Clave Dark 5

Challenge accepted!

I'm finding I'm having to remind folks how to run it, or , maybe more happily, we have so many new players that they don't know how to run it yet (I've run a GM hunter/league TPer for the past few years for ToT and have all this down pat, I know how to run this like some know how to Hami.... which I never really learned). Of the three times I've been around for banners so far, I've had to take the time to post a brief explainer in chat once it starts up. It's always slow to start, no, really, everyone: please leave the hotel and head to one of the colored dots on the map... but all three times we got our acts together and got it completed, even after the time the timer on one slipped below ten minutes before we even got the banners vulnerable.

And there's only one of them too, so you can't say have it six times on your list at once. You'd have to get it, run it, the get it again and again (which, I don't know if happens really)..

Does this mean/include keeping an eye out for XP leechers and working to reduce them?

Finished it finally. Lots of solid work and thought put into this in many ways, I quite enjoyed it! I said a bit more in my comment than I'll put here, but I will say anyone looking for a fun magic arc should run this one.

As an aside, why rush getting one measly level anyway? This game doesn't begin at 50, so instead settle in, faff about, get used to the basics of your new power sets, stop and stomp the flowers.

"Sphere of Influence" I laughed! I was just wondering the other day what you've been up to.

Scrapper-like, but go with a Shield/Electric Melee Stalker, and pick up Spring Attack. The BAMPFing lifestyle is so much fun.

I love a good magic story, I'm in, soon as I can. How many missions is it? ETA: never mind, started it up and after one mission it's already fun, great character for the contact, and always nice to see Hermes Trismegistus mentioned. Again, I'm in!

I was about to say "no" to this question but then I remembered that I have a stalker that I hardly play any longer that I've kept around for GM hunting during Halloween. He's seen work for the last 3 Halloweens I think. I genuinely like doing the work and porting everybody all at once to beat up on a monster, or back to the murder hotel, plus Halloween is my favorite event time in the game, so it's a way to keep at it after I've already taken down a trillion vampires at the hotel. I like the way he plays, even without the GM hunting I'd keep him, if I ever do go through and clear out the deadwood; I figure I should strip and delete about half my list of 50s that made it all the way but that I had no interest to ever revisit, or (I have more of these) toons that didn't make it to 50 that I still have no interest in touching. I do hold on to those though, in the wan hope of someday deciding I have a better concept for that power set combo, in which case I've just saved myself some rerolling time.

I don't like computer/video games, just waste of time when I might be reading, watch something, doing anything else. At least playing dominoes or cards of any variety with friends is about the time spent with friends, not "did I get an ace? I got an ace, go me!" Then in 2005, a roommate moved in for a bit who was playing World of Warcarft and CoH. WoW looked just as dull as any other game, but say, that City of Heroes looks sorta neat... it's like getting to design your own superhero action figure and then getting to play with it doing cool stuff... And that was that.

Even after all these years, no one had thought to snag ill met by moonlight until I did. Had to keep it all lower case so it didn't look like "[three hash-marks] By Moonlight."

There's something to be said for power sets that you can gleefully skip half of and still play very well. I like to go on weird side-jaunts with my builds when I can (just top keep things fresh), so this set would be a good chance to explore an Epic or pool power set that might fit or expand your theme, or pairs well with a couple of other powers.

I actually haven't run many Coors, but when I do - or make any new toon - concept comes first, so somewhere I end up considering a pairing of power sets that dictate either Corrupter or Defender. My natural inclination is to lean Corr for what's essentially freebie damage thanks to SCOURGE. This is often my same thinking for choosing a stalker that fits a concept over a tank or scrapper: I like having secondary effects, holds, heals all that, but I also really like to be effective in damage-dealing.

As I'm not a min/maxer, I don't mess with either purples or even Hami-Os. I alt a lot and after leveling a character, I'm often ready to start another by the time I hit 50 (and my last few toons have been stalling out interest-wise in the upper 40s anyway).
