id go for this if only because i cant stand how hideous ice/stone armors are.

going to be going dark armor myself. Defensive Sweep seems to stack with itself and even without being slotted for defense, having two stacks of it is 30% melee defense. add in CJ, cloak of darkness, the steadfast unique, and some slotting on defensive sweep and i think i can get myself melee capped pretty readily.

...now to figure out if I can range/AOE cap, or at least make the soft cap with one luck. HMM.

Here's a bug I noticed: happened to me, a friend, and a couple randoms I've seen.

My friend and myself joined an iTrial team. We filled up and while zoning into the BAF the game broke up teams and got the players all messed up while loading. Here comes the problem: the first eight people went into team one and after that everyone else was on their own team. When the league hit the max of six teams, everyone that loaded in after that was booted out. This can be sort of worked around by whoever has the star quickly pulling people into teams, but it's a race against the speed people load in. The LFG window won't let you rejoin the event in progress (no button to do so) and the queue is useless even if you set it to join the first available trial (and will accept trials in progress).

Really frustrating. :c

i used to play the heck out of redside, pretty much exclusively, for the ATs. i find the hero ones really boring but redside itself was killing my interest for a couple of reasons:

1. just because its evil doesnt mean it needs to be a dump. its an ugly place, i get it, but its ugly pretty much everywhere.
2. the mission structure is/was a lot like this:
ARACHNOSARACHNOSARACHNOSARACHNOSARACHNOSLONGBOW
LONGBOWLONGBOWLOGBOWLONGARACHNOSCIRCLEOFTHORNS
its really sucks that theres all these different enemy groups (legacy chain, goldbrickers, snakes, coralax, ect) that pretty much disappear from the rest of the game between 20-30.

those are pretty much the two biggest reasons, #2 actually being bigger than 1.

i took a ninja/poison mm to 42.

most frustrating thing i ever played, ninjas were worthless.

still managed to solo AVs but thats what MMs do anyway.

With my demon/pain I ditch the demon squad and go healbot with resistance debuffs with a buddy. We split off from the rest of the team and duo crates. It actually works p. well.

trials are pretty easy now that more people know the strats that don't in the trials and people generally have a few more incarnate abilities than before to make it pretty easy. although tbh, i haven't used the LFG tool in a while because it makes teams that barely meet the minimum number required/are too small and doesnt fill them back up (although i had a lambda trial we did start to finish with 9 people, when it got knocked down to 7 it was a loss). gg usin' global channels/hanging out in RWZ for a premade (at least then it'll have like 24 ppl)

as far as "takes too long solo", hate to be one of those ppl but this level of incarnate stuff obviously isnt meant to be done solo. the fact that if you really try you can KIND OF get this done solo in eighty years is probably off. i mean, yeah if you convert a billion shards to threads you can do it but my PoV on it is that the shard -> thread conversion is meant as a supplement to actually runnin' the trials and/or still getting a little bit of progress of helpin someone with a TF or something.


shoot i only know ONE person ingame who is getting put off by this but hes been playing for like three years and his main still hasnt hit 50 (with some help from me he finally hit 45 lol)

Man, I just want Marauder and Mother Mayhem to shut uuuuuup

oh my god, these scenes are written like they're speaking to two year olds and then after the villains have explained it the captions for the mission come up and explain what's happening AGAIN

i know i'm an idiot but maybe the devs could stop writing to me like i've got a bad case of the downs, plz

And the first thing the defender says is (fyi, this is verbatim): ((ugh, I can't deal with a mastermind, especially one with demons. Sorry))

Haha, what the heck?

I've got a tech-themed Shield/Axe werewolf named Iron Rampart. While technology didn't make him a werewolf, being a giant slab of hair and teeth could only take him so far and technology with that is taking him further. Personally, I think he looks pretty awesome:



There's nothing wrong with a tech werewolf. How much use will savage claws be against fully armored Rikti Soldiers? What will the hair and muscle do to protect them from things like the KRONOS Titan? And what about (if this applies to your guy), they encounter someone thinking ahead and picking up some silver bullets?

Some people said that using a sword makes them a "man", but I think that's kind of a copout response. Swords, axes, ect, are all INCREDIBLY brutal weapons. They're still tactile and it's not like they're shying away from the fight.

Better solution: get rid of pet collison. Bam. Masterminds have their bulky pets, other players don't get stuck in them.

"It would look bad!" It looks just as bad, if not worse, to have players get shoved around and blocked by some stupid NPC pets.
