Snarky

This seems to be the problem in the writing. To me. The redside version was plot driven and cool. The blueside seems to be a giant puzzle box that is extremely complicated (and easy to screw up due to coding mechanics as much as gameplay) that is hard until you figure it out. So…. Then it is like a Rubiks cube. Okay, thats done, next. Meanwhile the redside is still cool because it told a story well rather than try to screw the player one good time

I see quite a few Cosmic Council SG members from Excelsior in there! Congratulations!!! (Not me, i play dirty casual style...fly...clear most lol)

for me it was really frustrating in that the first time in i could not get the first door (before any fights) to open or the glowie to work. then i ran it, completed it, and did not know a radio had randomly appeared in a room in the mission. so i did not know how to contact the guy and finish the mission. so i re ran the whole Fing thing. that time the radio appeared next to me...

issue resolved. Claire is one of 6 technology contacts in the 20-24 range. They are carbon copies with different contacts to obfuscate the fact you are doing the same thing on your next toon. I rolled Claire. Her wiki article is truncated. The other Tech contacts have all those missions that I was wondering about.

I actually loved the villain version and wrote a glowing review when it came out. This is my first time through Blue version. This sucks. I am not a fan of change that goes to the suck.

Will Running Targeting Drone put you into a "fast snipe?" maybe on high accuracy builds? (I run high accuracy high ranged def builds a lot on blasters....)

although her wiki article does not state it i am starting to suspect this lady will send me on as many hunts and non arc kill boss missions as a comp can generate.... i have done her arc, her badge mission, all missions listed, plus some, and she keeps handing out more

in a strange way you can slot 3 superior/3 regular in the same power.....and get 2 of the 3 set bonuses. one 3 set superior. one 3 set regular. but, again, each of the pieces cannot be duplicated.

so 1) we are still talking about this 10+ years later 2) nothing will ever change 3) they will solve global warming before they figure this one out carry on.

as long as they are not the same set pieces. you can have two 3 sets. or a two set and a four set. superior on not does not matter. but only one of each type

after 4 tries i finished this mission. I just soloed all goldside through Ouro. I hated it. Hate goldside. Hands down this mission was worse than any mission goldside and worse than some arcs. 1) completely unclear instructions that no gaming in the city will prepare you to figure out. (touch only the side of the screen? and others...) 2) lets add smoke and obstructions 3) later lets add fire and make everything practically unseeable 4) changing (and mostly unclear) objectives 5) add a timer! 6) add glowies later that werent there before so you think you searched a room, but surprise, the map changed!!! 7) keep screwing with the team by adding random debuffs, damage, and end drain 😎 is there any way to actually physically harm the player (just a note i found on the wall in the back....)

Admin/password??? i am 10 feet inside door. Zero enemies. Second door and glowie. Neither do anything

I did the Graveyard Shift Vahz arc redside. very nice. now trying to complete it Blue. "investigate Pathogen's Warehouse" step inside. Metal grate door blocks entire mission. "need key" Glowie beside door. unresponsive. No clues, nothing to interact with. Stoooooopid.

he loves bombs. a dual pistol/device. while not super fire/fire blaster.....it could work. toe bombing is funny

I would go so dar as to say build an entirely different (but similar) SS set with no Rage. Toggle instead of Rage cycle. Called MIGHt or something. 1) Hand Clap is....meh> meh a good word? meh. Hurl. Okay, picking up slabs of street and throwing it. 1) childish 2) disrespectful 3) inefficient. But since we cannot even get a consensus on the Rage issue I am entirely sure yjis idea is about as useful as straw building material in a hurricane. carry on....

no. i must have made an oopsie. when doing this for a couple months at a time there will inevitably be imperfections. sigh. thanks for the feedback

I am diligently trying to solo the entire game, every contact, arc and side mission. Once I start a contact's content I do not quit until they absolutely refuse to give me anything else. Then i verify they do not have later level content. I was quite surprised therefore to find that while I did all Eagle Eye's content I somehow missed his 'personal story' which I completed through Ouro. Has a badge "You Should See The Other Guy" It is an odd mission in that you go back in time as another character with different powers. Can anyone confirm this is available through his regular contact or is it Ouro only?

Mind/Pain Controller or Mind/Psi Dom...

Super Strength is great. I love it. I love the old school concept. I have stories to tell about SS toons. But the rage crash…. I started on SS Brutes. Played them for years. Prefer 1 stack Rage due to crash mgt. would love it to be a toggle. Will not ever play it again until something changes Doing what Bill Z Bub said is wise. Possibly a second SS set that us exactly the same except with a different buff (as suggested by BZB). If that would be mechanically easier to implement

Any Super Strength that is not built around being a Rage Monster. Like, a noble heroic Super Strength. A cold calculating Super Strength, etc. etc

Nothing to see here. Move along

number 2 might be Soul Drain....from many Dark sets. a personalized 30 second Fulcrum Shift that can be near perma'd oh, you meant T2.....a lot of attack powers that become a base of an attack chain. not flashy, but neither is a car engine

i disagree

No. They have their buffs, gimmicks, and other benefits. Also, you ignored the fact i pointed out Smashing was a very commonly resisted/defended against damage type. So, lets just agree to ignore each other fully, rather than this part time crap eh?

Smashing may not be the highest resisted damage. But it is very commonly resisted. Also. Comparing what damages PvE enemies do and resist with what players do and resist is not a straight up apples to apples comparison. MA, Staff, StJ and War Mace all have boosts and gimmicks going for them that SS does not. Are you talking about removing those build ups and benefits and doing a comparison then? If so you might have a point. It is stupid to do, but sure, then you would need to give the sets something. Perhaps like the build ups and benefits those sets have. As a guess.
