Money aka influence is that what peeps are complaining about Prismatics? You have got to be kidding, right? Oh, I saw the swipe at afk farming, too. Here is my take on the balance of money making this game offers. People complain about "Farmers" all the time. AE Farming has been nerfed so many times over the years to "balance" money making it is a black-eye on the games face. I say this because of the following. Hami Raids, MSR's, and other farming techniques (farming weeklies, tf/sf , trials and radios can make as much money if not more money then farming. I point out that in some cases you can make more money faster than AE farming (Hami Raids). People come out of the walls and cracks to farm Hami raids several times a week. Why? They get drops aka $. You get a chance at a very expensive HO that can be worth between 100,000 to 50,000,000. They usually run 3 Hami's each run and there are several scheduled Hami Runs each week. The potential of making more money then farming is obvious. Players farm the MSR and there are a few each week. The benefits for farming MSR's is obvious for low level toons (EXP) and for other high level toons (merits....AKA money). Farming weeklies is a cult as well. Why for Prismatics and money in the end. let me be clear, certain events and TFs/SFs drop prismatics. Today 7/23/23 the average price of a prismatic is 4 million. A 4* Dr. Aeon can take between 30 min and 1.5 hours on average depending upon the team. Yes, you need to have a decent toon to help the "TEAM"S" chances at success. I would point out that a lot of times 2 or 3 players carry the Dr Aeon team to completion and that includes 4* Dr Aeons. Yes Dr Aeon SF gives a chance to drop a D-sync worth between 100,000 and over 800,000,000+. Yes, you get prismatic drops too. My points are: You need to put time into the game to learn all the things that it offers, badges, accolade powers, sg base building, pvping, farm building, how to build a farmer toon building, slotting, power rotation... Apparently, the Developers expanded COH by adding Prismatics as a new content. Every on line game I have played including WOW has content that only higher level toons can run and some need to be exceptional to completed some tasks. I don't think some players understand how much time very good players put into this game. Take a toon's build for example. You need to know what each power does and how to slot it then figure out where to put it in your power rotation. Very good players can respec their toons several times and may even respec again after new content is released. Everyone does not like to pvp so should we complain about pvping taking up valuable server space? Everyone does not like to base build. Everyone does not like to badge hunt. Should the devs do away with that content? Look. Find something that COH offers and run it don't be looking over your shoulder and complaining about other in game content. Find things that you like to run and run those things. Understand, that as much as you like to run things like pvp others like to run farms or other content. It is a game with many types of content for a diverse player population. Lastly, there are many ways to do different things in this game. If you want to be really good then you need to put the time in to learn what it is you are trying to do. Yes things just dont fall from heaven into some players heads and pass by other players. Read what the new content is and then research it on line or in forums. If you want a good pvp toon do the research. if you want accolade powers; do the research. If you want to make money then do the research. If you want a good farmer or a good door/tf toon then do the research. You need to put the time in to be successful. You know that once you start down a research path things just wont suddenly fall into your lap like mana from heaven. Now you have to work and put time a lot of time to be very good at what it is you are trying to become. Let me be clear. You wont become a multi-billionaire farming toon over night it may take 6 months to a year. But once you have a decent farmer, have a good power rotation, and know how to build a decent farm money will come fast. Remember you will need to run farms a lot to make money so its not like you will be getting rich quick. Again other things like farming Hami Raids serveral times a week is faster at making money than AE farming is. Enjoy the game. Live and let live. G E Man

It's all about the Kheldian's build and your power rotation. Some players go for damage others for survival whichever you choose to be popping inspirations can make your toon more survivable and deal more damage. Learning how to pop inspirations can make your toon more "Juicy" then if you do not use all the various types of reds, yellows, supers, duals... etc... Happy Hunting, G E Man

Whether you choose an all human, a dual form or a tri form is basically your choice. However, there are a few key points to consider when selecting your Kheldian's build. 1. A Squid form is always going to be squishy. 2. White Dwarf form is nice to have for tanking but you cannot use Perma light form. Only the all humane form can use perma light form.. White Dwarf adds 37.5% resistance to smash, lethal, fire, cold, energy, negative energy and toxic. 3. The all human form needs perma light form to be competitive. Perma light form is gained by boosting your recharge time. PERMA LIGHT FROM adds 52% resistance to smash, lethal, fire, cold, energy, negative energy and toxic. This is 14.5% higher resistance than in white dwarf form. 4. All human forms get to use all of their powers. Dwarf and Squid forms lose the ability to use all of their powers. 6. A downside to all human forms with Perma light form is the crash. The crash comes every 7 or so minutes and some are more severe then others. The crash causes a toon in Pema light form to lose end and health. Sometimes this can be countered by just popping a blue and/or a green. However, a severe crash can cause your end to drop very low and your health can drop to about 40-50%. Peacebringers have two heals, an incarnate power and blue inspirations to deal with a severe crash. Keeping an incarnate power like, agility, or possibly cardiac on hold just for a severe crash and alternating it with Essence Boost in most cases will get you out of most severe crashes. However, there maybe times when you will need to pop Reform Essence, as well. It can be nerve wracking waiting for the crash not knowing if the next one will be a severe crash or not. But using your two heals, blue inspirations and saving agility and alternating using it with Essence Boost to pop on a severe crash will make any anxiety go away. Last, khelds tend to be soft on taking psionic damage. Building your toon with psionic set bonuses and psionic enhancements will resolve any psionic attacks you encointer. Happy Hunting, G E Man

Lot's of Triumph Players here on Excelsior. Some have their original names from live but often play alts. My main toon was G E Man. There is a channel that lots of triumph players use and many Triumph players use discord to chat while running the game. Send tells out on request, help and global chats until you hook up with Triumph players. You will find lots of other non-triumph players who are just as friendly.

It is kind of hard for me to critique your build without knowing its function: task forces/door missions, farmer or pvp. However, I always 6 slot Short Circuit ( Armageddons or Furry of Gladiator) because not only is it a super end drain it is also a very effective damage power. Now for farming and for tfs/doors I only 3 slot power sink with eff/adapts and focus on recharge. Between Sort Circuit and Power Sink you should have more than enough end drain to keep baddies at bay. PVP is a different animal. 6 slot them both. Have Super Speed to keep out of enemy's range. Make sure you have one or two great holds and at least one long ranged hold. Some sets allow chance for hold on a range damage power. Lock on target, then spam long range hold/s. Use SS to stay out of harms way. It may take a while to get a hold but as soon as foe is held use SS to get up close and personal. Spam holds and end drains.... when foe is helpless hit'em with everything your toon has. The main concept to remember is this. Electric blasters are Sappers (end drain toons). No end means foe cannot do squat.

Its not about purple and ATO sets. Its about what your toon needs. That is based on the archetype, powers chosen, how many slots you placed in those chosen powers and what you want your toon to do: door missions, farm or pvp. Basically, a toon can be resistance based, defense based and in some cases have good res/def. You have asked about electric/electric blasters. Again not knowing what you want your toon to run, I will discuss a build for electric/electric blasters (e/e) for tfs and door missions. Usually, a toon will have weaknesses when you build it for certain foe. Most level fifty tfs and doors that I run have the following enemies, carnies, arachnos, rikti, romans and freaks. Since I am primarily fighting the previously mentioned foe, I select powers that allow me to build up my s/l, psi, energy, health, recharge and regen. E/e blasters are easiest to be primarily resistance based. I always cap s/l and try to get psi, energy and toxic as high as possible, They usually run between 51-68 depending on additional p2w and sg buffs. Again, it is not about the enhancement set as much as it is to get the important combat stats capped or as high as you can (50 -68). i often use low level enhancements to build up important combat stats there-by passing up purples and atos. I guess its best to say that the sets bonuses are more important to me than what the value of each enhancement provides. Here is an example of how I decide on what enhancement to select. Ragnarok Damage recharge value is 33.1% dam and 33.1% rech while bombardments damage/rech is 26.5% dam and 26.5% rech. My combat stat for psi was 68% and my energy and negative energy needed to be higher. Accordingly, I selected the set of bombardments. The other set bonuses were very good and I certainly could use them. However, the ragnarok had f/c which I dont need in most doors and tfs. The recovery was not needed especially because of power sink which drains end and returns it to me. Power sink has a decent rech of about 25 secs. Again, psi was way above being soft capped, so I really needed the energy and negative energy a lot more. Bombardment was the choice for me on that toon for what I intended to run him. So, this build is resistance based and all of the combat stats that I will need for the foe I will be fighting on doors and tfs are capped or 50 -68%. The downside is f/c and negative energy are very low and when fighting those enemies I would select a different toon. Most players make the mistake of trying to run an e/e blaster as a range toon. E/e blasters are sappers and need to get up close and personal. They have as many melee powers as they do ranged. I use both when I fight as melee. One of the greatest mistakes that players make is not selecting power sink and short circuit. Players want damage so they by-pass those two end drain powers. Let me say this: When foe has NO END THEY CANT DO SHIT. Now how you slot those two powers makes all the difference. Short circuit can also take melee aoe and still be very effective at end drain and give you added damage. Power sink I always 3 slot with eff/adts. Thus, I drain enemies end, give damage and get a lot of end returned to my toon. A lot goes into building a toon. I have not even discussed play style, power rotation and most importantly know your toon. Most players want a "pling" to be power leveled. If you are a noob or unfamiliar with blasters and their powers, then you need to level the toon up to learn its powers so you know which one's are good and which ones are not for you. You will have a difficult time selecting powers and slotting them if you have a poor understanding of the power sets offered for your toon. Last plan your build for what you intend to run it on and the foe you will be fighting. This is done by researching the type of damage foe deal and then use your combat stats to get the resistance and/or def capped or near capped. Last. Damage and recharge are very important for a blaster. You will need to figure out a way that best allows you to add those into the combat stats, as well.

I sent 2 petitions about my combat stats being 44% when they should be 70%. I was in a lvl 45 flashback and when I left it my s/l resistance climbed back up to where is should be. please cancel those 2 petitions. thank-you

I have not been able to select "My Creations" in AE without having been booted from the game. The issue started about 2 weeks ago after they worked on the servers early in the week. Before that I could run all my AEs and create new ones. I have just learned that some of my AE missions have the same ID as other players. The ones of mine that have the same ID numbers as other players are no longer available. I still cannot click "My Creations" without being booted from the game.

Each time I click on My Creations to run one of my AEs or to create a new AE I get booted from the game. Other people can run my AEs and I can enter my AE if someone else has the lead. I can also run other players AES, but again if I try to set one of my AEs then I get booted from the game. This began about two weeks ago after they worked on the game early in the week. Any assistance you can render would be greatly appreciated. Happy Hunting, G E

Yup, same thing here. This is what I posted in the last of several crash reports. There was a server reset or something early on march 3. When i came back to homecoming, i was kicked out of game each time i tried to run one of my AE fire farms. when i selected my stories in AE the game kicked me out of the game. a window popped up with several selections to send a crash report. I selected crash report 3 times and then went back into the game. all was fine unless i tried to enter one of my AE stories. The 5th time i tried to make a new AE story, but all of my custom made toons were listed in orange. I clicked on a group anyways and was kicked out of the game. When the crash report window popped up this time, i selected the first option and filled out the report. however, when i tried to get back into the game i could not get into homecoming and i cannot get back into tequila. How do i get back into the game?
