Last I heard, no.

I might try this if I have time...

So, here's the deal. Yesterday, I re-upped my account for a bit. Prior to that, I had an idea for an arc. The arc involves someone infiltrating Longbow. So, obviously, I'd be using a Longbow tileset. I start the first mission, select the Longbow tileset, then realize that my plan called for having a mission before that mission. So, I select a different tileset. I finish that mission, and log for bed.

Today, I planned on making the mission I started to do yesterday but then skipped. I type in /architect, and strangely, I can't seem to find the tileset I KNOW I chose yesterday.

It is there, right? I'm not going crazy, am I?

I took down Wails, Tales, and Hell's Bells (188867). If you want, you can rate The Guardian Diggers & The Brainwashed Miners (131500) instead. It's still only at 5 ratings.

Ehh... I mostly listen to my Last.FM station through the Steam web browser. That said, it still feels odd to play the game with the speakers off... like I need to hear the sounds of my powers firing.

What? You buy TOs? I never do that, even before IOs were introduced. They just don't provide enough bang for your buck. Hell, even generic IOs are better.

As I said in-game today, probably not... I have to run my folks to the train station today... sorry...

For all of those people who are making them but not seeing anyone play them: How are you getting the word out about your arc other than just posting them in your sig?

[/ QUOTE ]
Play people's arcs. Critique. Request that they play mine and trade critiques. I don't expect 5-star trades, just an opinion from one MA craftsman to another.

Lately, I've been having a ball working up my new little shield scrapper, Mr. Xcitement, and I wanted to do some TFs on him as I level him up. Since he's 24, that means Sister Psyche... and that means Freakshow, people. So, who wants to hand Clamor her head on a platter? Let me know who you're bringing, if you're interested. (leave character name, AT, and level)
As for time, I'm thinking 1 PM, EST, this Saturday the 6th.

Might I recommend one of my arcs?

It's minorly challenging, with a buffet of varied Elite Bosses, one served in each mission. Try your hands at it. One or two of the EBs may pose problem for you depending on build (my Regen scrapper was slaughtered when one the EBs fired Drain Psyche), but it should be reasonably soloable on a scrapper in his late 20s-early 30s.

Hello. Recently came back to the game for a month after an 18-month hiatus. If my money holds up, I'll stay even longer.
Anyway, after doing a couple of ITFs and a Statesman TF, I've noticed some people typing up links in chat that, when clicked, show the info for a particular recipe, piece of salvage and power. I really don't remember CoH having this when I last played, and trying to put the names of whatever inside square brackets seems to... only make them look like they've been put inside square brackets, rather than bolded bracketed links. So, how do I impress my friends with this cool trick?

Well, it's starting now... almost... waiting for people...

Yeah, I'm posting this while we wait...


[edit:]Yeah, we started. One mish in. tore through those Vahz... looking optimistic, but I'm born optimistic.

Hey, all... came back into the game after a year-and-a-half break. After my buddy got his first redside 50, I rolled up a Stalker (Elec/EA) to join him as he raises his Spider. His Spider is now a Bane, and my Stalker just got Stamina. Now, I'm looking over all the powers I skipped to get Super Jump and Stamina. Entropy Shield and Power Shield are super-obvious picks. I'll have Energy Drain and Thunder Strike coming up. That's 8 levels of power picks right there... so what do I grab at 30?
I'm looking at Chain Induction. I remember when Elec Melee came out for Brutes and Chain Induction was a bit buggy. It wouldn't carry Fury (or other damage buffs)... it would jump back to hit you... it'd killsteal. I'm not one to dig through 18 months of patch notes... does any of this still apply? And is it a decent pick for a stalker? I'm hoping I can use to have fun with an AoE-centric Stalker.

What happened to the last topic about this? I know I made a post on this, but it seems to have disappeared...

Ah, well... count my lv. 14 MA/Shield Scrapper, Mr. Xcitement, in.

Just copying off of the post I gave in the Live announcement, because I'd think this would be nice for you to look at. Just... if you try to solo it, drop it down to difficulty 1 and don't be a Mastermind...
Arc Name: Wails, Tales, and Hell's Bells
Arc ID: 188867
Faction: Heroic
Creator Global Name: @MowDownJoe
Difficulty Level: Hard. Willpower proves to be brutal on AVs... be prepared for that. There's actually 3 AVs total (and a recurring EB), but he's the most notable in difficulty. Also, Wailers.
Synopsis: Only in Paragon City could you have a superpowered rock band that calls themselves Ironcape. Their fans are known for being rowdy, but they've never been known to riot until now. And what's with these demon sightings at their shows?
Missions: 5.
Other details: Expect to mostly face a custom group and Wailers. There is also cameos from Longbow and the Midnight Squad.

Never, ever start an ITF with more than two sidekicks.

1 was sk the others were exmped

ITF I was on last night had 4 SKs. We finished in 1:39. I had a blast.

I've been on ITFs with 0 SKs that fell apart.

It's not the lackeys. It's the team makeup. Some teams are just doomed to fail no matter what.

Exactly... I came back to CoH after the reactivation weekend, and my first ITF ever was with my Rad/Cold Corruptor getting lackeyed up with two other SKs. We blasted through it, and we just dogpiled Romulus at the end (to my chagrin... I figured those things MUST'VE been important... sure didn't seem like it until he used Strygian Return 5 times...). Finished in 1:30.

I wish I didn't just see this until now...

I remember being able to 6-slot my AR/Dev blaster's attacks with damage.

Congratulations Ion!

What kind of VEAT are you going to run first?

Soldier, from what I've been watching.

I want my Ninjitsu Scrapper damnit!

[/ QUOTE ]

Since it looks like Stalkers will probably never get Shields, I have a feeling Ninjitsu will end up staying unique to them as some sort of compensation.

The comedy of Hide with a shield as the tool is something that can't be underestimated.

No one seems to pay any mind when Solid Snake's cardboard box appears out of nowhere. I'm sure they'd pay no attention to the shield leaning against the wall.

Title: "The Guardian Diggers & The Brainwashed Miners"
Description: "A treasure hunter's dig is stopped short when strange mole statues come to life and start lashing out against anyone that tries to defile their sacred home. (Warning: Many Elite Bosses ahead. Missions 1 and 4 contain Snakes, who don't exist in the level ranges between 36-44.)"

My first arc. Couldn't really think of a good plot, but I tried. If they let us have double-boss spawns that are just conversing in the future, well, we'll see.

Set it on the lowest on my scrapper for testing purposes, because the first EB was kicking my [censored]. (Regen Scrapper vs. Drain Psyche... yeah, that was going to go well.) Also tried testing it on my Mastermind, but then I realized that the one Snakes mission meant I was going to be facing +6s (whereas my Scrapper was facing -1s... odd, that).

[edit:] NM... On my Brute, on the middle setting, the boss spawned as an Elite Boss. Still puzzling why with my scrapper, the other Elite Bosses spawned as Elite Bosses except that one.

I was testing my first arc, and I noticed something peculiar. I created a custom group... basically, a bunch of miners enslaved by molemen. All the mole-people are Elite Bosses, and you fight per mission. Anyway, in one mission, the Moleman that you have to beat won't spawn until you grab a glowie. Simple enough, and by design. Would've preferred if he was an ambush, but I didn't see that as an option. However, when he and his group spawns, the Moleman is a boss. Not an Elite Boss, like he's designed to me. Just a plain jane boss that my scrapper takes down in 6 hits, tops.

Is there a reason for this? My other Molemen appear as Elite Bosses.

That cake is a lie!

...And pohsyb escaped from the box? GET 'EM!
