Clave Dark 5

See, this is why we need to them!

For a low level group, I think they're decent enough, they hit hard. I know I've been taken down by them before (probably while bemoaning my Endurance issues but anyway). There's just not too much visual or thematic pizazz to "gang members" to me, which could just be me.

Ah, I see, OK.

I didn't even know they were alignment missions of some kind? I just recall that bit about each team must have a mix of heroes and villains. I also wanna say they were pretty unremarkable missions overall, not like there were exciting new maps or anything.

It's funny: much as I love the Halloween and Xmas missions, I almost never can manage to get the VD ones run, just can't seem to be bothered to. Plus it seems like I never see people sending out invite posts for them either.

I don't farm nor play with 50s all the time, so I've gone months without seeing any. In fact, I don't think I've seen any drop for me since Trick or Treating at the PI motel ended. And that one Market Crash, but that doesn't count.

I have to admit I'm not wowed by the Warriors. I like their nod to the movie of the same name, but beyond that (well they do make decent enough opponents), they're just rather dull ones. Feel the same about the Family, super powers or no. "Oooo, guys in suits are going to punch or shoot me, oooo, gang members!" I mean, I know there's a bit more than that to both, but I'm really here for the further out ideas like "teleporting rocket pack soldiers" or something. But I do still enjoying walking down a street when I'm much higher level and seeing how far I can send one flying with some KB powers.

Oh yeah, me neither. I dropped in on one already in progress once, but that was all.

I was eyeing this as my next as well, have you had a chance to see how it works out yet?

How many are on each page? I have about three pages. I really should go ahead and delete a few of them that I have either given up on or know I'm just never going to get round to leveling.

I was just going to mention this. I was on one of those teams this weekend, you know the one, where you hit the instanced map and the brute with stealth is already 70% across the map? And so do I stand here like a fool with my thumb up my Dom by the door and wait, or do I make an even bigger fool of myself and try to take down this group by myself or what? I mean, this wouldn't get me completely across the map to the brute, but it's something.

I do because I tend to play under level sometimes and I don't want to lose my jump range or whatever. But that's just my play style.

Is that the one where a glowing red Arachnos-themed bomb appears to float in the air and spin as the energy levels builds to explosion a few seconds later? I was just doing some Striga stuff with this week-end and played with a guy dropping those and I have to say, I don't blame you, that did look fun.

All pets can be killed though.

I haven't played Doms since Live until last month and that's one of the things I love about them, they are fluid (unless I somehow lucked into the most fluid Dom build and power set choice ever, and I am rarely that lucky). They're not just "go in and punch" or "shoot from distance", or "crowd control from back here." The one I'm playing right now is the most fluid of any character I think I've played. I get to choose when to keep tossing controls, or tossing ranged attacks, or going in for melee. Or not. Or to build towards any of those, or not. Jack of all trades, master of none of course, but still. So please don't "focus" my character for me! Also, perma-Dom is cool, sure, but I'm at 40 (40 levels of fun behind me too) and still don't have it yet and couldn't give a damn. I think it's over-talked about because so many players still have a min/max attitude about any and everything in the game. (I'm sure I'll get hate for that)

Indeed, I've hit that terrible, no good, unfortunate wall when you realize that your pet is nigh unkillable and probably better at fighting than you are. Oh how awful!

Wow, I had forgotten that even existed until right now. I wanna say I used to see it from time to time on Live, but I haven't seen it once since the game came back.

He used to only jump tall buildings with a single bound, he couldn't fly yet.

I think there's a way to save the set-up you like, but I've never bothered to learn how, for much the same reason.

It all varies, but if I lose momentum, they stop wherever they are. This can be dependent upon how much time I do or do not have to play. I've recently been working more, so less time, so... See those 50s listed in my sig? Those are all from many months ago; since then I've started at least as many new ones only to stop when either I didn't particularly care for the play or I just somehow lost interest. Sometimes I just decide that say Trick Arrow isn't for me, too clicky or something, and that character's going to stop dead where they stand (I've even taken to starting to cannibalize them for IOs as of late if that happens). Some I do keep around like a "maybe someday I'll level you all the way" though. Most of my 50s with any incarnate stuff tended to earn it because they still had momentum rolling at that point, but again, I had more time back then.

So my new Dom just got her Wormhole and this is only the second Grav anything I've ever run (the previous dropped off my playlist soon after he got his), so I don't know too much about using Wormhole strategically beyond, I think, "dump 'em all in a corner" right? So far I've been very conservative in using it to dumping them right where were (so as to not annoy anyone melee on the team) right on top of the tank (to try and pack 'em into the AoEs) bring them to me and use my Whirling Hands while they're getting up I'd have posted this under the Dominator sub-forum, but since multiple ATs have access, I thought it best to ask out here in the open instead.

This. I've seen some good ones, and think about having mine set for just this use about half the time.

Possibly related but my new Dom just got her Wormhole power (only my second Grav anything, ajnd the first one dropped off my play list soon after) and to kill time I was going around Atlas Park seeing how far up in the sky I could zap Hellions to. Does that count? Maybe I could make it like basketball and try and drop them into, say, the burning fire bowls outside city hall or something.

Before HC, I think I'd only done a very few TFs, but that could also be because I was a confirmed redsider, which is always low pop. and has fewer of them anyway.

Don't tell me how to play!11!1!!!!! I mean, about half of my characters don't have one set, but still... 😃
