Clave Dark 5

I keep meaning to take a look at this from home (where I have Mids) but this has been a busy week! I went with Beam/Rad for theme (it's a long story), but I'm always on the look-out for another.

IIRC, all the Helms and Hats are distinct head models (not just "the same head every time with this hat or helm plopped on top"), so someone would have to do the graphical work of removing a head from every one of those and then making sure they won't appear invisible from inside. I understand "new graphics" to be one of the most "not gonna happen"s out there, sadly. I'd like it too though, don't get me wrong, just don't think it's ever going to happen.

Part of the invasion should be the occasional big ol' Shivan popping up out of the ground like in the tutorial.

I've only recently started doing that with the names, because why not, and the first toon I put it on was PINK BAMPFER and guess what color his name came out as? Yup, pink. I wondered if maybe the system takes any color in your name as a suggested color, maybe make a BLUE VJHFCGHFH just to see if it comes out blue.

Off topic: I am still near-irrationally angry about how "every build MUST taken Tough and Weave", partly because I hate taking a throw-away power, partly because as I'm leveling up and go "woo, another level! Run to the trainer, check my document for the exciting new power aaand... it's 'Tough.' Whee. (heavy sigh)" So I am happy to e hearing this, I really should give it a shot with something stupid like a petless mastermind or something.

A five year old could read this code. Quick, someone get me a five year old, I can't make head nor tail out of this.

That's what I recall hearing about that too.

No suggestions but I hope you hand heals quickly!

That's it pretty much for me too. I like the idea of them, but I find the game moves at a more exciting pace for me when I'm on a team, and I've never been able to stay in an SG. So I could solo them but rarely do.

I haven't spent hardly any time there since it debuted. I found it awfully tough to start new characters over there, and from time to time still find myself getting dropped within a couple of seconds by some of the bad guys there who show up in later blueside content or whatever. "Tough" is one thing, "getting ganked" is another and just not that much fun. It did look fantastic though (I've been back for a couple of those Valentine things, with toons who were high level) and I liked some of the ideas in it, but I don't think I'll ever start another toon there.

I've been idly thinking about a semi-petless Beast MM that would have just the Lions, the middle-tier of pets. BEE MASTER there already checks a few boxes I was considering though, like Thermal for the secondary, and Arcane Bolt for additional DPS, but I haven't looked into it too far as of yet. How does BEE MASTER play? Did you level normally or farm to 50 to skip the worst moments of leveling or what? Anyone else have a secondary to suggest perhaps?

Well I like the name to start with. 😃

Manually, I couldn't get the MI installed for some reason. I know I do still see maps, just w/o the badge locations. What all else might a map show or not show that would tell me this is the original and not some other-modded map?

I often think "Ooooh, this one's going to be THE ONE for me!" And that statement should also spell out for you that I was wrong. I have been having some fun revisiting old 50s lately too, finishing up a build, or realizing I never fully IOed them or something. But still, so far, there is no ONE.

"Snow Bunny" ans "Ski Bum" work better, perhaps.

But I just re-installed and it's not working. Brand new fresh install on Wednesday. I did also notice another map was working properly, but I can't recall now what it was. Steel's busted too.

The map was working maybe a month ago? FF is gone now, Croatoa, but strangely Bricks was still working. Also, saw someone in chat mention his Atlas was quacked too.

Yeah, that's why I was still using Tequila. Still don't know why the maps stopped working, didn't see them up in Croatoa either.

I could have sworn I had read it was lasting a few more days, as I said. But checking back, no, they said the 1st, it was all just a sweet fantasy too good for this dark earth...

Anybody else have this problem? I noticed Atlas wasn't working, now FF isn't, but yesterday I was on St, Martial and it was fine. Since I had the time to work at deciphering opaque instructions, I went ahead and installed the new launcher (I was still on Tequila) and reinstalled Vidiots, but here we are; the above was what I saw also, still, after the new installation.

I did still see a few players go red during the GM fights. I've had really badly slotted toons before myself. 🙂

If they broke something, I could bear that, but they haven't said what happened here, afaik. Did they say so somewhere?

Yeah, except the window decorations! *gets yanked off stage by a giant hook* But thanks for the bases, that was very fun!

Really Devs, how to you make Halloween worse?! Next I suppose Baby New Years' going to look like Baby Huey or something too.

I seem to recall being able to set them all or none with a percentage from the Options somewhere, but stopped doing it when I decided that was just looked like vegetable soup on my screen.
