Snarky

Knockback powers to me are one of those things i wish a Dev team would go in and allow us yo customize. Do you want knock back or knock down? It could be a permanent choice of changeable at a trainer like a build switch so many of these things are just how the game was and what we have to play around. I have KB in one Dark Blast cone. I slap in a KB—-> KD proc. Costs me one (quite precious) enhancement slot. Problem solved

I have a level 19 with over 700 merits. These were earned over the last couple weeks stopping experience, running solo story arcs, badging zones for every location and fighting giant monsters. That would make a pretty penny if i just turned it into converters and sold them

I ran on live for almost two years using builds that were 80-95% Single Origin enhancers. If you really want funds start farming. Or learn to market. Or come onto the forums and melt down. The first two are guaranteed to make a lot of funds. The last one is funny to watch

DreadShinobi makes a small income writing fortune cookies as a side biz

The price varies with market swings ps please stop cornering the market and flipping. Damned irritating to folks just trying to game

I am turning off experience to do all Redside (and Ouro Blue/Gold). My concern is actually the DIB which is good to 30. Since this toon is run only when I am not doing SG activities 20-30 will definitely take more than a week in game time. I suppose I will need to redo DiB a few times lol

The verbage on the Wiki and in-game state the temp powers gained from Dib and DFB last one week. Is that accurate?

I main a Dark/Dark. I really enjoy it. I am starting to play like a Blaster and not a Brute lol. Still not blapping though. I bop on for soul drain, T9 Blackstar and then head for the hills. I have 4 cones to hose the unwashed masses and of course nice long range ST

For solo there are ways you can break out of the rules and 'meta game' the crap out of content. The first is the Invention Origin system. This allows you to use Sets of Enhancers to build crazy benefits onto your villain. errr hero. Another good way is base buffs. There are 'empowerment stations' in many bases (you can make a base for free and add one yourself) that will provide hour long buffs to Resistance, Endurance, etc.... The Pay 2 Win vendor provides a multitude of little prizes. (most free, none charging real world cash) these range from temp Endurance buffs to Health boosters to Intangibility power. And....drum roll....calling for backup. Temp powers that summon a few lackeys to help with crap this is too numerous or too tough to solo. There are a multitude of other ways to crack the walnut but those are a few of the low hanging fruit that you might want to grab.

I don't run Regen so I have no build ideas stored for it. I understand there are a couple TFs/Trials/raids where Regen is King for Tanking certain mechanics. Not sure which ones. Hami may be one of them? Anyways Good Luck and enjoy the journey!

There is no chance this stuff will be added to ouro. Okay nearly none. Filler? Hmmmm. That is hard to quantify since the entire game is a time sink lol. I enjoy Redside so much i take a character once a year and do it all, stopping experience to complete every contact (even the hunts and “side” missions.

If you do the old school non-ouro stuff there is a lot more content

I just got my field crafter badge on my level 19 story arc toon. I literally put 1,000 generic I/Os level 10-50 of all types on the market. listed at 1 inf each. I make a lot of money crafting converting and selling. when i do i sell 50-150 Set I/os (generally heal, defense, resists, endmod) for about 75% of market value. (I want to move these things...) If you are struggling to pay for I/Os it is because you do not truly understand how to earn in the modern game. In my opinion.

When I am "focused" on playing I Slap the (created) tab NPC Dialog on to help me figure out clues on what room the goal is in. The General chat above that? They could be talking about billions being given away under the statue of the guy with one huge ball and new york being destroyed on television by a freak tsunami. I would never see it as it streamed past.

It is standard practice (not 100%, but real common) on Excelsior for LFG posts to state "Giant Monster in X, Broadcast in Zone for invite" This is almost always true for Mother Ship Raids. This is not uncommon for Imperious Task Forces. Incarnate Trials in Ouro... You sensing a pattern? Oh, also a pattern. People getting their panties in a bunch because they don't get treated like a "Queen for a Day" when they send a tell deigning to inform someone they might be interested in doing something.

Welcome to the greatest game in this time stream! I solo a lot. I have taken many Brutes and soloed all Redside. I stop experience (Menu, options) at levels 5, 14, 19, etc to ensure I get every contact, every mission. I thoroughly enjoy the Redside arcs. I am currently doing this on a Blaster. (See "Notes from Redside" conversation thread in General for a blow by blow. Really hope you enjoy the experience.

I run Villains and Rogues mostly. Being asked to get to the zone before the invite is so standard it is like getting mail in a white envelope. I frequently get asked to wait to be invited WHILE IN ZONE because it is a mixed team. These snowflake heroes who are distressed they cannot get an invite the second they wave their foppish hand in the air for attention are hilarious.

I was in the United States Navy at 17. I am an old man and i drive Semi Trucks for a living in a busy metro market. ( currently watching two truck drivers in a very small lot scream at each other while i sit in dock) If there is something you can type that will offend me i tip my hat to you. i will not need to put you on ignore if this happens. If you are that foul you will get your account banned. This will be for the simple reason that you are like that to more people than just me. That will send waves of feedback to the HC team

Thank you for leading great Leagues on Excelsior Oklahoman!!!

I never put anyone on ignore. If i am put on ignore. ? What? Some jerk doesnt want to talk to me? Oh my. What will I do?

Knockback. You say you have noticed more disdain of KB recently. This is perception. Disdain of KB with all the symptoms you seem to have accurately reported goes back to live. Probably back yo Beta testing but i was not there before around Good vs Evil edition Leaving life out of the game. Hmmm. Do you know what Art is? Being serious. Something told to me in an Art class stuck with me. When someone looks at something (painting sculpture whatever) and it brings up thoughts or feelings then it is art. It communicated something through an object. This is based not just on the skill of the artist but more importantly on the life experiences and inner symbolic language of the perceiver. When people “react” it is art. People react to MMORPGs. There are as many ways to experience CoH as there are people who play it. They will indeed bring “real life” into it

Actually i will be doing Goldside. Had actually decided to do First Ward and Night Ward as part of this. Will pick up older Goldside badges through Ouro. This project might not be done until Xmas but it will load into 50 with a truly epic number of Badbes and Merits (not spending any). Also dumping Transcendent Merits on him as my farmers get them. Once he does 50 finally should slingshot to all tier 4s lol

Okay, new update time! (I will be updating these as I finish each level range.) I just finished Port Oakes (and some Cap au Diable.) That finishes off 10-14. Because of the Going Rogue for DFB I decided this toon will be doing more than my Redside runs normally do. i will badge all Blue content through Ouro. I will get all possible Blue badges as available. This means I was able to badge every zone except The Hive and The Abyss. 523 badges at level 14! 711 Reward Merits. There were some GMs that I normally would not have gotten due to the costume contest. (I got runner up on Excelsior!) Plans for 15-19 include the four DiBs for buffs to 30. Cavern of Transcendence and Posi 1 & 2. My general strategy is to do the TFs and Trials as I am slightly over the maximum level. So no Synapse until I am 24 and doing 20-24 content for example. I do like an easy run lol. Highlight of the 10-14 range was the mission from Dmitri Krylov to kidnap Paragon citizens to be delivered to Vahzilok surgeons. People say they do not feel like a villain running Redside content.... Do they not actually do this stuff? Things are going slow this run. I am badging way more, doing more side content, and generally just bopping around. Also, a lot of my gaming time is doing SG events. My SG keeps a full (and fun!) calendar.

No idea. The problem is after you finish fire wires arc you have one last mission. Go talk to the guy. If he is dead you gotta call a GM to bump you past and get the complete. There is a badge for all Mercy missions so it has to complete Lt Harris is the Longbow traitor. I could not tell for sure about Webber. You look safe. Fire Wire specifically has the mission to see Harris listed Webber does not

I have always robbed the bank lol. Similarly for the Mercy Arc where the Longbow traitor helps tou I have to restrain myself from killing him. If i kill him he is not available for me to Ouro do the Fire Wire Arc and i have to get a GM to help me complete the stupid thing. I am a creature of habit. At least the dialogue for not killing him is appropriate “you will be useful to me later”
