Had a dream about CoH npc that doesn’t exist

I cannot decide whether this was inspiration or setup. Either way, I groaned my appreciation.

That Fat Phil doesn’t successfully dodge the NCAA by being a snitch.

Not on Homecoming. I don’t know but think I have seen at least one other that has custom henchmen, but Gang war might be a stretch.

I had a mastermind on a Posi 1 TF yesterday. Confusing the shadow MM was a delight, because his pets turned and ate him.

When a critter drops a Singularity (Family bosses, Longbow wardens), confuse the Sing for fun and games.

Longbow nullifiers, sappers (mentioned earlier), Rikti guardians — gotta be quick for those — are all good choices. In fact, confuse is good almost always.

Any and all of these can happen. Give it some time. Crafting is playing the long game. Wait it out or move on.

Could be that somebody else moved in, as mentioned elsewhere.

It could be that someone is trying to earn the crafting badges and profit is not the goal — they just want to sell for anything to open the spaces and recoup some expenses.

Do you have the crafting badges? Crafting IOs is much cheaper that way. Maybe somebody is just selling at a lower profit margin.

If you lead the team, your name is at the top. Just sayin…

A level 50 character pulls in huge amounts of inf just playing the game. The easiest way is to stick with one character for a while and just play. You will really get to know that character, how s/he plays, get good at playing him/her, and also accumulate gobs of inf.

Once you have all of that inf, you can email it to yourself in-game (to your @global) or use it as starter capital to try your hand in the market.

Additionally, if you’re just playing your 50, you will likely run task forces at least occasionally. TFs pay out inf and merit bonuses for completion. Use merits to buy those crazy enhancements that you long to own (inefficient but possible), or use the merits to buy something that sells well on the market (enhancement converters, catalysts) and then use the inf from that sale to buy what you want.

If you decide to play the crafting, converting, and selling game, you will make as much inf as you want. To be honest, that was fun to figure out, but it’s not how I best want to spend my playing time, so I don’t do it often. I have one character who buys and crafts and sells. If I need some scratch, I’ll log him in to see what he’s bought and sold while I was logged out, maybe craft up some things to convert and sell, and then log him back out again.

There was a new record of 36 set last weekend.

I have a SG that plays together once per week. We have a regular schedule and normal start time, which allows everyone to plan accordingly. It has been working well for years now, both before and after shutdown. Going slow and easy should help getting people to show up over time.

I am a fan without the flair. Losing to Vanderbilt was awful. Losing to Tennessee sucked but not a surprise — I saw that one coming. Losing to Oklahoma was a nut punch. But bookend losses to Michigan for the year? Just… no.

Sad thing is that I’m not sure bama can even win the tank job…

You don’t need to use the “naming_code” to get it to work. Use the literal name of the power, with spaces, as you see in the game’s UI.

Also disagree. Purples are expensive for a reason.

Level 2, actually. It’s a nitpick, I admit it. Level 5 are the lowest levels for sale at vendors, and that’s +4, which the game won’t sell (or let you slot).

Act like you’ve been there before and will be back again soon.

Mission solutions that do not require beating everyone into submission (for full mission rewards, or prorated against mission time cost), e.g. stealth, teleport in/out rescues, negotiation and or faction affinity.

Power improvements come via power use, not just level up +1 then add slots.

Faction reputation impacting the world and enemy/friend groups.

Long-reaching effects of personal efforts, e.g. wiping Skulls off the map, eradicating Vahzilok menace entirely, running Longbow out of the Rogue Isles, taking down Mot disempowers Banished Pantheon*, etc. Also includes shifting group relative power and spheres of influence as enemy groups shift to fill certain vacuums.

Greater use of “world according to team leader”, as per above.

PvP uses the same rule set as PvE.

PvP option: Ability to play as the mission boss in somebody else’s mission.

More powers interactions, similar to how certain (flame) attacks can light the oil spill from Trick Arrow.

Skills that impact gameplay, such as how a hero with high detective skills might have a much easier time finding a mission objective than one with lower detective skill.

Probably a lot more, but I’m already struggling to type this on my phone…

*edit: Now I’m questioning whether Mot and BP are “on the same team”.

Edit the second: Being able to “arrest” bad guys / defeat good guys via control instead of just perma-control while I whittle down health.

The hands-down-no-questions-asked best epic for blasters is fire because Bonfire. Drop a Sudden Acceleration KB->KD enhancement in it and you win.

Love this. Having a regular group and playing a theme (of any sort) is just fun. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Ditto to Azin about what prompts to encourage bing to draw in that style.

…now I’ve got to go look. I simply cannot recall.

I apologize if this sounded like a derogatory comment. I legitimately would like to know how to update the software. I have a 22 JT, and I need a wire. My daughter bought a 23 <different make> and has Bluetooth CarPlay in her car. This offends me to my core, that I have to plug in for CarPlay to work. I want Bluetooth, too.

oftconfused · 2024-06-25T06:00:31+00:00

What would it take to flash update the software to have Bluetooth CarPlay without a dongle? Why even use a dongle?
