  1. I didn't know this! Thank you. I'm now off to make "Tiny Guy Samurai" who will weild a comparatively huge legacy katana.
  2. Luigrein provides a great synopsis here. I don't fully agree with every point but they put the work in, so I won't nitpick. For Rad Armor, they have it right. I don't really know if Rad Armor has cons, which is why it's regarded as one of the strongest sets. I believe it has a Cold hole which is generally negligible. They didn't include Regen and Psy Armor. Both sets are new on Tanker and both work very, very well when built properly. Regen is very sturdy and doesn't require the same level of reactivity/proactivity the older version did. Possibly the only set with a toggle that builds on stacks of attacks taken rather than enemies in proximity, which reduces ranged enemy effectiveness. Psy Armor is a unique beast, offering a hybrid Def/Res/CC/absorb shield approach to offset incoming damage while having an ability that boosts Regen/Endurance based on nearby enemies. Similar in clicks to Bio or Radiation.
  3. Do you mean items to click and get a popup? I think a few I've found on a solo run myself. Nothing that I personally felt warranted a whole character roll and level to max just to solo it for the clicks. If you mean something similar to the Hero 1 or Rikti Kong fights, yes. But you'll need to run it at 4 Star with a Master Of badge already earned.
  4. There's an entire category of enhancements that boost knockback strength.
  5. I did this without having a costume on. Can confirm it works that way currently.
  6. I honestly thought the HC team had used AI to write his dialog at first because of the seemingly haphazard use of accented letter Es all over the place and the variety of random italicization. Folks, what kind of accent do we think the author was going for, here? He also has a tendency for verbosity that doesn't help him come off as uh... endearingly nerdy. Brevity, Soul, Wit. Some guy who wrote things said once.
  7. So all of these except Worth Opponent used to be run on Everlasting, when the Everlasting Taskforce leadership bench was a bit bigger. I think if you swapped to Everlasting and put in a request, you could probably get these all knocked out in a week. I'm not around enough during US prime time to know just how frequently the stuff you're asking comes up regularly, but Altair and Lionors who run a lot of the content now seem like good folks and I wouldn't be surprised if they ran an MoKeyes and MoTinPex for you. I see RHW pretty frequently on US Saturdays. Not every weekend, but enough to know it's still being run. Worth Opponent.. a little bit tricky but if you advertise in Everlasting TFs global channel on an early Saturday afternoon, I'm confident you'll have takers. Some people will want the badge. Some people will just want to help. Most of the people in that channel know each other and have been doing content together for years.
  8. Shield's big thing is how much it cranks your damage when surrounded by enemies. The AOE attack TP is the cherry on top. The click mez protection isn't a detractor, it's a benefit. That click has stackable Defense Debuff Reduction that can get you up to 85-90% DDR if when double stacked. That's on par with SR. Shield's actual downside, besides not being able to combo certain weapons, is the high end cost.
  9. I might be reaching here but it sounds like they might just be uninterested in RP? I know there's RPSGs like Wild Cards and Advocators that broadcast recruiting in LFG enough that even with my limited playtime I'm seeing them. So I have to imagine if they wanted to join them, they could. To say nothing of PresidentDSG's weekly open RP missions every Monday night. I can understand them not wanting to go to club RP, too. Even to me it seems daunting unless you're going with someone you know or have a group you expect to fall in on. Probably just want to play the game. I wouldn't stress it.
  10. 1) Pet buffs work across all pets when cast. You used to have to individually cast, but that was changed a while ago. Note that if you lose a pet and need to resummon a new one, you'll have to reapply the buffs. 2) All mastermind power descriptions are listed here in extensive detail. City of Data - Mastermind Powers General descriptions can be found on the powers themselves.
  11. Check out Outcasts of Evil Mutants (they're not evil, I think). Run by Wicked Weather; message her. (forgot her global, it's changed over the years) They're pretty welcoming.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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?
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. One of them being named Arriviste is just a little too on the nose.
  22. 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.
  23. What about Bionic's post was incorrect? The corrections that Googly provided were to Uun's information.
  24. 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.
