Scarlet Shocker

It looks similar because if I were to respec I'd reuse all the IOs as best as possible. Primarily for economics but also I don't think that build is so bad as is. As for damage, I don't mind killing stuff slow. I play a LOT of controllers so I'm fine with tickling stuff to death. I also hate speed runs so quick kills are not a thing I deem necessary. In most cases, the primary roll of a combatant is not to win, but more importantly, not to die. Sustainability is a major consideration. I do like the thought of test servering it. I've never tried it. I might persuade a buddy to join me to do some testing. This is a good question. I don't often exemp past 50 and if somebody needs help I will bring the character that best suits their needs if I'm exemping as a favour. If I'm doing it because of TF reasons etc or merits, they need to be good but they don't need to be the primary leader. A good example I just went from a Tinpex on her to a Manticore (see related post in GD) and she performed excellently on both. Not invincible but creditably. I do like the idea of takign down tough AVs either solo or in small teams.

so there we were on a Manticore (pronounced Man-tickory) TF and I happened to be zooming through Faultline when I was... rather perturbed to see this. I mean, what dead adults do in the privacy of their own home, I'm good with that. Die and let die as the saying doesn't quite go... But doesn't sausage go off when left outside for too long?

Ok this was an interesting exercise: I've taken on many of the suggestions in this thread and come up with this build It's demonstrably worse in every respect. That I found profoundly interesting. TRying to add powers I'd excluded seems to have done a big job of gimping my original build Either I'm misreading suggestions or my original build was a lot better than initially supposed.

I also need to make another point: I intensely dislike the use of the Fighting pool for non-melee characters. I have been known to hold my nose and use it but I really don't like. IT's just always struck me as an inefficient usage of powers and slots to get additional bonuses. I get there is a case for using it but it's a strong personal preference.

Also, I take the point about no epic power. I might look at that. I love Power Sink and the end-drain powers and that is -Rec so it is the finisher. To my mind, End Drain is the raison d'etre of Electric in this game so not utilising it means I should be playing a different set. I've actually given VS a spin on an elec blaster and I take back what I said about it. Not nearly as wank as it was on live so I could revisit that. I don't really see the need to slot Energise much more than it is already. I'm doing fine for End, and haven't under most situations, needed much healing. I'm open to correction on that but thus far it seems to be more than adequate. My Regen is a gnats cock under 640% and my max HP a tad under 1300. That said, if you have compelling info to say why I should allocate more resource, I'm happy to know 🙂

Great feedback people thanks. I've got her almost fully slotted now. She seems to be very tough in almost all situations I've encountered - but due to the events I've been running a LOT of Weddings of the last couple of weeks, so perhaps that isn't the best test. In those she's been pretty well invincible except last night where she got faceplanted unexpectedly three times with almost no warning. Full health, then non. I didn't look in the stats afterwards but I think there's enoguh here to be going on and I've got about 46.327 respecs available if needed 🤪

Ok that's interesting. It may be a dumb question but what does "target_custom_next notmypet"' actually target? I ask because a friend and I are dual teaming with MMs and it's been an... interesting start. We're neither of us very experienced with MMs but healing pets has been an issue so I'm wondering if this targets our team mate's pet?

So it's basically X-Men characters in a copy of an X-Men story?

To me, that was very unclear from the OPs original post. He's literally asking what powers some of the BoEM would have if created in this game. That's not even close to a similar approximation You're speaking on his behalf with little evidence so far as I can tell.

If you are capable of writing a good arc, make it with original characters. It'll be more interesting for people to play

I see that costume and all I can say is "beak ind"

Genuine question. I'm not trying to catch you out but how does the game know it's an asset wtihin the game? I mean mods can be done locally, so if you edit an existing asset is that only seen locally? If it's seen in a wider global context, how does the game know that it's a genuine asset and not a cocknose disguised as a hat?

Victory had a hissy fit too

I guess I misunderstood. I think there are things with the CC that need improving - like when you zoom in on feet they fall under the screen, rendering that option as useful as a rubber duck in the Sahara, for example. But I suspect that the devs know about most of the issues and haven't really addressed any of them so my suspicion is that it's a huge amount of potentially game breaking work for little to no gain. I mean we still don't have fingers unless we're a VEAT

if you could edit the costume files and upload them, that would effectively become user generated content and that could be very very bad. There would be penis hats and humungous boob extensions (bigger than the mahoosive hooters that we can create wtih existing sliders) and of course some bright spark would decide it's fun to create a belt that looks like a massive dick. So, just no. If you want that, go to virtual worlds where that is a thing.

No such word. The plural of octopus is either octopusses or octopodes

It's not dead, it's just restin'

You have not heard Mantickory until you have heard it in the original Klingon!

She was hidden on that one character. Thanks team!

There's some great advice here, so no need to repeat a lot of it. This is a great bit of wisdom too - it's also a fun jaunt, doesn't take too long and helps you learn our beautiful city. Even better, it can be done at any time. If you find that you struggle to get the Spelunker badge, you can do the "Rescue the Fortune Teller" from Ouroboros to get that particular badge down, but the "live" mission is slightly different so you probably want to experience that at least a couple of times.

We ran a team 22nd Feb - got the Horse reward, everyone happy, Mission Failed despite the whole team being successful. If this is not a "bug" it's completely ambiguous.

I shall check that but her global was offline too, even when teamed. I did notice it happened last night too, and I *think* with different characters. I shall check this and try and add more data.

I was on a character last night (22nd Feb) and realised I'd got a lot of MA tickets. Went to Pocket D to reclaim them. I got two pieces of rare salvage, no problem. I tried getting Bronze random reward recipe rolls, of varying (mostly lower level) range but none of them were rewarded. I lost over 200 tix in the process of testing, but I got no receipt confirmation in my Rewards window, nor did I get the damned recipe. This seems like a serious bug to me but I am not going to risk testing it any more.
