Snarky

The game carefully looks over the team If everyone is deemed worthy a reasonable door is selected. If however someone is not worthy the furthest door possible is selected. I bave been on some Citadels where there were very unworthy teammates (it obviously wasnt me). And we had miles of commutes every mission

I like this. My altitis would round breathing hard and hit hyperventilate

If...(really big if)... the Homecoming team started dropping inf on toons for per hour in game ( because RP under the guy with one huge ball is valid activity) the Auction prices on everything would skyrocket.

Gerswin. Not sure whether to be impressed or scared. I know i am not a really good player. But really. I am still turning on the engine and you are running the victory lap 😆

I could 50 and build once a week, going through most of a billion to do it. I don't I alt too much, partly because I don't have the cash ready. (I play more than earn) But...I am doing it about every two weeks. Also, my base is now filled with odd ATOs and partial purple sets and other random sets. so it is getting harder to judge. Maybe a billion or two in there? I may look at that thread on makling a billion in 24 hours. Then I guess I start selling ECs on market again? I am dreadfully tired of clicking lol.

I learned the game on Brutes in ROFLSTOMP teams (on better days, FUGLY other days) I have a Tank I use as a badger, Invul/Dark. vet level 13 with 600 badges, full buildout. I probably do not Tank well enough to meet your standards. It is just a toon I rolled as a concept and liked. Zombie Tank. He is fun, and I run him as a very heavy Brute (I run heavy Brutes, lot of Invul) But my Brutes have no taunt. I spam Taunt on the Tank. I try to keep my team safe. I still mostly suck playing Brutes, so I am guessing that did not get better switching to a more specific job AT. But I have fun. When I go in the right direction my teams even do pretty good.

So, I find myself wanting a useful ATO. It is either super expensive or out of stock. Love Homecoming, gotta say. I window shop. Find one a few million cheaper in an off brand. Convert convert convert. polish that thing until it rolls right into what I need. I never buy converters. I am addicted to TF so merits are a given in my life. Try to charge me top dollar on an enhancer....I will buy 3 off brands, convert and dump them on your market. I make a little money off that too. 🙂 So convert away, sounds like you have a full set for your ATO just waiting for a little magic.

was listening to NPR today (I am a semi driver and was on a 100 down 100 mile back run) There was a couple "exotic Dancers" talking about legal issues with their profession. Made some good points. Of course what stood out was them talking about how difficult it is to "sparkle" for 8 hour shifts surrounded by power drinkers. And really that's why I cant make money at it. No sparkle.

I play on Everlasting. Of course all the servers have a great community. It is Homecoming after all in another of my endless alt experiments i have been working on various war mace toons. Could not quite match weapon and costume. last night i spent nearly an hour in creator switching things around, seeing if things looked better on large body or regular. Fussing over clipping. Really getting it 98% percent perfect and letting the 2% go as unobtainable. Which is a struggle with my OCD i log into Atlas park. “Great Costume”. Private tell from random player winning a costume contest is great. But the feeling that gave me was definitely worth the hour I spent Did some PI farm and then a Yin. Now in mid twenties. War Mace/Invul magic Brute. Going to be a keeper

Have you tried doing the catgutl thing in Pocket D. Thats where the real money is. Er. I mean. Thats what i hear

I play a LOT of 1-30 characters. I like it. Dont fully understand why and it does not matter for this topic The numbers posted seem reasonable. I am broke when i play my normal manner. But i learned to turn those Enhancement Converters to good use through forum advice. Crafting is tome consuming. But i feel i am at least giving back throwing 100 procs on the market. And getting paid I live TFs. I hate farming. Cannot say why. I will step in on a 50 in someone elses farm or PI radio missions. Decent earning and i like it i (rarely) do some auctioneering. Usually when forced. I want enhancer 1A. But it is 2x more expensive than 1B-E. I Buy 1-5 B-aE. Convert. Keep some sell rest at markup, but still on low end of selling price. I am good at this. I dont particularly like spending my gaming time doing it. i prefer to make alts and run TFs. I dont form them and i get cranky if people do them super stupid. Stupid i can suffer through. Super stupid? Yeah. I need to start leading. Sigh. But that is what i enjoy. So i have merits. Lots and lots of merits. And when i run 50s. (More common now that i am badging). I get purples and PvE recipes. That i kepp in my base like a hoarding dragon. Does nothing to help with cash. Sigh. Back to crafting lowbie procs lol what i am saying is your numbers may be a lerfect analyzation of the income disparity. But it completely ignores why we play. Some to run lowbies. Some to farm. Some to marketeer. And everyone is rewarded with what they like. Or they change a bit. Usually with good advice from the folks in tbe forum or in Help if they ask

Howard the Duck. I still remember being one of the only white kids in an El Paso Jr High School and discovering this gem at the local store. The influence to embrace the different and roll with it was priceless. Nice to see him in Avengers

I recently 50'd a Kinetic Melee Tank. Tank Mage. Can stay at about range 40 and be nearly as effective as right on the mob. Animations are....odd, so I made it a wizard. Tank Mage.

Nyet Nein Non Oh Hell No. Take your hand off the nerf bat, and no one gets hurt. Building a toon to survive the constant Alphas gets you that reward. Invul Armor has no damage aura, but lets you do this, usually, if you build right. Try it on Fire Armor every spawn. Good thing you got the Rez power.

alternate animations for ice melee with no sword (fire too) did I mention I hate weapons. one reason why is disappearing, reappearing, disappearing. make up my mind. Just a simple ice punch IS IT REALLY THAT HARD???? thanks.

I started with Brutes. Half my fully built toons are Brutes. My first fully built toon on live and Homecoming: Brute. Which means I am probably wrong, cause Brute players are just....yeah. But rather than get into a My Cousin Vinny list of what makes me qualified. 🙂 I run Brutes. The recent change was welcome. No one likes getting their top damage capped lowered, but the Fury tweak was needed. The nerf bat swung too hard back on live that last time. This pushes it enough back to at least make an argument it is correct. As has been pointed out, no one can come to agreement if they are overpowered or underpowered. 'nuff said. Brutes Tank well, IF YOU BUILD FOR THAT. It is not automatic. The things are very easy to screw up, and with effort can be made into damage aura killing machines (that are only uber tough in one little farm map) and when building that way tend to have holes in a lot of places if you try to run TFs and Incarnate content. I have a built out Tank, Invul/Dark. My first built out Brute. SS/Invul. Hands down the Tank is, well, tankier. The Brute (1 billion inf build courtesy Hyperstrike) is nigh unkillable. But I notice the difference in high end content. But I get irritated with not doing enough damage on the Tank and end up back on my Brutes (Tank is my badger, so on it a lot) Brutes are that sweet spot of super tough and really good damage. The sweet spot. Scrappers will always be jealous, and Tanks will always wish Brutes would fall off the face of Paragon. But, someone has to be in the sweet spot. I hated the nerf bat on live with Fury change, but it was the right thing to do. Scrappers deserve that, and it realigned things pretty good. Glad the Homecoming team found a way to tweak that change and smooth it out. Tanks can build to do damage, but they are not as flexible as Brutes for it. Scrappers can be righteously tough, but they cannot get as tough as Brutes. Brutes can build to come close to either Tanks or Scrappers depending on how you push it. But never quite as Tanky, never quite as much damage. Still, it is a very sweet spot. I love Super Strength. Conceptually as well as graphically. They did a pretty good job with it. so....Rage. I have learned to deal with the Rage crash like a pro. I eat inspirations, combine them, drop judgement power, use Alignment power, sands of mu. Grrrrr, IT SUCKS. Its going through a race track at 200 miles an hour and having to do a pit stop every 2 laps. Not sure how to approach suggesting a change. It.... I love SS, it fits a lot of my concepts. I have ONE SS build out. I am currently experimenting with Energy Melee on a Willpower Brute. Just SMASH. SMASH. What I love about Brutes. Forget scrapper lock. I plop open the map, pick a hall and run down it. Worried about the Alpha? Heh. I am BRINGING THE ALPHA. I know time is limited for DEVs to work a thousand different projects. Super Strength RAGE could use a gentle thoughtful revamp. (which will piss off everyone who doesn't play it....and bring in more SS players) Stone Armor. give it some F-ing love. At least let the fools get up on curbs. something. Also, does the outfit have to happen? Really? Early armor, no love. Bio Armor. Havent played it. FUGLY. See Stone Armor. Really, it has to creep up on my costume? Cause I could use it on undead....nope. ruins concept. Newest armor, oldest problem. Energy Melee. It is a decent set. I am having fun with it. I never played it before they nerfed it 200 years ago. But seriously. maybe a little splash AoE, something....? More Non weapon sets. It is a Super powered game. Glad we can have Thor and Thundarr and Cap. But....lot of Supers use their...well...super powers instead of sticks. better interface for area of effect non target AoE. (like TP attacks) One of the resons I don't run these things is in modern combat I cant find my mouse much less target the floor. affects my decision not to run ice blasters as well (that I otherwise love) Once you get past 30 or so and the teams graphics are crazy you cant accurately land these things. so....useless. and that kills a whole set. any chance of a native to the GUI fix so that the power doesn't take a hacker to land the thing? and a thousand other ideas. you asked. But seriously, if I could only run one character in the game, it would be a Brute. Just an all around easy way to rumble through the night and enjoy smashing stuff for inf. Thanks Homecoming team!

Its been a long time since i ran a high end dom. I have picked at a few since we have been back. For now it is backburner

Is this so no one can see the struggle to get over the cable lying on the floor or the convoluted process to get up onto a curb?

Spitballing some ideas for an Energy Will. softcap s/l def, high S/L res. then....meh... I know this can be improved. Any ideas?

yeah i loved stone armor on my Brute until 32. Big old Demon with gnarly feet and hellfire armor. Still my favorite look for. Demon character in this game. Then. Something bad happened lol I tend to run Robots snd Undead theme. Bio is not a winner for either of those. To me if speaks to the post apocalyptic mutant genre from some smashed Boomtown world. Or maybe the TROMA superhero. The Toxic Avenger! I just dont run in those concepts much. Maybe i should branch out more. Give me a few more decades puttering around with my robots and undead. Maybe i will get there. i just chalk this armor into the rather large heap of things that do not normally work with these concepts. Water Blast was same. I am like really cool work. Ah crap, i got nothing that goes there

I seem to recall messing with it in Costume Creator and still not liking 'minimal' might be because what was posted in the thread about some powers still growing crap off you with minimal on. Cant remember. After leveling a Stone armor to 32 back in the day, loving the costume, just to have it get shit-canned by the game I am not investing in that again.

I honestly cannot figure out why, after Stone, they made another armor set with hard baked costume pieces. Okay more soft baked but it is still always part of the character. other than that i would be willing to try it. But i have to come up with a concept that starts at Bio Armor. ....still waiting.... and to me that is why it sucks

I, like so many of us, second the gratitude to those who have worked to make this possible. This game, being amongst you players, reminds me of the feeling of being at a Comic Con or Game Con. You just know whoever you talk to is going to be okay with the oddities that make up your creative process Thank you so much to the Meta Geeks, Uber 1337s, and Super Supporters who have put this together and fight to keep a place for this community to exist in

I have never gotten CoT 3 on my huge characters. As stated, the costume creator is not about equality. I use CoT on a lot of my undead. And CoT 3 is not just sticky out bits but a shoulder capelt that is unusual to find as an option anywhere. If I want someone to have it and be huge I go to Male and start cranking the slider to stupid big lol

and that is why I threw out Any attack/Willpower Brute. with leadership toggles and taunt. It is the bar-none easiest AT and armor set in that AT, and it has sick amounts of endurance available. It can help a team....just run up to anything hit, taunt, hit hit hit, taunt Then having ALL THREE leadership toggles going, and still being like la dee dah. In fact....I now go to create this beast. Why you make me alt?
