I've been leveling a Storm/Regen Sentinel on Beta and got him to about 43 and running Mako's second arc solo at +0/x8 (yeah, yeah, I know that's not the design scale). I'm not sure if it's Sentinel or the CoT, but I was frequently getting confused and then held. Getting confused is par for the course for redside COT with all the succubi, but I don't recall ever being held on a character with a mez protection toggle. I need to try it some more to see what was stacking the holds on me. But even if this was a team, it's dangerous if your meat shield runs in and gets held in the alpha. Also: Storm/Regen Sentinel is awesome. The storm improvements and older sentinel changes make him feel very strong. Now I need to make one on live.

But Jimmy, why can't you and your team try harder?

OK, but how many people want to be named F*&GHvH or Bqk8*zzzz Man?

But Jimmy, what deal do you want to make? Also:

But CPH, why you gotta be so mean to bugs? We don't like being squashed.

It should be part of the dialogue that sends you to Steve Sheridan or Provost Marchand. "Hey, you can go to Primal Earth now or you can stay in Preatoria's First Ward. "

But Jimmy, why didn't you know? Isn't that why they pay you the big bucks?

Something I just made testing Storm blast changes on the new patch and I'm really digging it now. You can't see it, but in battle it also has the ACCHUD aura overlay on the helmet and it looks awesome.

But Jimmy! Don't forget to change the color in game as well. Every time you have a Praetorian alignment choice, you get the Blue and Gold, which I had forgotten. So it's not just in the initial screen, and that makes it more difficult, I assume. PS. My computer says you misspelled color! PPS. I took a fly around Precinct 5 and didn't see any holes in the war walls.

Can we get a lot more slow added to one or more powers in lieu of an immob? While that won't solve the containment issue, at least it keeps things in place and out of our squishy faces longer.

I was about to make the opposite suggestion and recommend a mention of P2W before entering, or some kind of indication that folks should talk to her. Alternatively, and perhaps splitting the baby -- place the P2W at the end of the tutorial with a suggestion that you talk to her if you need "equipment."

I think it might be interesting and appropriate to have Resistance and Loyalists as different shades of purple. Like Violet for Resistance and Magenta for Loyalists. I also think it could use an explanation or list of the "11 basic archetypes" or a list of the 4 you can't get as a Praetorian.

Wow. That was fast.

GL = Good Luck Therefore they must be insuring against a run of bad luck!

First!

When and where Lemming?

Kaizen, at some point, I'd also like to run a low level team (10-20) to fight Babbage, Paladin, and Kraken as those are the ones a low level team are most likely to encounter. If I'm missing any we can add some. It's easy enough on test to level to 15 and auto-enhance with SOs with the freebies menu. I could also switch characters as needed for your test.

Just keep in mind that Paladin is in King's Row, a level 6 - 10ish zone, and players that level are bound to run into him fairly frequently. It might be interesting to try on a team of 8 level 10s . . . for science!

Yeah, I just tried Paladin with my Crabstermind and between his endurance drain, extra HP and Regen, and his Cheaty McCheatface [Coil Pulse] power, he's gonna be tough to solo. I got him to around 20% a few times, but that's about when he uses Coil Pulse. Edit: I went back in and loaded up on base buffs, switched to Degenerative Core Alpha, and used a Signature Summon and a Backup Radio as well as all my pets and Lore Pets. I thought I had him, then a Coil pulse killed most of my pets. No biggie, they are almost recharged. Bring them all back up and keep up the pressure . . . and he COIL PULSED AGAIN. I think that may be on a very low recharge. Possibly 0.00 recharge!!! Proof:

*Offers @Andreah as a blood sacrifice*

Hmmm . . . I might be able to make it. Depends how quick we get done with dinner. I'll try to be there, but no need to wait on me.

Unless the events are active, the only way to do it is Dev/GM magic powers.

Regen will be buffed in closed beta, rebuffed in open beta, then all buffs retracted and further nerfed when sent to live. @Jimmy likes drinking the tears of degenerate regenerators. Apparently they're high in antioxidants and taste like a minty green tea.
