Snarky

It's funny. If I were to hit one of the big lottery jackpots...you know 1/2 billion USD I would buy a mansion. Couple cars. Would I want my own server for CoH? Nope. Might volunteer to donate stuff to the current Dev team. Even if money could pry the rights away from certain people, I would want a team....pretty much exactly like the team we have running things. Mostly low key, conservative, thoughtful decisions and changes. Although changing Invulnerability's T9 crash and fixing SS Rage would be great to see.

The greater connection between Clamor and Countess Crey is that Crey Industries produce Excelsior. This is the drug the Freakshow use (and abuse) that allows them to bolt things onto their bodies originally stolen from Crey. But now???

Any very tough Brute or Tank can do what you ask here. But your first post said 'best' Now, Farming is like racing? What track are you on? a F! is probably the best. Unless you are dirt racing, then it is not so good. Most Farming is done on Fire Farms. Mobs deal Fire damage and are susceptible to most notmal attacks. Pick your farm wisely. So Fire Armor givves great fire protection and is the highest damaging armors. We are going down the rabbit hole fast. Check the link above for more info.

Personally I like a Rad/Fire Brute. I/O'd to the gills of course. But I do not like farming. Also, you left out if you were AFK farming, or Fire Farming, etc...

Thanks now I have the Full Metal Jacket scene "THis is my rifle, this is my gun" scene stuck in my head.

Updates from the front...errr bottom.... in Help "I am 50 vet 100 but have never done a DFB, what do I do?" Me: "Run a DFB" A few sweet comments on living up to my name later I invite the 50 to Atlas and organize a badge run. I never organize. I never give instructions. I gave instructions. I put in every AD "badge run" in CAPS!!!! Instructions "We have two people here that never run this. This is a badge run. There is one boss where you cannot kill minions. only boss, single target attacks. I will pull" A few other people gave more explicit instructions about AoE and such. I always pull this boss. i get bored down there. At the boss I race ahead. Someone has already cleaned the bombs....I already am like hmmm. I pull the boss when she emerges with a long blast. as usual. She starts to me. then hares off to the far back of the room. We got the badge. But seriously. is it that F-ing hard to read two sentences? Is it that hard to follow instructions on a F-ing DFB? How you people (and i especially mean Oklahoman and Confusion, but everyone who attempts badges on hard content) do this I do not know. I was ready to reach through the comp and drain the blood out of their worthless body with the power of sheer hate,

*facepalm the Blaster i was on is T4d across the board Incarnate, i/o’d with Purples everywhere, as well as a ton of other good stuff. He has all his accolades. Unfortunately I do not have the skill necessary to solo a TinPex on a Blaster. So without a team i avoid them

You have chosen poorly

i was flabbergasted. Finally I was like "You are going into that room eventually" Which got me a couple props for my name in team chat. *pats self on back.

I am rolling two squishies right now. Dark/Dark Blaster and Dark/Dark Corruptor. The Corruptor is by far the more interesting. It has grand debuffs, soft controls (fear and stun, tar patch), team heals, good damage. Still I prefer the raw damage of Blaster. Dark/Dark Blaster is harder to run, but does significantly more damage. It is happiest very close to the action where it can bop in to charge up Soul Drain and use T9 Nuke. This adds a couple seconds to the Nuke Phase where you can get taken the F out. But when it works....OMFG. It is nice. A saturated Soul Drain is a Happy Happy thing. Then you bop out to 30-50 range and either ST chain the baddie or drop into 4 cones (Dark/Dark/Soul) for a withering AoE torrent that does not stop.

Without going full rainbow. (No offense to the Captain Fabulous icon your are rockin') a very simple solution is to choose Bright Invulnerability with White/White. This creates a Shiny Invulnerability set worthy of the noblest Paladin. Blech.

You joined during the only technical hiccup I can recall on Homecoming. So what I am saying is you brought the bad luck with you! Still, even though you bring us a curse, we welcome you. That is what villains do. If you are social there are some very serious, ranging to very casual, SGs to be found. The message boards for individual servers are a great place to look for that. I played for about half the life of CoX live. I can say that Homecoming has the best of the CoX experience from there. It also has some of the hilarity of one of the big servers with crazy stuff happening. I play on Excelsior and to me, it seems, there is a rather steady influx of newer players who seem amazed you can do simple things like pull the AV from DFB off the bridge to the tunnel and get the badge 3x easier. To me this indicates they have not seen a lot of the tricks veterans use to get stuff done. I am a "B" grade player copying off "A" students papers. Still, it amazes me when no one seems to know these tricks. Have fun and enjoy yourself. You will find the game is very solid under the current management. There are the big QoL improvements you have noticed. there is also a fair amount of tweaking powersets and even ATs to unscrew some of the original DEV teams peculiar building choices.

yes, i stayed through the 2nd TF. I really try not to leave crap I join. Plus, one part of me had already decided to write about this lol. I was honestly amazed the two AVs and the two giant bots at the end of the second dropped pretty fast. Only 2 deaths there I think. One was me. Sigh. It was a rough night.

the add was for the second TF of the tin pex

PUGs hurt, PUGs scars PUGs wounds and marks Any heart Not tough or strong enough To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain PUGs are like a cloud Holds a lot of rain PUGs hurt Ooh, ooh PUGs hurt Joined a TinPex. It was a rough start. Not real fast. I'm on a Blaster. We got a Tank. i immediately put a waypoint on them so I know my safe zone. They are not really heading deep into the mix very fast though. I take one death clearing robots. We get to the tunnels. Head into the first Pylon room. Crowd of tentacles. No Tank. After a long minute I am like "Where is the Tank?" "Clearing the mess you left" Aw shit. The Tank is running it as a kill all/kill most. sigh. okay. Quite a few deaths racked up before we even clear the first two pylons. Turns out the organizer (a stalker) did not have their Alpha slotted. Someone quit. We ran that as 7, finished. It was not pretty. i will give the Tank this, they did a dam fine job with Battle Maiden. Stubborn that Tank. We recruited an 8th and finished the seciond half. It was real similar to the first half. We got through it. Ooh, ooh PUGs hurt....

Best wishes on your new endeavor. If it doesnt work out you can always join me on my backup backup plan. Creative Diamond reacquisitions

Lol. That was actually part of my motivation. I started thinking of the words and time i put in on the boards and was like....if you put that into the book...and so far 500 a day feels easy. I will keep this goal for a week or two and see if i want to increase the minimum per day

I have started writing again. My goal is 500+ words a day. Which is not huge until you realize I have been writing 0 words a day and thinking i am "working on" a book. Putting all those ideas to paper is generating more ideas....and actually writing lol. How about you?

now i want to see a granite race. sort of. yawnfest. but definitely just to be able to say "i have seen a granite race" is there a badge for that?

I do not make character notes much. And always forget to look to see if someone has a note. But if you invite me to a Khan then insist on running it at +4 you will get such a note. Stupid is not the word. It is not stupid enough.

I have a Dark/Dark I ran for quite a while as a main. I like the Dark/Dark because Dark Melee stacks more to hit debuffs and the End Rec power can be very welcome. Also, great build up buff.

It would during some of the incarnate trial cutscenes...

Well, just like being a mass murderer everyone starts trying to get that first one. The only AV I have even tried to solo was the first tree of thorns respec AV some months ago. at +0 I was able to accomplish this. I did use envenomed daggers and a lot of temp pets. I was going for the badge not the bragging rights. I still owe the original Positron EB at the end an ass whooping. Everyone abandoned the TF and left my poor Energy Blaster alone. I still have horrid memories.

well. what you do is find an AV. Then, you attack it. successfully killing it hopefully. m'kay?
