Eva Destruction

And turning someone's thread into yet another round of Let's Argue With Venture is also rude, not to mention repetitive.

ON TOPIC: No, I would not alt-tab out while playing an arc, not for a Youtube video, not for any other outside material. I play CoX to play a game, not watch movies. Incidentally, I also hate cut scenes.

You have 500 characters for "boss unaware" dialogue. Any boss dialogue that actually uses all that space gives the impression of being a long-winded monologue, simply by contrast to the one-liners you usually get.

I've fallen in love with quite a few characters as I was levelling them up, and watching them steadily get more awesome. Then they get to 50, I vow I will get those last few purples I need to finish them, get one or two, and move on to a new project.

Then a few months later I log them in for a task force or something, remember why I loved the character in the first place, tweak their build a bit and set out to actually finish it. Right now I'm back in love with my DB/SR.

Calash should play "Freaks, Geeks and Men in Black" (161629) because it also makes use of chaining objectives to have the player more involved in the story.

Also, there is no pie.

If the timed mission contains a captive as a required objective, it will fail when the captive reaches the door. It will also fail if a required ally dies, even though the ally objective completes upon rescuing the ally.

Carnies below 40 may not spawn properly for heroes.

A possible solution may be to set your mission for 40+ and see if that works.

There are characters and players who require what you would call "killer GMing" in order to be challenged at all. They are as valid an audience for an MA arc as the guy running on Heroic.

Still broken. It was still broken on test when i16 open beta started, but I haven't checked since then.

The ITF, along with most standard missions, uses different captive spawn points. Those captives being guarded with three guys are all set to spawn points that aren't available in MA.

The captive points we use are the ones normally used for escorts and allies, as well as special captives like the sacrifices in Montague Castanella's arc. Those points have a guard group that increases with team size.

As for your boss guards, no idea. Were you using a map with small areas that don't allow for bigger spawns? What enemy group were you using for the boss and his guards? I have definitely encountered bosses guarded by more than two guys, solo.

You can't.

The closest you can get is an escort with the enemy set to "rogue," which will make the escort hostile to the player after being rescued, but the guarding group is, well, rogue.

Female Face 14 and Young Face 1.
Serrated Sugar, Glam, and Low Ponytail hair.
All my female characters wear stilettos or thigh-highs.
Miniskirts. Aside from one or two outfits with the pencil skirt, that's the only skirt I'll use.
Anything leather.
Lately I've been abusing the Witch Tight gloves.

I don't have a lot of male characters, but they all have Long, Barbaric or Ponytail hair. None of the shorter hairstyles appeal to me. They also tend to abuse leather pants, the various suit jacket options, and trenchcoats.

Rage and Targeting Drone. Aim and Build Up to an extent, but Rage and Targeting Drone, especially on a boss or higher, mean that defense sets might as well not have a secondary.

Instant Healing. Really, there's no point. You can't make a dent, might as well go make a sandwich.

Power Sink and Energy Drain. They're auto-hit and take off half your end bar. Drain Psyche too, it's right up there with the Ring Mistresses' Mask of No Recovery for You, and the effect lasts a good while.

Anything with a debuff that stacks to extremes due to a lack of variety in the enemy group. One guy with Darkest Night is fine. Five or six of them, not so much.

Special case: Fire armor EBs. Their resistance is so high that characters relying on fire damage might as well not bother.

As for standard enemies, CoT at Spectral levels are the only ones that really irritate me. I might avoid certain standard groups on certain characters, but there are none that I avoid entirely.

Well I admit I don't have a fancy chart. I'm just going on subjective observations taken in the RWZ, where +2s and +3s make up for their lesser rewards through higher kill speed and less risk of taking two +4 Chief Soldier swords to the face at the same time, which can drop my DB/SR.

Does your chart take drop rates into account?

My MA/Regen used to have a "you ain't gettin' up" build, with Air Superiority, and Kinetic Combat procs in everything except Crane Kick. The Ragnarok proc in Caltrops was especially amusing.

It was fairly safe, at least solo, since nothing could get up, but the kill rate was less than optimal and I was horribly vulnerable to lag death on teams. What with i16 making Crippling Axe Kick not look so stupid I can't stand to use it, I'm going to respec her into something closer to optimal.

I'm going to do +4/x8 for a bit just to see what I can handle on that setting (and cause I'm not a wimp), but then switch down to +2 or +3, it's far more efficient. +4s just take too long to kill, especially since I don't plan on downgrading my bosses.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was more, to force everyone into range of it. Even at 80 feet the only way you can stay out of range is to use Assault Rifle or Boost Range. So that's right out.

If it's an AoE it would be easier to get defenses up, since Blasters who build for defense tend to focus on ranged and AoE from what I've seen.

Two questions:

1) Is anyone running these things on Champion?
2) Would an all-Blaster ITF (no nukes or Shivans) be possible?

Sooooo....when we get the new difficulty sliders will the RWZ challenge become obsolete?
