  1. Good thing I edited it! 🙂 I read it a few times and was wondering, what exactly is he suggesting in his opening post?! So i backed down the rhetoric 😄
  2. fire/earth is crazy madness. How you feed the beast of hotfeet and mud pots is a whole different discussion.
  3. Slot bonuses from set ios. If you are running on just SOs, I would have to look at how to wing that. But on stupid cheap set ios, you can get your 45+% fire def, some half decent recharge, and pew pew away. You could totally frankenslot and still be successful with a build half SO and half ultra cheap set ios...
  4. The farmer I have in my employ constantly whines about crop circles. What am I do do with them? I mean, I am Not Saying Its Aliens, but.. Its Alien Marketeers, Flippers, And Gamblers. Should I direct my farmer to more reputable stories about farming from trustworthy sources such as Ancient Aliens? I just need my corn damnit.
  5. Redside noob mish arc. You can kill off (permanently) contacts in the arc that are also villain types in mishs, and they just wont be there. You can make friends with contacts, and then they will s how up. The (new) noob redside arcs are actually super cool
  6. portals, demons, demon portals, giant earth digging machine drill things, forcefield bots, bridge people locking at (what, 42?)...
  7. The same way that is being done _right now_. You have the playerbase do the dirty work, and when you have something that the playerbase has beaten the author into shape about, THEN you take the largely refined product and pass it to the devs for several passes before a shift out of AE and into the actual game world. Be aware that A LOT of effort goes into validating, cleaning up, and managing new mishs/arcs into the game world, much of it (hey spelling, spelling, grammar, spelling, moar spelling, possible grammar, duplicate name, duplicate task title, odd characters) which sucks up a lot of time.
  8. IS 50+4 Council Farming in PI an unbalanced method of earning rewards? No. Come on man. Because (someone) cant or dont want to farm doesnt mean there isnt a million other means by which farming is occurring that you are just ignoring. Shall we list the express route to merits and Emps and ISalvage that is used by people in the know? That is absolutely farming, and it is absolutely a more efficient way to unlock i-all-the-things. Refer the OP's comment from the willtherebeapatch thread: The only thing I don't like about Rebirth is their insistence on maintaining "the grind" as part of the core gameplay experience. If "the grind" is bad, what would make anyone (especially the OP) consider stripping away farming options? I edited some of the original post, because maybe the OP is not actually against farming and just trying to make a point, or maybe they are, but with the vagueness of language I did not want to cast aspersions when their 1 sentence comment does not clearly state their reason for the question and could be confused as to the intent of the question.
  9. I just noticed this on a reread through. It doesn't fail. It just doesnt move them. It absolutely does aggro the heck out of everything affected though, so if you want a massive taunt, itll fill them shoes just fine, movement or not.
  10. Unfortunately it is unlikely that any new content would challenge a fully incarnated twinked out char.........
  11. It takes time to get used to. It certainly isnt an instant-appreciation. Being able to teleport to and through walls and, well, everything is a major advantage. You dont get stuck on scenery when teleporting around. On any char I have with ct, I have f bound to ct target, which is great since it gets me to mobs or people in danger instantly, and lets me load up on procs and tohit to drop a big nuke/aoe/whatever as needed to try and shift the state of the fight. I admit, it took me a while to get used to ct, but now I just cant leave it behind! And tt across like, all of echo DA? Yes please to my poor teammates looking to get to adamastor.
  12. Ct/tt/fold space are amazing. Would I trade cj for tt? Proooobably not but maybe? I would probably find something else to trade for tt. This build might look strange to some, but it is highly efficient and uses teleport target _extensively_ as part of its main function. Admittedly it is using tt to move singy around, but the fact that tt is a step to foldspace, and (hopefully) everyone knows how awesome combat teleport is, creative use can be made for the whole of the tp pool excluding teleport it self which is garbage. Combat teleport is STUPID useful. Way more than cj I think, when you start loading up binds... but you dont snag that lotg.

  13. True story! I was tanking-ish on a +2/+3 team in first ward last night with great success! (elec/regen) That was even without SO level boosts, malefactored down to below 22.
  14. See, I am not sure I agree with this... I think that a lot of what you see for market movement (excluding the 3 health +ends) is just people building to an existing standard that doesn't explore other capabilities. It really is possible to build a fully functional build without a lot of these things, including prevent +absorb, pshift +end, oblits, unbreaks, so on so forth. However, we have developed a strong build homogenization through build sharing, which makes people building thing just a LITTLE differently a lot better off for the inf, and possibly not even at a performance loss but a performance gain. Winteros and ATOs are the massive drift from this though, because omg huge bonuses. But things like purples? Totally possible to work around, and the few bits of +rech difference (1.5%, when lined up with things like prevent that give 8.5?) are not going to break the bank except possibly for a dominator... tl;dr: some of these are popular because they are present in so many homogenized builds, not because they are inherently better than other possible slotting solutions.
  15. Tells have a very specific advantage: When you throw a lfm out there, you can bring people into the team, first come first served. When whatever-goes-please-broadcast happens, you cannot accurately track the order in which requests come in, so you cannot accurately headcount as you invite. PST is used for a bunch of very valid reasons, even for purposes of altruism and fairness. Moreover, blabbering all over broadcast is noisy _on everyone in the zone_, which is likely to get some people to just turn the damn channel off. This is certainly true for /z, and ive seen it true for broadcast as well. Food for thought. Your desire for broadcast is definitely impinging your wants over the preferences of others. People broadcast in the hive and rwz _because thats the only damn reason people go there_. There is no other more effective way to manage it, and everyone in the damn zone is there for a singular purpose.
  16. I hear 2:46 am is coming soon! Wait, its already here. Hashtag EST
  17. My most recent computer, with ~500 gig harddrive, 8 gigs of ram, decent onboard video, wifi, etc etc etc, $300 USD. Thats it. 🙂 Plays CoH perfectly fine. 😄
  18. Ive been working my way through redsideallthethings, but broke with tradition to go rogue long enough to get bloody hands badge from WWD. Once I get the badge and unlock the contact, I plan to make my living breaking things and stealing money.
  19. This already happens redside. You can flat out kill a contact, and thats it for them. Their phone just rings and rings and rings. I think that is better than removing from the list, as there is a legacy in your contact list that speaks to the killing.
  20. I am thinking, that in the world of a crabstermind or a ban-ader enough recharge should exist to have a seamless grenade (or at least zero redraw) attack chain. Is that true? Can you fill in the gap with another grenade? I like the grenades, they animate fast, and they are almost always up...
  21. Nobody would play it. It would be RMT all the things, with massive dependency on endless DLC, buggy to no end, and be a hollow experience. Oh wait, I dont think thats what you meant.
