Snarky

You really want to kill your way to fifty using this micro managed strategy Sheldon Cooper? Seriously, I do a lot of solo story arcs. They are their own animals. Each different, some wildly so. Each with its own challenges. Be that maps, or strange objectives, or difficult (for that toon) enemy group. You will have a difficult time constructing a “one size fits all” team setting to efficiently get experience soloing on every mission. My two inf.

Welcome to Homecoming!

UP

Things were off to a strong start. I was meticulously and methodically clearing each level range. I finished 15-19 yesterday and leveled to 20, stopped experience. There are a few contacts at 20 red and blue. I did red, then went to do blue. Shauna Stockwell and Eagle Eye are listed in HC Wiki as 7-20. A damn lie. Shauna is not available at 20 and she introduces Eagle Eye. There are a lot if strange things Blueside. If I ever attempt one of these runs again I will probably do Blue from the first level they are available and not the last. They are complicated, futzy, and each contact follows its own rules that are not always documented correctly on wiki. Takeaways…. This is an incredibly strong character that I have fallen in love with. Ice Dark Corruptor is great at low levels and coming into 20s picks up steam and starts taking shape. This will be my main going forward. I will rant more about its greatness in other threads I am sure. From here I will run each TF/SF/Trial in mostly level order. Then 50, incarnate and continue. I will set up an alt build for low level Ouro badges starting in level range order, completing, then updating the build for next level range. Due to exemplar rules 50s are odd when squished and I find the builds rely on procs and odd mechanics more than getting a damage power enhanced to a normal level. Which is surprisingly difficult. I will probably start a discussion about that in a week or so and seek input. Cyas in the city on the shiny new Snarky!

If you 4 slot hover i will get my lazy butt out of my coffin, walk through a bright sunny day to your house, and drain you of blood.

this is on my Corr project. slotting at 24 is TIGHT lol

Everything you have asked is pretty much okay buff heal whatever. If someone is “pulling” mobs (rare,very rare in open world) then not okay to kill. Most “heroes” racing away are going to be fine with an assist Other than the name and redside connotation I am unsure why a Corruptor was not chosen. This is an S class archetype with high damage AND high buffs/heals/debuffs. I have finally settled on one as my main after running Brutes forever and Blasters the last couple years. Damned things are simply too good not to run. Giving up some damage to Blasters and some buffs/debuffs to Defenders and then taking what they get and combining it into a whirlwind of effectiveness

zombie legs sort of have tattered shorts but its a skin

My favorite CoH time travel story is one I made up myself. So good I am currently reusing it. From my perspective (a gamer) the CoH world is static. You can run through it, but not really change it much. Also, there are the Menders and Ouroboros. This led me to postulate the Menders had placed CoH in a "time bottle" sealed away. So a future culture sent a robot probe to investigate. My last "solo all arcs and contacts" was this robot probe. I am redoing this theme with Snarky the Vampire, from the future when he is a demi lich. He wants to know why the Menders have done this and sends himself back though time into the "time bottle" to investigate the world (solo everything)

Your experience cannot be denied. I played on a few servers on live. It was my understanding and experience Freedumb had a more active redside than Virtue. Ymmv, and obviously did.

the last two Synapses i have done we have lucked into small maps on every kill all. even with a disorganized pug we were just over an hour. the killer team was faster. not the fastest i seen, those were some maniacs that cleared the whole thing in 35 min and said that was not near their record. i have advocated for hard coding the small maps. i wish this was an indication i was heard. what are other people Synapse experiences currently?

so power from the Well is a McGuffin, because it is an Eternal self aware font of power with undiscernible motives, but it is a thing? weird body+yello sun is NOT a McGuffin Being a God or Cosmic being is NOT a McGuffin Being a mutant is NOT a McGuffin You have given me something to think about....

name me one fictional or mythological uber powered being that is not (in essence boiled down) McGuffin powered. If you manage to name one, consider how applicable that is to ten thousand 50s becoming more powerful, 100,000, er 1mill...

I do NOT see it that way, Take Lord Recluse. Tech, gadgets. Yes, the Well granted him great power. That he infused into more gadgets. Get Robotic Drones for Lore Pets. My new Ice/Dark Corr will take Polar Lights. Yes, the Incarnate Nuke is harder to explain. But we have 50 levels of odd temp powers we have been throwing around. They really should offer weapon fired solutions for a few of those, all of those however. Basically, in a nutshell, I saying you got no imagination. IMO

did you just necro answer something 3 years later?

I suppose it is like having a Jewish Obstetrician. Ignorance is bris.

I am your “dastardly brethren” Look, except for a few double exp weekends on Freedom server on Live Redside has never been busy. Even then, it was mostly just Mercy and Fort Darwin. I play most comfortably as a Rogue. That way I can team whenever I want. Make sure you are blueside before asking for team invite. I love the storylines of Red more than anything. Seriously. But teaming is what makes the most fun. TFs, Trials, and giant badge attempts are where it is at. And that is much more blue than red. So…. Be a true villain. Hide your evils (or dont) and wander the busy city streets blueside

Damn. I actually meant Venture Brod. Old vamp brain. Well, time to go out and look for fresh blood….

From “The Tick” is The Monarch. Quite a few villains in many iterations of Batman were MMs. Giving Batman plenty of goons to dance with. In fact so many villains of lower power dramas could be considered MMs. On the high end Lex Luthor and Kingpin. Both smart and powerful but preferring to work through flunkies. Why not?

there, fixed it for you

oh. it is appreciated. a lot

thank you for finally asking!

Is that a movie title?
