I get grumpy when i see Cold or Thermal without the shields, or if they take it and never cast it. I generally don't say anything, but I do get grumpy.

What? There have been new power sets for the last several pages.

I can't really think of any hard-and-fast rules that would go with every build. For example, I usually build for soft capped Ranged and AoE defense on my squishies, but that goes out the window when looking at Dominators or Illusion Controllers, where recharge is more important. Also, armored toons without DDR generally focus mostly on resistance, but something like Dark Armor can still benefit from some defense.

AMD Radeon user here (and Linux to boot) so this doesn't apply to me... BUT... I personally hate that on Windows driver updates can be tied to software as opposed to just standalone installers. I have heard that Nvidia learned some stuff with the new app and so it doesn't take up quite as many resources running in the background though.

As you stated, Warshades get status protection in Black Dwarf. Additionally, you can toggle on Black Dwarf while mezzed.

Agreed, even after the nerf, its a beautiful thing.

I should point out that this is not an efficient way to get ATOs. ATOs generally run 8-10 million inf, while 100 merits can get you a Winter IO which will sell for ~20 million inf

The other advantage of having it in START is that the one in Pocket D is usable while in a TF. Since START grants powers, I'd assume it can grant tokens as well.

I don't remember the exact percentage off the top of my head, but 30 is when they overtake even-level SOs, just by a small amount though.

You can do some bind work to make it so the emote happens whenever you press your Forward key, however. It's not a perfect solution, in that it doesn't work 100% of the time. I've often wondered... We now have different "run" stances we can use via the costume creator, could that be expanded to the fly poses as well?

If you're on Everlasting, Repeat Offenders exists. We're not anywhere near as active as we were on Live, but I always start in our global channel when looking for or starting a team.

You're level 27, so I would look at purchasing level 30 Common IOs from the AH. With a little patience, you can get all of them for 50k each or less. This is a bit more than an SO at that level, but you never have to replace or upgrade them, so it works out in the long run. Also, if you are buying set IOs, you can purchase them pre-attuned from the AH for the same price as the un-attuned. This saves you having to purchase a catalyst. The only things you need catalysts for are turning ATOs/Winter IOs into their Superior counterparts. I would also suggest dropping either the recharge or one of the end redux in Spinning Strike for an accuracy instead.

Is it really trolling if you're trolling a troll?

Man, The Critic was such an underrated show.

I just found out that the Captain Picard face-palm was turned into a bust in 2019... I wonder if you can still purchase them.

Both the live and HC devs have said that animation time is locked in and any changes would need new animations. Also, if you didn't change activation time but did change animation time, wouldn't you just be stuck doing nothing for the difference?

Doom?

That would require every power have multiple animations, one "normal" speed and one " sped up" speed.

If they have access to the tools (pretty sure they don't) the agreement they signed almost certainly prevents the LM from distributing it.

Well shoot, nobody ever told *me* that!

The shards all run on the same physical server (except the European one, of course). If they added a second physical server, regardless of the location, it would increase the cost of upkeep.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a false positive in that Mids just see regen as regen, whether positive or negative, and therefore shows it enhancing.

Staff is considered low damage, but it does bring in things like the +resist in Sky Splitter, which, depending on your build, could be useful. Also, Staff in Granite form is just about as funny as some of the MA attacks in Granite.

I'm almost positive you can't enhance -regen. I'd either slot an Accurate defense rebuff set or a Lysosome instead.

This thread is full of win.
