Snarky

devices. smoke grenade works miracles, caltrops is useful, targeting drone gives you an auto buildup if out of combat 3 secs and gun drone tanks for you...

you did get it on my new 50 in one run. thanks! although it looked iffy to me all the way down to the wire

3 years later. You think they have been sitting in fron tof the comp desperately wanting this response for 3 years?

My standard for badging characters, at level 1 turn off small inspirations and select ones (usually resistance on non melee) until badge is received for rejecting 1000. About vet level 25? Then turn all those back on AND team and multi. All done through START vendor

Heh. I mostly pug. I had good pugs today. I had bad pugs today. The good? 2 day old 50 and Oklahoman’s pug itrials got me 4 master badges. Pug blaster team did a kill most Market Crash and got Valet. The bad? Tried to get on a standard baf pug and ouro went sideways. The ugly? A 2 attempt run at MoLRSF that was an embarrassment at best. I cannot say more, litigation is being considered.

sure here ya go. It is just like the reg version. omly do not die. "I dont know the reg version" so, youre just here to screw the badge run. nice

if you want me to carry someone ignorant across the desert on my back you are looking at the wrong vampire...

Throne rooms is a very large category. Many areas in the game would qualify. Unless you require an actual throne. Trying to recall, does Atta even have a throne?

nah, there is a harder LRSF in Ouro. Deaths are allowed there. Heh, o yeah....

So, join a MoLRSF on my new 50 collectin' badges... 1st mission, within 3 minutes.... 1 person quits. or DCs No idea. Another person starts asking for detailed instructions of what to do, asking where we are, says they have not run in years.... I was honest "Do not join a Master 50 TF when you have no idea what to do" Then we had a death. All within 5 minutes of hitting the door.

Also, this reminds me of something a good gamer mentioned. I think it was Oklahoman. Someone ignored all his instructions and ruined a badge run. Oklahoman banned them from future runs. Comms were established and it turns out the person spoke little english. I honestly think this is very common now. Some of the things that are happening do not speak to griefers or bad players but just to a lack of understanding that can only come from not speaking English. Which also would make sense. CoH Homecoming is a great mmorpg environment. And , it is free. No matter what your local economy is like if you can find a comp with internet you can play a top notch mmorpg, no credit card needed. Maybe not a huge portion of our community but it cannot be insignificant. And it will look exactly like the things we are seeing. And they would all plop right down on the busiest server.

By far Triple Threat. Cosmic Council used to do Really Hard Way once a week. I think they missed getting it maybe twice i can remember. Triple Threat? That badge, you can line it all up perfect and say go. Then sit there a minute later asking yourself where it all went wrong. Over and over again. This with a full SG on Discord and concentrating. In a PUG. I see Oklahoman trying this 2-3 times every day or so. Of the fifteen to twenty times I have been with him I have seen ONE successful Triple Threat.

I agree with myself. Also, Brute ATOs are an even more wasted opportunity than PvP Sniper set with it’s insta snipe i/o. And that is saying something

there is a glaring issue here. this is like writing up a discussion aimed at people who cannot read/ why can't they read, do they want to read, the benefits of reading. then handing it out on the street to convince people to read. everyone on the forums (except for a few griefing murder hobos) agree with the concept and protocol of being good teammates/fellow players. a lot of people on "New Freedumb" err Excelsior have no idea they should wait for anyone or that anyone wants this thing. mostly because, like not reading the forums, they are not observant of chat. They have music going, a dog barking, a TV playing, shoving food in nutrient hole, etc...

Stories like this are why Blasters are more fun for experienced players and frustrating for newer players. Most vets have not only the maps memorized but the vast majority of mobs and their whole game plan. Therefore having huge armor and mez protection (and it would be nice) is a luxury given up for the power to blast them all to oblivion. But even for a vet it is dicey. On my new 50 AR/Dev yesterday i must have died 10 times. But i ran two ITF +4 kill alls, a speed LRSF, a speed MLTF, aTinMage, aTPN, and a Aeon. I play aggressively and do not build for full damage mitigation. I built for +dam, +range, recharge, and a medium amount 30% of ranged defense. In that priority order. It is just a chattering machine gun until they plant me or lie quietly still the way they are supposed to.

There is a suppress particle effects. I used it once in RWZ ship raid. I di not remember the command but it cleared a lot away.

they go there when they insist they are right even though they know nothing.

you may be right. however....

how is it not true if the enhancer values show it?

in game displays for attuned enhancers are showing sets that are 10-20, 10-30, leveling with toon up to 50 and showing level 50 enhancer values... is this a new thing? is it true?

I think Indomitable is the only shard I did not get the Snarky name on!
