Giovanni Valia

Voting for game changes is definitely a thing. Not always for the better though...

It's about time TW got nerfed. Bio-armor also needs to have a look at as well as far as "over-preformance".

It's all so beautiful! 😃 Very excited to see more villains and CoV content. 🕷️

There's a lot of really cool stuff posted in here. Everlasting has such a big talent pool. I'm adding my own base to the mix. Character: Giovanni Valia Global: @Gio Valia SG: Shades of Arachnos Shard: Excelsior Passcode: 1-6811 Builder: Gio (Myself) Villain lair of the Shades of Arachnos. Off-shore Arachnos base in the Rogue Isles, located not far from Grandville. On the surface the base has two functions, oil extraction and communications relay. However, the true purpose of it's design is to serve as a military base for staging invasions into Paragon City. Recently the structure has undergone many unsanctioned "improvements". There is talk that it's commander may harbor his own ambitions beyond Arachnos... Access the subterranean levels via the surface elevator or emergency stairs. Doors function via portal effects; click the glowing section to pass between rooms.

...by giving it a stealth effect! Brilliant!

Buff Regen.

I play PvP occasionally, mostly with friends and have joined a few of the kickball events on Indom. I think the most restrictive thing for people who are interested is the amount of time and inf necessary to get started. Putting together a character with the right power-sets and then leveling that char to 50+1 solely for PvP is a bit of a turn off. It's also very disappointing when the builds you spend a good deal of time/ inf into are built "wrong", as a few of my friends have found out in arena.

Looks like the sky over Grandville in the Rogue Isles. The future's looking bright!

For your amusement. Necro/ Poison mastermind. I had a particular character reference in mind. Tiberius from the VN, Demonbane, if anyone here has played it.

"Fools Errand" for Illusion control/ Empath troller

This is a great guide for the experiencing the story while leveling in redside. On a side note. It might be worth mentioning that VEATs have their own optional storyline. Starting with Alan Desslock, Brick Johnson, and Fortunata Hamilton. It's also realtively easy to out-level their missions, and I don't believe they can be re-played with ouroboros flashback.

So much for the loyalty of these Crab Soldiers... They mispelled Lord Recluse's name. Located in the "Villain Base" of Warburg. "Reculse"

I'll sign up, why not. Global Chat Handle: @Gio Valia Villaingroup: Shades of Arachnos Passcode: 1-6811 Teleport Macro: /macroimage v_archetypeicon_arachnos_widow Arachnos "enterbasefrompasscode 1-6811" The base is what I'd consider "Finished" at this point and ready for judging. It's a bit of a maze. Click the glowies to move between rooms if you see one. Enjoy

Big yikes. Where to even begin there...

Yeah, it's all free, there is no upkeep cost at all. You can see the item limit in the editor, but the biggest limiting factor is your creative mind. (and your FPS) Refer to the base building section of the forums for more info; https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/30-base-construction/

There is no base cost/ prestige required any more.

Yes.

I made a katana/ regen scrapper and have also been afflicted by the invisible sword bug. This is really grinding my gears. 😔😥 Changing the katana weapon at tailor does not seem to help.

+1 for the hotdog stand. That place is perfect.

I decided to try my hand at making a Katana/Regen Scrapper as well. The AT and powers pair well for the character theme I'm going for. I'm not very familiar with PvP builds, so idk how great this will perform in actual combat. My biggest question is how should I be slotting the Web Grenade and Targeting Drone from the Weapons Mastery Epic pool? Am I on the right track? http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/download.php?uc=1451&c=675&a=1350&f=HEX&dc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uild

@Glacier Peak Thanks Glacier. I was using a different double fire spawn, but that one looks easier for positioning. I find that simply slotting out two defender bots w/ crafted IOs and using s3 slotted rest isn't enough to outpace the double fires. Wondering if I'll need to slot set IOs to heal enough, even with two pocket defenders. Off-topic: Thanks for posting that PvP build on the spreadsheet, the Ice/cold dom. corrupter. I'm having a friend give it a spin.

Edit: Nvm, I found it. This might seem like a stupid question, but... Where is the double stacked fire located in Mercy? I've been looking around the island and have yet to find two fires overlapping for double damage. So far, I've only seen two buildings on fire, and neither have stacked fire patches as far as I can tell. Added a few pictures of the two buildings.

I'd like to participate as well, If this is on ongoing thing. I still need that damned Swiss Draw badge. I failed to obtain it with a group after many attempts. It was just awarding to random people. 😬

Heh, Proof that Red-side missions really do have better writing!

From the wiki, "Ally +Recharge, +Resistance(Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Immobilize, Fear, Confusion, Slow) " Frees an ally from any Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Fear, Confuse and Immobilize effects and leaves them resistant to such effects for a good while. It only affects the target ally, not the caster, just like Clear Mind in Empathy. You will gain no mez protection for yourself from this.
