[Welcome to Homecoming, Original City of Heroes Team!]

*Sundogs breaks hide* Well played, welcome back. 

[Back Alley Brawler]

Welcome back. Big admirer of your work. 

[All Contacts (except the ones that just dropped) Red]

What does the title "mult" mean exactly?

[toxic teammate]

I handle them by using the player note feature. 

 

https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Playernotelocal_(Slash_Command)

 

I then use the star rating system to place stars that can show up above the player. 5 stars for great players, 4 for someone who builds whole leagues or is a solid player, 3 for team builders or good players, 2 for those folks who like to run off or are mean and 1 for those who are a step away from being global ignored.

 

Do this for sometime and you can get invited to a team and know you're on a good team by counting the stars.

 

You can also use this macro to quickly Translocate to a target (teammate), buff them then choose a different target (teammate) and Translocate back to the team. 

 

/macro_image "SorceryPool_Translocation" "SPT" "powexec_location target Translocation"

[If you wanted new powers what would it be?]

Low hanging fruit:

• Wind Control
• Gadgetry
• Utility Belt

[Activating powers w/a costume change emote]

Cascading binds would work.

[Focused Feedback: Storm Blast]

Storm Cell & Category Five need the accuracy bumped up. 1.1 doesn't give these powers the impact needed even on Defenders. 

[Help me pick my forever scrapper.]

Katana/EnA/Soul, while soloing and using normal IOs is good. Add some Translocation (Mystic Flight) to port to the next mob quickly. Rune for when you get more than one mob. Throw in some Fighting, Leadership (Maneuvers) or Flight (Hover) with some Hasten can give anyone a good case of Scrapperlock. 

[What’s one “power” you are thankful hasn’t been given to AV’s in this game?]

Ehhh.....  Here's AS from Hide if a 54 AV were able to use it.  It's a big hit, to be sure, but it's still not dropping most Tanks with high lethal res and 2.5K+ hit points.

 

Then again, give him IO sets, Assault, Alpha Musculature, a pocket Kin... 😈

 

 

What would it be if Mako hit Build Up first? Somewhere near 4,269? 

 

You're right, IO sets would make Mako a threat.

I think an AV with the player version of Stalker's Hide used by a good AI could lead to bad or interesting things.

 

Captain Mako, Stalker Claws/SR/Super Leap/ Leviathan Mastery? Drop the Tank in the party right off the bat, placate the scrapper or blaster and strike again. Then clear the room till pressed and alternate between Elude/Hibernate. Drop anything that executes a Rez.

Some Longbow bosses or Ballistas have this.  It is really annoying.

 

Longbow Warden (Illusion Controller). Those are annoying.

Fold Space

 

See now we're tracking. Add an AI that has taunt protection and actively targets ATs that buff/debuff. 

[What’s one “power” you are thankful hasn’t been given to AV’s in this game?]

Malta's Slinger, MM Bot/FF, getting access to all the updated FF powers and then add Teleport pool. Throw Detention Field on anything that buffs, keep KB the melee and porting the Bots or foes while Repulsion Field keeps everything at arms length. Damping Bubble to push these already +def bots over the top off the top of my head. 

[Soloed Kronos Titan]

Great use of game mechanics!

I see a new player occasionally on Everlasting. Usually the moment they pipe up with questions and saying "I'm new..." you get a ton of people swarming on them offering advice, helpful hints, suggestions on what to do, and most of all welcoming them to the server and hoping they have fun. 🙂

 

Same, I've seen whole teams go from full bore steamroller to answering questions, pausing for breaks and guiding new players through zones and mobs. Handing out insperations, IOs and buffs as if Santa Claus himself were on the team.

 

Reminds me of why I still play CoX to this day. Seen this on Everlasting and Excelsior as well, last Wednesday, random pickup group. 

[Beginner ATs and Power Sets?]

Recommending the Longbow Wardens. 

 

The ones in bold are a good bet. They're forgiving on the reflexes.

 

EnB/EnM Blaster
Ice/Fire Blaster
Grav/Kin Controller

Ill/FF Controller

Mind/Emp Controller

Emp/Psy Defender

Rad/Rad Defender

Sonic/Sonic Defender
Storm/Elec Defender
MA/SR Scrapper
Spines/Regen Scrapper
EnM/Invul Tanker
SS/Invul Tanker

[Worst Boss?]

Put in a vote for the Longbow Warden (Illusion Controller). Yes, Master Illusionists and Rune Mages are bad. Those Wardens take all that and put the stuff you don't like about them into one package. Psi damage, +def and now with lots of KB.

[Strike Force leaderships woes whoas roast you stupid @$?!%]

That's why I alt and then send the tell to the TF leader

 

"<original toon name> sent me"

 

Help the star whenever you can.

[Sooner than Soon™© (codename i27p5,2nds)]

*Looks at alts*

*mumbling under breath*

5 pages of MMs. One of every Ill/* Controller. Didn't know I had that many Sentinels.

Should make one of every Ill Dom too. 

 

Altitus is real folks. 

[The Ignore Function]

Wait, we can ignore people on the forums and in game too? 🤔 

 

This explains so much. 😉

 

This why I like the in game function,Player Rating System, very easy to keep track while still listening.

[Best solo blaster in the game...?]

the best solo AT/build for killing at range consistently?

 

Armored EnB/EnM/Force Blaster PB/ER/Aim/BU/Snipe killing at extreme range. RF to keep everything at a distance. FoN for the hard fights and PFF when stuff goes left. 

 

Or

 

Fire/Atomic, burn it all to the ground.

 

[New Record (without using voice communications) ITF 4 Star - 34 Mins - 4 deaths.]

That's near ludicrous speed!

 

Voice Coms would make a big difference. It's what made Wolfpack click.

[What is your Hard Mode dream team?]

Did you prefer the sd/dm or sd/rad? Debating this currently, thanks 

 

SD/DM, SD/Rad is really close though. 

[Picking AT and sets based on concept only]

All the starting places listed above. Sometimes it's a name other times it's combinations I haven't tried but always for the fun and more about the journey than destinations.

 

I have pages and pages of character concepts. They'll be crafted for hours and sometimes months. 

 

I went Mind/Dark Dominator for my science based Lich. Dominators are very vulnerable early on and even later there are factions that be vexing for Mind/Dark. Just had another idea, off to see if I have a Mind/Savage already.

[hard mode]

You'll want Ill/Dark. Fade has DDR. Howling Twilight is great for standing the team back up.
