Udder Barbarian? I think I've seen that character...

You know, when I read this I was reading it (the initial one I replied to, not this specific post) as a response to "so create an NPC or an option that drops *you* down to zone level.* Is that not what you were referring to with what I quoted on the opt-in bit? Or was I reading that wrong? Since if it was, I wouldn't call "just go to the trainer to be exemped down to the level" creating... pretty much anything but a menu choice, and can't really see the argument. If it *wasn't,* then I completely misread what you were saying.

To be clear, a "claim all" on item type or "claim all" for everything in character items? The first, I'd be fine with. The second I could see causing problems (some things, as I recall, get activated as you claim them, so if you wanted to say "oops, I want to email that to this character instead," you couldn't.)

No, they don't. We already don't. For some people the "game" is being min/maxed and running things at +4x8. For some it's PVP. (which already can exemp you and has at times *vastly* different rules.) For some it's base building. For some it's casual soloing. People already play different "games" in this world we're given. This being implemented wouldn't hurt you in the slightest.

No idea how difficult it would be, but I wouldn't mind.

Off the top of my head, and not just counting Solarverse's, there were icon changes/fixes, logo changes, a few costume changes, and power effect changes scattered around. Heck, look around and there's probably one that has everyone running around naked, because of course there is.

Well, I was. Just polished off a reuben and some fries, so....

... but everything asked for was completed. Unless you have soemthing that needs confirming for updating?

In some zones, you can kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiindasorta do that now. Go to Skyway. Talk to the contact for the first SSA. You're 20. Some stuff in zone is now kindasorta a threat for you. Don't even need to get Ouro involved. This, I think I could go for. And yeah, probably at a trainer.

Well, thanks. 🙂 Yeah, come to think of it, I'm kind of surprised as well, though other than vidiotmaps I don't recall much discussion *of* mods in general, which probably led to that situation. So hopefully we'll see some repackaging done to use this.

Hmm. As I'm reading (and seeing) it, it's only finding mods "installed by this tool." Is it possible to have it look for already installed ones? Granted it probably wouldn't have the names and such, but I've got (for instance) Vidiotmaps and the PB sound restoration on, which are unseen by this. Or would I just have to find the zip files and have it install over the top? (Which shouldn't harm anything, since it's the same files, granted.) Edit: Re-reading, it almost looks like they'd need to be repackaged with info for the program to see. Is this correct?

Just noticed the thread. Have to say I loved my EM/EA brute on live - even after the ET change - but absolutely *hated* it on that exact combo on a tank. Maybe because I played the brute more like a heavy Stalker and was more interested in punching single harder targets...

I'm going by evidence.

People were perfectly viable and survivable before them, and before there was side switching available for heroes to get to them, so... yes. There is no power or pool that you must have or you will not be viable.

Well, at least *1* death - you *can* rez right in the same cell the first death broke out of, should the RNG hate you. And yes, I agree the mansion doesn't. My point is that yes, if we're looking at bad design, there's another place that you can get into this same sort of bad ambush situation. (Hell, this is the same situation that contributed to me not playing Guild Wars - where you get killed and the thing that killed you can stand *right on top* of the rez station. At least here we don't get death debuffs making it even harder to kill them.)

Did it count the initial five merits you should get and not the bonus amount, or none of the 20? If you do an SSA afterward (I like 1, it's fast,) does it count those five?

Your replies indicate otherwise. Even Coyotedancer basically reiterated the relevant point.

Read. The. Rest. Of. The. Post. Which describes where rezzing in a jail cell does *not* equate to 'relative safety.' Hint: The most relevant point has a "3" in front of it. Though 2 is also worth considering. Regardless, this is another point where depending on what's going on ("triggering alarms in the pawn shop" plus "someone ran back and triggered more longbow ambushes" is rather a perfect storm, especially on a low to mid level, mid to large team) yes, you will get killed and have ambushes sitting there while you rez. Having the ambushes not lock on to you there (say, until you reenter the pawn shop, or at least wait until you're out of the PPD station to lock back on) would be a huge improvement.

You're willfully ignoring the other things mentioned frequently throughout this thread, and even in my own post.

1. Yes, however especially at lower levels you're burning time, END, etc. breaking down the door - at which time you're attacked by the ambush. 2. Depending on the team and how it's been going, you may have *several* ambushes sitting there weaiting for you, and toggles generally won't help. 3 ... especially if this isn't the first trip and you get into a cell with the door already broken. Which means, no, you don't get time to "collect yourself and retoggle." Which has been mentioned before in this thread. Know what else can be right there? The ambush. 🙂 Granted, these happen in teams that have quite a few things not go right - and my general way of dealing with it *is* to just solo them, but yes, I've been in this exact situation more than once. I'm not theorycrafting that "this could happen."

The spawn point, yes. In a mayhem mission, however, you get respawned in jail - which does not. Safeguards, you don't get ambushes anyway. So NPCs at the spawn point are fairly moot.

Eh, depends. On a Peacebringer, not so much. Warshade, you're depriving yourself of another Mire. That's about it. There's probably some silly metagame "oh but you can't slot these mules you'll never use," too. *shrug* Mind you, even when I try to play human only or biform, I end up playing triform - but that's from me enjoying it, not "not wanting to be held back."

Or reversed the ingredients so the honey's on the outside. And... yeah, that's an apt description.

Well, in limited testing with one in KO Blow, it... let them stand there.
