Right, I read that, and literally thought the entire time: Why don't you buy some yourself? What's stopping you from getting Inf to buy the IO's/Winter packs back then? That deal went on for...2 or so years? I dunno. During that time, couldn't you of bought some too? Maybe saved up, or used your 50s to get merits/emps(back when conversions were a thing) to get the inf to buy them/flip 'em? My point is: How is it possible for "Have-nots" to exist, when you pretty much get inf thrown at you for being patient/playin through arcs/mishs *"you" is used to address the people who identify as Have-nots as a whole, not you specifically Snarky 😄

Expand on this. This isn't RL markets with RL billionaires. It's CoH. I'd like to understand the concept of "Haves" and "Have-nots".

They want to force people to team with them is my honest opinion. What they don't know is we still probably will do like HC now. Get a farming toon and go on our own. Least I know I would.

Rebirth is a thing. You’re not gettin a server for this, and certainly not a lot of players on it if you did. I hate to be the grinch who stole Christmas but since this topic keeps recycling, I think it bears saying. Remember the variables surrounding your time to play back then: -Less responsibility. -less options for well put together MMOs(ehhh that one’s STILL up in the air imo) -More patience from the community(The rules and responsibilities were different back then) This server I think would go the way of the dodo after a time. 5 people teaming regularly at low end, 100 at BEST on high end, yes, even on HC.

The base, sure, if it's public that is. That, I think, would be cool. If it's honestly just a group of close friends, it still can get a liiitle like the prison experiment, but I'm sure with a smaller group size that can be nipped in the bud. Go for it I guess, OP

I've seen this in exactly TWO pieces of content: Manti and Council TFs(They really gotta stop bringin in the recruits fresh off the streets :P). It is more than likely a flaw. It never happens in any other group in the game, making it more glaring of a flaw.

Best to read about the prison experiment before attempting this. I don’t think it would go well, if I’m being honest.

Well, imo, 4 star is a big waste of time. It's no more difficult than 3, mechanically speaking, but it is a huge stat boost to enemies. I figure, why waste time running a 4, when a 3 & some iTrials will net you almost the same returns, and is more time effective. Barrier cycling is kinda case n point. The stat boost are the only "challenge" in HM 4, so folks realized that and cheesed it.

I assume the rest of your build is SOs? If so that's why. SO's will feel rough compared to an IO'ed out build, or even compared to say, the performance shifter +end IO. Give it some time to get there! For mine, he practically doesn't have end issues, and DEFINITELY doesn't with ageless radial. Stj/SR as well. Give it some time to flesh out before dumpin em. SR on IO's is a thing of beauty imo.

Interesting, but I'd need to see it before passing full judgement on it.

I'd recommend playing the Dev Choice, if you want AE story mishs.

Mine never seems to struggle against the majority of content. The trick is to not build for only Fire res 😛 Gotta second whoever said Kinetic Melee. It's...probably solidly the worst. No extra crit or interesting gimmick besides punitive -damage and no real worthwhile build up. That puts it as a garbage tier set IMO

I see PAPs going to 5m. Which I think it’ll stick at or around. More than selling boosters but still less than just outright flipping things with more work. I’ll compile the aether I have and make one last big sell in December when I think they’ll be unveiling the snowmen costumes and be done with the stuff

I would proc FT not AS. AS is for stalker steath ATIO(and the rest of the set. But that's mostly my OCD at this point :P). But yeah Ice/Cold stalker is very nice 😄

Rogue for me. Seemingly heroes aren’t in the business of actually fixing anything, so why not go Rogue? I like the bird, makes for quick swaps on the fly for accolades when needed Not too sure how I’d make it different. Maybe clean up the tips to better reflect alignments and create real choices?

Blasters don't usually go squish. But I guess if you want a easier time of things, then go for Ice/Cold corr or fender.

I-hm. Crazy random BS at the most inopportune time. Yeah that's...that's sometimes Flori-I mean-Excel.

Indom is the Wyoming of HC.

When I'm on Everlasting it feels like I'm back in '09. Catgirl Demon whatever else hybrids galore. The team banter to me was always campy, but at least it was there. I do prefer Excel now though, much better teaming options for a variety of content as opposed to the SAME blueside TFs or the SAME itrials OVER AND OVE- *ahem* Everlasting has its' appeal though, for those who like the RP scene.

Mine tanked a +2 Reichsman over two brutes. I've turned weirder things into a tank though. (Earth/Ice/Fire dom). Sents make for more consistent off-tanks, whereas Blasters for me are very much a "I need to know what this powerset does before I try and break things" kind of AT. Not to say sent doesnt FEEL safer, just...blasters only go plop if folks aren't prioritizing the right kinda defense. Or if you're not familiar with a set(I have caused some embarrassingly bad faceplants for myself due to not knowing the ins/outs of certain powersets. I will do it again :P)

Whenever it comes to anti farming as of late I assume it’s someone with low or no inf mad because someone else found a way to gain inf faster without the need of others. To which I say: Check the guides section on making Inf. Farming isnt the only way, and you can get your inf through markets(faster and more) or through a number of alternatives!

Time and place? And who sets it? I think the original post you quoted, while a bit blunt, is 100% correct and your post only adds to it’s validity. This is not City of HEROES, it’s a game. ERP is odd and not to my liking, but then again I don’t generally RP much overall. When I see these bios, unless it’s explicitly against Conduct, I ignore it. THAT is the grown up option.

Wait hold up Null is an option now?! Great. Now I gotta make a druid. *grumble grumble rising inflation for builds in CoH*

I can’t speak for them but I know the first thing I thought about them was ”Oh boy here comes ‘09 again with the Chibi craze” I dont hate them but I get why others do. I may or may not ever get one, as I’m not big on Chibi-style…anything(Except The Sandman characters. Those are neat! And it’s only because the characters themselves are so well done.)

Go PB. Dwarf is kinda redundant for them, do NOT go WS, no matter what. Dwarf is key for double mire.
