Snarky

I have mostly stopped alting. Before you reach for your rocks, pitchforks and torches hear me out. While this does mean i am not doing endless alt runs through Posi1, posi2, synapse, etc, It does mean i am doing endless ITF, LGTF, MLSF, LRSF, incarnate trials, market crash, SBB, etc. And weeklies. So, my question is. How is alting "key for this game?" Okay, now you can reach for the rocks

I would like to add to the question. How and or why are some things changed and not others that benefit some people but not others and in fact disenfranchise some players who may or may not know to speak up about it with the aforementioned changes causing distress to these (possible) unfortunate players to benefit other players who may or may not have asked for the benefit of a powerset modification in the first place.

I would love to get 1 health and .1 end per veteran level....maybe after 100? Really make it a lifetime achievement character lol.

here is a new challenge i am doing regular on my dark/dark brute. join a pug baf. when the siege portion starts go to the reinforcement spawn point immediately. start fighting there, do not leave, do not quit until team has finished trial. for my dark dark this is razors edge fun lol. if i fall i have to hit Soul Transfer FAST or I lose all the agro and my playmates race for the league. I am more useful soloing all adds than i am DPS on the bosses, due to rings. I can control the outside agro and let the league focus on primary task my point in mentioning this are there are a hundred thousand challenges awaiting you in the game if you look for them. done everything huh? do you have your ski badges? because that takes a different level of toon control lol

I seriously want the lower body ghost flowy smoke that some CoT spectres get. I also want the legless levitate tech platform the Freaks get in the new Doc Buzzsaw arc. (well, at least one Freak has it)

I really consider this a zombie thread, It has been dead for a long time but just keeps wandering around in circles waiting for someone to put it out of it's misery.

I just started using the LFG method to get to Cim. However, I have had odd experiences with people saying they are having problems inviting me. Because I am me, I always put it down to PUG incompetence 🙂 But, because I am me, now I am getting a little paranoid something is broken and it is affecting my ability to get on the TFs I want 😞

I do not play bio. On my Dark/Dark main Brute I started with Melee Hybrid. Been playing him a while lol. So I just casually T4d Hybrid Assault. Depending on the run I will either choose tanky, or if not needed, more damage. More damage is always a great option, once your build (for that particular TF, farm / Incarnate Trial ) is set to go, squeezing more damage out is the next logical step. Again, never played Bio, but the option to get a constant red inspiration going is not a bad thing....

I have shared my dark/dark build so many times I thought I might get a warning from the mods about spam. But, here ya go....

Making a very strong toon takes a month or so from scratch (if you follow advice) and a few days if you are established. (have cash, know the speed level runs etc) Incarnating a very strong toon fully, another few days tops. So a week, done with game. Hmmmm....wait a minute. Wasn't there something I was supposed to be doing? Oh, right. Playing. I started a toon in Late October, soloed all redside arcs (every single story arc. from every contact) and am now badging with them. 1050 badges of 1500. Lot of stuff left to do. But, yeah. He is 'done' as far as how powerful. I could maybe squeeze a bit more out of the build, but I am happy with how he plays I am happy with how he plays. Hmmm. Right, there ya go.

i was quoting myself lol. its the SS tank i parked. doh.

THis was my exact experience, two separate times last night in Cim. You know me, I start griping in LFG about people not wanting Brutes. Poor me! The second time I start getting tells from a person on the team that sees my LFG posts. That person becomes team leader and invites me. (I was back in AP then) I head back into CIM (via CAP, fastest at that point) Thats all I know besides the new team leader saying the first could not find or invite me. I received no tells from either of the original team leaders telling me anything

that isnt the issue. i only pug, and i never form lol. i did a khtf in between the two sets of cim problems, smooth as butter on the invite

gratz

Happened multiple times tonight. I am a 50 rogue. see msg in LFG. I use LFG port to Cim. Send a private tell and public msg to team leader. They cannot see me in team finder. another person switched and found me. I forgot, in my frustration, to ask their alignment. Was invited to a KHTF no issues. Team leaders are also not able to find others asking. So, anybody know anything?

I have the same issue with a different power. The Avalanche set, only sometimes. Squirt is the perfect word, like a stomped on ketchup packet. It is also in a "Knockdown power, like Footatomp. Cant find the toon lol. But the prob is when it procs it kicks the KB from .67 to over 1. Knockdown powers do not equal knockdown procs,

Bowing out of this topic. This is "Are all Energy Blasters Trolls?" because of knockback in a new skin. And it was clearly decided, yes, all Energy Blasters are trolls.... Seriously though, if someone knows how to use knockback they can play pool with mobs and the mitigation is superior and works on almost all mobs. If they do not know what they are doing they are going to be firing knockback (or in this case fold space) at everything and the team is going to be going ...s l o w e r There is not much we can do in threads like this other than 1) bitch. first thing I did. check. 2) mention that some people use the power well. yep, did that after i thought about it. check. talk endlessly about how 'certain people play" and "why do they do that?" Yeah, not going there. One final bitch, which harkens to my original. Most of the time (hmmm 99%?) I freaking hate any teammate that uses this around my Brute. The power seriously sucks rancid necrotic donkey balls.

Im not a farmer. but if you want more responses you should retitle Spines Fire lf advice

I really want to say something Snarky. I probably shouldn't say anything. No. Just no. Crap, not doing it. The idea of reducing down in power to match a team or Task Force is to actually match them. the game does that well. AND you are already a crapton more powerful. Rather than have a Judgement Power in a random Synapse TF you join...you have TONS more enhancers in your powers than your teammates and a GIANT inspiration tray. If you like to run a real 50 (and I do!!!) Join LGTF, RSF, MLTF, ITF, Market Crash, Level 50 door teams, AE teams needing hitteers, certain arcs that run constantly that are 45+...start your own door teams and carry some levellers....the list, while not endless,,,it is not small. Rikti muthashipraids....i will keep adding...maybe...there is a lot!

We did a saga of Faathim Sunday (saga of the sad commuter) and I got my badge. Woot! Was feeling real good about the hour and a half time. Until I saw the posted 22 minute time here. So, everyone had various Teleport and had a plan for traveling porting team to next area in a never ending chain? Even that seems short using that tactic. There are travel times after all....

Its just going to happen. I PUG non stop. I never note/rate players, I never ignore, etc. I join a team. Much like there will be a 10 year old (or ten at heart) with a new energy blaster just splashing the mobs and making teams jobs difficult there will be people taking all my victims and shuffling them 60 feet away. Much like the Tanker above, in the end, they wanted the agro. But, my Brute, he is actually always trying to help the team. Even if peeps are speeding to the goal, and he has no chance to get there, he just starts killing a room. More exp/drops for a team. Also builds agro if i get an ATT and they need help in the end room. Peeps are going to use KB to scatter mobs. Peeps are going to use this new crap power to pull mobs from working teammates. I have seen some (some, rare, few, almost no one) very good repositioning in Leagues running high end content. If you can groiup all the ranged attackers in one place I will jump in the middle. I have seen me do it.

I was on a TF recently where almost everytime I used Dark Melee Soul Drain someone snatched all my targets away. I firmly think the power sucks rancid necrotic donkey balls based on that experience alone.

I am going to kill Nemesis. Before I do I will purchase a gravesite for him. A Nemesis plot.

Heh, you definitely have to look at the long game here. This would be one of my "solo all redside" toons. Heck, i might even try the never reached summit of Blue. Stop Exp every 5 levels. This allows you to grind every story arc, the ones not in Ouro, from every contacts. Merit hoggage. also, the recipes will flow enough. Just enough. Definitely want a full build plan to not waste anything right from the go. Also, no doubt this would be a Brute for me. And i have run Brutes on SOs for a long time before I had cash (and in the crappy pre inherent fitness days....) For me, i pronounce this challenge tedious, but extremely doable.

Ran a Saga of the long commutes of Faathim last night. I hustled a lot (just regular sorcery fly unfortunately) and a lot of creative zone TPs. We got out in an hour and a half. But the reason I bring it up. In the missions where we had mobs my Nuke (Dark/Dark/Soul Brute...so Void, of course) was useful. But even against +0 was not spectacular. there were a LOT of tough Bosses in those mobs. They took the Nuke on the chin and were like, okay, when you going to get serious? I was the only Brute or Tank in the team, and Dark does not handle agro right. I used the Nuke as a taunt....
