    The soon-to-arrive Incarnate Trials and existing TFs might fit the bill. Afterall, just how many Lvl 50s are out there just waiting to gobble up more power from the Incarnate System?

    Just a thought.



    And even if Kult doesn't spring at the upcoming Trials, I suspect running them will become a regular part of our Protector world.

    I must admit, I feel a bit woozy myself after reading what Black Scorpion had to say. But, I'm hopeful that when it all goes live either they - the Devs - will explain it more clearly, or we - the us that is not them - will quickly get a handle on exactly what's going on and how best to get what we want.

    If not, I'll just blow some #$%& up.
  3. This is also very much worth reading up on...

    now off to check Alpha status on my 50s.
  4. I can do that too...





    But, the whole point of the thread was to inform my fellow denizens of Protector about news they might not otherwise trip over.
  5. More Vet Rewards news

    The 28th this game turns 81 months old... where has the time gone? Heck, I know one player - a good friend - who couldn't even drive when he started playing CoH, now he can drink, legally even. Ha!

    Happy Birthday Paragon City! (in 3 months)
  6. Freedom, power, and a future full of possibilities...

    I wonder just what the future might hold for Ruadh, Na'rul, and 'Trix...

    Great read Sooner, and thanks for that ending, it's a good one.

He looked back, imagining Sadb's smile, her laugh, the way she would look up at him through her lashes. He remembered the way it had felt to hold her body against his. And he smiled a small, sad smile.

    I helped write the story, but not even I know every detail and surprise Sooner's has instore for us. I'm particularly interested in the next bit, and, of course, the ending.
  9. *pokes thread with stick*

    Don't make me get out the hose, woman.
  10. I believe we're looking for...

    BRUTALITY!!!

  12. Really good stuff Sooner.

    This puts Conall's future deeds in a rather different light.

    Invuln advise

    I've had an Invul/EM Tanker for a long time, been around the block and back again several times. Through several respec's, concept changes, and of course game modifications, he's remained fun to play. His current build is below. I'm not posting it as the "end all, be all" build to beat all builds, but it serves me - and those who I protect - pretty well. As a bonus, it is not a bank breaking build either - the IOs in Health being possible exceptions. But, none of the IOs or sets of IOs are "must have", they're just handy to have around. So, check it out if you like, hope you find it helpful.

    I wanted to clarify a couple things. I've Tanked just about everything in the game, so I know the build is successful, but there are some challenges you are just not likely to survive alone. But those challenges are intended for a team to tackle, Recluse is one, all the the Freedom Phalaynx at the end of LRSF is another. Every AT and power set combo has its strengths and weaknesses, and some tasks are beyond the limits of any character - for now. Don't be disheartened because you need "a little help from your friends" when facing down the biggest, baddest challenges in the game. They need you too.

    And you are?
    Are you new to this server?

    Are you a long time player/first time poster?

    You have a Lvl 50 Kheldian, do you have other toons you might also be known by that you played before your WS?



    As for me, I'm mostly known as "That #$%&*@$", but you can call me Ice.

  20. I thought maybe it was me, but after reading a couple observations here I'm left wondering if some alterations have made their way to live without being mentioned in patch notes. I too have noticed a difference in how well several toons behave/perform ingame since GR hit. Particularly, my BS/WP Scrapper and Elec/WP Brute. Previously, both were outstanding in all kinds of weather vs. a wide variety of damage types. But, these days they are decidedly average. They are by no means "broken", but there certainly seems to be something different about how they hold up in a fight...

    I feel there is something we cannot yet see...

    Something hidden... elusive.
  21. I'm going to borrow a wise man's words...

    "...you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view." - if you don't know who said this, leave here. Now.

    Back to the question at hand, one's actions might be cheered by others or they may be reviled for them. It all comes down to your own perspective.
