Snarky

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

Everlasting PUG Synapse last night 1:07. Good times

Rogues are varied. In fact Villains (and yes they are bad Bad BAD) are not one size fits all Many villains do not set out to be bad just for it’s own sake. Their motivation can sometimes be singular, nearly always pursued with complete disregard for others and usually a train wreck of tragedy. But that does not mean they set out to be bad. Some are straight up seeking world domination and/or destruction it is true Rogues are even more complex than villains. Generally not bent on world destruction or even a single minded focus that gets people killed en masse. Yet they are everything from armed robbers who will shoot guards to scientists seeking to create the perfect X without care for environmental impacts Heros...yeah Blue Shield beating down a teen and creating Clockwork King? Vigilantes. That is a fun take on villains. Is Dexter a Vigilante or a Villain? the conversation is deep waters

Why do people keep posting here? Everytime someone posts it makes the conversation seem new and... nvm

Werent they from that TV show Sha Na Na?

I solo’d Prae on a few. Rutes when it first came out. I am very good with Brutes. It was not easy and a couple of the missions challenged me pretty hard which is unusual when i am soloing. But the mechanics of one vs an endless wave is never good. And u think there is a tv station mission which is all but impossible on a Brute unless played just perfect due to spawn size and chain agro. Been many years so memory is not perfect. But it made my Brutes feel like Blasters.

I agree with this and i am taking the rwo AoE melee on my crab for theme reasons. They are niche useful not anything to write home about. They really fit my theme and i think (hopefully) i can mule a set bonus or two in them

I like the sounds. The last attack where the toon inexplicably puts both hands in the air and then rotates them in a huge circle? Wtf

You sort of typed out the answer. Look at each issue that added the content you mention and your answer is revealed. Paragon Wiki

Bring back bridging!!!!

Yeah most of us did the Q this week. I hit it Sunday midmorning. I think we finished midnight. No not really it was 3.5 hours though. We killed a lot we didnt need to but it was pretty chill. I was on my main SS/Invul Brute. We TPd to nearly every door but man did we grind. I got over two vet levels from it lol. Someone else who wasnt quite 50 yet got 5.5 and at least one person 50d but to the topic. Yep i got zapped a couple times too. But on a SS you learn to be regularly somewhat useless. Take the time to combine inspirations check the map look at the time drink coffee wonder what design to put on crypt. The big questions. Oh wait we are fighting again! i think break frees work? Never had one to try and it wasnt a big deal to me. They were just slightly postponing their doom. The lowest my health got was 70%. I hit my invul dull pain once More out if boredom than need i will not be doing that task force many more times in my life. Unless they triple the rewards

Be the Backpack! So i have not run a SoA since they first came out and everyone 50d one or two. Last few days the backpack fever hit quick leveled one to 29 and then ran a Citadel. Thus will be a good alt for me for weekly TFs the build i am going for is the one i enjoy the most. I know from reading all the posts that Crabbermind is the Win. Not my thing i will be building with all backpack powers except the ST melee strike. I Brute a lot and i like trashing something with the wicked claw arms when it gets in close i will be taking almost all soldier and crab powers. There us not much in the build left for anything else i will not be taking patron pools to get pets or even the fighting pool i would love some advice on building this odd duck. What are the sets that make the positional defenses work best while increasing resistance? what is the res cap? I will be taking the heal as well as the Omega and if course spiderlings. I an not pushing pets but that is just a one pick free damage rather than change whole build thanks
