    Mushroom Mushroom is fine as is.

    This sound cool but doesn't offer the feature I think would me most useful.
    I checked the settings and the options for Slot being level-swapped is too low for (source/destination) power.
    -Allow swap (invalid)
    -Show Dialog
    -Cancel

    I see the terminology for shift exists and wonder why it isn't offered as an option?

    I'd love if the program could calculate whether you have too many slots in higher level powers and if not shift slots in such a way that you could indeed drag a level 13 slot to a level 30 power if there was another slot somewhere that was usable there.

    Basically allow me to move around slots as I like as long as I don't put too many slots in higher powers. Something like reassign slot levels from bottom to top I guess?

    Cj is useless for defensive slotting. Tough is nice for resistance move the slots.

    Must not have been checking very closely. You'd have seen his Huuuuge goodbye post.

    Happy Birthday

    Members with Birthdays on 02-07-2011 Crymsin, _darque_, sock_puppet (38), AquaTiger (36), BengalofThundera (34), MajikMan, Maribelle, Occam (26), SDragon (24)

    So happy Birthday Maribelle!
  6. Pets aren't affected by recharge buffs. the FF+ rchg are useless to you.
  7. Sounds old. very old.

    I'd suggest creating characters on one of the following servers although most are good;
    Freedom: unofficial pvp server, all the pvpers moved here. Freedom and Virtue are the two highest population servers
    Virtue: unofficial RP server
    Justice/Champion/Infinity the runners up for most populated server.
  8. No its terrible. We've got players who've been subscirbed for 7 years.

















    In all seriousness, I enjoy it. Graphics are great in Praetoria. Powers are second to none. Great people. Super groups.

    also what is 'deluxe version' ?

    What was your...

    Nil. My Niches continued along at their usual ridiculous and slow profit.
  10. Phone makes selective quoting impossible so just pretend I'm quoting the part in Mega_Jamie's post about the patrons.
    Of the stfs I have failed this week not one of them was due to the patrons. In every case our aggro holder (illusionist or tank) wasn't able to keep LR off of us. I understand exactly what I'm supposed to do but without a competent meat shield LR instagibs everyone.

    Then we come to what was at one time one of my favorite sfs: rsf. I seem to have lost the knack for this as none of my fights have been the cakewalk I remember. On two of the succesful ones we had to resort to the good old globe pull.

    I like the challenge but due to the pain in the butt of pug teams failing multiple times I've already reevaluated just which of my toons really needs a very rare.

    I'm not sure if there was a point I was trying to make when I started this but whatever it was I've already forgotten...

    Why does how much from the alpha matter? Personally I just want to see the value and don't care the source.
  13. That's the point of the player coined phrase. Its a sarcastic way of mocking the Weekly Strike Target. WTF indeed.
  14. Hurray! thanks Diellan and DePr0grammer et al!
  15. Why do you need to have a main character at all? I have 12(?) 50s and none of them are my main. Play whatever makes you happy when you want to play it.

    Let's see...Leo is on freedom... yeah that's a griefer.
  17. Nitpick; there is no resistance softcap. That is-- there is no point at which more resistance has no effct before hitting the archetype's hardcap.

    I share this thought process. If you want money/xp go to AE.

    I think some people would be amazed to learn how often that kind of thing happens in software development/maintenance situations.
    Still, it's nice no matter what the reason.
    I know, and I'm willing to bet that it snuck in during the hotfix.
  20. Dev1, " Hey Dev2 we forgot to close the Ski Chalet when we copied this code to live"
    Dev2, " Oh well, let's tell them its a gift and leave it that way until the spring fling."
    Dev1, " That's a great idea Dev2!"
  21. StrykerX made a lot of good points about the basics so I'll expound on epics and alphas. Note I am doing this all from memory since I'm typing on my phone.

    Alpha boosts and you:
    Unlike set bonuses the alpha boosts do extend to your pets. As a bots traps you have a lot of choices here. If you feel that your bots aren't doing enough damage you should consider musculature.
    If you are constantly running out of endurance try cardiac.
    To get your traps up even faster you can go with spiritual. Note, several issues ago pets of all sorts were made immune to recharge so your bots won't get any benefit from spiritual's recharge boost.
    Finally there is nerve which enhances accuracy. More interestingly one of its branches also enhances defense.
    I'll admit I can't decide myself which alpha to use. My mm currently has both cardiac and spiritual crafted.

    Epics
    Mace mastery offers you an aoe immob and a smash/lethal/nrg shield.
    Mu mastery offers an aoe immob with -kb and a resistance shield. Personally I use this.
    >.< those are the only two I remember.

    To save a new topic on the same basic thing but not quite;

    What did you do during the downtime everyone else?
    I took a short nap, read some manga, took another nap and read forums.

But perhaps just that they don't want to have to 'remove' them later either.

    Or as ya said, different code branch .
    What sense would it make to test an issue without the core parts of it that it was building on top of? We've been told that i20 has Incarnate trials which offer another way to get the Notices. Logically one would assume they must be.. testing the usage of them?

    In fact that is probably why the hotfix was so quick. They just had to rip more of i20's code

    This makes me curious how the heck are the people in i20 super secret NDA Beta testing Incarnate trials properly without level shift?
    Is this is a case of oops we forgot to pull the entire level shift data when we made the strike pack patch?
