Xiddo

I got kicked by a leader a couple of days ago because I said it was “a bit much” for them to say “wait bitch” before we entered a mission. I’m feeling the PuG life recently.

I read @Solarverse’s letter yesterday. I’ll admit I don’t understand their POV as I play without sound, but I still found it sad that a thing changing in this game made them stop playing. I realise it isn’t very cool to be sincere on the internet but I hope this change… … means you can come back to the City Solar. And thanks to @Number Six for giving them the option.

🙂

I still wish Horus, of the War Witch and Apex trio, appeared in game. Or did he die in the comics? Been a few years since I’ve read em tbh. In one of the Mender arcs don’t we meet the Rikti-Hero 1-but-doing-a-bit-better? I always assumed the next story would be that Scirocco (spelling?) and Manticore would swap, and we’d finally lose that arrow-nerd to the dark side cos he’s livid about Psyche getting dragged down under. The whole Pandora’s box arc complicates things a bit… there’s a harpy with magic powers and the trolls are stronger? And now the zig is useless? Also nemesis makes a giant monster? It’s all a bit wild and I get the impression the OG devs just threw loads of stuff at the wall.

I finally wiggled my build around and got Fold Space on my PB. The JOY i felt seeing you can use it while in dwarf and squid… The dream.

🧟‍♂️

Hey @Bumguffy - pleasure to meet another brit on Excel! Feel free to drop me a global add on @Xiddo in-game. Have been recently trying to do slower, contact runs, with team-focussed toons. Im behind on this project but I think I might hop on the rad/fire train. Ill see if I can drag @MoonSheep along too. Hopefully see you in the city 🙂

I can imagine the Sovereign/ Sovereignty group (that lad on one knee in Ouro on Excel) running this kind of thing. I think @Goddess Laucianna might be a member? If memory serves.

STRONG look @MagicalAct

Only slightly more thought about, just the res/def mechanics. Not the names etc.

Heya! I'd argue the toggle suppression really helped WS and - to a lesser extent - PBs. When I'm shifting as the WS the stun aura can quickly nip a mob and give me a little more bit breathing space. Also, the level unlock changes mean we - maybe annoyingly - peak even earlier now. In a Moonfire you have Eclipse/Light Form. Exemping is much, much simpler and more efficient. Not trying to be pedantic, just in case you hadn't seen some changes! My dream would be: we get the forms auto-unlocked at 6 and 20, powers included. Frees us 2 power picks. I could finally get Fold Space on my PB...

Hi @Yevonai. Which server are you on atm? I'm UK based, on Excel, and have been running contact-only mission teams from 1-50 for the last couple of weeks. No XP boosters on my toon, seeing some of the (better) arcs (generally the ones added late/ here on HC) and would be more than happy to start something fresh to come along with ya. Feel free to drop me a DM. Wouldn't want you to feel frustrated. I also love seeing those arcs that quite a few of us haven't done in ages. Welcome back home 🙂

That Ogre look is much, much better than the credit they've been given.

New stuff should be exciting, whinging makes it boring, go test it out, bring helpful suggestions, spread the word so others test it out too, it’d be nice to have some other voices bringing stuff to the table.

Mine only opens the HC launched when on a different network. But that’s cos my ISP doesn’t allow Wine to run. But once HC is open we’re running and I can go back. you can definitely run two accounts using HC too?

Going to do this arc a couple of times.... So will EDIT as I do it in the different iterations. General note: 1. The first mission is absolutely fab. Those big spawns are great. Finally the wailers in a blue mission! 2. Ooooh boy I can see getting the badge for this is going to take a few tries... First run: Outcome - Mission 3 Mission 4-ish

I know people are very interested in the new blasts/ powers but please go and check out the new arcs. I've just properly run through the 40-44 one and it is great. For me, it is the kind of arc the alignment system was made for. Really great use of it. New content is something many of us have asked for, lets show the dev team that it is appreciated! Will be testing the other one on Monday.

Hello! General points: 1. No badge for the new mob? 😞 (trying to avoid spoilers) 2. The redraw changes make warriors attack much faster! However, I noticed they all ran out of end as I stood doing nothing to test their attack chains. So they eventually all.. stopped attacking. This is obvious a rare thing as no one is just going to let them slash and I’m sure it probably happens with all mobs. But still. Might be the end costs of axe? I would say: the redraw changes make them, on the whole, a bit more challenging cos they aren’t fighting with themselves! 3. The badge art isn’t viewable in anything less than 'recommend' graphics quality. I'm on performance and it looks really weird. 4. Have you changed the level ranges on warriors? Running on a PB, the quants only go to level 29 and are grey. HEROIC RUN: Mission 2: Mission 3: Mission 4 Mission 5 ROGUE RUN: Mission 3 Mission 5 - I think? Explanation in spoiler. I really enjoyed this arc. Edit: I enjoyed it EVEN more now I've done it both ways. Really great way to do content. This kind of format is EXACTLY what I'd hoped Live CoH would do with the alignment system. If only there were endings like this to big, landmark content like a TF. Great stuff. It’s fun, the maps are good, it links up well, it makes sense, and when it does make you run across cities it is justified. 8/10 9/10 now I've done both versions.

I think we teamed together on our Slot challenge toons together… or at least you were on yours. Valerie Void hit 32 a coupla days ago. Loving Darkness control. Gone over to redside to get some badges. Might roll something else soon!

Plot?

only for the lead IIRC. I’ve been doing the Shauna arcs in IP on my vigil and plenty of straight nerds heroes have joined the runs fine. If 1/8 players has an alt with a grey alignment then be fine. You’re not wrong about pure blue content needing a refresh. I’ve been doing arc-only level ups and the difference between late-live/HC arcs and old-live is night and day.

When I was having a mess about looking at it I couldn’t figure out which secondary to go with as I don’t have much experience with blasters. I am gonna test this out cos it looks damn fun. On the whole, think I’m quite happy with psi. It’s gone from “eh, I’ll try something else” to “actually looks quite interesting” to me.

The new arcs look really solid. I’m very excited to run them through on live. The HC added ones are - generally - better than the live arcs I think.

I tried running a Grav/kin a while ago and found - with the KB proc - it didn’t always negate it from propel. But part of me assumed it was just me. Haven’t tried it on the dom side. I’m hopping on to try some of the new stuff in beta anyway so will check. Dakhness has a really nice Grav/psi with fold space as well as wormhole. theres just so much recharge. Really nice to play with if you’re the tank/meat shield cos everything just drops on you. But can see it being a slight pain in 50+4 content cos you’d need to pop the +1 insp
