No it didn't. It was shut down. The game was profitable and had a dedicated playerbase that leveraged both monthly subscriptions and micro transactions. It didn't die, it was killed. And it was in fact yet so popular that not only did people try to build out different versions of it to keep it going, but a secret server was started up by a well-known coder who was leaked the game files. A server so popular that people still have angst that they weren't chosen to play on it. By the way, one of those people is the one who routinely posts on the subreddit about the HC devs engaging in scandalous RP. It might be true, it might be lies, but they're only out there saying it in every other post (the same person every time) because they're mad. They're mad that other people got to play and they didn't. That the game went on for others and not them. Just the same way you're mad now. Play the game, be grateful for what you have, and let others do the same.

Claws/Bio will likely give you the straightforward damage profile you seek while letting your keep to Bio which, yes, in Offensive Adaptation and with Proc'd AOEs should be your highest damage boosting secondary.

Not my normal kind of game but I was impressed with the dialog as well. Definitely reminded me a bit of CoH in a good, roleplaying way. I think the choice to cast streamers as some of the voice actors was a really strategically clever one: gaining attention via basically free advertising. As an added bonus they're pretty good VAs, too.

Sometimes I write bios that are just one long run-on sentence, just to see how much I can get away with before it starts to become unwieldly.

I'm not seeing an issue... (and I'm staring respectfully). But other than even skimpier options formed by combining belts and thongs, I don't think there is an alternative. All of CoH pants come up over what is known in scientific circles as "the round of the ass." Maybe in the future we'll get "low rise leggings" which fill in the space between Disco tights shorts and leggings which allow for tail-availability without showing as much skin?

Try Omega gloves and boots tinted the same color. I find it works well enough for my tastes. Even comes in stiletto heels, which can be really hit or miss as to what is available.

In the situation you've outlined, which I try to avoid on builds but cannot be helped at times, I lean hard into doing everything I can to positively effect my Endurance economy. Many sets have a recovery boosting 2 slot bonus, especially PVP sets which at 50 give you a really nice bonus of being able to +5 enhance while still staying active in their slots all the way down to lvl 7. There's also the End Redux Lemming mentioned, now also available in 2pc Cupids Crush. End Redux can also be found in the 5 set bonus for Reactive Defense and Preventative Medicine. These are great sets that are usually worth taking out to 6 slots. You can score global 10% End Redux with these two sets 5 slotted plus a 2 slot Unbreakable Guard or Cupids Crush. Finally, after boosting Recovery and global End Redux, possibly the most powerful but hard to score is raising your Endurance cap. This is for two reasons: like Regen, Recovery scales higher with a higher stat score. Also, your End-producing procs like Panacea and Performance Shifter don't return a flat value of end, its percent based off your max End. So ar 120 max End, you're getting 12 instead of 10 on Performance Shifter procs. That adds up fast. The most straightforward and broadly applicable way to boost max End is with Accolades. This can be tricky to do early on but if you're good with some farming and faction swapping, you can have 110 End as early as level 30 (or lvl 23 if you plan exquisitely to score all the Prae AV kills). After that, various ATO bonuses can help you push that number up, especially if you break up the slotting like on 2pc (Superior) Might of the Tanker. And if you're fat on slots, a 2pc Preemptive Optimazation in Stamina can make a big difference alongside a 2pc Performance Shifter. But that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more ways you can get creative with set bonuses.

I can't speak at all for any specific large or small RP groups out there that do structured/scheduled roleplay (outside of the club scene), but there are RPers from all timezones on Everlasting and you're bound to find some in your particular band. I feel your pain, though. As an East Asia-based RPer for many years now, it's been easy to pick up but very very challenging to sustain character-based RP.

When Barracuda shows up during a task force and activates aggro on something off screen and runs away psi-blasting mid-dialog. I think it's Renault TF.

One of them being named Arriviste is just a little too on the nose.

This is literally Rebirth's Guardian AT. Like, right down to the power scales. Guardians use Dom damage values for their Primaries and Corr values for theie secondary. The one big difference is that the secondaries have been reworked to keep the strongest abilities and swap in armor set powers so your character has some (limited) tank but can still do the impactful things like Fulcrum Shift or Chrono Boost etc.

What about Bionic's post was incorrect? The corrections that Googly provided were to Uun's information.

Yes. I also stack it with shoal rush and Whitecap. Even not at 50, it has an appreciable effect on TF AVs, especially with repeat applications due to Shifting Tides.

It does, man. A lot of this works way differently than you understand.
