Clave Dark 5

Fnord

Just this morning a friend and I duoing, me a healing 'troller and him on a brute. Suddenly we found ourselves face to face with Valkyrie (only 'elite boss' Val, but still). Besides an expletive of shock, did we run? No. What's even more reinforcing about this behavior is we took her and the rest of the Vindicators in that base down with only one death (mine of course). Scrapperlock is a real thing.

Seconded, hard seconded.

Croatoa's probably my favorite zone. Even if I'm not teaming there (I rarely solo), I usually take the time to go badge hunt just to enjoy the scenery. I played red-side mostly back in the day and every time I set foot over there and zip down some Sharkhead side street I'm all "oh yeah, there's that one place, nice seeing it again" but of course it's tough to get teams red-side, so I'm not there even half as much as I'd like to be (probably time to roll another Mastermind I can solo there decently). I often forget about all the off-to-the-side blue-side zones like Striga, so whenever I get on a team going to those places I end up feeling silly having to ask "er... how do I get there?" like a n00b. Never had that problem red-side! Ultimately, I think I like the zones of either side that have some natural areas to them, not sure why. Croatoa's a good example of that, here you're in town, then suddenly a pumpkin patch and then in a mysterious woods and now some hills with... uh wooden platforms for some reason.

Hold on a tick, where is the OP getting candy canes from already???

I do some crafting, tend to waste time collecting the exploration badges (merits!), sometimes the costume creator too.

DO YOU WANT GM WIDOWER TO HAVE TO COME BACK THERE?! WELL DO YOU?! YOU CAN'T DO A PICARD VOICE AND THEN TELL ME YOU CAN'T YELL TOO. I TOO HAVE WANTED A TITAN WEAPONS STALKER JUST BECAUSE IT IS SILLY, BUT THIS IS BASED ON COMIC BOOK FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

Ah, there it is. I knew I'd seen that somewhere before.

Fair point, on good teams I often don't get a chance to pull even half of my tricks out of the hat before everyone's just laying on the ground around us.

I think the suggestion was for it to encourage more players to play like he does.

I think that poster was being a bit hyperbolic, yeah. I'm often on "any level welcome" teams and have never seen anyone kicked for anything, even that one blaster who went and aggroed the next group all by herself. Every. Single. Time.

I THINK THOSE GUYS WORK FOR MALTA NOW RIGHT? HOW I HATE THEM!

Someone really likes carving their pumpkins! Now you got me wishing the Jack-o-lantern head we get ingame had variations. And hey, that ca face to the left of the second photo, where do I know that from?

... I didn't even know there were badges for that! And I'm with you Locksmith, I wanna ride the blimp!

Email them to yourself and then put them in an email folder separate from everything else and you'll always have them. Or at least a few.

Also, there is no "I" in "team."

One might also work on a second build to do something your current main can't do as well, such as one build to be an AV killer vs. a minion-mower.

That is one beautiful Halloween cat! It looks something like one of mine, if her sporadic bits of orange were more organized together.

I used to at least run pick-up groups but I don't feel I know enough to do so well yet either, so I know the feeling.

Yeah, it's been my experience that either the team I'm with can steamroll Malta just as well as they do everything else, or they run into them like a brick wall and suddenly the joy is not only taken away but replaced with frustration because of the absurdly long stuns, high-powered damage, etc. Gunslingers are just Tsoo sorcerers with some overkill attacks! The team I was running with already playing on red-side when I wandered over, and so was one of those "all levels welcome" sorts, so we we're exactly prime candidates for steamrolling Malta at 40th level. I've sworn off playing anything Malta if I have anything to say about it, and so went in with a fair amount of trepidation. Strangely enough though, I think we actually had more trouble with Arachnos groups. Still, overall it all worked out well.

Cool, thanks! Definitely going to drop this on all my Mystic Flight toons.

Wait, is that a macro, or a keybind? I really should know these things better; I don't seen any mention of a key in it so it's a macro command, right? I have a thing against keybinds and prefer buttons to drop into a tray. Assuming that's a macro command, I'd type in something like /macro TP "powexec_location camera:max Translocation" to create the button, right?

I'll be cold in my grave before I acknowledge those rotten Medics! And before I learn to count, too!

Make your own team for them! DfB gets dull in and of itself. Invite any level of player to come along, even higher level ones as they may have not even seen Perez Park since Homecoming opened up.

I would have too if not for the helpful people posting above.
