hi @Snarky i thought about maybe sneaking in provoke and invoke panic from presence pool. on scrapper. its mag 3 on 60s cooldown. and... 20 foot pbaoe, so catchy. think id get away with dropping fly and maneuvers in your above'ish? i dunno if you have to take 2 anymore, the power pools seemed like they were opened up recently. i dont wanna do it if its 3 choices to get invoke panic, but provoke is useful, and i can be a scraptank?

sorta! more definately psychotic and will hop into mobs alone if the group is even half a blink slow to my tastes! something that makes you feel thats its discordant, but oddly quick at the same. more nightmare grasp than...shadow maul. maybe i could sneak in savage, on a scrapper. but thatd be cheating. something like it doesn't line up right, on purpose

so, dark/dark? what works best for you? Ive tried out a dark dark tank, and found them very end hungry. (i wish confront was aoe, provokes me) dark dark controller is grand. dominator maybe, but darkness affinity is really very good. (tentacles, control, sadness) stalker, brute or scrap, never tied. sentinels dont count. blaster gets a nicer cone with tenebrous. presume theres a darkness manipulation. defender, or corruptor? (pew) blaster or a melee? im totally wrong about sentinel? warshades can play too? if you could only pick 1 AT dark/dark/dark, maybe dark/dark/soul - what would it be?

dont you wanna be an unstoppable force?

some of the masks for 'full mask' are gender restricted. examples include the carnival ones. itd be nice to have them available everywhere, as theyre well designed, as are the detail bits that accompany them.

huh? its just to get more folks on red maps. ^ im not sure a game where we pound things as main interaction is best study of that interaction as exemplar/deficit of virtue, clean split by faction.

pretty much everything in this: or this: or juuzo (knives powerset), the console game was a bit meh. or surgeon from othercide: so, knives, ya.

im trying it! but no super-jump. I'll put something else in for the lvl 14.

so, im back at solution: redside quadra-xp!

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)

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 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.

you have to dance and shit, and make an onlyfans. i mean, the machines are replacing us all.

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.

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.

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.
