Snarky

Really enjoying my Invul/Dark Zombie tank soloing every arc and mission Redside at +0/x1. Who has that statement “if you want to feel like a God rill anything, if you want to be a God roll a Tank”. i ‘stealth’ missions by wandering through ignoring getting pummeled. Unless there is a Fortunata or something. Then i pause to kill everyone. Mostly i am like the colonel in apocalypse now standing in the cowboy hat ignoring all the shells hitting. Just looking around deciding what to do it would be nice to get a Damage buff and the better AoE would really help Dark Melee. i think Tankers deserve a little love. I am mostly a Brute player with a Tank mentality. I went ti. Rutes because i started Redside. The Brute nerf was deserved and Brutes Scrappers are balanced now. Even though i miss Fury cap. But Tanks are still a little behind the curve. But so are Blasters and the are in the edges most damage and toughest. Si weird things tend to happen there. Like stone armor. The very edge. Very freaking weird. Impkssible to stop. What, a curb? Here, really?

To me the tone is set in Mercy Island. On a story toon i do Kalindas arc then Matthew Burkes. Kalinda makes no illusions what you are there for or how vicious it is in Arachnos or working for them while being watched. Which is the ‘deatined ones’ then Matthew throws you a lifeline. Sure. You are ‘working with’ Arachnos. Screw them. Get what you can steal from them kill them and all the while tell them you are on board my current Zombie Tank Rogue is doin all storylines redside and side missions. He wears an Arachnos cape. Proudly. It looks badass. He will kill arachnos just to watch the Body ragdoll he wears the cape while doing hero task forces. No one has said a word. If they did he would say he was just using it to be undercover in arachnos. Which is part if four or five story arcs redside pre 20. i fought Sea Witch last night. A hero. Kidnapped her boyfriend to draw her out i have kidnapped civilians and taken them right to Vahzilok waiting in a van with meat saws i feel like a villain. Er Rogue. Your mileage may vary

Trading between alts can be a lot of work with some items. A lot

I am troubled by the lack of DFB redside. I was just informed about starting them in pocket D. Nice option. Of course peeps have to travel at low level then generally i switch to Rogue and run Blueside. I console myself with the fact that most heroes are narcissistic egomaniacs Vigilantes who are dancing on the ragged edge of becoming villains maybe this is why i am satisfied with Redside. I see corruption everywhere. They do not know they are corrupt

There is a toad willy wheeler in cap that sort of acts like a fawning henchmen. Really he is a clueless pawn. Look. Writing is about drama. Storytelling is boring if you are Omni-God who can do anything with a ...snap. And if you had the henchmen telling you what was lined up you would...wait a minute. Go kill them henchmen. I am busy getting my painting done. Omni-God at sunset on a bridge. when you are needing and wanting and short on resources and power a storyteller has a thousand hooks redside writers put enough depth in the NPCs that it is believable and cohesive. Sure the ‘ocean’ is really about 4 feet deep. But fly over the Rogue Isles and it sure looks convincing. Same with the storylines. They are not the Marianas trench. But they sure look just about right when looking at them from all normal angles it is a creative art. Not reality

Do you guys play the same game as me? I just did every story arc and mission 1-20 and am working on next 5 levels. Really heinous stuff. Killing entire bases full of oeople to cover up crimes. Stealing cures ro epidemics. Kidnapping. Beatdowns.

I looked for the first time this week at server population. Have No idea why the screen came up. Anyways i refreshed it throughout the weekend out of curiosity Everlasting where i play was in second place overall throughout the weekend in terms of overall. But it always had a slight edge in Redside. So i would suggest the unofficial RP server is probably the unauthorized unususual unbeknownst unofficial What was i talking about? Oh yeah. It it where bad people are

Uh. Pvp zones?

Yes. So much anger so much hate. Vive in to it. Street sweep and you can street sweep longbow for a lot if not all redside

Yeah.... immersive. So. You start iut a villian. A destined one. Broke and freash from the Zig. You need cash and to carve out a space in the crimjnal underworld even high end supervillians lkke Doc Aeon are pushing drugs (huge quantities) to finance workd domination activities you can probably run 1-59 solo diing story arcs that revilve around fighting those guys in red and white who aee stomping villlains. Thats right. longbow. If you look at the arcs carefully you will see a path to mostly just fight them all the way to 50. Without double exp and maybe having to turn off exp just to finish the story arcs of fighting Longbow the Freedom Phalanx and Heroes yes. You will fight other villains. Tou do understand it is not one big happy family Redside capische?

I am looking for an off day project and finding Scrappers an interesting possibility i run a SS/invul Brute as my main and am soloing Redside in a Invul/Dark tank. I like heavy and dont mind slow slogging too much the idea is to experiment solo for a while doing radios or papers and maybe a few arcs i have preferences for character concepts but want to hear what the experts say thanks

No. Just an uptick. Redside was dead before the Snap. Dead still. Come to think of it my main Redside is zombie. sometimes there is an outpouring of new Destined Ones from the Zig i do miss the old Mercy. Endless stream of would be master criminals poring out of Fort Darwin. Good times

Solo Redside is better than Gold. Pure. And Blueside? Like it was written by somebody who was hungover. Did they even try to line stuff up? Redside it all tied together. When they could not or did not want to fully explain stuff they took the time to write dialogue that justified it. Good stuff

Have you done DFB for buffs? You can shut off exp switch alignment with Null the Gull in pocket D. Run 4 DFB for buffs. Switch back tirn exp on and it will be like you are running on SOs

I generally use a Brute (done a few times live every story arc and mission redside) and currently on a Tanker my strategy is not to stealth the missions so much as to fly through And ignore the damage. It is a little miserable on the kill alls where i wish for a scrapper i have never run a Stalker. Maybe a day. But i have read a little on the subject and listened to the changes and opinions so in a tight group Boss Lt one or two minions you will not be able to kill the Boss with AS. So you kill the Lt and mebbe a minIon then go hide. Then you come back and ruin the bosses say. That is what i hear since the changes you Should be operating closer to Scrapper tactics in a very large spawn. Able to do sustained melee without having to go through running hiding stealthing swoop back in fight 20secs run hide etc. As i understand it the build was changed to have a different gear for ling extended combats. Since we do a lot if that gl

I am so picky. I have a difficult time with certain elements being heroic. Energy. Check. Electric. Meh. Ice sometimes. Fire - firefist!!! Water- water? I love energy. Can work that 10 different concepts in my sleep. Uilt for blapping. Water. Put on college hat. Study. Theorize. Hmmmm. Still working on it. Seems—- dry

The problem with this is you do not see the SG char of your coalies. Only Coal-chat. I have longed for a multiple SG for each character forever. It is all over the source lore. How many teams has that one guy been on. The guy with a pair of smooth criminals whise name rhymes with Pulverine? of course it is probably hard coded and baked down to one SG. Unless they could tweak Coalition chat to hear all SG chat in everyone you are allied with

Sigh. With a pure ranged build my options are very few. Ice/ice or ice/time? Not super fond of guns or bows

The best place to search for this is the ritki pylon threads. Pre nerf bat on live the Brutes were beating the Scrappers. After the nerf and subsequent tweaks Scrappers were ahead. Sigh as it should be Farm data threads can be useful as well although that can be affected by armor and survivabilty when here we are talking straight damage output

Still looking for my ranged build. I have only 50’d a few blasters and my only incarnate was an energy energy back on live i take zero melee on Blasters. If i want to Blap i will Brute. Just easier by far for me i am taking stealth invisibilty and hover. Am looking at Teleportation set. And possibly the 30sec insubstantial power in invisibility. Really want a powerful sneaky guy. Fast and efficient. But built as a team character. Not support. Just a character that works best with 7 meat shields around. So mostly task forces etc obviously looking at softcapping ranged defense how effective is the tier 1 time power? It Debuffs does no damage and the range is a little short. Its one of the 3 that work while mezzed. Thats all i know what other power sets should i look at. Hasten? Force of will? Etc

In the build Hyperstrike wrote for Invul DM it has a global +Per rectified reticle. To me i would pit in a + ACC Kismet. My thinking is DM needs the accuracy for it’s targeted PBAoE combat buff and targeted PBAoE endurance replenishment powers can someone help me understand the differences and benefits between these two procs and why + perception would be better here? thanks

I watched the reports on server populations this weekend a bit. Couple things stood out. 1) we are not a big community lol. 2) Everlasting, while not the most populated has slightly more redside players than any other server usually. maybe this is due to RP. Redside for me is the most convincing and immersive storyline i mean sure you can join Twinshot and the gang of wannabe Freedom Phalanx. Or you can roll up a criminal mutant alien demon freak and start smacking people down for cash with every door mission and contact dovetailing into a perfect storyline of chaos for cash and power.

Soooo. I use a private base. All my characters are in the SG. I know this does not work for more social peeps but it sol es my problems the base can hold 18 storage devices. Salvage inspirations and enhancers. Each holds 100. Your choice of what 18 base building is free on Homecoming. I put in TP to all zones. Inspiration sellers. Enhancer sellers (standard DO SO) crafting stations mission computers llar if ice and fire mini Ouroboros merit atm etc. it is convenient

Yeah. Agree. The NPCs movements are infuriating. Everybody running around like they have to pee. The dialogue is bland the first time. The 14th.... oof. Painful. The peemise had promise. The execution? Springtime for Hitler it wasnt

With incarnate powers you can heal/buff/ etc. so that solves most of those issues. It might take a while but that is badging isnt it i am running my first ‘badger’. Just started. Its a Tank. I doubt i will get close to all badges. My goal is the 1500 range. I have 200 but i just started him a couple weeks ago and i am slow leveling him for story arcs. Just cruise control gaming
