Clave Dark 5

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.

I've seen it yeah. I kept tripping over some guy laying dead on the floor at the motel, like over the course of half an hour: dead over here for a bit, oh look, now dead over there... now there...

Oh, I've been wanting all sorts of "disembodied" stuff for ages now, like gloves with no arms, nothing below the waist, like ghosts have, all that sorta thing.

I haven't played a Sent past like 12th level for some reason; knowing they're getting some love soon might compel me to give them a spin for the novelty of it all. I had started a BR/Traps once but lost interest for some reason; sometimes character concept just doesn't hold interest you know? Plus I am very conversant with Traps already. Ringo's right about BR, the other power set benefits if it's more fire and forget; so that's another argument for Sent. Poison might be interesting though, as there's a lot of skippage potential in there, which might leave me more power choices to make my character weird (like, I dunno, taking everything from Psychic Mastery or something; I like going off on tangents). Food for thought, there are all good suggestions! And keep 'em coming if you come up with something more. I'm probably not going to make this one until after ToT season... or that Sent love shows up.

..Does it have to be a Corr? 😃

Complain about these terrible leeches to you league leader?

Holden was good at his niche, but I don't think he would have had enough emotional range and depth for the part.

Well people do tend to post "I made a new AE thingy" over in the Mission Architect section, sure. Probably most people just didn't have anything to say? I like the costume shown, but I'm a sucker of the Jack-o-lantern head.

I have a rather vague concept character I want to make with the Beam Rifle set; the other power set can be anything, and the AT isn't important either. Have you got a build for a Beamer that you'd consider "extreme"? I'd like to hear about it! (Seeing it would be even better of course) But hey, that's a silly request, probably, so feel free to just tell me which AT can utilize their Beam Rifles the best and what you might pair with it for extra uh beamery-goodness. ETA - thread title fixed, ha ha

Wait, did I miss something, has he passed away?

I took one of the poet set attacks and Arcane Bolt for my last MM, which wasn't a pet-less build. Both are slotted with KD procs, and combined with the damage the bots put out, they're pretty helpful.

Careful, if you pull at that thread I fear the entire game will unravel for you...

Funny, I normally get that from players, not devs! I have posted builds that went off in my own weird directions more than once and had few if any bother to comment on them; it's an assumption on my part, but I would assume it's because I start off with "I know this isn't min/maxed and I don't care..." 😃

That's the point of where I start finding the game boring. I'm going to take what I want, play what I want and to hell with the min-maxing and "gotta have"s.

Like Propel, it's another victim of the "the more awesome the power, the weaker its effect" rule. And I don't care either, I try to take it.
