Pretty much, yes.OK, that's fine - how might one go about encouraging players to play red / provide incentive to do so? pretending one wanted to.

max fury on a brute is hardish to sustain. on my fire farmer brute, i get some 250-300% normally, not 600 or whatever. it can get to that in the khalisri maps or caves with cosplayers... but in corners or if im supplementing w reds. maybe im doing it wrong. thos is at aggro cap.
so 0.75×3.00 is 2.25, that may balance against crits.
what i dont know if if its counted towards the damage cap when you crit... i.e. is the scrapper buffed potential much higher if ALSO somehow damage boosted?
i also have not much understood scrappers, who should have aoe taunts if theyre going to have that take a slot... stalkers seem a better choice to me, and hide is very useful.

I see you repeating this and it makes no sense to me.
i mean 2x of 2x if you took the booster - base 2x. so... quadra-expeeee! you think Im daft?
planetside used to do this based on faction population, and it has an amazing effect on balancing the player pool distribution.
if they did it in cycles (red moon, gold bloom, blue tune), or made it build like the powers you unlock for alignment... itd probably cause waves of folks moving back and forth with. simply for the buff.
red side is that good, imo. but suffers from availability of folks starting groups in the 10-30s.
you see folk over for their patron unlocks, but it can be ghost towny aside.

ok! i was able to mash 23 bosses at talos on the south beach mid island bit, at 17. this will work.
and youve done all the hard stuff. bit fed up with bio, so thisll be fun. ty.

was doing the tf with countess, and a crey science assault crew jumped me!
a pro squad they were; with red armor on display, and clipboard by cryogun.
id have died. but appear a 'dark reaper' all on his own. purple black flame, or darkness licked armor. He cleaved them in twain.
i dont even know the powerset, it happened so fast. bulky, and well thought design, and a devestator fated to save me.
my character, 'goats cheese yes pls', was most appreciative.
even years on, you sometime encounter wandering heroes of legend.
throws the mind back to super strength brutes descending upon me in pvp. on a fire rad corruptor that time. or flashes of a tanker ripping rikti like its real. some of these things you see, they stay with the mind, imprinted like.
today I saw a hero. in creys folly. they saved me.

goats cheese yes pls, the seismic kin corruptor.

When I search for stuff like that, all that comes up is porn.

I'm actually thinking about starting an alt just to run DFB missions, so I can ask, "Anyone new to DFB?" And make it a welcoming experience. I probably won't do that, but it's a thought I'm having
thats how decent community happens ^

i found a stalker from 689 days ago *name warning* who had upon him 2x full stalker ato sets.
so aside from the obligitory i need to farm, thats a ready to go character.
now stalkers, is energy melee/energy aura a thing?
it does ok on the tier list blah, but is it ice/bio nice?
is stone/stupid-bio the way to go?
is brimstone gonna make me regret not taking a huff?
is en/en decent?
-
patron pools can also scourge, its bc corruptor AT.
-
scourge sometimes doubles damages when the mobs lower in health. its like an execute, and very effective with dots.

Perfect. Licence Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Theatre of Hate, Cramps etc and stuff... get some atmosphere going!
i still cant find it, but my favorite was the autoplay music on the menu that was on the CoV delixe edition media. it was either a demo disk, or the main thing extras disc... but it had neat sounds...
gone but not forgotten.
redside needs xp buffs. telling you, they'll move, that day.
-
not gonna presume OP knows:
you can detach the map. the blue button on the bottom left of it when it's displayed - makes it free floating window. so you can then make it mini, and give yourself that.
pressing m will make the free floating version vanish and reappear from then on and itll remember across sessions of play.
i get lost all the time, bloody caves and thing are hard to navigate.

Travel powers to be free (not taking up a slot) but you get them at 14 and can only choose from 1 power set this would keep people from taking all of them
at least we got fitness. that plus the manditory kick/tough/weave on squishies meant a lot of power choice loss.
you can make do without a travel power, i often do. justy wolfy run and a sprint, a jump and run io in swift and hurdle. a steam pack for big tall walls.

red side.
gooderer music, better atmosphere, 🎰 casino dreams, and mobsters selling them.
leave the guy to die in a fire in an early quest line. rob banks.
but no one's there.
the core loop is power combo and unlocks while levelling. so people want to accelerate that.
if they had (double) double xp on redside, people would move that day.
aint nobody got (time for that).

badge run?
no aoe. good job. heh, its like folks are on auto.
its kind of a ritual, DFB. with how folks behave.
if theyre awful, thats rarer, but its a person with a problem theyre transposing to a game sysyem context, or their commentary around that as they see others. something is wrong with their head, or place its at, not yours.
honestly, lvl a new char to 2, just run south and kill a few with double xp on.
few posts back up, someone made a nicer version of this infos.
as said, if you can stomach it, 4x DFB runs for the buffs - probably worth. they stick until your 22. makes life easier.
DIB, is more fun. people have powers to use by then, and the twin giants are challenging enough at that level that the badge for killing them both within 15s or whatever it is. more entertaining.

i have contracted rat disease.
in the last 3-4 hours.
tickle irritation up the nasals, feels like you want to snort inhale all the time.yellow phlem with thick bits with saliva mix, blocked ears, minor headache, a bit weakened. damned eyes are sore. fabulous.
hopefully it passes over the night, rammed up the heating.cough medicine expired 2y ago, no taking.
i always worry people at work will think I'm lying, or that it illustrates a failure state to be sick. every interaction is a balancing act of perception, presence... doesnt matter if your productive and your quick.
...dont you know, the machines replace us all on 5-10. or someoght suppose...
i did manage to get my seismic/kin 'goats cheese yes pls' to 38 before the sickness drew me low...
are you supposed to eat or starve yourself?
its feed a cold. but im not at all hungry.
i cant go out of my room too long as its cold elsewhere in the house.
its not covid, mercifully.
-
i skip the rez, everything else on the list is good. some people use the rez as a (highly, and wastefully) niche attack. i have to believe power choices go better elsewhere.

yay, earth/earth.
to the other - on live, the whirlwind that was race to 50 on CoV launch, was a plant/thorns.
theyre still awesome. thorns has def down and poison damage dots, it wrecks.
spine burst is fantastic, as is flong thorns. the final ones good too.
skip spirit tree - 150% regen isnt doing crap in a fire fight.
enjoy creepers. i used to think the spirit tree let them move, but thats not true.

thermal. all the things.
kin. it is superior.
cold. some skills boring.

earth/earth really shines. force feedback everywhere, making permadom less build restrictive in some ways.
elec is decent, but a number of the primaries dont benefit from domination because theyre pseudopet things. having said that, the sleep patch pulses, which makes melee less dangerous.
/thorny assault is very good, despite spine pop animation delay.
/savage is great with earth also, you wont miss.
-
ive tried fire (good), sonic (they tell me Id be happier as a defender), and... more recently seismic.
seismic/kin is great.
while not rad levels of def down, you do that.
dont even bother with force feeback, you wont need it.
the cone and aoe ranged are up almost as quick as you can cast them with hasten and siphon speed running.
meteor is fun, the knockback is real.
critically, animations are quick, and theres zero travel time for several skills. by that i mean theyre not a projectile and just smack stuff. like staligmites does.
there is a delay with the aoe ranged upthrust, and for main nuke meteor, before it hits. so you can one two punch in either order and both will hit as the mobs were there at cast time.
having a build up is nice, and so is having staligmites - one of the best controller / dom primarys from earth control. again quick, mag 3, AND its damage goes way up if it has an orange border because youve got seismic power stacks.
its forgiving, you dont lose stacks for jumping or anything crazy, you just wont generate them if flying. so there's that - if youre a hover fan its not a good powerset.
could not be more happy with seismic. quick, good enough, ready.

will it be wind sets?
i hope it is wind sets.
will it be cross faction invasions?! like they had in aion?
i hope its cross faction invasions.
thatd boost redside. same if they did xp boost by inversion of pop ratio, like planetside did. level range auto exemp it to prevent grief explode.
will it be capes? I'd rather have more wings.

i think encouraging convos globally (LFG being the most active channel) is good for the server and the game as a whole
yes!
people used to hang out in barrens or org to hear trade or global chat.
what folk say, isnt always gonna fall to ordered focused comms, kupo. its flavor. kupo.
so the more, the merrier we'll be.

i dont like how voltaic gets detoggled if you get cc'd, annoying to resummon. but aside, its good.
thunderous blast seems to delete mob groups, and the zappy dot pbaoe one.
whats good dps (dont say fire)?
its gonna be nice for set bonuses having a good melee for hecatomb, a good pbaoe, a good ranged aoe, a good ranged, and even a pet. hell, i can put the fancy end ones that have damage in dynamo.

well put in rest of your post.
above quote: this feature sorta already exists, albeit you need to be on the same map as a gold'ish type. unfortunatelt, this gets you left off invites as people cant be fussed waiting for you to be on map, or misunderstand the error message they get when trying to, and are flooded with other invite requests.
opening it up would greatly increase the place space, mission diversity, all sorts.
the faction barrier doesnt really need to be there, or maybe its so all over the code base its a pain?
but they have it working, implemented, those that can float between. just with odd restrictions which mean folks dont do it (hampers group formation)
