Banni Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) I love this game. I loved it back in the days, I love it now. But what I never enjoyed was toying with Builds. So I want to say thank you to all of you who creates builds and publish them. Thanks to your efforts, I can focus on the parts of the game I enjoy most. Edited August 6, 2020 by Banni 11
Gulbasaur Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) I'd like to add a special thanks to @Redlynne - almost every time I've looked something up, a wall of text crits me and I get an alarmingly in-depth guide (and I say that as someone who writes guides that are a bit too long). Shout out to the grand procmaster @Bopper as well - truly the build-maker's friend. Thank you!

Carnifax Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Ive robbed, modified and used so many builds from this forum. Mostly as levelling builds where I can which makes playing the characters so much fun. So thank you build-makers, especially the ones who gave me tips and builds for some of my more obscure choices (Ice/Ice scrapper and my Water/Time blaster were especially fun) My level 50 builds [Bullitt Time : DP/Kin Corruptor] [Carnifax : Ill/Dark Controller] [Kerriae : Plant/Storm Controller] [Echinoderm : Bio/Spines Tank] [Iron Brew : Mace/Rad Brute] [Snookered : Staff/NRG Brute] [iScream : Ice/Ice Scrapper] [Binman : Savage/Shield Stalker] [Modul-8 : Time/Sonic Defender] [Concussion Blast : Fire/NRG Domi] [Orblivion : Dark/Martial Domi] [Mombie : Necro/Nature MM] [Tempore : Water/Time Blaster] [Thermodynamic Flux : Ice/Fire Blaster] [Carni's Online CombatLog Parser Alpha]
Clave Dark 5 Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Hear hear! I like the idea of messing about with builds, but it really is just sort of boring to me, too quickly. I'd rather spend my hour just pewpewpewing.

Sovera Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 I remember starting over when HC came out after the big brouhaha of Leo's secret server came out. At the time I was very interested in Sentinels and the forums were so brand spanking new they had 1-2 pages, so, of course, no guides. After lots of dithering I was like, welp, I used to do these a decade ago so lets get back to it. And I was so rusty, god, of course I didn't remember all the tips and tricks and combos. Looking back at my first posted builds I cringe at the clunky way I threw things together 😄 1 - Simple guide for newcomers. - Money making included among other things. - Tanker Fire Armor: the Turtle, the Allrounder, the Dragon, and compilation of Fire Armor builds. - Tanker Stone Armor: beginner friendly (near) immortal Tanker for leveling/end-game and Stone Armor framework. - Brute Rad/Stone and compilation of Brute Stone Armor builds.

My first 50 here on HC is pretty much retired and my marketing character at this point. When I look at her build now, it's just bad or mediocre at best for high end usage. Every once in a while someone will be searching for Elec/SD Scrapper builds and I'll get a message asking me questions or my thoughts. I don't even share that build anymore and instead point them to other much better builds lol. The Trevor Project

These people who provide this information and answer some of my stupid questions are what make this fun game even better.

EmmySky Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Yes, a giant thanks to everyone who helped me and encouraged me. So many stupid questions and everyone just answers them so patiently. I am learning to make my own builds now and that rocks!
Patti Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Why do so many people say that their legitimate and reasonable questions are stupid?
