Clave Dark 5

Depending on time of day, I bet if you asked, some helpful 50 would team with you to make your travel there (and later out) easy. I know I would anyway.

I did not know that. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead anyway!! OK, maybe not...

Yeah, I kind of feel they're charging ahead willy-nilly without maybe thinking things through too well. Guess we'll see!

Just what it says. Can Arachnos solider toons be allowed to have more than one Arachnos cost8ume slot and to mix and match pieces from those uniforms and the other costume piece lists?

No need to apologize, you're allowed to do things your preferred way of course. 🙂 If I can get some time this weekend (and can tear myself away from ToT leagues), I'll look into it my account and upload something there, thanks.

Neat! Does it do anything, or just follow you around making you look spoooooky?

I think I understand now, cool, thanks!

This sounds too good to be true. This will be awesome for MSRs if I just sit my Corr in the middle of the bowl and blast away. I dunno how it's done on other servers, but the one I play on everybody collects and chills until the raid begins in a spot near two ruined tanks in the middle of nowhere before we take off to start taking down pylons, so that'd be a great chance to check it as the league is forming. Sadly I won't be able to do so until the next time I can be present at the next MSR on my server, which is likely to be days from now. Unrelated question - So the build looks awesome once you hit 50 and can slot the Hamis and so on, but what about until then (or if I exemp down)? It'd be great to have access to this Tactics Madness at lower levels rather than taking it "right at the end" at 47. I don't know Time or even DP all that well, so do you have any suggestions for something I could put off at lower levels to make room for them earlier? I was thinking about switching places with Temporal Selection for Assault (as it's only slotted once in the finished build) at level 41 and then Suppressive Fire for Tactics at 47 as it's only slotted with a single Hami. If I were to do so, would I be gimping my toon if I put off taking them until later, or are those two powers "ones you want the second they become available"?

Yeah, but doing it over and over again in the span of an hour or so starts to feel like police brutality. (I was teaming on PI and he literally respawned in seconds in the exact same spot right after we defeated him, even).

I heard this rumor as well yesterday; the first team I was on managed to take them all out, the second didn't. I wasn't paying too close attention, but from what I saw at the time, I don't think so? But that's worth about the pixels I've said it with, I know.

No no, I meant "is there more stuff we can trade the salvage for"? And hey, what was the "small change" to Eternal Night?

It was clever! I say this because that's where my mind went as well, at first, and I know that I'm clever, so... you can follow the logic here. 😀 Thanks for testing it out and saving me the time!

This is probably going to sound a bit tetchy - "how dare you set conditions on offering me 80 million inf!" - but why Discord? I went there a few times when it was the big source of info on Homecoming, but I never took a shine to the layout, etc. Why not post them here?

Whatever strikes me as good for the character. I'm also tending towards collecting a lot of my disparate costume ideas onto single character, because I find this cuts down on my altoholism, ha ha. For instance, my Widow (already a costume "special case" in that the first slot is always the Arachnos uniform, and none of the other ones can be, at all) has his Widow outfit in the first slot, then the second has a casual look with a white duster jacket. But I didn't like that, so I made his third a sort of dark-elfy-looking "magical creature/spirit" or something. Then his fourth slot I made into his Halloween costume for the season, based on, I kid you not, "Tony The Tiger as a vampire" (which is on the front of special Frosted Flakes with spoooooky marshmallows available right now - seriously, google it!), complete with a tiger head. I have zero idea what his next costume will be, maybe a dim shadow hidden inside a thunderhead aura? I also have a character that is literally a different person across every costume slot she has (altho currently I'm currently only happy with 2.5 of them). And then I have one guy loosely based on the old Everready battery logo of a leaping black and white cat; his second and only other costume slot is him in a tuxedo because black and white cats so patterned can also be referred to as "tuxedo cats". Literally, I have no pattern that I follow.

HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEN! /em giddy And just days after my second fifty, so thematically fitting for this holiday [see my sig], hit 50! I also wanted to chime in and say that I love the green windows, I noticed them while flying back and forth over PI from the motel to monkey island to bash Eochai [side question for no one in particular: how do you pronounce that name?]. In between that and the decorations around Atlas, you guys are really knocking this out of the park for me. I haven't had a chance to check yet, is this just the extra costume slot and the temp costumes, or is there more?

So I rolled a Time/DP defender last night on a whim, and then thought "I should check the forums for a build." And then have worked my way through the evolution of this No Escape build across multiple threads and wow, what a roller coaster it's been. And now I want on this ride too! Regarding the Guassain's proc: Funnily enough (for the second time), I had just respeced my first fifty, a Corr I only team with, and dropped the Gaussian's into her Tactics based on some vague mutterings I'd heard about how it might work well in there. Great randomly made choice, me! One question I have though, I've done a lot of MotherShip Raids with her, so what would the proc do when the toon is in a league? Does such a power buff the entire league, or just the "up to eight" on your team?

I guess I'm crazy in that I rarely respec toons. On the other hand, I often don't play them past 50, or just never take the time to do the homework to make a build. I have followed builds from first level and up and started slotting whatever set soon as I could, while just filling in "the purple slots" with some crafted level 25 SOs. I dunno, nine times out of ten I just go with my gut and a few passes over write-ups of the power sets with "take this but not that, slot it roughly like this" and call it good. I have noticed a lot of builds are awful if you exemplar down; one tank build I'm working towards took taunt at level 49. I had to adjust that obviously as my tank's still only 30 or so. I just respecced my first 50 and her build probably won't exemplar down half as well as she used to (too few slots in her heal at lower levels, for one thing), but it's better than what they had in the build originally.

Look if poor Grumps has finally found something to bring a smile to that weary, irritated visage, let them have it!

I can't recall for sure, but I think I did log out and back in on that Halloween-decorated park, once.

I've built my current MM, perhaps not well but, for a tankermind and BG mode hasn't seemed to do me too many favors either. I mean, it's not like I'm dying every other mob or anything, but... maybe I just don't 100% get it somehow. My MM himself could be tougher, have more defense or resists or something, which I'll be looking into here as he just hit 50. I've often left them in defensive follow and then set up the mob and walked into them, which triggers the alpha strike which in turn triggers my Mercs to uh start triggering. It's a decent way to live, I guess, but I thought it might feel more awesome somehow, more like a tank, I guess?

Americans: The Original Min/Maxers

This is why they nerfed AE exploits? Maybe they were bad at predicting just how extreme the players might go for it, but...

You're always steam rolling until you don't notice the War Walker in that one mob, or you go up against some Malta.

You're leaving out the urge to play dragon atop your mound of merits, swimming amongst them like some sort of demented Scrooge McDuck.

I avoided all that nonsense before shut down, but have looked into it some and it's OK, just as long as you'r not stuck endlessly grinding it forever and never play anything other than your 50.
