  1. On the plus side, I haven't been randomly logged out for a while. It's just whenever I leave the page that I get logged out, not while I am composing a post.

    So, we're all agreed, even the OP, that we haven't seen any of what the OP is railing against.

    Good, good.

    So, I guess this thread did it's job and improved player attitudes.

    I just read that one on the forums. When I log in I'll tell everyone that I read about it here.
  7. When I do quit bad PUGs I prefer to say something. It's usually something neutral like, "I'm going to go do something else."

    My theory is that I try to adjust to w/e my PUG is doing.

    I know that there're a number of theories and ways to play when it comes to roles and strategies. I am familiar with some of them. But not everyone on a PUG is familiar with the same one that I am.
    And, you never know how someone sees there role until they start to play. Even then they might change their mind midway.

    Suddenly, I can have a LOT of spare slots. (Starts re-looking toons.)
    That's all IF I got the math correct.

    post ED I find the 72s become 71.8
    and the 98s become 93.6
    and the 92s become 89.4

    And there's rounding error as I rounded as I went.
    but those numbers are approximately right I think.

    There're prob'ly some set bonuses that you could work into that scenario too depending on the power.

    I don't think you can max all four stats, but you could prob'ly get something decent

    these maths may be wrong, but...

    I show a (lvl 50 + lvl 25 quad), both +5, yielding ~40.7 per attribute
    Then 2 +5 triples @ ~26.5 per attribute
    4 slots
    Pre-ED
    acc 40 + 00 + 26 = 66
    dam 40 + 26 + 26 = 92
    end 40 + 26 + 00 = 66
    rech 40 + 26 + 26 = 92


    I show a 2x lvl 50 yielding ~46 per attribute
    Then 2 +5 triples @ ~26.5 per attribute
    4 slots
    Pre-ED
    acc 46 + 00 + 26 = 72
    dam 46 + 26 + 26 = 98
    end 46 + 26 + 00 = 72
    rech 46 + 26 + 26 = 98

    Some

    It really depends on your goals and play style. Toons that aren't built to mal down have more options. Toons that mal down end up getting far more out of bonuses than it is possible to get from enhancements after about level 17-19 and on down. From 32 to 21ish It's possible to really overstack the enhancement values.

    It could be used to free up slots for powers that take sets that give better bonuses.
    The lower level quads can be brought up to a more useful level

  13. Considering dropping hasten down to 2 slots on toons that aren't meant to mal down.

    also considering putting them in my lvl 25 LotGs

    Any frankenslotting that involves quads

    the lvl 27 IOs I have in my sets for the toons who're built to mal down

    I am not sure exactly yet. Still examining the spreadsheets until it's easier in Mids' to use the boosters.

    in the meantime,
    Thanks Mids' Team! You guys rock.
  14. I don't know what to think about the posts where someone complains about not getting enough with their free account, and there reaction is to say something about how business is being lost because they won't play their free account.
    :confused

    They absolutely can use them. Just pay the subscription fee.

    HO's

    I'll be using them in my alt accounts' toons

    I am realizing that.
    The wall that I run into involves which enhancement values get affected by the exemplaring. Some of the IOs I am currently using are up against the limit of what gets affected and what does not. Increasing those would actually be a detriment when malling down. But others...

    When your travel power already has another one hit wonder enhancement in it and you don't want to use another slot.

    Not an option iirc.

    Sure, for some builds.

    The IO and SS should be enough for most everything.

    Tyvm.
    I read teh wiki, but I didn't see any mention of it's effects on the set bonus.

    Holy Smackerel!!
    Ayayay!
    Sacre Bleu!
    Mein Gott!
  22. How do the enhancement boosters affect the way that set bonuses stay with a toon when it mals down?

    Can I take a set @ level 27, jack it up +5 w/ boosters and still get my set bonuses @ lvl 24?

    Or....what?
  23. Maybe they're both hamming it up for the publicity
