By giving you the same settings you can get in the game, I assume? Would settings affect rewards?

Most people are decent, most of the time. Even gamers.:-) In those very rare instances where people do things I just can't understand, I kindly remove myself from the area.

Skyhawke is NOT a bot. I say again…:-)

Sure. But first, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Right but where in Talos?

So have I! Here's a graphic representation of the process: *(NOTE: This also applies to Citadel, Synapse, and those 122 kill-alls followed by patrols in every really old legacy mish)

You know, that makes sense. I couldn't figure out why this person couldn't consult a wiki for the most basic questions. NOT REAL! NOT REAL!

My question is, where the hell are they, that they're completely surrounded by 25s? Assuming they're far away from the tram, how the hell did they get out there? And if you can get out there, why wouldn't you be able to come back? Deedee-deedee, deedee-deedee...

Same. I want to use them like a Blaster, but they aren't. That said, avoiding secondary targeted heals is a must for for me, so perhaps running with X/Rad would be a way to go, since I've run Rad Defenders in the past, and actually liked it. I can just lay down RA/AM, then get to other stuff. 'Course, we're talking a debuff set here, really.

Carry On My Wayward son.:-) The compulsion to feedback is often too strong in this one. Which is why I often sigh to myself when I agree to run something and provide it.:-)

Time is actually one thing I sorta got. Summer break for us is the month of July. I'll need a lot of nonsense to occupy my time (and provide me excuses not to continue working on that gd manuscript).

All this time...I had no idea Atlas was Lance Armstrong.

I might just rationalize everything with you are an old man, and deserve to take all the shortcuts you can.:-)

Thanks! I didn’t know that. I’ll keep that in mind next time. I happened to be running through AP last night and found a portal sitting there near City Hall. But I think I might visit RV, just to check this out.

GDIT, ZHYM! He's gonna do it! He's gonna DOOOO IT! (if he does, I'm gonna take that to mean @Zhym wants us ALL to use timers indiscriminately. With big maps. Especially that one with the smoke. And you got 14 rescues. And 10 minutes. [5, if it's a Crane arc]).:-) (actually replied to mention a text bug I had the other day scripting part 1 of a planned 2-parter - clues to 2 bosses did not pop in the test--at ALL. I exited, checked text length. It was fine. Went back in, the text popped. Go figure. Go...and figure. [not sure what, but AE must want me to])

This is Vector Mike... It looks like he has no face, but trust me - he does. And it's smiling. This is Vector Mike's second contact, Susan Davies. Susan is rudely ignoring Vector Mike, probably because he's standing there waving at you and not asking her if she's got any work. She's used to lame lowbies like Mike appearing out of nowhere, asking for something to do. Vector Mike is a WHOLE LEVEL 2! He just worked with a bunch of nice policemen, some not so nice contaminated, then a cool dude in tights named Coyote (Awoooooooo!). Mike stopped an Outbreak! And now, he's off to bigger and better things. Like a lack of $$, slow advancement, a lot of running, and incredible endurance issues. Why? Because Cranebump likes to do stupid things. And this is yet another one of them. ******************************** Soooo, in plain English: was reading crimson's texts about just coming back, and running into issues that have long since passed, like starting money, free cool powers, super fast levelling on the DFB train, and all that jazz. Got me to thinking, "You know, you somehow played without those things and managed. it was painful, but gdit, you MANAGED." "Think you could do it again?" Well, of COURSE I can, but the question is, why would I WANT to. I already told you: Cranebump likes to do dumb things. Or rather, masochistic things. Sometimes. Mainly when no one's looking (or no more than 3), but this time this time, we're going public. So, the deal is this: I'm gonna run this poor lil Archery/Ninja Training toon without giving him any seed $$. Like I'm fresh out the box back in the days of yore, and dragging myself through the game. I am allowing myself to grab athletic run and the jump pack, mainly because my last account on live had Ninja Run and Jump Pack (and I feel stupid using Ninka Run, even if I AM playing a pseudo-ninja). I'll pick up any explore badges I can remember, and collect any merits that go with them (which means I'll grab the AP ones and, if I get lucky enough to get an Ouro [I won't ask for one, but I will dive in when I see one [yeah, yeah...at the wrong level]). But I won't use zone transporter, and I won't bother with a base (because bases were expensive when you were a lone wolf back then). So, it's "sorta" old school. The main thing is no XP buff and using only what I can get on the drop. I'll sell salvage, but will hoard the merits for...well, I'll think of something appropriate. Not sure if anyone else wants to Be Like Mike, but, if you do, hit me up. I'm usually on Friday mornings, and (some) Monday evenings (like tonight). I'm running Mike on Excel, so if I do any updates, I'll likely post them there, rather than muck up General Discussion again (like now...with this novel...). Visualize Whirled Peas, Crane

Who are you, and what have you done with @Zhym?

As has already been explained, you can grab plenty of Inf without Farming, if that's your druthers. Unless you're planning to got all out on IO sets, you won't need much $$ to have a viable toon for most things. I say this having a few mid-level toons who have DOs and SOs slotted. Between that in Inps, they handle regular content fine (well...you DO get the occassional big bad who's troublesome). That said, having gotten used to grabbing those enhancements via seeding, usually by grabbing explore merits from AP and Galaxy (then converting to converters, etc.), I'm not sure how things would work for me anymore, playing on straight-up default XP/drop mode. I have and do run without ever running 2XP on some chars, but those are special cases. So, I'm thinking I may have to revisit default mode - drops only, no LR TP, Mish TP or anything. I'll have to solo it all, of course, just to make it grindier and more obnoxious.:-) Been wanting to make a blappy arrow guy, so this may be the time. CUE FACEPLANT!

Wouldn't this just enhance farms even more?

Not sure how we define “work.” All of them do what they’re supposed to do (which includes face planting).

(ahem) May I present The Re-education of Westin Phipps (see below) 🙂 (just pretend he's a hero):-)

DANCE, PUPPET! DANCE!:-)

Yep. That's the very definition of a Mary Sue in TTRPG's, too. GM characters that soak up the spotlight. I know many of us AE geeks do drop in our characters (guilty here, though, in some cases, the AE NPC came first, then I decided to create a toon). But as long as it's still about the PC and not my totally rad, badass vigilante from King's Row, 🙂 it's all good. So, yeah. This arc is not really an AE vanity piece. It's a labor of love. You can tell that from the start.
