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

Anyone a Psychologist who can help explain this to me?
Snarky replied to Solarverse's topic in General Discussion
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

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

Okay. So not all Supervillain plans go completely smooth. Thats why we have Ouroboros -

redside villian thinks to himself. Crazy country shoots missile at 1st world country. 1st world country pastes the nation in retaliatory strike. Neighboring country is left in ruins. Hmmm. What do they have that i can buy for nothing? -
So i have one badger. Sort of. Just started. i am having trouble with Gift Giver badge. I have given about 50 of the duplicating gifts out. I have badges Gifted, Gift Getter, and Gift which Keeps on Giving. I do not have Gift Giver What am i doing wrong? How do i get it. Or if i have it is it not listed under event badges but hiding in another list? thanks

I think SS/Invul Brute is the sweet spot berween heavy survivability and good damage i am currently soloing all Redside (and first ward and any contacts open) with a Invul/Dark Tank. I weep a little when a kill all pops up. There is no need for stealth. You can just march through the mobs to the end room and kill the boss. Set at +0/x1 no AV yes to EB. Pretty close to the original default game setings i belueve

This is becoming my posi report card thread lol. Quit another posi1. Almost same situation except the guy never mentioned it was a intentional +2 for exp in the ad and didnt even want ti talk about it. So i quit then i ran a Posi 1 on my tank. Really good team. Except maybe 1 or 2 new people. Maybe just 1. I was on invul with taunt. Some i/o. As many as you can cram on. He was exemplared from 25. So he was solid. It was a rough run. 1:07. Multiple team wipes. Every newb mistake made none missed. Including rushing in to fight doppelgangers without waiting for team to assemble And buff first No. It wasnt me making ALL of the errors. Just my usual ones. but we got through that one. Team was even in a pretty good mood. Laugh off the pasting. I love our server except the +X low TF farmers. That crap is like sand in my shorts

Last night i was lining up on an end mission mob CoT Posi The group down below the cave in the water. Stealthed. Prob 40-60 range. Picking out my ruin mage lining up my snipe. Waiting for the team. Hoverblasting. Yeah. Good times dead. Wait. What? They saw right through my stealth and pasted me fast

Its just me. I run mult comps so it looks more poulated than it is. The hard part is the Rap bit i’m vetting a rythym

Really enjoying my Invul/Dark Zombie tank soloing every arc and mission Redside at +0/x1. Who has that statement “if you want to feel like a God rill anything, if you want to be a God roll a Tank”. i ‘stealth’ missions by wandering through ignoring getting pummeled. Unless there is a Fortunata or something. Then i pause to kill everyone. Mostly i am like the colonel in apocalypse now standing in the cowboy hat ignoring all the shells hitting. Just looking around deciding what to do it would be nice to get a Damage buff and the better AoE would really help Dark Melee. i think Tankers deserve a little love. I am mostly a Brute player with a Tank mentality. I went ti. Rutes because i started Redside. The Brute nerf was deserved and Brutes Scrappers are balanced now. Even though i miss Fury cap. But Tanks are still a little behind the curve. But so are Blasters and the are in the edges most damage and toughest. Si weird things tend to happen there. Like stone armor. The very edge. Very freaking weird. Impkssible to stop. What, a curb? Here, really?
