Captain Fabulous

There's quite a bit of evidence showing it was really the other way around, but suffice to say the game was always designed for both. Jack did everything he could to dissuade people from soloing but acknowledged it was a necessary evil that he couldn't eliminate.

Ribbed for her pleasure? Or his??? 🤔

Even if your queue is empty you can still have too many open story arcs. You need to finish them up first.

Try adding -usetexenvcombine to the launcher options, see if that does anything.

Did you verify files? It looks like texture corruption. Also make sure you're using the latest drivers.

Can't you reduce particle effects? I know it will affect all the powers in the game, but it should greatly reduce the visual noise enough that you can play.

While I agree 10000% on everything you said I do have to point out the value of Intensify isn't just the damage and tohit buffs, it's the increased proc chance in Storm Cell and Cat 5. I took Gust because of the -fly, which I find to be very useful. I took Jet Stream for no other reason than it's the only cone in the set as well as being a decent soft control. But neither are absolutely necessary if you have more useful picks for those slots.

Justice for Captain Rutabaga.

If you're a Regen you can staple as many 8937c forms to your inner thighs as you'd like. You won't feel a thing. Cause you'll be dead after the first staple touches your skin.

Once again, the answer is to play a Regen. You won't have to worry about avoidance because you'll be dead.

Ex: Electric Blast on Corruptors is red while on Blasters/Defenders it's bluish-purple; Invulnerability for Brutes uses a dark scheme while Tanks get a light scheme. I'd like to see an option in the tailor/custom color drop down box that allows use of the opposite faction's color scheme, eliminating the need to try and recreate/match it by hand (which is sometimes very difficult). Also, IIRC the Energy Manipulation/Assault melee powers use the red colors from Energy Melee instead of the blue colors from Energy Blast. It would be great for an additional preset here as well. These additions should also extend to APPs.

Just wait till you team with someone who colors the set neon red or green.

My Storm/Storm Corruptor is the first Cor I've ever taken to 50. And then spent half a billion to fully IO out. It's pretty awesome, IMHO.

Umm, no. It's not. Not all T9s are nukes.

The reason they have a revive power is because they're always dead. 🤣

Best way to avoid dying 90% of the time is to play a Regen. You'll die 100% of the time.

If using SOs or common IOs I put in 1 accy, 2 damage, 1-2 recharge, 1-2 end redux. Set IO all depends on your AT and what you're building for. I used Superior Malice of the Corruptor.

I only takes one rando who doesn't have a clue how aggro works to completely derail this TF on the last map.

As much as I've tried to forget the shitshow that was the beta Storm Blast thread, IIRC the VFX was reworked to do just that. If you're finding it's still not noticeable enough I suggest using a brighter color, as that seems to make it pop more.

It also depends upon how much of the playerbase actually plays this way. We don't know the statistics but I bet the devs do. If it turns out that only 10% of active players are hardcore then it makes no sense to build sets around a niche meta. The live devs made a point of using SO builds as a balancing baseline because they knew that was what the majority of players had easy access to and used.

There are quite a few Blast sets that don't have nukes, including Archery, Assault Rifle, Dual Pistols, Ice, and Water.

Might want to add the subreddit for future contests.

Cat 5 isn't a nuke.

Damn. Didn't even know there was one. Was it advertised at all? I saw nothing about it.
