Here's my ship raid leader (well, one of them)

Well...

Provoke, or similar tools, isn't required for non-Tanks. It's simply a "nice to have" if you plan on doing aggro soft-control. If you're just going to bust and bash? Pick something more useful.

... Unfortunate wording for the win? 😉

This is what happens when you don't check references for your installers. You get half-assery like this...

Uh. Ice DOES have DDR. Something like 51% or so...

Ice is about Mitigation and Aggro-grabbery. With Icicles, you should be able to grab aggro off just about anyone. Just remember that you are, primarily, a Defense-Centric Tank. So if someone can reliably crack your Defense, you're in <Boss Nass> DEEP DOO DOO! </Boss Nass>

Sorry, I had fun watching. Was it a mess? Sure. And the fact that they managed to actually get a complete wall-banger of a villain like Starro into the film just gobsmacked me.

Honestly, just get the 520's. In the 1GB variety. If you're going to be beating on these drives, you want the higher capacity. As it translates into longer device lifespan. They're also readily available NOW. With the 530's, you're going to be contending with stocking issues for several months. The actual performance difference is going to be unnoticeable for you without benchmarking software. As someone who bought the Taichi product for his X570 board? The board itself isn't bad. The Killer NIC is absolute CRAP! I've only had my system together for 3 months and I'm OVER the Killer NIC. I ordered a nice Intel 10GB NIC. It arrived today, sans the full-height bracket. So I gotta wait for that. But once it goes in, I'm disabling the Killer NIC and uninstalling all the Killer software. And that's pretty much all the ASROCK boards offer. Pick someone who delivers either an branded Intel or a Realtek chipset. In my estimation, spend the extra you're currently "saving" over the AMD rig and buy the Asus ROG Maximus APEX board.

This is probably a badly optimized build. But it's tanky!

Likely something was moved in the costume ordering. It's not actually "invalid". It's just that you need to fiddle the costume to reselect the item in its new designation.

For AMD, TR4 and STR4x are Threadripper platforms. These chips are nearly identical to the the Ryzen series with higher core counts and slightly different multi-core optimization and tight speed-binning. They're functionally identical to the server-grade Epyc chips. Forget about Threadripper, Threadripper Pro or Epyc. The chips alone are outside your budget. The current connector for Ryzen is AM4. Here's a suggestion for an AMD platform. Note: I've included the 5800x. I ALSO included the 5900X. Given the choice, you're better off with the 5900X. It's a $70 flex. Considering you're not at your $1300 max build level due to the board and the memory being under-budget, $70 is eminently doable. I COULD give you a similar Intel machine. But, frankly, AMD is where it is at right now. A 5900X and the Intel 11900K are virtually identical in gaming. Basically they trade the wins back and forth on a game-by-game basis. In actual WORK, the 5900X annihilates in multi-threaded workloads. Intel simply can't make up for the extra 4 cores and 8 threads. Though, in single-threaded workloads, the 5+Ghz 11900 wins. PCI lanes: Intel: 20 AMD: Chip has 24 (4 reserved for motherboard interconnect). And the motherboard has an additional 20 (4 of which are for the motherboard interconnect). So, in the end, you have a total of 36. To get any more, you'd have to step up to either Threadripper or EPYC. https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/sd/6eDG3vWq_-_XfNM_-_CoK7weIA== 64GB RAM And with a board with 8 SATA, scads of USB ports and 2 M.2 slots. The power system on the DH board is an OVERKILL setup. And the networking is NOT Killer NIC CRAP. One of the things I accepted when I bought my ASROCK board was that I'd have to put up with Killer crap with minimal Intel support. Already over it and have a nice 10GB Intel dual-port NIC due to arrive on Monday. Lots of fan headers. But if you're going nuts with fans, buy a couple fan hubs and gang them together (front panel, top, rear). It allows you to set fan profiles in gangs as well. For NVME, I recommend the Samsung 980 Pros, or the Seagate FireCudas of the latest generation. And as big as you can afford. They're not really hot-swappable. And you're going to want duability, especially in the scratch drive. The Samsungs are slightly more performant. The Seagates are slightly more durable. About the only board that's more desirable right now is the as-yet unreleased EVGA X570 board. But we don't know how far out that is. As for the big difference in platforms, it's Infinity Fabric. Old NVIDIA AMD boards used a technology called HyperTransport instead of the conventional "bus" architecture. Infinity Fabric is a successor technology for handling interconnects and communication between devices in the system. It's not very OC friendly in terms of "Big Numbers" overclocking. At least in the current generation. But it's still an extremely high-speed, low-drag way to let all your devices talk to one another.

What do you expect when you get "disarmed"?

The new film is just as messy as the first one. But that's part of its charm. And the stand out performance? KING SHARK! The Sylvester Stallone role I never knew I needed in my life!

Here's a sample out of my "Mo Durable" line, as opposed to my standard "Framework" build. It's already set up to fly. And here's Hyper's current build.

Thank you for illustrating my point.

I've run hundreds of raids and events in my time in CoH (Mein Gott! Has it been 13 years already?) I prefer to call in REQUEST. And I don't care which channel people use to ask for the invite. I just find PMs to be easier to see in the Broadcast Spam that inevitably spawns around a growing raid group. That's just me. I'm kinda weird. And I'm told my parents took turns dropping me on my head as a baby and young child...

It's not that they CANNOT. They WILL NOT. Because, frankly, it's NOBODY ELSE'S BUSINESS. Even the person lodging the complaint. The most you have an expectation of, as a complaintant, is the GMs telling you "We'll take care of this." as you put the offender on ignore. Beyond that, you are owed nothing. What someone perceives beyond that? Frankly, is that person's problem. NOBODY ELSE. Again, community "drama" is corrosive and will kill the community faster than anything else (save maybe lawyers, and THEY are corrosive in their own way). You are playing a game, provided to you FOR FREE (AS IS). You get the choice to either enjoy the game or not. And tools are provided to you, as if you were a real, live ADULT, to allow you to tailor your exposure to others. The fact that you have GMs at all is a blessing. Look up defamation. Libel. Are most of the people here going to sue them for libel? No. But every community has their share of crazies. Everyone's entitled to be wrong every now and again. Even you. I'm sorry if the GMs responses aren't "good enough" for you. But they're all you're getting. Hopefully you can find a way to make peace with that.

Simply because someone is being a creep/perv/jerk doesn't mean the GMs are going to air the dirty laundry to the community. Quite simply You Do Not Need To Know. If the GMs tell you "It's handled.", you take that as "It's handled." and move on. Anything else gives rise to an endless cesspool of community drama llamas. No Thank You!

Try doing this: Slots/Enhancements --> Slots --> Auto-Arrange All Slots It may be that you're pulling a slot that was placed at low level and trying to insert it into a power taken at a higher level.

Just call me Beavis... Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire....heheheh

Just as an FYI, Black Scorpion's arc is about the shortest and most straightforward for unlocking Patron pools.
