I play stupid games for the intent to give it away like a come find me game. I make it easy and not hide so they can just friend me and find me. I'll broadcast asking someone to guess the number I'm thinking of and then I just give inf to the first 2 or 3 people that simply say a number. I've given away a lot of purple drops, too. I'll buy an ATO, give it to someone and tell them something like, "I found this in the back of the AH. Don't tell anyone." It's fun seeing the reactions. At the end of the day, I made back more than I gave away.

This. I have a DM/Inv that was my main for a long time on Live. I'm not sure I've built a more durable scrapper as it, too, was able to tank LR. I solo'd a MoITF without inspirations or Incarnates back on Live(thank you Iggy for the inspiration) (where is that guy anyhow?). DM/ can provide fantastic ST damage thanks to Soul Drain. Outside of pairing it with /shield, I had one of the higher DPS numbers on the old Live Pylon Damage thread. AVs were a cakewalk. By no means am I looking for a pat on the back because it's just a game, but it shows you the potential of how great this pairing can be.

I did exactly that on each of the toons because I was going to worry about the costume later. I would even do random costumes just go get something going. I've been reading everything on their Discord. I may try again today, but, either way, the point still stands that it's not in a good place right now.

They had to wipe everyone's toons because of the issues. I've made four toons since the wipe and eventually you get mapserved and you can't log onto to that toon anymore. It's not shot at the people over there, but it is a mess right now. I really hope they can turn it around because there are some neat ideas over there.

Getting the same right now.

I'm getting runners as we speak on my Brute.

And just to take things a step further, I was on a team without a tank and we did it just fine. We all just gang banged each tower while LR danced around pretending like he was important. After the towers went down, we destroyed him. Incarnates can change a man.

I'm not saying I go searching for paying farms, but I don't have a problem with having to pay if the farm set that rule out. And, really, since the game came back, I think I've paid for two farm RUNS and I've sit on a lot of farms. But you missed my points of times I don't feel like playing, but if the opportunity was there to get PL'd without having to do it, I'd take it, even if it means paying. Another instance is I have the ability to work from home and while I can't play and work, but I can sit on a farm and work. I don't mind paying for that if I have to. Believe me, I PL myself often with my farmers, but sometimes just sitting there and getting the XP is nice. If influence was hard to come by, I'd think twice about it. I mean, I literally give away purp drops and inf almost every time I play. As in, I broadcast asking someone to guess the number I'm thinking of to win inf. I literally just pick the first person that responds. By no means am I trying to tout all the inf I have, but I'm just stressing the point that the inf loss from a paid PL is negligible. There's a ton of crap in this world people pay for when they can do it for free, but if the value is there, they will do it. I can serve myself food for free, but going to a restaurant so I don't have to is nice sometimes. And, in the end, it's all fake money and just a game so it's whatever to me.

Agreed. I have two farmers and I have zero problems paying for a PL if I have to. Inf is stupid easy to make and there are times I can't or don't feel like actually playing, so why not still get an alt leveled up while I watch TV or something? The time I sit on that farm, I probably made back 10 to 20 times the amount I paid for the farm on the market.

Why would you want to take them off ignore, anyways? Aren't they just going to be a bunch of 50 newbs that don't know how to play?

Whoa! Did you check with the How To Play Police? They can be real sticklers.

Obviously, you must be a PL'd newbie. Had you played 1-50, you would already know everything about the game and be typing up guides for everyone on how to play the right way. Sheesh. Some people, eh?

You're both wrong.

Both? I mean, the enhancements are nice, but I just like having attacks. I want to slice people any way I can. Made sure I had an optimal attack chain for some ST action and then a little AoE when I'm feeling fancy. Thanks!!

Yeah the micromanagement and time is what I'm not a fan of. More than likely, just going to make the quick buck. It's all pretend money anyways, right?!?

This is where I'm at. I bought 100 of them at the 10m price and now I'm contemplating if I want to open them and see what I can make or just sell them back for 20m for a sure fire profit. I'm leaning towards selling them back as opening and doing these packs may be too much tedious work than I care to do.

This may be the closest you can get for right now. It's in the scrapper forum, but a lot of other ATs post in this thread to log their times on Pylons. A lot of them post their builds, too. Good place to peruse.

Well just for fun I decided to run this with some Lore pets. It made quite the difference, too. Personally, I don't "count" using Lore, but couldn't help but see. The best run I was able to do without Lore was 1:02. Courageous Girl TW/Bio Scrapper Hybrid and Destiny Enabled T4 Musculature T4 Degenerative T4 Assault Core T4 Ageless T3 Cimeroran Total Core Times: 0:38 0:36 0:36 0:37 0:40 Using pets kept my times more consistent than without them. I found my time ranges without Lore to be quite large if certain procs don't go off and any impact to my Momentum. I found my "slower" times with Lore to be because of any time one or both of the pets were KB'd. Overall, though, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity as this comes out to nearly 1200 DPS (I am aware of the debate at the accuracy of this number that was posed in this thread) and there was a time that hitting 300 was a milestone.

Agreed.

What do I need to address about your video? Yes I do agree that people can fake things. I won't deny that. But I don't really care, tbh. I don't even need a video of showing proof that someone did it for that matter for the following reasons: 1. I've solo'd the thing on a Scrapper (I know you don't believe it) 2. I've known people personally that have done it and I trust their word. Some of them are close to me and are long, long time RL friends of mine. 3. Just in theory alone, it's possible. Looking at the mechanics and how approach each battle. The math adds up. And you keep bringing up designed. The game was DESIGNED around SOs. The game was DESIGNED for one hero for every three baddies. Playing on +4/8 is DESIGNED to be difficult for a full team. It wasn't DESIGNED for IOs, set IOs, and Incarnates. And ,yet, we can break what is designed with our Incarnate IO'd toons and solo +4/8 content all day long(or do you not believe that, either?), even though we were never DESIGNED to. The ITF is DESIGNED around SOs. The ITF wasn't designed to be finished in 15 mins, but it easily can be on full teams. It's as easy as piss. We are now all Ferraris racing in a race full of Geo Metros. Just because it wasn't designed to do something, doesn't mean it's not possible. So you can take your designed argument and cram it.

Here's your problem. Of course anyone would die over and over doing it like this. It's called a strategy. Does a superhero that is cunning and rely on stealth just go bum rush an enemy that's twice his size? Batman isn't going to go up to Superman without kryptonite or his batsuit in the broad daylight in the streets of Metropolis and say, "hey, let's fight." Tell me how a blaster will die if Rom isn't even hitting him? Stay at far enough range in flight and take out one Nictus at a time and then take down Rom the same way. Blaster DPS is high enough to take them all out one by one. Final Rom is probably the easiest part of the whole thing. Stay back and spam a few powers. Done. How is this impossible? How are we the stubborn ones if you won't even watch the videos? We are the open minded ones trying to push what we can do with our toons. Please, again, dissect any one of those videos and tell us how it can't be done.

Maybe one day we'd understand the game mechanics and realize that we shouldn't be doing things like this because it's IMPOSSIBLE.

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to rat us out. I thought my video skills were up there with Michael Bay. I need more practice.

In the spirit of posting fake videos. @MunkiLord and I duo'd the STF with our Scrappers. No it's not a fake solo, but we are still doing something that wasn't originally intended. Wait, sorry, we didn't do it because we faked it. Here is us not doing it: hashtag fakevideos
