Snarky

Yeah i quit another one tonight unfortunately. I really wanted the badge on a lvl 20-25 redside tf. But it was set at +4 with no mention. I tried for half a mission. But CoT at +4? We were getting nowhere. It wasnt even a rage quit. I just sighed and turned off the comp. Did a ITF later on my main. Lot of lowbies so we cleared it Oldschool style. I am okay with that. Just not getting dumped into an impossible TF with no notice that it is dialed to FU. Did a lot of crafting when i logged back on. About 65 enhancers converted using the merits from the 7 Synapses i ran last week lol. Cash is good. Why are people making the TFs impossible?

Save the game? Looks around. So my game was dead for years. Now i play every day with any TF or team rolling like a non-stop train. I put a list of 6 oddball TFs i needed for my badger. Knocked out 3 in 2 days just responded to LFG ads. Have been running endless Synapses this week or would prob have them all done. Zero organizing on my oart. Just going with the flow. save the game? My game has been saved. I am grateful for the 1337 geeks who have saved it and are working HARD to ensure we have a future. save the game? Really? I’m too old for this crap.

A big old SS/Invul Brute that i re-rolled literally countless times. My current main and highest level is a SS/Invul Brute Rogue with 50 vet levels. Oh yeah. It was right from the first swing at the prison door breaking out of the Zig. I wish we could still start characters there and have the constant stream out of the perfectly named Fort Darwin. How many times did we run across Mercy to team at the infected warehouse and get our first couple levels?

Okay. I saw someone post about “solving naming”. Taps fingers on table. Can anyone say anything that sounds vaguely like a plan on how to do this? Because just saying “do this” does not mean there is a plan or that it is possible. I could say the human race just needs to use a beam to directly tap the suns power. Okay. Sounds great. Universal unlimited power. I am just sure someone might mention there is not only no current way to do it but that it seems like a perpetual motion machine story that is in effect impossible

I take a slightly different bend on things. I have always alted a lot. This has many impacts. One is it is hard for me to earn since i run 50s for a very small part of my playtime. On live that meant i had a trove of enhancers that could kit out at most 3 alts fully blinged. Soooo. I deleted a LOT of 50s on live after a month or two of running. To strip the enhancers with free vet respecs on Homecoming i delete a lot because my mind gets cluttered as my character warehouse if i don’t the big winner? Snarky! Of course. Originally a ss/will brute villain. With a build created by Hyperstrike he is now a SS/Invul Brute Rogue. And wayyy tougher. Builds that i will probably 50 kit out and leave (plans change) are currently Dark/Time Blaster. I always wanted a ranged Redsider I tried so many things and was never satisfied. I am relatively happy with Dark/Time Hoverblasting my old Grav/NrG Dom Robot is making a comeback. I ran him as a permadom before the Dom changes. He was too expensive to not destroy with all those purple sets after a couple months lol. Now it looks like he will grind on

Weird. I will need to re download pines. Sigh. Thanks. I have been shifting things around a bit. Squeezed on a Armageddon in Consume and moved Brutes Fury ti Blazing Aura, Avalanche to Shadow Maul and Unrel Fury to Burn. Stuck a Fury Glad in Dark Consump. Shield walk in manuevers and replaced res sets with unbreakable guards. And now i find out my program is not registering right lol. This is why i dint build. also. Does Panacea have goid effect in PvE? I cant tell from mids or the description. Some use it on high end builds in Health and some dont. I did like the Kismet slottingin weave. Very nice shoehorn work

Thank you. Although i only see 80.8% s/l resist. This is definitely the direction i am headed. Really nice because it is similar oerformance to the one i already downloaded and yet completely different way to get there. So now i have ideas lol

I have been looking through the forums all the way back for ideas on how to i/o my current obsession: Resist Armor builds i have been experimenting with Rad/Rad Dark/Elec and Dark/Fire. I am falling out of love with Rad Melee. Okay i never loved it. Dark is as always a solid performer i have settled into the Dark/Fire. The thing is that build is very rare on the posts. There are a couple nice Rad/Fire builds that can be tweaked Most of the Builds (especially Fire) are farm fresh. I want a PvE TF and late game build with High Resists across the board. I am not interested in chasing Def because i will spend a fortune on it and some Roman soldiers will eat it in the first volley. High resists and good heals while keeping a weather eye on the combat will keep the thing up. Oh and i will be taking Rise of th Phoenix . Thematically it works. And we all know this is going to floor plant regularly i have been paring down my alts again abd running tons of Synapses so literally any build is within my reach. Just not great at efficiently using slots lol

No it still works. You get it and then you can open an Ouro portal. Very useful

So. Good news. I followed some in thread advice and created a character on another server. Afterward i could creat characters like normal again. Any character created during the glitch (new ones i immediately did not play do to difficulty with costume) are locked into crabby and will be deleted thank you all for your assistance. I knew gamers could figure it out. Well, this group of gamers anyway

...the scary part is i do not believe you are trolling here... you are quite correct. There was a misunderstanding. Thank you

I will try making a character on another server. Unfortunately as i understand it the Crab backpack is permalunked to the Crab unless you respec them to no crab powers. So that idea does not seem functional i wish the Request i had sent was read. But it was pretty obviously just ignored and autoreplied. I wrote a very short clear description of the problem. And got a boilerplate response to a different question. i will try this and any other ideas you guys come up with. Orher than that i will be deleting crab completely. If that doesnt work i might go back to WoW for awhile. Costume creator and character design arr a large part of why i play CoH

Once you go 8 legs you never go back?

Done this three times

I have rebooted the computer. No fix. What do you mean delete and redownload. Do you mean the entire game download? i suspect, with zero evidence beyond what i have stated above, that this may have to do with the fancy hard drive that is the fixed memory type for speed. Most of my game resides on that as i understand. The game was never coded nor tested for being loaded into memory addresses permanently and i believe (no evidence) this is giving it a bit of crazy looking stuff like holding onto items from one character for another and thinking you are still teaming with someone and seeing their base option at the SG entrance months later

So i made a SoA Crab a few says ago. I kind of like it for the concept and have been tinkering with a possible build i alt a lot. So i have tried to make new characters since then. Non SoA. The only Backpack they can have is Crab i sent a request explaining this concisely. I got an e-mail from Help saying that is not a bug but a feature sooo. Anyone need a Brute with a Crab Backpack? seriously though. Do i just delete the SoA and hope that solves the issue? I had leveled them pretty high already because i liked them also this may not solve the issue. I have noticed the game has weird memory cache problems. Every time i enter my base there is an option to enter someones base that i teamed with 3 months ago. Wont go away. When i alt to a new character from my toon with experience shut off that is the new characters setting as well. So dropping the SoA off of a cliff may not work. without any assistance I am probably going to delete the SoA tonight and sell off the SoA ATOs i bought. any thoughts on hiw to solve this would be great. Thanks

Sooo. Much like i said i spent the morning crafting enhancers converting and selling (58). Then i did a little story arc grinding (i need to hit that harder) and then after my workout i logged onto a languishing 20 to maybe pick up a Synapse. And immediately saw a post for a free farm. That ran a while and then one of the being PLd in there offered to do a huge farm. Sooo. Now level 39. I soent another hour spending most of the money i made off enhancers and raiding my base outfitting my new character. Had time to run one mission after respec then hit the sack. Huge free farms on Everlasting. Not guaranteed but neither is sunshine. And then it happens pretty regularly i could see this being a valid topic if the playerbase was a lot different. In my opinion it is just a kind of odd discussion based on stuff that is not really either happening or causing issues. At least not on Everlasting. And i am on that server a LOT

I have the character at 39 now and just did the first major respec. Threw on about 2/3 of its final i/o build. I am liking it. I made the toon. Very weird and the wavy arm thing is just hilariously stupid. Then the race car noises and a crapton of damage. when i say weird i mean weird. I took a robot using almost the bulkiest pieces i could find. I put a brain in a jar head on it. I used the Large Body build and then made it as wide as possible in every slider. Then i made it as short as possible on every slider. Oh, it looks odd. Then having it doing its wavy arm madness and knocking enemies down everywhere. Very nice. Of course i proc’d the cone to KD. Threw a lot of winter and brute sets along with unbreakabke guard a 6set Aegis. All the usual procs and globals. Cost a ton (raided my base and spent everything i earned from 3 synapses lol). I can see at 50 its going to be a beast. Glad to add it to my stable of odd toons. But i could never take KM on a regular Brute. Maybe in some weird CoT ripoff melee mage

Why? Are we really that bored? I’m gonna go craft enhancers. Make a ton of Inf. Run storylines on a experience nerfed toon. Then maybe tonight have someone PL a new alt i havent even thought of yet. Without advertising. Or paying. Because that is just how we roll on Everlasting-Homecoming. Cheers

CoX powers are more customizable than i have seen. My opinion as i am not a player of every video game the “wall” that you hit in doing this is that you are in a videogame. In a storytelling environment you can have a fully functioning character that does jack squat for weeks of interesting gameplay storytelling then drops a nuke once. Then goes back to being an interesting oddball who doesnt do much. This is not true in most gaming sessions clearing content. Roleplay is a distant tenth or thirtieth behind functionality competence knowledge luck speed and a bunch of other crap so you can take Archetype Squishy. Gimp or not take most of the good stuff for concept reasons. Drop armor i/o on until you run out of room. There. You made your dream. Please do not bring it to a speed ITF. Or even a Posi if everyone is not aware and onboard that your character is a basket case But (for a videogame) due to the sheer number of costumes archetypes powersets power choices and the i/o choices we have fully customizable toons. For a videogame.

I have gold. I will give it to you to PL me. Real gold like from the earth. What hole in the computer do i shove it in to get my fiddy?

Uh. I started on Liberty back on live. I did not even realize it was a dead server. Redside to boot i migrated to Freedumb and was invited to a neat community on Virtue named Brickhouse i abandoned a huge base i had been working 6 months to build on Liberty i spent a year on Freedumb. i left a smaller base there look. Server transfers are free. If you dont like where you are i suggest you look at may e Everlasting my main complaint about Everlasting is when i see a post for a team or TF if i dont jump FAST i will miss getting a spot! Should the Devs step in and put in a mechanic to split pooulations or slow team building? Or do we just figure out how to make it work? (When i start badging in earnest i may even have to lead teams. Grrrr)

This is almost exactly the build i am looking for. EXCEPT i need to crank it by into a short range AoE build. Which should be somewhat easy considering that is what Crabs do. I will be putting on the expensive winter sets and really anything that will make it more effective. I will be cutting back the melee madness and going back to buff powers and range

I like rollercoasters. I think it is unfair that ither people get ti ride them without byilding their own. I mean i didnt exactly build my own all by myself. But i feel like i did. And that is what counts make other people build their own rollercoasters

I am going to disagree. I am not sure about true Comic Books. I havent read anything smaller than the trade graphics in a very long time. But those all reflect a depth that is pretty incredible. Sin City for instance. Not a black and white character group. Even the Campy old Batman movies with Schwarzennegger Clooney and Thurman had some depth. Okay not a lot but some. The Punisher movie with Travolta as a villain? That portrayal was not a villain. Pure Vigilante. These are my opinions of course
