Glacier Peak

First Ward and Night Ward are on my list of zones I haven't yet conducted a search of any geometry errors or holes in the zone to pass through. It's a fun hobby, but it's time consuming!

Perhaps, but it's the only answer that has been provided to the problem the OP is describing. If the OP were willing to reform the team at a later date with someone who had holds or obtain the Security Chief Day Job Accolade and log out near a bank or police station to gain charges for the Tear Gas AoE Hold, their options would expand.

Pictures!!!

I remembered correctly! There was an old post that linked to an image of the event triggering, and this is what is seen when it happens:

Just barely beat the Archetype sub forum.

Yeah, COH is definitely operational over virtualization. I think I ran 10 instances over my own server using less than 16GBs of RAM and maaaaaaaybe 2 cores of my CPU? Maybe? Virtualization is the future man, just tell the program you got what it needs and the program doesn't know any difference between a physical system and a virtual one. I dunno how that works on modern stuff, but it works pretty universally (with the right software supporting) over virtualization.

I think I will add some context to @Without_Pause comments and try to steer it back to the topic of the thread. The HC team has been outputting awesome content for the past two years with fewer than a dozen developers (at least according those publicly stated on their Staff page). This makes me think of two things: 1) Wow, that is a really productive and creative bunch of volunteers, and 2) They care enough about this community to make sure the content they create is of the highest standard. That standard is secured through a combination of time and effort on behalf of the developer team, but also from the players in the community who choose to play test, break, and find exploitive or unintended behavior - so that when the goodies hit the shelves (costumes, powersets, missions, etc.), the community can be confident the content is true to the spirit of the game.

Right! I mean I took breaks because it cost money and sometimes I just didn't have enough to justify the sub, but now that it's back and FREE I'm picking up what you're putting down.

Taser Dart has you covered. You can purchase from the P2W Vendors. Origin powers.

Try reducing your particle effects count down to minimum.

Yeah what @GM Impervium said. Also these threads that asked same questions over the past few weeks:

The Advanced Difficulty Mode has been discussed on these forums and on the official HC Discord. Other stuff has also been alluded to in separate forum posts. (Examples: Warriors revamp, screenies of tentative content, bug fixes). Edit: Now that I found them, screenies in the spoilers:

I dunno. Not for or against this. I remember trying out the pool powers for this when I was using the dev console on my private server and it was janky. If you're talking about implementing them as fixed powers then heck yeah!

I was actually a huge fan of the introduction of the court of owls in the mid-2010s run of Batman. It was a satisfying new take on not just a Batman villain group, but one that had so much history in Gotham and could be plausibly believed to have such power. My appreciation for Batman content goes: Comics (when he's not fighting an interdimensional god, like seriously these are the worst issues) Animated Series and animated films (Kevin Conroy is the voice of Batman!! And Mark Hamill is the Joker voice - this is not up for debate) Video Games (Arkham series, but there have been a lot of duds/stinkers) Live Action version (Films have been hit and miss. I hated that they made Batman such a focus in the CW Gotham show, I would've loved to have just watched a series about Detective Gordon as he rose up through the ranks)

Just play on both if it is that big a deal to you. I prefer my costume pieces not clipping through my costume or breaking my gameplay experience. And more and more costume pieces get added with every page, so if you have patience it becomes a nice surprise.

Wow these are creative as ever! The event was awesome, but these pictures make me want to spend even more time in the costume creator instead of playing the game lol 😅

Okay, but the -res proc doesn't stack, and most enemies (outside of EBs) die within a few seconds in fire farms so it still doesn't seem necessary to me. I can understand needing a pocket emp as the fire farmer levels up though.

I think the last time Batman went this dark/delves as deep into rogues gallery outside of the comic medium was in the magnificent and highly acclaimed Batman Animated series.

Over 200% recharge and the Brutes attack chain is going to have powers available faster, but things like burn don't stack. It's overkill IMO. Damage is going to be capped too between chewing reds, Fury, Build Up/Fiery Embrace, and IOs. And endurance recov is essentially capped as well with Ageless every 2 minutes. And then all that's left is fire defense at or around 45%. Sneeze and you've got capped fire resists so that's not even important really. So why do you need a pocket emp for a fire farm? If it was outside AE content, that could potentially make more since to me.

Yes! Or Calendar Man 😃

Yeah you have to have that on hand! Nobody is going to take your bet if you walk in with those big numbers and no proof lol

Corruptors don't have a great damage modifier and don't have very good defense or resistance either. Scrapping together enough through IOs would end up being detrimental to the primary goal during farming, which is damage output. While Scourge and Fulcrum Shift would allow a great deal of this to be made up, this would likely require a custom/tailored AE mission that meets the needs of your build in order to achieve your stated goal. My recommendation, reroll as a Rad/Fire or Spines/Fire Brute or Fire/Fire/Fire Blaster, or anything with a higher damage ceiling really.

Ah! I missed that point. Apologies then, we are in agreement. I appreciate the added clarification. And I also agree that the suggestions made in this thread by everyone (including the OP) have so far been superb. The suggestions are superb - but the implementation of some of them are what I don't agree with.

That's awesome! That song is fire 🔥
