  1. I am starting the patron arcs right now on my rebuilt Fire/Storm. Hard choice Mu or Leviathan. On live I solo'd a lot - this guy was my farm/inf character. More end reducers can do the trick, your right however it is all about choices -- more -end cost is less something else. I think I will go Mu till at least 50 - I am using generic IO's for the most part till then. When I start my 50 sets project I'll have to decide which way to go. The only time I would ever end crash after maxing out my Alpha Slot was while teaming - otherwise wasnt really an issue. Then again Fire/Storm can run out of end on Speed Boost or AM.
  2. If I am not too tired and dont have a headache.... Sure!
  3. Unfortunately, it's really hard to fly in at precisely 90° to the 'backstop', so you wind up sliding to one side or the other, and come to a stop mashed up against one or the other of the guards. They seem to be disciplined enough to resist the opportunity to cop a feel, but it's still a bit embarrassing. I think it would be pretty fair for them to get to enjoy a handful every now and again. Note - said handful should be limited to beings of legal age in the Paragon jurisdiction. (Currently 16 in Rhode Island - in our 'real' world)
  4. I have a fire/storm/leviathan build on the old forums I liked. Had 3 leadership toggles and the resistance toggle going too. The alpha was imperative - plus end reducers in some powers like fire cages and hotfeet. Mu mastery is a good way to do it too - I just really wanted the water spout to go with tornado. Fire/Storm is an awesome combo. I have also played fire/kin on live and a well played fire/storm can do just as well. They both have pluses.
  5. Those guys stand out in the sun a lot - I dont know armpit is an improvement....
  6. Is this a one time thing? Or an ongoing cost? What kind of goal are we looking at?
  7. I was thinking something along those lines too. I dont want the poor guards to end up with blue b**** though.
  8. Um sorry. No apology needed, I assumed it wasn’t malicious. Unless it was really a Nemesis plot to put creepy thoughts in my head. But that seems pretty low for Nemesis. Unless that’s what Nemesis wants me to think. But why would he waste his time to get me to think that? Wait...what if wasn’t Nemesis... *does math* That means Zep is a SEA MONKEY!!! Wait, I didn’t carry the 4. Zep is a FAKE NEMESIS! And it’s all a plot by him! Orchestrated of course by the real Nemesis. I've been called a navigational menace and a weather problem (Fire/Storm controller as main) so why not a Fake Nemesis too.
  9. I am pretty sure the OP was aware of the above info. I am also pretty sure he was not crying out for it to be fixed RIGHT NOW so much as observing there might be something slightly not PC about the process. Should the size and exact location of the click box be changed - yes, should it be anything except the lowest possible priority - no. I am very happy to keep the hazard zone entrances the same as they are now. There is a jenna say qua to many aspects of this world that all add together. Except, perhaps, for the ERP crowd maybe the door lever in this case could be moved a little higher.
  10. I had another thought.... What If - you focused on building an index for searches and linked to the way back machine for viewing the post?
  11. I have two of these - one each in my t1 and t2 attacks. elec/elec Stalker. Not a ton of healing - it does make a difference on those fights that go down to the wire. Were I to also stick it in Jacob's Ladder, I know the chance per hit goes down, could I get mult heal procs on a single activation? Dont know how AOE and procs work since the changes.
  12. Were I to slot the whole set, would all the + kb override the kb to kd?
  13. One time is a fluke -- establish a highly accurate count over 32+ missions with the exact same number of players and other particulars and then minimal statistical accuracy can start to be established. It is human nature to remember that one time that was awful and forget the unremarkable times because they didnt get your attention enough for every day brain functions to stare them. After getting home from work most people cant tell you what they had for breakfast, what the drive to or from work was like, but boy oh boy if McDonalds or whatever messed up the order for Coffee and hash Browns you'll remember that till the day you die.
  14. Like many I would love to see the game back in development in a way that works with all the established communities. If it is ever possible to come out of the grey legally and ethically I could see subs being a thing. At which point are you hiring? Can I put in an app now? I have a very good job now this would be a dream job though.
  15. Interesting thought..... There are some Cali Cons, gaming and otherwise -- or a pure HC event... I hear RENO is a good place to host an event... less expensive then the Bay Area, close and convenient for important players. ;)
  16. I have a system that should be able to host the parsing - I think, but I would not be able to host a web site once it goes online. I have -or am supposed to have- 980 down and 40 up. As you say, the parsing is just one small part of it. I would like to see the old forums hosted with the new, just cleaner and easier that way. If you pay for bandwidth are you prepared to have up to 100k users doing searches in a given week/day? Is there a HC Dev available to give us input please? I've read you are looking for new forum software, could the old stuff be set read only and incorporated with the new build? Wouldn't even need an additional server or anything except maybe a bigger HD.
  17. Question: Please understand the last time I did a lot of coding networking meant a 2400 baud modem. Could you make an agent program that reports what all parsers do on a single machine? This would change us from how many total parsers are supported to how many total users. Of course, I am guessing that coding multiple programs to talk to each other could be annoying.... could all the parsing leave text files that a master program reads, sends, and deletes? Of course I am not doing the work and it is not like this is going to take forever as is. Thank you again for all the work you do on this - as is is fine, just some random thoughts.
  18. Doing any meet/greets a little more West in the country? I used to go to the ones in SF.
  19. I have a 4 day weekend coming up. If it doesnt cost you anything to increase capacity I'll get 200+ copies going before bed and watch it during the day -- can load up my i7 laptop too and we can get this done :)
  20. So your the one. :) There is a max number of total clients that can be run - not that it matters as long as the work gets done. I am guessing we are at about 1/3 done.
  21. Always been like that. Have to ask what is it about fire that makes guys lose 99% of their IQ? https://www.azfamily.com/video/raw-video-gender-reveal-stunt-goes-bad-sparks-fire-in/video_63291db7-7e12-58d7-b487-21396b356a57.html Explain please why your guy is different? -------------------------------------------------- All that said -- it used to piss me off too. Will again if I ever play that kind of MM again.
  22. I recall live being the same. Doesnt seem to matter if my char is tall, short, he, she, or they -or- for that matter if I use tentacles (you dont want to know what the spell check almost did with tentacles), claws, or some other prehensile appendage - if I want in or out of the zone I am required to give that guard a friendly squeeze to get his attention -- anything lower or higher just doesnt get any attention - is guarding the gate really that boring?
  23. Um... Cool HOW DID YOU DO THAT! ------ As to other questions, I have all the data in one directory. I have had 18-20 copies running at a time though. :)
  24. Just got home, downloaded the new parser -- it is showing a blank console with an occasional cursor blink in the upper left. No errors, nothing -- I take that back as I typed no errors I saw some in the console and it closed. Error exceeds the allowed 20k characters - shall I shove it in a drop box for you? Here is the header: 7/1/2019 6:45:32 PM | System.Exception: Failed to connect to server over three times in a row. Server may be down. Please try again later. ---> MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Authentication to host 'cityofplayers.com' for user 'wbenn_user' using method 'mysql_native_password' failed with message: User wbenn_user already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections ---> MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: User wbenn_user already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections I see ppl are jealous of my work done :) Error file is 525kb.
