That is good to know information, I was not processing that it was a proc firing off. Does it add absorb to others or just self because I don't have it yet.

Yesterday I was trying to copy two (2) characters over to the test shard and noticed that several were missing from the list and a lot of them had incorrect level data. Is this an issue that people are or are not aware of?

Actually I am not wrong. I have been in farms, and had a character go from level 1 to 50 in three hours. and I did nothing, just sat there and made stupid jokes. You cannot do that through normal play, no matter how much you try to spin it. Again I am not saying you cant farm and I am not saying you are evil for farming, that would be hypocritical considering I have been in one or two myself. What I am saying is the term farm is incorrectly applied to what is happening. The Kardashian bit was was meant to be funny but if you want to take it serious, then do so; free world and all.

You know that is an actual good question. My parents lived in Nebraska for a bit and from what I could tell farming has always been about working very hard, for months to prep and plant a crop wait for it to grow, tending it as you do then harvest it so that it can be sold. But the paradox is that the people who want to buy that crop do so trying to get the lowest price possible. Conversely all of that hard work invariably yields minimal rewards and a farmer might make a small profit in the end,. Heaven help them if the crop gets infected or diseased or nature screwed or demand for the product goes down or its outsourced to a foreign country who will sell it cheaper. So the very concept of using the term farming to describe what goes on in the game is the wrong word as it is the opposite of farming. So I propose we call it something like Kardashianing . . . very little effort for huge reward.

AE? It's not just for Fire Farms 🙂

Here's the thing. Liberty is also standing there in IP on the Freighter (pretending to be an LHD) so while I like Liberty I wouldn't have a problem with a change. But what I would want would be to see Back Alley Brawler returned to his role as a newbie trainer in Atlas if they did make a permanent change. On live I always trained with BaB in Galaxy until they blew it up. Now as a short term joke or tribute, sure, whatever floats your boat but permanent, no. I already don't like the swap of Castle for Incandescent so lets avoid more stupid decisions in that area.

Thank you. I was looking at it as the same thing. When I get home I will copy to test and bump to see. It has me . . . curious. I will report obviously.

I have a question that is on my mind. Last night I was in Mids doing a framework build for my DP/Ninja Blaster and looked at Smoke Flash. at the possibility of proc firing in it. Mids says it will take taunt enhancements but wiki doesn't list that as an option (I know its a Placate power). Now when I get home I can port it to test and bump to level but maybe a quick answer here will allow me to continue my theorycrafting while at work. So can you slot taunt Sets in Smoke Flash? And if you can, if you used a damage proc like the one found in Perfect Zinger's would it invalidate the placate or would it deal the damage then the placate?

I blame Fire Farms. 🙂 All kidding aside, last night I had like 4 or 5 tech doors that you clicked, didn't open but passed through. I remember that occasionally happening back in the day so I don't think its a bug but rather some lag thing. Also fire farms 🙂

I tend to ask in tell after they announce if I can alt. I never ask to save me a spot because it just seems like bad form. Then again I would be lying if I said I didn't get salty when I ask if I can alt they say yes, then 11 seconds after switching the slot is gone. But its their team so how can I get mad. If I have that much of a hard on I should form one myself,

I have always been High_Beam on live and here (with the hyphen). High Beam (without a hyphen)was my main on Freedom from like day 2.

Gotcha. Thanks for the response. I have yet to inadvertently burden myself with this issue 🙂

What does that mean? Asking for a . . . self 🙂 Seriously, I do not understand what you mean by rule of 5. Please don't say its a new Positron Task Force.

I have received a total of 13 Aether drops on various toons. Some were doing standard Task Forces (Kal, Sutter, Moonfire) and others just regular missions (a PI Radio and a Kings Row Radio). I have not done any Hard mode anything and nothing beyond +1/+2 Difficulty setting. They all went on the market and are funding many alts now. So even though I am not a costume person, I have profited by it.

Worse yet, I have a Heavy Rock from a Mayhem Mission.

I got a rock.

Yeah sold a bunch now at the 20 mil point but as I said, not a true badger any more and not a costume person. I consider any monies earned form them as just playing with house money.

I play this brand of Blapper (Di Di Guns) and I use Eagles Claw regularly under the following situations: - Putting down heavies that are still holding on. - Lieutenants that need to be kicked in the face . . . with stilettos. - AV/Giant Monster fights where the furball simply needs more damage. - Any time I want to look awesome and Seksi kicking people in the face (and giving team mates panty shots . . . you're welcome). - It really is useful when solo or on a small team (especially with say a troller) Its a really stylistic attack that does deal a really nice amount of damage and honestly no MC Blaster should be without it becuase style is a significant factor there

I quite literally feel smarter and yet dumber at the same time. after reading that. Thanks. So much for my totally useless Information Systems Management degree 🙂 Mom said I should have been a lawyer.

Spot on! I have literally used that description to describe those and several other terrible but for some reason beloved snack items.

I play Nukems and we set the height slider to the smallest possible scale. I am always below line of sight in everything, mists, water, small toddlers, learning institutes for ants.

And just jumped in with a level 26 never done Pilgrim and got Twilight so I don't know what else to say. I will note that the 31 (Kitty Conflag was still able to get Twilight as well so the level range there may be slightly skewed but the 26 (Tideway) could not get Lazarous).
