I am somewhat sure you can disable the fade on the cloak. QoL improvement at some point, but not positive. EnA is absolutely beastly, even on just generic level 25 ios. It is stupid good.

So... blasters are more damagez? 😄 edit: A dead blaster is 0 dps.

Except hey, maybe, just maybe!! their build on all generics IS done. Whoa, novel concept that, a build being 100% done on just SOs or generics.

No more tron movies?!

Re: too-easy/too-hard teams, this really boils down to I think who is running what. It has less to do with the content, and more to do with the people leading the charge. People like to feel super, and lagging behind a team steamrolling 54s is no fun. This is well agreed upon. But then, there are people that _heavily_ recruit casuals. That means, it isnt going to be +4 content. It is going to go leisurely. It will have a ringer or two that knows to be mindful of the noobs. EVERYONE will get to use their powers. The exp may not be OMG levulz 1 to 50 in 1.1 Millieseconds! (shout out to my friend Millie :). But everyone will have fun. Those kinds of teams tend to breed long term global friends of people like minded. Grab a lowbie, run a SSA arc (wwd 1,2,3,4 are all great, or 6 for the battleships!!!) on noob difficulty, AT LEVEL (dont downgrade your pimped out 50, take an actual 20's char to wwd2 for instance) with randos. Don't crank difficulty. Just walk through it peaceably! Sometimes, you can max out your powers use by, gasp, just using a char still growing, not one you kitted out with hundreds of millions of inf!

Too complicated. Mash faces. Profit. 😄

I play a LOT of chars on generic ios only. Mild set io slotting, primarily for the holy globals/procs/whatever (numi,pana,miracle,sw, the resist one, the other +def/res ones, some of those new endmod bits) and thats it. I log in to tune out. I don't want to think or stress. I want to mash buttons and mash faces/tentacles/whatevers. I am pretty sure a lot of other people agree with this sentiment as well. Over the past LOTS of years, coh has always been casual. You don't sit in front of a pond fishing for hours (literally standing there, with a stick) to get some rare piece of material to make some random piece of something. You go, mash some faces, hope for drops, market casually, and continue on your way regardless because really? You never needed that whateveritwas. You were just as hero with, as without, that pvp io, purple, ato, whatever.

6's arc, you can get a few different badges out of it based on what you do, has some cool cut scenes, some pretty tough (depending on the team) fights, and you can kill (or not kill) someone from praetoria that is a real ass. You would have to have played praetoria to know about that guy though.

I have lenses from Zeiss that are made to block computer light. They work amazingly. Yesterday I was at the beach (35 degrees!), and the sky was really vibrant shades of blue I had never seen before! I took off the glasses, and it was standard powder blue all the way. It was like being on an alien planet! I wish I had taken a pic, it was the coolest experience ever. The sun was behind me, so that didnt affect me. edit: to clarify mine are prescription bifocal transition whateverwhatnot lenses

Trick arrow support, elec affin support both have great synergy w/ fold space. Traps does as well, but by the time you lay them, everything is dead. TA: flash arrow, combat teleport in (w/ stealth proc), emp arrow self, fold space, profit. Best when paired with someone a little tougher. 🙂

This is the worst possible idea that could ever have been uttered. You do realize that, in appropriate content, multiplicative assist is REQUIRED? I would love to see someone try The Hard Way where total team buffs are 1/3rd what they currently are, or something equally foolish. You want more challenge? Play the content _already in game_ appropriate to the challenge you want. +4/8 council is NOT A CHALLENGE.

I street sweep. Definitely an effect on me!

Rolls some dice, mashes buttons, wins

CEBR: claws electric brute. Was an old school farmerbrown, extremely popular. They even had farms _specifically_ for the CEBR build

I spent all the money I had on winter packs... for myself. Not a single wintero I got from the sale will ever see the market.

Actually, 13147 is really not that good. Bosses spit out 4k less inf per kill, and the EBs wont close to melee at times and just throw ranged attacks, making you chase them down. In the time it takes to kill 1 eb, you can slaughter a raft of +4 bosses. 1 eb == 2 bosses, and if you chew through bosses fast enough, the huge toughness upgrade for ebs doesnt make the payout worth the extra time spent killing them. Plus the EBs there have a habit of not following you. Try Brigs cave or Brigs comicon asteroid. 🙂

Fold space. Mobs come to you, once you are level s hifted. On asteroid, it means YOU NEVER MOVE. Well, maybe _once_ a map. Tops.

There are no actual "natural" enemies past the warriors. Everyone in Crey are Science. You get arachnos with guns, but then most of those are science too (crabs w/ backpacks, sciencey stealth powers), leaving just the guys with machine guns... Oh, correction. You get the medics in Crey, which oddly, are natural origin (guns, med packs)

They are the proc/global/whatevers for def/res (all 4).

Wow, I love that one! I have to test it out!

THEY STILL WORK! The amount of effort to unlock the base portal (small cost from p2w), or emergency responder teleport charges (just log out next to a base portal, or in a base) is so small it is negligible at best. You have Tunnel, you have Oro. You have existing base teleport spots. There is no place you cant get in more than 2 steps and less than 30 seconds _load_ time. Oro -> talos -> (transit hub, TUNNEL, or tram, depending on your needs). You have _all three transit modes_ in 5 seconds of ninjarun/beastrun/athleticrun/regularsprint RIGHT from where the talos oro exit dumps you.

My plant/ta has, uh, 10? 11? macros for all the location powers + use of combat teleport + teleport target +other stuff. Being able to remote target or self target changes the way the character plays immensely. ct into combat, unlease an army of pbaoe madness (creepers, oilslick, emp, glue, sonic...) matched up with ranged aoe galore. It is a beastly combo, but it can be a bit to follow whats going on. I have a bumped out power tray _so i can track what is, and is not, recharging_, because macros don't have that useful info. Sadly, a lot of TA icons, uh, look the same. So i just mash them all as soon as they pop...

I assume you noticed the massive changes to the power though, which include mezprotection among other things? Powexec_location self fodder if ever.... --- This power now spawns an EMP Field at the target location that acts similarly to Electrical Affinity's Faraday Cage and provides: 15% damage resistance to all but Toxic (not enhanceable) Resistance against End Drain and Recovery Debuffs Protection against status effects and knock back

Procs. You get +6% def in tough, +8ish% resist all in weave, + lotg. That is a lot of juice. If you arent using set IOs, maybe it is more palatable to skip, but its a lot of durability in the pool....
