Triumphant

Vorpal, I think, is actually the best Judgement. I often take it, but I'm a stickler for theme, so if one of the others makes more sense, I take one of those (pyro for fire dudes, cryo for ice dudes, Ionic for lightning guys and what not. As MoonSheep says, whichever one you pick, you're getting a pretty powerful nuke that is up every 2 minutes. But in terms of comparing them on the basis of raw performance, I agree with you that it's hard to think of a reason why cryo would be a better choice.

My favorite is the Romulus transformation cutscene during ITF, because some player always says something incredibly cheeky which shows up in the PCs chat bubble on-screen in the background. I love that. 😄

For whatever reason, this produces no interest in my comic-book loving brain, whatsoever. 🤷‍♂️

Ditto. Much obliged. Actually, while I'm here, thanks for Kallisti Wharf. Love the look. Love all the new contacts and stuff I can do there. New enemy group is tough and interesting to fight. Just really happy with the game, all around! Okay, I'll ease off on the gross fan-boy talk now. You guys get back to work! *snaps whip* 😝

Six years of regularly playing this game, and I had no idea that this was the case. Always learning new things!

I alternate between my low and high level characters, because I'm mainly doing the ToT to get Prismatic Aethers. I admit that my lower level characters are not as helpful, apart from knocking on doors, because they typically die every 30 seconds if they become engaged in combat. My higher level toons help a lot though, both in opening doors and killing stuff in combat. The OP is great, and chocked full of good advice, except the respeccing into Leadership thing. No- sorry. I'm not going to THAT MUCH trouble to be helpful. If you're expecting that, you're gonna be disappointed. 😝

Thanks for the video. That was certainly an exhaustive treatment of the subject. I remember playing on several MUDs and MUSHEs back in the day. Always fascinating to consider how they have evolved since then. I love the idea of sandbox games, but I think that one thing that has worked against them, is that often the individual activities (crafting, trading, whatever) is often a dull, tedious task- rather than a fun mini-game. I think many players want the kinds of immersion that this level of granularity and detail brings, but without the hum-drum boredom that comes with the real-world equivalent.

I've been guilty of this the last two times that I've played a ranged toon on ITF's. It's because I haven't made targetting macros for those characters yet, and I've been lazy about doing it. I'll try to get that fixed before I sign up for another one. 😝 On the other hand, I DO see that as primarily the task of ranged AT's. So, if I'm playing a melee dude in an ITF, don't expect me to take care of that unless the surgeon is standing right next to me.

That would be a welcome change, yes.

Check Discord and search supergroups there. Also, joining the City of Roleplay discord might be helpful to you.

I don't know why people do it now, whatever the rewards might be. If the rewards were doubled, I still would not do it. It remains one of the most boring raids in the game. Spend 3 seconds per pylon, knocking them down. Set the bomb to get past the shields. Spend an interminable amount of time in a huge glob, in the middle of the mothership, hammering buttons until the mission ends. *Yawn*

At this point, the only change I would like to see to Sentinels is improved range. I think they're great all-rounders, but the range is just a bit too restrictive IMO. This can be somewhat overcome by the ATO's and certain Incarnate powers, but it's a very late-game fix to a problem that plagues you throughout character advancement. I'd like to see all the Sentinel Primary power sets get a 10 or 15 ft range bump.

They have this in Star Wars The Old Republic. You can invite another character to a friendly duel. I've never had anyone ask me to duel (nor extended the offer to anyone else). If I remember correctly, there is also a toggle in settings that allows you to always accept or decline the duels, similar to how you can go to Null-the-Gull here, and decline other players travel powers or the tarot power. As long as it was set up like that, where you could opt out of it if you wanted, I have nothing against the idea.

Huh. Weird. I wonder why it was coded that way in the first place?

Well, my comment was in reference to the OP, but as regards your situation, what @macskull said in the post above. I feel the same, particularly with regard to superspeed/speed of sound. Though I do wonder if that might cause problems with serious inbalances in PvP (Just wondering. I don't PvP, myself. Plenty of people do, though.)?
