Snarky

It is easy to be seduced by something in MiDs only to play it in game and think WTF? and vice versa. Some things that like trash in MiDs actually play great. It can be a fun house mirror. I was just thinking as I look at ways to rebuild the Dark Dark Corr I should see if Res or +Health are options I could lean into. My Dark Dark Brute lives by the motto "if you cannot kill me with your best shot i will be at full health for your second." Dark Dark Corr has two very powerful heals, so if not faceplanted likewise can be at full health very quickly.

Yes. And, by definition you are ralking every AV in the game. Some of them… oof. It is a rock paper scissors game. At a certain point you will rnd up in the tough end of that triangle. And….. just for fun, some TF/SF have multiple AVs. At least two trials have complex mechanics teams struggle to accomplish. Although these may scale down for solo, the AV issue looms huge.

This. We should do this. I get why they are there. Just finished a X TF after Y minutes and need to go to the B room. Drop ouro, zone and get out of the game rig. And your toon…standing at the ouro entrance. As you Zone in have a temp power KB to self 45 mag. 1 min delay, cancels when you move 20 feet. Otherwise…have a nice flight, we will see you in the pool. Bonus points for having them land with random innertube….

You are giving me ideas. I am rebuilding my Dark Dark Corr as one of my mains. Maybe I should lean into res and +heath… He has two huge heals….

Hmmm. Solo…. To solo the game on standard settings +1/x1 with Default Bosses solo but no AV solo you can take just about anything. And take what you enjoy. If you are comfortable I would recommend something with AoE. There is a lot of kill-alls in the game. Then you casually drop “solo AVs”. Okay, now that is an entirely different topic. If you believe what I said above then really throw out the “do everything in the game” (because anything can) and retitle “what can solo AVs”. Because I am not sure everything can. Maybe this is just me but I am thinking you have more really big things you want the toon to be able to do buried in “as much of the content as possible” that maybe you should specifically let us know what you want this thing to do….

I did the crab thing. 50d it and (to me) it looks ill suited for CoH content. Maybe in a team of Crabs it would be different, but it is very structured to be mediocrity in a hard shell. Probably politically incorrect of me but I think of widows as female. They are all female in the game. I never run female toons. So, this week I bow out of the challenge. Good luck to all the new widows!

I can only guess. The two roadblocks that would be easy to see are 1) time/organization commitment to do it 2) significant negative blowback from the last run at it.

heh. i plan to announce it way before the last mission, like after first, then again on the next to last mission, then as we enter, with a goal of 50-75% following me... wish me luck

Yeah. Let us talk Regen…

Most of us set the timer so everyone knows how we are flowing. Half the gamers are OCD and the other half are WTF

Dark. Dark melee pairs exceptionally well with Fire armor

It would not differ. My whole point, which I evidently was not good at communicating, was that it would be farmed like everything else.

I thought if the attached to target unalived it dropped to the ground and was still available for party time 💥

NO. Because it would immediately start the “gaming” of parameters and creation of a new type of farm. That is not even debatable. I mean, you can debate it. Or you can look at every single bit of electronic gaming ever done. It WILL be farmed. I would like to see exceptional AE writers given leeway to write longer arcs that are available through regular contacts outside AE. But no special rewards. Standard missions, a story arc, the standard merit reward at the end. More or less the same as all the old contacts. Except newer, fresher, and perhaps with more depth and ties to lore.

Lol, since i have yet to implement my proposed strategy of cleaning you cannot be talking about me. Also, i play with a giant wall mounted TV as a monitor. Above my desk. So I always have a map open and tend to have situational awareness. Common sense, maybe not. But I am watching where my teammates are.

you went resist heavy. i softcapped ranged defense, because... Corruptor (Ice Blast - Dark Miasma) 2024 v2.01.mbd

so... grab some insp, to tank her. purples/oranges. then grab a few blasters to sweet talk her....

by request in game Tank Invul SS Hyperstrike MO Durable.mbd

One does not simply start a Penelope Yin Task Force….

This is why all my toons use fly…

The issue Brutes will always have (in my opinion) in these one on one fights is they are just outclassed. Brutes have very good armor and very good damage. They leverage this to win every fight, most easily. This EB has better armor and better damage. so. I would suggest loading up your email with large purple orange and red inspirations. Then your trays. You have to be better again. When your inspiration run out refill from email. Use the envenomed dagger. Heck, use the p2w buff pet. She will kill it, that is one attack not aimed at you

The AR devices Blaster is quite the oddball. I have loved it forever. Glad that HC has been working on the sets. Great job. AR, u like most sets, has no Aim power. But that is fixed by Devices. But Devices has no Buildup. Well, not like other Blaster secondary do anyways. The Targeting Drone in Devices has an oddball buildup that I am finding out few people know about. Basically, if you are not “in combat”. Attacking, attacked, clicking a glowie (the same stuff that breaks stealth) you get an orange circle around targeting drone power button. This lets you know you are at +dam and ready for a “First Strike”. Great for Snipe or the ranged Tier 9 Full Auto. Can also be used with BFG…errr LRM

This was an exceptionally fun outing with a quality group. Unfortunately that means I do not have any Posi 1 horror stories. The group uses Discord and breaks into as many groups needed based on who shows up. Great players and fast moving.

HOTFIX -- No Restart Powers Fixed an issue where players afflicted with the Mutation: Devolution effect from the Secondary Mutation power could get stuck as a monkey for 33 minutes and 20 seconds if they crossed to a different zone before the effect wore off.
