Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Try some new stuff with some that you may be familiar with?

 

Plant / Storm

Arsenal / Radiation

[PANTS!?!]

Could be me.

Looks like switching from 'Recommended' to 'Performance' might be the culprit. Must of done an MSR or something with some awful colored buffs that were cooking my graphics card.

then the attuned and unattuned have their own set bonus each.

 

um.. I thought this was for Superior / Non-Superior not attuned.

 

If also for Attuned is the case, I learned something today.

The endgame for you is the whole game then. I do the same.

 

makes me sad

I've been battling with using boosted 50s instead because for many, the endgame is incarnate and 4 star stuff... but I like to play the low level stuff to relax. 

 

multiple builds is a solution. 3 tuned builds per character. (if managing alt-itus is possible)

• Transfusion requires accuracy. While you're probably OK while running Tactics and with your acc set bonuses, you may run into issues if you exemp. I typically slot Transfusion with Touch of the Nictus.
• You're going to want end reduction in Teleport. Slot an end/range IO from the Teleport sets.
• Siphon Speed requires accuracy (see above).
• Split the Scourging Blast set into two groups of 3 to double up on the recharge bonus.
• While it's a great place to mule the uniques, I wouldn't bother slotting Increase Density for dmg res. It only provides S/E resist and the duration is too short to keep it up on a team.
• Bitter Ice Blast should be slotted for damage, not debuff. It's your highest DPA attack. Put the other half of Scourging Blast here.
• Slot Speed Boost with an end mod IO. Move the -kb IO to Inertial Reduction.
• Too many slots in Fire Shield. The 5/6 piece bonuses aren't worth it. You would be much better of with 4x Unbreakable Guard.

 

This looks to be good advice

[Doing every contact / every mission]

 

It simply amazes me how much content players skip (intentionally or unintentionally) and then the complaints there isn't enough.

 

[Tar Patch needs a cooldown reduction]

Tar Patch is in a pretty good place right now.

I think we'll have a better idea of that ration once you've completed every single mission in the game and calculated how many merits you can actually obtain without repeating content

 

but how many missions are there?! a bazillion?

[Noob here, can someone help me with a good solo brute build]

I'd like something with DM/Claws/SS as the primary.

 

There are lots of classic Brute combos. Some straight forward options for 'good solo build':

 

Dark Melee / Shield Defense or Super Reflexes

Claws / Super Reflexes

Super Strength / Invulnerability or Shield Defense or Fiery Aura

• Super Strength / Fiery Aura is a classic way to learn brooting. (Level 24 and level 26 opening Burn and Foot Stomp)
• Invulnerability and Shield can be tougher

 

Spoiler

Just my opinions for newer folks looking to Broot:

 

Primary Power Sets (good straight forward colored)

Battle Axe
Broad Sword
Claws
Dark Melee
Dual Blades
Electrical Melee
Energy Melee
Fiery Melee
Ice Melee
Katana
Kinetic Melee
Martial Arts
Psionic Melee
Radiation Melee
Savage Melee
Spines
Staff Fighting
Stone Melee
Street Justice
Super Strength
Titan Weapons
War Mace

 

Secondary Power Sets (good straight forward colored, a little more involved colored)

Bio Armor
Dark Armor
Electric Armor
Energy Aura
Fiery Aura
Ice Armor
Invulnerability
Radiation Armor
Regeneration
Shield Defense
Stone Armor
Super Reflexes
Willpower

 

[character name color]

you mean like Helper gold? or Role Playing purple?

 

 

[Legendary 45% softcap... True/False/Sometimes/BS?]

So, how bout it, fellow creative folks?  What do you think is the best-fitting archtype

 

Healing and melee attacks.. that can be tough.

 

However I'd consider Elec/Dark/Fire Corruptor for the theme you've laid out. Fire/Dark/Elec would be an upgrade. (mage tank types since you are flying)

I don't have a good feeling about this.

 

Looks fun.

Also looks like lots of room for missteps but it appears to be taking a big swing at 'don't stream it at home' summer movie.

[Any teaser what is being worked on?]

Ooooo

[Use the Slot Machines for reward rolls.]

see title.

 

It would be a 'fun for me' addition to add a slot machine for reward rolls. I'd settle for one just for bases.

[Can we get a Temporary Ignore option?]

This no longer exists. /ignore and /gignore do the same thing and apply to both character level and global level.

[Can we get a Temporary Ignore option?]

 

Quality of life (QOL) improvement for players and moderators. Not sure that's a waste of anyone's time.

 

A guide on how and when to ignore folks might be helpful. 

Different types of ignores (I think there is global, character, and spam?). How to modify chat tabs to avoid unwanted chatter. What to do when one ends up in a task force with an ignored player. Suggestions on how to maintain an ignore list. Add temp ignore and ignore to tips & tricks.

I don't didn't know how to edit the ignore list.. can we dump the whole list or is there an interface with select all or select some? [edit - appears it is a single entry removal]

That's a child effect, correct @Captain Fabulous?

the problem is that they aren't asking themselves 'Where is the audience that will pay us money to watch these ideas, and is that audience large enough and/or lucrative enough to pay the bills?" 

 

riiiight.. which is more likely:

1. There is no plan and they are wildly blowing cash.
2. They identified a handful of projects to see what else might resonate with new audiences while sticking to their core goals.

We don't have to like everything. We don't have to like anything. They are gonna do what they are gonna do and likely make crazy coin doing it. Could they do better sometimes, yes.

 

soapbox

Spoiler

Disney annual revenue for 2022 was $83B, 2023 was $89B, 2024 was $91B, 2024 was $93B.
Gross profit runs ~$30B a year. ($30,000,000,000.00)

 

Why is that relevant? It's a track record of success, not 'the wheels are falling off'.

 

Disney has two main assets – the intellectual property it owns, and its theme parks and resorts. <- How would you grow these?

Gotta find some more IP, right? Gotta find untapped audiences. (they gotta spend to grow these and accept missteps will happen)

 

They are gonna take some measured chances, they have too. We are hungry for them to entertain us in new and exciting ways. That's their mandate. 

That mandate aligns with what Stan Lee was talking about above.

 

The more someone does, the more folks are gonna talk about them.

They can earmark billions essentially on R&D and it rubs some folks the wrong way. The more creative choices they make the more opportunities for folks to disagree.

 

$18 for a ticket to something that cost a couple hundred million to make, seems proportionally in my favor. (sure, I wish it was less) 

$18 for popcorn and pop that cost near zero, that is offensive.

Ignore is only as permanent as you choose it to be. You can remove players from your ignore list at any time. That lets you temporarily or permanently ignore a player as you see fit.

 

I won't thumbsdown you for this. However, it comes off to me as ignoring the suggestion or worse trying to say it is a bad suggestion. You get your opinion and I think you might be trying to steer the OP toward what they can currently do in game.

I'm actually almost never using ignore because I feel most people don't warrant such an extreme response, for these reasons a temp ignore would be great!

 

+1

I would absolutely use a temporary ignore where I do not use the current ignore.

[Claws - Savage - Willpower - SR...Best Synergy?]

I would echo Claws/Super Reflexes. It's just a buzzsaw and becomes more so.

I’m arguing against your notion that people should “shut up and like it, because look at what came before” - I’m not arguing that this is a good/bad movie because I don’t know.

 

Whoa now. Attributing comments to someone who never said them in an effort to devalue their position is probably called something..

 

I said some folks are spoiled. That's all. No need to read anything more into it. I never said folks can't opinions nor that they have to like something they don't.

 

The amount of effort and engineering going into these movies eclipses what was done back then and has in my opinion spoiled some folks.
