Is that chocolate ice cream on the right? Chocolate is bad for dogs.

Sounds about like Ubisoft's networking. They have some really amazing co-op shooters (The Division 1 & 2, the Ghost Recon series, etc). The games are amazing when you can get their crap back end to allow you to play with your friends. We tried to play Ghost Recon: Wildlands over the holiday and it kept dropping people off the team. In the past couple days, it has settled back down to working REASONABLY well.

Do you even hoard, bro? My precious merits are MINE! ALL MINE!

Reasonable. But you don't have to understand it to acknowledge that some people feel very differently from you. They WANT the 'quieter experience', regardless of whether you understand their motivation or not. I see. It's a widespread issue, but you would "just dismiss it". Wow! Totally wrong! Just flat-out factually incorrect. Some MMOs (notably The Secret World, in my experience) DELIBERATELY spread people out across many smaller shards in order to create an atmosphere of desertion and isolation. This is a key design choice of the game. Accordingly, there is no content that requires more than five people - no Hami or Mothership raids or 8, 12, 16, 24-person trials. So, 'not all MMOs'.

If you find a good answer, let me know. I have over 50,000 across my accounts/characters. I used 2004 on my badger for the Mini Statesman vanity pet, 2012 for Mini Tyrant, 2005 for Mini Lord Recluse.

Slotting recharge gives the same effect it would in any other click power. Personally, I have serious recharge slotted in Fortitude on my empathy defender. I can keep Fortitude up on three teammates continuously. Recharge in, say, Force Fields is not needed because the power recharges very quickly and it hits all teammates in range when you use it. +recharge bonuses and LotG can be HUGE. I have an earth/radiation controller who, with Accelerate Metabolism and Hasten, has 'perma Hasten'. He can spam his powers and stack controls fast and the Accelerate Metabolism gives him the endurance to do it. It's even more dramatic on a Dominator with perma-Hasten and perma-domination. You just need to plan around that endurance usage.

Have they changed it so that you can get Pither's badge in flashback? As far as I know, you can only get the missions directly from Pither.

Looks like it. You can see the base portal at the right edge of the screenshot.

It's like Buckaroo Banzai said, "Wherever you go, there you are."

Nah. Local chat.

Sadly, 'not lying' is not the same as 'being right'. When people are making FAR more brutes than any other AT, something needs to be fixed.

Only if you're there to buy gas.

No, the way I do it is apparently more convenient for MOST people. I'm doing it the way I have always seen everyone else doing it.

I never timed it. You have to visit six meteors (which are marked on the map) and analyze them with a gizmo from the scientist. Then you have to take over a firebase by destroying the 4 large turrets surrounding it and the 4 little turrets on the roof. Then use the 'ore processor' inside to process the samples and return to the scientist. The only annoying aspect is that the turrets are on a five-minute respawn timer. You can be on the 7th turret when they all respawn. On a high DPS character with a good travel power . . . maybe 6-8 minutes. On a defender or controller, I'll take out ONE turret and wait for it to respawn so I know I have five full minutes. So 10-12 minutes if you have low DPS.

I think Rest used to accept sets, briefly, many years ago. Certainly, it does not now and has not for a long time.

And this is why I have a Shivan Shard on every single character. My empathy defender can 'solo' stuff when he has a Shivan with Fortitude and Regeneration Aura.

Noooooo!!!! Both of those names are just top-notch lead-ins for jokes. I always crack wise about one or both of them when I lead the task force. Take out a 'defeat all' but leave me my childish humor. I wonder what percentage of players respec when they hit 50. My girlfriend does that on every character. I never do it. I figure out my build as I level up and don't respec at all unless I screw something up. I would estimate that only about a quarter of my characters have ever done a respec. As for building with exemping in mind, damn right!

Four years later! Holy shambling undead @Snarky, Batman!

1) This is a common occurrence in a lot of trials. 2) Because it's not a 'task force'. Being unable to invite new people is a defining characteristic of task forces. Also, I don't think there are any task forces that allow more than 8 people (i.e. one team). Cool. That's your preference. Personally, I just type "Here" and so does everyone else I've done this with. I don't recall ever seeing someone use coordinates. I don't see that as more convenient, despite the fact that I actually have a keybind to show me my location already set up on all characters.

Hey, it's me again! Once again, there is a quest in Pokemon Go to make new friends. If anyone sees this and would like to be friends in the game, send me a DM. I'm pretty conscientious about sending gifts and, for anyone interested in Vivillon, I'm in the Polar region. (Don't ask. Somehow, the 'Polar Region' includes part of the continental United States - i.e. not Alaska.)

So, speaking of the Winter event, it looks like Manny is 'Home for the Holidays'. Probably because he never leaves the gas station.

I have three characters with kinetics. On easy content (99% of the game), it just doesn't matter much and it certainly doesn't bother me. On the hard content (like Really Hard Way badge, where I always play a kin), the hard targets are AV's and no one is knocking them back. I'm well aware of that - BUT - most resist sets do NOT have high resist against every damage type. If you have 40% resist to toxic and have the chance to add 2%, don't waste your time. Regeneration is of equal value whether you currently have 80% regen or 300% regen. That extra 25% will add the same HP to either character.

Check your most recent badges. I logged in three characters last night and NONE of them got a pop-up notification but they all had the badge.

1) Knockback isn't that big of a deal, in my opinion. No one is going to be knocking AV's or EB's around and everything else dies fast enough that they're not much of a threat if they get scattered. 2) It depends. If you're already at, say, 85% or higher resist, one or two points more is a big deal. If you're not that close, the regen is probably a better choice because it works against all damage types.
