event Slot Machine's Random Challenge (2025 Edition)
Troo replied to Troo's topic in General Discussion
Gonna extend this until Monday the 28th. Map Server.. Easter.. another week will allow folks playing old school to get to 30 without distraction. 🙂 -
Like account wide (all characters?)

Ah.. expectations. Tanker Survivability 10 -vs- Brute Survivability 8 Tanker primary job = Take aggro hold aggro Brute primary job = Do whatever the F*%# they want How to help your friend: I could speculate that your friend prioritized attacks rather than survival. I could speculate that your friend failed to do any slotting. I could speculate that your friend is not using inspirations and definitely not buying them from contacts. These are pretty common and the game has a way of encouraging players to choose wisely. Just doing any one of the above three would have an impact.

Just for my information.. could you point to an archetype or combination you feel is not viable? (you probably shouldn't answer that even though I am genuinely curious) Viability is very subjective. Some folks have taken characters to 50 with just Brawl. I have a character that capped Infamy several times over from zero as a level 1. Any combination or archetype would have been viable for this character. I don't like playing Dominators, Peacebringers, Masterminds, or Sentinels. They are still very viable. A petless Mastermind.. still viable. Brutes - Sure, other achetypes have gotten more love. Brutes are villainsiders and very viable. Theory crafting: Should Brutes be able to out damage a Scrapper or out survive a Tank? I'll leave that to others. An excellent Brute will absolutely out play an average Tanker or Scrapper. On a level playing field.. just kidding there is no level playing field where someone could point and say definitively across the board Tanker > Brute > Scrapper or some other order. Besides, everyone knows Stalkers are the best Melee class.

You asked, so here is some of the behind the scenes magic: Letting a reader fill in some of the blanks or imagine some of the connections can draw them in and can be satisfying subconsciously. It allows the reader a path to make some of the story their own. The 'flavor' we get to bring to a story can be very powerful and immersive. Why can't we read them? Intentionally vague is likely the correct answer. Maybe it implies you could be one of those heroes some day. Are they famous super group leaders? You should start a super group, you could be famous too. Protagonists from yet to be written story arcs? Spandex clad citizens who.. the reader gets to decide. It's your story. Why isn't this fixed with immediate effect? No change is needed. Please don't remove all the flavor from our city. Um, pasty pants, that's "Arcanaville" for statues and such. Cocktail parties, sure, but statues and plaques.. ..at least try and get the spelling of my name correct when the time comes. 😛

Hurry and get your thanks in before Snarky tells us to get off the lawn. Thanks & thanks

It's a good question. On my stalker it recharges in ~80s. This book ends Instant Healing (90s duration) nicely when needed. On one broot, it is ~100s. It's a good power with no additional slotting. Beyond the obvious is [+100% Recovery (self only) for 15s] which can be very handy from time to time.

While a Defender may have better numbers and might out drain other ATs the overall effectiveness can suffer. I've done the same combination all the way to 50 T3 on Defender and Corruptor a couple times and Corruptor just ended up being all-around more effective. My favorite sapper is an Elec/Dark Corruptor. Very satisfying. It saps everything. If someone wanted to go further draining Endurance: an Elec/Kin Corruptor, just overkill. I have one rolled, sitting (collecting Experienced uses) and waiting for the day zeroing out a targets blue bar actually does something useful.

cat herding, classic

Less appreciated: Regenerative Tissue: +25% Regeneration Impervious Skin: +25% Regeneration Power Transfer: 5% Heal (3 ppm) (not unique) Theft of Essence: 10% Endurance (3.5 ppm) (not unique) I guess my point is if someone has the slots and is really chasing something there are sooo many options.

event Slot Machine's Random Challenge (2025 Edition)
Troo replied to Troo's topic in General Discussion
Now that the Map Server distractions have been resolved it's back to getting a random roll or two up to level 30. Good luck! May the randomness be kind. -
It is a clever event. I liked 'Working as Intended' being piloted by a crew of three bugs that would spawn after it failed/died. It looked like there were multiple colors of them. The easter eggs.. so many, literally. Good stuff.

Sorry but it's all anecdotal. Sure you can say you observed a behavior BUT if folks don't know, they don't know. Calling players noobs and obtuse because their observations differ from your own is just name calling. I have yet to see anyone who knows say one way or the other.
