[How is one supposed to beat Silver Mantis?]

What I did to beat her was re-calibrate the Rogue Isles Med-Com Teleport system to trigger a transport attempt but to only transport the metal in her body.  So when it activated she was turned to a puddle of goo.  All the copper in her blood; gone.  I didn't even realize calcium was a metal.  The smell of Chlorine was overpowering afterwards.

This is why we cant have nice things.

[Wikipedia and City of Heroes (not the Homecoming Wiki)]

I just edited the source citation to remove the "allegedly" part.  Regardless of alleged or not, the cited source DID NOT say alleged, that was the wiki editors interpretation.  However I will not edit the actual statement at the top due to the fact that we do in fact only have Homecoming's word that there is a license agreement (which I believe that word to be true), I wont get into a edit war without a second source.

Sometimes you have to be honest with people.  You don't tell a person who cant sing that they sound great because they try out for American Idol and make themselves and everyone around them look like fools.  Dont laugh at jokes that are not funny and dont say they are funny because getting hit by a bottle or three at an open mike night hurts more than the truth.  Just because a persons parents said to their child that they had talent doesn't mean you do; parents are supposed to say that until it becomes delusion.

 

To the OP here, I am not saying you don't have talent, nor am I saying the person who made the music doesn't have talent.  Many people in this post have tried their best to put a positive spin on things; be impressed by powershell skills and such.  Or giving you tips on how to improve the work.

 

But the bottom line is that the video isn't good and the music is mediocre at best.  To say otherwise is feeding delusion instead of improvement; mediocrity shouldn't be rewarded.  To many people take silence to be acceptance or approval because too many people chose not to speak for whatever reason.  Constructive and even negative commentary does not equate to mean spirited.

[Stupid Telekinesis tricks]

Hey!  Don't go knocking Wormhole 🙂 .  I use it to good effect solo and on teams.

[Have you ever made a Praetorian version of your existing characters (or vice versa)?]

No.  Back on live when CoV was introduced I created a "twin" of High Beam named Low Beam, I explained how her personality was copied but just the bad girl part.  Science or some BS like that.  Corruptor.  Ran her to 50, bored and essentially shelved her.  No Praetorians though.

[funniest thing i read all day]

You know, someone had to actually say to themselves, "Hey I am gonna hang out in atlas park as this monkey."  Then had to decide to use the doors out or possibly someone casting an O-Portal or maybe taking the Base portal.  Hoppity Hopping slow boat style.  then got all panicky after minute ten in AP thinking that it might be permanent then bugged it.

 

Then again I panicked the first time I got the Vahzilok Wasting disease desperately asking for the sure.

[Arsenal Sleep Grenade missing damage since March 12 update.]

Same here.  Haven't played mine in a bit so didnt notice till now.  Ran a Mayhem and no damage.  Shelving until fixed.

GL.  I don't know whats wrong here but suddenly none of the images you post (present and even past) are showing up yet I see images others have included in quotes.  I used to see them but something changed.  I am still running my side to the ground (browser check and all that).

 

Doh!  Just saw the post you responded to.

[Champions Online]

I and about a dozen Babes of War all jumped onto CO when CoH sunset.  We all played for a minute then realized it just wasn't good, not just not CoH, but not good (except for the costume creator, I would love to see some components of that in CoH, I miss my lateral rifle backrack).  I stuck it out a bit because I used to play the pen and paper RPG (along with MSH and V&V) but walked.

Electric needs all the damage it can get, so I wouldn't skip them, but they don't compare to Animate Stone, Singularity, Umbra Beast or even Jack Frost. They are similar to Fire Imps and seem to have the same AI. 

• Like Fire Imps, they are summoned at -1 to your level. They only have S/L/E resistance and no mezz protection. If you don't buff/heal them, they will die a lot.
• They have 2 attacks, Electric Brawl (melee) and Jolting Chain (ranged), plus a damage aura. They are programmed to prefer melee.
• Other than -end and KD in Jolting Chain, they have no debuffs.
• They are quick to run off and aggro other spawns, particularly if there are runners.

But . . .But they have electrolytes which Plant Controllers crave.

Often with the 5th Column I would say "Master Race, more like Smashed Your Face."

[Weird Noob thing you did in CoH/V]

Accidentally CTRL-clicked an attack power and didn't realize the green ring and when I selected a target it would fire and I was like WHT.

[What difficulty you play at (solo)]

mom always said that all you need is a free hand and a will to live.

 

Like many I am a 0/+1 person because of the story.  I solo about 1/2 of the time (often not enough time to participate in a TF).  Now Melee types with their armors I will bump up a little, say +1x2 or +1x3.  Some will have Bosses turned on because a challenge isn't such a bad thing.  AV's are EBs though because again, I am not looking for a slog.

 

The exception is when I feel one of my characters is really good, good enough to test the waters of higher difficulty; there are a few, +2x5, +3x5 and +4x5 but the giant mob deal kind of bugs me (aesthetically).  I am tempted to try and take on some AVs solo but again, consistent play time and fun defines my settings.  I appreciate that they exist because while I do play a lot and have played for a very long time, I am no elite player and like the fact that with the exception of TF/SF/Trial, I can play most of the content solo if I want to.
