Need a reality check (Unslotters just sitting)
Yomo Kimyata replied to Story Archer's topic in The Market
I've considered writing a market pvp(lol) guide, but I realize I always think that I'm winning it, and that may not really be the case. I only claim unslotters from my Character Items now on characters that need them. I was able to pull off a handful of thousands before they put the governor on, but now I just don't feel like spending a few seconds to extract one unslotter. Ugh. -

I hope people realize that Ambient Occlusion is bad

I'm not an expert on AI by any means, but for the most part at this time it seems to be able to access lots and lots of human-created content on the interwebz and riff off that, very quickly. I don't see it being able to do anything unique or groundbreaking, just very speedy. Just remember for every The Brain creating that content on the interwebz, there are thousands of Pinkys. As Sean Connery said in his last movie, "I'm waiting to be impreshed." -
Willpower does get a little mushy for endgame if you are pushing it; it's great for most content but when things go pear shaped they go really pear shaped. I would probably look to add Shadow Meld from Soul Mastery, or Unleash Potential from Force of Will, or most likely both. But that's if you are pushing it.

Praetorian Clockwork have tons of minions that use ranged energy attacks that debuff defense, and they tend to stay at range. As a willpower scrapper, you don't have great ranged (or even energy) defenses and no defense debuff resistance. Scrub bots suck! I don't particularly enjoy Willpower myself, but I used to have that same issue on my BS/INV scrapper before they added DDR. My suggestion is to hold your nose for most of the arc and to hide behind corners and make them come to you.

Confusion on Overwhelming Force unique enhancement
Yomo Kimyata replied to BuiltDifferent5's topic in Archetypes
I've been told that the PPM in CoD (all hail UberGuy) is correct, not the straight 20% chance. I missed that in the patch notes. The "convert knockback to knockdown" process is or at least was that it takes the current knockback (which is a number greater than 1), divides it by 10 which results in a number less than 1 (which is knockdown). What would happen is that sometimes the proc would activate and the additive value of KB would be over 1 and so most of the time it's knockdown but occasionally you get two triggers and a knockback. I should test this again. -
You know what's in toothpaste? Stannous Fluoride (SnF4). You know what Sn is? Tin. You know what else they use tin for? Making hats. Just saying.

How many enhancements in total would you say that you crafted, converted, and sold? -

I’ve been able to make it work for Ice Melee, but not for Fire Melee. Although I haven’t really tried for Fire Melee. I hate the look of the element swords, but they seem integral for Fire.

I am sufficiently post-reward enough to say "nothing". That said, there is a lot of the content that I actually enjoy doing for the sake of the content, but if I'm not feeling it, I'm not doing it. And the timing matters -- I like doing TFs but I'm more likely to do the ones that are weekly since I'll certainly have access to a bigger pool of teammates.

Best similar builds for trio play
Yomo Kimyata replied to Story Archer's topic in General Discussion
Three Kinetic Melee/Regeneration scrappers! -
This is a sticky wicket, because I can see two sides here. The question is: is OP's experience and preferred gameplay more important than the hoverer's experience and preferred gameplay? I didn't really read the encounter as trolling. So, I say no, this is a case of two individuals with equal rights who are in opposition. OP asked; hoverer declined. In my experience, unless you are able and willing to force someone else against their will into conforming to you, that's pretty much all you can do. I used to get uptight at having to go to Null the Gull to make sure that people on my team couldn't boost me in ways I didn't want when all I should have to do is ask them once to not give me a boost and then they would never do so again! And yeah, I realized pretty quickly that was foolish. So in my opinion no one's a jerk here, but I would probably have either left the team or turned my graphics down, because getting someone else to do something that they don't want to do generally doesn't work out so well. Unless it's getting more pussycat pictures.

I enjoyed reading this entire polemic! Some of it I agreed with strongly; and some I disagreed with vehemently. But this is your manifesto, and so I will keep my comments limited. You may be Buff Miser, and although I'm not exactly Nerf Miser I do consider myself Meisterbalance Balancemeister. I also realize that in a not-for-pay model, there is less incentive for the powers-that-be to emphasize balance and plenty of incentive for them to buff the hell out of whatever they themselves like playing. I very much enjoyed your description of the "new" Night Widow, and I think your write-up was great. It sounds like you like tweaks and corrections, as opposed to the dolts who daily lament, "YOUR BLASTER DOES MORE DAMAGE THAN MY CONTROLLER!!! I WANT STRONGER PETS AND MORE DPS!" So that's a pleasant change! I don't particularly agree with this sentiment, but the analogy is a good one. The problem with inflation, whether it be monetary or power creep, is that it does hurt specific groups that do not benefit from earning power from the inflation. Buff tanks and high end CoT for example, but then scrappers suffer against the new enemy groups, and the old enemy groups suffer against the newly buffed tanks. And in an environment where everyone feels their opinion (and their playstyle) is the most important one, then powers-that-be seem to have some incentive to buff everyone, if only to shut up the whiners. And then you get real haves and have nots and you bump up against the math of the system. That is, in my most important opinion.

something I JUST learned is that going to the PvP zone Recluse’s Victory from atlas also gives the badge -

I'm curious because this makes no sense to me. Are you hoping to flip them, or are you looking forward to level 50? If the former I doubt you will make a decent profit and if the latter I'd buy the non-proc as a level 50 so you could boost it.
