Lockpick

Agrred, and I usually solo it if I feel my character can do it, because I can finish in 60 to 70 minutes and I have been in bad groups that are 90+.

I would suggest changing the order of the WSTs, so that the Task Force Commander Task Forces are one after the other. This way a character can get TFC within a 5 week period.

So, I'm interested in what QoL features are missing? From my perspective when CoH was Live it had many more features than newer games that came out. Only game I have seen that has the character description for others to read.

Once you create the T2 Agility Radial Boost and select info the header description is different from the main description. Header states End and Def, main states Recharge and Def. Should be End and Def.

Good intel, thank you! I tend to use my merits for Converters for conversion roulette, Winter IOs, and Purple Recipes. Never thought purples would be so low, but to be fair I do check the purple price before using merits. If the price is over 20 million and I want the purple NAO I just use merits. That being said, I look at it slightly different. Merits are free and I can earn 200 merits a day by doing a Hami raid and a TinPex, so I will typically run that content until I have all the purples I need for a character and then go back to normal marketing.

Agreed, I think Thunderstrike is underrated. I usually slot it for the ranged defense but the other bonuses are all useful.

You could also consider a DP / Ninja Training Blaster. Equilibrium did have a sword fight at the end. Although my DP / MC character is an Equilibrium / 97 Steps homage character.

I'm actually playing my 2nd DP/MC now. I skipped Burst of Speed on both. Well, I had it on my 1st one, but never used it so respecced out of it. My 2nd DP/MC I went down the Inner Will and Rune of Protection path and am finding it quite good. Both were built for 45%+ Range and S/L, so survive pretty well. I still get a kick out of Ki Push and then shooting the baddie as he flies through the air.

I believe you are the one that kicked off the snide / snarky remarks, but your lack of self-awareness probably prevents you from seeing it. It seems like you are quite sensitive based on your long wall of text in your signature where you brag about putting people on ignore. Here is a hint: if you are putting multiple people on ignore, it might be a good idea to look into the mirror, because it is very likely that you are the problem, especially if this thread is any indication of how you usually interact with others. Please add me to your ignore list, since you seem to take glee in collecting ignore trophies.

No, I don't consider most powers that build up additional effects to be hokey. Combo systems are fine, Sentinels are great (usually). I specifically called out Storm Cell as a hokey gimmick because you have to lay out a Location AoE to get effective use of your powers and then it slowly follows you, Another hokey gimmick I dislike is Reaction Time where you get a recharge bonus if you deactivate the power. I love MC as a set, but dislike that type of mechanic. Anyway, I apologize to one and all if I offended anyone with my use of the word "Hokey". I will now go back into my box where I don't post for fear of offending people.

Thank you! You added depth to the conversation and I certainly appreciate you chiming in!

A number of people recommended Marine, so I went with a Water / Marine Corruptor. Thanks for all the replies!

Out of the new sets that HC has developed, which ones are fun to play and strong enough for all content? Fun to play for me is to not have hokey gimmicks like Storm Cell.

Can't believe no one commented on this one. I see what you did there, Leroy.

I went into the base on a lark with a new character and was amazed! I have never seen a base that big and don't think I saw everything. Well done, that must have taken a ton of effort and all the supporting players you had were awesome. I especially liked the 2 dolls that were thinking about "playing" with me!
