Snarky

Here is the sheet that I used. No warranty. Check your contacts and wiki before unlocking exp and heading to the next level range. But I think it is 99-100% correct. Since it was my base and not my "working" model any notes I made as I levelled are lost. contacts CoH CoV.xlsx

It is possible to do all three. All of Gold is available through Ouro. In fact you have to do all Gold for certain badges.

Yeah. Thats the general idea. Most of the time exp is turned off every 5 levels, 9, 14, 19, 24 etc. but in the lower ranges there are contacts that outlevel weird. 7, 8 etc. When the contact has more than one level range you need to track that as well. My spreadsheet has every contact blue and red and the level ranges. Separate sheets blue red. With Blue you do need to find which randomly rolled contact you got and compare that to the other 4? Contacts. Delete those or mark them completed. That is not for all blue content, just some of the storylines. But it goes on quite a few level ranges. Once you get later in the game Blueside you will start getting kill 20x in Peregrine. This will suck hard. There are a lot of them. Generally the mobs are only on certain areas and there are damn few. So you kill everyone in the area and get away so that they respawn. Hopefully as the group you need. Tedious

Starro…if you hadn’t destroyed the town they wouldn’t need to rebuild it

You will need to use HC wiki. There are a roulette wheel if contacts that are duplicative. They offer the exact same content but are randomly assigned to each toon. Only blue does this. i will post my spreadsheet of contacts later today. I am sick in my coffin and not moving much. Never feed on vegans

Jousting is the key. In and out if combat. I prefer fly, which also fits thematically. I understand some are really good at teleporting. The real key is knowing what your cone will hit before you fire it. That comes from a ton of practice and a prayer to the underworld your primary target doesnt blip 30 feet away and screw your AoE

I like cones. But it was a looooong time learning to like them starting with Shadow Maul Now my favorite Blasters have 4-6 cones. The Corruptor I am in has 4. Only one is a true damage cone. But the fear cone? Gold. Errrr Black Gold!

I want my numbers back. And get the hell off my lawn!

It is “hufu”

the fires are just SW of Fortified badge, in a straight line to tiki fan. but much closer to fortified

One of the mission arcs in Mercy you blow up a building. I am honestly not sure if this is the building. The friend that told me about it in December said you needed to have completed every Mercy arc for them to be there. I have not play tested it. Prob wont. Maybe I will lazily look next time I run that arc, if I remember

As someone pointed out upthread. I PUG a LOT. If I posted every PUG group experience, that would be Spam. Also as posted just a bit upthread I was in a respec trial with a PUG, and it went horrid. Did I quit? No. We finished it. It was a shit show. I vaguely remember it. Like 4 day old blood, not good. But it was ran at +0 and most folks were trying, if failing, to achieve the goals. Shit happens. We finished. I am not going to look back though all my old posts but I think most of the ones I quit were.....do to +level mis/non communication. You want a thread? Run with that.

Honestly not sure I follow you. You are saying the only way to truly be Snarky is to be insulting in team chat before quitting? I wasnt even trying to be Snarky. Not really called for. The Team leader admitted they did not advertise what they were running. They admitted they were running at +1. Good, good, goodbye. As the song goes, "Don't need to discuss much...just drop off the key Lee, and get yourself free." This is being beat to death. Which is funny in its own way. Now, to shock some of you I am not actually a vampire. I am a grumpy old truck driver in a busy metro area. This morning I was dropping off a 53 trailer in a crowded yard. This is a tight yard in an old part of town. There are well over a hundred trailers there and 15-20 docks. There are drivers moving triples, 53s, and three "yard dogs" ferrying trailers to spots and docks. Busy busy busy. I drove in. we waited for each other. we moved around each other. no traffic lights. no CBs. no lines on the ground. everyone knew to be patient and take turns. not a damn word spoken. we all were able to communicate and interact. Most of the time PUGs go the same way. Except when they do not. This one started off with (for me) a wakeup call this was not a yard I wanted to drive in. I left. Was I "Snarky?" Yea, I was Me!!! Was I mean? I hope not. One of the reasons I asked in team chat was so everyone on the team knew my thinking, if they cared to read. My toons name? Snarky. If I feel misled I will prob leave. Is that right/wrong? You decide. I joined an ADVERTISED +4 Reg ITF kill most afterward and had a grand time. Thats a yard I will jump right into.

Too true. These people seriously misjudge how much i game

Fastest (and this word is grudgingly used) way to get the big damage done to you badges A friend clued me in a couple months ago. I am a half hearted badger. I do few things with a full heart in truth. I have one character with all the damage taken badges. Another friend had two healers spam heals on me while i sat in the apex lava. Took 3 nights if I remember If you do the Mercy missions one of the buildings is on fire permanently. Step 1 join a AE arc then head to Mercy. Position at the fire and hit rest. Step 2 there is not much of a step 3. Wait forever I did this on a Brute and it went pretty fast like a week i think? My Corruptor does not have the health and so is only able to handle 1/3 the damage. (Depending on how many fires you interact with determines damage). So this one will prob take a month If you see a vampire kneeling in a fire on Mercy….

they're so adorable when they are trying to be formula tv show detectives. I honestly do not need any reason to start a post here. seriously. I have two threads going about spam. one was not enough. advertising something without stating it is altered does indeed imply it is unaltered. for instance if you bought coffee and discovered it had something in it, that you did not request, that would be unexpected. the implication, with no communication, is that it is black coffee. as has been joked about upthread there is no reason to believe someone will stay the entire task force. it is implied. we expect it in CoH. but no one asked me if i would. according to your logic the leader should have.

Excelsior does cater to reds. I winced when I saw the recommendation to post here. This is a nearly dead zone. I should know. The General discussion chat channel on Excelsior in game would be a good place to make some acquaintances though. in my opinion.

This reminds me of what an Art teacher told me about recognizing whether something is art or not. It is art if another human looks at it, comprehends something from it, and is moved in some way. At least that is how I remember the explanation. personally i was quite gratified to see all the people who felt so strongly one way or another about my posts. it is only when you get the reaction that you are making art!

I was rocking a 5% rotten tomatoes and going for 1%. Now what about my dreams?

Well I may be partly to blame for not doing an in depth interview of the person settings things up Thankfully I found an easy button solution! (You can just quit these things….👍)

Ironblade I enjoy your company but that would grind my gears lol

Nope. I am wrong a lot. But if people are too stupid and/or ignorant to understand I am okay with that too. I can solo or go team with other people. Like the team I joined afterwards, an advertised +4 ITF kill all. Fast and efficient

And as Dog Graves jokingly pointed out I never said I was staying for the entire run. The team assumed it. No one asked We all talk in short hand in the channels. Running X TF is short hand for X TF at +O. You do not have to like that. You do not have to understand that. That is the convention. I am not going to hand out a questionnaire everytime I join a PUG. Is it +0, +1, +2…. Are you recruiting 8 before we start? Are we speeding where we can? I join a PUG and roll with it. Unless it is not as advertised. Not listing the +1 is default to +0. Again, does not matter if anyone knows this. Game has been around a couple weeks. That is the nomenclature. So I did not sign up for a +mystery and I am not running a +mystery.

redsiders are more a solitary lot. there are some teams running on excelsior nearly every night right now. If you go through the tutorial (there a badge in a cell...) you break out of prison and are transported to Mercy. Where you learn the beginning lore from Kalinda and Burke. The two most honest NPCs you will see for a while. Redside has traditionally been lower pop. I tend to hop over to pocket D, visit Null the Gull, and Go Rogue. Then I can pop to Atlas Park for 4 DFBs (the buffs last until level 22) and later DiB (same buffs until 30) I also keep an eye on LFG for Posi. Synapse, the Redside Virgil Tarikoss etc. I just ran every below 50 Redside contact on my 2023 project. There were a few souls teamming Red but nothing compared to Blue. That is always been the way in CoH/CoV. Goldside is only solo unless you custom form a group in Discord with friends or search for a gold teens toon desperate to hit 20 and get out of that shithole.

I get the gist of what you folks are saying. It was just the way he responded when I asked about what was going on. "I never said it was speed."
