Clave Dark 5

I don't even see accolades as being "key." They're a slight extra bit of icing on the cake, it's not like being denied taking Incarnate slots or something.

Amazing. I've tried to use that mask but always reject it because it looks so much like it's own thing (like the brain in a jar head, it's so specific and un-modifiable that it just puts me off somehow, even though I love it). I've also tried to superimpose something from beneath it like you did here and never made that work too. Guess I didn't try hard enough!

Yeah, that's just on you, like all the people who told me I could skip rez powers in my builds, which I suspiciously still get a heck of a lot of use out of leveling up and past 50... 🤔

The hidden links for April 17th, 2021 and August 8th, 2021 aren't showing for me.

I pretty much hate groups that do that already, so yeah. That said I have zero idea what an 801.7 tank is or even refers to, being just a filthy casual. Combine that with me losing interest in toons (or just the Incarnate system itself, not quite sure yet) before I can get them to Tier 4 specialness, I think I should just forego this one. Which is fine! I also don't PVP, I don't feel I have to play everything in the game. I know lots of people kept saying the game was too easy and to them I say have at it and enjoy.

I'm with you on this, but as the rest of the thread shows, some people take the chasing of badges seriously enough, which is fine of course. I'm a heck of a lot more excited to see the "Resistance" hat was granted for female toons, but different strokes and all that.

Aw hell no, I'd end up throwing cars at white-con foes with just a sliver of health left and lampshades at full-health AVs! Every time!

I'm thinking this is one of the biggest problems CoH has: only the leaders get the story. I was realizing that I've missed much of the story and lore in CoH because I PUG most of the time, I'm not too much of a solo player. Plus it's obviously been a plague for any writing of note in the MA. I hope the current devs are looking at this. I don't know what you might do to solve it.

I've found there's really little room to complain about Moffat once Chibnal took the reins. Well, I say "little," there's some. He had his annoying fall-backs as every writer does, and dialogue was nothing but sparkling with him around. And the fact he was able to pull himself out of most of those tics and reinvent a lot of his style when Capaldi stepped into the role was pretty great. I've just recently been back through all of those episodes and they're mostly great stuff. I find it brings a whole nuther dimension to the show if you're not hyped up to the gills and waiting, straining for that very next episode to broadcast this week, rather than just sitting down for some telly. That said, I can't bring myself to rewatch any of Chibnal's run, they were just so flat.

Seconded, it's like the largest thing you throw, that's gotta count for something.

So far this sounds about as fun as starting a defender solo on Goldside... 😀

I was just about to say that myself, the costume creator leans way too far into "City of Armors" for my personal tastes.

Ha! Nice try, but we all know that birds aren't real!!

Sometimes the character does really grab you. I've told this story before, but I had a great idea for a new toon (Grav/Dark Troller) and had a blast with him from word go. Except wait second... checked my character list and sure enough, I'd already made one previously, even got him up to like 40-something? Then just forgot about him, he never clicked right somehow, and I had forgotten he even existed. The newer toon is of course now past 50.

Probably a stupid question here, but will those new defeat badges retroactively be doled out, or will I have to go re-defeat a hundred Minotaurs or whatever? Slightly related dumb question, is Vidiot Maps going to be updating for the new exploration badges?

But we're getting Aeon's Gloves this time aren't we?

I once checked with one of the kiosks on a character and found out I had participated in the defeat of over fifty thousand individuals! And I wasn't even a 50th level character yet! So I totally buy that about Knives, no way there's just 100 of them!

The new harder mode should thin the herd quickly. Might be fun to watch!

This thread is supposed to be saying good things about SS... 😀

I've been "pandaring" to this demographic since the days of Live when I had a Panda-based AE arc! Ended up using the main character and contact from that for the basis of a number of toons, too. I really should go back to that...

Yeah, I've used the stars to both remind me of how good a leader they were (or how funny they are, etc.) and to remind me of "oh yeah, better avoid that guy."

Yeah, I like it because it fits my character's theme, but it's never a T9 that makes me cackle with glee as mobs of foes drop, or anything.

That would explain why I wasn't sure, I rarely play blasters.

I was under the impression they'd de-crashed some of these powers, was I wrong?

This. My first "main" back on Live was an SS'er, and Grandville was a real PITA. Now that I can buy jet packs easily, the Sprint/Slide combo does me easily well enough. I don't need to ricochet down the street like a drunken pinball anyway.
