Shocktacular

Ah, okay. Apparently it IS red after all. Thanks!

Wow, Volkanus looks amazing! How are you getting that orange color on his chest? I've tried something similar for a volcano-themed character, and when I try red it's too red, and when I try orange, it's too golden to get the right color like you did.

With 3 single-target holds, the hold/slow patch, various slows and debuffs, my ice/time corruptor is pretty controller-y, AND she still gets that sweet, sweet scourge damage bonus. 🙂 I also have a rad/dark brute who's a bit of a melee-range controller with Cloak of Fear and Oppressive Gloom + 2 powers with stun to stack with OG (and Chance for Disorient IOs). I'd bet that energy/dark would be even better since energy/ has more stunning powers.

I'm okay with this as long as we actually GET this set at some point.

Is there at least a way to make a macro to target the nearest enemy (or any enemy, really) with the Contaminated effect? I could live with having to activate the power separately.

Darn. Ok, thanks anyway.

I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so I thought I'd try here. I play a few rad melee characters who regularly use Radiation Siphon for the healz. However, when I'm teaming and/or when I'm in the middle of big mobs, it's hard to keep track of which enemies have the Contaminated effect, which they must have for Radiation Siphon to actually heal my character. Does anyone have a custom macro that would target the nearest enemy with the Contaminated effect? Or (preferably) a macro that would target the nearest enemy with the Contaminated effect and then use the Radiation Siphon power on them (all in one macro)? Thanks!

I like the concept here! I just want to say that, since some of the Praetorians look very little like their Primal counterparts, it's okay to just say "yeah, these are the same person from different universes" and have that be that. However, if you wanted a closer match to your Primal character, I came up with something: deathmutePraetorian.costume (I'm having trouble posting pictures; it won't let me post anything larger than about 150kB. Does anyone know what's going on?) I ended up using a jacket anyway and trying to make the top look Praetorian with the star and wreath chest symbol. IIRC, there's a Praetorian Police-associated super in Praetoria who wears the Alpha top, so I went with that. I used the Chaos Leather on the pants to help parallel the Primal version, but colored it a bit more "respectably" for the PPD.

I came here to say this. Also, if you want to be a bit more specific, dark energy generally falls under the "cosmology" sub-field of astronomy. Cosmology is the study of the universe as a whole; its formation, structures, expansion, etc. Currently, the expansion of the universe is accelerating, and since acceleration can't just happen out of nowhere, cosmologists have coined the term "dark energy" to label whatever it is that's causing this acceleration.

I've been wondering this for a little while now, but I keep forgetting to ask. If you have the extra pool power space, why would you take Grant Cover instead of just taking Maneuvers? Grant Cover doesn't help your character, just your teammates, while Maneuvers helps everyone. I could understand maybe taking Grant Cover on a tank who already has a lot of defense, or maybe taking both, but if you could only take one why Grant Cover?

I'm not really tech-savvy enough to help, but I just wanted to say... God, I love this community! It's been nearly two weeks and we've still got devs and fellow players trying to help this returning player get back in the game! This is the kind of thing that gives me hope for the future of humanity. I hope to see you in the city soon, Zelene!

Yay!! I'm glad you like it. Excellent bio, too!

Yeah, it looks like that's what the problem was. ... but when I was in Mids, it said there were no updates available, even though a new version was out. What's going on with that?

I've noticed that, since the last update, Mids' recovery values have been... abnormally high. I recently confirmed this mismatch on several characters (my most recent 50 is getting 2 end/sec less than Mids says she should). This is really impacting the usefulness of this tool, since end management is one of the main things I use it for. Is anyone else experiencing this?

These look great, but I think you were looking for this thread:

Thanks for the feedback. Has anyone out there played these together? Do they work well with each other, or not so much?

I was having a discussion with a teammate and it seems like this would be a pretty potent combo. Any thoughts? ideas? builds? I'd definitely want to lean towards a tankier build, if that helps.

Wow, this is really good to know! Now if you'll excuse me, I have a bit of reslotting to do... Also, I assume that if one of the slots is not a proc, the order skips to the next proc? I sometimes have to put an end reduction in for end management.

I think part of the reason is that the lines on the pants glow and the rest of it does not.

These look great! On the middle one, though... I don't think the blue on the belt and pants matches the top.

😮 Wow! This looks amazing! Can you post a standing front shot so that I can shamelessly rip this off get the full effect?

😄 Yay! I've been quoted! I haven't added anything to that thread in a while (and only a few other people added stuff), but it DOES exist! I hope you find something that you like!

This is a bit simplistic, but honestly I don't know what to follow up your awesome costume with, either. It occurred to me that the costume you showed us could get a bit warm in summer, though, so I thought I'd make an outfit that was a bit lighter for warmer weather. It's also a bit more casual, so maybe this was more of a starting-out costume? Anyway, I hope you like it. anita1.costume I would've included a pic, but it says the max size I can upload is only 156 kB. I never had problems with this before. What's going on???

The /ah command. Crashless nukes (I know this was planned for Live, but it only made it to test servers, so I'm half-counting it here). Travel power updates. Asymmetrical gloves/boots/shoulders. Veteran Levels (and thread and emp merit awards). P2W/T4V vendors. New powersets and updated powersets. Enhancement upgrade button. ... pretty much everything, really. I'm not always sure what was from the first days of HC vs the last days of Live. It kind-of blends together.

Hooray for science! I'm a bit confused, though since your character name references plutonium and the end of this article says "So in reality, some radionuclides do glow (notably radium and actinium), but not as brightly or in the color people think. Plutonium doesn’t, no matter what Homer Simpson thinks, unless it’s Pu-238—which has such a short half life, it heats itself red hot." It's kind-of a moot point, though, because the costume is still great!
