My main character on this game or any other is never who I think it's going to be. For HC, it ended up being my Arch/TA Corr, a character I initially rolled as a joke. But she's fun at any level and has enough of a grab bag of powers I always have something to do no matter what kind of content I run. She's my default when I get tired of my (many) alts and don't know who to play. She doesn't even have a backstory, which is different for me. She's just fun!
On Live, it was a storm/elec def. I tried rolling her again on HC and realized defenders just weren't my thing anymore. It's interesting to see how I've changed as a player in all the years of City.

I agree that if you wanted to try Mort Kal again I'd really recommend having one person on imp duty. And I'd suggest putting down AoEs around Posi--it can act as a back up for the imp person.
Also, with the lack of debuffs native to that group, make sure to pick up envenomed daggers from P2W. It allows my partner and I to duo just about anything in game.

" everyone has to be level 35+, "
I think that's the problem right there.
I know -I- appreciate the Mothership Raids where the organizer specifically says "all levels welcome."
This!
I can think of another benefit of instance RWZ's and that's to keep the zone clear for other content like LGTF, etc. But otherwise Indom has nightly zone MSRs and I've yet to be on a failed one. All levels are welcome, the rule is you can't idle or you're kicked from the league for that run.
And the xp is NOT good for the time investment. They're just fun. It's like Hami's if you're 45-49. They're fun and different content but a terrible way to level given the time sink.

It's removing 10% of it.
True, but is that enough given the current inflation levels? I know some people who only run SO builds, which is another inf sink, but other than builds there's not too much to spend inf on in the game.
Of course, this is all made up money in a game, so perhaps inflation doesn't matter all that much as they have provided alternate methods of getting drops.
-
My objection to the double inf after 50 is with the additional end game content and the draw of being able to earn incarnate awards with regular gameplay...there's so many people out there with 50's with multiple vet levels. I barely touch my one IO'd out 50 and she's got 14+ vet levels already and I have no intention of not continuing to play her. Double inf after 50 would create enormous inflation above and beyond what we already have.
I really wish Homecoming would add more inf sinks to the game beyond the market--as that is passing money around, not removing it from the system.

@Sole
I played from day 1 on infinity as Sole, an energy blaster and was a member of Omni SG and most of my other toons were in The Electrofires
The other tunes many would have know me were my Defeneder "Maple Miss", Tanker "Taskman" Scrapper "Big Daddy D"
I played mostly solo and once I found people that I liked playing with I kinda stuck with them so I might not have been the most well known player even though I was around forever
Welcome back! I remember Omni, even if I don't recall your character in particular (I am bad with names so...could have teamed with you weekly and it'd be only a 50% chance I'd remember). Omni were good people. 😄

I think part of the problem with this particular discussion is it's encompassing two very different styles of game play. I'm not a min-max'er, I don't IO out most of my characters. I find most endgame content dull as dirt. I'm an okay player who occasionally runs with a whole bunch of munchkins. I don't mind that their characters can wipe the floor with my corpse since I can't keep up with them. I enjoy the journey from 1-50 so that's where my focus is--working on the part of the game I enjoy.
I'd never want to nerf the munchkins who enjoy figuring out how to eke out those last percentage points to finish whatever build they dreamt up. That's what they think is fun. We can still play missions together. If it's +4/x8 I just provide occasional vengebait, is all. If you play the game "as intended" (basic IOs or SOs, mission arcs, etc), it's still plenty challenging. The defense and resistance caps aren't the problem. The content and lack of variety in content could use some polish, though.

I feel like some of y'all have never had the joy of grilled fruit and it shows. Pineapple on pizza 5ever.

I was one of the original players of the game. My toon was Lady Phenom, leader of the Healer Sisterhood. Ever try a Hami raid with all healers? Hilarious.
Hey! I know you don't remember me but Healer Sisterhood was my first SG. Welcome back!

I would love this. Missing lenses and just rims would work just fine in game.

My current highest character on these servers is a TA corr who I love but...these buffs would be helpful. While I know it'd tip this set more into "control" I do wish that either Entangling Arrow or Ice Arrow were a cone or AoE. This set is so AoE heavy it's jarring to only be able to hold or immobilize one at a time. Or maybe add another kind of debuff into one or both of them, to help balance it out.
Though personally I'd probably keep the slow on Glue Arrow where it is and just bump up the -recharge. Glue Arrow is a cornerstone power and I'd hate to lose what debuffs I do have (personally).
I am one of those who loves Flash Arrow and I use it constantly but I do wish that the -to hit was just a smidgen better so it's more useful mid-fight rather than just being a -perception so I can stealth a group past mobs or control how many adds we get. Which is great, don't get me wrong but overall every TA power (with the exception of Oil Slick and EMP Arrow) feel like they're just...missing...something.

It's easy to swap sides these days. Talk to the Null the gull on the truck in Pocket D. You can swap back whenever you want.
At what level can you do this?
1 AFAIK.
Correct, it's one. Just have to make your way to Pocket D and Null will do anything for free at level 1. Also a good idea to set mystic fortune preferences while you're there.
-
I would try to global friend whoever I could. You could even ask in the forum for whatever server you play on for people who play red side. A bit of networking will go along way.
This. If you team with someone and enjoy it, try friending them. I've noticed that over time you end up running into the same people over and over since red side is much smaller.
-
It's possible but more difficult to find teams redside. What it takes is a lot of flexibility. Teams are going to be oddball in terms of levels and ATs a lot of the time. I can usually find at least a couple people to team up with but nothing like blue side.

Hi guys, making a new post for this one as my schedule threw my weekly plan all out of whack. I am going to run a Mortimer Kal SF tonight as it provides a character boost till level 50 (+max how, +Regen, +dmg). If you want to bring a hero just visit Null beforehand and swap sides for the sweet, sweet badge and buff.
If you'd like to come along I'd love to have you! Send a tell to @Tiny Bolt. I'll advertise in game a bit as well but I'm getting home only shortly before go time.

5/21/19, Silver Mantis. Villain side, lvl 20+. It's all Sky Raiders, all the way down. Badge for completing it is Air Pirate. Start time is 9:00pm CST. Will go with less than 8 people if need be.
Sign up:
1) Tiny Bolt, elec/storm Corr
2) Errants, unknown but the character will have permanent scrapperlock

I'm okay with trolls trying to come up with goofy pronouns if those who want it for more serious reasons also had access to this. Love this idea! Fingers crossed it's not a hard fix.
-
I get it! My mains are on Indom but I have someone on Everlasting in that level range. I have an alt problem, lol. I'm doing SFs on Indom tonight but I'll be available Fri onwards. I'm @Tiny Bolt in game--I'll send a request next time I'm in!
-
Okay so this week got flipped--we ran the Posi's last night so this Thursday will actually be the Cap SF. Minimum is level 15, it's villain side. Go time is 9pm CST.
-
You can always try and find a lower level mayhem/paper team still in PO. What server are you on? I got some characters in that range and wouldn't mind picking it up for you.

Tyche is here too.
For those who remember me and my legion of alts :) I hope some of the other Tychians - and the dUmb folks, Insomniac Brigade, folks form the Bits channel, and other fun friends - are around too.
I do see Eran posted (hi!) and also TinyBolt who I recall a bit less well, and Baney too (hi you guys).
Been wondering if Well or Bug are going to make it make.
I'm primarily playing on Indomitable right now - the "In" reminds me of Infinity where I did nearly all my playing.
Global is @Tyche if you remember teaming or chatting and want to get in touch
Hi! I remember you for sure. Not surprised you remember Eran/Errants better--between the two of us he has always been the outgoing one (we're married so royal we usage here lol).
I know the Bits are in game again but not sure who from that group are around.
Ahah :) Yes, the public voice, as it were? My partner and I have a bit of that too ;) Nice to re-engage and I'll add the dUmb channel to boot. Keep forgetting to message Well on skype to see if he knows the score, cuz I never use skype...
I'm here. I have made a couple characters, but I haven't settled on a server yet. I was waiting to see if more old dUmmies rejoined before I picked one.
Hi! I remember you. Welcome home! I've seen a lot of people from Infinity on Indom (where I settled). Not sure if it's official or just coincidence.

Hi everyone! I'm interested in putting together a weekly team to run TFs and SFs with. Would anyone be interested? I'm thinking Tuesdays at 9pm CST for SFs and Thursdays at 9pm CST for TFs. I don't particularly care what character you bring along but it'd be nice to have a sign up with the globals so I can see who I'm waiting for in game for start times.
I'm willing to start tonight with a Cap SF. Minimum level is 15.
5/14/2019, Cap SF, 9 pm CST, 15+ level. If you need a couple DFBs or street sweeping before the start time to get to level just send a tell!
1) @Tiny Bolt
2) @Errants

I've luckily managed to reconnect or keep in touch with most of the people I've been looking for but if anyone knows where Slax (Infinity) wandered off to it's been a 6 year mystery, lol.
-
I remade the dUmb chat channel. Feel free to join to reconnect! I'll pass the star if some of the actual dUmb people join as I was always more an honorary member.
Making Task Forces Challenging Again!

It may be possible to make it through a TF at +2 but I think you're missing the point of it would not be fun or enjoyable or even possible for the average player to make TFs more difficult. It can be a struggle some nights getting teams together with easy difficulties...why insist on making it harder and less accessible for everyone when a solution exists to make it harder for just yourself?
For myself, I have limited time to play. I'm not going to waste my time on a game where I have to take time to carefully build a team and hope 1 hour later we don't fail. That's not fun to me. I'm glad you find it fun but that difficulty slider already is there for you. Why are you looking to mess with mine?
