Odd bug, not sure if it's particular to this instance or more widespread - Impervious skin unique in my bio scrap's evolving armor was granting the status resistance bonus but not the regen bonus. took it out and put it in hardened carapace and it works as intended. Evidently evolving armor has a hidden 'revert to pre-i24 version' effect 😄

Knew it wouldn't last. 26:15 Numina

and here i was blaming your phone 😛

iirc correctly they capped them at 25k/100k/1 million though they rarely sell for those amounts unless someone's either fiddling around with them or someone's just trying to dump influence on lowbies by overbidding. Just put up a normal bid and wait, should fill within the minute. We can all use that time to consider whether we're really up for the responsibilities that come with owning savages, and whether their savagery is justification for their being bought and sold so indiscriminately.

Numina - 31:50. This was a pug run so I know y'all can get out there and beat it while it's the weekly.

Do we know if the PTBs are on this one? They posted in the stacked hold bug thread.

Potato potahtah

If you do a lot of TFs leveling then yes, Fake Nems will be your only gap. But soloers or radio mish types it'll be a grind. And I usually have the villain equivalent by 31 if soloing - when I hit 30 i run to st. martial for papers to get hard luck as a contact. If I've been tf'ing the toon I'll jump over to grab his ouro at 35.

It was different at one time (there's a reason Brigg made the 49 ones after all). Not sure if that means they upped the level 50 exp or made exemped to 49 not fully double or if it's a bug or wai or when it changed. But yeah they seem to be the same now so back to the afk cave i go.

The talk here and elsewhere of BS has me excited to try one. I had a bs/wp scrap on live but deleted it at some point for general mehness and b/c i had too many wp toons and too many scrappers.

Same thing on mine. I've stopped spawning it for anything lower than an AV since it keeps knocking things away from my debuff anchors.

We did a 31:46 manti that I can't post the screeny of b/c of something in the chat on it. But can be a number to shoot for. Doubt it'd last through the weekend anyway as we had to wait around on one of our redside pals to find atlas park for the hopkins mish. really.

search 'hero merit rewards' and 'villain merit rewards' on paragonwiki.com. a lot of the numbers have been increased for homecoming but it should give you a good idea. General advice I'd say to start off villain (hit null to switch to rogue so you don't miss out on Posi runs). Those arcs give the best merit/time bang for buck early on and are generally more interesting and more contained than their blue counterparts (with the exception of some of the late added ones). If you want to do the Praetoria stuff it's usually a good merit/minute choice since HC upped the rewards from their piddling live server amounts but I'd recommend only doing them as flashbacks so you don't get stuck there for 20 levels.

Just a PSA - if you're playing at level 50 Tactics one-slotted with a +5 ToHit IO plus an offensive amplifier temp power from p2w will get you your 22%. At level 50 the amplifier is pricey for some at 20 million/8 hours but you're going to make that in 8 hours on any level 50 unless it just stands around most of the time (and the damage/recharge the amplifier also brings is non-trivial). The only problem with this is that when you exemp you'll lose your 22% (not sure of the exact level it drops below and don't care enough to test. definitely gone at 30). A kismet makes up for the exemping if you do it a lot but now that there's a sliding damage scale corresponding to ToHit you probably don't need to bother.

i think it's 2915. it's the one with the $'s that doesn't say outdoor if you just search comic con.

Mine has a nucleolus hami O, annihilation -res, positron's, javelin volley, impeded swiftness, explosive strike. left out trap of the hunter just for damage variety since creepers natively does lethal and i had the javelin in my base already.

Any chance of a level 49 version of the fire cave? I've been afk'ing a lot lately and the meteor needs to be reset too often. Outdoor map doesn't work since they don't roam. Thanks! New characters look great.

Back to topic - anyone else's purp drops get turned back on by the patch? I know they've always been super streaky cuz of the low rate and rng but i got one in like 3.5 weeks and 9 since yesterday's patch. Not that I'm complaining.

I'll add to the off-topic advice by telling you to run an Ice Mistral SF for all your lowbie Tsoo needs. Big kill all on the giant boat map.

To my mind the food pellets don't taste as good if you don't run the maze 😛

If you're wanting just to get to Cimerora use the lfg and lock Imperious (Time's Arrow) for yourself. Using the Midnighter club for zone travel would work as Korbian explained but that'd be a rather roundabout way of going about things - i.e. i could only see someone doing it for RP purposes.

Go to Night Ward from a base portal or tunnel system. Go in the big mansion. Badge awards on entry.

it's both. it's a patch that follows you (kinda slowly) that slows, knocks down and springs immobilize patches from corpses. Oh and damages. And as a ground targeted patch it can be used out of line of sight. It's just generally awesome normally. Procced it's insane.

Superior Winter IOs are bucketed with the regular versions as well. So ATOs are the only thing it's worthwhile to manually catalyze.

Finally hit 50 and finished the build. No incarnate stuff yet and it's already amazing. Procced out creepers is just bananas.
