  2. And Dr. Aeon snuck on the Dev-Only Server and starting throwing meteors at Zwill.

    That was fun.
  3. Tunnel Rat stopped by.

    That is all.
  4. Oh, no, it did happen. I tested it myself and it's enshrined in the Wiki: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Converter

    At one time, SBEs were incontrovertibly convertible.

    The first I heard of a lock on conversion for any Enhancement Set was the Overwhelming Force Set.
  5. I wouldn't mind if it's a separate Work Bench power. This way, those who get the badge have both powers and, thus, have more access to the power. This way, there is still an intrinsic worth for getting the power through the Accolade.

    Wait, what?

    I am currently paying Golden Girl to powerlevel my forum post count.
  7. Turn off Geometry Buffers.

    If that doesn't fix it, find a temperature gauge utility to find out if it's overheating.
  8. Anyone who gets it from the Market has to pay *me*! Otherwise....

    Since that change was not in a Patch Note, we should assume it's a Bug. Are some of the older SBEs that originally could be converted able to be dropped into the Converter window?

    Defender damage isn't balanced to match Brute Damage.

    The Defender damage buff in Vigilance was added to balance Defenders v. Corruptors during the time that everyone was saying that Defenders are dead now that we can roll Corruptors blueside -- why ever roll a Defender!!!?

    As I said above, Scourge is a trivial damage buff at low levels because low level foes spend very little time with low health. And so Defender's damage buff is also low.

    The other reason maybe not to give Defenders a flat 30% buff from level 1 is to give the Defender the psychological boost that they are growing in power as they level up. By they time they hit 20, their force multipliers have kicked in to provide further boosts.

    OTOH, I wouldn't have any problem with Defenders getting a flat 30% from level 1 onward: Their attack powers are gated behind higher levels than Corrupters and their primary does little to no damage.

They have almost entirely disappeared over the last twenty years, made obsolete by mobile phones.

    NB. The above does not apply to the tourist-popular parts of London. They're probably full of police boxes and red telephone boxes
    Actually, I wish that telephone booths of whatever design or vintage would make a return so that one can make a cell phone call in relative quiet (and consequently, shunt off loud cell phone talkers to their own private hell).
  14. When adding the Damage bonus to Vigilance, the scaling up from 1 to 20 was purposefully intended since low level foes are not big bags of HP nor do they have much in the way of Resistances to damage. Giving level 1 Defenders a 30% Damage boost was not necessary for their survival nor was it necessary to bridge the gap between Defenders and Corruptors, since Scourge was relatively inconsequential at low levels.

    As to making that a situation where one must team up as a Defender, well, as mentioned above, Defenders are a support class and secondly, as I just mentioned, low level foes are not big bags of HP nor do they have much in the way of Resistances to damage... it's not that bad for a soloing low level Defender. And as you level up, your damage increases moreso than it ever did before up to level 20.

  18. Pro Tip: Buy the full sets and then use the unused extras to frankenslot new alts leveling up. From level 7 onwards, new toons can have slot-and-forget IOs that level up with them and don't need replacing every 5 levels.
  19. The blue TARDIS is also Trademarked.


    And the zone is littered with the red ones, so, temporal looping and whatnot.

    Except that Defenders get the better force multipliers.

    Corruptor's -Resistance is at 75% strength of those of Defenders'; and their -Regen is at 50% strength of those of Defenders'.*

    A Defender's Time is more valuable than a Corruptor's Time.


    *Except when the debuffs are administered by a pseudopet, e.g. Tar Patch, then it's the same value for Defenders and Corruptors.

    Wow. A necropost to be needlessly insulting. Who hurt you that you would be so neuralgic to spousal ribbing?
  22. Funny thing is that against untyped and irresistable damage, Regen is, by definition, still king. Because the only mitigation against that is moar health per second, and Regen does that best. And the endgame certainly has a lot of that irresistable stuff.
