Clave Dark 5

Hm, I can't say for sure. I'm not currently at home so I can't check. I do seem to recall it was happening a lot though, like I think every time I took the time to look fro it.

I love that faceplate but have never been able to make it work in any way I've ever liked, not once. Every time I see it used elsewhere I think "I really should try that again," but then I do and... I dunno, it might such a distinctive piece (like brain inna jar) that it doesn't actually have a lot of uses, at least to me (I still haven't gotten brain inna jar to work either).

You could even have fun with them and go cheesy with the titles, like And Lo, The Maguffin Device Cometh!!

Like the AT that's still stuck with Mercs is concerned with proper balance, ha ha! (I do know they're getting a little bit of an upgrade so to speak soon though, but who can resist kicking Mercs when the chance presents itself? Not me, and I speak as a fan of Mercs)

The more I think about this one, the more I like it. That would be a really epic strike force for villains. ETA - and then at 50, another one based around the same idea, but that has you stealing Mercy from Arachnos for yourself. Mwuhahahahaha!

Perfectly understandable, I generally dislike aiming for expensive builds as well lest I commit to a build only to discover I don't really care for the way it plays but have sunk half a billion into it or something, Plus there's always new shineys down the road to distract me.

I have done some PUGs like that (basically zero chatter), but those did stand out to me for being such; usually a joke or something will always fly between each mission on a TF.

This reminds me of a recent run with a new Dom. For some reason, we kept losing people as the TF went along (partly could have been because one guy kept doing a Leroy Jenkins all the time) and when we got to that last mission, we were down to a five person team. But as we'd been an eight person team when we started, we had to fight eight duplicates anyway (my Dom was two of them in fact). That was fun to finally actually clear! Which we did after just a couple of wipes.

I'm no meisterbuilder, but one question I have is why no Gaussian's in Spot Prey?

"Silly vehicle" 😃 Great guide!

Malware messages aren't uncommon for the Tequila. When I first tried to set everything up, it would just NOT play nice no matter what. A few days later I just happened to be switching net providers and viola, suddenly it was all ok. Computers be weird, brah. (And I didn't know the HC launcher was already out there 👀)

I had happened to start an Ice/Sav Dom so I respecced and I'm giving this a whirl, but I don't think it's for me. The main issue is I think that I felt like I was trying to run a particularly squishy Scrapper or Stalker but without the benefits of being a Stalker or a Scrapper, so that I was missing out on the benefits of actually being a Dom. Still an interesting build though! Sigh, now I guess I need to try and plot one to fit my playstyle myself. I make builds like Bender makes money - I prefer to steal them and complain when I have to do something.

I'm not much a fan of the lore* so I don't really care all that much. Just make the current story I'm in the middle of compelling enough. *Fandoms obsessively tracking stupidly tiny details as if it matters that Darth Vader once met Bigg's great-uncle in some comic from twenty years ago is one of my bug-a-boos.

Me, I'd go for the Summer Blockbuster. No worries about canon, short and sweet and with a wide possible range of mission types (meaning formats, stuff that plays with the mechanics of missions in ways that radios never do), etc. You guys wanna take fan-made AE missions into "the real world" of the game? SBB is sittin' right there. Plus those popcorn bots are the best.

Maybe this has been reported but I recently started a new Dom who's rocking Arctic Air (perhaps related?) and have noticed two things not working out well with him: 1) I chose Beast stance for him but often it's not working and he jogs along per normal. Zoning seems to help fix it. I've tried turning off AA, Beast Run, but none of them seemed to help reset other than zoning. 2) His Nem Staff blue blast effect fires off before it should. He pulls it out, rears back to "throw" it and it fires off right there, although he still completes the "throw/casting" animation.

"Who is Vaal?" "Vaal is Vaal. He is – everything."

You messed up a TF, that guy accidentally deleted his email to his other toon with fifty mill, this one accidentally traded a purple to a stranger, that one over there deleted something. The list goes on. Won't, yes, because there's just not enough time for a volunteer effort.

They always say that. If they had to go into the records to confirm and then reset something for everyone, they'd never get round to anything else. Besides, now you've learned how to not have it happen to you again 😀

I always love this topic, because there are indeed some that still confuse me.

You really think they're going to help out a VILLAIN?!

Oh yes I do! Even with a travel power, it's a real finger-in-the-eye to anyone heading that way. Our new devs should build a hole in it.

Costume palette favoring the cooler color-end of the spectrum. Like there's a single red and a single orange, but like what, five shades of blue-green?

The rescue-ee could actually say something like "OK, Clave Dark 5, I'll follow, just get me outta here!" or something. Still, this is barely even a gripe most of the time, I'd rather see the rescu-ee get fixed so they can follow my stalker while in Hide.

Pretty sure that intentional and the show's part because they wanted to do what they wanted to do without having to play by the rules; the jokes and fun of having bayou boat chases was the point, not historical accuracy. Just look at the vehicles on Paragon City streets, same thing!

That would be amazing.
