Snarky

My favorite CoH time travel story is one I made up myself. So good I am currently reusing it. From my perspective (a gamer) the CoH world is static. You can run through it, but not really change it much. Also, there are the Menders and Ouroboros. This led me to postulate the Menders had placed CoH in a "time bottle" sealed away. So a future culture sent a robot probe to investigate. My last "solo all arcs and contacts" was this robot probe. I am redoing this theme with Snarky the Vampire, from the future when he is a demi lich. He wants to know why the Menders have done this and sends himself back though time into the "time bottle" to investigate the world (solo everything)

Your experience cannot be denied. I played on a few servers on live. It was my understanding and experience Freedumb had a more active redside than Virtue. Ymmv, and obviously did.

the last two Synapses i have done we have lucked into small maps on every kill all. even with a disorganized pug we were just over an hour. the killer team was faster. not the fastest i seen, those were some maniacs that cleared the whole thing in 35 min and said that was not near their record. i have advocated for hard coding the small maps. i wish this was an indication i was heard. what are other people Synapse experiences currently?

so power from the Well is a McGuffin, because it is an Eternal self aware font of power with undiscernible motives, but it is a thing? weird body+yello sun is NOT a McGuffin Being a God or Cosmic being is NOT a McGuffin Being a mutant is NOT a McGuffin You have given me something to think about....

name me one fictional or mythological uber powered being that is not (in essence boiled down) McGuffin powered. If you manage to name one, consider how applicable that is to ten thousand 50s becoming more powerful, 100,000, er 1mill...

I do NOT see it that way, Take Lord Recluse. Tech, gadgets. Yes, the Well granted him great power. That he infused into more gadgets. Get Robotic Drones for Lore Pets. My new Ice/Dark Corr will take Polar Lights. Yes, the Incarnate Nuke is harder to explain. But we have 50 levels of odd temp powers we have been throwing around. They really should offer weapon fired solutions for a few of those, all of those however. Basically, in a nutshell, I saying you got no imagination. IMO

did you just necro answer something 3 years later?

I suppose it is like having a Jewish Obstetrician. Ignorance is bris.

I am your “dastardly brethren” Look, except for a few double exp weekends on Freedom server on Live Redside has never been busy. Even then, it was mostly just Mercy and Fort Darwin. I play most comfortably as a Rogue. That way I can team whenever I want. Make sure you are blueside before asking for team invite. I love the storylines of Red more than anything. Seriously. But teaming is what makes the most fun. TFs, Trials, and giant badge attempts are where it is at. And that is much more blue than red. So…. Be a true villain. Hide your evils (or dont) and wander the busy city streets blueside

Damn. I actually meant Venture Brod. Old vamp brain. Well, time to go out and look for fresh blood….

From “The Tick” is The Monarch. Quite a few villains in many iterations of Batman were MMs. Giving Batman plenty of goons to dance with. In fact so many villains of lower power dramas could be considered MMs. On the high end Lex Luthor and Kingpin. Both smart and powerful but preferring to work through flunkies. Why not?

there, fixed it for you

oh. it is appreciated. a lot

thank you for finally asking!

Is that a movie title?

I have an ele/temp that i made as a joke to outshine Sentinels. Great toon, fully ranged. Okay dps, but nothing outstanding for a Blaster. I have a beam rifle/temp that i use on incarnate leagues for dps. Also pure hover bkaster. Great ST, meh aoe my dark dark brute has fly in 100% time. everything is possible, some things work better than others

Something odd? Where?!?

This is beautiful writing. Amuse me with your turmoil.

uhhh.... was it Overlord Jones....?

I like to keep right at 2 bill, Last year I was making new 50s non stop and was getting broke. Then a friend, who never plays anymore, from Cosmic Council showed up. We had a vintage Cosmic Council team night. This one guy, he a WHALE, not as rich as Yomo, in that zip code. I jokingly asked for money. 2 bill to everyone on team. All old Cosmic vets. I have 75% of that, as I stopped making 50s. Now I just need to con Yomo into sending me 2 bill so I can start making endless new fiddies again...

they wont. i have a few 50s "decked out" for ouro 1-10, 1-15 etc. it is a painstacking process of figuring what powers are available at that level, cramming all enhancers down into those powers, then trying to get 6 slots of nerfed enhancers (the exemplar math) to be decent. i ran a posi 1-2 anf Cavern Transcendence last night on my new project. Brand new level 15 (level locked so my math doesnt change) runninh 90% damage on all attacks and also with all 3 temp buffs running from P2W. The real trick with posi 1? Bring a Dom. Save Dom for Shadow fight. Take a huuuuuge yellow before the fight. Hit Dom, and AoE Hold. done...
