Or just see if you can coalition with another SG so you are connected while having your own base. There are limits to the number of coalitions, but I can't recall the number.

It loses Rib Cracker for AS. How the hell does that lower DPS?

Stalkers often, not always, lose out in AoE in their primary. The ones which don't by default win out as being better as a Stalker, see StJ, Ice, Elec, etc.

An influx of players when peak users on a server right now is just over 1k at best. If a new server is added, how much is that is going in the news to actually attract new players? How many new players are you expecting? You do realize if 200 new players came to the server it would still make that server a rather small one? What if people left based on the removal over servers? Are the new players worth the loss? You do realize some people actually actively avoid high population servers? Or that you simply can't always keep a character's name by default when transferring to a new server? Or that people spend many many many hours building bases which can't be simply copy/pasted into a different server?

That's creating an absolute mess. It isn't like you can simply copy/paste one server to another.

To add, the overall population is decreasing so that doesn't help generating a need to add another shard.

i5 was around the time I came in. I can't recall if I was in just before it hit or not. I *think* before. I just remember seeing Croatoa previews and getting excited.

I think I log onto Discord about once a quarter. I tried to get some people in my board game group to start using Discord, and it essentially went nowhere.

I don't think I have bought yellow salvage for more than 1k, like ever.

Zero reason for the cast time.

All I'm saying is I used Fly/hover on a Kin.

Unai Kemen's missions are farm ready as just about anything in AE.

So get caught taking alpha strike while stuck in a 3 second cast time? There are also times where a map layout would make this difficult if not impossible. There's simply no justifiable reason for a set's standard AoE mezz to take that long. Sure, it is Earth control, but that takes all of 1 sec.

Storm is better. Wormhole's 3.0 cast time is abysmal.

You wrote this around noon Eastern time on a Friday. Considering how much of traffic for this game is driven by the US, I can't imagine numbers being all that high during that time period.

I still think the primary issue is adding in devs from where ever that might be. More so when we know one of the devs has already left.

The proc and the basic End Mod for Performance Shifter is likely enough. I can't imagine needing LotG +Recharge to make Claws function properly on a /sr.

Huh. I always thought that was done by Mumford and Sons.

I remember being on a team which would have loved added support because we had so little and Statesman simply was not going down until we got the Jade Spider involved. I kid you not in saying we spent roughly 30 minutes on Statesman alone. And no, this was not a TF. Just a normal red side arc.

Runners will also depend on what the other player is using. I might lean Stone just for the added recharge.

Soloing +4/x8 is also very mob dependent. I did it on a level 48 Brute against Council. It was safe but painfully slow. I still have no desire to try it consistently against Longbow even at level 50(+1).

I've leveled so many characters on level 25 common IOs. It is really a great way to slot out a character for a newer player. Once you get the hang of the market, you pretty much can have any character self supply whatever they need.

Hell, just T4 a build and I figure a few hundred mill won't be far behind depending on how you do it.

That's just figuring out how much of easy mode a build can go. I prefer adding in how a build is to level because if that isn't fun, it won't make it to 50.

StJ is best on a Stalker although not bad for other ATs. Its AoEs are on the small side, but they recharge quick and StJ flows in credibly well since cast times are 2.1 seconds or lower. Savage is best on a Brute although it could have better ST damage as Hemo isn't worth taking. I continue to not get into SS despite how much love the set still gets even in its current state.
