Snarky

Having suffered through WoW during PandaLand (which was when CoH did flight into terrain) I am no fan. But I honestly have noticed no pattern to it. Granted I am playing more WoW again so not here as much. Still....when i was playing every day a lot (up to a month ago)...not the case. And for the real life question, I take you to an expert:

This. Again I have ( as have so many of you) played on HC for a long time. Yes, once in a while someone will say something rude. Even more rare someone will say something bigoted. Very Rare. Rarer than me getting a purple recipe by far. WE shut it down. Thank you

Sharks are bad. M’kay?

looks like a stalker...

I have only found Discord useful for hard content. Of course it can be fun to chat and run casual with friends. One guild I was with (now pretty much graveyard) used to run nightly content and weekly incarnate badge runs. Listening on Discord was required for hard stuff. For other uses, meh

Funny because the one memorable issue I had was on Everlasting, I was running a clueless Brute (hey, its me...) and the team leader got upset because I charged ahead and was loosely attached to the team. They actually followed my other characters like an angry bird for a couple days

Yeah. I was not there but I know Excelsior. It is welcoming and inclusive. Unless someone is ignorant and hateful. Then the crowd is vocal and unwelcoming, AND educated on how to get rid of pests

I do not think you need screenshots. Cant the devs see the history?

No. But there are a few in my cemetery/ disposal area

Just opened it on my phone

This has been, and always will be, a problem in any community. Years ago I played in WoW (after CoH intentionally flew itself into the terrain) and there was not just blatant racism but active pedos. Not kidding, people in open chat looking for minors. I reported so much of it. I have not experienced this on Excelsior, to any extent really. Maybe one or two political statements that were right off 4chan. But no racism, bigotry, or illegal sexual slime. Now, the last 4-5 weeks I have not been on much. Busy busy. Maybe the world rapidly evolved like the corpse I forgot to bury. Freaking petri dish that. Somehow I doubt it. Also, it is easy to be hyper sensitive to these issues. Or... mostly unaware. I am more unaware. Because I dont care. But if you are on the front lines of an issue any wrong word can seem like a "code word" or "targeted communication" when it might just be a blithely unaware person parroting something without thinking, or using a word the wrong way. Again, this is DIFFERENT than blatant bigotry and deviancy. I have a number of amusing anecdotes about such topics. Me completely unaware and ignorant hanging with various groups who are hyper aware and the miscommunications that can ensue. As long as nothing is INTENTIONALLY hurtful and everyone is open to be educated and treating each other with respect this is a GOOD thing. Broaden your horizons, elevate the discussion.

shouldn't have picked the user name DeezNutz

Yeah. 99.?? % of CoH badges were always character specific. With the exception of Vet badges and the Pocket D VIP badge. (i think that was a badge?) Annoying too... If I could clump them up I might get that 1500+ badge lol

If you look at my Dark Dark build I just bumped to top of Brute Threads there is an expensive but VERY effective character. it addresses End Magt, Accuracy, Tankiness, and does a great amount of damage. I tend to not run Bio, so no opinion But do realize FUN is the goal. Concept is everything. Nearly everything else is a red apple to green apple comparison. The skin color and flavor are different, so diff recipes (enemy groups) will seem different. But its a freaking apple. Play what your concept is.

I just find it more relaxing to build an unkillable murder ball that does nearly as much damage as a maxed dps build. To each their own

I would advise caution. Dark Dark can be unstable. My "refined" build above builds up the (necessary) energy consumption issues, resistance, recharge, and accuracy. Then it slathers on more tankiness with Rune of Protection. If you (in my opinion) start shattering invention set bonuses to add some cheez (a LOT of cheese, but still) you will find one or more of those NECESSARY elements to be gone. A Battleship will sink with a Hole in it. You are talking a LOT of cheese too....!

Yomo will give you 20mil...

so thats what Yomo looks like!

Super Strength without Rage Crash. There are a number of simple and some complex ways to balance out Super Strength to do same/similar damage. WITHOUT a crash that is a relic of a very long ago time in the game.

I have a base where I store a few enhancers (cough) But even if you have NO enhancers stored and you see a market spike like this.... 1) Find a cheap PvP enhancer on market (relatively, look around for the low end) 2) Buy that 3) Convert in type (PvP) until you get a Panacea 4) Convert in set until you get the one you want This strategy is how to NEVER pay top dollar for items.

There are entire threads directed at each of these subjects. They are deep. "Softcap" defense (in normal play) is 45% meaning 95% attacks (barring other effects) miss. Those two brackets I put in are both pagelong explanations. Use some Board Search Fu!

I have grown to despise my once loved SS due to rage crash. Mainly because there are only so many backstory ideas that have manic depressive episodes. Hulk, however, is THE poster boy

I know someone who has hundreds of billions in email at 999 million. He was chasing a few people like Yomo who have a ceazy amount I find anything in the neighborhood of 2 bill is infinite unless i alt madly for months and just build new 50s. Running a 50 earns a ton.

there is only one badge. the one you are trying to get right now. zen and the tao of ocd
