My thugs MM's have been having their pistols disappear, even just with the first upgrade as I don't have any past 32 yet. Bit distorting watching them fire out of their bare hands. 😅 -
This is why I like running with you guys--no judgement from those of us who are still learning and a casual playstyle. And you guys are just a lot of fun to be around. I may not have participated in the convo's much yesterday because I didn't want to bring down the mood, but I was enjoying watching you all joke around and have fun. 🙂 You guys definitely feel like my CoH family, lol.

I completely understand what you're saying, but as a roleplayer at heart, I have had a really hard time so far coming up with a gravity/* controller concept that I like and will stick with. But after reading your posts here and my own experience with gravity on my dom, I do think I will have to give a grav controller a try again. Would be nice if impact worked with the assault secondaries.

@Midnyte Thank you so much for all your lovely screenshots! I didn't really get any today. I spent a lot of the runs a bit grumpy at myself for picking an AT that wouldn't be able to handle doing a level 50 TF without being kitted out in IO's and actually having something in her alpha slot. And I still just don't understand the incarnate system whatsoever, so I couldn't figure any of that stuff out on the fly to see if it would help. And constantly getting myself killed wasn't helping, haha. I don't like feeling like I'm useless. Thank you all for being patient and letting me tag along; it was nice to have a reason to get myself a first 50 since I've been dragging my feet on the matter. 🙂 I have a lot of research to do if I want to keep playing Sara.
-
Well, it's good to know that you don't have to do the Mender arc to unlock the alpha slot! 😅 I was too lazy to google how to do this stuff, so I went off what Fraulein said here. And I don't regret running the arc! It wasn't that hard and it was really interesting to read it and learn how the process works.

So far I have been soloing this with few issues until I got to the mission to defeat Holtz and the Honoree. I then proceeded to slam my head into the wall with this one and died over and over until it finally occurred to me to put some strategy in. I turned down my diff to -1/x1, died a couple of more times because where Holtz and Honoree are also have a million rikti and the portals. It finally occurred to me to try and pull each EB away from that giant clusterfuck. Demons on goto at the corner; run in and whack an EB with infrigidate, run around corner where demons are. I managed to get each EB by themself this way and my demons were able to mow them down. Sara has like 0 enhancements, lol, so I was excited to finally figure out how to complete that mission and figured maybe to share my strategy here since @Bananiac also said they're new to doing this. Edit: So Sara is now not only 50, but alpha slot unlocked and moved from Everlasting to Indom. I will see if I can't purchase some enhancements for her, but she doesn't have a lot of inf for getting her sets going (and slotting still confuses the crap out of me), but she's ready to go for tomorrow. 😄
-
Same! I ran my first Hami with Sara and got an enhancement from that, which was cool. And now I'm working on the Mender Ramiel arc that Fraulein mentioned to try and get my alpha slot unlocked. I was a teenager back when I played and my parents didn't really like or understand MMO's, so I never played seriously (I think I spent like 3+ years getting to my first 50, lol), and even once I did finally hit 50, I never did much as I was more active on WoW at the time.

I have a grav/energy dom, and it's a shitload of fun, but I can see what Tex and Mezmera are saying. I almost have too many abilities to use--do I want to set up impact or do I want to set up for energy release? Sometimes more toys to play with is not always better, haha. I feel like a blaster/blapper on this combo, but yeah, wondering if I shouldn't find another way to pair both gravity and energy on my doms since there's not as much synergy as I initially thought.
-
Oh yes, I should have thought of those! Yes, those are typically woven, if I'm not mistaken. ^_^ Are they itchy? I love the look of them, and I have a Mexican blanket I adore, but my skin is so sensitive, I'm afraid to buy one of these hoodies and have it be too itchy.
-
Sara Falin hit level 50 last night! Now to figure out unlocking the alpha slot, lol. This is all totally new for me. Not sure how slotted she'll be either.

The overarching sort of goal of the class is to ultimately design a 6 piece line of garments via Adobe Illustrator. Things like this survey are the first step into getting there. So for this first part, the output is gathering initial market data--determining your target market, your target selling area (so to speak), determining a retailer who you would want to purchase your line to sell in their store, seeing if there's interest in what you want to create, etc. Just sort of hitting the basics to build from. This is my first time doing a manufacturing company, as the previous project I have been working on throughout my years in college has been building up a children's wear retailer since this is more my area of interest--I am a merchandising major, not design major, lol, but we have to learn both sides to be well-rounded. I'm in California Polytechnic University - Pomona's Apparel Merchandising and Management Major. And yes, the fashion courses are a lot of fun! There's so much more depth in them than most people realize.
-
Oh yes, if I were actually going into production, I would actually be doing that level of detail! For the moment, the idea was just to see if there was interest in the clothing design companies that we want to create, so just a simple, 3 question survey was asked for us to create to help confirm the ideas for the "garments" we're going to create. I say "garments" because this isn't a sewing class; this is all theoretical and just intended to expand upon skills. There's a good chance that many of the people who have participated in my survey are not my actual target market from the research I've done so far, but the answers have helped with the concept nonetheless. 🙂 Thank you for your input! I truly do appreciate anyone who takes the time to look at this and leave a comment. All of this discussion has been insightful. 🙂

Most hoodies and ponchos are actually knit, not woven, otherwise you'd have an awful hard time getting them on. 🙂 Clothing that's woven would be more like anything made of actual denim (as denim fabric is a woven fabric), button up dress shirts. Easy way to tell is if the material can stretch in any direction (a woven fabric can only stretch on the bias). And on most woven fabrics, if you look closely, you can actually see the the threads criss-crossing to make the weave. And yes, sustainably sourced and created clothing is just as durable, if not moreso, than the current, cheaply made, mass produced clothing. It's one of the reasons this type of clothing costs more. 🙂 Thank you for your response! I love seeing people's thoughts and questions regarding this. 🙂

She's still a baby, but if you decide to go Earth Control, I run mine with /kin to bring a little more oomph to the low damage Earth/ powers. Others like to pair it with /storm for that oomph. I've never placed Ice/ so I can't comment to that, though @5099y_74c05's post inspired me to try an Ice/Time controller.

Demons/Cold MM - Help Me Learn to Build
TygerDarkstorm replied to TygerDarkstorm's topic in Mastermind
@DocMidknight Thank you so much for taking the time to post your build and explain your choices! I really appreciate it. I feel like I may as well be a total noob to this game, lol. I'm still a little confused and overwhelmed by everything, so I guess maybe what I need to do is download Mids and sit and study things like your build and see if I can't use them to learn how to start being able to make my own. 🙂 You've certainly given me a lot to think about; thank you again for your help! -
If you don't care about theme, thugs/storm is supposed to be a pretty damaging MM combo. I have a demons/storm MM that is a lot of fun to play; as another user on the forums once said, it's kind of like summoning the apocalypse. 😄
-
Put me as a maybe. Not real sure what we're doing yet that day since I have a young daughter and we might go up to my grandma's. I'll let you know when it gets closer to the date.
-
So, I am about to get my first 50 since over a decade ago, and that terrifies me! I was never very good at making builds, and things like Mids sort of confuse me. However, I want to learn how to understand building a character instead of just asking for somebody to hand me a build and me still not really understanding what it all means and not being able to build future characters. I think all this is why I have so many alts and no 50's... getting to the end game and trying to figure everything out is scary! That said, I still don't have a patron power thing-a-majig because... well, I don't really know anything about them; i.e. how to get them, which one to pick, etc. I don't know anything about alphas or what to do there when my MM hits 50. I went chill mastery for theme; not sure if it's good or not. I have every power in the cold powerset as I was not familiar with it, so not sure if anything there is skippable. I find the only power I don't much use out of is Frostwork. And I only have 2 pool powers - Leadership and Speed. I know I probably should go Fighting and get Tough/Weave, but I'm already so toggle and end heavy as-is, I didn't want to add more to it yet. So, with Sara Falin at level 47, I hope some of you friendly and helpful folks that are far more knowledged than myself at this stuff can help me learn how to build this character so that I may no longer feel scared about getting my toons to the level 40+ range out of fear that people will figure out I don't really know what I'm doing. 😅 And thank you in advance for any/all help provided.

If you like a fast and in your face kind of playstyle, beast/kin is a really fun pairing. Mine is level 37 I think, and while she has mostly teamed, I have done some solo stuff on her and didn't think it was too bad (granted, I don't play at +4/x8) given that she's only lightly slotted. Beasts are pretty tanky, so they handle running with /kin nicely. I also have a beasts/nature, but she's only in her teens, and a beasts/thermal in her 20's. Thermal feels like a pretty nice compliment to beasts, though it's a bit passive compared to /kin. Beasts/storm sounds like fun. 😄

Here @Jaxman100

@Midnyte Oh no worries! I love that you do that; I always forget to try and get closeups of everyone >_< I felt bad holding things up trying to get a cranky 3 year old to chill out.

Fun! I picked up the idea for a dark/EA controller from... @oedipus_tex I believe it was... elsewhere on these forums. I thought it worked with this cheesy name I came up with years ago as a teen without being as literal as my first attempt at it. I've never played dark control; it's a fun set with a really neat toolkit, and like Tex said, it has some nice synergy with ElecAff, which is a set I love to play anyway. 🙂 Now to see if I can finish the grind to 50 on Sara for next Saturday. xD Which scares me a bit because even though I played on live, trying to make builds and figure out sets and such is just new and intimidating for me as I didn't play much in the IO era of the game. Idk what the patron stuff really is or which of the APP thingies to take, lol. Incarnates, alpha.... I'm a bit overwhelmed 😅
-
I had a bit of scrapperlock today and didn't get a lot of pics, so I can't wait to see what Midnyte got! But here's some of the ones I took of our all dark run today. 🙂
-
*pants* Ok, I did it. I wasn't liking how dark blast was playing on my original corruptor idea, so on Everlasting I rolled a dark/EA controller and have spent the last few days trying my damndest to get her up to level 35 (which is hard for me y'all! Idk how to only focus on 1 character, lol), and I did it! And got her moved over to Indom so she's ready for tomorrow morning. I also have Sara Falin's name reserved on Indom while I level her over on Everlasting (easier to level there since the pop is higher and there's always stuff like PI teams and MSR's going on) and she's at level 33. Now that Tyger is at level, time to see if I can grind up Sara and Fire's Embrace. xD Anyway, point of this being that I will still be on Tyger Darkstorm tomorrow, but now as a dark/ElecAff troller 😅

Thank you for doing the survey! And that's a great example! I, personally, feel like many types of "hand-me-downs" can be considered heirlooms if they hold some special value to the person holding on to them. 🙂 Many things that have been handed down for multiple generations are often considered heirlooms as well.
