• Plant/Psi dominator just annihilates things.  It's a glorious chaotic scene of carrion creepers, fly trap, roots, pyschic shockwaves and drain pysche. 
• Mind/Kin controller may not clear maps super fast, but it a fun combo, at least for me.  It doesn't matter what he's faced with. Malta, Carnies, Nemesis, Rikti, Arachnos, whatever. Bring it.  Maybe he looks like a feeble old man in a hat and mask, but he'll kick an awful lot of butt.  Or, subcontract it out to his confuse targets, as the case may be. 
• Claws / SR scrapper is not exactly anything new or shiny but Scrapperlock while humming "can't touch this" is kinda fun 🙂
• Fire / Fire Sentinel has been a lot of fun.  He's not the most optimal combo, but is terribly satisfying. Plays like an AE heavy scrapper (fireball, firebreath, burn, inferno is a lot of AE) and still quite durable, without any Fire Sword animations. (all power to you if you like Fire Sword, but it's never been my thing)

 

@MTeague - I've been dabbling in the PvP scene recently and let me tell you - you are right! That Plant/Psi dominator is NOT to be trifled with! *rubs bruises* Oof.

[Supergroup Base Raids]

The return of base raids is something I would very much like to see. I have not seen this question answered elsewhere, so I am making this post. I have often thought how interesting it would be to construct a base with PvP in mind. Although the majority of the player-base seems to be very vocal of their hatred of PvP, there is a minority of players that have expressed interest in super-group base PvP making a return.

 

Perhaps if there was a way to make this optional or have destroyed base assets revert to their original state after the event was over? In full disclosure, I never did play on the Live server, so I'm unsure exactly how it would be implemented. I'm interested in the community's thoughts on this.

 

Hi Giovanni! I too would love to see Base Raids return some day! I use to love the feeling of invading an enemy base and hunting down their IoPs - but also planning my base around an actual defensive strategy as oppose to just the aesthetics! So fun!

 

I too feel that PvP can get a bad rep in-game, hopefully that's something that can change in the future! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! ^_^

I really like how you continue to update the portal hub for the different seasons! Very nifty 🙂

Is to compliment someone on their costume, character name, or biography.

 

No matter how much influence they have, no one ever has too many compliments.

I agree, DougGraves!  I always appreciate a well done hero costume/concept design! I happily message people stating how nifty I think their costumes are when I see them in-game!

 

However, I too have made a lot of friends doing Really Hard Way runs together - so hard to make a superlative! Perhaps we should just compliment other players while doing badge runs together! 🙂

I really think there are so many options these days with IO's on what can solo well but my Ice/Ice dom / Any brute or tank (I have a ton of both) / and my DP/Atomic Blaster are all some of my favorites! 

 

There really ARE so many options, now! I personally enjoy my Psychic/Mind Blaster! I think my favorite character for soloing at the moment is my Dark/Time Controller. He may not have the highest damage output of my toons, but he does okay, and the control/survivability is excellent. 🙂

That's a lot of badges, Excelsior! Any updates? Whose the King/Queen of Badges!, now? 🙂

Hello all, i am kinda new to the building game but have learned a lot and been building more and more. I play on the Torchbearer Server and would love for anyone to visit and give me feed back about my build. You all seem to build very large and my build is rather small. Maybe one day i will get to that point but for now i am very happy with what i have made and would like to share. I did my best to put in everything that is needed and easily accessible for players on the go! It is a blend of High Tech and Alien items, i also did my best to make all the clickable use items into a new unique item as to not be the same thing you would normally see  in all other bases. Passcode AUTI-7639 Oh by the way it is kinda loud in there so be ready for that. lol

Hey @Stormwell76 I went and checked out the base! Super nifty! I loved the use of lettering and also the Rikti-esque theme! Very well done. ^_^
