I know its awkward, but he pays real well.

I played a leveling mm using so's. Not a lvl 50 io'd out with sets. They should use a temporary buff to help leveling that expires when you get your incarnate achiev.

nerfing the base experience to buff harder modes is a bad idea. Balancing an entire AT around set bonuses is even worse. we were told that classes were balanced using so's. now that seems to have changed.

This exactly. I am testing with so's only. If I have to slot IO(or worse sets) then it is a fail. I tend to have fun leveling toons to 50 and switching to a different AT/set

I amde a demons/kin and it did feel weak compared to live. I am leveling on so's just like I do on live.

We used to send thoughts and prayers. now we send coffee and donuts.

I got a copy of the game during I6, had made a character and was running around atlas. My wife looked over my shoulder and wanted me to install it on her computer to try it out. After 3 days of "I'm still looking at it" I went and got myself a new copy. Thats why her sub was a week older than mine. We were running in the Hollows soon after and got invited to a frostfire team. That was what hooked us for good. We were on Infinity and got invited to a guild. Stayed until shutdown.

as long as you can throw fire and fly you are golden. slight change of profession but you gotta go with the flow.

I like confusing the vahz exploding guys. fun for all!

We cant know. they had really good NDAs back then.

Pax Romana couldnt really deal with people carting around nuclear warheads.

I have noticed on radio teams, when indiscriminate KB starts people leave. TY for the team, bye. You can replace them but there seems to be quite a bit of churn. Good or bad, its their choice too.

Now I want to make a pigeon mastermind!

The devs change lots of powers for their own reasons. occasionally they tell us why. Some we like, some we dont.

The healer/buffer has the right to use their powers as they choose. its a 2 way street. when we accept the team invite, there is a certain agreement as to cooperation.

at least it wasnt scimitars. Those would leave a mark.

The days of popping a yellow, 3 reds /aim/bu and nova joy. nothing left standing

My first 50 on live was an Energy/fire blaster. This was long before IOs and I learned quick how to place my shots. I was on a regular team which helped. When my wife leveled her PB we all learned to squash quantums. We were like a well oiled machine by the time we hit 50 with that set.

On live I had a storm troller running hurricane that insisted on standing next to my stone tank in granite during an ITF. we asked him to stop multiple times. No joy. He tried the "dont tell me how to play" spiel. Told him "Ok, do what you want solo" KICK. he was quite upset.

The second mission of Katie Hannon, the one with the 10 spawns, the mobs prioritize killing healers if you let them live that long. Do the same sort of thing. If you set the BAF mobs to do something similar, repel causes every mob in a a large area to bee line to the repeler and kill with extreme prejudice, you could leave their repel working(but just on the mobs in front). Power still works, you just have to live with the consequences. I do like the idea of people using creative out of the box ideas and the devs not breaking them.

You can get infamy from farting in the elevator.

Granite armor before they messed with stone

Mosh pit brutes coming soon.

This is a very good analysis of the subject. Thank you for putting it into words.
