As far as I'm aware, all trials are the same. All you need is to have reached level 50 and hit things, and be in the trial when it ends and you get a pick off the incarnate table. Master of has different objectives, but you just need to be inside and complete it to get a component. now waiting for one of my dear friends to tell me I'm wrong 😛

I think it depends on your available inf. For me I generally buy procs and sets as I level. I'll get the three blessing of the zephyr into my travel power at level 7 when it becomes available, and prioritise ATO's. Then as I hit the appropriate level got the procs I need for health and stamina. Otherwise I'll SO until 22 then respec and sell them, then go IO 25's and go up as I hit a level change. When I hit 50 I'll use a catalyst on my ATO's to make the superior, along with any winter sets I need, and buy as many purple sets as I can squeeze in. I buy everything attuned anyway 🙂 I can follow mids when someone else has made a build, I can't create a build from scratch. So generally my powers either have full sets of something or are stacked with useful procs.

Kids these days. Get off my lawn!! That's not music!! When I was a lad..... etc. etc. 😛 And we all love Googly 🙂

Happy Pride. I hope you have as much fun at yours as I did at mine the other weekend 🙂

People play how they play. Sadly for a lot of modern players they expect the grind to 50 to be the difficult part and the fun to start once that's over. Despite all the advice (from myself quite regularly) new players still think there is some magic after 50 and get disappointed when they realise that that's basically it. From now on it's task forces, iTrials and mothership raids. There is still plenty to do at 50, but you need to have worked your way up and spent a lot of inf to enjoy them. I see accounts a month old with a dozen or more 50's. I automatically assume they power levelled up as there is no way they can get that many that quickly. Are they enjoying the game? I hope so. Fingers crossed they get bored sitting in a farm and start actually playing.

glad you worked it out. sometimes its the most ridiculous things

you should be able to install this and fix it https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe

Me?

In fairness, many characters die a lot early days then get awesome later on. I struggled with a plant dom and illusion controller to start, but with the right powers, more slots and some good sets suddenly I'm a lot more powerful than I had any right to be on paper.

Beware the Mouse!!

There are many words that have fallen out of use and been taken up as words in modern media. They can't be copyrighted but they can be trademarked. So words like Sith, Droid, Jedi etc can be used but only if they are used outside the context of the media where they are trademarked. Original creations can be copyrighted, but copyright expires and trademarks don't. You just have to use the trademark to keep it active. Sith is old English, Droid has been used occasionally in the past by other writers, and Jedi is a recognised religion in the US. It's a tangled mess. If you see something you think breaks the CoC you are more than welcome to pop a ticket in and I'll take a look. It doesn't have to be the full package, it can be the name, costume or bio. Or a combination. I'll make a decision and then act. If in doubt I'll seek advice. I'll also listen to an argument as to why I was wrong and if I am, I will apologise. I have done in the past. Otherwise I'll pass it to the leads to adjudicate. Their decision is final, and contrary to popular opinion will overrule a GM at times. It's rare, but it has happened.

I've been in CoPs like that 🙂

Much as I enjoyed the show, they needed to breath a bit more. They could have stretched the goblin queen out a lot more and had it be the entire season antagonist. They flew through so many story arcs that it was almost like a TL:DR version of the X-Men

And most of the iTrials I join are pugs. And TF's. The only time it's not been a pug is when I join Laucianna's 2* ITF

There is a badge for taking Anti Matter to 10% health, but it should fail if he dies.

It means what it says. The build will load but it may have been changed since you made it. Or not. It's just warning you of the possibility

Log in name/account name only matters to you and GM's (when we are trying to find your account). It can be anything you like and can't be changed once created

I've seen a lot of new players, but not seen much increase in bad behaviour. We still have the most welcoming and best community I've ever come across. Some shards are quiet, others are rammed. It's certainly an exciting time 🙂

Welcome. Check out the START vendor in Atlas and Mercy for some free goodies to help you out

I'm the same. As little stuff on screen as I can get away with.

That's a heck of a screen. Do you need to take an uber to get from one side to the other?

I don't do TF's/SF's

I generally get to tier 4 on everything around vet 27, but I do like the incarnate content and am often quite lucky with the salvage drops.

I personally rarely do the WST so get maybe 4 notice of the well a year. I will use the shards to make a tier or 2 when Im doing the second run of the alpha slot to tier 4, but most times I convert them to threads.

I've checked your account and it's unlocked
