  1. Also I've been telling Ele for weeks now that it seems like the way the Devs are going to go about killing AE farming is just to make it way more profitable to farm real content again.

    I sure as hell know that's what I'm gonna do. Bridges or no bridges, I <3 my demons.

I didn't realize they considered it an issue to fix and just touted it as the balancing act while exemp'd. Hell yeah give me all my powers for Positron TF.
    I've long since learned my lesson about disagreeing with Voodoo, but I took this a different way. Hell yeah I'd be all for keeping all my powers while EXd, but from the way I read the post, it seemed like they were only interested in you not losing the last one or two powers or so.
    Say, you're on a team of 29-32 players. A level 31 is the leader and holds the mission, so now those level 32 players lose their Granite Armors, Golden Dragonflys, and Fulcrum Shifts. That seemed like what they were trying to fix, just the small-range of teams. On second thought, maybe the mission holder could raise their effective difficulty to a virtual 32 or 33; then would the 32s get their powers back?

  3. First of all, thank you for this guide. I remember porting sets over a while back before the program became this complicated, and have been looking for a way to do it again.
    I've followed this guide to port Electric Melee to tanks, and it works like a charm, but for some reason my Luck of the Gambler +7.5 Rech IOs now are giving 7 Knockback protection instead of recharge. I never went into any editor other than the Main Database Editor during porting. Though I've since opened other editors to see if I can fix it myself, I'm totally lost as to what I'm supposed to do to fix it.

    I AM SO HARDCORE

    No really, yesterday was Ele's birthday and the family had a celebration, lots of relatives came over, no real time for killing stuff. I kicked his *** in badminten though.
  6. He's been here for a while, but he's one of those guys that posts in a lot of other forums and only seems to READ his home server's forum.

    New forums!

    My computer started locking up this morning. It happens about a minute after I load coh. Screen gets fuzzy like TV station with nothing on it, and everything stops. I've never had crashes like this before, and it HAD to start happening on double XP weekend. I cannot express how I am.

    PS Good to have forums back
  8. I do not understand a lot about the move. Will we lose our epic threads like "In the beginning..." in the defender forums?

    ...because the only way to beat MA farms is to make real farms better than them?

    Dominators can pulverize their enemies with Earth Assault. Masterminds heat things up with Thermal Radiation

    On second thought, this interests me. Earth assault for doms? It'd have to be a hodge-podge of existing powers in order to count as proliferation and not a whole new set, but are there any earthy powers outside of stone melee and earth control? I mean, maybe Hurl Boulder, but I can't think of anything this could contain other than a port of stone melee in some shape or form. I'm really curious about how this could turn out.

    Therm for MMs makes me

    I'm really curious about this revamped custom difficulty bit. It's going to help the farmers out a ton, I think.

    Also, I was actually thinking they were gonna give Thermal to defenders. Sigh.
  12. I seem to remember Ele saying things like that about you.

    Maybe you weren't around when those things were said &gt;.&gt;

    You've always been there help us level up, you've been quick to help others earn difficult badges, and face the most difficult challenges with no reward other than those blasted Centrioles.

    Your presence, like your kindness and your unique spunk, will be missed dearly. Keep in touch, buddy.

    Capitalism, punctuation, and spelling? Do you realize this is a game, not business/work? Really if people make a couple typo's and or spelling errors, big deal!

    As per my own policy, I never attend events that have been announced with no regard to the slightest hint at grammatical correctness. It gives me vibes that say either the poster is not intelligent enough to make a coherent idea known, or they are simply too young to know the difference. Either way, I don't deal with lesser minds. Sorry.

    Btw apostrophes NEVER signify plurality, only contractions and possession. This is probably my biggest pet peeve.

    some Raid leaders like to make this step a little faster by splitting the group in two

    It's nice to be mentioned!
    Nice guide overall, The only advice I can think to offer on it has already been hit by Valdy. I might mention loading up on Break Frees in the Vanguard base if you're not a mez-proof fellow, also delaying TPs back to the ship until you can refill your insps.
    I always thought the GM spawned after a pre-determined number of Rikti had been killed. I suppose it doesn't really matter, if you have gathered enough people to take out all the pylons in time, you probably will be able to accomplish either task unless you have major organization issues.
    Two thumbs up from a retired Raid leader/organizer
    Here is the order we use for two pylon killing groups.
  18. Am I the only one who does NOT want to see power customization EVER hit this game? The furry one was totally right about our characters becoming nothing but glowie balls of light when fully buffed; to think that not only would our characters be turned into light-balls of every color, but a fully debuffed enemy (I'm thinking Radiation toggles as well as Darkest night, for example) could easily blur baddies into blobs of -NEW AND IMPROVED, ALL COLORS OF THE SPECTRUM!-

    I like knowing that I can look at a boss and if I see Green or Black on him (Radiation or Dark Miasma), it's probably safe to go smack on him, but if it's a light-grey Snowstorm, be careful because he can still smack the [censored] out of me. The set colors and looks of the powers in this game help me to know what's going on around me in game.
