Snarky's back!

I'm now trying out a completionist run with an AR/Dev and it is fun! Currently level 4 doing all blue and red side contacts.

good luck.  here is a spreadsheet i use.  blue you have to eliminate contacts whose content is exactly the same as contacts with a different name.  Wes Schnabel, for instance, is slightly bugged.  but there are a couple contacts who offer his content who are not.  so it depends who rng sends you to.  i have not updated this sheet in a couple years.  no warranties for errors.

 

also, for blue contacts, i find the only way to get everything is doing everything at the bottom of their level ranges.  tedious, yet the best chance of getting it right.

To commemorate my decision to rejoin the Forum I am restarting my completionist run.  On a Dark Dark Corruptor.  I am grabbing my signature name "Snarky"  So, if you see a level 2+ vampire running around Excelsior... yep, it is me.  

 

I do not find "writing" a vampire in CoH/CoV particularly easy.  But I think a Dark Dark Corr comes closest to it.  Well, Stalker is closer, but I find melee dreadfully boring after doing it on Brutes forever.... 🙂

First off, welcome back, we all need to clear our heads at times.

 

Second, to @Luminara

Why?  Because I missed you guys.  I like sharing my "wisdom" such as it is.

 

Where have I been?  Not far.  I game Fri and Sun Evenings with Justice Superteamers on Excelsior.  They run themed teams.  Excellent gamers.  I also run quite a bit solo.  

 

My latest project?  An AR/Dev Blaster who is soloing every contact in the game.  Currently level 20, 789 badges.  According to city data terminal 624 missions completed, 2 failed.  753 merits, although i have 1221, which i assume the difference is giant monsters and zone badging, etc. enemies defeated 21,644.  theme is "little green army men" toon is Green Sarge on Excelsior.  yes, i shrank him with mini mode.  he is fun.  i think AR/Dev Blaster is probably one of the most efficient toons to do this type of project with.  i used to use Brutes.  yeesh.

 

Mostly I solo. although I have led a very few TF/SF.  The Posi One was...  a Posi One!  I held out zero hope of any coordination.  Much to my surprise, as we zone into the last mission a teammate (I am leading but saying very little) suggests we do not "rescue" the last hero until we clear around the front of city hall.  I get in team chat and say what a great idea this is.  i tell everyone what the plan is.  Then the shitheads saved everyone, the last guy was under the guy with one huge ball.  The pulled everyone AND two of them jumped to city hall front door immediately.  I ate inspirations, threw down caltrops, and thanked the stars I bought all the P2W grenades....   We made it.  Barely.  Oh, Posi One.  Always a weird run...

I used to get so frustrated with Posi 1.  I stopped leading it.  I stopped joining it.  I found it was one of the few TFs my baby toons could actually solo at +0.  I complained a lot to my friends and they said "why worry about the rules, just run it at +0 with the team and what's the worst that could happen"

+0 seems to be the trick.  Since we started that I have only had a few wipes and I lead this TF twice a week for years now.  If they pull extra groups..pop purps and make jokes and laugh.  I have only had wipes twice in the last two years.  we never intentionally clear the stairs, we wait to see what happens.

Can confirm a Snarky sighting! I said hi and welcomed him back to the forums, but in a display of true Vampire disregard he ignored me.

Consider yourself lucky. His badge title is obviously there to lull people into a false sense of security and then he strikes. You walked away with your blood intact!

Sort of.  That is my new Corruptor to solo all content.  So limited choice of cool badge titles.  Also, ….  So real!

There's a lot of exploration (and others but there's a lot of exploration ones) badge titles that are really good that kinda get overlooked

Here's one example 😉

When I can, I like use exploration Tip mission to find those badges. The mission flag takes you right to it. No wondering around until you find it ... left, right, up, down.

If Snarky came back, I guess I could pop back in to say hi also.

 

Hi.

 

Also, welcome back Snarky.
