Clave Dark 5

But it's spooky season!! Is this like the vampires and monsters in Buffy that try and lay low because they find Halloween cheesy or something?

My interest in RP wore off back when I did table top stuff; no idea why, I became a bit more self-conscious or something, started to feel a bit silly for me. So no I really haven't much in CoH, especially by the time of HC.

As they worked on a powerset, they didn't attempt to fix or correct these descriptors, they took the time to remove. I'm saying that as they're already in the headspace of being right there with the text in front of them, why not fix rather than just remove? This is a rather easy to achieve QoL change they could be making to help the game be more open, for both old hands and new comers. It's a simple one or two word change to text files. Do one a week - one a month - and you're making progress.

They apparently have time to remove them, slowly. I think typing in two words such as "high damage", say, shouldn't tax them too much.

I agree - the system may broke, but fix it not throw it all out. I've always hated that approach. It would be much easier for me to mouse over a couple of powers and compare "light" vs. "extreme" or whatever, than to have to look up real numbers via the wiki and that data page (who's name escapes me). And if that still feels too difficult to agree to, then why not have the literal numbers pop up in the mouse over? End of problem.

Pretty sure this doesn't happen often. I usually drop a lot of commons at a time and price them all at 255, and have them take days to sell out.

My impression is that the ToT monsters were sort of designed for team play, and probably a bit above level 18; on a team level 18s might make it work (I think I have???), but solo, not so much...

Maybe so, but who wants to have to live on a pig farm?

My luck's been uncommonly good then, across hours and hours of the even this month. Keep trying! We've got lots of leagues running and doing all the banners etc. very smoothly.

Eh, play what you want, have fun with the combos if you like them. I did and that was one toon I took to 50 back on Live.

Well there's your problem right there, you have to join in the full league chaos to see the levels melt away.

You've found the Family's dumping grounds!

Damn, that's great.

That was my guess too. Lets try and explain how to move people about in that window too, it's madness.

That would work too, maybe a constantly spooky Atlas echo from Ouro, in Pocket D. Past Halloween, my second fave thing is the chalet in Pocket D, and I am so so happy we can have it open year-round now... which is kind of how I view this, and the whole HC path: they ungated so much - capes, Incarnate Threads dropping, purple recipes, Luck Charms, the chalet, VEATs, you name it. Except specific holiday events (Baby New Year, Valentines Day stuff, Dr. Kane). I'm an extreme proponent of this ungating, ungate everything! All the time! But I know we wouldn't want ToT year round across every map, so tucking away one instance of it somewhere would be a good thing in my eyes. Gated events are a relic of the "tricks to keep people subbed" mindset.

A Savage dom can be a blapper too, my Ice/Sav (or is that Sav/Ice?) is loads of fun to me. I do like blapper Doms...

Sounds like it's Two Oops to me...

Bile Spray, because it's so funny.

Meh, I always had trouble hitting more than two people with Crosspunch, and I really enjoy a good jumping at someone and watching them fall down. I also tend to avoid Tough and Weave if I can as they often leave my toons (which I level, so I can't just crutch it with Incarnate powers) starved for End. But indeed, play what you enjoy!

Yeah, I wouldn't be over there ALL the time, but I wouldn't mind being able to go scoot around looking at the window decorations once in a while, like I sometimes go the Xmas zone and skate past the tree to hear the jungle of the bells.

Damn, I like having my task bar up top. >:/

I'm just crazy enough to suggest we leave lvl 50 ToT in the echo:DA all year round.

This is a photo of an eclipse from 2019 -- wait no I mean this was a photo of a ship approach Cap au Diable from 2019. (real caption here: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ Explanation: Yes, but have you ever seen a sunrise like this? Here, after initial cloudiness, the Sun appeared to rise in two pieces and during a partial eclipse in 2019, causing the photographer to describe it as the most stunning sunrise of his life. The dark circle near the top of the atmospherically-reddened Sun is the Moon -- but so is the dark peak just below it. This is because along the way, the Earth's atmosphere had a layer of unusually warm air over the sea which acted like a gigantic lens and created a second image. For a normal sunrise or sunset, this rare phenomenon of atmospheric optics is known as the Etruscan vase effect. The featured picture was captured in December 2019 from Al Wakrah, Qatar. Some observers in a narrow band of Earth to the east were able to see a full annular solar eclipse -- where the Moon appears completely surrounded by the background Sun in a ring of fire. The next solar eclipse, also an annular eclipse for well-placed observers, will occur this coming Saturday. )

This. MMs are unique in that as they take damage (and thus lose pets) they become less effective, they can't do as much damage. The time it takes to summon pets, set their stances, then pop not one but two upgrades on them (and any buffs like say bubbles) is a real drawback. I like MMs a lot until things start going south for me, then I feel like I'm being held back more than any other toon. Maybe MMs need some sort of damage consolidation where your fewer pets still do the same damage, so like a ramping up of damage for having fewer pets out to equal if you did? That would certainly make semi-petless MMs happy ha ha. And speaking of, I just leveled up a semi-petless to 50 via PUGs, and never once had anyone question me or my choices, or even comment when I made a self-deprecating joke or two about it.

I've only been ToTing in the usual PI league, but I've seen enough Spectral Werewolves to get the badge quick enough. But although I haven't been paying it much attention, I do wanna say I may have seen more mummies, but take that with a whole shaker of salt.
