I'll never need to buy another Winter Pack again, but I feel bad for new players or players who didn't realize the Winter Packs wouldn't go on sale this year. Seems arbitrary and barrier-ish to me, but what the hell do I care, I've got mine.

When you PL your own characters, the doorsitters usually generate a lifetime supply of common/Uncommon salvage. Just throw 10x or 30x of each of them in the AH (but don't list them) and you'll always have salvage to spare.

Disappointing.

How long are you letting these bids marinate before calling them unfilled? I don't doubt the market has been janky lately, but I can't help but wonder if there's some less-nefarious, more-technical reason for it, considering it seems to be happening on the stuff that historically has the most movement. Then again, those are exactly the things some nefarious buttholes would try to manipulate, so, who knows. Of course, if you just farm a little every week, you'll rarely ever traffic in the AH, and you can safely glide past market shenanigans, no matter what hole they're coming out of.

NosFeraTu, madre?

Something important to keep in mind, while most people loitering around AE are there for PL/farming, some people use AE for the stories, and some AE farms aren't necessarily for PL/inf. I park all my 50s in PocketD, and run through Council farms just to pick up a catalyst. So it'll look like there's a Fire/Traps Controller or a Beam/TA Corruptor or whatever emerging from a farm, UT really, they just dipped in to kill a couple mobs and get their catalyst for the day.

Jack Frost has grown on me over the years; used to be he would freak out at the sight of a burning Oil Slick, but now he's been re-coded to actually hang around and take swings at things, I have come to appreciate his "Alright, who else wants an ass-beating?" ethos. I will forever mourn Singularity 2.0 (the version that was prevalent for most of Live). I suppose the 'black hole' effect on the HC version is kind of cool, but I would trade that in a heartbeat for the old-school impervious, inscrutable Singularity that would survive pretty much anything but the defeat of its summoner. An injured Singularity used to MEAN something - you knew you were in the deep stuff if your Singularity was getting nicked. Now it just means you missed a minion somewhere. Sad. As for pets I don't like... Fly Trap. The only occasion it ever arrives in time to actually contribute to the defeat of a mob, is if you summon it in the middle of the mob you're fighting. Otherwise, it's only good as an indicator of how far you've traveled since you summoned it. Fly Trap, you've got more legs than any other pet, how are you so fucking slow?

Relax, this is what the Electoral College is for.

I used to get mad about people opening presents and abandoning the spawns, but then I realized that people racing around gathering shit they don't need and giving zero fucks about the impact of their activities on others is the perfect representation of the season. So carry on, 'heroes.'

Not a 'beginner' but no matter how badly I've incapacitated myself, I can still drive my Claws/WP Scrapper in a productive manner. I imagine the simplicity and survivability would translate to a clear-minded sort who is just figuring out what's going on around them.

But it's a state of mind.

Well, whomever did the dirty work, I salute them.

Am I crazy, or was there a time when NPC vendors only listed the names of DOs and SOs, and you had to infer from the color what attributes they actually enhanced?

Thank you. I know they felt they had to match other blast sets for performative animations, but every time my character starts winging the Pistols around like a moron I silently hope I accidentally shoot myself and put an end to it.

Actually, with the way Scourge works, your best contribution is to work out of your secondary to begin with, then start finishing off mobs.

Mids is a great tool for laying things out visually, and it is invaluable at that... but their math, Oooh, says here, the blaster does 25x as much damage! Except, in the game the Corruptor is doing 45% -Res and after the first touch, every other tic is Scourging at that 45% -Res, and oh what's that over in the secondary? It's a bonus nuke! Plus, whatever debuffs the Corruptor has applied are making everyone else's attacks hit harder. I used to be pretty big on Fire/X Blasters, until I started rolling Fire/X Corruptors.

Ice/TA Controller. All the slows in one place.

If I were the devs, I would increase the duration to 24 hours, but on a 108 hour recharge, so we all blow our brains out trying to get perma-Fade.

If there's a build you want ideas on, chances are @JJDrakken has done a lot of the legwork in their megathread in the general Archetypes forum. I'm almost certain I have a Grav/Dark but I'll be damned if I can find it.

Hey now, they're getting less-illicit every day. We're probably only 100 years from them being 100% street licit.

Brilliant! But what does âÆòæƥƂ mean?

True, look what they did to Dr's Bausch + Lomb.
