Oh yeah I reported it alright

I agree that a large amount of the words on the list probably shouldn't be there. But a profanity list should exist, just not as draconian as this one.

Meh, id rather this be a safe space and have a few annoying words being blocked that makes us think more than let some of this slide

I've already seen a mission on AE where a Klansman asks you to rid the world of coloured people. With the NAACP as the Arch Villain.

radiation emission is only good if the rest of your group knows how the /rad set works.

if they dont, expect to die a lot and get blamed for it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have few problems with this playing. If people keep killing anchors, I tell them about it.

other tips on /rad for dummies

1.) Anchor LTs in big spawns, miniosn die too quick and Melee monsters will target the bosses. Target EBs, AVS if they are there
2.)Target LTs at the back of the spawn, fire off lingering rad first so they dont run
3.) Target a different LT for each toggle, that way a random kill wont drop all the protection.
4.) If your steamrolling and no one is getting hurt much, consider only using ennervating field to increase damage output, or just blast away and wait for the EBs/AVs to use your debuffs.
5.) Choking cloud is good now, dont hang at the back like a empath, get stuck in at point blank. Just manage your aggro and you will be sweet.
6.) Procs dont just work in attacks, a achiles -res and lady grey change for negative dmage in radiation infection can help.

For more info, see my guide

Rad/Dark, Rad, Cold or Kin. /Kin depends highly on your patience. I'd say Rad/ because of the huge defense debuffs and good AoE ensures you and your team will always be able to hit their targets. It's especially useful early on in the pre-SO range. Rad/ can also slot a very useful proc in pretty much every attack. Achilles' Heel chance for -res.

[/ QUOTE ]
Don't forget the Lady Grey, Shield Breaker, Positron's Blast, Obliteration, Armageddon, and Apocolypse chance for damage procs - you can put 3 damage procs in almost every attack power along with the Achilles' -resistance if you're so inclined...

Then just toss in 2 Acc/Dam SHOs, and make heavy use of Fulcrum Shift so that you're damage-capped anyway on a Rad/Kin.

[/ QUOTE ]

Procs make me smile, I have so many procs in my rad/rad.

Achiles heal -res doesn't stack from same caster I believe (i could be wrong though)

Anyways, any combo of the following makes for a great teamer

Rad Blast, Sonic Blast, Dark blast and

Radiation Emission, Cold Domination, kinetics, Thermal Rad, Pain domination

Actually people can and do sue, not to win but in the hopes of being annoying enough to get an out of court settlement.

Hmm, I still find your system a bit weird, not bad or nothing, just different.

its not commonly used today

[/ QUOTE ]

...and that's the point! Why revive the antiquated negative connotation? Specifically reminding us that this word can be used hatefully as well as in normal context is not just absurd, it's [censored].

[/ QUOTE ]

I think they are erroring on the side of caution, and probably too over cautious i agree.

However, derogatory names can offend some players. Spook isnt one that upsets me personally, but i imagine it may others.

I know at work we use spook to talk about the intelligence guys

[ QUOTE ]
You also cannot use the word 'spook' in MA, even if it describes a ghost.

I agree, the game's obscenity filter was written by illiterate pawns. I'd like to defenestrate the person responsible. And I'm sure he wouldn't want anything to happen to his fenestrates.

[/ QUOTE ]

Spook makes a small amount of sense, its not commonly used today but it was used as a derogatory title for African Americans.

I imagine that's why it's in there.

Tidbits:

1. The turrets respawn on a 5 minute timer.

2. Bloody Bay has inspiration vendors. Use them.

3. The best insp load for squishies v. EBs is three to four defense, one break free, and the rest damage. Really, popping six damage allows you to take down the EB within the minute of protection you get from the defense insps. Oh, and make sure you're on diff level 1.

[/ QUOTE ]

If on diff 3 swap one damage insp for an accuracy.

Thats my basic anti -EB lowbie kitout

[ QUOTE ]

Actually, anyone can sue anyone else for any reason. The real questions are: 1) Is it worth it? and 2) Will you win? (perhaps a subset of 1, but some curmudgeons sue even with no hope of winning just to make a point).

I guess that counts as cross thinking.

Hmmm, I didn't even notice the title, I assumed he was saying Devouring Earth (DE) was the new meow.

Now I'm more confuzzeled then ever.

So I'll just say:

Devouring earth farm...... that doesn't sound easy at all

[ QUOTE ]
the only problem with the /rad set is that its heal is designed to work in conjunction with its debuffs. what usually ends up happening when i group with my fire/rad (first and only lvl 50 toon and the single most fun character ive ever played in any mmo) is that ill drop my debuffs on a mob (called an anchor, for any that didnt know) and start healing toss out my web envelope and drop rain of fire and some idiot has killed my anchor. so now my debuffs are recharging and my team is taking more damage than i can heal through without my debuffs killing the mobs acc.

so basically /rad is quite possibly the single most powerful secondary set a corruptor can have, but unless you're grouped with players that know not to kill the guy you're debuffing until last, its gonna be a rough go and people are gonna think you dont know what you're doing, when in fact its them screwing you over.

[/ QUOTE ]

/Rad has a heal now?

Its been so long since I had to use that on a team I almost forget I have healing.

Too busy killing/holding/stunning/debuffing to be healing.

[ QUOTE ]
ok, so today i'm playing my Cold Domination corrupter, using my shields to buff my team as you do.

Conversation

brute "Stop shielding me"
Me "Any reason in particular"
Brute "Cold Shields slow down your recharge rate"
Me "ummmm... I assure you they don't"

I hear stuff like this on occasion and wonder where it comes from?

Anyone else have classic stories about being told how a power works, when you know that's complete rubbish?

[/ QUOTE ]

Is that Brute a RETARDED??? This is the most ridiculous myth I've heard.. but I think I should read more of this thread now.

[/ QUOTE ]

This may come from the recent MA farms.. Don't know the cause of it but when AVs and shield-bots would buff you in the Farms it WOULD kill your recharge.. once I picked up like 3-4 shield bot while running around and even after using hasten felt like I was hit by lingering rad.



[/ QUOTE ]

It gets worse, the guy was a stone brute and had another brute friend. They spawned a large map full of 54 Devouring earth to farm (who farms DE????). I went along becuase they asked nicely.

I was sidekicked to a guy who door sat (mainly becuase i think he was a 2nd account of the stone brute). 3 other toons did nothing but door sit

These 2 brutes attacked the DE and were SO VERY SLOW at killing them. Granite with no DPS equals very slow going.

2 Brutes and they couldnt control aggro either, I face planted just about everytime i attacked. After 5 minutes of realising that no one was doing anything, i kept dying, and the brutes couldnt kill anything I quit. The "don't buff me" thing was simply the last straw.

It was a shocker, let me tell you. And if i was a worse human being i would have screamed "LRN2PLYN00b!"

Seriosuly, no one outside paragon studios knows jack all about the expansion yet.

Mostly people are just speculating.

My 2 cents on the confuse thing

Seeds of confusion = Alpha strike be gone.

Drop invisibility and get a +stealth IO for sprint if you can afford it

I have a level 27 grav/kin controller

Im using siphon Speed as a travel power, but will be getting IR at 28.

It's slightly annoying at times, and a real pain when your traveling in areas full of red con minions. But if your in those zones you can always use the mayhem/safeguard travel packs until you get IR at 28

[ QUOTE ]
There's also the slow, annoying way. Go back to your "active contacts" and they'll give you the next higher one.

So if you last hung out in Steel Canyon with a level 10-15 contact, I think they give you a 16-20 (probably in skyway), who gives you a 21-25 (probably Talos) who gives you a 26-30 (probably Indy) who gives you a 30-35, who gives you a 36-40, who gives you someone in PI.

They might "Shortcut it" and the level 15 might give you a level 41 directly; it's been a while since I've done this.

I think they do that now.... 90% sure at least

Well this is one I run into with my Hero I'm working on

All Defenders can heal.

My Trick Arrow/Electricity Defender would have trouble healing others (maybe handing out green inspirations)

[/ QUOTE ]

What, you have gotten your heal arrow yet ? And the Clear Mind arrow is great, too bad it only works on the enemies, in one ear and out the other

[/ QUOTE ]

The really braindead thing about that fallacy is that a good number of defender sets dont have heals

Sonic res, Force fields and trick arrow have no heals
Cold domination has a +hp buff, thats not really a heal as such

So 40% of defender sets don't have heals.

That game has a whole bunch of concepts and ideas that you could use (As long as you dont break the EULA with names)

Myth: Alts are a tremendous amount of fun to play!

Fact: Alts are good only for their market slots. Get them to 15 slots and then put them to work behind the counter.

Why not do both?

I play my alts about once a month or so, before i log i put in heaps of bids and resell when i come back

all of my toons are self sufficient this way and most have 10 million inf well before reaching level 20. Thats without starting with a "seed" fund of more than 2 large inspirations from the tutorial
