Name database - Will this get cleaned up?
Force Redux replied to Pony Up's topic in General Discussion
I like to think of it this way. Imagine if it wasn't names that were at stake. Imagine if it was your gear such as enchantments and recipes. What would the argument look like if after a period of inactivity stuff you don't need that your character has equipped goes into a public fund for others to take? How well would that go over? Does the argument of "well you're not using it" still hold water? My name is as much an investment in an established character as their gear, their base, and everything else. -
Typically: PUGs, radios, TFs, MSRs, etc. to level cap. Then red or blue side (depending on concept) missions through Oro as I incarnate up.

Supergroups, Global Friends, and You
Force Redux replied to Dona Eis Requiem's topic in General Discussion
Solo SG for the most part. I have a few RL friends who log in at the off moment for some RP, but mostly me, myself and I on Everlasting. I have odd playtimes though, so I mostly PUG. It's social enough, meet fun peeps and have a good time. No different than the end days of Live, after my old VG broke up. I Star mark folks and create Notes on them when I have a good team so I can tell who's who they are later on. Helps to remember who peeps are. On occasion, Global Friends and I chat or team up. I won't join another SG because I want restricted access to my own vaults. Reading everyone else's responses, I guess I'm not as socially weird as I thought. -

No one is involuntarily welcome to my 50s names. Ever. I'm glad the devs agree. No arguments. -
Just a display bug you're not being debuffed yourself, though I'm sure it's a little confusing to see it appear there.

Gather the Shadows: a Dark Miasma Primer for Masterminds
Force Redux replied to Force Redux's topic in Mastermind
Yes I feel the same way. Ninja's are super good, I have them mixed with cold manipulation, great combo! Good to hear you're enjoying your ninja dark! -
First time Playing, need help with Sentinel build
Force Redux replied to Starchew's topic in Sentinel
I'd suggest Dark Blast/Ninjutsu. Fun sets, good visuals, and they work nicely together. Dark Blast offers -ToHit to stack with NInjutsu's Defense. Has an exotic damage type most mobs don't resist well. Has solid AOE attacks as well as ST attack chain. Ninjutsu gets its defense toggles early, compared to Super Reflexes. Has somewhat lower Defense Debuff Resistance (DDR), but you are not a tanker and can avoid more aggro at range vs. the melee ATs, and can likely fly out of reach, so not as important. Ninjutsu also has a heal (so you can skip Siphon Life if you wish), and an Endurance heal, too. It also has a power to slot +global defense uniques if you wish to spend for them later. It does not cost a lot to make a workable build with this, and with IOs and influence later on, it only gets better. I have one, it's a great combo if you like Dark Blast, which it seems you do. -
I'm New and this is going to be a dumb question.

Crab spider VEAT gets pets, but they are very secondary to the Crab Spider's attacks. But I second Necro. -
What are the most team-friendly Mastermind builds?
Force Redux replied to ScarlettStorm's topic in Mastermind
I'll recommend two of my favorites, suggested above: Mercs/Nature: you get to play a 'healer' with teeth. Great team and solo utility, a few tricks up your sleeves. Necro/Dark: debuff kings, with controller powers, and great single target damage. Teams will love either. -

Glad you like, welcome; With the upgrades to ninjas, and their improved defenses, they are very good these days! I'll need to update my guide to reflect that 🙂 -
Ooohhh... What's the upgrade for Devices? Did I miss something in the natch potes?

Welcome Home! - An Open Letter from Homecoming
Force Redux replied to Widower's topic in Announcements
Great news all around! If Victory is coming as it's own shard what of Paragon? -
That's a beautiful ceiling!
-
Only every once in a while. Annoying, but livable.

I'll bite. My Necro/Dark MM, Halloween Girl. Great costume, story, and fun to play solo or teamed.
-
Would love that yes!

Move APEX and Tin Mage to Peregrine Island
Force Redux replied to MsSmart's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I don't ever see these advertised on Everlasting, unfortunately. -
Forgive me it's been 20 years since I played. Mutation/Blaster build
Force Redux replied to GanjaGamer501's topic in Blaster
Go with what you like. Blasters have so many great choices, and none are bad. -
A deeper appreciation of the HC team's capabilities.

Mercs/Nature is one of my favorite characters. As StrikerFox mentioned, as you level don't worry too much about slotting, just use random stuff or cheap IOs off the auction house. For pets you want to make sure you have Accuracy, Damage and Endurance. Don;t worry about recharge. Eventually when you get some Influence you can get them the mastermind unique IOs that boost their defense and resistance. For nature focus on recharge, heal and endurance reduction overall. When you get entangling aura you can add in hold duration enhancers. For stamina, focus on Endurance modification (2-3 slots). Don't worry about slotting health with healing, it is more of a mule for unique stamina procs later in the game when you are ready to purchase them. At level 25 grab a bunch of level 25 crafted IOs to slot into your powers (or simply craft your own at the University for cheaper).
