They are also available in Ouroboros. I did them ALL there in order to get all of their badges.

Currently, play other games. Back on live: - I ran a top 40 SG with two sister SG's - I was an officer in two other SG's, one of them in the top 10 - I was a member in a couple other SG's, including one with specific participation requirements - I ran TF's and trials for my SG - I ran TF's on Saturday with open sign-up on the forums Eventually, I got burnt out, conveniently right about when the game shut down anyway. So I moved on to other games and didn't even join guilds in them, let alone run a guild. Now, I'm back in CoH and have reformed my SG but only with a handful of people I knew from live or that I know in real life. But I'm also playing 7 Days To Die, Red Dead Online, Civilization VI, Warhammer: Verminide 2 and a few other games on a regular basis. I don't lead any scheduled stuff in CoH - just random TF's when I feel like it - but I have 17 characters at level 50. TL/DR version: If you're burning out on CoH, just stop.

I don't use Mids. I'm a neanderthal.

Interestingly, Sentinels (and ONLY Sentinels) already get exactly this power. It's called 'Instant Regeneration' and it's a toggle that builds up an Absorption shield. I don't know the max shield offhand. My /regen Sentinel is 37 so far and the set feels really strong on a Sentinel. My main is a broadsword/regen scrapper.

We see these on Everlasting often enough. I was an an all-defender Dilemma Diabolique. It was embarrassing - for the enemies. Not a single player died. Even the Sentinel of Mot couldn't touch us. Just one or two days before that, I saw someone advertising an all-radiation (primary or secondary) ITF.

Just curious; 'Blue Screen Of Death'?

The entire prestige system was scrapped, so a single person can start an SG and build an entire town for their base. So not as much pressure/need to have members at all. My impression is that this has resulted in many more small/solo SG's.

I guess my mileage varies. I have literally NEVER heard that except when I volunteered to bring a different character if something else was needed. But that volunteering is on *MY* terms and only when *I* feel like it. Also, I observe that you say it's 'friends' saying this and they're asking for a specific other character, indicating they are familiar with you and your stable of characters. Based on that, I would say you need to find better people to hang around.

Keep in mind, if they're reading on their phone, they don't see the signatures.

Yes. I've done this many times. I wait by the stones and take out the first group. Then I run and kill a random group. Then run back to the stones and wait for the next group. Repeat as nauseam.

"Because RNGesus hates you." "Can I have your stuff?"

How would you farm damage that would require multiple accounts? One of the best ways I'm aware of is to use a Rikti mission and use Rest in front of a +2 lieutenant (the kind that only uses the big sword in melee).

I think we could give more informative answers if you told us at least a little about how you like to play. Do you want to complete missions as fast as possible? Do you like running solo at a larger team size so you can mow down groups of enemies? Do you want to solo AV's and elite bosses or avoid them? Are you okay with 'clicky' powersets or do you hate them? Tanks have the best survivability but are slow when soloing. Although I do find them fun to solo. I've taken every tank armor set to level 50 at least once. I've also taken every archetype to 50 except Sentinel (my first Sentinel is currently 37). If I was going to make a new character to solo to 50, I'd probably go with a scrapper or brute. My main/badger is a scrapper and I have a 50 brute also. If you're not turning up the difficulty, any defense set is good enough. If you don't want too much clicking or to worry about END issues, I like ice, SR and willpower. Ice is a little clicky, with a heal and a defense and END boost. My main is /regen but it's very clicky and a lot of people feel it underperforms. Dark armor is strong, but END is an issue, especially if you won't have IO's. Bio armor is good all around and lets you customize it on the fly with Adaptation. Stone is strong, even before Granite, but a lot of people don't like the visual effects. Shield gives you a fun attack in the armor set. It also has good ally buffs but I guess that isn't applicable for a soloer. Having said all that, once upon a time controllers were the main farmers. Dominators give you control and a damage secondary. Do you like control powers? I've taken multiple blasters to 50, but wouldn't recommend one for solo-only, especially without IO's. I also wouldn't recommend any of the HEATs/VEATs unless you enjoy playing them.

This is annoying. The knockback protection IO's don't work because they are classified as 'globals'. Meanwhile, the IO's that are classified as 'procs' work fine. I expected to have endurance issues in this SF because I would be losing my set bonuses. However, it wasn't as bad as I expected and I checked the combat monitor to try to figure out why and IO's like the Miracle +recovery were working normally. Some IO effects don't qualify as "set bonuses" so they still work on the Old School settings.

I agree. I always say when the team is full. I will also send a personal tell if it's manageable. If one person sent a tell too late, they get a personal reply. If six people all sent tells at once, not manageable.

I think you're wrong on the second part. You send them a tell *AND* you post in LFG that you are full, otherwise you are likely to keep getting tells and disappointing more people.

Right. I didn't go into detail when I typed "Fire everything off", but we use Ultimates, Hybrid, Lore pets, Destiny, other inspirations (in that order). This way, everyone is buffed to the max when we charge in and it makes it MUCH less likely that people will die - compared to doing all your summoning/buffing in the middle of a battle.

That's what 'they' want you to think.

You should absolutely go on any of these, even if you have zero clue I will say that, for the incarnate trials, they will often indicate what level you need to be. Like you mentioned they wanted +3 for MoMAG. They wanted you to have all 3 incarnate level shifts for Master of Magisterium. You would also want to be level 53 for Dilemma Diabolique. But the easy ones, like BAF (Behaviour Adjustment Facility) and Lambda (Lambda Sector), you just need to be 50. The easy ones are how you get your components to level up for the harder ones. The other stuff - Sewer Trial, Barracuda, Transcendence, Dr. Quaterfeld, Eden, Recluse, Market, Ms. Lib, Sara Moore - these are NO PROBLEM AT ALL. Pretty much anyone can lead these (some easier than others). Dr Q and Sara Moore can be led by monkeys they are so easy. Also, FYI, Dr Q can be soloed - it has no AV's. On Everlasting, this stuff gets run every night. Today's schedule (posted on the Everlasting TFs Discord and global channel) for 7:30 to 10PM EST was: Master of Lord Recluse Dilemma Diabolique - all badges Keyes - all badges Lord Winter's Realm Typically, they finish with some time to spare before the 10PM Hamidon raid and someone will run casual iTrials (usually BAF and Lambda).

Necroing this post to get some feedback: What overall tactic is used on each shard and/or by each group that runs this? 1) Take Tyrant down to a specific HP percentage, then fire off everything (Ultimates, Lore pets, Destiny buffs, other inspirations, etc). 2) Fire off everything just before first engaging Tyrant. On Everlasting, we used to use method 1 and take him down to 40% HP before powering up. We now use method 2 and it seems preferable because having massive buffs before engaging results in less deaths, compared to buffing in combat.

You can get all the common components from content (except the G'rai Matter, which you mentioned). In case anyone doesn't know this: Penumbra of Rularuu - Cathedral of Pain Dimensional Keystone - Dr. Kahn TF or Barracuda SF Ancient Nictus Fragment - Imperious TF Essence of the Incarnate - Ms. Lib TF or Lord Recluse SF

I run the Weekly Strike Target to get a Notice of the Well and break it down. As for the option of just using threads for everything, I do a blend. Typically, I'll use shards for the T1 Alpha, threads for T2, then shards again for T3. I don't want to use all threads since I want to immediately get T3 in Lore and Destiny for the level shifts as soon as I unlock them. I generally slot Lore and Destiny before Interface and Judgement. Then, since the shards are going to keep accumulating, I end up using shards to get my T4 Alpha - if I'm actually going to bother with T4 on that character.

The links in his signature, which I believe do not show up if you are browsing the forums on a phone. I'm guessing he was referring to the one named 'Migrating Files From An Older Installation', which links to a forum thread:

A friend of mine had a d20 that repeatedly rolled badly so he smashed it with a hammer. Then he put the fragments in the pouch with the other dice - as a warning to them.
