Or they have them but refuse to shove them through the screen and share.

This! The behavior described is harassment (repeated after being asked to stop) but its more juvenile, along the lines of 13 year old boys, rather than sexual harassment. Now I am probably gonna get myself in a heap of trouble here, but I have a dad, an ex-husband and two sons in their 20s, in addition to many friends and acquaintances of the male persuasion, and I have found that most men are just big 13 year olds at heart. Juvenile immature stuff is gonna happen. If you need to report it, report it. I haven't seen anything like what @Hexquisite describes so maybe its server population or whatever.

I have recently learned to use the star system in-game and the folks who have 1 star are my avoid folks. Self described healers, like the one dude who created a team but wouldnt set the mission until he entered, then said okay y'all go do damage I am a healer. Or egotists, like the tank that joined a team in progress then said why is anyone but the tank drawing aggro? while we were steamrolling. Or the wanna-be coaches who tell you every single thing you gotta do, okay folks we're gonna go left and I want you blasters to stay in the back and scrapper you follow the tank...blah blah blah. Three stars go to go-getters who will at least form a team but have no real skill for leading, the tank who has to wait for his buffs before charging in and the folks who follow along okay but don't bother reading team chat and seem to wander around confused most of the time. Those, along with what some other folks have listed, are my current peeves. The list changes daily with my mood 😝

Lag is usually user side (slow hardware like me) or network side (a hiccup somewhere in your connection or that connection to the game). If you describe the lag you are seeing, maybe show a couple netgraphs during laggy activities, someone might can help you resolve the issue. Also check your ping, that might be useful info. Good luck!

I enjoy any teams that are chatty and fun. I jump into the fray with wild abandon and decimate the foe. I farm when I need cash or zen time.

Many unidentified persons bearing placeholder names are deceased. I would suggest a necro MM with a zombie theme.

Ok since most of my PvP sets seem to be procs, I think the consensus is I can leave them attuned as it doesn't hurt, but to pull the non-procs and get plain versions I can then boost. All my purples are either ATO or winter so attuned is good as that's what makes them superior. Thanks for the info folks! Its hard committing all this to memory so maybe this thread can stay around for reference later 😁 Happy hunting!

Everyone always says, "Don't attune purple or PvP sets, they act attuned anyway, its better to boost them." I'm just learning sets and juggling bonuses and such, and worked up a decent build for my current staff/inv brute on mids. I entered the game (after the serverpocolypse last night) and proceeded to buy the enhancements for my build from /ah. Thanks to someone on discord last night, I found https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/PvP_IO_Sets which details the sets that are considered PvP, as well as announces that they behave as attuned. I don't know why, but I assumed that ALL the enhancements that act attuned without being attuned would be purple. These are not. So my build has a couple Glad Armors, a Shield Wall, and some Panacea, all of which were purchased attuned from /ah and slotted. Now, to my questions: Should I unslot these and use unattuned versions instead? If so, should I boost them once I have switched them out? Also, I have plans for some Superior Brute's Fury and Superior Unrelenting Fury as well as some Superior Avalanche, which are all purple. Being superior, do they come in plain (no swirly pretty border) which can be boosted? Procs cannot be boosted, so if its a proc (Panacea comes to mind) would it be better attuned or plain? Thank you all for your help and guidance, I swear that one day I will know stuff! 😄 Happy Hunting.

@GM Tahquitz holds the power....merely threatening the servers with intervention spurs them on to behave 😝

There was a song a few years ago, the kids were still in school, by I think Katy Perry. I asked the kids in the car on the way to school one morning "what the hell is a Greek caliope?" Once they figured out what I was talking about they laughed and said "no, Mom, she says agree politely." Of course I have a toon named A Greek Caliope 😝

The man with no name! Nice!

Oh I think I failed then, I dunno what my post count is and I rarely squint hard enough to see what my forum rep is. And howdy! Edit: oh hell, I am 150 off! Gotta stop posting til 150 more likes come my way *taps foot and looks at watch* Anyone who 'likes' this post I will assume wants me to shut up already 😝

I have fallen in love with sentinels, so my opinion is certainly biased, but who's isn't lol Sentinels are billed as ranged scrappers but they don't really deal enough damage for that. They are more like ranged tanks except they don't hold the aggro as well. They take the alpha better than blasters and will remain upright 99% of the time. I have often found myself in teams with less.....enthusiastic? players who seem to stand back then load up in buffs and insp before charging in. Even tanks and brutes do this. As that is kinda opposite my playstyle, I tend to charge first and insp as needed, I find teammates following me through maps rather than the 'leader'. This works very well on sents, and they allow me to begin blasting away while still at range before I have completely closed to melee. Closing to melee is a whole other issue, but you wanna compare blasters and sentinels so we will save that topic for another day. You say you havent made a sent so I strongly encourage you to try one. Beam/regen is a nice fun easy pairing. Good luck!

Amen!

They did a reboot of all the servers, that's why Reunion was affected.

Sometimes after a rename characters on the character select screen end up on top of one another, two characters taking up one slot. Try dragging some of your characters to an empty slot and see if the lost one is hiding underneath. Good luck!

Plenty of fire farms you can hire on to secure the door 😝 If you make a PB you get fly at level 1. Use fly to collect all explore badges in all zones, explain to folks what you are doing see if you can sit in on TFs and monster kills for badges without dealing damage. I think explaining to folks what your doing they will be glad to help. Also look up the lowest damage badge and maybe give yourself leeway, don't deal enough to earn that badge but you can still deal 1 or 2 points here and there for confuse purposes etc. Be very careful of holds and immobs because many sneaky sneaky deal damage. Was on a DFB once where glue was damaging the cadavers...its crazy.

There was a cat in the band?!!?

Okay, not sure if it is WAI. I had a staff/inv brute with all the power picks and slots portioned out but nothing filled in. Ran the bonus wizard electing top to bottom looking for defense (all) then recharge time. For some reason it moved 4 extra slots to stamina but left them empty, so six slots in stamina but only 2 filled. Many other powers were also empty which leaves me room to futz with more bonus stuffs but why would it move 4 empty slots to stamina? Still a fascinating tool that will definitely help me as I learn sets and bonuses and such..thanks!

Just happened to pair my sons PB with my grav/storm troller tonight because they were same level.....chaotic KB fun 😁

Find wherever tequila is, find the one with the shot glass icon, should be tequila.exe, right click and send to desktop or something similar. I like to right click and pin to taskbar so its easier to find. Edit to find it use windows search for tequila.exe If you arent on windows I know nothing Good luck!

Nerf fishing, I see too many fishing poles.

I am aiming for more but I gotta work up to something witty and insightful, heartfelt and wide-reaching. Its a stretch for a simple smartass from Texas 😁

They do not. Best guess is best option 😀

/jranger Also...hmmm Tanker Taco Tuesday....brb gotta find a large crispy taco shell. 😝
