How do you afford art? (A discussion, not a question)
Clave Dark 5 replied to _Kai_'s topic in Art & Multimedia
Well someone's been having a good day on the market! -
I would have said "sure, long as you couch it friendly like" but I can see few like that, not one little bit. Online discourse has really gotten rough. I freely try to offer compliments because I know someone going "cool look!" always brightens my day, and I certainly offer help if someone's expressing trouble (I once got to explain about slotting for Stamina to a brute I was teaming with at low level who was suffering). If nothing else, you could always phrase it something like "I see you skipped Awesomeness Power, I loved that on my brute, what was your thinking behind that?" Make it more of a conversation that a one way street.

I shouldn't have to justify what I want to you, really. Just listen when someone says this is what they want and accept it maybe? There's precedence for not gating holiday stuff in some form, the ski chalet itself is open year round now. Skipping over all the other straw-manning and slippery sloping (heh, "ski chalet," slippery slope") that follows... well I guess I've addressed all that as far as need be.

People may enjoy things you don't in this game. Really, crazy to imagine but happens you guys! I'm for some form of this idea as there's no reason I feel to gate content in any form these days; it's a hold-out from "gotta keep them subbed!" thinking. I don't have a solid idea how to do this - triggering it in a zone for say 30 minutes after a TF or something isn't a bad idea, much like say the zombies; maybe a Null the Gull setting? - but I just don't see any reason to not figure a way to make it happen whenever a player or team wants it to. This applies to all the holiday-themed stuff. I'm really not seeing any solid arguments against this in this thread.

[Costume Contest!] Hero Corps Makes a Triumphant Return!
Clave Dark 5 replied to The Caretaker's topic in Developer's Corner
This is a take on a cobbled-together bot character I have, maybe this can work for you too. Hopefully I've got all this uploaded right... Hero Core.costume -
"Thoroughly," I hope. Serious answer though, my suggestion would be to go for a ranged damage dealer/ holds etc.. Back on live I was fine playing either ranged or melee, but these days, having to race from one target to the next because I wasn't close enough to hit them feels like too much work. It's easier to hang at the back of the group and pick off targets.

[Costume Contest!] Hero Corps Makes a Triumphant Return!
Clave Dark 5 replied to The Caretaker's topic in Developer's Corner
So how do we post screen shots again, sign up for some image hosting site or something? -
I was just hovering my blaster near that Atlas bridge that gores over that one lake right? Saw some guy doing the usual purse snatching, one-shotted him, and saw the civvie do this exact thing. Then the pair respawned, did it again... and again... each time the civvie ran towards me then away; once they even jumped off the bridge first. It'd be fun to see them perform some parkour to try and get as close to me as they can to thank me, but ultimately I don't care.

Solo every contact. Made it to the halfway point...50!!!
Clave Dark 5 replied to Snarky's topic in General Discussion
I know I saw him standing around in Pocket D a coupla days ago, so at least two or three minutes. (It's funny, but he looks taller on the forums than he does in real life) -
Well the wiki page doesn't mention a badge, I thought I'd heard there was one. But it does turn out they randomly hand out temp buffs or debuffs, I had no idea!
-
I was still just at 35, I had just finished the badge arc, went and finally leveled and took my first Patrol Pool power, and then called him up.
-
I'm speaking without benefit of any programming skill here (as with so many other subjects!), but that doesn't seem like too bad an idea to implement these days. I can't imagine a saved but not published story uses up all that much space and resources. Someone else can chime in and say I'm dumb, of course, but please only on this topic!

Which Redside Villain's Arc for Patron Pools?
Clave Dark 5 replied to Clave Dark 5's topic in General Discussion
This is what I discovered with my squishie blaster a few days ago. Jet pack + low settings = I was out in like 2 minutes. -
I adore the "Save Baby New Year" map, hands down my favorite. I really like it when the sun's going down, the sky gets that really deep navy blue color, and the lamp at one end of the bridge near the front of the map comes on. This is entirely subjective because I adore winter and darkness.
-
This is what I saw on my toon that I recently took thru Mako at 35; got the badge, got the patrol pool, but now when I call him he calls me guppy and tells me to buzz off. He'll live to regret that I can tell you...
-
Shurikens are overrated anyway, I mean, they're not really meant to be a fully lethal weapon like a sword; they could kill, but it's not something you'd depend on IRL. Having them be part of a set instead of their own set feels more reasonable; and yes, I do know "this is just a comic book game, not real life." Explosive Shuriken is already getting pretty silly as it is.

It's a bit weird to see a giant dangerous octopus every time I pass through IP, but I assume they've just learned ot live with it. 😃 You could say that about any and every other GM and events, it's just how the game works, imho.
-
It only happened to my Grav/Dark twice when I was leveling and afterwards, and I did play that toon a bit after 50 (that's usually where I start to roll new ones), so yeah it doesn't happen all the time. On the other hand if you think about it as you're obviously getting overwhelmed, it's worth a shot.

Clave Dark 5 replied to Clave Dark 5's topic in General Discussion
Since HC came back, I think I've only self-leveled a toon through these once because he was a solo-only, yeah. Well, twice now. But I also tend to play during vampire hours,s o often I won't see one all day. -
Which Redside Villain's Arc for Patron Pools?
Clave Dark 5 replied to Clave Dark 5's topic in General Discussion
No no, not which Patron Pool itself to pick, but which story arc to do, if you're of a mind to. -

Clave Dark 5 replied to Clave Dark 5's topic in General Discussion
Also noted. Thinking about all this I ended up taking my toon through Mako's because I wasn't sure I had ever done it before (I had). I didn't really find it much easier or faster than any of the others I've done. GW's had a coupe extra AV fights along the way, which some people might want to avoid... or run towards. But she also has Carnies, so... -

I was coming in at the angle of "oh spit, I need to level to 35 but I haven't unlocked this yet!" It's like going to a thrift shop looking for say green pants: you will never find green pants again if you're waiting for it, I couldn't just mope around and hope some dear would flit my way with an offer for the single badge mission. Best to grab that villain with your own hands and shake them upside down until the badge drops out. Picking based on your character works too, I did that for my Illusions/Devices 'troller because Scirroco's "Mirage" badge seemed perfect for him to wear.
