I did DP/SR Sent and it is fun.

My Blaster is currently level 44 and the small amount of research that I've done it seems like Invention Enhancements seem to be better than SOEs at higher levels so my question is when should I spend the time/money on invention stuff? I figured I should just wait until at least 47 so that I can slot level 50 Enhancements. I have 4 Blaster's Wrath in one of my powers currently, and I know the merit enhancements seem to be decent as well. I'm not really looking to min-max but I'd like my character to be able to solo at least lvl+1 stuff. I'll worry about Incarnate once I get there. Thanks

I guess I'd like an overall bigger map, one that essentially fills the whole screen. The zoom is somewhat annoying as it resets, and sticking to my current location means I can't move around it when I want to search for something specific. It likely won't be as big of an issue once I get accustomed to the zones again, but as of right now it is hard to navigate.

Size of the map and general quality of life. Its frustrating to me to have to zoom in on the tiny map to find things. I'm not sure if its even possible but an easier way to move and sort Enhancements without having to drag them from each page, and an overall improvement on how the UI looks. I know I can change the size of the windows and positions, but they are clunky.

Hi there, I've been playing with some friends for about 3 weeks now and I forgot how small and non-modern the in game UI is and feels. Having looked around here, I see there are various mods but its hard to tell what some of them do. Is there a better in game UI mod? Thanks

Sorry if it has already been posted here or elsewhere but Arachnos Archetype gear/costume/equipment/backpacks/etc. available for everyone.

I'm looking for some advice on how to manage the amount of powers I'm getting at higher levels as a Blaster, but I expect this is an issue with all classes. I'm not a min-maxer, and really just playing casually with some IRL friends as we haven't played the game in almost 20 years. I'm currently level 32, looking up the leveling chart I will be getting 6 more total powers, and already have 15 powers that are used in a fight to some degree, with maybe 6-8 being used constantly while the others are situational or buffs of some kind. Ancillary powers can add up to 5 more, and I'm essentially out of space on my original 3 bars now and have long been out of easy hotkeys. Any advice on how to manage this? Having played CoH back in the day and only played modern MMOs recently I'm overwhelmed with the power selection and I don't remember what I did years ago. Thanks

I'd like the option to change the default forward flight pose. I know its somewhat possible to make it look like you are flying using Fire, or Ice, or whatever, but the generic flight pose doesn't change at all even when selecting one of the options. For example I have an ice/ice blaster and I'd really like the option to use the slide pose when flying forward to make it look like I'm sliding around like Iceman or Frozone. I'm using the Void Skiff right now plus some auras and it kind of works but the void Skiff is too big and bright so it makes it look silly. If anything else, an invisible Void Skiff would work as well.

True, but it uses the Flight pose which is what I'm trying to avoid. I've set my flight to Slide stance but that seems to do nothing. I did manage to get the void skiff, and while it does sometimes look a bit silly, it works for what I want.

I'm a bit sad that there are no options for powers from Recluse as I feel the 4 available powersets won't vibe with my Arachnos Soldier. Would I be nerfing myself too badly if I didn't take a Patron Power? I'm heavily leaning into Crab with pets and group support, so my thought was to take Mace but only use the summon power.

in game global is @ajchvy

I have not, and thanks. Played the game for quite a while back in the day and left after about a year into Villains originally being released.

That is not my Global name. It's Frozogirl or something. I'm at work right now so I don't have access to the game.

Hey I'll take some free influence lol. Only been playing a bit over a week so I think I have a combined 300k across my characters so far.

Thanks, this is I what I was hoping for. Not all I need to do is get 1mil inf lol.

Great thanks, I like the idea of the crab backpack but wasn't sure how much it changed the class.

I did see that there is a Void Skiff from the P2W vendor but I'm reading that it turns off all other powers so I wouldn't be able to keep power slide on with my custom effect.

For Crabbermind would that be taking both summon powers available and staying support with all of the party buffs?

I've made and Ice/Ice Blaster and I wanted to recreate an Iceman/Frozone style of travel power where they slide around on a sheet of ice that they create in front of themselves and haven't found a great way to make it work. I know the game has limited options and so far Power Slide is ok, but you can't fly, and with Fly, you are set to the flight pose. Anyone have a recommendation as to a better way to recreate sliding on ice that also allows me to essentially fly or glide? Thanks

Not sure if this has been tried but I'm thinking of going Dual Pistols/Super Reflexes with some powers from Presence in an attempt to be a dps/off-tank. the main idea is to dodge tank with super reflexes and the occasional self buff to not die, and provoke to keep aggro. I can somewhat see where at higher levels this combo could be some kind of tank and as I'm only playing with some IRL friends I feel like it could work. Any thoughts on this?

I'm really liking the kit so far on Arachnos Soldier but I had a few questions about Crab/Bane. I'm only level 12 and have only taken the ranged abilities and some of the party support stuff and I really like the "squad leader" style of play that it seems to reward. As for Bane and Crab, it looks like the class moves away from what I've been doing and goes into full dps instead of support and had a few questions about how the class plays at higher levels. Do I keep the Soldier abilities when swapping to the sub-classes or do they get replaced? If so, why does the Soldier have an ability that is unlocked at 30 when you can switch at level 24? If I wanted to keep the "squad leader" playstyle, it seems going Crab is the better option. I'm also sad that I'll lose my cool SMG. Any help or thoughts or general advice would be appreciated. I'm not looking to min-max, mostly playing with some friends.
