I don't know the Storm side of things, but I would swap out Assault and Repel for things like ID and Vengeance. Those give you a free slot for a LotG and one of the +3% Def IOs.

I think the quirk here is if you know if you are looking at their base health or not. Also: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/32-bug-reports/

Severs went down but went back up. I go to log in and Excelsior just hangs. Yep, it is the only one who is back down again.

I was thinking how there are so many sets which do lethal damage as an example, but for exotic types we get one, see Ice, Fire, etc. It would be nice to have additional sets on the same type but with different vibes. The easiest for an energy melee set would be Sonic Melee since it is practically there with the Blaster secondary and it would offer a quick attack energy/smashing damage set. In terms of armors, we need one with a damage aura of Psy damage.

There are a number of songs which you think about the lyrics come across as stalker like. I know Adel has at least one. Sting made a comment about people who get married and their wedding song is Every Breath You Take. Bah. I should have added the eternal awkward for the holiday season that is Baby It's Cold Outside.

Pfft. Turkey food coma first.

I assume you are having an issue with Trapdoor himself as the rest is Council, and they should be easy enough with using Psy damage although they do have non-humans so those could be an issue. I would make sure to sprinkle in various procs which do non-psy damage for when you want to solo. Another thing would be using Arcane Bolt and/or the vet attack powers as even at that diff setting they should be effective. Psy damage is either fantastic or practically rubbish. It is why if I would to ever play a Psy based character I would have it have a secondary damage set which wasn't Psy or just team a lot.

This also doesn't factor in things like going Sorcery pool to get Rune of Protection which gives roughly 20% Res as a base and the Might of the Tanker proc which does similar when stacked. Sure, RoP is a click, and its recharge can't be lowered, but we are talking about adding even more mitigation in cased you need it. Unleash Potential also would be an option as it offers +Regen and +Recovery. Those are two things a Shield user would welcome.

I get the Wards being a fill in. I would still like more though. Gold side feels like something the devs started but never finished.

I haven't looked at using Elude on two /sr Scrappers I have. I don't see using it on the sturdier ATs either. My thing was adding in Rune of Protection. It's roughly 20% increase for Res as a base. You stick that on a SR Tanker with the Might of the Tanker proc, rotating in Hybrid Melee, and that's a really difficult Tanker to take down.

As someone who builds it more on the conventional side, I don't really spam Power Drain. I just find the experiment of building it in such a different way than I would helpful as it gives me ideas. I'll likely try to put various builds on test and play around with something like this, but with different ATs as well.

I have a Dark/sr Scrapper for covering another run through red side. Even at a low level I am seeing new stuff. I had some characters going through blue side, and it is interesting to think about how much of a Band-Aid radio missions are for content. There are blue side contacts without arcs. There's at least one which is virtually nothing but timed missions or another which is practically all hunts. This says nothing about how much of these missions are in other zones. Instead of fixing contacts they created radio missions so those old contacts are essentially never really run unless you intentionally or accidently do so. Radio missions didn't add content. It killed a bunch of it. There's so much content which could be added if nothing else was done than to further incorporate hazard zones which seem to be only used for specific content or finding ways to add in content related to the Echo zones. I concede it is likely a lost cause, but adding post Level 20 content to Gold side could be interesting.

Its funny because I am still going around exploring new-to-me content that has been around for a long time, and haven't really felt like I needed an update outside of powersets getting fixed.

They did it for DB, Kin, and Savage as well. I'm just saying that tends to be the move in this scenario.

For no real reason, I feel like one of the most pressing issues I have seen while playing CoH is getting Kin Melee fixed, so I just hope that's in there somewhere.

In the list of crimes Stalker Claws has, changing FU isn't the worst.

Forcing the vomit emote.

Make the color purple since that's the color of BFs, etc.

They can change it to BU like Stalkers get.

So is the Server Status page.

I think it has been the only server down for a couple of hours.

It is if they know what they are doing. 😉

I don't think I have ever pulled a bid without waiting for the server to process the request. I intentionally bid low for the vast majority of the time, and I'm willing to wait to check back later that day if not the next day or so. Lets run with the server idea anyway. Uncommon salvage has spiked in the past 3-4 months. Has the player base increased so much during that time in order to put that much of a strain on the servers? Considering the Scrapper forum at one point was one of the busiest forums on the site and now can go a week without a post, I don't think we are seeking a genuine enough spike in those playing to really be able to say that the servers are causing the spike in pricing. Based on peak numbers for players, CPU usage would be around 14%.

Damage doesn't cancel fear. It merely gives them a single attack to respond and then they go back to their feared state.

One time I went and saw a few recipes for an often not used debuff set and there were zero bids, so I on a whim put in a bid of 1. I instantly got it.
