  1. What do you mean you can't point it out? You pointed it out in the OP. No one's had any quibbles with that point, including the GMs who responded.
  2. I was surprised at how many characters they've already pulled in. Three introduced in ep 2 I didn't figure would show up before season 2. I half expect D-man by episode 4.
  3. Red fortune is clearly a sentient lantern from a chinese restaurant in the 80s.
  4. It's great if you use total focus before it to make it faster, otherwise it's the old slow version and ymmv.
  5. I'll buy that untrained levels doesn't cause a failure every time, but it's not going to stop that from being the first thing I ask when someone in help says their respec fails. Mainly because every single time I've asked they did in fact have untrained levels. Sure it'd be nice to know for sure the exact failure conditions but for my purposes I just pick random stuff until I'm fully trained before respeccing.
  6. You'd think Stark would've thought to set up a foundation to fund them like in the comics, but I suppose that would cut down on some of the plot possibilities.
  7. First ep was pretty good. Fortunately they don't seem to be trying to reinvent the wheel with this one.
  8. I watched it at triple speed and it still dragged. If someone did a compilation of some of the new stuff and put that together it'd be worth watching but as it is the 15 minutes maybe of half interesting new stuff is lost in unnecessary scenes. It's funny that it's called the Snyder 'cut' since I'm not sure he knows how to cut anything. The story does hold together a little bit better but there are plenty of scenes that still seem out of place or are just there to point to the non-existent third film. As it is I'm about equally annoyed with this one as the Whedon, but for different reasons. Whedon's just seemed like a mindless, pointless attempt to pull a popcorn movie out of a mess and this one is more just a rambling unedited easter egg hunt.
  9. For the early part of HC there were records that were good times for a good team. Soon enough there were really good times from people starting to do specialized runs trying for time (e.g. what if we ran this with all blasters with a tray full of ultimate and huge red insps). Now you have to figure the times are from dedicated speed runners and are pretty much the COH equivalent of the folks who're good enough at NES games to know the exact place to take a hit in order to glitch through a platform and save half a second.
  10. You have to figure for hide crits, being able to guarantee crits with AS and the hide proc in AS making the next attack crit more often than not. All of which is kind of difficult to measure just looking at mids and clicking the assasination toggle on/off. There's also the fact that lightning rod doesn't break hide. But really trash mobs are nothing. If any survive a build up/LR/Shield charge they'll go down from chain induction or a quick hit of anything. Bosses are the real issue with electric melee and stalker's the only one with the ability to do more than chip away slowly at them. I started on HC with the scrapper version (brute and tank were both live) and that character is now my idler/market toon. It's been stripped and had its name changed to "Wishiwasastalker". Sounds like Meknomancer had a similar experience.
  11. woops, i thought you were talking electric melee. ignore my above.
  12. I've had all 4, go stalker. AOE on them will deal with your trash mobs but then you're left chipping away at bosses. Stalker's the only one with a good single target solution. Also it's personal preference but I'd skip T-strike - underwhelming and sooooo sloooowwww.
  13. Just read American Way and frankly couldn't believe it hadn't been adapted already. Turns out the sequel is in the adaptation queue for a movie. The original would have to be a series, too long for a movie.
  14. I'm getting this same error now (though in English) and there's no such file in my folder. I've tried a full reinstall using both the exe/msi and msi links to no avail. Nevermind. Uninstalling then manually deleting leftovers and reinstalling worked.
  15. I'm with TJBC on t-strike being too slow to bother with and I never take placate anymore either. But grant cover's worth keeping for the debuff resistance. With double stacked active defense, GC and ageless radial you can pretend you're SR.
  16. That's a pretty common colloquialism.
  17. I wouldn't get used to the bold bit of this (my emphasis) as you'll be 50 soon and the crafting cost of a level 50 recipe takes too big a chunk of your profits. Better to sell off the level 50 recipes and buy cheap converting fodder. The only things I craft a level 50 drop of are purples (which only exist at 50) and pvp (for hoarding). There are plenty of guides to the craft/convert game if you want to go that route, including Yomo's entertaining current thread
  18. Hmm, i thought it was over but just had a googlestion saying 'the finale' is the longest episode. I'll withdraw my grousing temporarily with an option to reinstate. But really, who does 9 episodes?
  19. spend 24k up front at p2w for 8 hours of the three amplifiers at level 1. should last you to level 27 unless you afk a lot and will serve you in better stead than the TOs.
  20. Ah, I didn't start playing til '08. So much disproportionate grumbling about ed/perma hasten if it took another source of +rech 😄
  21. Are you sure they weren't talking about enhancement diversification making it so it could no longer be made perma just by adding recharge to the power itself? There are quite a lot of folks who still complain about 2005 changes.
  22. Pyronic is fast and strong pbaoe. The only reason I don't take it more often is its range. I miss being able to take out all the healers around an itf general at once.
