Confirming this bug. I was coming to report it myself. Steps to repeat: 1. Get Stalagmites Power 2. Change appearance to lava 3. Use Stalagmites and notice lava theme 4. Build seismic pressure until you trigger Seismic Shockwaves 5. Use Stalagmites again and notice that Enhanced Stalagmites uses default stone theme and color, not lava theme.

Measure twice, post once. 😜

Ooooh!

I will talk smack to you and then tell you how great your costumes are . . . if I ever see you in game.

How about Ukase University's Master Class?

There could, and perhaps should, be additional university classes for "Set Inventions and Bonuses," "Auction Houses, Black Markets, and You," and "Converting for Pleasure or Profit." Similar to the existing University tutorial, each Professor would send you to the next Professor upon completing the training. "Set Inventions and Bonuses" should give you the assignment to create an uncommon set IO of your level (level 25 or over) with four choices: Melee Damage (Focused Smite), Ranged Damage (Ruin), Endurance Modification (Efficiency Adapter), or Health (Harmonized Healing). The Professor then instructs you to look at the set bonuses and explains the Rule of Five. Finally, he tells you to visit the Professor for "Auction Houses, Black Markets, and You" before slotting your new IO. "Auction Houses, Black Markets, and You" instructs you to visit the AH or BM, tells you how to search for certain items, explains "bundling," and assigns you to purchase a matching recipe piece to the one you already bought along with the required salvage. I guess the Professor will either need to give you a token that allows these purchases for free, or more realistically just hands out a million or two of influence in the form of a Student Loan. You come back to the Professor to craft your second set IO and this Professor once again asks you not to slot it until completing the next class and advises that you can transact business "online" via /AH unless in a base or mission. You are then sent to . . . "Converting for Pleasure or Profit" will introduce the student to the Conversion UI and Converters. Another Student Loan will provide a single merit to buy 3 converters and some funds to purchase 3 more at the AH/BM. You return to show your Professor that you have 6 converters. The Professor instructs you on the option to convert by Rarity, Category, or Set. The Student is instructed to look at the set bonuses of the items they crafted and assigned to look at the Auction House (in person or by /AH) and look at other Sets in the same category. The last lesson: Should you: a) slot what you crafted in university, b) convert what you crafted in university, c) sell what you crafted at the university, or d) some combination of a, b, and c. "Whatever you choose," the Professor tells you that, "you have chosen wisely, for only you can decide what is best for you!" The Professor then directs you to go speak with the Dean or some administrator. They advise you that it is time to pay back your student loan. You are given the option to pay now or later. If you pay now, you get your diploma (souvenir) and a "Master Crafter" badge. If you don't pay now, you can pay later to obtain the diploma and badge. Sign me up for SIB 201, ABY 302, and CPP 403!

And get a team that I can join. I joined a team of Rando's!

No, I mean superimpose the "No" on top of the arrow bullseye that means "Hit"

Suggestion: Same icon with the "No" circle and red line.

Thanks, ATC. Great mod and appreciate the constant updates.

That could never happen! Oh . . . wait . . .

I think it's your slotting in maneuvers in game. You have 5.78 in Mids but only 3.21 in game. You also have hover on in game but not in the Mids Build.

Those specific ones, I believe, are not flagged as "set bonuses" unlike the LoTG +recharge, which is flagged as a set bonus.

Some people like the challenge of figuring out how to do it. Some folks enjoy being surprised. Some like playing on the razor's edge where a split second decision means the difference between life and death. And others just like to complete the hardest content for bragging rights. For all those people, playing ASF on relentless would be fun. For many it would not be fun at all. As time goes on, the puzzling aspects are solved, the surprise is gone, so many have done it that bragging seems silly, and without those there are less chances of dancing on the razors edge. I'm waiting for the video of Voltak doing a Master ASF run, solo with all challenges. 😛

Granny told me to beware of wolves bearing gifts.

Daedalus has two arcs that are short and helpful to get some of these badges: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Daedalus In the last mission of Stolen Power, "Restore the Tabula Scutum," you'll find a 15 to 20 critter ambush of Voids if running at /x8. In his other arc, Future Threat, he has a mission with a warehouse full of Crey including Gamma Tanks and Cryogenicists. But the best source for Voids, Lycanthropes, both Creys and Vanguard is the new ASF. You can set it at +0/x8 at base (villainous) level and obtain them if you can solo an AV with the help of envenomed daggers and pets. Or just look for a team -- as the new thing there seems to be people running it all the time. Earlier in the arc there is a mission with Crey that has more than usual amount of Cryogenicists as there are several named bosses in addition to standard spawned ones. Voids and Lycanthropes are in the 5th Column dimension. The Voids are usually in their own little grouping of 5-8 with a cyst. The Dark Vampyri transform to Lycanthropes at low health, so be careful not to kill them before they transform. After that there is a Vanguard Dimension. You only have to kill Apex to get out or you can just kill standard Vanguards and let the dimension time out.

What a cagey bird!

I would place 5 really large bids on hundreds of different items across salvage, recipes, IOs, etc. It will be a nice X-mas gift for many sellers but will also "paint" the last 5 with the really large number resulting in confusion and consternation. Repeat with different items everyday until you run out of money.

Hard to describe. There's definitely a warning clarion.

Listen for the sound as well.

Me too, on my namesake, an Inv/SS tank. Villainous and +0 and made it to last mission by skipping some, liberally using pets and envenomed daggers, and just out lasting AVs. Still going slowly in between working and chores and whatnot. Aaaand . . . done. With some GM help. The Midas ripples were broken. Nothing to defeat in two of them so no way to get back to main Midas. But it was hot patched a fix and should be good to go. Battle Becky is some nice extra DPS and fairly sturdy! Got my BFF badge (Bionic Flea's Friend).

Uhh . . . medium?

But Faultline, why don't you tell us how evil you are?

I did play strong safety in high school . . .
