Snarky

always willing to throw in my 2 cents. Even when I am short a penny... Barbi Que or any derivation is a play on Barbeque Bar-B-Q etc and not derived from Barbie. In theory. Not a judge, but that is an easy argument to present, if not decide upon.

I just learned that it was evidently a really hard film to shoot. Due to the ensemble cast and the writing and directing it was a doozy. So the line towards the end about "not bickering" is poignant.

When I win the billion dollar lottery and hire the Devs (and a small army of code monkeys) to rebuild CoH it will be with all the old lore and missions. Some new stuff. But the blueside rescue 17 only to have it turn into a kill all. Suffer. It is staying. The hunts in PI for carnies when you have to wait for the respawns. staying. and all the other craziness. Now...there might be some new tricks for learned players to get around those old obstacles. But some you just gotta power through. Because it is a crazy world, and CoH has always reflected that back at us pretty clearly.

if it was anyone but you Yomo i would assume that you were joking. since it is you....remember an old vampire when you are rich.

supposedly that is a recoilless rifle. i.... i would not want to be the infantryman that tested that advertisement.

more like...Mystery Men!

are we creating digi infi now?

yeah, i'm too lazy to report generally. plus, just because someone says something on the forum....

you want money go see yomo. this graveyard is closed!

i dont think there is a "good" variation or a "bad" one. its like hot dogs, you just gotta take it for what it is lol

it is because it is all ego and no cash that people are scrupulously honest. For instance, I get called out every week or so to talk about Dark Armor when people ask questions. People know I know it and will (grumpily) explain my take on it. People (those that been around) have a pretty good idea I do not do PvP and am not a speed runner. So.... If I start bragging and posting I did the Kessel run in 2 parsecs.... Not gonna pass the smell test. Meanwhile people that have been running scrappers for almost 2 decades know exactly who they are and relatively what can be done, and by who. The point behind the following two items. We know Hafthor is in the same strength range as Eddie. But Eddie beat him at a World Strongest Man. Hafthor is pissed. Hafthor "should" have lifted in a regulated competition. Everyone knows that for a world record. Hell, at least have Guinness book on hand. But he just does it at his home gym. Maybe he did it. Hell, he probably? did? But that is not the way it is done. Eddie lifted in a verified event in front of a crowd with judges and verified weights. (judges are important for lockout...) This is especially important since Hafthor has tried and missed 501 in competition... Eddie Hall, 500 Kilo deadlift in competetion: Hafthor Bjornsson 501 Kilo deadlift, not in competion, plates verified by his DAD!!!!

In open world I think you would find too much motivation to cheat. Example: hidden friend on a Corr Debuffing the crap out of GM. that is just off the top of my head. Sure there are a ton more.

your experience in the Yin mirrors everyone elses. the OP has been emphatic it happened multiple times and there were no endurance issues. I suspect a glitch. with no comp knowledge at all i randomly guess a server client communication error.

needs a bumper sticker that says "overcompensating..."

I have this same issue with most of WoW dungeons. I am a completionist. Real OCD type. But I only showed up in WoW during Panda after CoH flew itself into the ground instead of landing normally. I would gladly take a toon and do each zone (everything) in order including dungeons. But you cannot. It is verbotten. And there is no practical way to do the dungeons in order with any pick up group. Tangent. But this illustrates the problem. In these two games, and I am sure others, Devs want to wrap up story lines and move stories forward. But...if they make it slow paced enough that a slow learner like me can take it in then everyone says it is boring, unchallenging, and sucks. So.... They make a beast of a TF/SF/Dungeon?Group thang. Then throw in every easter egg they want as if it was a gentle walk through a flower garden. Because they want both, and they have no third option.

Have fun! Run correctly it is one of the most powerful armor srets in the game. (in my opinion) DO make sure your build includes some +to Hit and +accuracy. +to hit is way better. The Stun aura has a crap base accuracy and you want it cleaning minions off.

75mm recoilless rifle it a a jagdvespa!

Played a tabletop vampire game where one seriously crazy vampire with an explosive fetish (malkavian) rode a pogo stick with a backpack chock full of various bombs…some homemade

Kleines kettenkraftrad (small tracked motorcycle). Just a machine gun on the back though. Could pull a hill so steep no human could stay on. Used as small tractors after the war

That is a Vespa TAP 150 with a 75mm recoilless rifle. AR Blasters eat your hearts out

When I think of "speed runs" I think of the Cosmic Council players and people like them. They had a few records for speed runs on verified sites. I am not a speed runner. I dont even know who tracks that. Cosmic would do regular events where they would This vs That (Doms vs Scrappers etc) Speed Run the ITF. This was always 15 minute or less and sometime around 10. I vaguely recall a few sub 10. Someone kept a spreadsheet and it was convoluted but always sppppppeeeeed. Most "speed" TF are actually not. Speed. They are "Fast" I like Fast TFs, especially when I am on a "get every TF badge as I level" OCD run. Although I got on a TF Junky Synapse that came in a hair over 30 mins. Which they laughed and said was Fast not Speed. Could have fooled me! Doing low level TFs there is (for me) no logic in doing them anything but as fast as possible. Increasing difficulty for more exp or killing most or some various combo of the two is almost always slower than just grab another TF, levelling wise. I DO love a kill most ITF, especially when opening incarnate powers. Thats the trick right there. Most TFs, and ALL TF below 50. Speed. Errr, Fast!

I do it in that order because 1) that is the order they come in at and I am boring 2) you can stack Cloak of Fear with Touch of Fear Use ALL toggles. Yes, all of them. Dark uses AoE stun and AoE fear to mezze the nobodies. This gets rid of a ton if annoying incoming attacks. If you do not take both those toggles do yourself a favor and quit reading. Dark Dark uses to hit debuffs to also reduce incoming attacks. Dark has non suppressed stealth. When they cant see you eating their friend twenty feet away you can call that defense. So Defense strategy set Now, your big bads ignore most of that. Soooo… some of the best resists in the game. Do not neglect energy resistance. It can be built into a nice neighborhood. I have Tanked Rom on a Master Run because i have energy resistance BEST heal in the game. Available every few seconds. Top of my head i think mine sits at 8 sec recharge. From .0001 health to 100%. Dark Melee provides very good ST damage. Bolstered by Dark armor damage aura there is decent AoE as well. since a Dark Dark Brute is rarely killed you will win any and all DPS races. the most spectacular tacoing of my Dark Brute i recall was a shadow shard TF. A teammate got stuck in a crossroads in a cave map with tons of big spawns all around. My overconfident butt went in. Those F-ing eyeballs ignore steath. So part of my “defense” was gone. Then…..oof. Rikti, some Nemi and a very few Longbow Wardens do the same. You need to learn the groups and know the odds. Only bet on winning hands.

Yomo is giving away 100 million to anyone that asks. His thread is now up at the top in General discussion
