Clave Dark 5

I haven't played a lot since Tuesday I think, but it did seem to happen to me a lot. The funny thing was it would kick my right out and shut down the program. The launcher thingy was up, but CoH itself had shut down completely. Had it happen to me like 3 or 4 times that night, always when doing something like hopping the tram to another map.

The only soloing of TF-type stuff I've ever done was done back before shut-down. I had found and followed a good build for an Ill/Rad troller that was packed with enough recharge to perma the the Phantom Army. I ended up running thru the Baby New Year and Lady Winter stories a ton because I love the winter maps and the build allowed me to feel relaxed enough to actually risk soloing (I generally get too tense when things get really tough,. and that's not why I play this game). Going back to the OP post, this was obviously because Rad allows me to debuff the foes enough to render them toothless, not the other way around.

The pro vs. con of incentivizing red-side's been chewed over pretty well here, so I won't go into that. I will note that the red-side Patron pools were in the game long before there was any way to cross over for your hero to get them, so they can't have been kept separate " to encourage players to play red-side." Coh and CoV were separate games at first. I would imagine that they're done with patron arcs to get you to engage more with game lore, by aligning yourself with one of the top villains. (Hero-side maybe could do something similar, although I dunno if heroes would try and encourage side-kicks as much as villains might.)

I accidently wandered into the red-side one early on and was all like "oh yeah, this..." I poked around a little and then left. Such things could be easily repurposed to useful things by the HC team, it'd be fun to imagine.

I think those are the Bit O Honeys of the superpack trick-or-treat bags too. Still, from what I've seen those enhancers tend to sell for closeish to 20 mill. I've bought all of one pack so far myself as well (I usually have a list of things I want to buy and so don't feel the breathing space to splurge) and I pretty much just broke even right there.

They're for sale at a set price in the /ah window. I forget what they're under, 'salvage' maybe?

I didn't just mean the changes, I mean all the changes to each and every new server out there. HC has made its changes, I understand the 4chan one has made different changes, and I'm betting others have also made their own changes to boot. Is it worthwhile to keep up on changes made on that one server for a hundred folk? Five hundred? And imagine looking something up there "This change came about in 2005. Then it was updated in 2019 by the HC servers. The 4chan server made this change instead. Tom's Server went this direction instead, while Bill's ignored the issue and reverted it back to the pre-2005 version." And so on. And yeah, who's going to do it? So far, no one, but you're welcome to! 🙂

Whoa... holiday season!!

There holiday season! There castle!

Time is an awesome set though, sure. but that's kind of a shame as I just leveled a Beasts/FF and found him to be a lot of fun, although he did start slow. I proc-monstering his Beast attacks (Call Ravens, etc.) and the powers I didn't skip from FF, as has been discussed elsewhere on these forums. Then I took a fair number of the Patron Pool powers I wanted to try because I never had before (being Beast, it felt apropos to have the sharks from Leviathan Mastery), and then proc-monstered those as well. I didn't take Provoke, as I'm either too busy debuffing with the proc-monster powers or making everyone fall down with Repulsion Bomb (also doing its own proc damage) - so I'm not bored with FF!

Oh, that's a great idea. Now I have to think of a reason I'd want to aggro so many Riktis, outside of getting to participate in something like this some day. Then again, I have to build a real solid tankermind (I know it can be easily done, of course).

The old Wiki is meant to be a document of what the game was up to when it left, those were all "official" changes to what the game was. Homecoming (and every other new server) are adding "unofficial" changes to the game, so they're not reflected there. Imagine trying to keep track of them all, for one thing.

Yeah, had to log into the game to make sure that was still there, which fortunately it was.

Not every damn hero is Superman, there's Batman and Spider-Man, for one, both of them could be hurt by guns.

My latest MM is Capt Sam's Space Zoo, which is a Beast of course. He's also a bubbler, so there you go, problem solved. But now all your MMs have to be bubblers. (I will also note that "normal animals" are not necessarily as fragile as people are. And those "normal soldiers" get to fire their guns at Golden Palm a lot before he gets close, too.)

WB! We had trick-or-treating, so I'm pretty sure we'll get the Winter Lords too.

I'm actually in a Christmas-themed SG, and I coulda sworn the leader, who apparently loves building bases, and Christmas-themed bases at that, has some in our base. But I've only been in there once so far.

I've always thought of the old-look cars as being an intentional choice, bringing something of a "this could be anytime, more or less"/nostalgia time period feel to the game. Plus they might have made them look "modern" in, what was it, 2004? but they'd be out of date by now. ETA: and think of the poor Grav toons, throwing a modern car at someone just wouldn't feel the same!

I asked this same question not too long ago and was told Black Scorpion and so far it's worked out for me. I just ran it with an MM whose build was, well, not awful, but also not fully there nor fully slotted yet. I set the difficulty as low as I could, skipped the kill-all and Malta or no, did just fine with it. I did have a couple of peeps show up later to help me along, but only in the next to last and last mission that got us the badge.

That was all kinds of annoying. Which is why I gave up even risking it and just go right for Villain or Hero when I switch sides, I don't have time for that nonsense.

Off topic but also still sorta relevant question about this: I was recently playing a toon that was set for Vigilante and every time I hit my Ouro and zoned out I would get dropped from the blueside team I was on. Is that a thing for Rogue too? Is this just some ongoing bug, or is there some rules for it that I didn't know?

Try playing pre-fixed Stralkers if you think Villain ATs were stronger. 🙂 (I did, weirdo that I am.)

I'm not picky. 🙂 "Real" contacts and missions and tips should be real world though and not Ouro or AE, seems to me.

"The usual methods" to clarify. "Some Dude has reached out to you to talk to you about The Warriors, you can find him in King's Row" etc. Again, the game's already got its usual ways, no need to change them.
