    Natural progression….

     

    It almost as if OP is just growing tired of the game and is manufacturing a reason to quit, rather than just stepping away.

    i was thinking something similar.  it is almost as if the OP is using this as an excuse to destroy the world's economy, and takeover every government using a covert system of deep cover operatives...

    Ahh, that explains why you have to run over to the corner where your ass got kicked to pick it up after every fight.. You really need to use a btter glue to keep it attached.    😁

    funny as that is... you only need 4 pts KB prot in 99% game, when 4 is not enough half the time 10 will not be either....

    Yeah Snarky I think I was wrong about this one. After experiencing the slowdown from having an ally accidentally intangible various things while trying to leverage the trawl… I am probably not gonna bother respecing into this thing.

    it's a dog turd.  i may (depending on options, mood) keep this on my "slogging to 50: dark dark corr to document crap like this.  but then it is gone.  used it on a roflstomp team (on discord) vs Devouring Earth and it caused confusion.  and slowness.  

     

    it is amazing that you can somehow take something as bad as Black Hole, and actually make it worse.  Truly amazing!

    Letting go of Def and giving in to the concept

    I find myself lately in this runt where every time I start a new character with the ideas of all the power I wanna try and take, about into my 30s I find myself working on soft capping Def and end up no where near what I started off wanting to do.  Don't get me wrong, the characters a strong and can stand the test of time but not what I started off wanting to do and then I end up getting bored with said character.  I didn't used to always been like this, but at some point and time I find myself always trying to soft cap Def, and not just Def! If I am playing a Dom I am almost always pulled to making it a Perma Dom and whatever idea I started out with is long lost.

     

    Those of you who can resit making every character Soft cap on Def, not max Recharge, etc.  How is it? Is it still fun, can you still rock with a team ready to do "hard" content and still walk out the other side giving a thumbs up? Heck it doesn't even have to be hard content to be honest, just in general, how is it? Heck I find myself where I can't even remember the last time I made a character that DIDN'T have me running to the test sever just to see how it plays out instead of jumping on live and simply going, "lets see what we come up with in the end".  I can't be 100% mad at it because the amount of ideas I had for a character, played it on test and simply went "omg....I am so glad I did NOT try that in live" is crazy.  

     

    I guess what I am trying to say without all the rambling is that it feels like lately I am restricting my own fun, but I am STILL having fun...just...I don't know 😫 feels like it's becoming harder and hard to come up with a new character and stick with it and not fall into the trap of a character that can stand toe to toe, but not what I originally wanted.  That said I don't wanna lean too far into the original idea and spend 95% of my time on the floor. Does anyone else run into this kind of stuff or do I just need to take a small break and come back???

    I went through this phase.   And have gladly left it behind. Now i lean into building how to make my powers more effective.
     

     Solo, and at lower levels, leaning into the synergy of the powersets are more efficient.  In my opinion.  And carry a few purple candies.  

     

    At higher levels, especially on teams, your defense is capped by team/league buffs almost always. So enhancing your powers cleverly is the ONLY way to be more effective…

    In-game places that you wish would have names

    I sort of love this idea.  With a billboard or a name on a bldg.  

     

    But i also realize a couple things. First, even if the spot had a name AND a marker on the map like a neighborhood marker, you will still need to post coordinates to be polite to new players.  
     

    Second, every veteran thinks of these locations in different ways.  I never thought of them as troll east/south/west.  It is similar to the way we all know our cities.  People that use the train think of the city one way.  People that use different transportation think of the layout differently.  Our experience molds our map of the city. 
     

    yes, this would bs cool though

    Bro went off about some undocumented nerf that he didn't realize had no functional impact to gameplay and now he's scrambling around trying to dig up anything he can to justify his rant instead of just saying "oops, my bad."

    Heh. That’s not going off.  If you need a rant I can give you a great example…

     

    need to stretch first, get comfortable

    Why is there no Armour set in the game?

    in General Discussion

    I really feel like this is two hands, … that are somehow missing clapping. 
     

    the powers in the game have a set ability, with some customization.  
     

    the costume AND THE BACKSTORY tell how the character became what they are, got their powers, and perhaps influenced their philosophy.  
     

    it seems like you want the costume/powers to be all one thing and do the heavy lifting.  Like stone, this becomes a very defining everything about the character with zero room for anything besides “hi, i am mr rock 23456.”

    so you are ok with lowering tanks and brutes to 4 points? they wouldnt notice the difference. The power being nerfed is a high tier long recharge power. There was zero reason that this was a problem. or can you articulate why it was a problem rather than gaslighting us that it is inconsequential?

    Hog,  I run Dark Armor melee.  My ass has no KB prot.  gaslight that!

    Only Love Can Hurt Like This - Ashling Corlett - Level 41-49

     

    And so true.  But with penicillin, ointment, and monthly treatments most of the symptoms go away…

    What are the craziest builds you have seen in game that works shocking well?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Most of you probably do not know i run almost all Dark….

     

    okay, seriously though.  That was for context.  So I built a Fire Fire Fire Blaster about a year ago.  For lulz.  The build goal was very straightforward.  Cram as many +damage% on as I could.  Then for incarnate powers always the max damage options.  Now vet level 135.  

    This last week Justice Superteamers ran a 6 person +4 ITF.  We had no melee. Someone asked about tanking.  One of the other Justice players who has seen this said “Snarky will tank on the fire blaster”. And i did.  No problem.  Because when things disappear the agro is managed.  This worked well.  
     

    At one point there was a server message about being in the red.  Someone teased me in discord about advertising for cash.  Because i had been doing it all day.  So i stopped and typed out “server is now red.  Redside processing fees of 10 mil inf please send to @Snarky.  Thank you”.  The team moved on to the first general fight on the bridge while i was doing this.  Couple deaths.  Some comments about “i thought that would work…”.  I joined the team and started leading again with nukes.  We went merrily along

     

    I have always been surprised by how survivable this little defense no resistance Blaster is.

    Please explain where not having 100 prot against knock for 15 seconds makes the game more tedious.

    the only thing i can think is against BAB   the guy packs a wallop.  but 15 secs?  when has anyone put down the Freedom phalanx in... okay, some of these geeks have.  but still, thats the only place it might be useful.

     

    4 pts KB prot is great against 99% game...

    I've noticed a distinct lack of being able to hit mobs; as in I'm whiffing a lot more than what I was last month across all 30 some toons. In some cases this is despite having ACC SO's slotted. Dunno if it's a result of a nerf or the mobs getting boosted, but it's certainly annoying. Nothing like going up against a white tag mob and then missing the next dozen strikes rather than two or three that was my old normal. lol 

    i rarely miss.  Solo i run on easy mode, as i am doing every mission.  I use a kismet +to hit and standard +acc of 15-80, with most powers havein 35 or so
