Is there a badge for standing around with your thumb up your ass while someone else "earns" your XP for you?

Rikti taste like smoked chicken wings. I'm in.

There are badges for accumulating debt, and you only receive debt for being defeated. You don't accrue debt below level 10, or during certain zone events (like Rikti raids), but for the rest of the game, debt is "a thing" and has been for as long as the game's existed. So whoever told you that is an idiot.

I wanted to go to a cat café, Singularity wanted to go to a disco, we decided not to date.

Jason Todd (Batman: Under the Red Hood) is Batman now? I'm so out of the loop.

Film beat comics by 20 years. Cecil DeMille produced and directed The Squaw Man three times (1914, 1918 and 1931). The 1918 version was the first true remake in film history, as it was directed and produced by the same person (everything else prior to that was done by different directors or studios, like the 1903 The Great Train Robbery and the 1904 The Great Train Robbery, which was almost a shot-for-shot remake of the 1903 film, by a different director and studio (film wasn't covered by copyright law at that time)). But my comment was a satirical observation that it's standard operating procedure for both.

Wonder if they learned that from Hollywood, or Hollywood learned it from them...

According to Wikipedia, this is a trilogy. and Kevin Conroy recorded lines for the third installment shortly before he passed. Crap rehash or not, I'd watch them if I could, just to hear him as Batman one more time. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I'm crying. Thanks, asshats.

It does, unless your name is Clara.

I was running through the 25-29, 30-34 and 35-39 Accomplishment badge missions this afternoon and noticed the same thing. Almost everything was +2.

Voice chat destroys illusions. For instance, in text, you sound like R. Lee Ermey to me. I don't want to know that you actually sound like Joe Pesci having an orgasm.

Happening with Possess (Darkness Control) and Stealth (Concealment), too.

Is this because you need to know what your teammates might be saying because you're convinced that you're the only thing they talk about, or is it because you want an iron grip on teammate activity at all times? I really need to know whether this is a drama queen thing or a fascist thing so I don't shout at you for the wrong reason.

Okay, the +Regen discrepancy is because you have 3x Impervious Skin: Status Resistance/Regen IOs. The +Regen is Unique. It only counts once. Replacing the LotG Def/End in Combat Jumping with a Def/End/Rchg accounts for the 0.05% difference in Defense between the live build and the Mids' build, so that's probably what you did on the live build. The status effect resistances are correct. The math is 1 (the base value of the status effect duration) / 1 + % = adjusted duration. Mids' shows the stat, Combat Attribs shows the result of that stat. Example: Hold Resistance 70% means 1 / 1.7 = 58.82% duration. And the Regen Debuff Resistance is higher in-game because it's enhanced by the IOs you have slotted, which Mids' isn't doing. 25.95% * 1.8332 = 47.57154, truncated to 47.57. 29.24 Immob protection in Mids' is likely because you're using an old version with a bug. I'm guessing, but it's only 20.76 when I look at the build with the latest version, which supports the theory.

Impossible to be certain, because you've collapsed all set bonuses in those screenshots, but it's likely that you've used more than 5 of the same bonuses. Can't do that. In Mids', click the View Active Sets button, next to the archetype selection menu. That opens a new window with a complete list of all of your set bonuses and the totals. On the right, if you see >Cap, you're over 5 on at least one bonus. Scroll down in that section to discover which bonus is over the limit and in which power it was slotted. You do not have to change the slotting in that power, but you will have to change the slotting in one of the powers with that bonus. If, for instance, you had six Luck of the Gambler: Defense/Global Recharge Time Reduction enhancement slotted, you'd need to remove one from any power in which they're slotted. Again, 5 is the limit for any set bonus. So go through your build using that window, note any/all powers with the warning and make the appropriate adjustments.

Thought it was going live in a week. My apologies.

No-one can answer questions about what's currently being tested in closed beta. If you have closed beta access, you can answer the question yourself with a quick test, or ask in the closed beta forum. If you don't, you can ask to be a closed beta tester, then test it yourself or ask in the closed beta forum.

Not in this game.

I thought it was Tenebrous Tentacles or Teleport Target, and was about to suggest putting Range enhancements in the power.

Sentinel cones are limited to 5 targets, instead of 10. Sentinel AoEs are limited to 10 targets, instead of 16. Sentinels are scrappers with ranged attacks. That's why they have the same AoE restrictions as melee archetypes. Pay the complaint about damage no mind. It's bullshit, because a blaster clone with 96% of blaster damage, full-blown damage mitigation, including status protection, and the same target limits as blasters would so utterly and completely obviate blasters that no-one with more than two brain cells would ever play a blaster.

Umbral Torrent is 78.3 for sentinels. The rest is correct (amazingly). What happened to your Dark/Invulnerability sentinel?

You're not required to execute a number of attacks or use an alignment-restricted power to reactive them if they drop. You don't have to do anything, you can stand there with your thumb up your ass and they'll recharge normally and be ready to use again at will. It's a completely different set of requirements from what Domination currently imposes. Nor do PB or AD represent archetype-defining or -shaping powers. Click status protection powers are in a few melee archetype primaries/secondaries, not an inherent ability which affects every tanker, scrapper, brute, stalker, SoA, Dwarf-form Kheldian or Sentinel. The fact that my Shield/Elec tanker has a click status protection power is utterly irrelevant to my Energy/Energy scrapper, or my Staff/Willpower brute, because those powers aren't impacting entire archetypes. But I can't make any dominator that isn't affected by Domination's flawed design. The Rage crash that the game signals to players graphically by turning off the "I'M A LIGHT BULB WHEEEEEEEEEEE!" graphic and replacing it with the Damage Debuff graphic (red-colored downward-pointing arrowheads), so they know what's happening without looking at the UI? Do you spend a lot of time rebuilding the Hasten meter? How much, on average? Sixty seconds? Ninety? Three... hundred? You can tell me, I promise not to laugh. At the market. In a league, when players have to be moved around to different teams. When you're accepting a mission. Not in the middle of combat. For fuck's sake, there isn't even a status bar for NPCs, we're utterly dependent on graphical effects and animations to know what our powers are doing to them, so the "UI is part of the game" argument doesn't cut it.
