  1. Look, it's avery complex and tangled system, entirely on purpose!  You just have to keep hanging around and listening to vet stalk about things, as well as reading the wiki.  It's an annoying bit of homework, but it will pay off pretty well.  😃  I wish you all the luck with it!

  2. If these gentle reminders don't stop, I'ma have to stop this car and come back there!

     

    Funny how merely saying "you don't have to farm to play this game" gets some people really upset.

    Oh and my icon is a.I. genned because I have no artistic talent so I guess I'm lazy.

    You could have taken a screen shot of your groovy character instead, which would have been more YOU, but no.....  😃

     

    The magic is still in the editing.  Ever heard of William S Burroughs and his Cut-Up Technique for writing?  Long story, but having read most of his stuff, just reprinting what it created got old really quickly; reading what was created and then writing based upon the associations and ideas it suggested? 

     

    Fantastic stuff. 

     

    Meanwhile, online publishers want to hit "create" on their new random number generators and then cut and paste the results without even editing them fort accuracy.

  4. Gentle reminder that you don't need to farm to play this game and end up both rich, at level 50, and uber-slotted. 

     

    Seriously, you don't, go have fun instead!

     

    Also: not sure if serious...

  5. Never seen this.  I'd probably just ignore it, this is akin to plonking yourself in Pocket D and spamming "looking for farm plz." 

     

    I have given out Inf and good enhancers ("slot this in Stamina and it will help a lot") on teams I was on though, so I'm no Scrooge, but still.

  6. I'm with the undead on this one, every time I have to start this process it's always a headache of vague instructions and "oh, it doesn't work that way exactly here" or something.  The modder really helped though, but invariably it's a matter of 45 minutes (that's often all of my gaming time!) and then somehow it all starts working and I still don't know how or why.

     

    Speaking of that modder, refresh my memory: do I have to download the new vidiot maps and then access them through, or does the modder get updates via some menu click that it will then put into place, or what?

  7. You know... it occurs to me that when we do a Summer Blockbuster, one of those missions is to role play (vaguely) a team of thieves who rob a casino.  As they're gangsters, essentially, it's a bit of a grey area, but.... have you ever heard anyone complain about "playing evil" there?  I never have.

  8. Considering the way things are going for superhero films at the box office, one of those badges had better be something like

     

    Hollywood Bomb

    Maybe the budget was too small, or the script was never satisfactorily smoothed out, or the editing changes made things too convoluted, or maybe it was just everything, but critics and audiences agree, this movie was terrible and your name is now a joke online.

  9. Did a random Talos PUG tonight doing just any ol' missions - radios I suspect.  My 50 Dom had to run at their level without all her bells and whistles (perma-dom, my bespoke amped up damage slotting, fuin things like Venge, etc.), but still ended up tanking for the group (stalker, MM, and everyone else support squishies) by starting off with spawn-wide mezzes and then jumping in to drop my one AoE available at that level, then alt-tabbing through the foes to single target mezz them until there were no more foes.

     

    Good PUGs aren't as interesting to talk about ha ha!  But yes, they are out there, often.

  10. It's been noted that if you say give a foe some mix of ranged and melee, then set them for "melee only" or vice versa, they won't use the other too often; this can be useful to get their experience given to that 100% - always a concern yeah, I'd never give players foes to defeat that only pass out say 50%! 

     

    I believe I saw this work with mezzes as well: a mezz or two would get used, but not like every attack.  I never used this to try and rig the game like a fire farm or anything though, but I imagine some have.

  11. Did a redside Lord Recluse... whatever it's called (the one with Atlas in ruins and go fight all the good guys, whilst in the cut scene  Manti is apparently starting to lose it and constantly firing arrows and telling everyone they can't give up) that started pretty rough.  After me and another telling the leader we weren't all that familiar with it (I think this was third run ever?), they just said "first flyers then towers," which uh...  Fortunately, apparently some of the others were familiar enough and had TP, ha ha.  Some deaths fighting that giant robot outside the one map, then we rushed that one (other?) map and hit the door that won't let you past till you have a key, so they rushed back alone to wherever to get it and died, etc. whilst we stood around boomboxing.  They kept mentioning how bad their End was and they couldn't wait to slot the Incand to take care of that, and all their tanks had bad End problems (I didn't say anything).  Overall we got it pulled off, but not really because we deserved to.  I love it when that happens!

    I also came away with the conclusion that IOs and even incarnate powers are not the root of why the current game seems so easy.

    Remember the price of purples on Live though?  Remember how much the Miracle unique was?  You really had to work at getting your hands on those on Live.  Now those, and more, are de rigueur for so many posted builds.   I'll agree that knowing everything about the game does help, and that it was never super hard (I usually played with only half-slotted toons because I was a filthy casual poor, but still did just fine), but this is definitely a change from Live and I do think has trivialized things even more.

    Well I'm very much a newb when it comes to advanced concepts and builds, so is there a list or guide or something for what powers this works on and how to go about it?

    Visit the sub forums for the AT you're playing, look around for builds matching the power sets you've chosen.  Sometimes you may still not find one, but you might find one with one of those power sets, which should give you some idea. 

     

    Also, our lovely and talented wiki has a lot of good info, such as this:  https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Dominator_Strategy

    In the neon-lit streets of Paragon City, a hero with a biting wit and even sharper fangs prowls the night. Known only as Snarky, this enigmatic figure is more than meets the eye, his powers a chilling reminder of his ancient origins and the cycle of reincarnation that has shaped his existence.

     

    Snarky's abilities are as cold and unforgiving as the winter's breath. With a mere gesture, he can unleash blasts of ice that freeze his enemies in their tracks, leaving them vulnerable to his dark whims. His mastery over darkness allows him to bend the shadows to his will, ensnaring his foes in tendrils of inky blackness.

    Red marked the cliches, some of them nonsensical (you may find more); had to quit there lest I waste more time on this. 

     

    Please see me after class.
