Scarlet Shocker

I can only report what I experienced, hence posting here. It did seem like strange behaviour but you seem not to have experienced the same issue.

I have a related but different question - when the bar pops up is there a way to automate the activation of a power in it. The only way I know of is literally mouse click but some form of key press would be great.

Ah thanks! Good answers folks, thanks for your input.

I noticed they spawned after a hami raid the other day and people seemed to delight in killing them but what do they do and why should we care?

That's what I figured. It makes no sense that it should enhance one or the other I found the best place to slot it was in the AH where it made me some good inf but I think it should be looked at!

Happy wossname and may your god(s) go with you

Apology accepted with thanks! I'm glad you were able to get what I was trying to put across. And it does sound like you need a break from the game wihch might do you some good - I've taken many breaks myself. No matter how good the game is, sometimes you can have too much fo a good thing so enjoy your downtime and doing different and catch you when you return maybe! Happy christmas and all that!

you could always make your avatar taller! 🤣 I play a lot of controllers and I find the pets to be generally very well behaved; they are definitely worth their picks. I think VS needs considerable reworking to make it viable as a pick.

Well, at least one person loves you. So it's not as bad as it first appeared

How big is Santa’s sack? big enough to hold all his balls (I hope)

nobody's making you play it. Haters gonna hate

I think one guy in the gif missed the point more than me. I dislike XP boosts but I do use them sometimes, because they exist. I'm also generally against taking stuff away - I take the view that it's better not to add something than to add it and then remove it later. We have them, we don't need to use them, but to take them away would create a good deal of hassle that the Devs probably don't want to deal with, so meh

But you have them.

No, not what I'm saying. Personally I think they are entirely unnecessary and I see no real reason for them to exist. I'm just saying we have our best game back for good and we don't need anything more, so be satisfied with what we have.

That is not a selling point It's not like a troller pet which can largely be trusted. It's a wild card that can kill the player. Is that a worthy T8 power?

nice things nice things Because some very amazing people worked very hard, and took risks, we have the nicest nicest thing. What more do you want?

the problem is that XP boosts exist. There is no need for them. We have our game back and your argument defeats them. Why not simply remove them? Take them out of the game and the problem is solved

There's a spider in my bathtub Please help!

to be completely serious for a moment here - they aren't hoping you'll buy something, they want to disrupt our environment as much as possible. That this is the worst they can do is a pretty good appraisal of the security here so good on the team!

There's a bit to unpack there so let's try: Nobody makes you use a 2XP boost. It's entirely optional - you can go at your own pace even when teaming. Personally I tend to use a 50% XP boost, which still gives me inf to get started, while getting me through those first 20 levels or wherever I see the character needing to be. I'm also spending a lot more time Redside and exploring content more which is interesting. There's a few gems there I've not encountered before, so it's a win-win and when I do team I still get a goodly amount of XP. While I'd agree that XP boosts generally are unnecessary, I suspect we would be in the minority because people want to get to 50 fast, regardless of the fact that in my eyes at least, the journey is the destination. You only need to see the shouts in Excelsior's Pocket D for people wanting to be carried along (which I have done, but found unrewarding once I got to 50.) In other words, we're stuck with it, and must provide our own solution to that issue. Your blindingly intense wall of text wasn't able to let me see what server you play on. Go to one with lower pop density, team, RP, play the game as intended. Find an active SG/VG on your server and join them. Just because they do it that way doesn't mean you have to be sheeple. Play the game. Have fun with it. DXP boosts are the least of our worries in any environment.

It's possible. I think I've got a handle on some of it at least now so when my next bout of altitis strikes I shall 'speriment

When it comes to ERP, SAP is the gold standard, and most people will be aware of it. Microsoft Dynamics is a close contender as well and integrates better across most platforms. Oracle also have their own offering. Personally I'm a big fan of Syscom ERP since it runs across platforms and is (comparatively) inexpensive and tends to scale to smaller sized enterprises than SAP or Dynamics. Hope that helps

It does sound like there's a case to be made for different versions for different ATs. I get that it adds flavour, but when I played Scarlet regularly on live VS was a turd and it doesn't sound like it's improved any since.

Thanks! That looks like it was what I'm looking for!
