Clave Dark 5

Whoa whoa, I wasn't finger pointing at you, I was bouncing off what you said more towards speaking to the OP instead. Apologies for that coming across differently. No need for the chapter and verse, I'm on your side here!

They were obviously so doubled over with laughter that they didn't know what they sent me. uwu

On any toon with any heal or Res power that I take.

I've heard stuff like this from a number of the "git gud" community who work to min/max everything within an inch of their lives, yet still find myself on teams not even starred hard content team, still using a heal (or even less min/maxy, a Res power) more often than you'd think. Players have found ways to really OP characters, bu that's not all players, nor even I think a majority of them. Play what you want, no cookie-cutter builds needed here.

You can find them elsewhere on these forums if you can't find yours.

The critics are raving: "Tacky Xmas exploits...sign me up!" ... "Send a comment to the author (optional)q" The Devs Must Be Mad to have given this a Devs Choice! You ever have one of those sandwiches that's like five pounds of fixins slopped into a big ol' hoagie loaf that leaves your hands wet and splatters on your shirt, table, and lap the second you pick up? That description is not hyperbole, this one is chock-a-block with all sorts of dumb stuff.

That is easier to type than /jranger

Unless I miss my guess, most old builds will still work, more or less, but now you can have fun puzzling together new ones (or just stealing them from these forums, as I do). Get a toon, any toon, to 50, keep playing that toon, and you'll soon enough have lots of Inf, no worries there.

But how were we supposed to be able to tell that from their verbose post above?! I kid, I really should try and get the time to post some of mine here. In the meantime: see my sig? Go look that mish up, then check out other ones I've published, pretty sure I have at least two comedies, and one is Dev's Choice!

If you're really against taking the time to look up stuff ("I wonder if this recipe crafted is worth anything?") then just throw it at the AH for 5. I mean, I feel that's leaving some money on the table, fairly easy money, buuuuut I'm mainly here for the pew pew pew, so the homework side of things often bores me as well.

We've suggested this one before - completely ruined the look of a controller I had!

Sir Slamalot? I find this helpful to grab handfuls of related words at a time: https://onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtml It's not always perfect and some searches can really go far afield quickly, but it's better than nothing.

Somewhere on these forums, might have been Oedipus Tex? had a Ice/Sav build that I stole, and it's a monster overall. I mean, I don't try silly stuff like soloing four star hard mode stuff with it, but that's because I have no interest in such things anyway. For all I know maybe it can.

I like to think of it as "unexpected slapstick."

This. That way lies cookie-cutter builds, min/maxxers always taking Origin X to have that few percent more of something, and then telling everyone else that the other are "utter trash, insulting, really."

So first Maria ran away with Ted to Cancun to raise their mutant son in peace, then Devan flipped his car but he's OK, Candice's cancer was cured when she touched this strange asteroid, Bill discovered that he's been a clone all this time and the real one's is ruling an small Pacific island with an iron fist, and Tom's plans to build an army of attack-bots was foiled when his dog, jumping up on him out of happiness and love, made him accidentally drop the very delicate control circuit box.

A new player experience, not THE new player experience. This aint even stinging me, I'm not out here defending our beloved game from any and all critiques (ask me how I hate Incarnate stuff and how confusing that was/is, I dare you), I'm just saying this guy dove in headfirst without checking the depth of the pool.

I don't think the idea is to force anyone to play resdide, just to get some more to try it.

I hate that stuff too, so: report via Support Ticket, maybe add a Player's Note (if you feel like it), block, move on. They won't get stronger if we don't let 'em.

Ssssol Invictussss!

Sound slike he made exactly all the worst possible choices. Some of that might be luck, some of it maybe not. I wanna say though even I knew not to try and face down purple-cons. All that said: when I started, I had a friend already here who could look over my shoulder and give me some simple explanations like "don't face down purple-cons." If this guy literally jumped in without advice one or didn't look up anything, that's more on him I think. I wouldn't expect to be able to hop into WoW (or any other game) without doing some reading up. And the Costume Creator being so big? That's a feature not a bug!

Jump into the game, get on a team, ask questions of any and all sorts. Don't be afraid to die sometimes, it'll probably happen fairly often until you learn some things like "always stick to the center of the streets". Chat has a "HELP" channel, you can ask questions there too. Might not be bad to hang out a bit and just watch the Help channel scroll by to pick up tips there. Be sure and use these forums a lot!

Generally never have to, I almost never hit names that are already taken. For instance, my two latest are Rabbitual Criminal and Cinerea Van Allen. Finding a really good name (still not sure about Cinerea there) is part of the real fun for me.

Doesn't sound like a complete failure then, ha ha

I understand the grime complaint, but don't share it because of that wonderful zone variation and ease of travel (to this day I still can't recall which p[art of the blue side map Boomtown branches off from). Plus the grime is a nice contrast against the pastels and weightless glass of much of blue side. And like larger American cities, blue side is very not on a human scale, skyscrapers, those sky highways in skyway... older areas are still more on a human scale, a place where you can see the sky and find the horizon without too much effort, not like looking up from the bottom of as gorge. Red side could use a good Perez Park though, Echo Astoria kind of area, the best it has is what, Nerva?
