Mr. Apocalypse

Too bad, the most awesome goblin to ever grace this game, resides on a far superior server. The Snob Goblin of Excelsior server wishes you well finding the 2nd most special Goblin to receive your Goblin Award!

For testing I fired up 2 brand new toons, grabbed a 2x xp boost and sat inside a AE mission while I ran the mission with my spines/fire farmer for each one. I always use the same AE mission +5/8 when the last enemy was cleared, the new toon was almost level 21 (20 + like 8.5bars) +4/8 surprised me, because this new toon was level 21 and about 5 bars toward level 22 In the rewards window each mob was paying out at a higher amount @+5/8 vs +4/8, but something scaled the number of targets over the whole map and the total XP gain was less!

Here is mine. I have not played this one in a couple of years but it played well at the time Badd Cane - Blaster - Dual Pistols_Martial Combat_Mace Mastery.mxd

I have a Dark/dark/psi Dom. It is one of my favorites to play. It is also one of my most durable characters. I play all content at +4x8 and it take a major amount of me not paying attention in order for me to die. I included my build, I think the only change is I now use intuition alpha instead of Musculature which is what the mids build has selected.

Yep, I was just going off of my having the last version working, then having the latest upgrade failing to install properly until I added Dot net 8.. All the other required items must have already been on my system from the previous Mids or like you said came with Windows 10/11

I did not see it mentioned in this thread, but the new mids requires Dot net 8 to be installed. unfortunately it is not mentioned during the update. install MS dot net 8 first and the updates should go through without an issue

I agree 100% I have both on my Dark Dark, I originally was Musculature, but switched over to intuition.. I used musculature for the end mod help while I was trying to get ageless finished, then switched over to intuition after I was T4 on all the other incarnates.

here is my build, I have not played this toon since about a month after Symphony control was introduced. I built it up and then lost interest in the toon. It probably needs some work as it was my first draft, and I never really fleshed it out. Black Opera - Dominator - Symphony Control_Dark Assault_Ice Mastery.mxd

Whirling mace seemed pretty lackluster, so I swapped it for bash with no other changes to my build. My overall attack pace now seems faster with more animation flow, I have not seen any downside so far. are there any situations where I will really miss not having this power, or could I have slotted it better to make more use of it.? (Procs etc) here are both versions of the build. like I said they are identical except for one has WM and the other has bash. any advice or changes welcome.

I have been running AIO for cooling for last 20 years, never have I had one leak, ever. I have only used corsair, and out of 15 or so AIOs I only have had 1 pump failure and zero leaks

they are all great, but this one checks all the boxes.. well done!

But if you know how you can fly to one just outside of pocket D

It was a pretty sad day today, they announce 15% cut in workforce, and that they missed 2nd quarter projections. stock dropped over 20%

more bad news, Intel will be having a meeting tomorrow where they are planning to announce a 10% reduction in workforce approximately 10,000 to be layed off. I heard the news from one of my customers, but it was announced yesterday. it is all over the web.

My major issue with intel, from a semi-insider perspective, is they don't care anymore about the quality of the product. and they really haven't since the engineer purge between 2015 and now. lets also not forget the latest side channel vulnerability in the 13/14th chips, there was vulnerabilities with 11th gen, that required a performance hitting uefi software patch to mitigate. Until Intel, starts to care about the product more than the profit again, they wont se a nickle from me. I will buy AMD. I'm not having any illusions that AMD is any better, but ignorance is bliss in this situation. I see what I see everyday when I go into work, and the focus has been lost and the internal culture has been destroyed. They are no longer hiring based upon a "we want the best", but rather DEI has taken over the hiring process. While, at the same time They are pouring exorbitant amounts of money into the foundry business, and cutting experienced manpower. Three engineers that I know personally took packages to leave last week, they were all 25+ years with Intel. There were 100s more in other groups throughout the company that were offered packages to leave as well. Imagine a company struggling to make good product, offering their best up to 2 years of salary, and 1 years of medical coverage to go away, so that they can turn around and replace them with someone who just graduated college, or just immigrated from another country and will do the same work for half the money. This is what is happening at Intel. It is sad to watch as they destroy themselves from the inside out. Intel chip security issues PC world "downfall" vulnerability article
