This. It's gonna happen. Doesn't matter what all the anti-farmers want.

I've got a rad/em tank. I've also got a bio/em tank. Are they gonna win any pylon damage awards? Nahh, hell no. But EM still has some of the best animations and sound effects in the game. Sometimes performance doesn't matter nearly as much as fun. Edit: Oh.. but wait, there's more. I just built another em/fire brute to take my main villain back to his original powerset combo instead of being a dm/inv brute. He's gonna suck so bad!

I've never wanted to hit my wife and she's only wanted to punch the shit outta me a couple times in almost 20 years... so we're doin good!

And for those calling for vet rewards nerfs on others, let's not forget that the HC team have already supplied us with two massive nerfs. One that cut base XP in half in AE and another that removed double inf when XP is disabled. When is it going to be enough for yall? Not until AE is removed from the game? By the by, alt door sitter hit lvl 30 in just under an hour farming DA repeatables. This includes travel time so my 2 hour to 38 may be overestimated by a bit. I'll finish that up later. Stuff to do. Should we get rid of the DA repeatables as well? Nerf level shifts? Nerf the incarnate powers themselves? Hell, at this point, the sidekick system itself seems awfully suspect! Mission 1 +3/x8 oops 1-14 7:23 Mission 2 +4/x8 14-18 15:52 Mission 3 +4/x8 18-22 28:06 Mission 4 +4/x8 22-25 35:14 Mission 5 +4/x8 25-28 44:41 Mission 6 +4/x8 28-30 57:22 LATE EDIT: Yup, right at 2 hours to PL an alt in DA at max diff to 38 vs 45 mins in AE.

I'm unsure how much longer it takes me to get a new alt from 1 to 38 with it door sitting while I farm DA repeatables at max diff with BZB Scrap... I should test that. I know it only takes me 7 maps of the fire farm. 45 mins or so. I suspect with all the extra travel involved, my WAG would be around 2 hours to 38.

Only 39 now. He's got a ways to go but I'll learn more this time by actually playing him instead of just slappin a build together at 50 and knowing nothing. So far? He ain't no scrapper. Feels a lot more like a ST blaster with good mez protection but I see where I can still lean on shockwave for aoe at least.

Which is why all my farming to PL new alts is hands on. I get the same cathartic relaxation clearing Brigg's farm as I do soloing an ITF or hammering out DA repeatables. Hmmm.... might say something about my mental state when slaughtering enemies by the thousands brings peace to my mind.

Much truth.

Still having difficulty with no spin and eviscerate being changed to single target. This thing better end up with some crazy good pylon times.

Thanks, everybody!

Hey all. I decided I did need to have BZB as all 4 melee types on Excel so I'm rebuilding the stalker. This look ok? I'm really wondering if the AT IO procs are in a good spot. Still not sure what chain I'll end up running. Testing will need to be done. http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/download.php?uc=1461&c=686&a=1372&f=HEX&dc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

How could I be anything but Bill Z Bubba? HC BZB#1 still lives on Torchbearer. HC BZBs 2, 3 and 4 all live on Excel. Got some name holders out there too. Plus another 70 or so alts.

On this, I'd still like the ability to convert threads into emps. As it stands, they can only be used after a certain point to buy from Luna. Just on my 2 heaviest hitters, BZB Scrap is sitting on almost 1900 threads and 13 T4s. Granted, he DOES have 666 vet levels. He's killed a lot of enemies. Point being, even the thread drop rate from defeats is pretty dang high. My farmer, on the other hand, only has 750 threads but she's been used to buy huge insps and ultimates from Luna and that 2nd account is currently sitting with 3 Transcendents in email with that number only destined to climb higher. As per the spreadsheet, I have 6 characters fully T4ed and another 5 fully T3ed. (Again, I know, I'm a prime example of which Apparition speaks.) But shouldn't we be able to use the threads for more than just an inf dump after a bin is full of insps and we have all the incarnate powers we'll ever want?

I suspect that all those folks suffering from altitus would probably throw a rod were that to come to pass. I also suspect it would just lead to more people farming the hell out of Heather's arc in DA. While I'm definitely in the camp seeing the rather rabid effects of power creep in the game, I also think that ship has sailed completely and I sure as hell wouldn't want to go back to the incredibly solo-UNfriendly incarnate progress scheme we had before the snap.

A dad that instilled a love of astronomy and other areas of science and a big brother with friends that included me in their D&D and Champions gaming sessions meant I was doomed to geek-nerd-dorkdom early on. And arcades. Man, I loved gettin 40 tokens for 5 bucks at Aladdin's Castle back in the day.

Since the removal of dbl inf when disabling Earn XP, after vetlvl 99 the only benefit to continued lvling is the lvlup batch of insps and the pretty FX. For my main, I still have Earn XP disabled because I never want him to go above vetlvl 666. Can anything be done to return some kind of balancing reward for the disabling of Earn XP?

Physics... it don't mean shit. Yes, yes you can.

I love you, man.

This. I've got like 6 out of 70 fully T4ed. And three of them are variants of Bill Z Bubba.

Sad thing is... I never did no jerk hackin til CoH got UNsnapped. Now I'm all about the PL and farmin abuses.

I have a request... if I go past 30000 posts on this forum again... someone please hunt me down and beat me soundly. Granted... the wife may beat you to it.

So? Also, did this really need two threads?

Watching granite armor with rooted enabled whilst kicking people in the face forces me to disagree with the OP. I still get the point... once upon a time the flavor of an AT was incorporated into the attack sets it was allowed... but then brutes got claws which forced me to say "proliferate ALL the things!"

For me the fix was always to plug in a network cable. If it was some way to actually fix his wireless connection, I too am curious.

😞 Nah, I silenced that one and psionic dart is now blissfully silent but Subdual is still migraine inducing.
