Maybe if you weren't such an attention wh... can you say that word on this board? Damned censor! Anyways, if you were actually just trying to say what's on your mind and not actually giving any care to those stupid red and green squares, then maybe (ironically enough), they wouldn't be fluctuating so wildly.
I got one red pip and I'm actually kinda amused by it. People don't like what I say, they don't have to listen! But when in the course of human history has anyone ever actually taken that advice? That little red square is just yet another reminder of how many people there are who just can't help being The Pesci.
Yeah, whatever. -
Quote:I gave you the rep that brought it down to two red jellybeans, since you seemed to be cheering on getting red repped.Originally Posted by Westley
It was disabled by me because it was fluctuating too much. Within the span of a few hours it went from several green jellybeans to two red jellybeans, then back to four jellybeans. When I had made that statement, it had just inexplicably gone UP again. I don't like instability.
I didn't mean it, though. -

That's not funny dude, I just had my first wisdom tooth pulled out Thursday, still hurts like hell.
When they finally did it, the dentist was all "You don't need much vicodin, because this won't hurt." Except that it did. It hurt a lot. -
I'm not sure I'd call it beauty, but it is impressive.

I think the Coralax were planned to be expanded as an epic AT, but that never got off the ground.
I can see why the devs might not want much EAT proliferation, too.
I did all of the game's story arcs from 1-50 prior to the addition of the Hollows, Striga, etc, and I seem to recall that several plot threads were dropped - the whole Family/Tsoo/Warriors thing felt like it was just dropped with no real conclusion. The Banished Pantheon didn't really go anywhere after the Wheel of Destruction, and so on - admittedly, the WoD was a pretty good arc. -
Quote:Ah, right, but no, I had globals when I logged out.Originally Posted by Celestial_Lord
Teaming with me was the obvious cause.
In all seriousness, while we were initially teamed on your Crab Spider, you switched out at one point to your Fire / Dark Corruptor, and then logged out for a hour. Did you do anything with your globals while on your Corruptor?
But yeah, globals are occasionally wonky.
Misremembered my character but not the presence of chat. I keep my global chat pane open all the time because I solo frequently and it's nice to see activity. -
I haven't tried in a long time, so I mostly get about 200-300 million in a week from casual farming or AE tickets.

Quote:Thanks for suggestions.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
Logging out with channels and logging in with channels does not specifically mean you did nothing else on other characters inbetween, which is why I wanted to make sure to clarify that fact.
I understand your frustration. Unfortunately, I don't know of anything else that could have caused it. Were these private channels? Why can't you just rejoin them and re-add them to your tab? Then I suggest doing a /chatsave so it should save your chat tab preferences. You can then use /chatload to reload them on another character, or it if it ever happens again.
On a side note (not pertaining to your specific situation), some people set up a redundant Global tab on on of the extra hidden tabs, containing all their global channels. That ensures that a simple misclick on one tab wont eject them from their channels.
About half of the channels were private. I've rejoined the public channels. -
Quote:This is what I did:Originally Posted by Master-Blade
To further clarify:
Because they are GLOBAL channels, what you change on one toon will affect another. Did you happen to make a new character or play around with your chat tabs on any of your other characters in the meantime? If you accidentally deleted a tab on a different toon, it could remove you from the global channel, and then the first toon would still not see the chat when you logged back into it, even though they were there when you last logged off from it.
I played my Crab Spider, teamed with Celestial Lord. I had global channels. I logged out for an hour. I logged back in and had no global channels.
I did nothing between those two actions, as I had already stated in my previous post, when I described logging out of a character and logging back into that same character with no channels.
I'm sorry if I seem a bit frustrated, but I'd already answered the question you're asking.
And I understood what you were saying the first time. It's just that it wasn't applicable.

Quote:No, I noticed the missing channels because my global chat tab was completely empty of chat. I logged out of my crab spider with global channels, logged back into my crab spider without global channels.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
If you accidentally delete a chat tab that contains global channels, you may also be removed from those channels.
I'm not sure if that's what happened to you, but I'm putting it out there as a possible cause.
But thanks for pointing that out. It could have been the case.
-
They're not down - I checked with a friend and his channels are fine.
However, I've been removed from every channel I was in. What is the cause of this?
I tried searching for similar issues and didn't find any. I found people who had trouble while the chat server was rebooting, but not this. -
Yeah, i didn't notice the to-hit debuffs much because of my focused accuracy + global accuracy set bonuses, but i could see they could be a real pain.
And yeah, if I had more energy resistance, i might not have needed to use Dark Regen as often, but I was still running low on endurance to handle everything.
And yeah, i didn't think you'd had people going x4 in that. I'd meant to reduce the difficulty as I do with custom groups and forgot. It made for a very fun experience, though.
And I love fighting BP in general. One of my favorite enemy groups. -
The variety makes the death cult better, yes. I think once I might have got two tar patches stacked on me, but I didn't really see the degenerate stacking I've seen in other custom groups (like entire spawns of minions with targeted heals and strong debuff attacks).
The mu weren't a problem because of their energy damage, but because they stacked so much end drain at once that I was constantly on the edge of not having enough. I had to leave fights a few times because my end dropped too low (after dark consumption and conserve power, and I had no blues or any way to make more) and I couldn't afford to keep trying to defeat the spawn and rely on dark regeneration. And yeah, this was through the 70% end drain resistance murky cloud provides, along with all the +rec IOs and set bonuses that I have. Also, I think that the Mu bosses have really high negative damage resistance.
I haven't done part three yet - I got into a long TF and wasn't really up for following that up, but I will get it tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

Since it's a bit harder to organize stuff red side, I figured I'd give this a try.
Sign up below if you would like to join me on a level 24+ red side respec trial on Wednesday, January 27, at 9 P.M. ET / 6 P.M. PT. I figure it should take a hour at most.

Lord Mayhem,
I just played the first two parts on my DM/DA scrapper set to 0/x4/bosses, and the second mission was one of the most challenging solo experiences I've had in the game without feeling overwhelmed.The mu spawns were almost too much, but not quite. Fighting a mu spawn and a cult spawn at the same time was exciting times.
Good stuff. I'll be doing part 3 tomorrow. -

When I solo my defenders at +0/x1 and my tankers at +0/x1, the tankers are always faster. The tankers can also solo at higher levels against larger numbers of mobs. I'm not saying that defenders need to solo against larger spawns at higher levels (and I'm sure some powersets can), but I think defenders could use a bit more soloing speed.
Ice melee needed a buff for a very long time. Using an underperforming set to set up a straw man is silly. -
Quote:Well, not all defenders can solo AVs, so there's that.Originally Posted by PennyPA
What challenge is there if you can solo AVs? 3 mins? 5 mins? Would you like to ever provide some proof or data yourself?
And I think it was already discussed that defenders can solo in relative safety, just fairly slowly. However, my D3 solos more slowly than my Ice/Stone tanker, and isn't as safe.
I worked on soloing Chimera on my D3 way back in issue 4, and I can't even begin to describe how long that process took before I gave up. It was well over 5 minutes, though, and I had to keep a tray full of break frees (or whatever we had in those days) because he has a sleep or hold or some such thing, and losing all my toggles was not helping. -
Quote:Dark Miasma is pretty powerful, although I wouldn't say it's the most highly powerful. It has some nice debuffs that mitigate incoming damage and boost outgoing damage, and it heals better than radiation or storm, and about as well as kinetics, based on where people are standing when the heal fires.Originally Posted by Fire_Minded
Iv been starting to hear on the Boards here and there, about how a Dark/Dark Defender is common place, and arguably the most, if not highly powerful Defender there is in the game.
It was a weak combination to play on a defender... in issue 1. I don't remember when dark miasma was revamped, but it was improved considerably (-res on tar patch and a better animation on twilight grasp, for example).Quote:I made a Dark Defender because I never saw one past level 14, ever.Everyone I talked to told me that it is a weak combonation to play on a Defender, and I kinda thumbed through the boards, not finding anything suggjesting that anyone worries about making or playing one.
I think that a lot of people see kin, storm, and rad as better than dark.Quote:I run into people in the game who say things like "Whoa!I never saw a Dark Defender before!", and "Wow!How can you take out a mob like that?", or "I have over 50 characters, I was thinking of making a Defender like yours one of these days...".People literally stop to look at me, some ask questions.Others comment on how cool my Dark Servant looks.
Im also on Freedom, one of the more populated servers as well.So my questions here, are simple ones.
If a Dark Defender is the best of the best in a few fields that many other Defender builds lack, why is it iv never heard about it till now?Matter of fact, why dont I see Dark Defenders other then my self running around?
There really are more dark defenders out there than you've seen.Quote:I mean, if there are as many self-proclaimed Min/Maxers out there as iv heard, and seen, why do I seem to be the only Dark people see now days?
Is there something that turns people off of these sets that I havnt heard about?I see mainly Kins, Empaths, ect, and none of them seem to be able to handle what I can handle.I also easly keep teams alive, and make missions simple for them because of my massive -toHit Debuffs, and high burst healing.Whats the gimmick im missing here?
I read one thing, and the reality is something else.Please help me out, I simply dont understand. -
Quote:Soloing an AV doesn't mean you can solo at a reasonable pace.Originally Posted by PennyPA
But, but, but Adeon Hawkwood...are you telling me now defenders are like the other ATs already?
That can't be!!! I mean we were told in this very thread:
And some are looking for faster ways to solo. Now defenders are just like the others? I am so confused here. -
Quote:Heh. It's the only power in the game that can force me to use conserve power or dark consumption, and occasionally demands both. I never actually run out of endurance, but I come way too close for comfort. If that power didn't exist, I could reasonably say I overdid my end recovery.Originally Posted by Desmodos
That power sucks from the greatest pits of hell. It's actually worst than that but I can't muster the effort properly articulate it with out extensive usage of profanity.
There are two solutions for this power, both of which you're likely well aware of.- 1) Target mobs that cast Mask of Vitation as quickly as possible. Opening with an AoE KB, like Torrent, is a crappy solution, but it works...some times.
- 2) Kidnap Castle and hold him hostage until he agrees to include some resistance to this power along with Dark Armor's end drain resistance. While your at it, get him to fix CoF
Edit: And oh yes, fix CoF. Oh, god, this is such a ****** power now. I still can't get over how many defensive powers were nerfed when they got too close to invincibility's capabilities, but invincibility itself remained untouched forever and a day. Okay, only two immediately come to mind (Cloak of Fear and Energy Absorption), but it just so happens I was a frequent user of both.
