Snarky

It is polite to mention if you altering the difficulty when advertising a TF. When i join a PUG TF that is advertised as a Manticore, or Synapse, or Posi I do assume it is +0. I will run that. If it starts and then I am given the data it is +1 or + 4 that is a bit of poor communication In my opinion. But no worries. I get the chance to share some information, what might seem a surprise as well. In that we have a dialogue, an interesting interaction, a discussion. I quit. It is in this give and take of information that we all grow.

well Manticore is not a "speed" TF. As i stated, there are a lot of kill alls with Paragon Protectors. Whatever the team is gaining in experience for +w/e it is losing in kill time and mogs. in my opinion. you want rewards? run a +4 kill all itf like i did after i quit this hostage situation.

and that is fair. because you communicate. i joined a +4 itf kill all after. finished the 2nd half of my lore/destiny and nearly opened hybrid. great team

So on my new 50 i still need some Task Force badges. Because in the end this new toon is a badger. One of the ones I need is a Manticore. So, I see a PUG ad. I join. I notice 37s everywhere. Now, I like experience, everyone does. But Paragon Protectors are a lot easier to cut through the closer they are to your level. or they MOG. We are five mobs in when I confirm the pattern. I send a question in team "Are we running at +1" Leader "Yeah" Me "Was that in the ad?" Leader "Never said it was speed" Now see. To me there are various conversations that could have happened here. But that particular response can (to me) be boiled down to "My team, my rules, I own you for the rest of this task force."

want me to whip some up for you?

It depends on my AT, sometimes powersets. I usually bulletproof my Brute builds. My Invul are straight up Hyperstrike monsters. The rest are inspired by that type of design. My Blasters tend to be high defense high Damage. The Corruptor I have made this years project is quite different. End is a bear on Dark Dark Corr. I solved that by really shoring up Rec and trying to find sets that gave even a little help. I did not worry about defense, in hard content I either play smart and depend on team or die. I built for damage and debuff. As much as i could including incarnate choices

There has been spam?

I did a respec to get into enhancers. But i am keeping all Dark Dark Dark powers except the T1 blast. That leaves room for fly and hasten. I did keep the ST hold and Black Hole even. Niche uses but I like the versatility. I will tweak my build a bit then post. I am also planning a Dark Dark Dark Corruptor guide templated off the Sentinel power set guides. Great work over there. My opinions will prob not be as on point or deep but I will throw them out there anyways. Because….me!

I 50d this thing on Sunday. I have completed all redside content that cannot be done at 50. I play it way different than Blasters now Monday i saw a PUG oldschool LRSF for the badge. I joined good group. Out one Blaster quit in the first 5 minutes. Fing Blaster We struggled on. Did well. Damage was a bit low. The last fight started out a shit show. I found my range finally. Just inside Blackstar and thats as close as I get to that madness. Again, been solo and not used to that much heat. It was hot. We coordinated (no discord just team chat) and did get the job done. Fing Blaster MSR Tuesday night and almost have Lore and Destiny opened. I have a Dark Dark 59d and incarcerated but this is my 2023 badge project. I will respec the other and move them to Everlasting for the rNdom times I will be there

Theyrrrrre baaaaaaacck

I needed this phone number to gmail though. I been trying to reach them for twenty four years about fake blood offers in my email. I send them letters. No response!

As in me posting it or me finding it?

and now they are posting how to contact gmail by phone. in the 805 Santa Barbara area code.

Longbow Ballistas can be some of the toughest opponents in the game. They all look very similar, yet they pull heavy powers from various pools. When one has a power your toon has a difficulty with you have to deal with it. And there is no “tell” like it being the type of mob that you know to do X Y And Z with. Its just BOOM in your face deal with it. Surprise! Oh, and the unusual mob using it on you is very difficult to put down and surrounded by their LB friends…

I convert. Of course i use merits to get converters…

This option is only available through dial up. Still works. A slot machine in St Martial showed me how…..

The Arachnos Air Hostess will put you in your seat and send you to your destination. You will have no complaints. (That you're willing to say out loud)

maddening isn't it....

THis actually 100% true. The sick thing is it will start to feed itself at volume. Because you sell everything in the packs...to get more Inf to buy packs. Leaving you the merits and odds and ends that cannot be sold. I do not enjoy marketing nor profiteering at volume off fellow gamers. I sell what drops. Keeps me rich. Then I game.

I suppose AR Devices. I have played it. But never for long. Never done what I always thought I should with it….solo Redside. I heard back on live about the strategies of building traps and forts and just screwing with mobs through pulls into death traps. Someday I will get around to it I suppose

Recluse has a secret weakness to furries. Go talk to him about it

The fastest way i would think is through Ouro. You never have “extra missions” just the ones needed for the arc and the merits.

i just solod redside all arcs that can only be completed under 44 and a few task forces 1900 merits

Yomo goes Meta....

And i keep seeing suggestions about AR Energy but AR Devices is to me the Sniper setup. Prob gonna do a Story Arc run with one. Just did a redside run on a Corr so a little burnt now though lol
