Clave Dark 5

I've come to the conclusion that I don't "like" playing these sets, because one generally doesn't PLAY them. They just sit there and run in the background (outside of a click heal or something) leaving you free to do the fun, the pewpewpew. But... I find often that I start getting bored of that because that's all I can do. This is one reason I really like Doms, they have melee, ranged, holds, weird effects, pets. They're the whole game on one toon. I felt the same way about trying to play a Kin, and those other effects even sort of interrupt the pewpewpew so I felt like I was sort of clicking into the void (yes I know Kins bring a lot to a group, mathmatically, this is just what it felt like to me).

I recall stopping to beat up some grey Circle on a roof once, and after I'd easily dispatched them, their victim came over to say something like "thanks for saving my life!" before running and jumping off the roof of this twelve story building...

I've noticed they aren't in sync often too, especially the more you have, and yeah, it's a small effect, but it does "feel nice" for some reason.

Ah- HA! After all that carping about bad PUGs, turns out the Snarker has become the Snarky! I KNEW IT! 😁 (Happened to me a few times too - after a bunch of "hey dummy, give me back the star," went by in chat, I realized I hadn't yet checked to see if I had it myself. Turns out I didn't, but...)

I wouldn't even describe those as playing "the highest level in the game" so much as just "playing the game."

Simple: low rez items are cheaper, higher rez stuff is top shelf quality product.

I like thd oor idea, but the name's already been taken, "Pandora's Box is a hero [Enhancer] store that has locations in Skyway City, Steel Canyon, Independence Port, and Talos Island." https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Pandora's_Box_(Store)

To be... DRAMATIC!!

So there'd be a box you could check off that just reads "Council Missions Only" right?

Nawp. Fusionette.

Agreed, I love Bile Spray.

I was sort of playing a Mace/(something) scrapper, who was fine, but then I got side-tracked writing an MA arc, and now caught up in doing another. I don't have lots of time per week to play, so the scrapper's sort of fallen to the side.

Maybe they can be labeled as a business that's expanded out of the Rogue Isles (this is from Port Oaks, right across from the abandoned lab).

/macro TN "target_enemy_near" Anything past that feels like to much work that keeps me from getting into the pewpewpew. I mean, an MM might get some pet commands as I don't do keybinds, but otherwise? Eh, I'll get by. It's good to know I could do them if I wanted to though, sure.

Who says there's been power creep in this game?! I want more purple sets!! /s I mean, just how much more OP do we need to be happy?

Those little blue guys seemed to think it was more flexible than an F-bomb, so.... maybe it does mean what @Brutal Justice thinks it does! Or at least can!

Savage has played well for me on a Dom, and has six or seven melee attacks, one of which is the lovely and talented Savage Leap which I adore - nothing more melee-y as literally jumping into someone's face.

you ask "is Snarky on this team? Yes? Ok, EVERYONE PLAY STUPIIIID!!!"

Lot of assumptions in there, like four at least. 😃

You're no true accountant. Or temp. Or any other office worker, at least going by how I work. Staplelock is real and doesn't discriminate amongst whitecollar workers, my friend!

You're no true scrapper. Or stalker. Or any other toon, at least going by how I play. Scrapperlock is real and doesn't discriminate amongst ATs, my friend! (serious answer: for a tank, I don't think about that until I hit 10%... maybe...)

I get all caught up in watching the health bar, trying to figure what power to click or that I can click or what might work, etc. that I sometimes just ain't got the brain-bone to also handle considering my Insps. I am good at combining them into wakies though. Real answer too: often I tend to aim for one type, like "this guy has End issues, convert them all to blue," or "I need mess resistance, go for Break-Frees" etc. That whole "these are important, I need to save them!" mentality has led to many a death for many a player. Of course when I go on a bender and burn through them, they stop dropping...

*reads thru this thread* *scoffs* And people say the game's gotten too easy these days!

So many costume slots to fill usually means my "alternate versions" exist right on the same toon. Example: Capt. Sam's Space Zoo has hero costume with a smiling space-themed retro-futrurism, while he also has a redside costume that makes him look like a scowling tugboat captain from Nerva.

Not to gang up on you at here, just something to consider: You can easily play on SOs, you know. I never slot purples, only sometimes ATOs, and I play just fine. Plus I often go ahead and pay the "I need it NAOW" prices. Cash is easy, and I don't even play the marketing game. Just go pewpewpew, slot what you can when you can, and things will be just fine. Promise! Don't let your imagined perfect be the enemy of your face smashing pewpewpew good.
