Scarlet Shocker

That's an interesting idea. One of the things I absolutely love about this game and it's real strengths is there are many different ways of "doing it right!" I am pretty sure that any test of TF/Farm would produce a lot of different two-player combos and once run a few times there would be a pretty close finish with a wide range of duos. I also bet that if the top five duo teams played different combos they'd also come out in roughly the same order regardless of the duos they picked. If anyone is interested in doing something like this in EU compatible times I'd be up for it. I love gigs like this.

The issue there is that you lose one set that's great for de/buffing and secondary effects. As @biostem points out you can get damage from pool powers to supplement your perceived lack of damage. I do agree that some trollers lack significant damage - I have a Stone/Thermal that I've had since live that is my go-to for teaming. Really solid holds, good buffs and debuffs but solo he can lock stuff down and tickle it to death. Other control sets do have a bit more oomph hence my suggestions. I might even change out the Ill/rad for a Dark/Rad or Dark/Poison

two controllers: Plant/Storm & Ill/Rad

I don't often play melee characters but I do love the way Kin melee looks. It certainly looks high energy and I can imagine it would look great seeing two go at it

Be kind, always, until they reveal themselves to be a dick to your face, is a maxim I try to live by.

This is unhelpful. When a person online goes dark it can mean a multitude of things. I have experienced situations where somebody I cared greatly about suddenly vanished and it was not until much later I learned that they had died, unexpectedly. When someone disappears, we can respect their actions but knowing they are safe and have moved on at least gives us a chance to move on ourselves without worrying about someone we've come to enjoy and respect having experienced serious trouble. It's common courtesy on @Snarky's part to let us know and, just maybe he can be persuaded to remain and bite another day.

Dammit you beat me to it @Snarky is as @Snarky does I guess.

Absolutely. I'm not complaining at all. As a solution to a player problem, it works very very well.

that's what she said!

The short answer is "No" Ouroboros was created to meet a player need - a way to complete missons and arcs that were skipped by the normal travel of the game. It's important to bear in mind that at that time, origin arcs were an actual thing so many mission lines were excluded simply because you did not fit. Ouro addresses that need and in large part it works very well - it means that content is available to every single character and nothing that doesn't require a team is doable. BUT it had to be squeezed and bashed and warped to fit within the existing lore and some of it is a bit... lumpy. Even if you are able to overcome those above issues you must ask yourself one important question: Who will take up the Ouroboran historical mantle when there are so many more pressing content issues to be resolved. Er go, the long answer remains "No" Good question though.

That must be really painful

I'm not quite sure how signposts to @Snarky's best B movies are relevant. I see a few that I wish I hadn't seen, On Walden Pond, I cum on the waterfront, Independent Portatlanta, Mecca Bingo and many more besides. How many can you see, children?

Romans were very camp as this famous historical documentary demonstrates

Surely you should prefer harmony over discord.

That's the one!

Thanks. Useful info

I recently rolled a Kinetics/Beam rifle defender and I'm enjoying it a lot in teams. I've very limited experience of either power set - so what should I think of when moving forward. I'm lvl 17 currently so I've got a few powers but I want to remember what the essentials are. I took Hasten, as I often do with many of my toons, and I realised that might have been a mistake because I might not be benefiting from Siphon Speed. Do these stack?

Thanks. This is helpful... but my config looks quite different. I might have to screenshot it later.

No tax but sure, it's just the psychology of it that was sucky That and winning a speedboat 70 miles from any place you could use it

I felt the need to rationalise my CoH game folders - blame @Snarky and his thread. I'd notice occasional freezing glitches and stuff and my map icons were borked too. So I've got a fresh download and install but I want to transfer my costumes (and in an ideal world, binds) from my old folders to the HC ones. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

the kind you summoned with your incorrect incantation of that "powerful love spell" Don't deny it... we all heard you.

How can it take? Mostly I genuinely think RNG hates me... but it remembers me sometimes and pops it's pustule-infested, lice-ridden, wart-covered face into my game just to go "Ha! I still hate you!" There used to a be a quiz game on British TV in the 70s and 80s where they'd take losing contestants and say "come and see what you could've won!" There'd be a speedboat, or a caravan (trailer) or a luxury car or some such... stuff people would have to either save or borrow to own in the real world. So not only did they lose the game, salt was rubbed in their wounded emotions on national TV too. That's what RNG thinks of me.

oh dear you made me do it then didn't you? Your fault But it's better in the original Klingon
