  1. I have always advocated that Galaxy be brought back as a new hazard zone featuring high end Shivans and other existing enemy shennanigans.  Longbow's main HQ used to be there, so you know there is a metric ton of tech to scavenge (like stated in Faultline).

     

    Spoiler

    Considering its destruction was the start of the Battalion story Arc, unless there is an intent for the HC devs to continue that thread without the planned power up and game change and CoH 2.0 stuff.

    Then make it a Shivan driven hazard zone, story writing for actual arc missions wouldn't be too complex; hero find this missing super weapon before X, or I seriously need my autographed Jeff Smith baseball from my of apartment in Equinox.  Or there are refugees still trapped in the old Arena that was never used.

  2. I am in the camp of having Statesman remaining dead, nothing against him and certainly nothing against Jack.  My things is dead should be dead unless there is a really really super good reason.  The lame ass crap some comics pull to bring back characters that they capped then realized oops, the fans didn't like that just effs up legacies. Make new icons, elevate existing ones.  There are enough bad decisions out there in comics and in game with regards to story.

     

    Psyche too, wearing those wretched platform boots, she deserved to die 🙂

    Well, at least you didn't reach the dreaded levels of "Bah, humbug!"

     

    So you're fine with endless repetitions of Maria Carey during the season? 

    Its not a bad song, I think its a great song actually but it has been so overplayed that it is now hated.  Therein lies the difference, the 12 Days (all versions in all dimensions) is a bad song and because it is so bad everyone keeps hoping that someone fill find a variant that tolerable.

     

    Now could 101.7 the Breeze FM play Mariah's song a little less, sure.

     

    All hail the Bumble!

  4. I love the holidays, all of them but during Christmas, I cannot stand any variation of the 12 Days of Christmas.  Eff that song and its stupid variations.  Burn in a fire you annoying repetitious sad, loser song.  Traditional or not, it doesn't matter, muppet version, Jersey version, Bob and Doug McKenzie versions, all need to be destroyed.

     

    Seriously, eff that song.

     

    Really, the hatred of a thousands super novas.

     

    Oh and Merry Holidays 🎅

    Thirty years is usually when the "everything old is cool again" kicks in.  Just look at the wave of 1980s nostalgia that kicked in about a decade ago. 

    We're just holding down the fort until the new generation joins us at age 16.   

    Well the 80s was the last truly cool decade.

    Am I alone in putting 3 slots in Health and Stamina?  I do it to almost every build.  I know a few streamers who single slot Health, they die a lot so I guess they do it for entertainment value.

    For some they slot 3 because its what they need, for others it kind of old habit.  I have a number of three slot health, often because I am leveraging the recovery procs of Numina and Miracle plus the procs from Panacea.  On my less endurance challenged I generally slot 1 (Panacea) or two throwing in a Numina proc.  But yes, I also have some single slots.  Its situational.  Stamina I almost always 3 slot unless I have powers that are giving measurable recovery boost.  That said its almost always 1 IO and a pair of Performance shifter with the proc and and EndMod.  Sometimes when I have recovery powers I will instead two slot it and put power transfer in there for the heal proc.

     

    What has changed since live and my widespread adoption of using Set IOs is when I place additional slots in health and/or stamina.  Health never before 17 (earliest to slot Miracle) and third never before 27 (numina is 30).  Stamina usually gets one at 17 and 1 at 19 for the perf shifter (if I am going there).

  7. Yeah I had 3-slotted Bombardment in there with Accuracy (ACC/END/RECH and ACC/DAM/RECH) focus and the Proc plus the other 3 damage procs.  I am slip sliding things around a bit with Geyser, Whitecap and Brine.  I am gonna swap the three slots of Annihilation which includes the -Res Proc out of Whitecap and into Whirlpool then put the three-slot Bombardment from Whirlpool in Whitecap with the rest of the damage procs in there.  An Achilles -Res also in one of the Whirlpool Slots.  I will leave the Mistral proc there for now while I realign a slot to Brine adding the Essence damage proc.  Some other minor tweaks unrelated to Whirlpool.  Thanks all for the good feedback.

  8. More Gun.

     

    I play Blasters as a matter of majority, 13 with the next closest AT being 4 (Dom).  I don't really have too many problems with being mezzed as a Blaster to where I am scrambling for a response; its part of being a Blaster.  2 BFs in the tray and some in E-Mail and we are good.  Where I have heartburn is my other shooter types like my Corruptors and Defenders.  There are always 3 BFs in the tray with them.  Also I know my enemies so I know which are more mezzy and prepare accordingly.

  9. So after all of these years I still struggle to grasp the whole pseudo pets blah blah blah some procs proc and some dont.  That isnt the issue here, just a straight up yes or no question.

     

    I have damage procs slotted in Whirlpool (4 - Positron, Mistral, Bombard and Javelin) I have not seen one hit.  AT doesn't matter here.  Yes or no, is this expected and should I strip and slot elsewhere.

    I heard the game has problems differentiating between dead and undead.  It probably thinks you are just dead dead.  No badge for you!

    He needs to be only mostly dead.

    Also, I concur with the compromise concept.  Having both allows the powerlevelers to do their thing and the ones who don't want the hangers on to do their thing.  Its mostly win-win.
