Snarky

If someone is handing you “toast” from a machine that looks like that the next adventure in your life will no doubt involve a probe.

I do avoid radios and newspapers. The only time I do them now is when soloing projects low level to open up a new contact. 3-5 radio/paper, then bank, then intro. Since Banks are available without radios/papers if you are connected to a good SG or are a badger that is another strike against them being run regular These things are incredibly repetitive. I would give it the challenge mode treatment with an extra reward. Challenge being defeat all with enemies being upgraded (bosses upgraded to EBs etc) on standard settings and a reward of ??? Aether? Orange recipe? A revised content would be great but the staff is busy doing great work elsewhere.

I am going to be running a Blaster on this team that is doing a crawl to 50. I volunteered up a Dark Dark (of course) But I thought that was to about 20. We going to fiddy. Sigh. There are a few trollers, a Fire Fire Blaster, A fender, a tank, and a sentinel, a scrapper and a couple corrs. We will start out as two teams. Within a few gaming sessions these thing tend to boil down to 4-7 of us. That will be the Sentinel, The Fire^2 Blaster, me, the Tank, and a fire/kin Corr. Hopefully one of the 3 trollers will hang in there and the other corr 50% time. All on SO only builds. I am seriously looking at that AR rifle traps lol. Especially since I can now just skip web grenade and take trops. Put a KD proc in there as a ghetto 'troll and just start blastin' errr no I/O F me. But really any of the pure ranged sets are calling me. Not sure I want to go Ice/Ice. I love it, but I miss a real nuke. The AR doesnt have quite a real Nuke but that hybris T9 cone thing is a meat eater. Never played water, i built a Seismic to see it go off and then never played it. I do like Elec but it gets penalized for being pure ranged and there are no other drainers on the team. Beam is great on bosses and kind of crappy at room cleaning. Any thought? Anything

…..a red sauce….

Excelsior is pretty busy. Glad to have you back. These is plenty of PUG activities. Heck last night there was a PUG Master of Underground that netted me that badge! Lot of weekly Task Force runs etc. have fun

I have used a Comic Con as part of an origin story before. Fucking hilarious and confusing and fun

Sonic is great. I use one to keep my fangs clean. You know blood can leave stains and gets in between teeth and just stays

Flock of Seagulls?

Now it makes sense. New hard mode ITF. I am guessing 1 star (out of 4!)

Why you do a Master run at +2? and how did....nvm. gl

i've gotten impatient and pulled Nighstar with a Blaster before. Siege is too far down, that road is paved with tombstones

*cough I am on a Dark Dark Blaster and I LOVE to lead into a fresh spawn if the team is lagging. I just ran a MSR and would fly out of the bowl and nuke groups to pull them down, just like I would on my Brute. Okay, I ran faster without waiting to see the effects.... Once in a while this causes a faceplant. But it is pretty rare. And sometimes...full spawn wipe. Most times unless level is cranked the spawn is just ragged bones left over. If my nuke is noty up I lead with my KD proc'd cone and just start hosing. (4 cones)

I would advocate shorter broader range AoE cones for all Sentinels. or most. CoX always has outliers. Something like converting two lesser performing powers in most Sentinel attack sets to clones of Kinetic Melees Repulsing Torrent (40'. 45 degree arc. or even 60+) with higher target caps, and Kinetic Melee Focused Burst. 40' ST High Damage attack.

Oh, you can give PvPers badges, hats with rotating propellers, whatever. Then insulate that from PvE by not having it display in PvE zones to anyone looking. In case you missed the sub text, I HATE online PvP. You want to PvP me? Let's grab a chessboard. Put away the phone comp. Let's PvP.

i still vehemently disagree with this decision. PvE and PvP should be completely separate.

Uun posted upthread that you should use Tar Patch every time it is up. I actually had pretty good luck doing this. Not dying and really screwing with mobs. When it looked fierce I would wait for the agro to be grabbed. The only issue is the Blaster just does so much more damage. I can clean mobs that the Corr is debuffing.

Makes pocket D more popular. To me the D has fond memories. No, not of furries and cat gurlz. I play on Excelsior to stay away from the bulk of that. I remember on live getting the good vs evil edition of CoX. This came with a city map, and a credit card sized “Pocket D VIP pass”. Which also had an in game power to get to the Tiki room in Pocket D. I played Redside (shocker) and tgat was my ghetto travel power when you has to build for Stamina and take a first pick to open travel power as second pick. On my Brutes that meant 30s before fly kicked in. So welcome to the D! Now kindly step away from my table. I am a VIP!

I have actually merged the ideas from that elec Blaster with the playstyle i learned on the Dark^3 Corruptor and rebuilt my Dark Dark Soul Blaster to merge the two. That is now my main. Does more damage than the Elec Blaster, but plays in close. Has Phase Shift in case things go south, or I need to get a few hundred yards through enemies that see through stealth. It lacks many tools from the Corruptor but is quite hardy and hits like…a Blaster. side note, new Sentinel Armor earth w/e has geode which….isnt that-a stationary phase shift? Because i got a lot of grief for “needing it” when Sentinels are above such things lol *clutches anchor tighter….the bottom must be down here somewhere. What does Mary Annas mean?

or rather than code the crap ot of your trays ....and it sounds like you are going to want a lot of stuff automated....you can just click on their name and send a tell..."pls invite"

i have not run trollers. if it has the same powers i would suspect it is slightly better on trollers. it is the two debuffs, one aoe one st that make cold so good. pair that with scourge and DoT (i run ice ice, but fire is tasty) and you got a winner

You should prob move this to the "generic Archtype" forum if you are asking what archetype to be? Fire is a great blast set, and the Cold Secondary on Corruptors is GREAT. But I never play those sets (except cold randomly) So...gl

Interesting point. Seriously deep philosophically gamewise. But it precludes any AH transactions due to it's premise. You cannot trade the Wetware Enhancer you found on a dead Freak for ANY Inf that the populace has bestowed on Johnny Awesome, no matter how much Johnny Awesome wants to make the deal with you.

If I could handle pet class at all I suspect that in some circumstances MMs might finally meet the original goal...being a Tank. The pets are level shifted down in incarnate, but that still makes them useful as bodyguard damage sponges? That cannot be harmed by damage patches.... seems like there is a opportunity there

Yeah. I don't think it was spelled out that clear but there were warnings lol. I guess Squid Billy is destined for DFB 4ever.

Really wish there was a no fade option on this. I am a vampire. I know mortals cannot see me. I am not a ghost. I am not translucent
