Snarky

me too. I walk on eggshells. wait. have you read my posts? what do you consider "walking on eggshells?" Not being able to make Superman clones and/or have Xrated chat in game or on the forums? Because I suppose some would consider that "eggshells..."

Redside. Make a villain. Dont just roll a toon. Get a concept. Inspired by some Villain or Rogue. Or your own wildness. Or if a superhero was dark in a different world. Write a paragraph about what makes them tick. Break out if the Zig. Or not. Play the Arachnos game. Or get with Burke and learn how to be independent. Redside is incredible in the nuances if you pay attention. By the time you hit Cap there are huge plots. It gets wilder from there. But only if you care about plot and story. If you just “run missions” and do not read what it is about… it is slightly better than Blue. But the stories…wow….it gets deeeeeeep redside

I have the obligatory storage base. 95%+ of all my toons are in it, and no one else. It is on the biggest footprint and it is howling empty. Except for storage, telepads, and random large sculptures to fill space. Cosmic Council has a few great bases. Its main base is very detailed. But of particular interest to me is the Cosmic Council Revenant Base. Top notch work. I have seen a number of high quality bases, generally during festivities around holidays when people are doing events. There is a lot of real talent in the player base indeed.

Not trying to be Snarky (I do not have to try...) But exactly what do you mean by authenticity? Number of Players. Adherence to original game code? I disagree vehemently with about half of what the Dev staff does here. The other half I like. I wish they did more. They wish they got paid. Homecoming offers me the chance to run CoH, my favorite game, team up when I want. Badge the hardest badges with a team when I want. Is it exact issue 5? 13? 20? Are there as many players as Freedumb had at peak? For me authentic is flavor. The blood I had tonight is not the same as the blood I had 20 years ago. Do I remember it that well? Maybe. But at least I have real blood and am not looking at a drained plastic container lying in a melting igloo cooler. What is your authentic? (Was I Snarky? I can never tell anymore...)

once you learn the game and find a blast set you like on a Sentinel the transition to Blaster is much easier. For instance i have a Beam/Temporal Blaster that is my go to toon for helping on incarnate badge runs. just fly around the edge of the fight giving supporting fire.

…. You have said a lot and almost nothing you have done the arcs a lot….red? Blue? Gold? i find attempting old content on new ATs and powersets can be quite the change. Normally play X? Take not Y, but oddball Z! With that powerset you always wondered about!

A Willpower Sentinel is easy to build and easy to run. Pair it with a Power set that is Fully Ranged and F-ing play lazy as heck. Now my opinion: Sentinels SUCK at 50. But I ran a Beam Rifle Willpower Sentinel to 50 and laughed my butt off the whole time...

it doesnt matter cause hes still dead

i ran a lot of ss/will brutes on live. good combo never really bothered by sappers etc. i ran it for a year or two....

This last perf shifter still has not sold. Sales prices at 755k, 2mil, 2,5mil, 2.5mil, 4mil. Now, again, I sold 150? of these for 3.7mil+ a month ago. Now they are not worth converting to.

Thank you! I never thought about that.

I do not have much room for pools. I am taking all the Dark Blast except T1. The plan was to take all Dark Miasma except the ST Hold and Black Hole. I want (and will take) all 5 Dark epic. That squeezes it down to 4 picks left. Flight, my preferred travel. Hasten. Two left. The plan was leadership. The more I look the less I like. This Corruptor suffers from End issues. The payoff is weak Now I have Black Hole as I am running 30-34 content. I actually like it! I also notice the pet randomly places a Hold on peeps. Maybe I should take that ST hold…

IT IS NOT A TUBER

I need you to run around and light everything on fire and knock everything over and blast anyone that gets in your way until you restore order. Chaos is bad m’kay

ps, make your own damn thread. this is about one subject, intangible powers. not your unspicy social life

Well, I lost you at the pretzel when you crossed it Had your mustard, baby, but I lost it I know your love was just a fry pan No, you can't pull the wool over me, 'cause I'm the condiment man I can talk old ladies out of their sugarfree I can talk young girls out of their honey You can talk all you want, babe, but I am way past bland, uh-huh You're a real soft touch, but I'm the condiment man I know your mother taught you how to bake a cherry pie yeah you can cook Your daddy taught you about hot sauces And not get shook Let me tell you something, baby, you better learn If you're gonna spice the spice man, you're liable to get burned Now, now, now, we were stretched out on the grill, baby, it's all fantastic But you put on too little and it tastes about like plastic And the food went flying across the counter No discouraging word could be heard, 'cause I'm the condiment man Now, maybe Chicago is where you're bound But grease is a cheap perfume, it hangs around And you roll the buns, now get to the food stand No, you can't pull the wool over me, 'cause I'm the condiment man No, you can't pull the wool over me, 'cause I'm a condiment man Said, you can't pull the wool over me, 'cause I'm a condiment man

Now (in my head) I hear the song "Condiment Man" Weird Al style set to Jeff Healey's "Confidence Man..."

My purpose in slow leveling this Dark Dark Corruptor (now at 34, running constant since Dec 27, all Redside content 1-29 done, all TF SF done through low 30s) was to learn how to use each power. I just added the pet and Black Hole as I moved from 29 to 34. Now I am really starting to get Black Hole, even though I have only used it for a day. This is because I have a good understanding of all of Dark Miasma tricks. How they work. What they can do. What they do best. What they CANNOT do. When you get to CANNOT it may be time to pull out a can of Black Hole. And it is the only tool like it in Dark Dark. And it serves that one purpose, and it does it pretty well. I appreciate all the feedback. I am still experimenting with it. Overall I am happy with this strange tool in the toolkit. I like running the Corruptor because it is not the Blaster. I have tools, I have leverage, I have traps, I have tricks. I got a Black Hole!!! I have the P2W personal phase shift. Someone posted you cannot interact with Black Hole enemies while phase shifted. Gotta test.

I always gravitated to CoH to make the supers…hero, villain, alien, monster, robot. The fact that the characters on CoH are super….. yeah, I am okay with that. When I want a challenge we can do Really Hard Way Magisterium

got on a very chaotic katie and she was fighting everyone on last map. nothing helped a ton (needed blackstar on rapid fire lol) but Black Hole gave me some options when red caps were way too many...

I been using it for an hour solo. It makes ghosting missions easier, due to the glowies near mobs scenario. It is a to hit check, so it misses some mobs. Convenient if awkward way to take a 'partial' spawn down....roll the dice on how many. Just picked up my T9 Dark Servant and accidentally confused that button with Black Hole as I was prepping to fight BAB as a EB. Pissed him off but he went intangible and I finished summoning, eating insp, tar patch. BAB took the Dark Servant down in one swing. Oh well lol.

Yeah. I thought about that. Unfortunately most of these are available later in the game and the city hall posi fight is max 15. But I will take it and start using it solo to get the “feel” and then use it sporadically on teams. Another use I thought is when you are teaming but split. Then a ton of agro “happens”. You can intangible their butts and get out of there. I will test to see results

I have some ideas where these powers are useful. Obviously if you want to spam it you should delete the character and possibly your account. For me I am soloing a lot on this character. To grab a glowie at the end if a mission this is a great cheat. Also, solo when overwhelmed…. Intangible a bunch. Then deal with stragglers, heal, use inspirations watch the timer, drop Tar Patch and back into the chaos. Are these powers ever situationally useful on teams leagues or incarnate trials? We never used them in Cosmic runs but I am curious Obviously if a team is about to implode due to pressure it is a hail mary. Not sure I can think of any other good use I will be taking it on my solo Corruptor. I may have to make a separate build for teams with Leadership toggles instead. Dark Dark Corruptors burn end like crazy and I am not going into toggles I have decided. Maybe for teams and incarnate where I will get random buffs but not for my main build. Even with Dark epics End Recovery power it is just too wild a blue bar ride for me. So, good bad or ugly expect to see a crazy little Vampire out there once in a while laughing like a maniac as I try to make this thing useful…

I agree with everything you said! Now, pardon me. I am filing my pitchfork. We are planning another run at the castle because they nerfed Brutes and buffed Tanks.

Cones are arcs of effect aimed away from the character. Why we need an anchor? I am relatively good with cones. Shifting targets still get me on a somewhat predictable regularity. Why I need a target. I face a direction....shoot a cone. THIS IS NOT THAT COMPLICATED!
