    I think they nerf farmers because it feeds their ego in some way not gonna lie.

    Sadly, 'not lying' is not the same as 'being right'.

    When people are making FAR more brutes than any other AT, something needs to be fixed.

    Sure, that's more convenient for you.  The point is using $loc is one extra keystroke (shift+4 for the dollar sign, and three letters) and is more convenient for everyone else.

    No, the way I do it is apparently more convenient for MOST people.  I'm doing it the way I have always seen everyone else doing it.

    I have never gotten a Shivan Shard.  How long does it take?

    I never timed it.  You have to visit six meteors (which are marked on the map) and analyze them with a gizmo from the scientist.

    Then you have to take over a firebase by destroying the 4 large turrets surrounding it and the 4 little turrets on the roof.

    Then use the 'ore processor' inside to process the samples and return to the scientist.

     

    The only annoying aspect is that the turrets are on a five-minute respawn timer.  You can be on the 7th turret when they all respawn.  On a high DPS character with a good travel power . . .  maybe 6-8 minutes.  On a defender or controller, I'll take out ONE turret and wait for it to respawn so I know I have five full minutes.  So 10-12 minutes if you have low DPS.

    The only thing I can think of you might be able to take advantage of (and can’t confirm this from work) would be if Rest took Heal sets, you could put the Preventive Medicine Chance to Absorb in it.

    I think Rest used to accept sets, briefly, many years ago.

    Certainly, it does not now and has not for a long time.

    Ignoring the Babbage, Synapse TF is relatively quick and easy to solo... If the spawn size has not been turned up. If the character doesn't have DPS for the CK, any single temp summons (e.g. a Shivan) ought to be sufficient. I've done exactly that with Controllers.

    And this is why I have a Shivan Shard on every single character.  My empathy defender can 'solo' stuff when he has a Shivan with Fortitude and Regeneration Aura.

    Chop one of the two boss takedowns (Bertha or Long Tom, you pick.

    Noooooo!!!!  Both of those names are just top-notch lead-ins for jokes.  I always crack wise about one or both of them when I lead the task force.  Take out a 'defeat all' but leave me my childish humor.

    Do respecs with exemplaring in mind, its totally fucking normal to take the fighting pool in the 30s/40s now.

    I wonder what percentage of players respec when they hit 50.  My girlfriend does that on every character.  I never do it.  I figure out my build as I level up and don't respec at all unless I screw something up.  I would estimate that only about a quarter of my characters have ever done a respec.

     

    As for building with exemping in mind, damn right!

    1) You lose the star.  Players should be notified of this before you start so that you can get it back ASAP.

    2) Players will drop.  However, one of the best features of this TF is that you can recruit while the TF is running!  Whut...?  Yes!  I've done it over and over.

    1) This is a common occurrence in a lot of trials.

    2) Because it's not a 'task force'.  Being unable to invite new people is a defining characteristic of task forces.  Also, I don't think there are any task forces that allow more than 8 people (i.e. one team).

    Maybe I should clarify: searching through a list of 24 names (especially with my eyes) takes too long.  Simply typing $loc in the chat is very efficient in comparison.

    Cool.  That's your preference.  Personally, I just type "Here" and so does everyone else I've done this with.  I don't recall ever seeing someone use coordinates.  I don't see that as more convenient, despite the fact that I actually have a keybind to show me my location already set up on all characters.

  8. Hey, it's me again!  Once again, there is a quest in Pokemon Go to make new friends.

    If anyone sees this and would like to be friends in the game, send me a DM.

    I'm pretty conscientious about sending gifts and, for anyone interested in Vivillon, I'm in the Polar region.

    (Don't ask.  Somehow, the 'Polar Region' includes part of the continental United States - i.e. not Alaska.)

    1. Try playing a Kin and not worry about AoE KB.

    I have three characters with kinetics.  On easy content (99% of the game), it just doesn't matter much and it certainly doesn't bother me.

    On the hard content (like Really Hard Way badge, where I always play a kin), the hard targets are AV's and no one is knocking them back.

    2. The Resist they are talking about is for all damage as well. 

    I'm well aware of that - BUT - most resist sets do NOT have high resist against every damage type.  If you have 40% resist to toxic and have the chance to add 2%, don't waste your time.  Regeneration is of equal value whether you currently have 80% regen or 300% regen.  That extra 25% will add the same HP to either character.

    Was there?  I logged in on a character I made last winter season and got nothing.

    Check your most recent badges.  I logged in three characters last night and NONE of them got a pop-up notification but they all had the badge.

  11. 1)  Knockback isn't that big of a deal, in my opinion.  No one is going to be knocking AV's or EB's around and everything else dies fast enough that they're not much of a threat if they get scattered.

     

    2)  It depends.  If you're already at, say, 85% or higher resist, one or two points more is a big deal.  If you're not that close, the regen is probably a better choice because it works against all damage types.

    I guess this has been asked before, but I am curious. I went to The Secret World

    Same here.  That game was amazing.  It (deservedly) won awards for the writing.

     

    When CoH shut down, it was the only MMO I played so I decided to branch out.  Since then, I've played Everquest 2, Red Dead Online, Black Desert Online, Divinity: Original Sin, Sea of Thieves and Elder Scrolls Online.  I also play a bunch of shooter games: Borderlands 2 and 3, The Division 1 and 2, Far Cry 3 and 6, Ghost Recon: Wildlands. I've played building/survival games for a long time - Minecraft, Starbound, Valheim, The Forest, 7 Days To Die, No Man's Sky.  And, finally, I play a bunch of 4X games: Sid Meier's Civilization 4, 5 and 6, Stellaris.

     

    So, yeah.  Once upon a time, City of Heroes was my only online game.  Now, my Steam library has 67 games and I have a few more under the Epic and Ubisoft launchers plus a few with their own launchers.

    I would love to see a link to where there is an official first day of winter.

     

    Seasons are just common usage.  Officially there are years, months, and days - but there are no official seasons.  At least as far as I know of.

    (blink blink)  Excuse me???  There are most certainly official seasons and each one starts on a specific day (which can move around slightly from year to year).

    We have the vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox and winter solstice.

    One of the Day Job Accolade powers was really useful. It allowed you to teleport directly to any Wentworth's in the city. It was great for getting to Cremora quickly for an ITF as the Midnighter's Club in Steel Canyon was right there.

    Or you can use the LFG to teleport directly to Imperious.  WAY faster than zoning to Steel to Midnighter Club to Cimerora and walking to the contact.
