Ridiculous Girl

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!

i have a long list... i have costume needs not being met! hair: mullet hairstyle 80's big hair/ poofy bangs clothes: daisy dukes cut-off jean short (male, female, huge options) a codpiece (male, huge) bustier (male, huge options) feathered torso and legs (monstrous legs and normal, tight) (male, female, huge) skull bra! (it exists already in game) skull codpiece overalls (top only if necesary, jacket option?) weapons: a herring a salmon a baguette a butter knife (broadsword and titan weapon) a spork finger guns turkey leg (war mace) emote: hand mirror

i am sorry i do not have a picture at this moment, i will have to run it again. but i just finished a positron 1 taskforce with my level 24 AC/TA controller. the leader of the taskforce started as level 12, ran a full team at +1/8. all went well, until i noticed that a trigun was summoned by a doppleganger. this should not be possible, since it is a tier 9 power and should only be available level 26, though possible to use at level 21. we were no where near that level, and it definitely should not have been there. i will add a picture, when i run it again and if it is reproducable. 🙂

this is fun! i usually use AI generators to do more abstract stuff. but i figured a would try this for kicks. so i made the OG Ridiculous Girl (fire/fire blaster) from live. bing prompt: cel shaded comic book style, wide angle, very tall woman smiling, with orange hair, orange leather bustier, tight orange leather pants with a fire stripe on the sides, knee-high platform boots, standing outdoors amidst burning wreckage i was most recently using AI art for generating images for my dreams; i don't remember the prompt, it was something like; couple, man and woman, sitting outside under a tree, it is nighttime, lit by gas lantern, with a farmhouse in the background. another dream, AI prompt: snowman sitting at table in a kitchen, drinking coffee. this all makes me want to experiment with my computer art again... normally i do abstract mandalas using photo manipulation and some AI generation supplementing the abstractions... i have been using movie stills as a seed image. seed photo: from Dune initial mandala: final image (that i could find) thank you for getting me addicted again! 😄

i have a baby troller, AC/TA, and i just learned that arcane bolt from the sorcery pool is great power. not only does it do double damage when you get the "containment", but it will sometimes proc and instantly recharge, and with containment, it will do triple damage! it has changed my how i am playing that controller. that said... normally controllers are very damage poor until later when they get their pet. but on teams they are great at their job, which is crowd control. holds and immobilises are your specialty, as well as buffs and debuffs. damage is not as important. but if you want an extra, good damage power i would highly suggest looking into getting arcane bolt. 🙂

i am wondering if it would not proc and ignite because it takes 1.15 seconds to cast oil slick and the proc fires off at cast. that would explain why others have not had it work. 🙂

yeah, I noticed this one, thought it strange. but since the always follows so well and close, and it sort of made sense to me (tanky, nonteleportable), i accepted it. this works for me also. 🙂 i saw a bunch of complaints about this, though my counter was it was like another, similar ice power, ice slick, that did not accept slow encs and sets. but this works for me too. i am very glad to see this closed off too. nice to see that the DEVS (🎶 AHHHHH! 🎶) listen and make changes that reflect that. 😄 i feel now is a good time to ask when we will get a mullet hairdo option, daisy dukes cut-off jean shorts (female, male and huge options), finger pistol weapon customisation, food item related sword and titan weapons customisations (a baguette, a herring, a butter knife), etc... i have character customisation needs that are not being met! thank you! 😁

oil slick does indeed ignite with fire and energy. in fact i use the magic origin apprentice charm to light it, if i have a /TA that does not have a fire/engergy power. i have a macro to target the oil slick and fire off the apprentice charm to light it. just click twice, once to target and once to fire off the charm /macro_image "TalonsOfVengeance_MorbidCut" "TGT" "Target_name oil slick$$powexec_location target apprentice charm"

noticed this when i was leveling my arsenal/TA troller... under flashbang power description, it should say "chance to hit" and not "chance ot hit". 🙂

i do not find that this is the case, and i am on excelsior. in fact, when a person fills a team and then mentions that it will be a speed run, without advertising it as such, in my experience more often than not several people on the team will rebel against that. i cannot recall a case of someone ever falsely advertising a speed run. i find that most team leaders advertise on LFG exactly what their intentions are. most speed runs seem to be grouped around certain TFs; the WST specifically is the worst offender, but there are a few others. this is not to say that it does not happen, but 95% of the time i know if i am getting on a normal run or not. i do try to counteract this kind of behavior by giving every person forming a team, even if it is a dfb, a three star rating and a note what the team was. if i randomly PUG with them more than 5 times they get a four star rating. but if they pull that old switcheroo, and announce it's a speed run after team formation, they get bumped down to two stars and a mean note. maybe even a one star if they are a jerk about it. but i look, every time, at who's forming teams. i will not team with someone that pulls a stunt like that. though there have been a fair number of cases where some teammate will act like it is a speed run, doing so without asking the team or the leader. people that do this automatically get a one star from me, a scathing note, and a possible ignore.

well, i'll be darned, it does work! we were having problems with line of sight and cross map TPs but this does seem to work correctly, in all instances of testing so far. thank you! 🙂 /macro_image "Teleportation_Loyalist" TPsing "pet_select_name [PET NAME]$$powexec_location me teleport target"

i made an arsenal control/trick arrow controller, and it really does not feel right to have both a rifle and a bow and to constantly switch between the two. as well, i have ideas for other arsenal control toons, but for a control set that does not actually use the rifle to shoot bullets, having only a rifle option for a weapon is a bit strange. both break the role playing (something or other, insert word later 😅) immersion. i would like to suggest the possibility of having both... 1) a crossbow-like option for an AC/TA controller combo, one that does not require a constant model switch 2) a launch tube/mortar-like or mace-like weapon for only controllers and non-AA dominators. i am sure it is not easy, since those would probably require some animation substitutes, but it would be greatly appreciated. 🙂 other than that, i love the arsenal sets, just need more weapon options to help with RP purposes. 😁

since it i a ranged AOE i would put in the annihilation set with the -res, and not much else, except maybe recharge. 🙂 the damage is wrong on the description though.

oops, i forgot to answer your question directly... 😄 no, you cannot target the singularity and another target to TP to at the same time. one target at a time, hence the reason for the macro that gives a location other than target. 😎

it has a -90% run speed debuff, etc, but nothing more. it does not accept slow enhancements, it is just built that way. sort of like how tar patch affects speed and accepts slow encs, but you cannot change the built-in -res effect. so in this case, LN does not accept slow encs, but it does accept AOE damage IO sets. in fact, now looking around it is almost exactly like ice slick under ice control. 🙂

the funny thing is that i needed a similar macro for my singularity, but what i wanted to do is teleport it to myself with out having to find it. i wanted this because with my grav/time troller, i was always in the middle of the fight, using wormhole and foldspace to drop mobs on the tank, or myself. but the singularity was always away from the center and i wanted it in the middle of all the action. i thought a simple macro would be easy enough, except it was not. i needed the macro to select the pet and then to TP it to me, with one button. the second part was easy. it was selecting the pet that proved difficult. the problem was that selecting the pet by name worked if the pet was in your LOS (line of sight), if it was being slow and you could not see it, you could not macro it automatically. it took a long time figuring this out and someone smarter than i finally figured it out for me. the petselect will choose the first pet on your pet list (0 is the first) and it does not need LOS, the singularity can be anywhere on the map. so the first click will be to select your first pet, and the second click will be to tp it to yourself. hence, the macro 😎 /macro_image "Teleportation_Loyalist" TPsing "pet_select 0$$powexec_location me teleport target" the one limit that i have found with this is with the troller ATO enc bonuses, they spawn temporary pets that occasionally take the number one place, instead of your singularity. but at the start of the fight you will probably not have these. this will only TP to yourself, since your target is the singularity. there are ways to fiddle with the destination, but those take others commands and make things much too complicated, but try this link. i hope that helps! 😁

for a more complete bug report, try to take photos if you can. so far i have only encountered archon bosses, or LTs if difficulty was lower. but other types encountered would be useful if documented. 🙂
