Mr. Vee

I sense Tony Danza's involvement.

Hess is ok so long as you know the missions labeled as kill all aren't actually kill all. So I guess, not so much ok 😄

I'm with folks that Synapse, Citadel and Numina need a rework. Not thrilled with Mantis either but that could be fixed just by making the old men's follow mechanics better or making them assemble eligible and maybe making the requirements on the end more clear (as far as I can tell only the larger turrets count toward spawning Duray?). Virgil, Renault, Manticore, all the trees and newly fun respecs (after the gaps were removed, thanks so much!) and even Mistral (though I could do without the first mission being kill all since the map can be a jerk) are fine as they are. The newer stuff like Yin, Posi 1& 2 and Morty Kal are much more fun. The shard ones are terrible too but I'm not entirely sure they're worth revamping since the zones themselves are also a pain. Most of all I'd like a new high level co-op or 6. But please, for our sanity, no more long cutscenes or yammering dialogue breaks (looking at you apex). They're great the first few times but some of us are running these things dozens or even hundreds of times.

Just made my first post-changes alt. Wow, just wow. I'm guessing at least 5x the time to gather one explore/zone plus all of atlas/cap ones and the accolade plaques. The lack of instant base macro isn't as much of the issue as the drop point changes, which are just maddening. I was on a level 20 so kept using LFG to Posi for easy base entry.

I use defensive amplifier on everything and am ranged softcapped on both. Rarely does a mez get through and when it does I hit the hybrid melee core or use a bf if I'm exemped. I even respecced out of light form on the pb since I never needed it. I just don't like it because of activation times.

My human only WS is one of my favorite characters but definitely not for everyone. I don't particularly care for my PB.

If you're not going into melee you're missing out on the mitigation hot feet gives. using the aoe immobilize will also cut its mitigation. And presumably you want to go into melee for drain psyche anyway. i'd echo the softcapped ranged and fighting pool advice. Also if you're already using geometry for mitigation consider opening by dropping bonfire on a mob from around a corner. then between the ones who're knocked down, the ones running from hot feet and the ones aggroed to your imps you probably won't even notice if flashfire whiffs on a few.

This has been going on on HC all along. There was a while where LOTG unique recipes were 4-5 million more than crafted. Haven't looked lately. I guess there's a large segment still working off live server habits who assume the recipe is always cheaper.

Hybrid slot incarnate powers. Melee core branch.

I never take placate on stalkers since the fast AS change. I also wouldn't skip grant cover as it has some good defense debuff resistance in it. Definitely take build up but you can one slot it with gaussian proc and skip recharge if you need a slot since one of the ATO procs will recharge it. Can't help on a leveling build as I only do a final build and throw substitute crappy IOs while leveling. Should be something useable around though since it's a popular combo.

Usually if you get the multiple instance missions that you can't enter on kahn it's a matter of everyone not being in the same zone on a mixed alignment team. Can generally be fixed by everyone going back to the FF train. The mission should've finished on its own after a bit if you'd taken down all the portals even with the one person still in there. But if they came back and exited to ouro or base while the rest were in FF the bug could pop up. If it was still happening even with everyone together I have no idea.

There was a recent price drop in them that seems to be holding. I know I have a bunch unsold at what used to be instant sell prices below the 7 million they'd typically go for. They've been sitting there for a while now. There've been other drops previously so there could be really old ones up at 8 or 10 million as well.

Just give it a hand to chew on.

Never liked that Baldur guy anyway.

Are you sure you weren't just getting a recipe from parking in ouro all the time and switched to sg portals to gain base tp charges? Also it amazes me that you'd notice this.

it's actually the opposite. it says accuracy but is to-hit.

True, but the seeding chased the manipulators off of rare salvage for good. It was a real problem early on.

It's there, there's just not a slash command for it which is what OP wants.

I wouldn't call it suspicious, it's a standard cloudflare DDoS protection page. I got the page with no captcha, saw this thread then tried again with my VPN turned on. Got the captcha. That seems to be WAI.

You'd still want a MM or Defender (or sentinel??) to keep Reichs from going invulnerable unless you really want to be there a while. He's enough of an HP bag as it is.

Poison is my absolute favorite debuff set on its own merits. I have the hold procced out but apart from that it's not. And my secondary is DP which i don't even particularly care for. I expect if you're not finding it useful on teams it's because you're playing at range rather than in melee. Now granted, many support players don't want to play in melee but for poison to be its best it needs to be.

I think it's fine as it is. The only change I'd like apart from the fix to the retrieval bugginess would be an increased stack limit. Every other MMO i've tried I've wanted COX's double blind system.

Poison's amazing but I would recommend defender on it. It's one of those sets where the higher debuff values make a big difference. It doesn't really blossom until you get the aura though - slot it for -to hit and you're golden. Frankly I think poison's the perfect set for the way the game is today. You can passively debuff regular mobs just by being in melee and blast for fun. Hard targets you have the heavier debuffs to throw. No super long recharge stuff, no anchors. Heal/mez/rez are completely skippable.

prolly wouldn't specifically want to use V then since you might want to use ctrl+v to paste a link or somesuch
