    Max hp on frostwork is better than absorb for a variety of reasons. Glad that one got rolled back, cold's been getting whipped this patch (still the best, though.)

    I don't see it this way.
    On a 1606 you're getting less benefit than on the Tanker level HP (Since getting to 1606 from 1200 or 1400-1450 isn't as good as getting to 3212), but even then you get to 1606 pretty easily just with the 3 +HP accos and a few IOs. Frostworks does very little here. It's...fine on Tankers and Brutes, but these builds already have Dull Pain or Click Heals, and also have access to the 3 +HP accos and IO +HP bonuses.
    Frostwork is currently a set mule and doesn't do a lot more than that. Now, if you were giving my squishies a bunch of Absorb...or even my Tankers Absorb, that would be incredibly, super sweet. And it's something I hope we get someday, or some form of change to FW so that it becomes desirable (even necessary?) when high-end content like multi-star TFs rolls around and the odd Nature is really, really serviceable once you have your Colds (and stacking Frostworks +MAX HP...ehh...stacking Absorb, yes please!).

  2. "Avoids the Green Stuff" by far. If people don't Incan or aren't alert/quick enough it just fails. "Dodger" was difficult before but now we just get it through raw DPS/T4 Barrier and stuff.

    "Master" badges aren't particularly hard if you're on a good team and have Discord etc.

  3. Sure.

    I'm posting a few classic heroes here, sourced from D.C. Comics.

    Source is Pinterest as well:

    Notice:

    Lots of spandex, occasional capes.

    Most costumes are bi-chromatic, mono-chromatic with trim or monochromatic with color variance.
    Hero-Villain names are among classic themes as well, without breaking copyright rules!


    See you all tonight!

    Concerning PFF, do people find it useful anymore?  If we swapped PFF with Force Bolt as the T1 power, would anyone take it anymore?

     

    In live, PFF was really useful for traveling in zones before you had a travel power.  PFF was a lifesaver for Perez Park and the Hollows. Nowadays, when you get your travel power at level 4 and people use DFB and Posi to rush to level 20, this doesn't apply anymore.

     

    It can still be used as a 'stealth' power, which allows you to rush to the end of a mission with little danger.  And I've heard that some people use it with Force Bubble to aggro groups then turtle up.  But how common are these use cases?  At the end game, you should be soft-capped for all defenses, making PFF not particularly useful.

     

    Rather than combining Repulsion Field and Force Bubble to make room for Dampening Field, perhaps we can get rid of PFF instead.

     

     

    I do these all the time.
    I don't even know what this set is anymore. Force Bubble's repel was amazing, and I'd just toggle it on to bounce adds so we could focus on a single end boss or whatever. It could also be used semi-surgically to "herd" stuff. I get that Cold is de facto king now with its extra -RES, -Special, etc. But not sure this is the right way to go.
    Force Bolt recharge increase :s. Perma-KB on individual mobs is super sweet.

    Really wish we could make Force Buble or stuff "modular" like Dual Pistol.
    1)Repel bubble
    2)+Res/-Res bubble

    3)+ToHit+Def/-ToHit-Def bubble

    Probably too much work though.

  5. It is that time of year, where our protagonists dress up as their favourite villains or heroes! Dress up as a Silver Age character and show off your style! Show us a biography too, let's see your creativity!


    To commemorate the spooky time, Kissifrott (often seen in Pocket D, less often in the wild) will be donating the following to the best Silver Age costumes and biographies!

    Additonally, Kissifrott will have some Super Packs on hand to give out, a bunch of Hamidon Origins for door prizes and, who knows, there might be some inf or other prizes (Enhancement Boosters, procs, Enhancement Catalysts).

     

    Amount of door prizes dependant on number of participants, but we'll try and give everyone something cool! 😄


    Questions? I love answering them! DM in game @Neuronia and I'll answer as best I can!

     

    Hope to see you in Pocket D and have a GREAT Labour Day!

    27 min 4 Star ITF? I'd have to see a video or be on the team to believe it. Otherwise on premade speed run regular ITFs I've had times from 9.5 to 10 minutes, otherwise random pug speed runs around 12.

    I was on a **** run with WhamBamHardmodeMaam and that's what they said, but no idea who did it or if there's  screenie.

     

  7. Idk I can see them if I zoom out.
    ** ITF is going to be the new +4. Most teams will roll it a few will be "?" and fail it.
    *** is going to be the challenge level
    **** is going to be the "Get on Discord, have a speced build" level


    The new ITF is absolutely fantastic. I've tangentially looked at Symphony Control and the other stuff, but my friend is super happy to finally have his Ring Mistress costumes! So thanks for that!

  8. Voted to axe Vet Rewards in AE.
    This will be the easier of the two options to replicate outside of AE; the Emp Merits to Reward Merits is a trade-off of immediate loot v. no more branch progression. Getting to Tier 4 is still a fair amount of commitment if you do all the powers and it should be fine to get a few IOs for your buiild after that's done.
    If they want to put a cooldown on it, that would be...ok, but I'd like a cap of maybe 50 emps per day conversion. Too greedy?

  9. I agree Hyper and I...min-max all my stuff almost. I mean I'm farming damage right now for Born in Battle.
    But people need to play as they wish. One of my friends logs in like once or twice a year and just builds costumes and weird builds then logs back out. The game is super modular; I will say though that with people wanting to get the Aetherized salvage, it's maybe a good time to start on one build you max out.

    TLDR: I'm really a min-maxer at heart but I'll help anyone, really. I've run into so many cool builds on my farm runs that I just want people to express themselves as they wish. 😍

  10. Nah.

    You can legit get on most teams with the craziest, silliest build imaginable.
    A lot of people don't know mids even exists.
    Now, if you want to run Master events and so on, there's going to be a bit of a requirement to tune your builds. The game is still very casual-friendly though, and that's one of its best features.

     

    Also, you character would be fine, I think.
    A lot of the endgame stuff is just running ITF or weeklies, so there's a lot of leeway for non-epic builds.

  11. I use AE almost exclusively to level.
    Get to 50 i n 3-4 hours, then slot up, do my +HP accolades villainside.
    Removing XP from AE wouldn't really change much, I'd just run farming content redside mostly and invite my friends instead of offering open farm groups on Excelsior. I think that would be a net negative since fewer people would be getting their builds to 50 and fewer people to 50 means less raiding, high-level content and so on.

    You can always turn XP off to do story arc content, I've done so plenty of times.


    So, I guess I'd use AE very little of XP was nuked.

    It's crazy that people probably have no idea there used to be like 15-20 different test pvp teams on live all with rosters ranging from 8-30 people before i13 killed all that. The community was really big. But yeah there's a legacy of pvpers including myself who've continued pvping since then.

     

    That was such a fun time.
    You had a ladder where you had the obviously elite teams then below them like a bunch of teams  just crushing and leapfrogging each other weekly, often with nutso lineups.
    PvP now is still cool, and graciously held together by the will of its diehards.

    As someone who almost exclusively plays Nature Corr, the Nullifier cancelling is a great boon when in gathers to launch the big Nature buffs. It's also somewhat useful if you have time to fire a Snipe, or to drop Phanton Army, or...any other number of situations where you'd just get rooted and fragged. Good example from Silent with CM, where you basically wave an arm benevolently, only to go to the 1606 dustbin shortly thereafter.

     

    Please keep the animation cancel of Nullifer as is, in Arena at least.

     

  14. @Neuronia, @Shottimus Prime

    Have:

    Fire/Nature Corr

    Fire/Poison Corr

    Beam/Nature Corr

    Beam/W/e has Gymnastics Blaster (think it's still slotted)

    A bunch of Emps, but only the Grav/Emp and Emp/Ice Def have Jaunt


    Willing to roll a new alt, can PL it to 50 and Alpha but will need help slotting (IOs).

    Qualifications: I  once loaded in on the wrong team during scrims last week.
    I was also on a 3 v 3 team with Hot and Maverick Hunter and they carried me.

     

    Captain: No.

    Also, please let's not the Overbrook Dam  map.

    (Edited to add 2nd account where my fighter will be.)
