Ridiculous Girl

i want to know if any have been secretly playing on HC servers, recreating their original toons, only to have GM Crumpet generic them... 😁

https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=pets.radiation_melee.irradiated_ground&at=minion_pets city of data states that it is fire damage, even though the text there states toxic also. so it is probably a text error...

i have 620 alts on two servers... i want this name thing to happen since i am prolific altoholic. sometimes i come up with all kinds ridiculous alts, sometimes several a day with their own unique costume, only to leave them at level 1. i have no desire to generic them myself, but i would be perfectly happy if someone wanted to take lubris, udderly ridiculous, or who knows? from me if they wished. i know i am part of the problem, but i'm ridiculous, what do you want? 😁

oop! i was mistaken... i had super gyro! but luckily gyro 1 was not taken either, so i took it too! 😎

i got gyro 1! i can't believe that it was not taken! now i just have to figure out what to do with it. other than maybe start a fast food restaurant in atlas. 😁

says the person that has to substitute an 0 for an o to get a name... 😛

there must be a hole somewhere! 😁

i really do not know if this is a WAI thing or not... but i am really curious if this is Working As Intended™️! the other day someone on help was asking why their macro to apply their thermals shields was not working. apparently they were in a TF and a bit distracted while people were trying to respond. it was basically "powexecname thermal shield$$powexecname plasma shield" to which most responses, mine included, were that that macro cannot work to applying two powers using the same simple macro. that it would only apply the first applicable power, last in the string, when they hit the button multiple times. they insisted that it should, that they had done it before, maybe that they had used it on live. what happened after was a lot people gave ideas on alternative for macros and binds to make that work. the OP then had a moment and posted their original macro using not powexec but powexectoggleon instead, which i had never used myself, so my interest was piqued. their macro was basically something like this... "powexectoggleon thermal shield$$powexectoggleon plasma shield". it had an extra space that broke the string and we corrected it. lo and behold, when i tried it on my demons/thermal MM, it worked! the funny thing is it was not a toggle power, which really got me interested. it tried it for my OG ridiculous girl with speed boost and increase density, it worked also. it was a nice macro. it tried many variations like "powexectoggleon concentration$$powexectoggleon psychic focus" and "powexectoggleon psychic wail$$powexectoggleon psychic shockwave" which could be used in succession. it also worked in combination with powexec, "powexecname cinders$$powexectoggleon inertial reduction" for example as well as "powexectoggleon cinders$$powexectoggleon inertial reduction". but "powexectoggleon inertial reduction$$powexecname cinders" would not work for the usual reasons. when i watched to see why it would work, it would only work if i hit the button twice in quick succession. if it was not used fast enough, it would try to activate only the first power again. it would only work when the first power was in its time of activation. for instance, speed boost has an activation time of 1.188 seconds (accord to COD for controler kinetics). if i activated the macro and hit it again, within that time, it would activate the second power. but apparently only after the first power was completely activated. so you could not add a third power to the string, i guess, because the window for activating the third had closed when the first power had completed its activation. BUT! i started fooling around more. i found that powers with zero activation times did not count, so i tried "powexectoggleon rebirth radial epiphany$$powexectoggleon ion radial final judgement$$powexectoggleon support core embodiment" which worked. since the hybrid control support power has a zero activation time. which all lead me to try something ridiculous... 😄 behold my FRANKENMACRO!!! powexectoggleon barrier core epiphany$$powexectoggleon ion radial final judgement$$powexectoggleon support core embodiment$$powexectoggleon sprint$$powexectoggleon athletic run$$powexectoggleon jetpack which, incidently works if i go slow on activating the zero activation time powers and then quickly with the last two. so, after all of this fooling around, i have to wonder... is this working as it should? it seems a bit weird, and i have not really pushed the limits of what it can do. i was just having fun with something new, but the activating two powers in sequence only under the activation time seems odd, as well as being able to string non-zero activation time powers. i had not seen anyone else using powexectoggleon for anything else but to activate toggle powers. i will further abuse this to see what i can do for amusement sake. 😁

i was getting exploration badges in the hollows, when i decided to drop a slightly out leveled mission to retake. it was doc buzzsaw's "loot the unsuspecting council" mission. i abandoned it, and then i could not find the contact any more, not under active nor inactive contacts. it was only when i went to ourobouros, that the contact became active again. i had one level outstanding that needed to be trained, level 34 to 35. i also dropped mercedes sheldon's first mission first, because it was even more out leveled.

not sure where this should go since it is related to an emote... but mender holly has what you could call a drinking problem. 😄

so... i just realised that when i use the wisp overlord costume that speech has an unfortunate place of origin. 😁 added, because i make myself laugh... 😁 editted: i just realised that it may be because the costume slot costume is using the shortest character size possible.

i usually craft and convert a stack of 70 of the same enhancements at a time. but every time i want to convert within the same category (ie. healing defense, resist) i need to reset it because it always defaults to the rarity setting. if i wanted to convert within a set, it stays as the default. every time i convert by rarity, it stays at the default. but 99% of the time i convert within category, and it never stays as default. i never, ever use the rarity setting unless by accident. often watching a 2-5 million inf enhancement convert to a 100k enc in one fell swoop... 😕 i would like to propose that if it is the same enhancement being converted as the last one, that conversion option "in category" rests as the default. at 45,000 IO sets crafted and converted, this is an extra step that i really, really could do without and it would make thing so much better. 🙂 thank you for listening to my whining. 😄

my number 1 travel rule is... pee while you can! 😁

i have encountered a few problems with the camera, some really messed up setting that i could not resolve unless i reloaded everything. i am not sure if this is what is needed, but under menu/ options/ keymapping there is a setting that you can revert from "modern" to "classic" and i am pretty sure that will resolve the problem.

i bought the wisp overlord hologram costume and it will not display the mace weapon from the mace mastery weapon pool. it will display temp power weapons like shotgun, or accolade weapons like stolen immobilizer ray, but not the mace weapon in combat and out. what mace weapon choice makes no difference either, none work. 🙂

ok, i made the HC launcher search for an update, and it updated, it is all good now. 🙂

it was updated first, this is post-update, post-mainentance. there is nothing to update.

i tried to access ridiculous girl, who is parked in ouroboros, after the emergency maintainence and game update, and as the loading screen was almost finished the game crashed. i tried several times, rebooting the downloader and game, and same game crash. i logged into another alt, marvelous chin, who was parked in cimerora, when i moved him to ouroboros the game crashed and he is now inaccesible. i then tried to computer reboot, and it is still crashing the game if i try to access either toon. i filed a game client crash report with full download of memory dump. no one else seems to be reporting this problem, nor having trouble accessing ouroboros. HELP!

that is assuming a straight slope rather than a curved. by june it could easily even out at about 2500-2750... though around 2400 would probably be more likely in six months. 😎

Maybe a 1000 of those enhancements sold are generic IOs, the rest are IO sets. i have my niche, and it is casual crafting. i'll craft first thing in the morning, while drinking my coffee and put 70 up on the market. i might do another 70 in the evening after playing, while i am just downtiming and ready to log off for the night. i get a return of maybe 5x from what i invested in materials. i put aside about billion a week or two, it depends. I could probably craft a whole lot more, but then that just takes away from playing. since i am a chronic altoholic, i have lots of baby alts to feed, this keeps them well fed. 😎

i was just running into this when i was looking at my robots/rad MM, that i only had three places to put my MM ATOs. which is severely affecting my full use of the ATOs. where i am seriouly considering placing one set for a 5 slot bonus and the other for a 3 slot bonus and ditching the rest. what is strange is that one secondary like trick arrow, on a controller for example; i can put ATOs in a couple of powers there too, like entangling arrow and ice arrow. so it is easy to get the controller ATO set benefits for the immob and holds, etc, with 3 double and 2 triple bonus bundlings. (sorry, i am super tired if that does not make any sense... 😄 ) my bot/rad MM gets the shaft with 3 powers for slotting ATOs, while my ARS/TA troller gets 9 powers! long story short, i fully support opening the attack powers to ATOs for an MM, it makes sense because of the severe limitations otherwise. going back to bed. i'll read this in the morning and see if it makes any sense... 😬

i just discovered Ice Mistral's ice bra... i want an ICE BRA! 😁 and the skull bra too...

this is what my grav/time set-up looks like, but it is with an unlimited budget and to my own tastes and play style. what is not shown is what i also have from the teleportation pool; teleport, teleport target, and fold space. also not shown is the three end procs in health and two in stamina; miracle +rec, numina +rec, panacea +end, with performance shifter end mod and +end. he plays right in the middle of the action, usually dropping mobs right on the tank's head or on top of the singularity. singularity has a negative repel that pulls in mobs, drawing them in, that is why i like it in the middle rather than off to the side when it follows. typical solo attack chain is... drop distortion field, wormhole to me, crushing field, teleport target to me for the singularity, then picking off mobs with propel and lift. typical team attack chain is... follow tank/brute closely, distortion field, wormhold/fold space, TP singularity to me, etc... this is the TP to me macro that i use, it can find the singularity anywhere on the map and tp to yourself with two taps on the button. /macro_image "Teleportation_Loyalist" TPsing "pet_select_name (insert pet name here with no parentheses)$$powexec_location me teleport target"

i hate to follow the crowd but i am also working on a AR/TA troller and it plays so differently from other trollers that i have had. in the biography i called it a recon unit, and on a team it is exactly that. i run ahead with cloaking device, drop flash arrow and smoke canister on the group ahead, when the rest of the team catches up and engages, i drop the other control powers, debuffing etc, on the group. i work on some of the bosses with arcane bolt, which i happily learned works with containment and can proc for 3x damage. when the rest are mopping up, i run ahead and find the next group. i've played no other troller like this and it makes for a really interesting solo and team combo. tear gas is a hoot, everyone vomits! 😄 i asked for exactly the same thing!
