  1. I'm not even British but seeing Acaster & Ramesh = bad while Jimmy Carr = good made me realize there exists an exact opposite of my own sense of humor out there in the world. As for the original request the scroll functionality works just fine for me. I read about 10%, max, of all threads anyway so these "parodies" just are more to not click.
  2. The Crimson Prototype has a lot of -maxHP in its attacks. You can look through them here: https://cod.uberguy.net./html/powerset.html?pset=skyraiders.sky_raider_crimson&at=boss_monstrosity It looks like -maxHP lasts 30 seconds for each source. I didn't click each power so there may be exceptions. As to "is this intended?" it's been this way since the first MC I ever did. Sometimes, a big beefy tank just gets got in this encounter. As your teammates mentioned, it happens.
  3. Like Singularity, pulling mobs in. I haven't spent any time with it so I don't know first-hand. The feedback I've seen has been positive.
  4. Not too long ago I finished the level 30-39 villain tips for vigilantes. I gave 5 minutes to putzing around to edit the appropriate section to insert new rows and that's all the time I'm willing to give. So instead of editing the above I'll just add a new post with these particular tips. This isn't a great series of tips so I certainly wouldn't use these for farming Multifaceted, but in the interest of completeness, here it is: Level Band: 30-40 Alignment Villain for Vigalantes Name Score Notes A Strange Mystical Trinket 2 unintuitive talk-to, defeat boss, defeat other boss Warm Brass and Cold Bodies 3 free boss, escort to objective, click, boss turns on you Proper Documents 6 defeat boss click glowy, (nem smipers) An Intelligence Leak 6 crey lab defeat boss, glowy, defeat boss A Tattered Flyer 6 defeat mob (lt), defeat boss, talk, defeat boss talk An Unlisted Number 2 free NPC, ambush, 4 objects to destroy, ambush on last one, defeat boss, talk to him An Unreturned Call 5 free boss, defeat him, free other npc, 3 ambushes, defeat boss, Cherry Red Lipstick 8 defeat boss, talk-to, talk-to then defeat other npc, click computer Old Fashioned Detective Work 1 free boss, defeat other boss, back to first boss to fight, back to defeated boss. He despawned so couldn't complete You Get Hit in the Face 7 defeat sky dragon, defeat ambush, find NPC who turns hostile to defeat, destroy object Morality - collapsing ideals 6 talk to npc, defeat boss, talk to npc, defeat overdrive
  5. All of mine are active but I do think that TA gives a MM the most to do. Something is ALWAYS available. Most powers have effects that replace the prior version so spamming isn't needed but things recharge quickly enough you can deal with ambushes or whatever surprise. Storm is also hella active and if you're into controllers you may well dig it. Dark is also troller-y.
  6. Mark and Recall absolutely, 100% does work on Katie mission 2. I've done this many times since this new accolade was published, very satisfying with teammates telling me (at first) that it doesn't work (because it does). The link in the post 6 messages above corroborates this. I'm guessing what happened to the above poster was that Amy "attached" to another teammate. This is the biggest risk to successful M&R usage. I urge my teammates to pull the fight away from the hostage and I stand right beside the NPC to minimize the risk of someone else getting "attached".
  7. The gunslinger will have his spiel if he sees you. If you're fully pve-invis he won't. What I've taken to doing is just being seen by a gunslinger to see if he talks or not. If no, just move on. Defeating the Titan, by the way, is NOT a requirement. The wiki merely mentions him as a "notable NPC" not an objective. I always leave him alone if I'm speeding.
  8. Just fyi, some of the Demons have a debuff/damage aura and will aggro mobs even if invis and on passive mode.
  9. Grifters gonna grift. I enjoyed T-bolts. I kept expecting Sentry to make an inspiring speech about repelling an alien invasion. No paternity test needed to see he's Bill Pullman's son. B+ from me on the MCU scale.
  10. Week 2 is still a great time to join, even at level 1. Our first session was an elementally good time. That's Friday at 8:00 pm Eastern, which is midnight UTC.
  11. Brain storms drop from a day job as well. I don't even know which day job it is (and don't really care) but they pile up. These are an asset I just drop off in my "misc" salvage storage for my banker to swoop up periodically. As said in OP they rain in from packs as well. So actually just a couple of hours ago I noticed that my normal bid for rares had gone unfilled for a few days now. I don't monitor the market but seeing that there's a clear trend up made me think of my brain storm stash so I just plowed through a few thousand to up the supply (at a fair, but not a bargain price for current conditions). If the trend is continuing tomorrow I'll repeat. As for the unfilled bids, whatevah. They'll eventually get filled and I'm very, very patient. I purchase my purple recipes at level 1 and don't PL so I've got weeks before I'll need them crafted.
  12. I don't know the full scope of its usage but once upon a time the Silver Mantis SF could only be started from this, may have been Renault.
  13. The power's radius means everyone within 30 feet will be teleported. I happen to have a character with TTP (long retired) and seeing 25 foot range made me go "hmmm". It was one of those things. I logged on my TTPer, who has a 50+5 Jaunt end/range slotted, the power description says it now has 35 foot range. I have 15% range bonuses so that should add, let's just say 5 feet because I don't care to be precise, it doesn't matter to the greater point. I find someone about 100 feet away, ttp right to it. I then start trying for max distance for it to work and it was around 340 feet. So I have no idea what "25 feet" is supposed to represent. It's in the in-game description, Mids, CoD, every reference says 25 feet but it ain't 25 feet, not even close. Preemptive responses to "but whut about..." No, I'm not using range boost, no I'm not under the effect of a Marine Affinity's range buff or any type of +strength boost at all. This is just me in Port Oakes on a Poison/Water def.
  14. Here is the CoD page for the regular version https://cod.uberguy.net./html/power.html?power=boosts.attuned_winters_bite_f.attuned_winters_bite_f&at=arachnos_soldier Both debuffs have a 4PPM parameter to apply a -20 recharge and -20 run/fly/jump debuff. Those are listed on the first line. The superior version is 5PPM and applies the same debuffs. I have independently verified the OP's findings.
  15. I did the math in this post, I'll link instead of copy. Having the 2xp booster gives you twice the xp than if you do not have the 2xp booster running. You get twice as much, full stop. Not 1.1 times (which is what 11 xp vs 10xp would give. No appeal to authority is going to change empirical data. I edited to change the post linked to. I copied the wrong one initially..
  16. Having resistance to a debuff doesn't mean the results won't show up in the power analyzer. The results will show the debuff and the resisted amount. I did just try on a DA mob and this is what I saw when I got the proc to fire, no -movement detected:
  17. My expectation is Doom is in post-credits and not a minute before.
  18. Absolutely, that's 100% on theme. I look forward to seeing you on kickoff.
  19. Used 100%: Shield Wall +res Glad Armor +def Steadfast Def/res Panacea +hp/end Perf Shifter +end Used 90% Reactive Armor 3% + scaling res Used 75% Unbreakable Guard +HP Used 50% Preventative Medicine absorb Used 15% Power Transfer +Heal (I like this more than my usage indicates) Numina +regen/recovery <1% Miracle +rec (a character would have to be an endurance disaster for me to slot this [which has happened]) Kismit +tohit (Final builds tend to not have a problem hitting 95% against +3s and good enough is good enough). Almost everything else is "season to taste" and based on what's needed what could be utilized well. I have a Merc/Storm that has the FF proc active about 50% of the time so it's a no brainer for that character to use that. Addition: 100% of anyone without native full invis gets a stealth IO.
  20. My Silver Surfer homage back in the day was a PB. Having said that nothing in this game remotely comes close to emulating the Power Cosmic.
  21. What is the question about double xp? If you're sub level 50 and you have a 2xp booster, you'll get twice as much xp as if you did not have the booster at all. This was easily testable and those were the results. As for what I thought about it, put me in the "one week is enough" camp. I spent probably an hour with it. And maybe do something about the GM to either make it worth fighting (rewards) or tone down its difficulty. As is, I mostly saw tanks simply drag it to drones
  22. I look forward to checking this out but I wanted to let you know the Discord link is to this page, not to Discord. I was able to join the Discord by copy/pasting the text containing the link, but the link itself doesn't work. I tried on my phone and my PC.
  23. This merits some clarity. The mob xp is "scale 10". Whether that's 10x or not (look at my first post in thread to see data indicating it's not) I'm going to refer to it as 10x xp just for easy math. The START vendor offers a 100% bonus, so, for normal mobs, whose XP amount I'll refer to as X, that means X (base) + X (bonus) for 2X xp. Let's call the mapserver xp Y = 10X. It's still Y (base) + Y (bonus) for 2Y or 20X. So it's 20x, not 11. Why be theoretical though and use Xs and Ys when you can, RIGHT NOW, go into a zone and see the results. Just to set the scenario Level 44 solo no patrol xp no debt FAR from any league With the bonus START xp enabled, I got the following result: An Unstable Script (minion) awarded 8870 XP, 0 inf I deleted the START xp and got the following results An Unstable Script (minion) awarded 4435 XP, 3103 inf Your homework is to determine the ratio of 8870 to 4435. I did this last year when Indom had extra bonus xp and, just for yucks here are those same results for the same character (same level, 44) and same mob, Unstable Script: With START bonus: 13,305 xp, 0 inf WihtOUT START bonus: 8,870 xp, 3103 inf
