - one that allows me to view the Going Rogue welcome screen and music. I wasn't sure how to put in a 2nd parameter. So, I just a comma and space after first and before the second and prayed it would work and it did. But thanks again for all your work on the maps and making this easy for us!

No, quick snipe cannot be turned off. Your teammates will not put you into combat, but your pet(s) will. So, if you want to use your full snipe, you'll have to dismiss your pet and wait the few seconds period (can't remember how long... 4-5 secs?) for your quick snipe to turn to full snipe. However, you most likely will lose DPS this way as you do nothing for several seconds. Within that time, you could be finishing off mobs or whittling bigger ones down more, by using other powers and your quick snipe (and your pet doing damage too!) vs. waiting around for your full snipe. The Devs have really balanced this out to make snipe powers a viable DPS power with quick snipe - this is why it was implemented in the first place. I highly suggest you embrace the quick snipe. But if not, then you'll just have eliminate your pet and stop attacking for a short while. Use your full snipe as the alpha to the next mob.

I have /Devices and /Tactical Arrow. Both are awesome! And I have no issues late game. My /Devices i build for max recharge and Acc/ToHit - she's squishie as hell, but highly deadly. Double gun drones perma - 3 of them when speed boosted, ageless, or etc. My /TA is sturdier and I will solo +4x8 incarnate content with it.

Personally, I too am not a fan of earning patrol XP for explores. I don't mind getting patrol XP in general... I just prefer getting real XP for the explores and wished it was that way again. This is one of the bummers to this patch, but soooooooooooooooo minor.

I remember playing my Rad Defender all the way up to shutdown and never having this issue. I always was able to cast the correct power by just looking at the button - and you know you cast the right power as they both have distinctly different animations too. Something happened during Homecoming that the switch happened. It wasn't until recently that I started leveling up my remake of a Rad Corr and Rad Defender that I noticed this. I'm glad they fixed this in the latest release, though.

Are you talking Oranbega or the blue/purple caves? Oranbega is specific to CoT and if getting rid of that - what do you propose it is replaced with? I think Oranbega is too ingrained to remove and should stay. (And I have no love for CoT). If you mean getting rid of the blue/purple caves - many other missions and enemy types use it as well. Nearly half the Blueside content would have to be updated. And again, to what? The big open Rularuu caves? Boring. And not as many versions. So, more would have to be made. I personally like the tight quarters of the blue/purple caves as it provides a challenge.

I just want the "Mapserver" Zone invasion event with all the crazy mixed up mobs to come back like we did previously! I think it was in 2022? That was a BLAST! 🙂
