Cant be worse that the team with 7 storm summoning I played with for two weeks. We managed just fine even though there were 7 steam mists going, 7-14 Lightning storms, 7 tornadoes, Snow Storms, etc. I have never seen Romulus go down so fast as the Storm team. Sunday we start a team with Storm blasts and/or storm summoning and I expect we will be just fine - even if someone goes bright pink (though that would be a fashion crime.)

My claws/electric scrapper (The) Sir Rated Blades.

Only time I've seen it used (other than by me) was when we were doing a Storm Summoning team for two weeks and everyone had O2 Boost. Since we pretty much all had it someone was always available to fix sleep/stun which helped with Malta/Freaks a bit. -edit- typos

I am liking Storm blasts - it would be nice were Storm Cell more visible, in particular due to how critical it is to the set.

Are you thinking of The Secret World - I believe that game did have such a controversy.

I get going to pocket-d to change alignment (usually to Rogue) is easy enough. I can also see a downside that this would reduce red side population. Still, for my True Blue, I'm a Hero, type characters (ya i RP a bit here and there and was on Virtue back in the day) it would be nice. If we want to go full parity 4 all new Blue unlockable patron pools would be nice but that would take a lot more work. Even a Go Undercover and trick Ghost Widow, Mako, Black Scorpion, Scirocco into revealing her power that goes to the same missions arcs just accessible blue side would work for me. With Scirocco specifically a mission arc where you try to get him to renounce his evil ways and go good would be awesome. Similar to his red side missions.

I'd love to see 1k/4k textures for everything. Realistically the only way that is going to happen is if someone sets up batch processing and has an AI do it all. I'm happy to lend cpu/gpu power to the project but am not knowledgeable of textures, ai/ai upscaling, etc.

Got to 20 last night on the Ill/Dark. I've never used Ill Control before so a little bit of a learning curve as it has some fundamental differences from a stock Control set like Fire or Electric. Dark Assault is a pretty much standard Pew Pew Pew set with some nice toys. What the build seems to lack is Endurance even with Using Domination every time it is up to refill. Any good strategies for fixing the End issues specific to this combo?

Cool - thank you!

As per the title, what do peoples think?

From the Manage page while in Human form: From the action bar in human form: Yes it says dwarf, however there is only 1 gleaming bolt power. It could perhaps be updated to list two ranges. Human and Dwarf.

I was looking at that. Great minds and all that. 🙂 And the 1.8% additional end twice too. I kinda figured it was a non-global effect. Still nice to confirm and for sure know. Thank you both!!

I have not used these before. I know with Assassin's strike the Proc affects all powers, do the Corrupter Procs do the same? If so then it doesnt matter so much what attack I slot up. If it is limited to the slotted power, I am thinking something I use a lot? Anyone have experience to share?

You should have seen our 7x Storm 1xRad ITF. The mobs, including the AV's just melted. In the past I have seen Storm treated as the proverbial "Red Headed Step Child' (Note: I like read hair just using the expression) - at least back on the originel servers I rarely ran into other Stormies. On Indom I have ran into more than a few and have had some nice fun. With the expanded IO sets and some planning I think all the AT's/Sets can be very viable. Stalkers still get some shade though (IMO) and a few sets like DP/Dual Blade.

While it gets the job done, and I have already for some time had a mission time crystal in my base, Oro has its limitations and frustrations. Regardless of how simple the request is, it is to find a better, easier, cleaner, way. I, of course, encourage and desire debate and the free exchange of ideas, on pretty much any topic. So long as we all remember to respect each other. (Not saying anyone has or hasnt just saying) And respect each others ideas even though we may disagree with them. I am curious on how other servers have done this and how viable/functional it is? I know To_Hit charts and other functions are based on level vs level - which would make this work in some ways, how power scaling of units beyond basics would work is a valid/interesting question.

We have only so much content in this game. Like butter/jam on toast we try to spread it and just tear the bread. XP multipliers just make it worse and it is tedious to track turning xp gain on and off though it is nice to have the option. It would be nice if all story arcs could scale up. Leave the minimums exactly where they are but allow them to go up to 51. -OR- Create an option that allows even a solo player to auto exemplar down to the missions' top level if they are higher. These options would add some QOL for those who like to find and run everything.

I've been running with a group Gold Side and out leveled a mission. It was 16, I was 22. I could not abandon the mission. I could not auto complete the mission. The on street mission giver wasnt there (it was a mission to find Ivy after all). In the end I had to run though the entire story arc, dont think I got Merits either. (Dont know if that one normally gives them). TLDR - Why cant we abandon all missions? I've seen this happen Blue Side too. Though not for a whole story arc. The best fixes, I would think, would be to add an option to scale the mission to character level -or- fix it so the abandon button works all the time.

I've been on an 8 member Storm team (5 controllers 3 Corrupters) and yes it stacks. Did a 7 Stormie 1 Rad (defender I think for AM) ITF. It went really fast.

I suspect there may be some sort of system limitation, if possible though could it be changed from a pallet of specific colors to a more modern Color Picker including Hex codes such as this ( https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/ ) or the many similar tools out there.

I guess that settles that

Hmmmm 50 fire/storm controller with standard flight pool: I even did a cut/paste off your post changing the # to a number, with a space I just get: Without - just reg flight Tried making a macro, and yes was flying across Talos Hmmmmmmm - interesting on my 50 pb it does work using energy flight 35 Ice/Storm with Mystic Flight works. Controller still doesnt.

Hmmm Not working

Adding a small AOE to the buff, say 5' rad might be nice, only because it is a t9 power, and should be up there with Inferno, Dawn Strike, Thunder Storm, etc in it's impact to the game. I have a now 50 MM Mercs/Electric leveled up largely in a group (22+ was in a group of 6-8 Merc MM with an occasional person or 2 of another class when doing TF's - OMG the noise 8 Merc MM can make) No one ever complained when I put Amp Up on them instead of my Commando.

Anyone know how to get flight poses working? I've tried https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Guide_to_Flight_Poses with no success. Be nice were there a standing up flight pose as well, like when your hovering. Perhaps a slight lean in the direction of travel. Some of my characters are worried about losing their keys from pockets as they fight crime. And of course no one wants to be hit int he head by falling pocket change, etc.

Have you tried an uninstall/reinstall? COH is pretty small compared to modern games so it should go fast. Have you have any recent hardware changes or driver updates? For example for myself a recent Video Driver update started crashing the client until I turned off shadows.
