Zombie Man

And that's why we never got female MM pets. Thanks a lot.

Maybe it's another dimensional Doppelganger of BAB known as the Cul de Sacker.

It's only a win if your application can take advantage of two GPUs in tandem.

Yes. Yes I can.

That reminds me, I need to respec my MM. I put an extra slot of EndRedux in each upgrade which I can now put elsewhere.

Softcap still works... mostly. But there's a reason why this cap was called 'soft' and not 'hard.'

Foes with extra base ToHit, like most of the Incarnate-level Praetorians means the softcap has moved up a bit.

Plus, the extra Accuracy from +4 foes and certain powers raises the minimum final-ToHit value from 5% to 10% or higher.

The soft cap always assumed an even playing field, which is fine versus most minions. But the Incarnate field is stacked against you... which is not unfair considering all the stacked advantages players bring to the encounter.


It's Prometheus. Talk to him in Ouroboros. He sent you on these Trials and now he's narrating them for you.

Well none of the trails leave a permanent trail, they all fade out. But as the frost is trailing behind, it continues to expand. Really neat effect.

Did you see it live or just in the linked video? It's a whole different creature when it trails behind you.

I don't know if they're depressed about it. They get a thrill when players 'solve' it. Don't know if the thrill lasts when they're solving it in 10 minutes.

Wonder how Mr. Rubik feels?


But the Devs do count on players solving what seems like on paper extraordinarily difficult tasks and then making them seem trivial. This means when players in Beta or Live start screaming "too hard!", they pretty much ignore it until there's been multiple attempts over a period of time.

I think the +5 foes in the LRSF was the only one they purposely dialed down on given the power level of the folks at the time.

Incarnate toons can now crush a +5 LRSF if it existed.

I think so, but maybe I'm just like my father: too bold. Maybe you're just like my mother: she's never satisfied.

So, here's my experience:

The KIR can be accomplished with whole teams wiping out, a constant train of dead people running back from the hospital, and Anti-Matter healing back up to full five times before being brought down.

This is *NOT* a one-person's-mistake-ruins-it-for-all mechanic.

Granted, while folks are new to this new iTrial, they won't be very efficient and things will be touch and go making it seem like one person's inattention ruined everything. But once the standard procedures become well know, this iTrial will be sped run just like all the others before it.

For the third Empyrean Merit per day per character so you can unlock Swoon.

That is all.

I said specifically that you weren't ranting about the Trial being too hard. But it *is* a rant about a specific mechanic being too hard... 'for others.'

It is what it is. Preemptively saying it can't be criticized for X because it's not X, when, in fact, it is X is not a valid inoculation from criticism.

Oh, yea, that's right. Almost forgot to add in the needless personalization. Let's see, how did you do it? OK, here it is:

I should have expected from you Nihilii that you'd be overly defensive.

There, did I do it right?

No. In pre-Beta we were successfully completing the KIR even before we had access to Incarnate powers past Alpha.

Granted, Rebirth is the best Incarnate tool in the box, but it's not required.
