  1. Happy birthday!

    Did you turn 8 again today?

    Hmm. We'll have to see how it shapes up. Initially? I'd say about a 3 on the Mohs scale. However, if I get to pilot a viper with realistic zero-gravity physics, then I'd definitely have to give that a try.

    Now, that's more like a 6 or a 7.
  4. I think it'll be interesting to see what happens with some of the recipes or salvage that have huge differences in prices between blue and red side. For example, some of those Pet Damage sets that are more expensive for villains won't even net the price you get selling them to stores on the hero market.

    You'll need to complete either Montague Castanella's (hero) or Ashley McKnight's (villain) story arc to gain access to the Midnighter Club. You'll also need to be at least level 35 to use the Pillar of Ice and Flame inside the Club to enter Cimerora.

    They're merging the markets.

    Massive economic turmoil to follow.

    In with my MM. He's gotta finally get a Master of badge one of these times, right?

    Now that I have this on my Tank, I'd like to get it on my MM, too. Unfortunately I already have something scheduled for 9:00 on Wed., so I'll try to catch you guys on another run.
  10. And would help fill the team for ITF runs!

  12. So close tonight. We got all of the yellow and blue mitos down without a scare. Half the greens fell. Then when I jumped out to hide behind a rock from the Hammgro, the DoT slowly ate me. All I could do was watch the last little red nub of my HP grind away.

    Apparently there are a few people who can run it in 38 minutes, but my experience so far has been more on the order of a couple of hours with the Master of runs.
  14. I still need MoLG on two characters (one hero, one villain).

    It's been long enough since I ran MSTF that the pain has dulled and I think I could see myself helping someone else get it. Since I already have it on the only character that I really feel I need it on, I could bring any of my characters along to help another team get it. Your options would be:
    • Inv/SS Tank
    • MA/SR Scrapper
    • Dark/Dark Defender
    • Earth/Emp Controller
    • Energy/Dev Blaster
    • Kat/Regen Scrapper
    • Warshade
    • Inv/Energy Tank

  16. I love that one of the possible random self buff effects of the Secondary Mutation power turns you into a Rikti Monkey for one minute.

    Sure, provided I can peel myself away from work by 7:00 or so, I should be able to make it. (Assuming the usual 8:30 start time.) I could take the star, but I don't know about necessarily "leading" since I'm still absorbing tactics after not having run this TF in I don't know how long. Hami's still slowly and painfully devouring me.

    Just to be clear, I was only able to resist 90% of Hamidon's damage with EoEs.

    I've got an Inv/SS Tank that needs to get this one if something opens up.

    And a Ninja/FF MM, too. (Actually, he still needs all of the Master of... badges.)

    Aha. That would be it. Turning off all of the Ultra settings let me play with the Shader setting.

    Thanks.

    Sort of odd, but the framerate problem seems (at least for the moment) to have cleared up now. I turned off all the Ultra settings and noticed a marked improvement in performance (yeah, common sense, I know.) Playing with the shader at that point seemed to have little effect, so I set it back to high. I then restored the Ultra settings one by one to where they'd been before disabling. And now I'm not seeing any issues.

    I know it wasn't just a momentary instance before. I suffered through it for two hours before I got fed up and it persisted through several restarts of the game.

    Not that I'm not a little bothered by the issue just up and disappearing, but I suppose it'll do.
  21. I noticed after today's patch that I was experiencing some significant loss of framerate compared to last night.

    Checking my graphics settings, I noticed that Shadow Quality was set to "Low". That didn't look right, so I adjusted it to "Lowest".

    I also noticed that Shader Quality was set to "High". I thought I'd try playing with that setting a little and see if it made a difference. Problem is, no matter how many times I click on it, it's stuck on "High". I tried quitting out of the game, restarting, and coming back in. No joy. Still stuck on "High."

    Now, I don't know if adjusting my Shader Quality is even going to help with the broader issue of my new inability to stand inside the Tech store in Talos and type without the game stuttering, but not being able to adjust that setting is a nuisance in and of itself.

    Anyone have any suggestions I might try?

    Barring a mito fix going live between now and then, my MM still needs MoITF if we're up for it.

    They also reduce the incoming damage by distracting the damage source with multiple possible targets. Not to mention that in bodyguard mode they'll attack - and quite likely kill - the damage source when it hits you.
