Snarky

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?

I am Snarky enough without additives

Wait? Didnt we already cover Sentinels do crap damage in the flame war section of this thread? Damn i hate the circular nature of these conversations

This is a horrid deviation from the current state of affairs to perform a “fix” for a relatively new AT that has not received a tuning. Why would you change the entire “normal” for everyone to “possibly” find the “perfect fix” for this situation. Nurse Ratchet, bring me my mallet, I must anesthetize the patient!!

So many things in this game are all or nothing. If your try to turn Sentinels into a class with agro management powers.... in my opinion you are adding complexity and mediocrity instead of simplifying and adding excellence.

I did not start this thread because I dislike Sentinels. No, not even close. I love the concept of Sentinels. i ran Brutes for years rather than Blasters because I prefer toughness to outright damage. Having said that. (and without data mining DPS calculations until I could write a college research paper on it.) Sentinel get seriously shorted on the doing damage end. As a AT with a secondary armor set the most logical comparisons to doing damage would be Tanks, Brutes, Scrappers, Stalkers. Based on health, resistance caps and other factors you might logically assume their damage fell somewhere between Brutes and Scrappers. You would be wrong. Very very wrong. One strange but simple fix (which might be impossible) is to make every Sentinel attack ranged, nukes and all. This game deals out far less damage at range than it does at melee and that would provide a very different way to balance the AT. Yes, you do far less damage than a Scrapper. But you can sit at 80 range and pour out non stop damage in a Really Hard Way attempt (or other combat) and therefore have very consistent damage potential to bring to the team. A slight bump in the damage Scalar (which I have argued previously would not be enough) in combination with this change would (in my eyes) balance the AT and create something unique. and playable. There are many possible tweaks to the AT but the point of the thread is that it is long past time to go from saying "something should be done" to "doing something"

okay. i am ready. now.

AAAAAGH. Shows 3 servers up....then hangs........nerd rage

_O/ I / I There. i made a low tech costume.

and why can't we get Mr Incredible's version of Super Strength? Does he have 'rage crashes?" No! No he doesnt.... wrong thread.

I'd kill to play a Sentinel right now. Give me the game back lol. Even thought of one. A theme actually, would love to see (be part of) an army of space marines. Beam Rifle Invulnerability with very similar costumes....

i do not feel right

I would be gone if you typed “ride” reading it as a question rather than a statement. I also dont know why i would assume that

I have a decent first chapter on a vampire story about my main. I am not bad at origin stories. Longer plot lines are seriously more challenging for me. I need to losten to people like Neil Gaimen and just write. Then fix everything in the rewrite and act like i planned it all lol

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Teleport. lol. Practice, practice, practice. Most of us have this crap memorized. We also use tens of millions of inf of P2W perma powers on each new alt. Mission TP, Team TP, Base TP, flight powers, etc. Say you go on a Posi 1, 2, or Synapse with me. I PUG these regularly. I know exactly which missions will be in which zones and what general (sometimes specific) area off the map they will be in. As the last mission is finishing up I am in the process of choosing the best option to vget to the next while reserving long cooldown TP for the hardest to get to missions in the TF. AND I am a "B" class player in terms of speed. On a hot team I am usually the last or next to last player to get there. (I use FLY on everything, part of the issue.) People are just insanely practiced at this game now. On TFs I do not have memorized I am an average to above average player at getting there fast. Compared to live we are shaving big minutes off each mission start on every Task Force and random door Team run. That is new new normal. Do not beat yourself up. Do what works for you. Oh, and if someone says TT hang out. Theres your ticket.

as far as regular activities in my life i work 40 hours+ a week usually. (12 yesterday) lift 3 times a week (put a squat rack and bench in my place) and play CoH. i should write and practice guitar. rarely I do. Now I am down to working and working out. There is way too much work in that balance lol. Too early to be this dramatic?

Crap. I may need to actually start writing on my novel. Cruel cruel world.
