He may play on Homecoming. Certainly, any knowledge of US is not going to change the question ROFLMAO

One thing stands out about old Redside live. You join a PUG and load into a mission. If you can handle the first group you will be okay. Some tricky areas of the map you may need strategy to pull and the last fight will include a boss/EB/AV. But if you could handle the first group you would prob be okay. If your team is struggling on that first fight just bail. Villains gotta be careful. The modern game is just more lopsided. Either we steamroll everything or you get an hour into a 2-4 star and just get stuck.

Things I will run anytime they are advertised is the gold standard. In no particular order: ITF Virgil Tarikoss Market Crash TinPex Silver, they are good. But I need to be in the mood: LGTF, LRSF, Ms Lib, Speed Aeon, any Inc Trial Bronze; I will jump on one if the server seems light in jumping on and I am bored; Barracuda or Khan, Yin, Katie or Moonpiefire Toilet bowl ring; Synapse, any Shadow Shard.

no enhancers at all. lets just get pure AT and teamwork

I know nothing about the coding. So, as usual, I speak out of ignorance. But with large base parts you can walk around inside them. (once you figure how) and scaling is easy in the game, more or less. It seems all parts are hollow, just a thin sheen of art viewable from one side. So, the code must be creating a full 3D rotatable "object" (bunch of faces) and that is the base / costume part. You can see this in clipping etc.

I do not Tank. I ran a Brute for years. Redside. Brutes job (Redside) was to take the Alpha then have fun. If you wanted anything else go back to Fing blue. Now I have created many Tanks. Meh. But this Winter season I slow levelled a Ice/Ice Tank for theme. Never ran those sets before. Mein Gott! This is TANKING. Just wander into a room, taunt those farthest away and lazily activate powers. When most are cleared wander to the next big spawn. The dregs will follow you. Every enemy hates Ice. It's like Mind Control. They HAVE to be near you. NEED to be near you. LOVE to be near you. It is taking the Alpha Beta Gamma Delta and looking for more greek letters. Ice Ice Baby. When you want all the agro.

Have you tried not using it?

like explosive diarrhea in a slaughterhouse

i have heard of this tradition. i started redside and not the same as that lol

Yes, having no endurance really slowed the game and gave a stumbling block to the players. Now that I think about it if the Devs had simply removed inherent fitness they would never even have had to make starred ITF and Aeons. Saves so much work.

Well, as a Redsider it is called PLAYING IN CHARACTER

they have made theings more difficult. In the starred Aeon and ITF. But those tactics (real old school, props) dont work a ton in the new content. The writers accounted for our standard closed shield formation and F-ed with us quite a bit. Sometimes it works well....othertimes....anything but lolzerg

Yes and no. Leapfrog Brute/Tank ROFLSTOMP teams got a huge boost when Redside came out. Brutes NEEDED (no longer sigh) to grab agro to do damage. Two Brutes on a team would (when played well) take turns cannonballing into the next big group. Thats the Yes. As agro mgt team the Tanks/Brutes need to not abandon an area until it is effectively done. That does not mean mopping the floors but it does mean watching the enemies/teammates/map and making tactical decisions on where to be, when to stay or go. That can be the No

yeah like in console game where you can never get too far from your fellow players..... or cannot leave an area until everyone is dead... or some other horrid mechanic....?

Why is any city destroyed? Story. Drama. Pompeii. Without the destruction you would know is about as well as you know the city of Plovdev. If you want a dramatic story. You gotta break a few eggs.

lol. i TANK into fresh spawns on my Corruptor. And with Scourge? Half dead enemies are taking Blaster+ damage....

Pound things and laugh

Okay i will play ☠️ rng 100 on phone. First roll a 2….Blaster Second roll a Lucky 13…..AR. I am interested but kind of terrified of next roll. I get locked into ideas lol Third Roll….78. Plant Manipulation…. another character dies in a cell in The Zig. Fing Longbow

This looks an awful lot like that crazy Slot Machine in St Martial….

Love it. But no airport. Who in their right mind will fly in and out of the madhouse of Paragon? We teleport into the air and shoot at each other and blow sky vehicles out of the air for badges. Great thought….but what airline? Even Allegiant and Spirit would avoid the place…probably

but here is the "tell" you are sprinting away from. you are against the way people build toons. when you are a good builder you can take an intricate knowledge and squueze more performance. you want to do away with that. Like, just take every NASCAR vehicle and give them the same motor. Not simplifying. Actually making it more complicated. RIGHT?

you are also arguing that this is not a call to simplify Mez rules.

nice that you are revising your Toggle ideas. But your original idea (quoted here in case you forgot) was a simplification of the powerset

never said it would defeat anything. it would. (oh gawd here we go again) simplify it. Lets not get all complicated in this back and forth. You are stating your changes to Toggles would not simplify them. I am saying you are incorrect. That is the whole Zimtschnecken. Number of other factors. These mostly deal with character building. Very complicated, you might not be interested. But the number of powers you have of a certain type many times defines the build due to the enhancers you can slap on. As you streamline you are going to kill some builds without a second thought to the work the players have put in. I could go on. You will no doubt ask me to go on. Look. Again. You have stated multiple times you are not for simplifying toggles and a few other areas of the game. Yet you are obviously advocating doing so. This was fun last night. Now you are starting to be like that 10 pd Yorkie that wants to bite ankles. Step off.
