Clave Dark 5

Cannot wait to see how wild you'll get on Saturday. But yeah, bump, I'd love it if people could ever swing this for us.

Oh yeah, that name thing. I doubt that'd ever affect me, my name's almost never conflict, I have odd ones in general (just see my sig).

Now see, that's what I thought but the screen made it sound like I was signing up for Scientology or something. Thanks for the info!

Can someone give the quick low down on swapping servers? I thought about doing it with a toon tonight and got the window with the disclaimers, all of which I knew about, except for something about "this will lose you one token in your pool and can't be undone" or stuff. Is this holdover from live? I was under the impression we can swap a few times a month at least or something, but this sounded dire, somehow.

Take my kick - please! I'd love to do something like that, because I always take kick over boxing, but I never have the slots to spare.

I am both saddened and disappointed I see no shindigs going on in this thread.

Crysis: I was wondering about these two choices, the proc you put into them. Level 6: Disintegrate -- EntChs-Heal%(A), EntChs-Acc/Dmg(7), EntChs-Dmg/EndRdx(7), EntChs-Dmg/Rchg(15), EntChs-Dmg/EndRdx/Rchg(23), Dvs-Hold%(42) and Level 12: Lancer Shot -- EntChs-Heal%(A), EntChs-Acc/Dmg(13), EntChs-Dmg/EndRdx(13), EntChs-Dmg/Rchg(15), EntChs-Dmg/EndRdx/Rchg(23), Dcm-Build%(42) Now, I can see how fun it would be to perhaps hold targeta a lot, but with as often as one might be firing off Disintegrate (I mean, I do a fair amount), wouldn't it be better to have the Build-Up in there instead of Lancer? Or do you just know you're going to sometimes skip Disintegrate for the mad pewpewpew during a good steamrolling like I sometimes do as well?

I know and actually don't care if it ends up looking a little funny. Hell, I still want a "lower-half of the body is a snake" option, even for Martial Arts.

Just set up a new scrapper on Excelsior, WOLF AT THE DOOR, with that big riot shield with the viewplate in it, so it sort of looks like... a door? I took broadsword for his attack although I'm not super sold on that yet. Anyway, his catchphrase is "Knock knock!" ETA; oh yeah, he deffo has a wolf's head, I forgot to mention.

I gots an itchy trigger finger! I scrapperlock when I'm peeling an onion! Gotta go faaaaast!!

Sometimes I feel bad about not being able to keep up on speed runs, like with any toons. Then, on the other hand I realize that this means they're doing the work for me, so I don't mind so much, ha ha. Just the other day, as an example, I was doing a DfB, playing a scrapper, and the rest of the team wouldn't you know it was Blaster, Sentinels, Corrs, etc. Range attacks. I kept rushing around mobs getting up in their faces only to have them die before I could get off an attack. "Aw man..." then I realized I wasn't taking any damage now running out of End either. 🙂 Same principle.

But the pewpewpew! If I have to read several pages about how to use Force Field then I'll never get around to playing the game!

Hear hear! I like the idea of messing about with builds, but it really is just sort of boring to me, too quickly. I'd rather spend my hour just pewpewpewing.

The only farming I do on any kind of a regular basis is MSR, and that's usually maybe twice a week? I hate Wenworthing, that's jut dull. Yet, all those toon sin my sig have builds with IOs, some even have some purples. Just play and everything will come your way eventually, plus you'll find you were playing all along without those things too. The frills on your character are fun, but not as fun as the character themselves; that stuff's just frills.

Broken Teeth soundtrack to the area in Croatoa. I just like the spaciness of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pl5-KYL0qQ

Eda's been star-tracking us?! And here's I've been showing up for these raids without a tie!

They are if they're what you want to play. :) The game's very elastic and if you should run across someone who tries to dictate what you play, steer a wide berth around that goofball. You can play what you want to play and most people won't care (and if they do they're goofballs). The "experts" here might tell you to never take this or that set and so on, but most players are not forum "experts." That said, defenders are slow going at lower levels if you're soloing as I understand it (I always team, so I wouldn't know for sure). That "I don't really need to be here" effect is true, often, for any member of a team; yes, they could roll along without you. That's OK, that's how the game usually plays - as I said, it's elastic. Roles aren't so rigidly set.

My mains tend to be toons I had such a blast playing that they rushed to 50 and then I built up with some good slotting and bothered to take Incarnates on. Trouble is, then I sort of wander away and then find myself playing another toon all the time. All my mains are listed in my sig. Here and there I've pulled one out and done something simple with them, but then again I've also not been playing too much as of late, guess I got a little burned out. But I always seem to get seduced away with a new toon, so I don't really have "mains" either.

Seconded, kind of feels like it's just not worth my time to try and work around a problem that hasn't been fixed.

Mastermind's don't get a lot of exercise, what with having minions around to do everything for them. When they have to expend themselves to fling that bubble or Sonic attack or pull out that rifle, man, they just don't have the same stamina a normal, actual hero or villain does, you know?

Did Blasters get a Carp Melee set yet?

Funny you mention this. I got a new computer in January and MSRs went from a slideshow to a smooth viewing experience for me. But the last couple I've done in about the last seven days or so, I've noticed a beginning of a flickering slideshow effect again setting in. I don't load up my HD with movies or music or anything, so that shouldn't have been a problem; maybe it was the MIds build still running ijn the background? I've left FireFox running before though and had no problems. ETA _ I've also noticed a new problem with enemies at say the side of the bowl when I stand in the center are not rendering until I get closer to them; pretty sure that didn't used to happen.

Hm, I wouldn't have thought it had a hard and fast definition like this, but it makes sense I guess. Up until now I would have thought it was as described above a team that can just roll through a map without having to stop for any reason and that's fairly quickly melting away any resistance.

I ended up sticking, sort of to my second build up there. Hops' looked good, but terribly expensive and retrofitting to this build alone broke my bank (worth it!), so I'm kind of glad I did. I'm still waiting for a few lowball bids to come on, but I haven't had a chance to take my 'troller our for much of a spin yet, other than another MSR, which he did just fine on. I did rearrange to take Fortitude at 20 though, so thanks for that.

I'm very NOT experienced in builds (yet?); up until recently I mainly just picked and slotted "whatever" when leveling up, which obviously has it's problems when it comes to "well this power sounds good on paper, but it's not very useful because..." Also, I was just dropping an observation made shortly before I left work for the day. 😃 But OK, here goes: "Trollers as I understand it like to slot best for recharge and Defense, but of course everyone liked \s defense." Nailed it!!
