I went to a museum with friends a few times. I have studied art and done a few doodles and canvases. I enjoy being in a museum. Being inspired, imagining what the artist was thinking as they created, beholding intricate techniques used to express concepts. A lot of people just look at the stuff and want to go somewhere else. I had one friend (a rather overweight fellow) who almost sprinted through the museum (with stairs!) reading off each artist and title he passed. I tediously kept up. glum at seeing a Picasso race past me like it was on a conveyor belt. Many folks treat the game the same way my friend thinking of the bar awaiting him outside treated the museum. They race through "all the content" Bullshit, I have a completionist toon I am working, all 1-35 content done...still need 35-50, 40-50, and 45-50, and erm 50-50 to go. I spent months doing the 1-35. Now a 50 he still has access to all the rest that 'needs' to be done. That is a LOT. People do some series of things they think are "enough" racing past the stuff, yelling out the names or badges, then say "Done!" as they exit. Just Bullshit. But it is not how much content the game has. There is a good amount. It is whether the game meets the players needs. For creativity, social interaction, problem solving, etc. With a declining population we are always going to be on the downside of social possibilities. But from a character creator and game content and mini games we do very well. Especially the character design. From costume to playstyle to powersets. Always been top notch.

I just honestly love the geek pride evident in this picture. I sorely miss Comicons. I want my people back! just checked. Comicon in my city in September (unless we get the 7th wave of you know what,,,,) I am going to be there. AND I just decided I will be in full vamp drag. Fear me mortals! (If you notice me before sunset I am buying a few super inspirations for sunlight protection during that time....bidding low now, should have enough by September) -
Arguing endlessly on community boards. That is what brings in new players. Guaranteed

New Regen Powerset - What could it look like?
Snarky replied to Troo's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I doubt I can add much to the conversation. I have run a LOT of Willpower. Love it. Not much Regen. It sits at a tough end of the CoH game design spectrum IMO. Invulverability is custom made to be in the sweet spot and Regen is wayyyyyyyyy out in the sour, The only thing I look at when I eyeball it (and I am sure this is crazy as it gets) is why is Moment of Glory +Def/+Res. (I know why, it works....) But it does not match thematically at all. Okay, you have a Moment of Glory, you finally get the powers you need for CoH is what it seems to say. How about.....WAY MORE REGEN THAN THE GAME CAN HANDLE? For those beautiful 15 seconds you can stand in death patches from incarnate trials....have BAB and POS and the entire Freedom Phalanx pound you into the ground (and smile back at them....) How about Regeneration? Show some theme truth. Show some creative continuity. Show what REAL Regeneration could be.... -

Energy Melee is very good since the rework. Top notch revision from the Homecoming Team. I stick to Invulnerability and Dark armors so can offer no opinion on Energy Armor

1) i've heard the set blows anyways 2) wind control (or whether folks farm *eyeroll) will have no effect on attracting players

I personally love Willpower Brutes. I ran SS/Will Brutes on Live and had a hoot (when I/O builds were not easy to put together. Again, lot of SOs. While not able to "Tank" easily and needing to learn the odds before absorbing the Alpha strike, a Willpower Brute, (in my opinion) is a great intro to the game. I run Invul Brutes because with a high end I/O build at incarnate levels Willpower loses out (on a lot) comparatively. This is real end game stuff though. At low levels to 49 the ease of Willpower is fairly balanced to the greater durability of Invulnerability Claws.... I do not know claws. However Super Strength is just hilarious. Willpower also has the End to power any crazy thing including Titan Weapons etc.

Without any Snarky motivation I honestly do not believe the sub community that farms (or what they farm) will add or subtract from the separate discussion of bringing new players onboard (or their experiences once they join)

I started on Brutes. Brutes with mostly SOs and no inherent fitness. Still had a ball. Oh, well SOs after 22 lol Even if slow leveling I recommend a Brute. Learn the game behind armor. I also recommend taking free influence. I do not know if Yomo is still handing out influence but plenty of people are Consider joining an SG. (Necessary plug). I belong to Cosmic Council on Excelsior. Big SG with daily planned events. Discord. Welcoming to players of every level.

OSHA would not approve. But it was funny -
Right. So, we are capable of intricate plans involving multiple strategies First we make a careful plan. Second, we kidnap Tom Holland. Third, (here it gets complicated) we indoctrinate him over a few weeks. ( Like Patty Hearst Stockholm syndrome). After he realizes he loves CoH and must play hours everyday we release him back into the wild as a spokesperson

I have to wonder about the "meta problem" as in if there is a meta problem.... ? That being....are MMORPGS...dying? The genre. Like Blockbuster movies....a product with a declining market? Where are the successors to WoW, CoH, etc? Will they ever happen? Or is this type of thing just not viable for big efforts anymore?

Splatter house should really be two words unless referring to a specific video game. Then there is "flavourful," which is just flat out spelled incorrectly. -
I am away from my comp that has mids. But I will say that i saw at least six powers slotted with unbreakable guard. There is a “rule of 5” whereas any set bonus can only be used 5 times (even from different sets!) You may want to look up Hyperstrike’s write ups on Invulnerability Armor. It is the gold standard for Invul in my opinion. Seriously the bedrock of many bulletproof builds

I do very limited farming. Mostly to PL some new alt. So, about 3 hours every two weeks. That generates 50-100 mil in influence, plus the recipes (about 80?) which I craft, convert, and sell for a couple hundred million. It was my understanding that multiboxing farmers led to less rewards due to the split between teammates. Does anyone have the facts on this?

I actually have the opposite issue. I use inspirations too sparingly. I hoard them sure. They are in my email. They are in my character items from super packs. I collect them in my tray and combine them to what i think i will need. Then I wait…. To some extent it is the same with Hybrid. I wait too long too often. Once i know fights i am better about it. But just in general i am more of a hoarder and less of a user of inspirations and powers.

The difference is the suppression. Dark Armor Stealth will never suppress. You always have it, even in combat. Say, as a villain, you have a Dark Armor Brute. You see a group of Longbow next to the glowie you need. Next to them, in the same room, is another group of Longbow with two Wardens. Bad news. Unless you are Dark Armor! You solo the group of Longbow next to the glowie. Grab the Glowie. The group 35 feet away? They have no idea you just wiped out a Longbow squad. Those guys must have went on break.

someone asked in game for this....so bump

Dark armor has a “limited” stealth (not full invisibility) that does not suppress. It is good until about 30 feet away. That means you are not seen unless within 30 feet of a mob. Unless that mob has special sight like Rikti drones or Rularuu Eyeballs This is one of the tricks that makes Dark Armor so effective. What better defense than only being seen by what you want to see you?

You take one pointy sharp stick in your right hand. You pick up another sharp pointy stick in your left hand. Hit people with both sticks. You are welcome
