Snarky

This thread has the most serious Tankers i know. Someone told me they have a Fire Tank with very high resists (80% energy res the lowest, high defenses…softcap zip code, and near max health…..). Just from the build stone cold. Is this possible or not?

This is a hard one. I find i have to tell people a few times we have to keep killing it for the event badge. As long as you get there with one or two other believers then it all works out

I have fly on everything. Especially handy vs knockback. Even a high mag KB tends ti just send me for a flip in the air.

What are considered good to have on these harder runs? What are considered "that is not so good?" is the break point at 2 star or 4 star where it really starts to be important?

I DO NOT! There are alternate animations for those armors. It takes me a half hour to layer and color all the Dark armors into the correct smudge on your screen as I pass by....

You can convert them to threads. Meh. Or you can save them up and use 30 to add to two notices of the well (for a weekly strike target) for a favor of the well. Which nets more threads when busted down. Either way end goal is threads. shards are an alternate currency from a much slower era of the game.

I would love to maintain a truly villainous Archetype. There are a few choices. Corruptor.... Heals or Buffs people. ^scratches head. okay. no, that ain't it. Here is one. DOMINATOR. Oh my! No heals. No buffs. Dominates the enemy. ^nods sagely. Okay lets try that. Inherent power makes you more powerful, more .... wtf? A .... a rainbow? You are not kidding me? No alternate animation. Every 2 min and then stays with you. let me get this straight. I must be misunderstanding something. They created an entire villain side, with zones, storylines, AV leaders. They made all new Villain classses. They made a Villain Archetype called Dominator with an inherent to increase the control he/she has at DOMINATION. To quote the game "Additionally, each time a Dominator attacks, he comes closer to unleashing his true sadistic power of Domination." Sadistic. Villain Side. Dominator. And the Inherent power animation is... a rainbow. So, lot of acid making it's way through the Dev studios that week. Bring your daughter to work day? Someone terrified of rainbows? I give up, what caused this need to equate Rainbows with Sadistic Power, Domination, and Villains? I do not see it. So I beg you. Clean up on aisle 5 Redside. Alternate animation, or suppress or something. Oh, and likewise on Dominator, Dark Assault, Gather Shadows. Because that is also gathering bright cheerful happiness, not shadows. At least in the animation.

what? weird?

Even when you know the "lingo" there can be grand miscommunication. I joined a Rescuer Badge and Finder Defeat badge run yesterday. The Rescuer arc is rescuing Penelope Yin's dad. Takes 10 min. The Finder badge is defeating a 100 Lost bosses. add 5 for kill alls? The PUG ad never mentioned +4. 40 minutes later....

Yeah. On Excelsior a couple years ago there were 1-2 peeps that smacked Sally as soon as she was up. And it was the same 1-2 characters for quite a while. So…. Everyone gets there fun a different way i guess

I think if a person develops a real attachment to a character. (the concept/story/fictional individual....not just the AT Power on whatever alt) they will have a deeper relationship with the game, and the community. They will be deeper invested, with stronger roots. This will, in turn, make the game stronger as the community is more stable.

Invul is a hybrid armor. Using Def and Res. Defense armors are great. Until they are not. But everyone pretends that never happens. Enjoy. I use Dark. Specifically, Dark Dark Soul. I have near perfect Res and Faux defense (no DDR necessary) of to hit debuff, non suppressing stealth, fear, and stun. For times when I have to work I have both Melee Core Embodiment and Rune of Protection. plus... we all carry inspirations 🙂

And a stripped car is s “ base car” but that definition is very fluid based on model and car company you really want “BASE” numbers with no enhancers comparison. Will take 2-5 min. Open mids. Make a new tank. Pick every armor except T9. Turn those on. Do not enhance. Look at totals. Now, just change each armor set. Look how totals change. Change through all armors. So, base invul is better than everything else. now if you want a lowest competent i/o investment (base, new definition) Invul will get better in every way. And the more you build it ( supreme, w/sour cream) the better it gets. Until you get to what i call Ultimo builds ( i think someone has one they call modurable ) Invul just outshines all rivals. now i main a Dark/Dark tank. All of Dark is horrid unenhanced (stripped base) and little better lowest competent I/O build (base). But when enhanced correctly ( and expensively) it is very nice. Not base

I would love to see rewards for players on the same toon. Two things stand right out. Farmers can gain huge veteran levels. So this would need to be acknowledged and managed. Also, i just saw a non farm tank 1500 badges and TWELVE HUNDRED vet levels. Yeah, it is like that. Interestingly what I want to see is to encourage players to stay on a character for 100-300-1200? Vet levels. But you have to balance the incentive with non unbalancing the game.

So they changed a few things in LGTF. Cannot TP Penny, and the Hami mission now requires no EoE because Hami damage us toxic in that instance Is this the case in 1-4 star LGTF as well? Or us that “standard” Hami special damage requiring EoE?

i waited 4 hours for a troll rave once and i needed just 2 stinking Supa Trolls lol

The Hellion Arson rarely take more than two hours to spawn. It may be roughly hourly. Basically, building is always catching on fire.

This is obviously the Imperial Snarky. A Metric Snarky is a volume of measurement for how much I post a vehement disagreement.

Out of curiosity before you dropped Invul for running out of endurance did you do any research on how to build it correctly?

Yes, the old Shadow Punch to hit Debuff is replaced (timer restarted) by the new one on the second hit. but... All the other Dark powers do stack. Same way, not with themselves, but with all the other Dark powers. So a Dark Dark Soul Brute could have simultaneously 6 melee to hit debuffs, Cloak of Fear to hit debuff, 2 ranged to hit debuffs from Soul, and a massive to hit debuff in the toggle from Soul. This is part of what I call the "faux defense" on Dark. Combined with non suppressing stealth, the Fear, the Stun aura, makes the to hit debuff part of a constant maze of roadblocks to enemies successfully attacking. Dark Invul would be missing the Cloaks, but has actual defense numbers, and importantly defense debuff resistance. Combining a to hit debuff like Dark with Invul is a strong pairing.

we are arrived compatible

glad you added that 'something'

Shhh. Don’t remind people how old the game is 😂
