You overestimate the amount of free time available to some. Also, if I miss the thread in "unread posts", chances that I ever see it are slim.

Remove Quantums: OVER MY SMOKING, CHARRED ASH PILE!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Specs on your machine?

Restoration of Sentinel_ files was done for a VERY short period on SCORE, as the servers were being tested and spun up. The reconversion was an entirely manual process. But later changes in the back-end system completely broke the functionality and no work was ever done to make it forward-compatible. At this point, it's moot. None of the current server-runners OWES you your Live characters back. ESPECIALLY if they have to break their working setups to make such a thing possible.

I know this is 6 months old. But I need to address this. Without looking at the code yourself, you have NO WAY of knowing this. You have no way of even knowing if such an engine rewrite is even POSSIBLE. Now, OGL4 should (SHOULD) be fine since all the functions are backward compatible. As to whether it'll be "faster"? 100% SPECULATION

If you want to see the UI ACTUAL SIZED. Warning! BIIIIIIG! http://cox-supergroups.com/CoH-UI.jpg For things like running ship raids, I put the league listing in the center-bottom and I blow it up to 175% (Fills the center third), 100% at 6000+ pixels is...tiny and hard to manage. I also turn buffs off on my ship raiders (this particular one isn't one of them...yet). Team screen still says nailed to the chat interface. Pet screens hover just below the Target window.

I'm more of a Sears tire guy....

I stand by my words.

Stone is still the Def/Res toughness gold standard. With a good end-game build, IMNSHO, Invuln is second place. With a good end-game build, bio comes in a VERY close third. With incarnates AFTER the Alpha, it really becomes a toss-up. Of all the Resist-based sets, Radiation Armor, with it's medium regen and +Absorb, when combined with an attack set that synergizes well (Rad, Dark, etc), it's the absolute toughest of the Resist-based sets. If you want AoE, look at your attacks and decide which has the right combination of AoE for you. Just remember, while you can cook SOME enemies to death, higher-echelon enemies require you to do more than just stand there and "aura" them to death. Energy Melee looks to be a great deal better as an ST set now. Though, I'm trying it out now, and I COULD be wrong.

Yep. Buff the base recharge boost by at least 270%.

BAH! UNCULTURED PHILISTINES!

Still doesn't mean the usage isn't sloppy. The term "decimate" actually pre-exists English and has an actual, specific meaning.

English does not "borrow" from other languages. English stalks other languages down dark alleys, Hits them over the head And rifles through their pockets for loose grammar.

Again due to sloppy usage of "decimated" as opposed to "devastated". Proper usage is 1/10th...

Translation. Because of sloppy usage.

I'm in a couple Stone Armor threads. So it's entirely possible I'm getting corn-fused.

Unless you are now missing approximately 1/10th of your forces, you were NOT "Decimated". The term you were looking for was "DEVASTATED". THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE!

Honestly, most "tweaked" builds tend to fall apart at some point during the leveling process. I wouldn't recommend doing more than adding the "gotta haves" (The Endurance boosters in Health. Performance Shifter. The (+3% Defense) Resist IOs The (+Resist) Defense IOs. Stick to SOs until your 30's. Once you can drop a full 6 slots on Granite, look at an IO rebuild.

Or you could just...buy a PC...

Here's how I'd option-out a Granite build. PLEASE NOTE: This is an END-GAME BUILD. Trying to level up following this build plan will most likely result in pain. Lots and lots of pain.

Are you concentrating on a build around Granite? Or are you concentrating on a build that maximizes without Granite?

Are you trying for a Granite or Un-Granite build? Or trying to "all in one" it?

This is a "Blood From A Stone" (max Resists) build. Not a proc monster.
