Snarky

Homecoming has made significant changes to the game. It is indeed about 3 issues worth. A LOT.

Usually not forced. Although i cannot remember if mis slotted thing go weird. My memory says they work. Then on next redpec it will not go back in.

just did the oldchool LRSF on a pug i joined through ouro. The team was great, the Tank was able to pull the heroes, and it was surprisingly easy! Worthy Opponent badge fell in my lap

I pivoted to an Ice Dark Corr which is now my main. It is good solo, but not a speed killing machine. You get three ST Holds. A full ST hold attack chain. You have good ST damage. You are pretty safe, play almost all from range. Most of the AoE is DoT rains. Which work great with Tar Patch and Corr Scourge, but ate not BOOM you gone powers. On a team you are so golden. Big debuffs with Fear -tohit slows holds -dam -res and solid Corr damage. And a great heal that YOU are always healed by pbaoe. Not for everyone but it fits me well and all the powers synergize.

i lived across the street from where this photo was taken for over two years. it is (was?) one of the pipers favorite haunts

this is not a picture i took, but i have seen this guy riding around portland a few times

Thank you, but let us not oversell the Snarky. (especially to someone who already scratched the gold electroplate off the steel!) I, once or twice a year, do completionist attempts. Which go well if I do Red, and have had decidedly mixed results on Blue and Red/Blue/Gold. These are set at +0/x1 and are not near the stress and difficulty of each mission being a possible end of the run. I have seen some SG mates take on a similar challenge, allowed to team together, one death and out. It was a meat grinder they ran for two? months. Everytime someone died they rerolled and joined back in. At it every night. No idea how far the most successful got. Finally, I am sorry that you were offended. Careful reading will reveal I am not apologizing for what I said. I am who I am. In my view I pointed out basic facts, in a Snarky way. I may be wrong. You may take the first toon and frog march to 50. A 50 of almost any AT/Powerset can handle +4. My old Brutes could handle +4 (on a team) by about late 20s early 30s. I see the issue as low level. Although any fight at high level could end the run, I see huge roadblocks at 1-30 running at +4. If my saying something about it offends you. Finally, I would like you to meet my heroes....

I had never heard of it before. I dux hear a song about giving away free nelson mandelas… whatever that means

Have fun. I do not care if you do this or tattoo your whole body. Do what makes you happy. Me pointing out that you WILL die, repeatedly, almost always before 20 (and that is being generous in my opinion) is not negativity. I am positive that is hitting the LZ hard.

more than meets the eye

hasten works on all but a few powers in the game. dull pain works on you. perma dom works to increase a dominators controls/mezze type stuff

there will be no "late game" your odds will (sooner rather than later) turn horribly against you

As I remember it that is not the first time you were wildy wrong 😂

i am going to use that!

Well, I do have one suggestion. Seek professional care.

Well, if you know me… I tend to be repetitive…so, it might have been sheer volume. In many ways this old vamp still behaves like a child. So talking about my various alt builds for low level ouro content i might gave used the word…a few times… and since i was ranting about something that was probably only interesting to me anyways…prob all that stood out from the drone of old Snarky was that one word every few sentences lol. Damn, i have a gift. I used to run Brutes just because i irritate things without any effort and it seemed like a natural fit.

people say T4 barrier, does it matter which side?

however in deference to my goal of not being ignorant, i can creatively use other terms. pocket battleship is much more accurate, just slightly more cumbersome

i said current generation, but in truth it is the ignorant in every generation. unfortunately, with media and the internet it is even easier to be completely ignorant yet believe you are incredibly enlightened.

The current generation (in my opinion) reads much less, wants to be super politically correct, and is childishly tyrannical to anyone they disagree with. Richard Pryor would not be able to get a job in modern America without a complete overhaul. He uses bad words and points out awkward truths. There are modern comics I could mention, but just saying their name could spark a war. Fun, but this thread is about my madness. So we will leave that for elsewhere

I have not read ANY of the crap that comes with the game. I bought an expensive car 6 months ago and read zero of what I signed. I do not recommend you go through the world like me, just saying how I bounce through. I rely on common sense to get through the grocery store, and the boards, in game chat, discord etc. There have been issues. I offended a good friend (and SG officer) when I kept referring to alt builds on my toon for low level Ouro work as Twinked. He was finally like "SNARY! Stop! It is offensive!" Then had to explain why. Quite patient really. It was a term I had originally heard in gaming decades ago, and stuck, as it was a useful word that (to me) had no other use. I been wrong before. This same SG officer defended me on Discord when I was discussing a musical instrument and kept referring to the fingering of the clarinet. (i am missing a few bits on a hand) One of the people in discord was like STOP, and the SG officer (a person who has made money in the musical field) was like, "No, Snarky is right. That is how you refer to holding a musical instrument and operating it." Still, common sense, I backed off the terminology. I did get booted for a day from posting on the boards a couple years back. The Devs decided to make BNY follow us around as a April Fools prank. Which...irritated my vamp butt. So i posted on the boards. In General. Which they moved. In General. Which they moved. In General. Which they moved. In General. Which they moved. In General. Which they moved. In General. Which they moved. In General. Which they moved. In General. Which they moved. and aftyer a few more iterations they banned me 24 hours. I came back 24 hours later. Posted it was censorship. And went away for 6 months to another mmorpg.

it is the name of the bonus. So a few others look real similar. but it is the exact wording that lets you know if there is a conflict. lotg7.5 confuses everyone at first

that is called being wrong
