2 things you might try:


-Change your angle to look underneath the room and try to grab it from the bottom. Then slide it out of the wall while holding the mouse button


-or-


- go to the current room tab and select it there. Then either delete it(if it is empty) or try to grab it(while it is highlighted) and slide it out while holding the mouse button.


Both of these have worked for me in the past on different things. Good luck


Edit: When you slide things out of the wall sometimes you have to slide them into a different room to get them to move. The room will ofcourse need to be able to have a storage item in it.

End redux in the upgrades

End redux in the summons

+recovery from the set bonuses

a blue inspiration or two after your initial summoning or pet wipe.



Right there are 4 things that make your end problems much more manageable.

You only have to do a "full" summon once, unless you die, and that I would think would usually be sometime before you are in mission and the team is waiting on you.

Summoning 1 or even 2 tiers of pets with both upgrades ,to "refill" your horde, should not be killing your whole end bar. If it is you have slotting problems.

I've run my rad/rad on many many ITF's and LGTF's and other than being just a little short on damage output ( I slotted heavily for debuff in both primary and secondary) I still have lot's of fun with him. I play short range with choking cloud and my offensive PBAOE(the name escapes me right now). Usually right near the brute. Maybe my teamates are just being nice to the slow kid but I have never gotten any complaints.

The main problem I have is having my anchors live long enough on teams to feel like I'm doing any good. It's not a bad problem to have

There was an announcement the other day about them testing a new server tech on the EU training room. Hmmmmm....

My 1.5 cents:

Many have suggested that tv ads are too expensive. What if you used a barter type system to offset the costs? CoX gets an add on (insert regional market cable channel here) and said cable channel gets an add for one of their shows on our in-game billboards (fine tune the graphics and make them always on).

Start with smaller market channels and work up to networks(we could only hope!). There would still probably be some cost(due to market size differences) but it would seem to me that this would go a long way towards making it more cost effective.

This would kill (or at least wound) two birds with one black pebble,...er stone. The CoX brand would get out to the public and you could expand the pool of in-game adverts to make them less repetitive to the players.




Oh, and put me 500th in line saying to hire Samuraiko to do your promo videos! Every video I have seen of hers has blown the official ones away (the I17 trailer almost brought a tear to my eye)





Just a thought.

hmmmm..... my BS/SD goes from 36/48/46 positional to 36/45/45 (plus or minus a few tenths here and there)...........eh,could be worse.

I don't know about with a DP but I like choking cloud on my rad/rad. I play him pretty close in anyway and the +2 hold lockdown proc has hit often enough to make it useful in crowds with multiple bosses.

That is all you have after 6 years!!!

(Concentrating on 1 or a few characters is cool, it just always surprises me from 4, 5, or 6 year vets)

I had almost that many on my first day. There are so many possibilities even if you don't role play. Unfortunately boredom hits most all of us at one time or another. There are a number of things you can try:

1) create unfamiliar AT / power combos (your apparent choice)
2) Spread out to a different server. New people to play with often reduce the "staleness" of old previously tried combos.
3) Run through contacts in zones you don't usually do. I find myself getting in ruts as far as which zones I level/play in. I have to force myself to go to galaxy/striga/founders/ or whatever zone I haven't played in a while. The little things you find in out of the way places go a long way for keeping the game interesting for me.
4) <last resort> take a break. A week, A month, 6 months, or whatever you need. I find after taking various voluntary and enforced breaks the character ideas start flowing back in like sweet wine.


Since none of that really answered your question, here is my opinion. Blaster, energy, fire, or electric (anything but the weapons sets). Lots of damage(and kb with the energy) and lacking just enough survivablity to make it stickys sometime on whether your about to fill a hospital bed or not.

That is just my 2 cents with out knowing anything of your playstyle. What you find fun and exciting maybe completely different from mine.

My 2 cents:

I have an Ice/Storm controller in the low 40's with fly and he feels windy even without tornado and Hurricane(playstyle choices). Artic Air has a constant wind noise to it and gale/shiver are wind powers if there ever were any.

He's a fun character now but he was very painfully slow going for the first 32 lvls mostly solo. If you team alot or don't care about pace after 32 is cake.
A bit of an end hog too, but you can slot accordingly for that.

Uberguy, while what you are saying makes sense and is true, would these techniques not drive the average price up over time?

By having a controlling percentage of the available stock "price set" by one person after a time about the only low end sales you would see would be from someone just dumping something to get rid of it.

I would think the average person sees the hi's and low's and splits the difference when setting their prices(speculation on my part). This would run the flipper either out of a job or into extravagent wealth, depending on the amount of free money in the market and the perceived value of the item.

Obviously this is the challenge for the flipper. Only working something JUST long enough and moving on. The overall inflation that would cause seems like a negative to me for the whole picture.



......of course just looking at Smurphys examples again shows my thinking is off on how the average person sets thier price(unless those are all his sales)



EDIT: I understand mostly now after reading the last post. After I grease the math wheels in my head a little more I'm sure I'll understand all of it. Thanks for the explanation guys.
