Snarky

and epilogue... i forgot to turn off experience. *facepalm! I think I made this mistake at least once on live. embarrassing, but crap happens. and unlife moves on. this will be my badger for Excelsior. more hard stuff done on him pre 30 than many of my high badge characters have done yet! I might try Blue Side next time. That particular White Whale has never been landed by me. Cyas in the city.

Okay, August 14 seems much longer ago than it was lol. I got a LOT done. All Redside content completed. This was 20-29 and 25-29 at +0/x1, AVs as EBs. (The original default solo settings) Ouro all Blueside accomplishment badges through level 25. Ouro all Goldside 1-20 content. This was a LOT. sigh. Done at -1/x1. Goldside was overclocked in my opinion. I unclocked it. Not fun. First Ward all content done. This was fun. Ouro all Flashback badges for 1-15, 16-19, 20-24. Level 29 Haul: 807 Badges, 2, 576 Reward Merits, 147 Souvenirs, 940 mission completed with the 1 failure. 77 Flashback arcs in that mess. 203 hours in game. 30-34 content will be Redside at +0/x1, Nightward will be done with 35-39 content. Ouro will include only Flashback badges for 25-29 and the Blueside accomplishments for 25-29.

i finished this. i hope to never do it again lol

better than this. Teach people how to farm. As in make an alt account and farm yourself. So much faster and less drama.

Big revamp on Energy Melee a while back. Like a decade overdue and real nice.

I had this topic found. Really nice write up. 3 days ago. Now that i need it I closed the window. And cannot find it by searching for Ouro or Flashback in badges section. Anyone know how to find the topic?

I been soloing a lot o n a Dark Dark Blaster. A Dark Psi Blaster would be very powerful.

Big Phister is probably available too. Jump on that folks

The first villain respec is kill (30?) circle of thorns. The contact is in Nerva and the natural assumption is to head north and battle the CoT. Nope. Take the ferry to cap au diable and kill the grey ones near the university. Many examples of this exist redside i do not know blue

...you spelled your name Dazl.... which i hope is a attempt at creative spelling on Dazzle. Although it could be an atomic element or a deap sea creature for all i know. But still, sure, if you want to spell your name Snrkie or Sanarki there are infinite possibilities

You can save all your keybinds through menu options. I dont put reveal on a hotkey. It is used on e ar the beginning of each mission and is therefore not worth the investment. I bop onto a map and mouse over it i do buy a ton of stuff at P2W for each new alt. It varies slightly but it is mostly just a full shopping cart i do customize my chat tab. I use chatter which has Everything that real people talk on. Everything. Then i have a dedicated SG tab. Most useful is a NPC tab. This is just for NPC dialog. Extremely useful when doing content and looking for a specific NPC. When they talk (80% time they do) you know you are close. Rewards tab. Then you know what you got. Important for badges and merits etc. Auction House. Keeps that useful info separate For late game badging Zone Events are very useful to separate out as well

you will have btter luck converting 25+ to rares then converting to def, res, heal, end mod, then going for procs. leave 25- as uncommon, then same gl

What I actually just said. "I have been up sick all night. Cannot make it into work today." translation. "Deliver the stuff yourself."

It is not just game stories people dont care about. I was trying to tell my boss today why a 200,000 dollar tractor got disabled and he was like “why are you telling me this?” People just do not want to hear crap sometimes. Mostly because they are interested in what is going on with them. Your stories about your character or your tractor or whatever means little to them most of the time

Reminds me of the cocktail party in one iron man movie where War Machine is telling a fight story. Thor and the gang just looked at him after he finished the story. He was like “that story kills”. Thor was like “oh, that was the punch line? Yes hilarious!”

There is a P2W power called power analyzer. I have never bought or used it but maybe that is what you want?

I do not like weapon redraw. Therefore i rarely run any weapon sets. This is worse with fire and ice due to the constant appearing and disappearing weapon. Oh well

Smart a... alek comments are pretty much off the cuff. They seem better in real time than served up cold for examination. like hot dogs During the Minds of Mayhem trial I do regularly start a conversation when the three ladies meet Calvin Scott. "Okay ladies, lets pretend you were never married. Just pretend he was your patient. Whatever he says make him think you barely knew each other."

my favorite hero is my Dark/Dark/Soul Blaster Vampire redsider.

But at around 30 you start having enough set bonuses on a few sets to start swinging into a late game build. It is definitely the awkward tween time of the leveling experience though

I suspect it is geared similarly to reward merits for story arcs. But that is a wild, if mildly educated, guess.

I think everyone here that does not agree with me is an idiot. Please dont respond. Just say something in General and if I am interested I might read it.

i never knew it was called that. but i actively aim to make comments that hit that "sweet" spot

The complication of the invention system is arguably one of the biggest factors in why a dedicated crew still play this game. The ability to design a character from head to toe in the costume generator and then design a character intricately in a build gives a true feeling of making something special The invention system is one part game design, one part mathematical, one part I/O science, and overwhelmingly artistic. I have seen (and played) builds that I would never have created that changed my opinion of how to play the game. These are frequently published by great builders on the boards. Sometimes a kind soul with great talent will build one specifically for your goals if asked nicely. I have built (many sub perfect) builds that I enjoyed madly for months at a time. I main a Dark/Dark Blaster that is built lopsided to most Blaster theory. I enjoy it greatly. My Blaster, my style. Learn the basics. Keep in mind I/Os in general (except for a handful of uniques) will be LESS powerful as you level until about 30. This is due to lack of set bonuses and lack of general enhancement slots. When exemplaring down this is not an issue the rule of 5s. Enhancement Diversification. Why a I/O that enhances 4 attributes is more powerful than one that enhances two. Sets that get you to X build goal. A few dozen other “basics”. Once you learn all that you will be as poor a builder as I am lol. Then you can start to study the theory behind overclocking each of the various ATs and builds. Each AT tends to have different build needs. Many powersets within each AT will have very specific sweet build possibilities. Going from “I can build” to “ I made a great build” is like going from “ I made food” to “I made Thanksgiving dinner for 12 from scratch” Good luck. Most importantly have fun. Remember my main. My build, not the most perfect build, built for me to have fun. Have fun

Damn, well said. You make good word speak Galaxy Brain
