There already is no use for SOs. As someone here said earlier, levelling to 22 with nothing more than the basic five prestige enhancements is fairly easy, and at 22, you slot Lv. 25 crafted IOs and never look back.
This is an opinion not backed by fact.
CAN one do it?
Sure.
SHOULD one do it?
Probably not.
Can the process be simplified through the use of SOs?
Yes. -
It's basically a about how Resist and Defense performs before buff/debuff mods.
-
This is an indication that they've too closely coupled the application to the platform.

I very much remember this. Not so much first hand but, I know he played his character in Siren's Call. He was an asshat from all accounts. TPing people to drones, really. Then again, if you pvp'd in CoX you had it coming! Now, do you remember Sister Flame?
Funny he should ask...

Wait a college professor was a jerk on purpose!? All for an experiment? How could a liberal professor (assuming they are liberal) get away with hurting people's feelings? I guess we can just be glad he was not just trying to replicate the Stanley Milgram experiments. I suppose it's all in good fun anyway. I don't know or remember him, and I played from issue 1 till close. I thought World of Snorecraft was where annoying pests lived J/K...... no not really😄
If someone takes your kid and shows them pictures of dead puppies, is that okay?
There are certain protocols for doing social/psych experiments on real humansTwixt basically violated pretty much ALL those protocols.

Yawn..... Insert "anyone who doesn't think like me is a bigot" nonsense. Are you gonna call anyone that disagrees with you a "Yahtzee", next? 🙄
It's a lazy response.
Granted this guy's response is lazy and childish too.
But answering like with like solves/proves NOTHING.-

Even with the supposed reduced FPS, I'm noticing so graphical peculiarities on the XBsX for sure. If you've ever seen that weird vector projection effect (a line popping out of nowhere) in old games, then that's a thing for sure. It's rather annoying AF as I'll get random lines that may or may not relate to the companion's aiming, but it's mostly when just walking around.
Some of these things are, likely, because this is a kinda-sorta-almost-but-not-quite-actually-released Bethesda title.
So a lot of the behavior from this game are highly anomalous.
And we're likely to see better, more dependable performance and image quality metrics down the road as CPU and GPU optimizations work their way into the pipeline... -

I am playing on low settings for sure but it doesn't look bad. Gameplay is very smooth, no stutters, and transitions are quick. Images aren't as sharp as they would be at high settings but neither is my vision
. My point is that even with minimum specs the game looks good, runs fine, and is completely playable. A high end system will look better but it is by no means a requirement.
Yup. Makes no difference at all.

The game runs just fine on a low end system let alone a $4,000 rig. My system doesn't even meet the minimum requirements and I haven't had any issues. The game isn't for everyone, for sure, but system requirements is not show stopper.
And what LOD are you playing at? -

You had a notebook? We had to bind our pages together with other pages. And the paper was sharper back then, so we cut ALL our fingers. And the paper was dipped in alcohol, so it burned to bind the papers to the papers. But we did it. And we were THANKFUL for it.:-)
Remind me never to ask you what happened to your bottom lip... -

And we paid a sub for that, and we liked it.
Through snow, uphill, BOTH WAYS!
And if you complained about it, someone would trot out and tell you about how they once killed Hamidon, solo, with nothing but a loose leaf notebook!-

All these are true, but boosters do not provide a negligible improvement. That level 30 Volley Fire, when boosted to +5, is actually more effective than a level 50 piece. I see people 4-slotting Basilisk's Gaze for the recharge bonus saying "man I wish this set wasn't capped at 30" but if you +5 those enhancements it's like the set does go all the way to 50.
The set? Of course.
On a per-piece basis? Not so much. -
It's not really in a genre I care about.
Also, it's built in such a way that it's more "technology testbed". I've never really been about games that could make a $4000 system feel like a half-dead P3 800 and an overheated Voodoo1.
If you enjoy this sort of thing?
Knock yourself out!

And sorry about the Three Amigos joke.

Yes. The exorbitant time investment pre-Merits was nuts.
Most would play it once (or several times in shifts to complete) and get the badge.
Now, with Mission TP, Team Teleport, Mission Teleport, and a plethora (El Guapo: Do joo know what a plethora eez?)......of travel powers, the pain point of the TF (the time investment) is down to a far more reasonable duration.
I've done one BEFORE these changes. It took about 14 hours.
Now you can, if you're lazy, do it in under 3. -

This is true and it partially solves the problem, but the enhancement values themselves are still weak at those lower levels.
They remain weak, period.
Remember, Catalysts don't boost the enhancement value at all.
Nor do they allow enhancement values to continue to grow beyond the set's level cap.
A level 30 Volley Fire gives you the same base enhancement values as a catalyzed Volley Fire on a Level 50.
Boosters will enhance the values, but, as always, the improvement is negligible and the expense is out of whack with the improvement.-

Do Tankers get Regen?
No. Because regen numbers are such that, unless it is killed by a fast pulse damage, will be effectively immortal. -

I vendor common salvage and IO recipes until I get to my starting point. Habashy, DFB, and first two Hollows contacts I think generates 84 Convertors. 42 conversions to rare with an average of 3 mill profit means I'm sitting at over 120 million. I'm like level 13 and have yet to touch the Posi TF for more Merits.
I generally twink myself our with a few million.
Then dump all commons and salvage up to 35.
After that common IOs and continue dumping salvage.
I hit Incarnates with about 90 million in Inf. And, because I was pushing through all content, I was pulling in phat Merit action.
As such, the toon is ready for a "final" build. -
Exporting the data chunk works.
Exporting to InfoGraphic or Mobile doesn't. -
Than's for alerting to the update

Welcome back to another weekly discussion. Sorry I got delayed a bit this week due to Hurricane Idalia, but it ended up being pretty minor in my area (hopefully it ended up not causing any damage/loss of life for those of you also over in the SE).
Over the last few weeks I've noticed an uptick in new or newer players (welcome by the way), so I thought this week's topic could be a means for players to provide tips that they think will help out any potential new players.
Here's a couple to get started:
- It's not a race to max level. Take your time. Enjoy the stories along the way, as it will give you a lot of insight into the game's lore and direct you how to access particular areas of the game.
- Buying enhancements even SO's gets pretty spendy for a new player. You can usually get lvl 25-30 range generic IOs on the market for the price of SO enhancements. These never go red and give you a reasonable enhancement value all the way to 50, where you can save up for other enhancements you decide to buy. If you replace them via a respec when you slot out a character at lvl 50, you can save these generic IOs for an alt that you make later.
As always thanks.
Wish I'd known to pay closer attention to the tutorials.
I kinda breezed them.
This is how Hyperstrike made it into the high teens TOTALLY unenhanced (pain, LOTS OF PAIN!) and I didn't understand ED right at first and my first Terra Volta trial was MORE PAIN! LOTS OF MORE PAIN!-

So you're trying to make a quantitative argument based on a perception of qualitative difference/sameness?
