Clave Dark 5

All gun-based attack sets will lose an attack (a good one, too) to be replaced with the "Reload" power that you have to click to reload ammo into your weapon. This power roots you and has a seven second animation. If you don't click this power, all your attacks grey-out after a dozen uses, cumulative.

I wonder how many Caltrops I could take this way... 🤔

"Hey, Charlie's wearing a red shirt today..."

But now we have Aether whatevers to collect so we can all end up looking like that! (Ugh...)

Seems to me that stumbling over the fact you've capped treausre X means YOU'VE BEEN LOSING OUT ON REWARDS BECAUSE YOU CAPPED AND DIDN'T KNOW IT! I yell say this as a player who's frequently poor and scrounging across alts for another few million, I never let my reserves build up that high. 😃

Never heard of this before, can you sum it up for fools like me?

Oh so you're saying I'm paranoid huh? Well that just confirms all of my suspicions!

I have newfound respect for our dev overlords.

That sounds dangerously like an activity only someone with any kind of focus can engage in and that's not SQUIRREL!!

For the life of me I couldn't understand why anyone would want to pull this very off-putting chibi look with a toon, like at all, until now, because I too have a black witch cat toon. Not that I care enough to actually like do it, but at least my horizons have been broadened. 😃

I suspect someone's holding Snarky hostage. Can you blink in Morse???

Is that really going to be a thing someday? I've heard the rumor, but never something solid. You think there are angry posters now, just wait.

You don't know the half of it. This morning I was playing GM scout for my league, so I wasn't at the motel much. At one point I did come back and there was this swarm of hovering pets (bots, demons, thugs) parked in the center of the motel lotat the hotel. Not in our league, the MM standing nearby and spamming a Heal or whatever from their secondary. Not clicking doors, not directing or anything, just parked. I've seen them sit like this for over an hour. I'm not inclined to do the work for door sitters, so I bowed out. I've talked to the devs and they don't seem to care about it.

There's journalism, which isn't much practiced these days because it's not cheap and doesn't generate huge profits, and then there's clickbaiting, which both sounds like some other kind of "baiting" and rightly so, and is the equivalent of internet farming. Don't mistake the one for the other.

Wait another one? What now? I have so many potential respeccing and new toons that I might roll that I might just give it all a pass and play the old ones as-is.

I'm still kicking around thoughts for Beam Rifle something, now it might be time to gives Sents a try. I also want to rejigger my Mercs MM.

I find that the big black Arachnos wall there ends up making this location a lot like a long hallway to fight in - great for condensing packs of foes, creating chokepoints with AoEs and so on. No worse than being on one side of the PI motel lot vs. the other. I'm not on a computer with the game right now, but back on Live when I was nothing but Redside there was a line of brownstone doors in one neighborhood, I think it was Sharkhead? Where you had like six or eight doors facing each other across a fairly narrow street. That worked out really well as I recall.

And rename it Eochai Plaza.

That Lego set was what, like twenty bucks, right?

I would hope more people "explore" in this game, but I dunno, a big flashing sign might help or something? Maybe just make it accessible from every form of zone transport, even the trams. Never got the sense it was "only for high levels" though, which wouldn't really rule out too many players, when you think about it.

Sounds like a slippery slope argument, but not sure that's worth an entire second thread to point out. 😃

I understand now what B.Dark was talking about, there's like five or six non-leaguers standing around over on PI on Excel well chosen locations to get XP off the league doing the work. Two are fire brutes, two pairs even share the same name. Guess I missed them in the chaos until now, as the group's smaller at these hours.

I know not everyone goes there, but it is in the wiki. ETA - do have to admit though I don't even know how to get there myself ha ha. I been once.

Yes, more than once in fact. Turns out I don't mind it; the ones that didn't make it to 50 didn't stick in my mind because something wasn't working for me - character concept, build, etc. The next time round, it often DOES work for me. 😃

That sounds reasonable. If it was easily perma, might as well have been another Equip Pets power in all but name, which would seem to be unbalancing.
