Gearsinger

I think it's a joke based on the name. PEAT, as in moss, as in peat moss.

To those who think that solo players don't deserve the powers: I disagree.

I can play any powerset I like solo. If I want to unlock EATs, I can do that solo. It may have taken a couple months before the unlock level was dropped, but it was still available no matter the play style.

Now we're presented with a lot of new powers. Yay! I like new powers. Except some people think I shouldn't be allowed to have them because I can't team. Unfortunately for them, they don't pay my subscription fees, so they don't get to make my game decisions.

Paragon Studios can, though. They decided I have to pay a great deal of various in-game currencies and play the same character for months or years on end if I want to get these powers. I don't even know if City of Heroes will still be alive in 2.7 years.

No thanks. I've cancelled my subscription. It makes me sad.

When I had this problem (ATI card), turning off Ultra Mode water options worked to stop the crashing.

Maybe a bright aura like when you collect meteor pieces for a Shivan shard would help?

I'm really, really tired of hearing that not wanting to team is some sort of character flaw.

There are several powers in this game that give me crippling migraines. I don't play those powersets, but a lot of other people do. If I'm anywhere near them, I have to leave the area immediately if I want to function as a human being for the next two days.

Teaming is not an option for me.

Apparently, that makes me subhuman and unworthy of advancing my characters.

There are several graphical and a few sounds effects in the game that give me migraines. Previously, I dealt with it by not teaming and not playing those sets. Now that I can't earn all the powers in game in a reasonable time frame on my own, I'm dealing with it by unsubscribing.

As I mentioned in the other thread, turning off Ultra Mode water options should stop the crashing. Hopefully it will be fixed someday.

That sounds like the ATI crash bug. It may fix it if you turn off all Ultra-Mode water options.

The solo path has been calculated to be very long and expensive. I believe it's on the order of 1.6 billion influence per Very Rare and 2.7 years of playing daily and converting shards to threads to get Very Rares in the four I20 slots.

You can looks at some numbers in Dispari's guide.

Has anyone tried Ageless Destiny with crash nukes? Is it worth it? Or is it still better to just carry blues?

I've already stated that I intent to leave the game because of the addition of this grind. I feel like feedback against the grind was ignored. That's the position I'm posting from.

I find the soft control of Stone Melee to be really useful. I've been playing a SM/WP brute in Praetoria.

If you also play in Praetoria, be warned that Clockwork can really wreck Willpower's day. I turned the difficulty up because once WP gets Rise to the Challenge, I actually feel safer in a large group. Then the Clockwork taught me some humility. They have a lot of -regen.

Dispari's Incarnate Guide has much of the information you are after. And, once again, Zombie Man was kind enough to write a guide as well. Keep in mind that the issue is still technically in beta, so things may change before it goes live next week.

If you're like me, you have the English forums bookmarked. To get to the threads covering I20's beta, you'll have to go to the board home. To get there without following the link, or in the future, just click the link at the top right. There's a line of links leading to here: City of Heroes Forums > English > Player help > etc. Just click the one that says City of Heroes Forums.

For what it's worth, I have tested I20. The new content is interesting mechanically, and I'm sure it will be fun when it goes live. The first or second time. Repeating it after that is just not for me.

I did the Vincent Ross arc on my Fortunata. Even with all the ridiculous buffs at the end, a couple of the Legacy Chain guys got their earth immobs stacked on me, and I nearly ate pavement due to cascading defense failure. DDR is good stuff, even if you don't need it much of the time.

I agree. That's one of my favorite things about Villain and Praetorian missions. Another is the rarity of street hunts.

The Peregrine Island Carnie hunts kinda make me want to hurt things.

Envenom has a to-hit check, so unless you're using it as a set mule, you'll want some accuracy in it. I really recommend it, because Envenom is part of what makes Poison so good at taking out single targets.

I'm really inexperienced with builds, so that's about all I can offer.
