Snarky

Weird glitch, but now tempted to keep posting Pika…

Pika Pika?

Pika Pika?

I heartily disagree with about half this and I have spent years on SS Everyone runs and builds different. Find your best version

i do not actually have a ton of inf in CoH. do not need it. liquid a couple billion and a base chock full of i/o i make a decent amount on crafting converting. there has been a significant change in AH in last 6 months. it started with uncommon salvage. like someone weirdly cornered the market. now i see it in the few regular money making i/o it consists of this phenomenon try to buy one of these "pretty good" I/Os at 3 million. No luck. Try to sell one at 4 million. no luck. Bids show they are selling for 2 million. but you can never buy one at that price. There is still a little profit in the same old I/os but the profit is lower. and the games are written all over the bid history. Someone (and I suspect a SG or Cartel...has discovered how to mass farm the market and they are putting the F to U (and me) I may just quit the AH/Inf system and self support through merits. I have no time in my life to be screwed by people who WANT to be used car salesmen so desperately they train in old CoH To be clear I think the AH system has been brute force hacked somehow, with some leverage placed on it or a kink in the code someone has discovered in timing of bids, etc

tank is good, but benefits less from recent tanker changes in that SS was the one least improved for tanks. footstomp was judged too good already. SS you are going to be using footstomp and knockout blow at high level, a lot brute will do more damage

energy is meh. if you want to excel (and the crash does not irritate) go SS. if you want to teleport AoE electric energy is not horrid, since changes recently. just not....wow

they tend to be energy straight up i think if you are a purist

to try to make a very complicated thing simple.... the orinal devs took a simple thing. contact that gives content. then made it complicated. that "content" was randomly assigned to 3-5 different contact names. you randomly get one. then they did that about 30 more times. so trying to do "all content" you have to cross check a couple hundred ghost contacts

I am sorry to hear about your health issues. I desperately want to say something like “ have you tried not smoking…”. There, i said it But I get what you are saying. Sometimes having what we consider an “outside force” make the decision is what it takes. And our own survivability be damned if we are in the drivers seat. There was this time in Cleveland. I knew I should avoid that blood bank, too much security. City full of hunters. Did that stop me? Nope. Was digging out bits of shrapnel and 22 rounds for weeks afterward.

This would open up a new world of gaming for me. Seriously I would of course make an all zombie Necro Dark. Goes without saying Ever see the old Batman TV shows? Or Venture Bros? The minions! The minions make it work. Having random soldiers thugs or undead is…honestly hard for me to work more than one concept out of. Having the soldiers wear outfits? Having the undead be all one type (of my choosing…ghosts, black shadow dogs, zombies, skeletons!! Game changer

heck for a few months about a year ago i knew a dozen people that were on "die and reroll" characters. i think using SO or drops only. not sure, i never wanted that pain. they did it nonstop for a couple months at least. each time one dies, reroll, join back in the team. not sure how far the longest survivors got. i suspect after mid 20s and mez city everyone was screwed.

There are a few level ranges where the "different" story arcs all take on the same subject matter. They are different. In that they are different missions, with different namers, and somewhat different goals. But meatloaf is meatloaf no matter how you change the recipe. Look to zones like Striga to change the story. meatloaf again?

There are (probably?) a few players on the least populated server. Think about this. Cancelled game, rediscovered. You find Homecoming. You CHOOSE a lower population server. You STAY there. Then the game changes your server to not have what the larger population servers get? This is a stupid out of it's mind charlie sheen tiger blood type of dumb.

Oh yes. I use these elements in some of my origin backstories. With the timeline being shredded around Paragon you can justify nearly any crazy idea

Glad you are having fun! Saw your in game tell…10 hours later. That toon is kneeling in fire in Mercy working in 100 million damage taken

Blueside is a nightmare for me when I do a completionist run. I keep a spreadsheet and notes like I am prepping for a doctoral thesis. So many contacts that are alt contacts that give same content. I get why they did it. To make it seem fresh. I just wish I could go back in time and exsanguinate them before they could write it down…

Even better than Ouro. Ouro is an alternate timeline. This would be something in your own timeline. I hope you know this will go down on your permanent record!

Because they want everyone in the world to do it with them of course. I know a few players who do hard mode challenges I am loathe to try. But the ones I set for myself I do. Other folks just want everyone to run along with them dragging the same 100 duffel bag they think they should drag. Its a mental game.

The character I did every contact, every mission, for every contact not accessible at 50. that took me 4 months or so to go 1-50. Oh, and I did it on Homecoming Excelsior. No need for a new server at all. Just shut off experience, side switched through Null, and ground contacts.

No you idiot. It is a poem about Brutes

Also, I encourage everyone to use my strategy of farming through the lower levels then running content. The recent changes make clear the Devs are not pro farm. So, it is everyone’s responsibility to farm as much as they can. Immanentize the Eschaton

Lol. Enjoy your way. I enjoy mine. 1) I have extra slots to throw at level 1-15 powers which make thrm useful for Posi 2) if I start the TF run at low 30s and do all red/blue I pretty much 50 just doing content i would do anyway 3) even with farming nerf hammered it does not take long to get a toon to high 20 low 30s

I am carrying a torch for Ghost Widow so I have not asked Glenda myself. But I thought she was hooked up with Clamor for a while. Maybe they were just doing costume design Anyways you should ask her. If you don’t ask it is an automatic no…

I am almost the exact opposite. Unless it is a “project” with specific low level goals I farm a toon to high 20s to low 30s. Then I respec them frontloaded for exemplar activity. Then I start Posi 1,Posi2, Synapse, Tarikoss,…. You see the pattern. This allows me to enjoy the toon on PUG teams, learning the powers as they come in. I earn some merits and have fun. Fun….like all the world is Saturday morning cartoon time!
