    Weekly Discussion 43: Badges/Badge Hunting

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I like exploration ones for interesting hidden sites.   Maybe there could be random rampages by lesser villains, (not AV or GM) where they show up, cause a bit of trouble for a time, then try to get away.  Don't need a bunch of people to take them down, but there is a time limit for how long they are there.

     

    Don't want anything that involves a lot of grinding.  My free time is limited, and got other hobbies/interests that have been neglected since finding out about Homecoming.

    I like task forces, but don't get to do them a lot.  Most of the badges I need are TF/SF/Trial related.  Oh, and I hate PvP.  As a Blaster I dread those 'with no defeats' ones.  In Live I got all the debt badges the day they came out.

     

    Oh, and if there is a new badge for badge collecting, I think it should be named  "Been There, Done That"

    X-Men, are they still heroes?

    I haven't kept up with current comics for a couple of years (seriously, it's an insanely expensive hobby) but I don't remember thinking much of 2010s X-Men outside of Gillen's run on Uncanny. Personally I've never been huge on them being a part of the larger Marvel world.

    Huh. Does her son Proteus figure in at all?

    Proteus is one of the five mutants needed for their cloning/reincarnation method.  Exactly how he is in control of himself, (and not dead n all) is a mystery to me.

     

    I've never followed New Mutants, X-Factor, or some of the other solo/spin-off books, so there are plenty of "when did that happen?" plot developments for me.   The only one of the current books I'm kinda liking is Excalibur.  Betsy Braddoc is no longer an asian ninja, the ninja body she had been using for years is back to its original owner.  Betsy has become Captain Britain now as her brother is under Morgan Le Fay's control.

    Oh, and I'm expecting the entire storyline to be retconed at some point.  The start of it was Moira is now revealed as a mutant, her power is when she dies she goes back to her infancy with all memories intact.  Destiny told her she could do it 10, maybe 11 times.   So I'm guessing they will have her killed and the entire timeline will reset without this Krakoa nonsence.

    I don't care for the current direction either.  The whole 'yea we are superior to you, we got our own country now that lets us enter pretty much any other country without permission, so fuck off' isn't very heroic.  The cult like atmosphere, especially about the cloned people.  And that is what it is, they are not saved from death.  Those characters die, and they create a clone with memories of the original copied into it.   Hell, Sinister had been doing that for years with his Marauders, don't see what makes it different that Xavier is doing it.  

     

    Also tired of the overdone alternative timeline plots.  Would love to see them get back to actually good stories that included downtime for the characters.

    Been collecting X-Men regularly for .. um... wow.... a looong time.  Other titles get depending on if I'm interested in the story line or particular character.  Think Ms Marvel is the only other title I'm currently getting regularly.   If you include Manga then  One Punch Man,  My Hero Academia Vigilante, Attack on Titan.

    I'm enjoying the series as well.  Granted, the whole absorption ability and gaining resistances by being exposed to a particular damage type is definitely OP, (which I suppose is kind of the point).

     

    Rising of the Shield Hero is another good one.

     

    I rather enjoyed Goblin Slayer as well, (though that one is rather graphic).

    Yea, the gaining immunity after suffering enough attacks is broken.  And I would be eating everything just to see what you get.  Then the developers put in potentially game breaking pets in, that can only be acquired by players who are already OP?  They need a few lessons on game balancing.

     

    I loved Shield Hero, and want a Raphtalia figure.  Goblin Slayer was great too.  Watched the first episode by myself, so could just jump to second for my wife.   Right now going through second season of Parasyte.  Very bloody, but good.

    Started watching this anime a couple days ago:   "BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense"

     

    The main character starts a new MMO.  Unsure of herself she goes for high defense... and ends up creating the most OP character in the game.  In spending stat points she puts it all into defense.  There are a couple quirks in the game mechanics to help characters survive long enough to run, by buffing defense when fighting creatures with much higher strength and agility, and since she didn't put anything into those, she ends up with defense x8 .  She is freaking out the developers even after they nerf some of her skills.    Only 5 episodes in and I'm loving it

    What's your AT and Pri/Sec? There may be positional powers you can use to push them around?
     

    Blaster  Fire/Fire, incarnate with 4 purple IO sets.    Nothing to push anyone around.

     

    I've never looked at other builds option.  Have to add that to my list of stuff to check out.   Thanks

    I’ve started switching to the dark side to get those badges.  One problem on the pirate ghost hunting badges.  How can I lure them over to the ghost traps when even using brawl will one-shot them?  As a blaster the only taunting I can do is through massive damage.

    @Dacy,

    ‘that is kind of what I linked to.  One page that lists all the stories, in order, with quick blurbs saying what it is.  The first one was done as a comic book which is why it took multiple links.
     

    built up quite a bit over the years, but not as many stories as some in the group.  Soviet Superwoman has a lot more than me I believe

    In the Live days got into a group on DeviantArt writing stories for our characters, not all members were CoH players.  Started it off with my villain tired of the competition of so many villains, and so many heroes interfering when you do manage to get something going.  So she searched for another dimension and ended up in Angel Falls.   Her dimension hopping was detected, and my hero was sent to stop her...  but ended up becoming a permanent resident in that city.  Figured when Live closed down they just got trapped in that dimension, but have now gotten to the alternate universe of Excelsior server.  😉

     

    Anyway, here is an index of the stories I did when I was active in that group.

    Congratz!   Now for Incarnate levels 😉

     

    if you go incarnate, I suggest the Destiny power Clarion.   Gives huge protection against hold, stun, sleep, etc.., and can be used while affected by any of those.  4th tier the protection lasts 2 minutes, and it can be used every 2 minutes.   Can’t tell you how much of a difference that made.  None shall stand before you!!!!!
