Oh no! I have 4 Reward tokens saved up because I'm maxed out in the shrubbery, what *ever* will I do? <yoinks Fire and Ice for assorted toons who're likely to get costume upgrades>

Hoo-Bleedin'-RAY!


Shame the 'history' of where all my toons have been in various zones since their creation has been lost


So my squishies who step out of a broadcast area should no longer only be saved from instaplant by the one shot code when he decides to teleport halfway across the map to kick me in the face? Good-oh.

Oh good, I only put in a bug report regarding that one about a year ago...

(on the 10th of November 2010, according to my email receipt, so exactly 14 months ago in that case. o_O)

Good set of fixes all told and if you can ignore my natural pessimism/cynicism, then you may notice I seem rather pleased by the whole thing... Assuming nothing else got horribly broken in the process

Yep, that was the same patch that cut knockback in half or less, making it far less useful as damage mitigation. Thankfully that seems to have since been fixed.

However, I'm noticing occasional ragdoll spasming at the moment which is making KB pretty long term mitigation, since sometimes a mob will get stuck in a ragdoll spasm without having been defeated, and when that happens to a Lieutenant or Boss, then it's just an excuse to hammer on them until they stop spasming either by unsticking or being arrested (and remember kiddies, 'arrested' just means 'stopped' )...

I believe this has been mentioned before, but 'Featured' doesn't mean 'On Sale', it just means 'Hey, look, you may not have seen this on the market before, doesn't it look shiny, don't you want to buy it, eh?'.

Added a couple that you missed there

(admittedly Electric's an APP and not a full powerset, but still...)

But Guyperfect was talking about new sets since Issue 6, so really for that precise discussion, they should probably be discounted.

Just had a Mapserver 90% of the way through Maria Jenkins' 'Rescue Statesman from Dominatrix and Marauder' mission.

I got a forest of red spikes on /netgraph 1 before it happened, and had lag in the previous mission too. I think I was up to something like 150 lost in packets on /netgraph in that mission.

Put in a petition about it just for info's sake, then called it a night, as I didn't feel like pummeling Dominatrix and the associated hordes of Imperial troops to get to the same point again.

Mind you, this was a Mapserver withing a mission, not whilst loading into/out of a mission, so may be an unrelated issue. <shrug>

I know this has been asked before, But I can't recall if it's ever been answered clearly.

Is there a (sensible) reason why the EU players don't get the 12+2 month subscription option?

I don't know if this is the exact font used, but scanning through the Gothic-Modern section of http://www.dafont.com/ got me two that looked close.

Abaddon

and

Drakon

Of the two, Abaddon looks closer to my eye.

(dafont is rather useful, but can be tedious to trawl through if you're looking for something very specific)

Not quite.

If you pick the right one at the right time, you can watch the static spawns start legging it toward the portal. Which is why my favoured tactic on that mission with a team is to leave half the team guarding against the runners, while the other half deals with the static spawns.

Not failed that mission yet, and I've been through it a dozen times at least over the years.

If all you're doing is waiting for the runners, then the mission will feel like it's never going to end, because the waves of runners are so spread out over time, and there are a lot of spawns on that map. However, I have done the mission just through the application of patience and waiting for runners... it took a while.

*and Dark Servant until it times out, which is thankfully on a shorter timer than the defender/MM/Corruptor version.

Apologies for pedantry, but I enjoy pummeling carnies and I've become possibly far too familiar with their quirks...

Thirty-Seven, check your PM's.

Well, you may be crazy, but I saw it on the community tracker too, briefly.

There's a very thorough thread somewhere in the scrapper forums going over slotting/frankenslotting/optimising Siphon Life.

Gimme a minute and I'll see if I can find it.

<insert 5 minutes of looking here>

Ah, there we go this may help, or at least give you some ideas.

A medium Breakfree gives you Mag 15 Confuse Protection, IIRC.

The Confuse effect in the Avatar of Hamidon's chamber is Mag 20.

The only reason a Breakfree works in that situation is if enough other people on your team are running Tactics, if you already have some confuse protection from your powersets somewhere, or if enough people are hitting Clarions to take up the slack, and there is slack to take up.

Two basic BF's will keep you clear of it though, so a simple variation on the Keyes strategy of 'bring a full tray of greens and restock in the hospital' using BF's instead of greens will work.

I've not got enough any market bids to worry about (I sell and don't tend to buy), and I keep my emails empty.

If I had any significant bids/sales pending, I'd be tempted to yank them off just in case, but I'm going to wait and see this time.

Since not everyone understands or is willing to play the market, or run AE farms.

The forum population tends to be more knowledgable about how to acquire the resources they want in game. Lots of players who just play the game don't know or particularly care about flipping, marketing, ticket rolls, reward merits, hero merits, Emp/Astral merit conversion, optimal level bands and all the rest of that crap.

(I dabble on the market but don't AE farm, personally. 300M is still a hell of a lot of inf if your perceptions haven't been warped by having multiples of billions available to you, like mine have...)

The blaster will have little trouble, as if you read the article, you'll see that temporary flight is available to everyone.

Mask or Weakness (Steel Strongmen) and Mask of Vitiation (Dark Ring Mistress) are both NE, not Psi typed. I'm not sure right now about positional types (logged out of the game for the night, so can't check), but I think they're both Ranged/NE.
