Ironblade

Back on live, I had a Soldier of Arachnos who was Recluse's shiftless nephew. He had the spider backpack to look like his uncle and was named Lord Footloose.

The title question comes from a lack of knowledge. Victory was an existing, separate CoH server which has now joined Homecoming. As for merging servers - no. Bad idea.

D&D? The phrase 'vorpal sword' appears in the poem Jabberwocky, which Lewis Carroll wrote in 1871.

Honestly, I'm surprised the number is that low. I did that task force 15 times in 2024. Also, twice in the past week.

Well, if someone is going to have only one name, I guess the name has to be 'Veracor'. 😛 I do, however, have Ironblade on every shard. Just started a new one on Victory this morning.

Nonsense. Unless you're talking about REALLY low level. The 'good' content starts at level 8 (i.e. Positron TF).

(shrug) I have 36 levels 50's and you're damn right I'm keeping those names. I guess that makes me an evil hoarder / name camper.

I think you could just go with two corruptors. My ice/cold has two holds. Pair that with a strong AoE with more strong buff/debuff like fire/nature and I think that pair would be pretty powerful. With those buffs and debuffs, I think they could easily deal with AV's. I've taken ice/cold, ice/nature, fire/kin, fire/thermal, beam/kin and a second beam/kin to level 50. The beam/kins are focused on team/league damage for incarnate content. Kinetics is great, but if you're only buffing one other character, I think it wouldn't be the best choice.

A retired cop down the block from me had the entire cast of 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' in his yard. I told him that, when I was walking by, I noticed one and said, "OMG, that's Yukon Cornelius!" Then I noticed the rest of them. 🙂

Back in the day when I was collecting badges in PvP zones, having Tactics and Focused Accuracy was a big surprise to about 95% of stalkers. I only recall one ever being able to sneak up on me.

Well, on my main character it's important to me to be able to destroy Paragon Protectors running Moment of Glory. I'll typically have around 40% in each power. Then I have +57% global acc, the Kismet +to hit unique, Tactics and Focused Accuracy. When I hit Build Up, those chumps are toast. That's a bit much, but most of my characters have Tactics or Focused Accuracy. I prefer Tactics since it affects the entire team, but some builds don't have room for it and already have Energy Mastery or Body Mastery.

Cool. For me, leveling is almost never the goal, but I always want to have *A* goal. It might be a badge. It might getting a particular incarnate salvage. I have characters built for helping on incarnate trials - they're already fully finished and tier 4, but they still have a goal. And, to be fair, sometimes I do have a goal of leveling - like if I want to be high enough for a certain task force that will be featured the next week. I find it fun to have a variety of goals.

Right off, the first sentence confuses me. I almost never "level" characters; I "play" them. The leveling happens on its own. If you're playing with the specific goal of reaching certain levels, then you're doing it wrong - as demonstrated by the fact that you say you're experiencing burnout. The solution here is extremely simple and practically impossible - change your mindset so you're thinking differently about the game. As for not having the time or money for other games - 1) If you play CoH less, that frees up time. 2) Plenty of good games are 'free to play'. Also, some REALLY good games are super cheap. I've got like 1400 hours in Valheim and it's only $10.

Don't get me started on that one. "Wait, the head of the City Council is named Robert ALDERMAN? ALDERMAN?!?"

Right. I just wait until I'm done playing for the day and the team has disbanded, then I go train.
