Oh, you mean when the exception is bigger than the rule? Thanks for explaining that to me.

Tell that to just about every Marvel and DC hero who has, at one time or another, been forced to work with a Nemesis "for the greater good" or other trope.

They would pay me to play? I'm in!

I like all the teleporting critters. It's true that Porters are the least dangerous of the three, but someone's gotta be on the bottom.

I don’t think - at least I hope - that anyone saying the game is too easy is illogical enough to be saying that because of +0 speed runs. The problem is definitely much worse: that in fact +4 is too easy. It's a little bit of both, I think. There are some people who have made murder-machines optimized to the nth degree that can solo +4/x8 TFs and they feel most things are too easy. There are an even larger group of people that run full teams at +0; a team of random PUGers at just about any level can steamroll through most content. They also find stuff too easy. Both groups of players could increase their challenge in different ways; some already do. But what the devs are proposing with "Hard-Mode" is something that will make those murder machines stop and think, "maybe I should slow down and bring some friends." While the +0 full teams might just think, "woah, these guys are tougher than Council."

Don't forget that you have Meltdown for an additional 20% resist to all, UNSLOTTED, for 60 seconds.

Obviously, I don't think so, or my build would be closer to yours. But you do you! If you prefer the resists to the defense, go for it.

Rad/Dark is one of my favorite tanks - 1000 point perma-absorb, capped to high resists, virtually unlimited endurance, two-personal heals, one team heal, a no-crash T9, pretty high damage with Soul Drain and Meltdown, soft-capped defense - all these can be yours . . . with a good build. Here's mine:

I hope that everyone with concerns about this new TF hits the test server when it comes out and tries it with and without hard-mode at least once, if not several times with different ATs, powers, levels, and slotting -- from god-like incarnates to mid-level SO only builds -- and then give their constructive criticism. I have a feeling it is coming SoonTM. My question is:

Nerf Blue Spiders! I mean, yay, new stuff!

I disagree!

Jordan: I don't like the way you play! Ewing: Well, I don't like the way you play! You think you're so good at this game.

All will be revealed . . . SoonTM

He gives a rundown at the beginning. As I recall, Sonic, FF, Dark, Kin, Elec, Cold.

Congrats! You are crazier than I thought you were! I can barely bring myself to finish one badger.

Some people are merit rich and inf poor because they run lots of TFs and story arcs, but don't want to mess with the market or farm. For those, buying with merits makes sense. But it's also appropriate to point out that it's "cheaper" to buy IOs with Inf. Some don't realize they can use merits to buy converters to either sell or convert IOs and then sell those.

One of the sturdiest, funnest tanks I have ever made was Rad/Dark. Capped resists to S/L/E/F/T without Meltdown. With Meltdown add capped Negative, Cold at 83 and Psy at 72. Softcapped Melee, 36 to S/L/F/C, 20ish to everything else. And then add perma 1000 point absorb shield, 2 heals that do damage, endless endurance, tons of tohit debuffs, and excellent ST and AoE damage, capable of almost self capping damage for a few seconds with Meltdown and saturated Soul Drain with a Gaussian's Proc.

Outside Aeon Plaza, Jimmy McMillan says the costs in /AH are too damn high!
