Clave Dark 5

It's been a bug since late Live. I've reported it more than once and one of our current Devs said he'd look at it. That was like a year ago though ha ha, so don't hold your breath probably. I figure it must be a deeply-rooted problem or it would have been fixed by now, either on Live or now. I know the troubles it causes, I just unearthed an arc I was was working on and gave up on during Live because of the problem (and a couple of others), one can tinker around hopefully enough to avoid it, but it is a real pain. Chaining is one thing, but if it's an ally, it pings that you're acquired them as soon as they appear, so... if that's the last thing to chain, the mission completes soon as they appear, no matter how far you might happen to be from them.

We're gonna need an "after dark" tag for threads now, wow.

Fold Space is a favorite for tankers or anyone else who wants to make every attack all about me on a team (solo is different and fine, obvs.). I'm not so much a fan, as someone who's often trying to drop an AoE or something, so I would kindly ask if you do take it on a toon, that you announce at least once at the beginning of the map "hey, FYI I will be using Fold Space ok?" Some people have told me this is highly unfair to expect of a Folder, but I hold out hope for humanity that a modicum of consideration might prevail in this trail of tears we call City of Heroes.

Well that was just as much fun as the write-up up above. Five stars, easily.

There's some decent tricks I think to be found on... wait, was that in the wiki? I'll check... Yeah, yeah it was: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Mission_Architect_Custom_Units (scroll down a bit) In general, I've found it often also matters who you're running through these, such as whoops, low Psi resists or something. Just try and go for stuff that doesn't cause problems en masse like attacks with debuff effects, etc. and skip any armors as much as you can. Anoither trick, give them lots of melee attacks and then set for ranged, they won't use many of them. Most people will be able to steamroll anyway, yeah, and better to be flimsy than ganked. ETA: also, for levels 20-30, maybe customs might just be too tough for you?

I too was happy to have all y'all still here. Until I read this thread.

Nope, pops right up for me from the official list. Is that an official list? I didn't get invited to it or have to type it in or anything, it was just there.

Your description of it is longer than the story itself.

Isn't there already a channel for AE? I put it on a couple of characters and never saw anyone use it though. It's like redside - there, but no one goes there because no one goes there.

By the way, has anyone yet mentioned the Croatoa groups, especially the Fir Bolg? Love their look but there's no story other than "they're spooky, let's you and them fight!" I mean, just look at the wiki entry... Having already done a bit with them in the past for AE, I nominate myself to expend their story. You're welcome, devs! 😃

Arachnos is far too entrenched in redside to just see them fade away, that'd be like saying let's do a BLT without bacon. So I'd say upgrade them.

When I'm not at work or busy, I'm early hours too.

Woo, I almost never hear that!

As I posted in another thread just now, I got 3 more AE slots by submitting a support ticket, and was told there's more where that came from, free for the asking. Go for it!

I got three more via support ticket and was told I can always submit another for three more again.

That's my personal SG's logo.

Wasn't always . I never really played blue side once I went red on Live until near the very end when first Incarnate content piled up the population in Pocket D, and then after the game was cancelled but not offline yet. But today? Yes, Always, will be.

Allow me to show you my pet peeve ha ha: Halloween hotel leeching. They can walk away from the keyboard while I click the doors to get things going, then get a chance at the pie when something drops. This is like inviting yourself to someone else's farm, and then they can't make you leave. Imagine if you could do that in AE, people would screeeeam.

Judging by what I've seen of the population lately, this is becoming an issue. Everyone can get anything they want in the game, and they have, multiple times now. Hell, even I have about two pages of 50s, I only had 2 back on Live. So stop. Don't farm, or do too many farm-like activities - Peregrine Council parties for example. It's like Halloween (and ToT at the hotel): it can be fun to have one big candy-orgy of excess occasionally, but eating like that all the time makes your stomach hurt. Don't rush through anything, no speed runs. You can start from a MIDS plan, but then throw caution to the wind to do what sounds fun. I usually hate playing with toggles I can't run till I'm like in my 30s (Endurance issues), like Tough, Weave, so out they go! I always find I feel very useful when I get to use a rez on a fallen player even if it doesn't happen too often, so who cares if I can't set-bonus myself into the stratosphere with it. Take the rez, placate, group fly, anything you want. Supercharge your flamethrower so you can use it every group if you like it. Weird builds are a fun thing to sink your teeth into, if you can find one that appeals. I've started two semi-petless Masterminds out of sheer cussedness because I like the idea of wading into combat with two lions at my side, and I am very re-invested for now. Lead teams if you don't. Write MA arcs, play MA arcs, there's tons of great stuff out there. Writing them will be very frustrating and time consuming believe me. 😃

I do about half the time. The other half the time I really want yet one more power pick, so that makes it an easy cut for me.

Eh reward creep isn't something I think we need.

You've just given me my flounce when I decide I've had enough of this game.

Well I was over there last night around 1 am and saw no campers, sooo...

So is crime, and yet here we are fighting back!

Pretty to look at, but I was never able to manage the geysers in the Pocket D winter zone, so there's no way I wanna play that game, or to try playing that game, when a team is waiting on me (that's not "being in such a rush"). I stopped attempting the TFs because the few running them were in "such a rush" and exhibited the worst aspects of "what do you mean you don't have all this memorized and took the Incarnate TP power, I shall now roll my eyes verbally and dramatically*" What I do recall of them, they were indeed too long. *No, not a quote, but the meaning was direct.
