The EU servers smell funny, you don't want to play there .

Just a general thought/suggestion. It would be nice to extend the server transfer discout through the next week so that people who want to take advantage of the server merge to move characters between the NA/EU servers can get the discout.

I suspect it's an oversight but I figure it'll get fixed at the same time as Time Bomb.

In honor of our newest mod I present the funniest joke in the world:

Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer?

Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!

Sooooo.... basically you're making a new channel and giving it a name that's VERY similar to an old channel in an attempt to make people think it's an offshoot of the same channel? Is that about right?

Here's what I did on my Bots/Traps;

Alpha: I went for Musculature. The choice here is, I think, heavily build dependent. Accuracy is very important on the trials, you really want to have Tactics and have all your pets ED capped for Accuracy, so if you don't have that Nerve is nearly essential, but worthless otherwise. Cardiac is of very limited utility for a Bots/Traps MM. Spiritual versus Musculature is a tough choice. I went Musculature since I am currently at about 80% global recharge from IOs which I find sufficient for my needs. Traps is very recharge dependent but recharge is something that suffers from diminishing returns, in my case adding spiritual would change my recharge times on 90 second powers from about 34 seconds to 29 seconds which in my opinion is less useful than a 30% damage boost for my bots.

Judgement: This is mostly a personal choice, I went Pyronic for Theme reasons.

Lore: Again a mostly personal choice. I went Core Seers since I find the support pets lacking and theme-wise Seers were the best fit. If you do go for a support pet Seers is probably the worst choice. Clockwork provides the best heal and defense bonuses and the Battle orbs provide an AoE defense boost which is nice for your bots (although they don't keep it up all the time which is annoying).

Interface: Dech's pretty much covered it. For solo play Reactive is the best option (even assuming they change the current Caltrops Nuke) but it's overused in team play so you might want something else.

Destiny: Rebirth is the best option here IMHO although personally I went for regen over hit points. I think there are solid arguments both ways, personally my feeling is that the regen stacked with Triage Beacon makes it well worth it. Normal regen pulses every 12 seconds, Triage Beacon alone decreases this to 3.1 seconds, stacking Rebirth on tops of that decreases it to every 2 seconds which increases your average HP/sec by about 50%. The extra HP are nice but I see them as a way to take a heavy alpha rather than as an long term survival boost. In any case, I think it's a personal preference more than anything else.

Honestly I don't know. I don't have anywhere near that amount of inf and I'm already running out of ideas on how to spend it. With the Incarnate system I'm only really playing three characters, and those two of them already have pretty much top of the line builds. The other one still needs some tweaking but I doubt I could spend to much on him. I'm to lazy to IO characters that I'm not going to use.

I could make a private base but I did the math on that and converting 2billion inf to prestige provides enough to make a fully functional base so it's not a huge usage.
