hate to necro this, but that data chunk doesnt work. is it possible to just get the build file? screenshots arent super useful to someone like me that doesnt have enhancies memorized by their icons- understandable if you cant share it but thought id ask anyways

hopefully the build wasnt corrupted, unless you mean in general cant access it xD but with what i did was take mercurial bow, guarded spin, eye of the storm, SM, confront, and serpents reach. i took every power in bio except genetic contamina and parasitic aura. i wanted conserve power, focused acc, and physical perf from energy mastery. from leaping i took super jump and combat jump, haste from speed, tough weave and maneuvers and tactics

This is my first scrapper, and while i have the abilities that i want sorted out in mids, i cant for the life of me even get started on where to slot and what to put in them. its far from my expertise and frankly im just to stupid for that stuff. i would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me with this! my goal for this was mainly aesthetic/themed. i tend to make the outfit then slap powers that make the most sense with the look. so with having looked at staff fighting, i kinda just wanted all the aoe/cone abilities. i have no idea what im doing with bio arnor whatsoever. all i know is that i need both adaptation and staff mastery though 😛 Scrapper (Staff Fighting - Bio Armor).mbd

this doesnt surprise me one bit, one time i was running some DFBs to level a psionic, and the DFB leader was being extremely toxic to EVERYONE. like, i mean over the smallest things. if you werent standing there infront of the guy in atlas, you had 30 seconds to get there or be booted, as well as gloating about booting people for not switching alliances fast enough. anyone who would accidentally kill a cadaver was immediately yelled at, and once the DFB was done he would "shame" anyone who killed cadavers on broadcast. all i remember about the guys global was that it was super insensitive. something about su*c*de.

funny thing is that was another thing he was arguing about, that the UI wasnt at all the same as he knew it. yet he claimed to have been a player since beta. as time goes on i think i was just being trolled now.

as i mentioned previously, i let the person in question knew what we were going to do. i made sure and they had agreed to come along. i always run PIs at such a late hour and thought bringing them along to play would be a fun. but such a visceral reaction was not something i would expect. i had several other people in my team who were new to the game who came along that had no issues whatsoever with learning the game. ontop of that, the guy was taking absolutely none of our help to get him -out- of there. i dont think the issue is so much the fact he was new but it was just like a flip had switched from nice guy to "i hate you get me out of here but also you are wrong and everything you are saying is wrong because this is how i remember it being, not that.". we told him where the team quit button was, where the client quit button was, one person even went and gave him chat command for that and more. and after having been booted, he was still in PI for another 15 minutes even though an hour before i had given him an ouro portal and taught him how to travel with it. but his attitude was like a brick wall. ive never had this problem before helping anyone.

when he asked to leave the group, we were more than receptive to him, one person even gave the guy chat commands to both leave the team and the game should he desire it, which honestly is above what i know. despite all the help we tried to give him, he only harped on about how nothing was right and that he was frustrated. i would have kept him in the group to continue trying to help him if people hadnt started pming me to boot him because we were spending alot of time doing a whole lot of nothing. i just feel bad about the whole situation. i mean it wont stop me from trying to help others in the future but i think im gonna be a bit more wary about them. i told him exactly what he was going to get into and he still agreed. i do know that alot of this is just hearsay. im not trying to really paint the guy as a villain. i just wanted to vent a lil bit is all.

this is basically the sentiment the team was trying to give to the guy. almost nothing has changed and many of the features he was having issues with were there since beta which he claims to have been a part of. but also another part of me cant help but feel the confusion was genuine as he was still there in PI trying to find his way back to "the level 20 zone" as he put it. despite having given him an ouro to use and taught him how to use it. but it wouldnt bother me so much if this was just a random encounter. i try to make my persona as "Incubussy" an enjoyable one for people who are play extremely late at night where leveling teams are mostly dead and not only was something good i tried to do turned out to be a stinker, my mood was soured for the rest of the PI run thus ruining the experience i try to put on for the other members.

so last night i ran into a returning player and decided to help him out.. everything was going good until i invited him on one of my late night PI runs to which he agreed to do. not even 2 missions in and he starts complaining about "this isnt the CoH i remember" and "none of this was in base game". where things really flew off the rails was when the entire team tried helping him with the UI and he was nothing but combative with them. after a while of back and forth i was forced to boot him from the team because as much as i would have liked to see this resolved, i had a grind team to run. this has been on the back of my mind since and its been really bothering me. this isnt the first unsavory encounter i have had recently, but its the first ive had directly caused by trying to help someone. This was on Everlasting around 4 to 5 am ish EST? also apologies but i dont really know what tags to use for this.
