Clave Dark 5

Needs a proc to be really invisible, +def vanishes in combat, the various Runs are cheap and don't require a power choice, what's not to love right? 😃 It's a very skippable power based on everything I've seen.

Really makes you wonder why take Infiltration to begin with? I have it on one toon, I think the build I borrowed uses it mainly as a set mule.

I had to drop out of a Night Ward PUG just two nights ago because I got an important phone call. I feel bad for getting wrapped up in the call whilst everyone else hopped into the mish and then bowing out after like two minutes of radio silence from me when I realized I'd left them hanging. Sorry everyone!

Surely the story of all that could be salvaged from the dumpster fire of chasing micro-transactions though? Not that I care too much, I'm not super big on Incarnate content anyway, but...

Figures one of the days of the week I'm rarely on (and online) that there was something fun going on. Didn't see this till just now! *shakes fist*

I believe someone did some in-depth investigation of this and found that yeah, it only possibly procs off the first target. I think this was in one of the proc monster threads under the Doms tab or maybe Defender???

My favorite is whichever one I'm playing right now. So, I guess although she's already hit 50, my current is my tank Catawampus Turncoat (Rad/Sav). I'm almost always playing squishies, so a tank is a new thrill for me. I love wading into the middle of mobs and not, like, getting squashed like a bug within a split second. I ran my first Tin/Whatever TF without dying once, and have waded through a kill-most ITF that was something of a real workout for her, but still came through with flying colors. One thing I've found as of late is that I have little patience for having to run from target to target playing melee, so her being Savage Melee means Savage Leaping from one victim to the next, no waiting! Very easy.

Hey look it's me there, Catawampus Turncoat! Wearing her beachwear costume I made just for future BAFs. I put the "large skull" option on her Shoulders for an "arms floatie" look.

Yeah, that's possible, sometimes my connection has been a bit dodgy. But still the first time ever I saw this.

Is that the secret? I've wondered why some do, some don't.

Derp, I forgot about this post I made. I dunno what was going on, but it only lasted that one day. Yeah, it was just on movement, not power activation. But it's been smooth as silk since. I don't run with any key binds, unless the usual WASD count as well. All that said, I do wonder what caused it and why I haven't seen it again since. And sort of paranoid that after posting this it will return.

I haven't seen that... but I do miss speculation about what falvor the shield is that day, it's true.

Sooo, just like how my recent T3 Incarnate power is going to cost me all those components as well as 26 million Inf? Yeah, I hate that in other games. 😃

Pretty sure that ultimately a vampire's blood thirst is metaphorical life stealing; blood is symbolic for life, especially in a Christian society. I see vampires as fully magical/spiritual creatures, maybe like ghosts? so there's not much done with the science side of their living off blood (which is indeed actually fairly rare in nature: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/blood-real-vampires-animals ).

The Oklahoman on Excel runs MSR and more really well on Excel, from what I've seen (come to think of it, I don't think I've hardly any "badly run" raids by any one of any sort on Excel). Still though, yeah, it would be nice if these were more wide spread.

"Drac Scrapper" Don't get up, I'll see myself out.

We had gold sellers back in the day, for a long time. I used to bump into those villains broadcasting from near the black market in Cap au Diable... which... isn't too surprising, really. But as to if they'd farmed via bot or not to get that gold to sell, I dunno. I never checked into it, but I believe the usual was they'd direct you to a website to enter CC info (the gullibility of some folks! I mean, you're in Cap au Diable!!) to buy the Inf, so that broadcaster themselves might have been a bot so to speak.

Yeah, I started on Indom - really liked the MSRs as I hadn't been able to do them back in the day - but my work schedule usually sees me gaming overnight or early morning. It can be hard to even find a decent PUG at those hours on Excelsior, much less any other shard as it is; Indom would be right out. And obviously I'm just not available during th eprime time for any of those raids. I went through this with Live too, especially once the then-new Incarnate stuff corralled a majority of the player base into grinding the same few things post-50: first I had to leave whatever server I was on to find one with population overnight, then had to give up playing redside for the same reasons.

Which vampire, the classic Drac? The Lugosi or the book version? Like endless iterations of comic book characters*, Drac's been done so often it really helps to throw in some wild cards or to rethink the premise, imho (not that I'm a fan of the pointless rebooting comics though), working from the bottom up or doing a twist on one of the basics like "sunlight doesn't kill him, just leaves his powers much diminished." *"Come see what the newly re-re-rebooted Batman's powers are, now he can summon bats or something!"

I have never found Bots a slog, maybe you needed to turn them off and then back on again? Maybe the secondary wasn't working well there. I've done FF, Emp, and Dark, and never had a bad time of it.

What changes are those?

I cannot express enough how fun Titan Carp sounds.

Never had this happen before: now when I play, I intermittently can't move very quickly. You know how if you just quickly tap one of your WASD keys your character kind of twitches in that direction? Imagine tapping quicker than humanly possible, but you're actually holding down the key, trying to run that direction, but only moving each tap very little, you're barely stuttering in the given direction now, bup-bup-bup-bup-bup. I can't jump because of this, can't fly either. Sometimes it clears up a few second,s only to come back. I'm usually spending more time NOT moving than moving normally. Tried zoning, tried restarting computer. No setting graphically or of any other sort have been changed or updated. My keyboard seems to do just fine typing, as I am doing now. ETA: To be clear, it's not the world that's doing this stuttering, it's not rubber-banding. It's me that's stuttering. Seems I can use my attacks just fine though.

"M," for "Mmm, Pirates!"?

Jimmy was obviously getting too close to completing this and they got to him! Jokes aside, that's cool, it;s good to know they were at least uh kicking around the idea seriously.
