Yeah, might want to remember this game has a much higher than normal percentage of "fluff" players. I introduced my son last week to the game, and the first thing he said was "Daddy, shouldn't we go help those other heroes fighting over there." It's not kill stealing, and I don't think the OP's aggressive stance represents the majority of the players.

Almost all of my high end toons had perma-hasten. There is certainly diminishing returns on tricking out a toon, but it's a noticeable difference. Masterminds probably need it least, but Doms obviously benefit. I'd say perma-Dom puts them above all other support AT's. Is there anyone who actually enjoys getting stunned? ;)

Get a FreeSync monitor if you have an AMD card, GSync if you have GForce. It's amazing how much smoother everything is.

Thanks!

Is there a list of i25 tweaks anywhere? For instance, there's something about Auction House enhancements having a flexible level? Thanks!

Thanks, all. There's actually a workaround for the Vengeance that was used on TF's, involving Recall Friend. I was brain farting on the LD stacks, though.

Do the Leadership pool bonuses stack from multiple players? Thanks!

Anyone know where there are numbers for Pack Mentality and Fortify Pack, so I can make informed decisions on when to use them? Thanks!

That worked - I was certain I used to use numpad+ back in the day. Thanks!

Shouldn't the following execute a heal inspiration from my inventory? /bind numpad+ "inspexec_name Resurgence$$inspexec_name Dramatic Improvement$$inspexec_name Respite" Thanks!

Thanks for the great answers, just wanted to make sure the Mids numbers were correct.

Is this better in every way than standard Flight? Any reason other than visuals to take Flight?

Does every new toon get one freebie? Thanks!

Thanks!

Does anyone have the direct link? Thanks!

A is the default slot that all powers come with. The (5) represent the 2 slots you get at that level. The enhancement in there is not one you can get until much higher level, so for now you fill it with anything. Most of the enhancements are IO's, which have set bonuses. You won't have these at first, and they really aren't worth worrying about until the 20's at the earliest. Most of these builds look significantly different while leveling, and even at 50 they look different unless you have ridiculous funds. In other words, a great build that costs 10 billion influence looks different from a very solid build that only uses 100 million.

These builders are more of an "end in mind" goal setting. You probably don't want to try to follow any of them while you are leveling - especially as a newer player. You can always respec later. For now, there are so many prestige powerups available, getting to the high teens is a piece of cake, build doesn't matter too much. Once you get there, the guides will make more sense.

They just made a post that it was causing problems and you should turn it off for now if you had it on.

There's an announcement up that they had to temporarily reduce AE xp because of stability issues. They are hoping it will encourage people to run a little less AE for a while. Purely a tech issue, not a moral judgement.

I seem to remember a few annoyances, but right now they are overwhelmed by the surreal awesomeness of again getting to play the best computer game ever. Definitely puts things in perspective. (I did rage quit for a while over the regen nerf and EDD. But that was more Statesman's rather obnoxious attitude about "his game". I'm much older and wiser now. ;) )

In addition to the scaling solution, I had to run in windowed mode (alt-enter). Looks great.

I agree that it's probably a little silly at this point to post those builds. I really miss being able to casually purple my toons, but after all this time I'm perfectly happy leveling with sub-optimal builds. It just feels great to be out there arresting peeps again.

Have you figured out a way to pick up all those IO's? I miss having billions sitting around.

I think everyone has different playstyles - do you want a team or solo scrapper? AoE or Bosskiller? How expensive will the build be? The synergies of various combos depend on what you want. My personal quick overview: Shield is the "best" secondary. It's got great defenses and offense. Willpower is generically useful and easy to level with, goes great if you want an "invisible" secondary. Fire does the most damage, but the tradeoff is to be a little more squishy. Those 3 are my favorites, mostly because I like damage causing energizer bunnies. I think WP is superior to Regen. Primaries: Spines for AoE. Fire for best damage overall. Dark is nice damage combined with added survivability. Katana, Claws, MA and BS for solid single target. My DM/Shield was built for damage and could still tank for a TF. Might have been my best overall toon, but he was uber expensive.

Hopefully this isn't taboo, but is there info somewhere on setting up your own private server? Thanks!
