Just looking out for everyone

I will get the mecha armor set and be ready to run the new trial to unlock Hybrid.

So wait, if the launcher is left open it will download the patch automatically while I'm at work?!?

BTW, trying to get Zwill on UStream to say what's happening with Retro Sci-Fi and the patch notes on the test server, but no dice yet...

The patch on the test server includes Retro Sci-Fi... will it be released tomorrow with I23? Does anyone happen to know?

Just curious...

EDIT: I23 being released tomorrow is awesome btw!

OMG I23 tomorrow!!!

Since we jump from I23 and the Paragon Market on this thread, I figured I'd post that I23 is on the Training Room in, what I assume is, preparation for next weeks release.

The patch notes are too long to quote, so here's the link: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...18#post4252318

EDIT: Odd... Retro Sci-Fi is on that patch. I thought it was coming after I23.

I was wrong...

After playing LOTS of tip missions I have come to realize this is worth it and I purchased it.

It's like the tips missions know where you are and spawn the mission entrance 2 miles away from your current position.

Congrats to all the winners and for the news!

Fine, fine... I gave in.

I watched the Stargate movie again and I'm starting to re-watch the show from the beginning.

This should take a while...

Just got an e-mail announcing that Celestial will be available until June 5th... so... I23 on June 5th?

Welcome back!

And yes, The Melting Pot is pretty awesome...

SyFy just (well, like yesterday or the day before) cancelled Sanctuary.

It was Amanda Tapping's project (Samantha Carter from the Stargate franchise), and she was also the main character, Helen Magnus.

Thanks for the updates as usual Chad.

Nothing for me this week, I got lots of boosters and unslotters from Super Packs still left over.

Kinda surprised the Lion pet is on sale already when its release was not too long ago...

I have virtually no endurance issues whatsoever with my PB, but while we have similar goals, we built our PBs differently (Thunder Light - HERE).

One of the easiest changes you can make is to add a second slot to Stamina and add a Performance Shifter: Endurance Modification or any other endurance modification enhancement there. It will not be a game changer, but it can help a little.

I personally slotted Cardiac Core Paragon on my PB, and that's probably why I have no endurance issues. Thing is, this would probably affect the damage output of your PB in a larger scale.

I'm in the process of crafting Agility Core Paragon to try that out.

You could try compromising by switching to Musculature Radial Paragon, it will reduce your damage bonus from 45% to 33%, but it will boost your Endurance Modification to 33% (so it will help Stamina). Don't know how significant this could be.

I am by no means an expert, I just came back to the game a few months ago and fell in love with my PB all over again, I got a lot of help on the thread I posted my build and I'm happy with it. I just say this in case my advice turns out to be irrelevant

I'm currently at work, but those are the few, basic things I could see.

Hope this helps...

Any chance they would release I23 and replace Celestial with Mecha after?

In other words, they could still release I23 without having to necessarily hint us at when with the armor switch date.

This may sound odd, and may not apply since I play on a laptop, however...

As I said above, I play on a laptop plugged in through HDMI to my TV. I noticed, just after I purchased it and started to play again, that after playing for a while it would just shut down.

My first conclusion was, as everyone mentioned, that it was overheating. I then pushed the power button and it said it was coming back from Hibernation.

It made no sense since I was mid-game, but maybe the laptop wasn't recognizing the game as activity? I couldn't really tell you.

I disabled hibernation and also play with the laptop open, instead of closing the screen shut, and it has not happened again.

If your computer is a desktop the screen recommendation does not apply, but maybe try disabling Hibernation.

Either it'll work, or it won't... it's worth a shot.

Small (Medium?) Res/Def dual inspiration if I recall correctly...

Currently you can help your count of Fake Nemesis with the Nemesis event.

For exploration and history badges I'd recommend getting the vidiotmaps map patch, it helped me immensely when hunting for accolades a couple of weeks ago.

I know this is not necessarily a guide for doing it all quickly, but to be honest I don't think there's just one quick way or it'd be all over.

A lot of the tips being posted here will make it much easier though...
