  1. Following our rocking Defender STF today we'd like to do a troller one too

    OK that filled faster than I thought it would
  2. Amazing fun that. I loved tanking LR at the end (thanks to all you for keeping me alive for that, buffing and healing was insane) and well just all of it. We rocked the STF, it will never be the same again
  3. I like costumes, I will likely buy it 3 times

    People who you've never talked to before who call you mate immediately.

    You must hate Aussies then... G'day mate!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    As I posted above, I generally just hate people, and that is regardless of nationality, creed, religion, race etc. I'm fairly equal with my hatred.

    Of course Australians are to blame for that darn Australian Questioning Intonation currently pervading British youths. Yeah, that annoys me too. I'm just a bitter old man.

    Hurrah for bitter old men!!

    I've been one since I were a lad.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I hope to become one some day. Bitter young man doesn't carry the same weight

    I very much doubt it is going to be anything Set-breaking or outside of ED

    [/ QUOTE ]ED affects only enhancements and nothing else, and that's all it will ever do.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Consider somebody is already at 'Ultimate/Ultimate Improved Regeneration' or 'Ultimate Health' and they log out in a Hospital as a caregiver profession, they will get more regen/health? or will it be cancelled out as at the Cap?

    [/ QUOTE ]They'll get more until they hit the caps for those attributes, yes. Which isn't too hard for max HP, but is nearly impossible (without outside buffs) in the case of regen.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Only ever done it once with buffs too, but its nice on a blaster

    When I respec, don't dump powers in my trays, I would rather do that myself.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Or, even better, preserve the tray positions of any powers that you've carried over through the respec (and leave any new powers out of the tray initially).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ahah, something I'd like to see after doing a respec the other day. My 23 temp powers made sorting this out a right mess

    GR saying earlier in the thread something along the lines of, ".... MUCH more " is part of what makes me think the best is still yet to come.

    *edit.. (my eternal and rather naiive optimism is the other part of course )*

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You didn't think "oh no its GDN again" then?......... actually neither did I but that would have been the extreme pessimistic thought.

    I13 doesn't look to be a bad issue from that announcement, but I really don't find it an exciting one at the moment. Hopefully I can still be impressed by something later. It actually doesn't take much to be honest. When willpower was added I called it an amazing issue cause I'd wanted a new secondary for a claws scrapper for ages. That was my favourite announcement after CoV so I can be easily pleased. Just the only thing that's got me counting down at the moment is the idea of a villain patron respec (and I don't even need one its just a feature that brings parity)
  13. I have now confirmed that laptop is on holiday for 28 days while they put a new ATI gfx card on the board.

    I use the laptop for both servers and clients on VOIP

    Sorry to be a bit bossy at times (I was the fire troller, had done that trial twice before), also sorry about making the trial go invincible on us But all in all, we got our [censored] sorted and started doing it right, in the end. Good thing some of us saved our wakies

    Felz

    [/ QUOTE ]Lessons I learnt from that trial :-

    1) Emp Defenders are rubbish at taking tentacles' alpha strikes.
    2) Stay close to Suicidal Tank with particle cannon, almost gained a lot of healing points from that.
    3) Sort out tactics with an hour to go, not 15 minutes.
    4) Use purples when locked on with particle cannon.
    5) If do this again with Cepheus, then a respec will be needed as superspeed useless in there, and fell countless times.
    6) Shame there is no badge for resurrecting people!

    But... to reliterate Jay's points. The ITF was fun.... but the sewer trial was so much more fun... even on Invincible, especially when only I was getting XP.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Rezzing people counts towards the healing badge, I know I got one on my defender with no heal power in my tray

    Architect as well, like the new powersets, including the much requested “Villainous Version of Empathy” called Pain Domination

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This is great news, as for the rest meh not botherd tbh

    [/ QUOTE ]

    So one half-new power set is all that you're loooking forward to?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yep that sums it up,

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Villain Patron Respecs was my high point, and I suddenly feel alone in that
  17. I wont have my laptop back so probably wont have skype, TS or Vent........... stupid laptop
  18. So far i've built for AoE damage and enough survivability to keep me alive. My Elec/Fire was in a duo so had taunt to keep my corr alive too, which helped me too but generally I dont think of tanking most of the time with brutes. On a big team I will try and tank AVs for them but its not really my role, if it was I would have tank values not scrapper ones. I play to brute, which is build fury and kill stuff.

    That's about my opinion
  19. Aye, if the sonic doesn't show the second Kin would be good I think.

    Its terrible how few sonic defenders there are really.

    I guess the other option is take the 4 darks, have 2 rads as well and go all out debuff but that's probably not that great against level 54 AVs............ we'll see what we get on the day I guess
  20. I thought run through it, defeat mobs, get recipe, sell for lots of inf............ or did you mean more in depth? Well I was hoping for the two FFs to keep us def capped and status protected, the darks to heal bubble and just about survive every fight by the skin of my teath
  21. It applies for Endurance Reduction too
  22. A dancer with Shoe Envy? Seems quite plausible to me
  23. Aye, should be good fun, with any luck it might even be successful
  24. I think Xemulas FF/Psi cant make it and am not 100% sure on DB (who is??!) so we might be after that FF of yours if that's alright
