Twice in the last week (on Everlasting) we tried to start a TF and someone was not quite the right level. Both times we ran a couple radios and solved the problem. No drama. I love Everlasting. It is everyone Doing their part too. I was trying to level a lowbie blaster redside and someone was pulling a team in the 45 range. There were some new players in the team and when the mayhem came up they really Wanted to try it Do i have to say it? Team wipe out and trip to jail. I sent a tell i was alting and came back on my main. A Brute designed by Hyperstrike that cannot be killed except by MoM death patches. Went to the jail. Killed everything. Tanked as team headed to the bank. It was a team effort, from Hyperstrikes design to the team leader to the new players rolling with the craziness of a mathem. And we robbed that bank, like real heroes! /em holdchicken

From what i can tell Dr Aeon has always had control of a ‘certain company’ and has been working to amass power through control if it and the soace time continuum. However the Menders have been working diligently to clean the time threads and truncate his evil abuses. Many times they use unknown Heroes, Vigilantes, Rogues, and yes even Villains ti accomplish these tasks we will never submit to evil control of our lives /em holdchicken Homecoming

I am pretty bad about this. In fact as soon as i get a character it starts. I know i want 1 acc 2 dam. So even if i am doing DFB and using the prestige procs from P2W i have to put a training acc in the first slot. Because 1acc then 2 damage. That is how it goes. Everybody knows that there is a great villain or vigilante character that can be born from this somehow ”it really does have ample cargo space” Dexter Morgan while fitting the car salesman’s body in the minivan

Cannot believe i havent tried this yet. But i had not. I am an old stick in the mud running invul tanks and brutes with SS and DM lol i rolled one for an ugly character contest and then just ran them through 4 DFBs. Went to sleep. Got up this morning and ran through (in this order) Synapse, Posi2, Posi1, 1st blue Respec, and a Manticore. I am not disliking it it is possible i might even add it to my narrow list of characters i really enjoy smashing with so... i am taking a SS/Invul Build and trying to slam that into the Rad/Invul. The fit is not perfect but it gives me the basics. I am wondering if the 2 PBAoEs make it easier ti hit build goals or harder. anyone have a Super Tanky build for this? I am throwing all the usual suspects at it

This is very useful information. It appears to be exactly what i am looking for. Thanks now i do not know how to use it i want to set up 2 variations. 1). Drop Blizzard on someones head. Hiw do i bind this? Do not say /powexec_location target Blizzard. Where is the key bind in that? I am not typing it out each time i would rather hunt the cursor lol the second variation is just max range directly in front of me. For when things arent cooperating. Again my confusion here is where does the keybind go in this? Sorry i am new to key binds. I use exactly 1. About 10-20 times per toon. /bind x “pow_exec_name brawl”. And that is the sum total of my keybind knowledge. So i look at the command and do not comprehend where the ‘key x” argument fits again thanks

I would love some help here. I use a Razer mouse and a razer keypad for all my gaming. The keypad has 20 keys on it all available for keybonds plus targeting/jumping/moving. The mouse i use for moving mostly though with turning looking hot buttons for direction etc. what i do not use. Is the F-ing cursor. And that bad boy get lost on a giant monitor in a huge team battle. so when i go to fire iff a location AoE i hit the keybound button...and start the cursor hunt. Even jf i just used it it is gone again. Unless i am doing chain loc AoE then its fine. But fire off a coupke ST and want another loc AoE. Hunt is on again so. Is there a way to either center/dedault location the cursor. And/or default lication the AoE to straight ahead if me max distance at my altitude/on the floor? thanks for any input

Really enjoying this build. At 35 now. Chasing ranged defense and learning my attack chains i have done both Posi 1and 2, Synapse and the first TV respec. Some mission teams as well running doors my only real issue right now is finding a smooth way to target my nuke and ice storm. The mouse is really hard to target with. Because you have to find the curser and then get it lined up where you need it to be. With all the crap that goes on in a big team just finding the cursor is an issue that has a real effect on dps

Well you still lose the resources you boosted it with. I would say simpler is better. Just unboost, are you sure, and done

Soooo. You live in 1970? You should hop in Ouro. We got 50 years of advances done. First. I get paid by the hour. I drive local in the greater Portland Vancouver area. All trucks are now required to have electronic logs. Paper logs are about 99% phased out. There us so much drug screening in the trucking community that you obviously would not believe it. I am not even going to try to convince you. You have all the sources you cited. I am just a Snarky voice on the web. But to be clear about my situation. I get paid by the hour not the mile. I still do not want to do 45 on a freeway with no traffic. That creates hazards to those who are following me due to passing and causing frustration among those behind me. I am not a great driver. I am a good driver trying to make money i just really hate slow people who have no idea how to use a freeway. They are constipaters

I mostly play below 50. My one maxed out i/o’d 50 is a ss/invul build by Hyperstrike. It uses no boosted enhancers. A LOT of expensive attuned enhancers. Many running 10-20 mil apiece. It does not need boosted. The build is sick maybe they could put in a switch to completey unboost an enhancer? Would that solve the issue?

I thought this topic was about passing people... you are trying to get other human being to listen to you and follow instructions? Wow on the bright side if you find out how to do it you can market it to the US Army. They have people that volunteer They pay them. They put them in a focused environment ( boot camp) and they still have a horrid time getting oeople to pay attention and follow instructions i think we need to talk with Crey Industries about a possible solution. Now dont get riled up i am not talking about invasive surgical procedures. I am sure there is a safe non toxic environmental friendly chemical agent that will do the trick. Anyone have the Countess on speed dial?

It is even more dangerous than people might imagine. The semi is articulated. It bends. If you rapidly decelerate the semi the Trailer WILL jack knife. Very few things can kill a driver crashing a semi slowly on freeway traffic. Jack knife the rig? You are screwed. So truckers are trained to maintain awareness and not lock up or decelerate swerve or act crazy. So yes the car in front becomes a crumple zone. If it is a kid on a bicycle the i would probably sacrifice the semi and sigh my safety. If it is some random crazy driver? I will stop as fast as i can without jackknifing (not that fast)

I use Handclap now on certain builds. It makes the SS tank set very tanky before footstomp. Get all armors taunt and handclap with a KD proc. You are now a Tank Bot

While breaking from endless story arcs on a Tank i have decided to 50 a squishy. Ice is a powerset i like. Not love but like. However it fits my needs and the story i have come ip with making it perfect unnecessary backstory: (i am from Everlasting) so the character was a research assistant at a big science company. He got drunk at the corporate Christmas party and kept bothering the CEO and chief scientist about the party needing more ice. The CEO is actually a Timelord and decided to do something. He took the research assistants brain out of his body and out it on top of a robot with power to ... create ice. When the assistant started bitching as soon as the process was done the CEO turned him into a Hero (complete with desires to be a hero and more force/time powers). so. Ice/Time with Force of Will and probably Ice power pools. This is a pure concept fun character. I bought him the skiff as a travel power because i did not want jetpacks messing with the robot costume i built. i will be slamming in i/o’s and going for a build goal of softcap ranged defense. I am down to a handful of Characters i run so i have A lot of enhancers in my base and can buy a few more nice sets my only questions are what sets should i be looking at regarding ranged defense I know how to research it for issue 22 Cox but not as fluent in modern building. I am taking no melee attack even for muling. This is a 100% ranged build also are there any Intricacies or oddities about time secondary or force of will? Someone said in game the 1st debuff power off force of will was bugged thanks

Yep. Again i am not great at this stuff. First badger. So i went to the community boards. Badges section. There is a post called winter badges there from like nov30 by Voltor. He said the badge exists. No one later in the thread corrected him that i saw anyways. Sooooo. I am going with It is not a thing. But it is another of my lifes minor irritations and why i normally just ignore content and Brute

As long as we are looking for deeper meanin... when someone is going 48 on a smooth clear freeway so i get my semi over to pass them. Why why why do they soeed up to 60 almost always. No really. Why ?

So...ain’t no badge then huh?

I am not a psychologist. But i have learned to read minds. I drive a full sized semi truck in a busy city 59 hours a week during daytime what you are seeing is tunnel vision. People are not trying to be rude or stupid. They are (generally) not rude or stupid. They just are laser focused on what they are doing. Could be coffee. Could be attack chain. Could be talking to someone in room. Could be looking at map to figure where team is going. Could be looking at paragon wiki to see how much longer the task force is running. But they did not register the importance of your message this is the challenge in living with people. They seem to be ‘acting crazy’ when really they are just doing what they believe is the most important thing i will close with this. Get the hell away from my semi. And yeah i do need that much room to make a turn

I have received a few gifts from contests and showing uo where a SG was being Santa i sent 1 mill to someone who just found the game again. I try to do that just to say hi if i see the posts. It is what i email each of my starting alts and we all know that first chunk of change is important Beyond that i am enjoying the company of our community of geeks this winter. Thank you all for being the network of superheroes and supervillians rogues and vigilantes. No i am not going to name each Goldside. You k ow what. Thanks for being there.

Thanks MVT. I am trying for all badges at the same time trying not to be nuerotic. It is like squaring a circle lol

Okay. But does this badge actually exist. And if so how do you get it? Because i am ready to light a candle and kiss it off. I have no ide if it exists. I have done the action to get it if it did exist. And i know nothing

Yeah in the Badger thread they aaid this was a specific badge. Not heard definitivelt if that poster was mistaken.

My Invul/Dark Tank is finishing 20-24 content and leveling to 29 today. Just like Christmas! 200IQ randomly offered to take 7 of us through all bank missions so i have Invader Accolade. Of course the build is heavily I/O”d already. I might do my first respec at 29 to smooth out the early placements a bit and drop the tier 2 melee 764 Reward Merits. These are being saved. 49 souvenirs 297 Badges I have decided to not do First Ward content except later at 50 for badges. This is a Redside Project. I do not enjoy the writing Goldside or in that vein so I will not add it in here Any content that is 20-29 is pushed off until 29. This is in keeping with my policy of doing everything with as much powers and I/Os as I can i really kind of liked the issue 17-19 added contacts in Sharkhead. Although you have to hunt them a little. First ward shows right up in contact finder. You git to hunt down and talk to D-Mac, Leonard, and Vincent Ross In general Redside has been a fun run so far. A little grindy but really doing the day to day villain stuff or robbery and betrayal and watching your contacts like Crash Cage and Vince Dubrowski make their own lives horrid as they pay you to do crimes. Operative Vargas. Special place in hell for that guy. Not because he is evil and smarmy and corporate speak. but the sheer number of missions and kill alls. Worked me like a mule. Although he is also really smarmy. And reading between the lines it seems he is a screw up and Arachnos knows it. My 2 cents so .... 29 here I come!!!

I used to run SS/Invul Brutes back on live. For a year just on SOs when i first started. Great strong characters. Obviously vulnerable to Psi. And REALLY vulnerable to hard hitting end drains. There is no end recovery powers. It is eat blues if you have them soooo. Learn to spot Sappers like a gang member spots the po po. I am nit talking about macros or anything fancy. Use your head. Its malta. Each group prob has one sapper some have 2. A few tough rooms have 3. Ignore IGNORE everything else. Let time slip away. Hit that blue rifled freak with everything you got. Like he killed your entire family and is about to eat your last relative alive. Keeeeeeel him fast then Malta goes back to being a normal group. Tough. High level mobs Freakshow and Carnies. Oof. Dont get me started. Similar tactics except try to get away from them as they die. They got bad cooties
