I wouldn't call it terrible.
I couldn't even type 1/4 of my messages in anything other than my native language - so well done.

Your tactics sound good. I would probably try 3 purple inspirations if 2 isn't working out.

I admit that I don't quite understand this - if you are saying that you have been trying him as an AV... then, yeah, he is pretty hard and I would encourage that you try him as an EB. I have never been brave enough for the AV version myself with any of my characters.

I have solo'd the EB level 50 version on my Son/Rad and my Dark/Cold corrs without Shivans.

It took a couple of tries each, and I relied primarily on a pile of purple inspirations for defense (keep a few for when the banes pop).

The key, as I recall, for the dark/cold was keeping my end up through his attacks (there is some -end there, right?) until the banes popped and then dropped [Heat Loss] in the crowd and 3 quick purples to sustain the remainder of the fight.

I have never played an Ill/Rad, but given my Rad experience with LR, I would expect that the key would just be to keep DPS up. So the advice on the fast PA rech possible is probably sound.

Kingsnake got it one.

Agreed.
My dark armor and shield characters love it. Haven't noticed it much where I've tried it other than that.

For slotting - I echo the PS proc comments tho, take the base benefit and use it for possible benefit. I have moved my regenerative tissue unique there for now also.

GW is darn tough to beat solo (even as an EB), and I have some characters that are darn proud of having done it.

Breakfrees are indeed worthless. If her hold hits you, you aren't getting free. Bring a pile of lucks, and keep 3-4 active all time time. If they do their job, the hold will miss.

Now, if your damage isn't getting to her even as a /Son, then you may be in trouble regardless.

The other advice shared (get Shivans, dropping level, etc.) may be the way to go. Or, faster, find a partner to help. Nothing wrong with ganging up on her.

I'll agree it isn't min/maxed, but I wouldn't call it a "bad idea". I generally find a mix of resist/def (more is better of each, of course) is best. My personal best luck running with hard core (no debt) teams was with a mix of buffs.

I did say fun, to support my attempt to describe balance rather than totally topped out.

Anyway, I guess my point was more in lines of everyone gets a different character to bring to the table, rather than 4 of all the same... but YMMV.

NOTE: see what Mod8 said above. he said it better

*Lights Dr Mechano on fire*

"No, that's not right."

*puts out the fire*

"hmmm...."

*Turns Dr Mechano into a puppy*

"oops"

*Turns Dr Mechano into a tiger*

"yikes"

*Turns Dr Mechano into a cuddly kitten*

"whew!"

*Lights Dr Mechano on fire*

"ah..."

*fetches marshmallows...*

You are right. However, in the context of a comic hero game, any use of the name Arthur runs the risk of seeming to reference other comic Arthurs. In this case, most likely, the pictured Arthur you do not recognize (from a long line of children's books and a TV cartoon) or Tick's sidekick. The latter probably runs the higher risk as its directly a hero reference, but the one you don't recognize is the far larger franchise.

It is the context of the association that matters. And CoH treads carefully after the Marvel dispute of yore.

sorry.

Changed/reduced requirements with I16 help with getting accolade(s) redside.

Had a similar feel playing my tank last night. Solo'd Frostfire at these same settings and got through without a lot of stress. The last room pushed it some - all the elec and cold powers targeting me wreaked havoc. Other than that, felt better. No hard numbers tho.

I have a half-finished time travel arc that this thread may just inspire me to dust off and complete.

Yeah, I saw that. I must be gone bonkers because those seem like the same times and dates from before. Maybe when I happened to play maintenance days it was on one of the "occasional" days, because I had 8-10am in my head. Guess its a good thing I'm at work then, normally. anyway.

I remember thinking "oh, yeah, its Friday. Guess I'll get some eats and then play Europa Universalis: Rome" But, I already admitted I may be bonkers.

*shrug*
I return you to your normal oddity.

edit: not that you're specifically odd. I meant the normal Justice discussions uncluttered by Chyll.

Right. Figured as much, as it sounded like JFA.

On the other hand, I would *hate* a cut scene. so horrible idea.


The only DC connection to WW/BM I have had was on one character that a bid out on a piece of salvage that was removed. That got fixed. Other than that, it doesn't seem any worse than it has ever been.

Am I missing something?

I was off work Friday morning and got a warning at the 30 minute mark. I finished a mission 5 minutes later and logged out to eat breakfast.




Still confused why there was an announcement of the *new* times. They're not new.

And I am thankful that you didn't let it go. However, it was hiding, I credit your efforts (among others, I know) for not letting it slide.

To this point, discussion was focused on convincing the devs of a problem when they had stated that they hadn't found one. Yours was the first definitive pondering of 'intentional' that I noticed.

(Now, as an aside, the accusations of crying conspiracy were well founded. Random House Dictionary tells me that a conspiracy is "...surreptitious or covert schemes to accomplish some end, most often an evil one. A conspiracy usually involves a group entering into a secret agreement..." So, by claiming that there was a stealth attempt (secret) by the devs (a group) to accomplish a goal (reduce drop rates)... That fits the bill of conspiracy. Amuses me that you dodge the claim later. Stand tall and back up your accusations!)

So someone takes your earlier post, runs with the 'doom' and equates it to lying. You dance around it and finally say it may possibly could be a white lie?

So now your fun is ruined. The devs have admitted the bug has been found and they thank everyone for not letting it go. But that ruins your fun.

And no, I don't believe they are 100% transparent, but I don't believe that they are malicious about it, nor do I believe they would directly lie (white, status quo, or otherwise) about what was going on.

After a direct red name quote of it being bug, you come back to reopen the possibility that they aren't being truthful. Are you paranoid?

Yep. You don't outright say it, but then you say anyone who believes the previous comment is now gullible because clearly everyone lies. This continues your stance of lying and conspiracy, in the face of evidence to the contrary. I can't figure out if you're doing this for the lolz or you are just that paranoid.

heh. see earlier.
no twisting on anyone's part, everything you said lines right up with the very definition of the word conspiracy, as noted earlier.

yes, they do. Poking the gibbering paranoids is not the same thing, tho.

Humor to hide the weak-sauce.

heh. see earlier. You really aren't very good at this, are you?

Now its a 'borked argument' further implication that the 'bug is a lie', buried in a generally good comment that this is indeed all speculation. Not all of it reasonable...

Anyway, my amusement for the day is through.

Oh, and its a shame you hide with your rep off (I'd + you for the cool avatar). While rep doesn't hurt particularly, I guess it may show folks that your opinions aren't generally respected. That'd ruin your fun, wouldn't it?

I would place this firmly in the rumor, or pulling your leg department, unless there is a link to any red name mentioning it.
