Clave Dark 5

IIRC, there's a way to edit the costume file for those ... well, I heard it was arms, not leg lengths... but anyway, it doesn't last, once you zone it resets (I think I saw people playing with it here shortly after HC opened up shop? Someone made a cop-outfit character and called him Long Arms Of The Law, which was funny). The giant players: they did hack something somewhere, and were promptly banned for it, ha ha. Or so I heard.

Yeah, I ran into him once too but thought I'd just not be a pest; sorry to deprive you of that serotonin boost, Snarky! Kind of like OP, near the end of my Covid recovery, I was leveling a toon and having a lot of fun with it and even had a chance to start showing up regularly at "events" like Hami raids and whatnot, and was starting to reach that level of recognition as well. Sadly, I got all better and had to go back to work, and have made probably ten alts in the meantime...

I may be a bad blaster, but my usual tactic on a team (solo might be different) is to open up with Full Auto, or to wait about a half second to do so after they've grouped around the Alpha-taker. Waiting for some effect to stack would probably end up with me using Full Auto on like two or three targets.

I'll have to check it later at home where I have MIDS. Will say though, the KB->KD proc makes Gale so, so useful for a Stormie.

Please post all of your builds, because I hate taking Fighting Pool ha ha. But as I don't have gobs of time to plan builds on my own I usually just run with one from these forums, and hoo boy is it a common crutch to make a build (just like relying on some Incarnate to take care of ridiculous End problems).

All true, but that's a lot of ifs, Imho. If you want another T1/2, if you take Kick and then Crosspunch, if you need another attack in general. Meanwhile, pretty much everyone ends up having to otherwise throw away a choice on it (not all of course, I have a couple of Tough+Weave-less builds, but they are kind of hard to arrange well for squishies).

Whoa, has someone still been trying to abandon this mission for two years now?!

Nah, this is like Cuba, the government really doesn't want people coming and going, it erodes their grip on their populace. And hey, the spider guy just got done building his massive spider-base in Grandville, give him some time to tidy everything else up... probably with more spider bases sure, but still. Plus more of its architecture is more human-scale.

I still do that!

I'd say Boxing / Kick, because they're bad and we have to take them anyway to get to something actually useful. So, I dunno, six-slot it or something.

Here we go again...

1st off, thanks, that's very useful info. Second off, MIDS needs to be rejiggered to match what the game does, that's just confusing!

My very first toon, back on Live, around issue 6. I click Rest that someone had told me about and... cannot get my guy to stop, to unRest. Can't move him, can't jump, can only spin around in a circle but still on my knee WTF? To make things worse, at this point someone comes up to me and Local chats "hey, I'm giving out free Inf to lowbies, want some?" I don't recall if I couldn't reply because I had yet to learn that too, but he hangs around for a good couple of minutes, "what, you wouldn't take free money?" before he leaves. Can't recall what I did later to unRest, may have logged out. I mean, I must have tried clicking Rest again, right? Right???

Considering how massive base building has become for HC, they should already be working on some form of this. Sounds like it would be a perfect bit of icing on the cake for Hereclea.

Don't make me look any dumber than I have to in public, you scoundrel! *shakes fist*

Thank you!

Didn't want to clutter up their forum with this (or even know which where to post it in!) so here goes, you're stuck with me: When I've opened up my "view totals" floating screen, where do I look on that to see how much Recharge I've added to my character? I'm currently working on a Dom so this is obviously of some import. My guess is it's the bar labeled "haste"? I guess part two here, why does this bar read 0% when I mouse over it when I've got lots of recharge slotted and it says "215%" right next to it? See? tolja it was dumb! Thanks!

That is not a helpfully written entry. The part "... similar to how a thumbtack is manually placed by left-clicking a location on the mini-map" should be at the very freaking top of that page, not halfway down the page. Something short and sweet and simple like "left click anywhere on your map to place a thumbtack." Like some tl;dr version for what the hell this is. And i assume one can drag and drop them into chat to share them with a group? Cause I've never been able to figure out how to get numbers of the coordinates off the map. I only recently learned that when someone puts those numbers into chat ("Winter Lord is at:....") that you can click on that in the chat box and make it appear on your map, and yet that useful info is in the last paragraph on that page.

One big thing that springs to mind is the market. What with seeding and mixing of crafted IOs and attuned IOs, they've made it work for a smaller pop game that we have; without any of that, we'd all be running around hoarding SOs or paying two billion for a single LotG or something else ludicrous. If you have even one min/max kind of build on just one toon, you can thank that market work for that. Even back on Live it was becoming unsustainable. Opening up the Incarnate stuff was also very helpful. Back during Live, near the end, I was really seeing the population gravitating to doing little other than Incarnate grinding, it was seriously killing the game for me. For me, it's removing the gate-keeping around costume parts and the asymmetrical thing for gloves, boots and shoulders now. I suspect as time goes by, the updating of the infrastructure behind the scenes is going to be more important as well.

I seem to recall having seen that somewhere but can't find it. Anyone know where it is? Please and thank you!

Pretty sure I remember this too, I was positive I had run into one of the devs on thier MM at the black market on Cap once (it was a memorable character name, but I've since forgotten it).

You'd clearly addled his mind after bashing him down the first time, and the Geneticists were just enjoying a good laugh, "look, there he goes again! Ha ha! Think we could get him to try again again?!"

"jranger" was a forum thing from The Before Times, but I'm pretty sure only as a joke at his expense, if anything.

Oh no, I didn't know he'd passed until right now. Wonderful person every time I interacted with him, he even once translated some AE dialogue into Latin for me for an arc for some Roman NPCs. Definitively someone who deserves memorializing here, hands down, no ifs, ands, ors. Should probably be somewhere in Cimerora, yeah.

Eh... it's not really that big a thing to me. Sure, comparatively, it's a long arduous slog, but we're only talking about like maybe two minutes tops? Probably less than that. I actually rather like taking a few seconds to fly/jump/speed past the city, but I'm weird that way. I mean, it'd be a QoL sure, but a rather minor one I mean, there's lots more I'd rather see done first.
