  1. They're pretty much the same client nowadays. It'll work on Mac at the same time as it does for Windows.
  2. Yes. Use both, if you can.

    If you are limited to three slots, use 2 Level 50 EndMod IOs, and the Proc.
  3. Many Tanks got to level 50 on +0, I'm sure that many soloed it. Especially those Tanks that were created before you could change the difficulty of your missions.

    Is it particularly fast? Not really. Is it slow? Again, not really. I'd probably guess in the 2-300 hour range for getting to 50 doing it nowadays.

    Still, I would probably try to set yourself to at least more teammates while solo, and try to leverage your AoEs to take down more enemies faster.
  4. The Devs will get to it once they can get to it. Pool, and Patron/Ancillary Pool powers, are on the list to be customized, but they are a little bit more tricky to allow, since they aren't chosen at character creation.
  5. You only apply the HIGHEST defense value to any given attack. Meaning:

    If you're attacked by a Ranged/Fire typed attack, and you have 35% Ranged Defense, and 20% Fire Defense, you will only use the Ranged Defense value against that attack.

    Carp Melee

    I'm always a fan of Carp Melee, being the original creator of it, and all. /signed for silliness.

    Also, Capn, just so you're aware, BABs comment was definitely in jest, aimed at people like me, to avoid us always asking for Carp Melee, which comes up a decent amount around the boards. It always makes me smile when I see a reference to it pop up, especially from a red name.

    Hey Devs!

    Maybe you should actually TRY playing a Trick Arrow Defender before you make blanket insults against people who actually have significant experience with the set? Or at the very least explain why you know better than people who have experience playing the set.


    I tend towards "meh" where proliferating Poison to other ATs is concerned. I have no objection to it but I don't see a whole lot of point. It doesn't really offer anything to them that other sets don't do better. With the exception of soloing a GM or AV I would much rather have Rad than Poison.
    I wouldn't mind Fire_Minded, Adeon. He seems to enjoy picking on the weak sets by playing them briefly (less than 20 levels), and then deeming them "fine." I've seen him do similar things with Fire Armor, Energy Armor, and several other Tank/Brute sets. When people try to tell him that yes, they are fine, but other sets are far better, he gets angry and starts throwing out insults.

    LOL...and that.
  9. Power, this is actually a decent idea. One that I like.

    However, can you please, please, PLEASE sometime, just once, post after actually making your post into English? Even though I like this idea, I find it hard to agree with somebody that treats their readers with as much apparent disdain as you do.
  10. Also, you could try an Archery/Trick Arrow Corruptor, which might help the damage feel a bit.

    I'm sorry, but a bad idea is a bad idea. A not-even-barely-thought-out bad idea is even worse. This is a game forum, not a place to just through out any idea that comes through your head. If it's a bad idea, people have the right to say so. If it's a good idea, it'll likely get a good reception.

    Since we all play this game, we all have the right to say what would make us enjoy it more, but also if an idea would make us enjoy it less, or we think would be bad for the game. If you don't like that, then you don't need to come in here, either.

    Yes, we don't have to use every feature that comes out, especially if we don't like it, we do get to say that we wouldn't like it here, especially since the Devs can't create all ideas at the same time. They have limited amounts of time on their hands, and if we'd rather have them working on something that we'd like more, then we should say so, to let them know that the players aren't looking for this particular idea as much as another.
  12. 4 Words:

    Carp Armor/Carp Melee.
  13. IIRC, it's half of the full value when supressed.
  14. I like to go with level 35 IOs, really. That way, you can exemplar down pretty far, and still have set bonuses active.

    New EU Player

    Since you are only getting the trial now, might I make a quick suggestion?

    If you like the game, get the US version if you can. I hear a lot of complaints from EU players about their servers being lower population, and you might be better off getting a US account than an EU account for that.
  16. The point of being able to drop missions was originally to be able to get rid of missions that were either broken, or that you just couldn't get past because it was too hard. Since timed missions do run out of time, there was no reason to allow them to be dropped: they would fail and you could move on.

    You can always wait out the timer, even if it's a long one, by doing other missions.
  17. Yes, they will be able to join either the Resistance or Loyalist factions, from what we know.
  18. Did you check down in the Brute forums?

    I think the distance should be set to how much Endurance you have, so for example it takes 10 End to go 100yds (these are figures I'm pulling out my a*s, not sure what the actual cost is), you can travel the whole map (clicking the loc on map menu) and if you have enough End, say 1 mile = 1000 End, it drains that amount. Save having to spam accross the sky and inevitably hit a wall and fall 50 stories!
    Except that a decent amount of utility is added in being able to shorten the distance you travel, as well as being able to regain endurance on your trip. Your way could have a person radically over-shooting their mark, and without any endurance left to turn around right away.

Sure you could appreciate the work you did but it won't be nearly as entertaining to you as someone else's book, actually I think the analogy I used there was a movie but same concept. Where's the fun in having an arch nemesis if you know exactly where he's going to be, what he's giong to do and what he's going to say?

    Except, in the OP itself, he takes any randomness out of it. You know exactly what is is you're going to fight. It's exactly like you. So I'm not seeing the problem there with using the AE.
  23. Power, the Devs did let you do it. If you want something like this, make it in the MA system. It allows you to do exactly this if you want to.

    Also, please try to think through your ideas before posting them. Don't just throw out anything that comes to mind, but actually try to put some thought into the ideas. While you can certainly post whatever you want, putting something into the idea makes it seem like you care about it, instead of it just being a flight of fancy, that nobody should really care about.

    Axe KD question.

    Yes, it will, but it's actually raising it past 0.75 mag that is the trick. So I wouldn't slot it for any KB at all, since it's at 0.67 now.
  25. Is it?

    Edit -> Yes, yes it is.
