Ironblade

For me, it's situational. Sometimes I'm doing a TF because it's the weekly and I want those merits or because I need the badge for TF Commander. In those cases, I want it done as fast as possible. Although I still set every TF after Synapse to at least +1 to keep it from being boring. Sometimes, I'm doing the TF just to do the TF. Last night, I did the Renault SF with my girlfriend and one of her friends. I didn't ask but, looking at the enemies, I think we were running at +1 or +2 and team size of about 6. We cleared every map except the outdoor one with Banished Pantheon where you're looking for Gharbu.

Oh. Well, it was easy enough to log in and check the combat monitor. 36 hp/sec without Dull Pain and 55 hp/sec with Dull Pain.

🙄 Work?

I feel for you. I just checked my characters and, out of 18, just ONE does not have Teleport Target (a brute). All but three of my characters (and tanks who don't need it) have stealth capability. Everyone has Assemble The Team, Mission Teleporter and Team Transporter.

When I'm on an MSR with my dark defender, I am absolutely running Shadowfall. People can tell me all they want to turn it off. Not happening.

I gave the regen as a percentage, so it's the same whether or not Dull Pain is running. The build only has 9% extra hit points since I was jumping through a lot of hoops to get that regen.

Well, I have it on one tank and I have it 6-slotted because I needed it to mule 2 Numina pieces and 2 Miracle pieces. Since I already had all that heal enhancement, I put in two interrupt reduction so I can fire it off in combat. Overall, it's a weird build. It's an invuln tank with about +340% regen. Pretty effective.

I like Earth. My Earth/Radiation controller has 4 holds and perma-Hasten.

You're conflating quite a few things here. This part is simply not true. It may be YOUR IMPRESSION, but it is not an accurate one. Now this is a different issue. I NEVER do radio missions with a team and RARELY do them solo. I don't like them. They're simple filler content. I think a lot of people feel the same way, but I'm just guessing on that. And now it's an indictment of the entire world. At this point, you're just being silly.

Well, you can't have it. The name field will only allow "Bland Basic Costume ". 😛

Stack more holds. That's the only way. Note that the Domination power (Dominator inherent) doubles your magnitude. Get enough global recharge to have Perma-Hasten and you're on your way.

I don't recall, but I asked her and she said it was forty-something minutes.

I didn't say it was. But you said "merely being on the same IP address was enough to get a GM response." Which is CLEARLY not the situation here.

No, the poster said very plainly that they were AFK. So the actual situation appeared to be two accounts on the same IP address with one account being completely inactive for an unknown period of time.

Ideally, I think you'd want a damage dealer who can hold aggro and a strong debuffer. That's where I'd go if I were picking a duo for the task. Having said that, it's REALLY not hard. I duoed MoITF (successfully) with my BS/regen scrapper and my girlfriend's peacebringer.

Once I get past Synapse, I run everything at +1 because the low level content is pretty easy and most people will be level-shifted for the high level content. The only exception is the Katie Hannon TF because that one cranks up the AV already.

My girlfriend and I built new systems in November and did not get optical drives for them. I downloaded Win10 on my previous system and put it on a USB drive for installation.

I find them super useful with just a one-tine effort. I have a default list of keybinds that I load for every character when I create them. One of the keybinds tries to access various bases - my own if I'm on Everlasting or a travel hub if I'm on Indomitable or Excelsior. I just string together the commands to enter all three and the relevant one will activate - with a single key press.

One of the Civilization games had a similar bug. Each NPC leader had a hostility rating. Gandhi's was the lowest possible at 1. If you had a Democratic government, all other leaders were slightly less hostile, with 2 being subtracted from their reaction rating. This rolled Gandhi over to 255 and made him more hostile/violent than Genghis Khan.

Saturday Night Live had a skit about people visiting City Hall to change their names. One of them was named Irma Gerd. 🙂

I gave it a shot. I bought CoV when it was first released and started doing the same thing I did on blue - take every AT to 50 at least once. So I took multiple characters to 50 on red before we got side switching. And I was never really excited about it. When we got side switching, my redside play time dropped dramatically. I'm on the HC Discord for the text chat only. I don't like getting on voice chat with total strangers. I need to have at least some connection to people to want to talk to them. So I'm on multiple Discords for supergroups and global channels. Have you ever seen the video where Lord British explains how the players in Ultima Online destroyed their carefully crafted virtual ecology? He characterized them as a swarm of ants killing everything in sight.

I have two comments: 1) I played this game for years on DSL and I'm guessing it would work fine on dial-up as long as you steer clear of content like iTrials and Hami raids. 2) Don't forget the name release policy. It is not currently in effect, but they said they may put it into practice at any time with 30 days warning. If you have any characters in the 6-20 level range that you don't want to lose their name, you'd have to log in to them at least every 90 days - *IF* the policy is implemented. This would be announced on the forums, so stay in touch! 🙂

That's right. We're talking about the whole player base and MANY people don't like playing the bad guy. Frankly, it's ridiculous to dismiss that reason. It's a matter of personal preference and 100% valid. And talking about the amount of content is nonsensical because everyone in the game can access all of the content. Talking about amount of content makes sense when talking about two different games. This is all one game.

Yes, but this entire idea is non-starter for anyone who regularly runs lower level content on their 50's (which I do). My goal is to have my characters completely functional and effective WITHOUT incarnate powers. I then select incarnate powers based on the character running level 50 content, not to deal with existing build problems.

I think we need just a few more options. I mean, look at this . . .
