Snarky

Given the technical difficulties AND the time crunch AND the fact that (sigh) most people will want them and the badges…. I agree (not that my opinion counts for much) with the decision to drop the things on live. Hard call but good call

looks like my baby pic

Wait, ....is this the green attorney?

I was told once how many social connections a human brain can handle. I forget the exact number, but it is not a lot. I want to say in the 700-800 range? That data has long slipped into "never going to be tested on it" storage. My point in bringing this up is that this forum is a world. Not the "real" world. Not the "game world" It is an not quite enclosed community. With noisy neighbors. Trash collectors. Scavengers. Thieves. Police. Teachers. Bus drivers. Poets. Philosophers. Experts. Sometimes a thief will be a poet....when they are not fulfilling their duties as a cop.... The world is not what you make it. It is what WE make it. Humanity's greatest and most terrible power. Yes, that sometimes means a battlefield too.

Well then Mistuh advertising exec you is missing da point. If you do not like the new 50....reroll it the next time a token is available. Hey! In TWO WEEKS! Bazinga!

It was envisioned (i suppose) as a way to keep a super team balanced as they progressed through content but allow for some individual romping off to do whatever when their friend was not on. In practice it was a farm method and it has broken everything everywhere everytime it was used

A Leveling Pact is a feature introduced in Issue 13 (and disabled in Issue 21 after changes to the Sidekick system had reduced the need for it) and an innovation to MMORPGs; this system allows two players to create new characters (or use existing low-level characters) and have their experience be permanently synced, whether or not both characters are online. They will always be the same level, even if one pactmate plays ten times more often than the other.

They were Levelling pacts.

There is a note at the beginning of the thread that these EBs are only supposed to trigger for teams. They were unable to complete that coding in time for the event. It is on the schedule for next year

Dark Dark knows what it's done... Seriously though. Taking as a pairing it is a grab bag of crap that has zero synergy. As stated above, Touch of the Beyond is one of the worst sustains in Blasters. Soul Drain is the worst build up in Blasters. Taken together the mix of PBAoE, cones, and variation in ranges makes it lopsided to try to find where you are supposed to run combat from. You have a damage aura. But you need to keep moving to line up cones. the ranges on your ST are all different, and different from your cones. Dark Pit is useless in the modern game, and a damned expensive useless thing at that. Half this crap isnt even worth taking to mule stuff on a build. The entire thing is a shit show. If you take it for anything besides a Dark concept toon you will be miserable. On a Dark concept toon you will be happy with the concept and feel like you have sandpaper underwear and nails in your shoes each combat. It is an uncomfortable mess.

Not for years. But my SG runs some casual stuff once or twice a week

Probably 25-30 unless you got it on sale. 4 pieces and a base

mostly going back to soloing old content. really not liking everyone wanting to do +4/x8 speedrun of hardmode new content and expecting me to be at the missions end 2 min after the mish is posted.

They are completely revising opportunity and the Sentinel damage scale. Go to Sentinel forum for a peek. Go to Beta (right i never go there) to try it out

I played a bit this weekend. The one thing that struck me? EVERYONE was playing on hyper speed run mode. If you take 3 min to get to mission objectives (from time mission is posted to team) you may as well just fight mobs at the door. In the mission or out would not matter much. Pretty much no thanks for me. I am mostly done. I will putz around on some solo stuff and run some content with my SG friends. I have no interest in racing through buildings like my meth dealer is at the end of it with free product. Never why I played the game. This is what people want. That is okay. I also think most people (not all but a lot) do actually want EBs in the ToT event. Probably more if they could crank it to eleven. I am an old vampire. Sigh. Time to go write. I am so old I prefer to do that on pen and paper even. But I do make allowances for possibly needing revisions and maybe sending to an editor so it goes on a comp. Sigh. So dam old

A re-vamp (pun intended) of Dark Dark Blast do it looks like it actually works in a game. Any game. Cause this version is a car with three wheels and an emergency spare. Then one of the remaining tires has loose lugs, the suspension is shot and it appears there is something in the trunk that should have went to compost a few months ago

I never liked fire. Maybe its the vamp thing lol

I ran Super Strength for years on Live. My first 6 months back here was on a SS Brute. I follow SS threads pretty regularly. You have to climb a tall mountain to create a worse suggestion for a SS change than most. But you HAVE DONE IT. THIS SUCKS LIKE A JET ENGINE

Wait a minute...

It is a Nemesis plot.

I am crazy, not unreasonable. This would knock off half the work and still, as you say, address many concerns raised upthread. Honestly I did not put this in suggestions originally because I believe it has all the chances of a sailboat in a hurricane. It was meant as sarcasm and I really think Widower took the entire thread too seriously. But here we are. There was a great idea about recycling 50s (which the OP deleted) with a memorable character walk to a "totally not the suicide" booth

Noooooo It is a Plea! (And I HATE having my crap moved)

Just joined a Silver Mantis. It filled quickly. Ran fast. Depends on what you are trying to lead I suppose.

First off, I want to applaud the hard work and thank the Devs for doing something for Sentinels. I will probably dust off a few Sentinel 50s and see what is up. I am ever pessimistic. What a shock!
