Well no updates in two months sadly. @GM Crumpet I think this thread can be unstickied.

IMO, Aqua Blast can be interchangeable with Hydro Blast, depending on the needs of the player, but I wouldn't suggest both. Stream Spray would be a good power in the rotation if the player isn't focusing on maximizing global recharge to fill certain attack chains. Everything else is a great pick in Water Blast on Corruptors. Marine Affinity, same as you say. It's quite a versatile powerset, where a player can focus on one thing (debuffs, buffs, or both) or multiple things well enough to get by. I took every power in the set on my Corruptor as I levelled and haven't respecd out of any... yet. I'm fairly certain I've made some duplicative choices with slotting or some of my procs aren't firing as much as I'd hoped. Either way it has been a fun journey to learn the set and experience the game in a unique way that no other powerset has really done for me before.

Good lord this thread is infected with the same rampant diatribes and personal attacks as all the other ones I've seen lately in the Comic sub forum. Can someone please answer my question before this thread gets locked too? Is this a Superman universe origin story reset? My understanding is that WB got rid of the last universe (both TV and Film).

To any reader who might stumble on this thread, have you ever heard Ultimo's tale before? It might sound familiar if you have. And if not, I recommend taking a moment to use the search function.

Click the main AE green portal on the second floor. Actually on second glance, it reads like you are in the mission. If that's the case, go outside the AE building on the map then go over to the Arena. Enter then go up the stairs towards the back.

In before 10 pages of three people yelling at eachother exclusively.

Split the Jello from his mold!

Axe Cyclone uses inverse repel to bring mobs in closer to the player.

I'll bring Bone Saw - Dark Armor / Battle Axe Tanker

If you're like me and always keep your in game map open, it will leave a nifty waypoint when you use the power, in addition to keeping a circle around the power and changing the image of the power in your power tray after successful activation. You'll want to place the tp location you want to go back to (mark) near the entry door. Then once the npc escort target changes from blue to green, that means it's following you. Then just hit the Accolade Power again (recall) and you'll be back at the entrance with the NPC. Doesn't work with non-attacking grey/white NPCs. Fun uses includes getting Becky the Tarantula in the first mission of the ASF to the back easily. And during daily GM hunts on Indom when we go in to Boomtown, I'll place a mark at GWW while the league goes to Babbage. Once the league defeats Babbage, I'll recall then incan the league to GWW.

Anecdotally, I notice this on my mobile when using the Chrome browser. It might be due to my own connection and device settings.

Ah that makes sense! My confirmation bias for thinking the Shifting Tides Cold "Proc" damage goes off because of the Brine application. I've only actually got ToN: Chance for Neg slotted.

I agree if solo, but in a situation with multiple casters applying Brine, the effects stack per caster and can easily be spammed with a Shifting Tides anchored on the target. I'd love to see an analysis of damage procs slotted in Brine coupled with it's debuffs in a team setting - absolutely deleting high HP enemies I reckon.

Solo, Corruptors can hit 5k -MaxHP debuff, but that's with a heavy slot and build emphasis for that purpose, which itself becomes quite niche. In teams, especially with other Brine users, it quickly becomes a fantastic effect that can stack concurrently.

Looking back, badges were first introduced with Issue 2, which came out in September of 2004. So it was some time between then and when City of Villains came out in October of 2005.

Big thanks to darkbladed, I'll be uploading these to the HC wiki for posterity. @Greycat I know you're a fan of these sorts of things. Atlas Medallion Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member Portal Jockey Vanguard Medal Crey Immobilizer Pistol

AM originally had a green accolade auto power icon, FPRM had a pink one, and PJ was blue if memory serves me right.

I still prefer the original accolade auto power colors for Portal Jockey, Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member, and the Atlas Medallion.

Put a merit vendor machine inside of a slot machine in your base and you've accomplished this request. Will still cost reward merits for each reward roll.

That TDP increase of only 100 watts for the huge boost to the CPU's turbo max and x4 cores/threads is awesome. I'm still getting by with my 8700k, but I've been holding out for a GPU that's affordable and makes substantial improvements over my 1080.

There's such thing as direct messages as well. 10 of the 11 pages on my thread are three people talking to eachother exclusively. The movie isn't even out yet, I'm surprised how much there is to write about considering.

At this point I don't think anyone would question who has the most badges 😅

Wonder if the CPU will result in more performance in CoH. Isn't the game reliant on single core performance and memory speeds?

I know, what have I done 😞

Cheers!
