New Assault Rifle blaster ' Elite ' (I know right, how's that name available!? Gotta love Indom)

Numbers and spreadsheets are a guide that merely points in a direction. Decisions take us in a direction. Data may illuminate and can inform but can not lead. Leadership is whole separate thing.

Yep, it was just gone. Checked all desktop adjacent folders for a accidental dragging which doesn't happen but very rarely on desktops (unlike laptops) but I checked anyway. Searched everything. Checked the tequila.exe.log & tequilaactivitylog files, nothing strange to me. Ran a quick diagnostics, reset my ip address, and recreated the shortcut. (will need to setup Pargon Chat, etc again later) No biggie just a little alarming. tequilaactivitylog for the past day or so:

I am the opposite. 100%

Fair questions @Luminara but it don't appear to be the case. It was the launcher I use daily. This computer has one account. Thanks @EmperorSteele no luck there either. 😞

Yep that's the one that is gone now (shown below). So weird. It was there for years, then poof. Thanks @Number Six for the reply. @Luminara I would totally notice if someone swapped Folgers for the miraculous gadget George Clooney sold me. The crema is sooo... mmmm.. so good.

I had two launchers on the desktop this morning. Now there is only the new Homecoming Launcher. There was a little code update as I entered the game this morning.. Is it possible I missed an announcement regarding the old launcher forced removal?!

Kitchen Hell 'Gordo is about to get spicy!'

Ice Blast or Archery paired with Trick Arrow on a Corruptor is likely the most "rain" powers. Could do on a Defender but not as effectively. Trick Arrow (bonus, mostly quick animations) Flash Arrow (Targeted AoE) Poison Arrow (Targeted AoE) Glue Arrow (Ranged Location AoE) Acid Arrow (Ranged Location AoE) Disruption Arrow (Ranged Location AoE) Oil Slick Arrow (Ranged Location AoE) EMP Arrow (Ranged Location AoE)

..and so the Butt League was formed by Butt Gun and Head Butt who could be seen floating above the city in their butt balloon.

but without aiding farming? if so, it would be worthy to consider.

If you asked me, I have answers, but they result in benefiting farming which is a non-starter and increased power creep which I'd like to avoid. Likely a toning down of the melee specific hate/punishment would help Broots. Some clever design could lower the front loaded punishment and increase subsequent punishment in an encounter. Create teachable aspects that reward desired tactics without being extremely punitive to a whole class. (maybe, I'm just spit balling)

Travel Power Updates This update brings a wide range of buffs for travel pools, a brand new travel power (as part of an update to the Concealment pool), and some mechanical improvements to how travel powers work Concealment Pool LINK The Concealment pool is now classed as a travel pool, with the first three powers being available immediately at level 4 Stealth has had most of the benefits of Invisibility rolled into it Its stealth radius has increased to match Invisibility's old radius Its out-of-combat defense has increased to match Invisibility's old defense values You can choose between the previous transparency levels of Stealth and Invisibility with power customization Infiltration was added as Concealment's tier 3 power (new travel power) If you previously had Invisibility, you will now have Infiltration Infiltration provides a decent increase to run speed, jump speed, jump height and air control These values mirror Ninja Run by default, but with Enhancements you will become significantly faster Infiltration also provides a strong stealth buff and some out-of-combat defense Stealth can also be achieved with adding the Celerity's Stealth proc but may not be necessary if a player has chosen the Concealment pool.

+1 be right back

All devs play hero side blasters tends to explain a lot of what has happened over time.. so I've heard.

yeah... when a character hits 3 years without login.. BUT even, those are not the initial target of the potential change as was explained. Thousands of level 1s which were grabbed and never played will be made available. That's all that might be happening somewhere down the line with clear and substantial notification.

nay.. dare I say Brutes aren't the best farmers, just the easiest. note: Rad/Fire Brutes are simply nerf bait as Irradiated Ground is in the shop to be fixed. I agree that second or third place across multiple categories can result in a high aggregate score.

and a dev somewhere be like:

Is there one thing Brutes are currently best at?

@cranebump I would favor a specific contact for player created content. Even a terminal simply with preset filters for Devs Choice could be a decent starting point. @Clave Dark 5 This is the way.

New Incarnate abilities might be on the horizon. I'm not saying horde your Empyrean but a new use may be approaching fyi. Currently EMs can be transferred to another character on the same account.

What's an AE building?

updates are fun

"Soon" should have been one more week. @The_Warpact you would know..

I don't remember asking you. Please butt out of this private conversation. 😛
