Warwolves have such few joys in life. Let the puppies dance. Dance, doggies, DANCE!

You mean like this?: Although LGTF incorrectly list Vanguard DNA Metamatrix instead of Hero 1 DNA.

LIES!

You are right. I was wrong. I was going from memory and was thinking they acted like recipes and crafted set IOs. In fact, this is a lucrative corner of the market -- selling level 53 HOs.

Yes, these types are bundled by what they enhance, regardless of level or source. So a level 50 acc/dam HO is bundled with a level 35 acc/dam D-Sync, a level 40 acc/dam Titan-O, and level 43 acc/dam Hydra-O. You can also use them interchangeably to combine and boost a level. Note that D-Syncs have a few combinations that are unique to just D-Syncs and therefore have no comparable HO/TO/HyO to bundle with.

Wut? If you are referring to AboveTheChemist's post above yours then you and I are reading it very differently. If you're referring to some other post then I think you need to provide a quote or other context.

As stated by others, there is a "standard" amount of XP per critter of X rank and Y level, but that standard amount can be modified by a number of factors. "In the wild," certain critters or factions are given added or reduced XP. For example, Family as a group gives reduced XP at 50 as they were considered less dangerous as a whole; Rikti portals used to give XPs but that was removed and the Lts that summon them given bonus XP to compensate; and as stated above, Freaks has a sightly lower XP rate that is balanced by the few critters that rez for "bonus" XP. The AE also has XP modifiers for custom critters. They have to have at least one ranged attack and enough attacks or defenses to make them "worthy" of 100%. Additionally, custom critter factions need to have a mix of bosses, Lts, and minions to get full XP as the OG devs wanted to curb the appeal of Boss and EB farms.

Congrats on 50!

Are you willing to use LKN-351, its parts, or its derivation as part of your name. Frigid is taken (I just checked. Sometimes the obvious ones are still available) . But I bet Frigid LKN, Frigid 351, Frigid LichKiNg, or similar names are freely available.

But Widower, I know this much is Troo!

But Cypher, how will I be able to notify HC about people and things that irk me. Irk me real bad! Merry, merry. Happy, happy.

Pancakes must make bunny brains smarter. I agree with Ura Hero. I try not to do too many "within set" conversions, unless the set has only 3 pieces, like Blessing of the Zephyr, because then you have a 50-50 chance of getting the -KB piece in BoTZ because you have to convert to one of the other two pieces and not stay the same. I'll also do similarly when I get the worst piece in a good set, like the end/rech in Luck of the Gambler -- it would be great to have the +7.5 recharge but any of the other pieces would be fine too. Other than those types of situations, when I do convert within set, I try to limit it to 5 or 6 attempts at most. Flipping between categories is generally limited to once from uncommon to rare as I will usually only do the conversion when that is the known outcome. Flipping within rarity can go on a bit, but after about 5 or 6 flips I try to accept something that is "good enough".

Damn sad news. He spent the last month posting songs in the Jukebox thread: May he rest in peace.

IIRC an earlier version had minor damage

Please don't take this the wrong way, but so what? Does it affect you in anyway to have a thumbs-down or a hundred thumbs-down? From what I just tested, a thumbs-down does not reduce your forum rep, while a thumbs-up does increase your forums rep.

Yes, there are caps to every player stat. Some are universal, some vary by AT. Here's a list from the Wiki: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Limits

Growth. Players need to feel their characters are growing and the game itself has to grow to keep it from getting stale.

Why have you abandoned us @Jimmy? Did we do something wrong? (and by "we" I mainly mean Luminara) Are you OK? It's been over six months!

I don't respec unless I have a Mids build ready and waiting on a separate window. Even with that, I mess up respecs. I've had to back track several times. And on a few occasions, I had to respec my respec. FML

I am all in on a shuriken blast set and then give it weapon proliferation: darts, knifes, frisbees, whatever!

You can't buy or sell from yourself. And the highest bid buys the lowest price offered. But you knew these things, I assume.

I disavow any credit for this insanity! Have I ever told you about my tank slotted almost exclusively with Taunt sets?
