Yeah, I tried those. Didn't care for them. I don't know why, but I really don't care for most of the wings available. It's just me. I think I dropped that one three-four episodes in. Great concepts, but the execution was... not that great. (YMMV of course.)

Yeah, since I'm currently avoiding housework or working on the blog post I should be working on... I went back and made an alternate version. I think this is a much better representation of Loving Sacrifice. Reversing the colors of the boots and gloves worked too, I just had a slight preference for this version.

Nice! I can't find any wings that I like/work well with my Super Sentai version. I fiddled a bit and came up with a Super Sentai interpretation of Loving Sacrifice. (Emphasis on the "a version", there's lots of armor pieces that might work.) Looking at it, maybe I need to reverse the colors - white using gold for highlights.

You had to spend a whopping 1% of your profit (or gross income, not entirely clear what that 250 million is) on yellow salvage? I have a hard time seeing that as a problem. I'm not seeing a flipper problem here. With "filled slowly" and "an hour", I'm seeing a "lack of instant gratification" problem.

Yes, Shift+Tab is "closest enemy"

Stolen!

You can save a copy of your build to disk using /buildsave

Now the challenge is Mecha-Maple and Angel-Maple! 🙂 🙂

I'm fond of the "wood and wallpaper" office maps, very classy.

Never hurts to gamble when it costs nothing! @Doc Scorpion <Better than buying lotto tickets, my wife gets all bent out of shape even though it's only $10 every other month or so.>

He says it's unrealistic because... it's unrealistic. There's not that much more to say. As an extension to base building, that's even more unrealistic. (Even if basebuilding wasn't a dodgy kludge.) A small map editor and a zone builder are... Apples and the thing least like apples you can possibly imagine.

I'd add "or not bothered by not playing at max difficulty levels", but otherwise... yeah. Quoted for truth. I'd be sympathetic to the argument that doesn't come into it's own until you hit SO levels, but it's a perfectly playable set.

Farmers, routine drops, and marketeers opening packs provide supply, flippers need not apply. And flipper "liquidity" comes at a price, because they take their cut out of the middle. Because they buy stuff that's already for sale and put it back out for sale... they're not really adding anything to the market that's not already there.

That would be... difficult to implement I think. The sticking point is that not all costume parts are available for both genders, and some have different models depending on the gender. How would a Null swap handle that? Or would you simply disconnect gender from body type? Not saying this is a good idea or a bad idea, only that there are code-level complications involved that aren't all immediately obvious. (What happens to gender locked badges if you swap genders via costume change?)

"This means that an account sync is no longer needed; your Live account will work on the Beta and Staging shards by default, and password changes will now be reflected immediately across all shards." The Sync function on the Beta Account center will be going away then? Just curious because it's still there.

Nice! That looks pretty good! What powersets? I didn't find any medievaloid/fantasyish costumes I liked, so that lead me to a more Super Sentai direction. (In her bio, she was inspired by Super Sentai to become a superheroine.) That also helped lead me to Fiery Melee, as Dark powersets didn't make sense for (to me) for a Super Sentai. That sounds... like an absolutely insane concept. And fun!

Tested saving/loading costumes files under the new (Mar 10th) patch. - Loaded a character on Live and saved the costume - Loaded the same character on Brainstorm, loaded the costume save file (successful) - Modified the costume and saved it to disk - Loaded the character on Live, loaded the costume save file, committed the change and exited the costume editor (successful) Seems backwards compatibility works, at least for a character that's already legally (robot arm) asymmetrical on Live.

Agreed. The controller that doesn't immediately spam his immobilize the moment the team makes contact may be the controller that waits a moment to see how the battle develops. (At lower levels, it may not have even recharged yet.) Or maybe the controller that knows how the team approaches battles and when it's best to fire off his controls. For example, I'll fire off early if I know there's badly used knockback on the team. I'll hold off if the tank or brute is doing a good job of bunching them up. Or maybe there's a nasty boss or mob with a special attack... I often chose to fire my holds at them first to quickly lower the overall threat level. Etc... etc... It's also a matter of aggro management, letting the melee types take the alpha and grab aggro keeps the alpha and aggro off of me. Absent knockback or some unusual circumstance, I've rarely found there was any particular value in immediately firing my immobilize. As subbacultchas says, there can be value in waiting a few seconds. That's why I enjoy playing controllers and defenders, the tactical game they play is ever so much more fun than the scream-and-leap often typical of the scrapper, tank, or brute. (Mind you, the latter is fun too when I'm in a mood for it!) While it's a matter of personal philosophy and playstyle... It's inarguable that a team can succeed with a controller who impulsively spams their controls, to my mind they're not really different than a defender who does nothing more than spam their heals. They're certainly contributing to the team, but not as much as they could contribute if they intelligently used the full span of their powers.

No offense, but did you even read my message? Did you even read the part you quoted? The part where I was specifically talking about things that aren't endgame builds? That aren't builds at all? Thank you for so eloquently proving the point that srmalloy and I were making - in the end it always circles back to endgame builds (often expensive ones) and grinding for inf to build them.

Chrome - and I don't see any background images either.

So. Much. This. There's a lot of theorycrafted builds and a few actual tested builds - but either way, they're endgame builds. Getting advice on what powers to take when and what's skippable while leveling... that can be like pulling teeth. Heck, getting advice on how the play a not-top drawer-endgame build can be difficult. Some people don't want to farm, they just want to play the darned game rather than run farms so you can run iTrials.

And there's been a warning and a link on the Tequila home screen for... at least a month now? At some point, you just have to say "anyone who didn't get the message... well there's nothing to be done about that".

The trick of course is to play intelligently - and stay within your limits if you want to live forever. Unless you've spent a stuff-ton of money, every AT and build has limits. (And often, even then.) My playstyle generally doesn't run to regularly spending stuff-tons of money.

Funny. My /regen scrapper solos and absorbs and survives alphas on a regular basis. (And did so even before I IO'ed out his regen.)
