  1. Playing around with a nova/dwarf build for my PB, and was wondering if anyone's tried slotting a Gaussian's Chance for Build-up in the nova form? If I'm understanding it right, it should have a chance to proc every 10 secs in nova, since it's a toggle? If you have, do you find it procs often enough to be worth it? I've currently got it slotted for 2 flight speed, 2 end mod, and 2 to-hit buff.

    Or yeah, I'm not sure anyone would play anything else.
    As much as I hate to, I think I have to agree. Bots/Kin/Mu with Group TP would be ridiculous levels of carnage. I wants it.

    If I could make a Bots/Kin MM, I'm not sure I'd ever play anything else.

    Still a classic, even though it's from August 1999.

    I really should have known better, seeing as how I work at a helpdesk (also in Texas!), but I really needed to get my alt-ing on, and kinda panicked.
  6. Got it sorted out, restarting let me see the text in the 2nd box, which was a notification of no CC on file (was using paypal for game time.) Added card in account mgmt., and all is well now. Thanks for the help guys.
  7. Thanks, I'll give that a shot and see if it works. I didn't see a text field in the box though. Oddly enough, after having that issue, I tried to delete a character, and the "type in the name" box also showed up blank, although it had the text field there. That one showed up correctly after a restart, so hopefully that'll solve the other issue as well. Thanks again.
  8. I'm currently trying to buy some extra character slots, and coming across an issue. I choose the "5 character slots" option from the store, get the warning box (non-transferable, non-refundable, etc.), then after clicking OK on that box, a blank text box comes up with just an OK button at the bottom. Any had this issue before, and know how to resolve it?

    Rikti Invasions?

    Hey all, just came back to the game from an extended break, and had a question regarding the Rikti Invasions. Do they still happen on anything resembling a regular basis? I used to be able to keep track of them with the calendar wallpapers from the site, but those only went up to April I think. Do they still happen anymore, and if so, is there a list of dates? Still trying to get the Rikti sword for my BS scrapper. Thanks for any info!
  10. More pics up from 2nd wave of spawns in Atlas on Freedom, though I forgot to turn on the UI for these ones.

  11. Some pics I've gotten from what's happening on Freedom, I'll upload more if I get a chance.

  12. Just a quick note Lighthouse, none of the "view" links on the Cyborg booster page work.
  13. You know, threads like these are exactly why I love this game so much. Community ftw!

    So, is I8 out yet, then?

    Yes, but you have to solo a TA/A defender to 50 on Invincible to unlock it.
  15. HB Arctic, hope you had an awesome day.
  16. The only time I've ever been in an arena match, the final score was 7-2-1 in my favor. I was using an Archery blaster. If that's not a bug, I don't know what is.

    The only thing that really worried me was the AR Blaster. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of a Trip Mine binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

    That's just pure awesome.

    Made this one after one of those wonderful 2 hour missions the other night.
  19. Very nice guide. I just rolled up a rad/kin last night, and boy is he fun! Siphon Power + Irradiate ftw! I also find it to be a very good combo, as all the -def of Rad/* allows me to hit with the */Kin powers a lot more often. Seems like it's going to be a very good buff/debuff/kill everything toon.
  20. Awesome guide, very well written and informative. Just thought I'd comment on one thing:

    Bodyguard: There is some debate about how quickly bodyguard mode kicks in. Some say, the instant Henchmen are switched to Defensive Follow and have Supremacy bonus, others say it may have a "grace period" of about 5 seconds. It is hard to tell as there is no active Icon for being protected by Bodyguards and if you gotta switch over fast your proably to pre-occupied to definately tell. Best advice: Anticipate the need before you need it.

    From what I can tell on my 34 Bots/Traps, as soon as you set them to defensive follow, Bodyguard is engaged in the sense that they start taking a portion of incoming damage, however, they will wait ~6 seconds before finally returning fire to anyone hitting you. Another interesting point, is they only return fire for successful hits, not misses.
