Confuse is one of my favourite mechanics. 

Mine too.  I remember PvPing way back, getting confused in the fray and killing an ally.  Also was in a team recently where the poison player got confused and some of the team started choking, forcing him to get away from the team.

[Longest Hospital run back?]

rubbish twitch skills so died a lot.

Twitch skills I find less important in this game; things seem to stack and overlap, that often when you try and pop an inspiration, computer says no and you're already dead.  Trying to predict aggro's land point and spread I find more important.  Often trying to do that on an incarnate trial though is akin throwing confetti into the air and trying to catch it all.  I got a character to the vet levels without dying (a lot easier now), then stepped into an incarnate trial for the first time and got nuked from orbit.

Hydra Abandoned Sewers TF

Oh yeah, the hospital run on this one isn't nice.  Then by the time you get half way back, everyone who was alive is now dead and running back from hospital too.  And THAT gun toggle.  I think the person who designed THAT gun toggle was the same person who designed the character bio editing.  With the except of the Lady Gray TF and the mothership raid, you'll probably never have more Rikti attacking you.  Why then the only weapon that can hurt the AV and keeps you from using your other powers, takes 12.. 17.. 23 seconds? to untoggle I do not know.  I say all those numbers because it seems that it can be any of them and totally random.

Over to you guys

Yeah, as other's have mentioned, The Hollows and Independence Port spring to mind.  I remember doing the Atta mission where a number of the team were self declared, stoned as hell.  It was a team full of scrappers and blasters, I was the only defender and I didn't have recall friend.  We got there in the end but it took about five hours.

 

In the early days, I also remember a guy in The Hollows who repeatedly and impressively crossed the through the middle of the Gulch only to die every single time to the same mob outside the mission entrance.  The mob was too high to defeat but not too close to the door.  He never moaned, in fact he never said anything 😄

[Admiral Sutter Task Force is awesome]

Yeah Sutter is a good one.  First time I did it since live was with 5 MM's and a leader who was all 'GO GO GO!'  I had absolutely no idea what was going on.  I just made sure I got to the doors first.

 

The last mission/maps in the Operative Renault and Silver Mantis SF's I always find fun too.

[Game seems way to easy.]

I’ve toyed with running +4/x8 right out of Outbreak.  (One could do it at level 1, but not having Rest is a little too masochistic for me.) Solo missions only.  No street sweeping unless that’s your mission.  Run it to 50.

 

Actually, it’s just that first mission that’s a killer.  About once a week I try this on an illusion/poison controller and invariably give up after 15 minutes.  But I think that once I get that first level under my belt, I’ll roll.

I always thought this would be a neat way for a small team SG/VG to play.

[Power/Patron Pool Question]

You can have four power pools and a patron pool.  Same with epic power pools.

[Devs: Too much powercreep, not enough challenge]

There's also street hunting above your level.  

["Smoke" Blaster Concept Viability]

If you haven't got your heart set on a blaster, you might want to also consider a fire/dark controller.  You get 'Smoke' from fire/ and 'Darkest Night' from /dark (which you can colour to look like smoke too).  Then there's 'Char' on top too   'Tar Patch' might also fit your concept perhaps.

Maybe I should look into replacing Sonic’s sounds with something more pleasing.

Sure this is something I can throw together; I was actually already contemplating this myself 🙂

 

Fantastic!  Many thanks.

It seems I should enjoy being unique (or maybe a glutton for punishment), as my duo seem to be rare.  I apparently have the only 50 Broad Sword / Fire Scrapper and one of only two Broad Sword / Ice Scrappers.

 

 

 Congrats on the one off.

 

Cipher, do you think we could ever get a list of vet lvl 50+ or vet lvl 99 type dealy?  I'd be curious to see who continues to play these combos, especially some of the odder ones.

[Flavour of the Month: Power Percentages]

Thanks again for doing this.  

[Flavour of the Month: Level 50]

Thanks for the info Cipher.  Very interesting!
