Triumphant

Ah, okay! Thanks for the clarification. 👍

I'm afraid that compacted (and rather complicated) synopis has only confused me. So, basically, I have no idea what you're talking about (Granted, I haven't read the particular comics that you mentioned. This probably makes perfect sense to someone that has read them). You do have me curious, though. 😄

Play whatever seems interesting and come back and ask for advice if you feel frustrated at any point. This game is a ton of fun and many of us have played obsessively for years. Once you figure out the mechanics your biggest problem will be deciding which powersets and ATs to try NEXT. Because you're going to have so many ideas for cool characters and there are a mind-boggling number of combinations you can try. Have fun and welcome to our weird little family of comic book gaming nerds! 🤓

My goal isn't really to get as little as possible for my sales. It's just to simplify and expedite the process, so I spend as little time as possible doing the selling of it. The only reason I sell things is to get enough influence to outfit any characters I want to equip. I get many of millions of influence for selling my good stuff at 1 inf, which allows me to outfit my toons, so I don't need to spend time setting the price (or converting, flipping, and selling, or anything else. Although, I do farm occasionally. I don't mind doing that so much. At least I'm playing the game after a fashion, when I'm doing it). I do also sometimes sell things at 11 or 111 influence, by accident, if my "1" key sticks on my keyboard (which it occasionally does).

"Don't KNOCK it, till you try it." 😜

I think it's a cool idea. Always did love that IDF missile launcher.

They're fairly similar, so I don't know if there's a major reason to select one over the other. But some people take them both, because it adds another cone to the old repetoire, as it were. The effect area on Spinning Strike is pretty small, so folks often want a bit more juice for attacking multiple mobs at once. I'm thinking about doing it, myself, when I respec at 50 with my Street Justice/Regen Brute.

*Bolded/Italics part mine. That's pretty much my main gripe about any Disney series. They're all essentially 80's TV mini-series, rather than actual TV series, which makes it very difficult to really give actors a chance to connect with their characters and the writers to really refine the story and understand the characters as the actors portray them. In the old days, you had TV series that ran multiple seasons of a couple dozen episodes per season. So the first season of most new shows would generally be anywhere from "meh" to "good" during the first season, and wouldn't actually get good until seasons 2+. but then shows could be really exellent. Modern streaming series don't really give the shows time for the flavor to meld, so to speak. And the fact that they cancel the shows if they aren't immediately multi-trillion-billion dollar cash cows doesn't help things, either. The cancelling thing has annoyed me to the point that I stop paying for streaming services that do this. Eventually, perhaps I'll just stop watching television series altogether, because of it. If they're going to keep cancelling quality series before they've had a chance to run their course, I'd just rather spend that time to read a book.

I've never seen anything show in the list as for sale for 1 inf, but I sell everything from white salvage to purple enhancements at 1 influence each. Maybe sometimes things actually do sell for 1 influence? I've never had that happen, but I suppose it might be the case. If it is the case, whether that's by design or a bug, I have no idea.

Hard to answer. I'm also new to the set (Dark Blast/Psionic Armor Sentinel) and slowly learning it myself (and most likely doing a poor job of slotting). I'll try to get back to you when I've had more experience (character is mid 30's right now). I usually need to play a new set all the way to 50 and then respec and tinker, before I get something workable. Plus using incarnates to plug various holes. Playing the set is a necessary part of the process for figuring out what to slot (for me, I mean).

C'mon, man. Don't misrepresent. The reason we did it was specifically to annoy you. 😁 My Hobbies: TTRPGs and Board games on Roll20. Films and Television. Listening to NPR. Hiking/walking my dog. Reading. Science. Philosophy. Brooding. Misanthropy.

I would like to support a more limited version of this: Specifically, when doing radio/paper missions, a power that would allow me to teleport immediately to the detective/broker when bank jobs come up. I don't mind being asked to do the bank jobs, but it's extremely annoying that I can't just call these guys on the radio to tell them yes or no. It makes no sense, either from a mechanical or a logical story persepctive.

Never been able to get the hang of Dominators. I know they can be good (I've been in teams where they're used to great effectiveness). Something about the play style just doesn't gel with me, for some reason. As for why to play them? I mean, I think you answered your own question: A plant/ma dominator named Broc-Li. I can't think of a better reason to choose an AT. 😁👍

And there are a few enemies that are quite vulnerable to lethal. I'm thinking of Mu mystics, specifically. When fighting them with my energy melee brute, which basically wrecks everything it hits, the Mu Mystics soak a lot of that damage like a tank. But if I use my savage melee or Stj brute, I can shred them like tissue paper. Every set has strengths and weaknesses, advantages and drawbacks. Sometimes a set (even a ranged or melee set) is less about raw damage than damage + various buffs/debuffs/soft controls or whatever. But like Luminar suggests, if playing solo, try to avoid fighting enemies particularly resistant to your attack type. In a group, you've got teamates to buff you and/or plug that vulnerability, so it isn't a big deal.

Totally agree. I have a ton of sub-par theme builds. It's fun to RP themand fun to try to get them competent enough to run in PUGs. When you can come up with something that is at least survivable in +4/8 group play, there's a weird satisfaction in that.. 😁👍

All I know, is I want Ninja Nun with a Shotgun as an actual comic book. And maybe we could get an Axe Cop crossover. I'm here for it. 😁👍

Sentinels are actually pretty good now, since the buffs they recieved a few issues back. Also, a lot of fun to play, IMO. Granted, such things are subjective. I do think something like a DP/MA blaster might better model the matrix movies, though. Or maybe a DP/Time Defender. Not sure. 🤔

I vote yes to all of these but, hey- I love titles. 😁🤷‍♂️

I've often wished for this, as well- though for different reasons. I don't know if it is possible without the Devs going into the game to reset something. In your particular case, there's certainly a valid reason for needing to do so, so maybe they can help you out with that. Or maybe it's not possible. I have no actual idea how it works, tbh. 🤷‍♂️

The giant 5th column walkers in Imperious TF have open hatches where you can see the cockpit. So these, at least, are piloted vehicles like a kind of dieselpunk mecha. I always felt like the malta bots and council mekmen were fully automated. Not sure why- they just give me that vibe. Especially the mekmen, which feel like classic evil robot minions. Nemesis are clearly organic as you can see the shapes of the dudes floating inside (well, the War Hulks, at least). Not as sure about those little quad brass guys with the pop-out flame throwers.

OMG!!!.... please... stop... killing me with.... laughter.... *hurk* 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love it on a Brute. My Savage/Super Reflexes is one of my favorite characters. 👍

So sorry for your loss. Sounds like a wonderful person who made a great impression on those who knew her.

Nothing. Gloom is for vampires and goth girls. Werewoofs are pure, unbridled rage. You made the right choice. 😄👍

So, you would be like multiple-man or dupli-kate. Cool. A version of mastermind I might actually play. I vote yes. 👍
