NCSOFT & Homecoming License Announcement
Scarlet Shocker replied to Homecoming's topic in Announcements
I must confess to feeling a tad choked right now. Something in my eye I think. Well done to everyone concerned, all who made this possible. -
not like when we were kids eh? Nostalgia would keep us going for millennia. Kids nowadays... no staying power. Pssshhhhhht

It's a magical place

So many concepts, so little time Well technically that's not strictly true. I'm time rich but I have so many different toons all half cooked. I have characters on all sides, on all servers at various levels. In one sense, that's a good thing - I'm able to join in with events in most situations with most types of AT (with some exceptions; for example I don't believe I have a single stalker) meaning I can provide assistance at most levels whatever the circumstance. But it also means it takes my focus away from the characters I may actively wish to be concentrating on. If you've read other threads here recently you'll have a sense of where I'm at - but then I get pulled away from that project and hey presto, something else comes along. And then somebody mentions an AT/build/scenario and I'm like "that sounds interesting what if I were to X, Y, or Z that and..." and then I'm off down the road with another squirrelly strangeness. This game is great for altaholics, it gives us so much scope. Working from memory I think I calculated that there are 160+ variants of Controller playable (and possible three builds per character) alone. That means there's probably well over 1000 different builds possible in the game (feel free to count them if you are so inclined) which is... staggering. I've never known a game so rich in its player content. So how do you guys manage your altitis? What do you do to prevent distraction... or do you? Are you an altaholic or are you able to stick to the plan you set yourself avoiding distractions?

I felt the need to go for something else... in part for the sake of variety as well as all else. But I do appreciate your input. I also have added a bluish-green tint on many powers and costume pieces; great minds and all that.

Some useful info here thanks all. I have to digest a lot of it so it's going to take me a bit, but I think it's important not to get too spiky when it comes to arguments about thorns! 🤣

Name issue: I've lost the "The"
Scarlet Shocker replied to Scarlet Shocker's topic in Help & Support
Thanks! That was about the only place I didn't look but it seems to have worked well! -
tried to rename Vitric to The Glass Fox only she's now called Glass Fox. I cannot for the life of me see where to get the The back from. Any help please? TIA

So no throwing presents this year.
Scarlet Shocker replied to wjrasmussen's topic in General Discussion
I didn't know these existed until I was given one a couple of days ago -
So I've discovered an issue here that is dissatisfying. It seems logical to me that The Glass Fox should be much more resilient than Vitric Vixen otherwise the transition from one to the other doesn't make sense. (Assuming the transition happens during periods of stress.) As it stands, Vixen (Ice/Ice crupper) is much more damaging and resilient than Fox (Ice/Thorn dom) who is struggling to survive and cannot take enemies down easily. In fairness, both are in their early 30s at this stage so of course things may well change but in my experience, although characters improve over time as you level, they tend never to improve so radically they will suddenly bloom at 50 to put everything else in the shade. I also find The Glass Fox dominator variant quite difficult to play - partly due to my inexperience with doms maybe? - and partly due to the fact that the AT overall seems to require more manual input and control (and is also stupidly end heavy) Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying all of this adventure and she would stand up well on her own and be enjoyable - but there's a different goal here. I also found during playing both that my RP instinct, such as it is, was that Vitric Vixen was the more badass of the two... a hard hitting corrupter that could deal consistently high damage, despite the boost that The Grey Fox gets when Domination is up. I also realised that the names are arse about face - The Grey Fox doesn't sound half as sinister as Vitric Vixen which has a bit more mystery and savagery inherent in it, at least in my opinion. I'm minded then to return the original iteration of Vitric to the duo I have but swap the egos - The Grey Fox is an all ice blaster with the grey hat and Vitric Vixen is a charcoal all ice crupper. That seems good enough and is a position I'd kind of reached earlier in this thread. But that then leaves me with a character floating around which is very viable and quite fun to play - so I was thinking that a server transfer or two and I could recreate the same theme with a slightly different flavour. This newer iteration would be The Grey Fox domination with Vitric Vixen as something like a Sentinel, except that I feel like I could do more with the glass concept than simply going ice/ice/ice. I don't know much about Sents but I was wondering if there's a secondary that would work well thematically but give me something different, so Ice/X/Ice. The question is dear reader, what should X be and more importantly why it would fit with the theme?
