Scarlet Shocker

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!

I have an Archery/EM blaster. He's a mutation, elven Scientologist called Elrond Hubbard

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!

It was taken. I went for a Plant/Earth Dominator and called it Hammer Thyme

I've seen costumes with different legs too. Not just a bit different but markedly so. I thought there were options to have different arms and legs, not just the robotic options

This makes me feel bad because it portrays the devs in an unfavourable light, petty and mean which is quite sad. That said, I don't find it unbelievable at all 😕

I get that powers are inherently skippable - but that should not apply to a T8 power surely? Sounds like it's a deliberate gimp of an already low power attack set. I'm trying to think of the logic behind that.

Great, another item from the Apple store: iTwitch A stupidly overpriced device for live streaming gamers

why can't I find a way to get one leg looking cooler than the other?

Yay, you can travel to somewhere really miserable and scary, and leave Dark Astoria behind. And you'll need that service to prevent getting piston broke.

If you already have four svields, you already have two pair already

Clearly it's not where you are. Otherwise you'd be here too

That is a thing of beauty!

I presented my data raw because I'd originally begun with the hypothesis that there would be an obvious candidate for being sub-optimal. That proved not to be the case - which means we have to look at it in the round against the sets as a whole, rather than single powers. I like what you've done but I think to get a real value we need somebody good at Stats and equations to say the total value of this set is N and the best/worst power(s) within that set that contribute to that factor is Y etc
