Snarky

yeah, dont go that. The new one has the new badges, missions, and at least one of the Devs is slowly but surely meticulously combing that database for errors and updating missing links.

I have tried Crab Spiders numerous times on live and once here. In my opinion, Crabs suffer the same "niche" issues Sentinels have. While not exact, they appear to be penalized damage dealers for having armor and penalized as defensive sets for having ranged attacks. They just suffer all around the wheel. I did have a Crab on HC and 50d them. Then the crab arm backpack started showing up when I rolled new alts. No way to get rid of. then it started showing up on OLD toons. Just appeared. I deleted the toon and have had no issues since. No bughunter badge either. Like a wet fart in a crowded elevator on a hot NY day.

Doing anything political is the worst attention you could draw to Homecoming in my opinion The country is in a deep political divide. There was violence in the last Presidential election. Any political reference will be taken by some people as a reason to attack. Definitely not something Homecoming needs or wants

If you "did all content" Hero side, tip of the mask wag of the cape! I find it easy to do Redside and horrid to do Blue. It sounds like you do not 'like' villany. Because if you got through Blue. Sheesh! You musta loved that. You might try running a bunch of TFs as a break. It is an ENTIRELY different experience than soloing. You have to adapt to various teams, use powers differently, and play a different way.

usually less

Now, here is a little trick I use a LOT. That Numina you want? 5-6 million huh? Bet there is a healingI/O you can buy cheaper? in the two million range... Make sure the level ranges overlap. Buy the unwanted heal I/O. Convert (use drop down menu, Healing) Convert until you get a numina. Then convert in set to the one you want. The cash you spend on converters (and I get converters with reward merits) will be much less than the 4 mill difference.

having issues?

Yes. This was one of the things that put me off trying control classes when I first started. Teams did not want you confusing things. Or using Grav Dom “time outs” or even “relocations”. You needed to be very careful of what control powers you used and how or the flames started. So i just ran Brutes and ignored people. Now people just yoink whole spawns out of tar patch and AoEs and no one says a word. If you say “hey, you just ruined my setup” then if anything is said back it is something like “just grouping them up”….. So I am back to running Brutes…

i'm confused

THIS. There are some VERY smart NPCs that follow. But most, even in "newer" content? Dumb as a drunk after an all night bender. Why? There is only one answer. The Devs wanted to make players lives suck.

I know a true "whale" who hardly plays anymore. Last time he was on he gave me 2 bill. I am set for....ever? a year? hard to say. depends on how many crazy alts I make and store.

I have noticed a serious and steady DECLINE im market prices over the last two years. not dropping off a cliff but a serious softening. LOTG, Perf Shifter, the staples.

Even if there were resources to just stand up a server….. the amount of coding on this looks pretty daunting

guess you've kept that strapped down

people seem a little confused it is true

i'm building my own rig

A geek is a circus freak that bites heads off chickens right? Maybe a Renfield woyld do that. Not me. A Nerd.... Hmmm. I do not think I am smart enough for that. That leaves.... Hey, who came up with these options? C'mere, I want to talk to you. Right inside this crypt. private like.

If you want to be rich (in this or almost any game) there is a very simple system. 1) find a character you like 2) play that character you will find there is tons of treasure just being dropped on you.

i have never been proc builder. my farmer is a build someone gave me. i dont say i understand it.

about 6? months ago that made a significant change to procs. removing some unintended effects and attempting to smooth them. This coincided with a change in AE and (significantly) a change in agro mechanics. subtle unless you are a farmer or a serious tank, then huge.

Not that I want to test it, but a well designed "ablative" shield designed to capture the weapon should work very well against bronze, iron, or steel weapons. There is just not going to be significantly more power regardless of the material until you get to epic weapons like a zweihander or O-dachi. Those "might" have the physical ability through a combination of weight and edge to break past getting stuck and cleave the shield completely.

I was trying to find an image for this but everything just kept being political! Best I could do...

Did someone say Thunderfury, blessed blade of the Winseeker...?

I love Red, but Red is dead baby. Except for Freedumb in it's heyday there is not much Red. Even there it was normally just Mercy popping. Try to form a DFB Blue, run one, see how many you can do in an hour. Now try it Red... uh huh. And GOLD? You tried to team GOLD? In the end was it just you and Wilson?

No, that place is a shithole. looking for a shining planet known as dirt
