Snarky

The player did not have me on ignore (they might now). They answered me 5 minutes after the event. They told me they were there first and advised me not to take it personal. I told them since it had nothing to do with me I did not take it personal and told them they were the southern aperture of the digestive system (in one concise word).

Dark Melee feeds off high recharge, and sweetening the resists on armor is just too good.

So, I am slow levelling a character, badging as I go. Level 14, doing some Superadine raids. 1st one, solo, 37 Super trolls. Need 50. All Next day, 3 raids, people are 1) doing it wrong (killing the entire rave and not lettiong supers spawn) 2) not inviting to team. So I am watching a 50 just melt everything with me having no chance to badge and them ignoring requests in local and private tells for a team invite. See, Redsiders have always tended to work together. Sure, we are villains. But we are not stupid. um, except a few of the undead, a couple SS 'roid junkies, and the sociopath in the corner, while not stupid, does not play well with others. But aside from those exceptions Redsiders work together. Blue? Its a unflushed toilet bowl Blueside. Just not pretty

my only hope is that they are using the money productively. Like funding a plot to take over the world or sustain a major drug habit.

Before level 30 (except for a few globals like Panace etc) Single Origin Enhancers tend to be more powerful than sets.

Thank you Warpact. So. My 2 cents.... This Dark/Dark is what I run in everything up to and including all Incarnate content. The only places it struggles are during the Magisterium Trial and against Battle Maiden in TinPex. Both have unavoidable/unmitigatable damage patches that are huge. Dark Melee has longish animations. Other than that it is extremely tanky. Tankiness is achieved not through high defense. The old maxim holds true Def>Res>Heal. However on Dark/Dark you are invisible to mobs a short distance away. You can be killing 17 people and the unconnected 50 mobs twenty feet away ignore you while you eat their friends. You have to hit debuffs in almost everything. You have a Stun and a Fear aura that (on this build) will FU minions and Lts like a champ. You are not soft capped on Def. In my opinion chasing Def on Dark is silly. As soon as the debuff the defense you carefully built you are screwed. No Debuff Res. You have very very high resistances. (on this build) You have the BEST heal in the game up very fast. So, tanky. The build has a damage aura and Soul Drain is the best Build Up power in the game for melee, in my opinion. You have super solid ST damage and eat through minions with Aura at a fine clip. Not as much damage output as a Farmer, but very nice I assure you.

They seem to be progressing at the exact same "will release sometime this century" pace they had been before Homecoming arrived. Did you notice some giant shift in pacing???

This is deep CoH history. Short answer: effectively NO. Although with Villain Alignment power and some other rare/odd circumstances it will be higher than 85 for a few seconds. Long answer. NO. But the reason is Brutes were regularly out damaging Scrappers on Live. To "Fix' this the Devs "effectively" capped the Fury at 85%. To throw Brutes a bone they also softened the Fury decay quite a bit. But over 85% the Decay is INSANE. This made Brute do less damage than Scrappers, although not by tons. I give no numbers or formulas. But that is the lore.

What Apparition said. Also, youre a Redsider. Right. So do Not kill the NPC at the end of the arc. (If you do Weber first). Because when you Ouro Firewire the last thing he does is send you to talk to the schmuck. Had to have a GM save me on that point or would mot get badge. I kill less NPCs when badging now. So frustrating

Wait, you mean all thise walls of text arent random tells?

So, when you go to complete Redside you can do every contact. Mostly. Except VEAT contact if not a VEAT. Blueside. Sigh. Lady you vex me. In the 5-9 I completed: Twinshot David Wincott Detective Jose Brogan Flux Genevieve Sanders Paula Dempsey Ron Hughes Samuel Pierce This left uncompleted. Henry Peter Wong Juan Jimenez Kip Cantorum Laurence Mansfield Linda Summers Maurice Feldon Paco Sanchez Rachel Torres Tony Kord Vic Johansson I ran a Safeguard and no contact was offered. I checked each contact. They all appear to be content I ran on the 5-9 group I completed. (Although a lot of this boring drivel could be different and not sure I would catch it...) I remember from trying this back on live this was an issue. I assume I have completed all POSSIBLE 5-9 content... Does this continue on all through 50 or does this happy horse crap end at some point?

I wanted it. Now I have it. You can have it too. No guarantees. This is my first attempt at data entry for this project. Could be mistakes. i do not know Blueside, could be some odd crap. Let me know if you find anything off. Thanks. contacts.xlsx

I would rather have a sensible dev team and a great community. If i wanted hot garbage i could always play champions

run a F-ing Brute. it is the only way you will get the armor you want. You will still complain about the 'holes' in the armor you pick. enjoy.

i am assuming you can either do officer fields or sobdra costel 91-7) intro by matthew habashy but no way to get both? i finished? i think? 1-7 blue and red and will start contacts ending at 8 and 9 tomorrow redside i know, blue...a lot. are some of them impossible to get dupes? or all available?

and the second group poses the first problem. listed as contacts 5-9, but contacts in 5-9 range are 1-7. So, not useless, but not accurate...

You left out “using strategy” but it may be implied in the wall of answers

I am starting my solo every contact Blueside (and red/gold!) But it is Blue where I am struggling. I do not want to miss any contact. There is much misinformation out there and no way I have discovered to search definitively for the info and be sure nothing is missed. My goal is to knock out 1-14 before Oct 31st, this way I can badge the Halloween Mansion. There is so much misinformation, like what i am posting below from another thread. Which has contacts that no longer give missions. The wikis are helpful, but also cause problems due to overload of information AND missing information. So I am asking people to post contacts they know are real in the 1-14 Blue side, preferable with level ranges listed. Thanks.

So, e.g., you don't need to do the missions from both Ashwin Lannister and Laurie Pennington. They both offer only the level 25-29 Mutation-origin missions.

Villain. Out for a walk. Bitch.

I am phasing away from running leadership toggles. Over the last year or so it has become regular for me to pick up all three then a friend pointed out most teams and leagues that are good do not need them. Most teams that might benefit from them are so scattered and chaotic that they will be minimal in value. so i plan to build and slot in other wayseven maneuvers is getting a hard second look on builds I consider it standard for

I have fallen back on one if my oldest loves. Dark/Invul Brute. This thing is a beast. I could have run a Blaster and probably be done a bit faster. But this was one of the first “you can do that?” Characters for me. I started on SS/Invul and followed the forum advice of a guru speaking of high recharge Dark/Invul insanity. And they were right. It suits the backstory I am running as well. My main, a vampire, named Snarky. Incarnate Blaster. Sitting around thinking. Too much. So many dangers in the world, even for an incarnate. Sunlight, stake to the heart, cutting off the head, and medi porters can only save you so often. As we know from certain story lines. Sooooo Snarky took all of his incarnate powers and with the help of a powerful sorceress coalesced Negative Material Plane energy ( the source of a Vampires power) into a solid “hyper real” substance on the Prime Material plane. This they used to craft a robotic chassis ( basically a golem) that would act as a soul jar (like for a lich) that they bound his spirit to. They stabilized his body in a moment of time, cut off his head, and attached it to the golem robot which is powered by Negative material energy just like a vampires body. Now Snarky was all but indestructible (in theory) but nearly devoid of power ( all his current stash going into creating the golem and bonding himself to it. He would need to gather more power (from the well). As part of the process (and for safety, the best secrets no one knows) he slipped back through the time stream to before anyone knew him. Now he could gather power in relative obscurity and safety. And while he was at it….make contact with every possible individual in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles AND Praetoria. Because it is not what you know, it’s who you know. And everyone would know Snarky. Or as he goes now….Snarkbot.

This was why i said Blueside is way more complicated. You can do ALL content. Many Contacts are “duplicates” especially in the older lower level stuff. An old memory says this trails off after 30 or so. By doing the content on one of the Duplicates you eliminate the possibility (and need) to redo those exact same missions and story arcs 4 more times. You do still need to do the footwork on all Contacts to see if in fact they correlate to someone you have completed. Unless some Dev or search Guru has a list of those they would kindly share?

If you start Gold you will miss contacts 1-20 Red and Blue. Only Gold has ALL 1-20 content in Ouro (required for badges)

I am starting a new toon that will do every contact Red/Blue/Gold. Sigh lol. I will need to do Gold 1-20 in Ouro. Stop experience at 4,7, 9, 14, 19 etc. I have a detailed list of all Redside. I have succeeded at that multiple times. For Blue it is very complicated. Many contacts are ‘alternate’ contacts that provides the exact same story arcs and side stories on Blueside as other contacts. As far as I know this is written for different origins to make the replay seem different but carbon copy the same content. My strategy: list all zones in level range i am working on. Wiki search each zone/contact. Make list. Grind grind grind. When everyone in appropriate zones stop hiving missions double check contacts i wrote down. Any that are incomplete research to determine if they are duplicates or unlockable or something else If zone is complete check off. If there are contacts that are for later write down in my notebook for later. I think i can have the project done by end of Spring. Going to be a long Winter lol
