flipside

Still missing it. I see where it says "Ability to change the colors of your Titles", but nothing on actually how to do it. I viewed the page on Titles but didn't see anything there on how to change colors.

Wait, we can do this? How? I completely missed this part of the reward, and ParagonWiki doesn't seem to have details on how to do it.

The server status page has been a shoddy mess for years. I never use it anymore. But if you are so inclined, have you PM'd Zwil or another community rep?

I used a converted hero to do this mission arc just fine, getting all the badges associated. Obviously a converted hero would not have these contacts unlocked, so this doesn't seem to be a requirement at all in doing those side objectives.

Ah, I see, reading comprehension fail on my part then. Thanks for the explanation.

Yup, and I have it. It was just difficult to line up shots with it in the middle of all that carnage. The couple times Judgement went off was fun though.

To give the game some depth and immersion? For all the reasons stated here about how actual "city" names exist in the U.S., I don't think it's any stretch of the imagination to assume that the writers/creators of lore in the CoH/V universe wanted to give some meaningful background to Paragon City. Giving them these names inserts some depth that the city aged and came to be just like normal cities do in the real world.

Didn't get to try this one, but I tried two other ones I found via the Brute forum thread. One was the Crey's ambush one and the other was named Frontloaded.

Both ran at +0x8 and +1x8, no bosses on either. I was quite surprised to find that my controller did amazingly, never dying and only dipping below 1/2 health once. I'm sure I wasn't every efficient however in the timing, but nothing was touching me either. I felt quite safe. This character has pretty paltry defense numbers, somewhere in the teens to low 20's on any position. But, none of that really matters when the inspirations are flying like rain and you can keep 3 purples stacked at any given time.

If I were to do this on a regular basis, I would need a second build with some ridiculous high recharge on it. My main sources of AoE damage are Frostbite and Ice Storm. Frostbite recharges fast but is low damage, even with all the procs I have slotted in it (except when most of them fire at the same time, at which I can obliterate an entire spawn with one application of Frostbite). Ice Storm is slow to recharge for something like this. I would need to get it perma for efficiency in this. I can lay down nearly 3 applications of Freezing Rain before Ice Storm is recharged on my current build.

All in all, I was impressed. I intend to go back and see how well he can do with upping to +2, +3 and +4.

Would you be willing to share which AE mission you ran? I'm having trouble reading the mission text in the video capture to try and find it.

Mez protection is rough, but thanks to the no-toggle-drop change it isn't as rough as it used to be (AA still drops, but thems the breaks). Incarnate Clarion has been a great boon to me in this area.

I have to admit the Psi APP is superior to Ice in terms of damage and utility, but I chose Ice for thematic reasons. But, with some ample recharge and now the Reactive Incarnate power at least Ice Storm is up often and puts out respectable damage.

Ok, I need to try out one of these missions tonight. I'm jazzed to see how well my character will perform.

Thank you for responding to that. I will trust the opinion of someone who is posting videos of such feats. I have been watching the threads in the Brute forums and they astound me, and give me a chuckle. One of these "fire farm" AE missions is a Hall of Fame mission currently in AE.


I didn't for a long, long, loooooong time. It wasn't until, maybe within the last year or so, I tried a completely different build setup from what I was accustomed to. I ended up liking it a lot, and Arctic Air ended up fitting in nicely. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but I'd like to put my 2 cents in as a convert.

Even tweaked to the gills, my Ice/Storm/Ice controller is still underpowered compared to some other controller powersets and combos. To me alone, I feel very powerful when playing this character, and is why I've played them for the majority of 7 years.

This should be expected. The original CoH content did not go all the way to 50 either (nor did CoV) until some time after release.

There was mention upthread that there will be an entrance from Talos Island hero side. That implies some ambiguity whether only characters in that range would have access, or if any hero could travel there via the Talos entrance.

However, all Primals can gain access to Praetoria via Pocket D/Studio 55 right now, so I am going on record as assuming that, at the very least, we could use the entrances in Praetoria to get into First Ward to at least see the zone itself.

Great suggestion!

But it's not a new archetype, it's a new powerset for a few existing archetypes. You're confusing several key terminology pieces in this thread.
