    Or use the defeat emote that robots currently use, have a minor overload and collapse in a small shower of sparks.

    So that would be late-night Friday, right? I could do that.

    Praetorian Hamidon was outright SAID to be on the agenda by Prometheus after your character completes the UnderGround Trial. PraeHami is next.
  5. I was thinking of suggesting to Synapse that when we respec next the inherent fitness come pre-baked with 2 extra slots in stamina and 1 in Health (and maybe pre-baking slots into the nova/dwarf powers)

    Then I remembered that some people dont slot Numina/Miracle/Regen Tissue into health and I said "Nah".

    Fair enough - I just checked and it does indeed carry a smaller end crash than my nuke, Inferno.

It isn't the game - rather it is the gamma settings/contrast/brightness etc and even the environment's light level where the monitor sits.
    Fine - I'll bite and explain how my Light Sensitivity condition works.

    Ever had those drops put into your eyes for tests that cause your pupils to dilate? And how you need sunglasses to see normally for a few hours after that?

    Now imagine if someone's pupils were like that all the time. In my case, my pupils are slightly wider than normal - causing my eyes a great deal of discomfort. If I'm looking at something like Wikipedia that has a uniform white background, my eyes can compensate by dilating slightly - looking at it for extend periods causes discomfort, however.

    In the game, the issue is the DISPARITY between bright and dark - I can't just crank my gamma because while it makes bright graphics more tolerable, it makes dark environments impossible to see - this is why the environment in UGT sets me off - both dark and bright together is impossible to handle.

    EDIT: I'm going to try messing around with my CCC to see if I can work around the issue.

    You can't - hitting even a single target crashes your endurance by 100% - it was changed in i5 because people were using nukes for farming and they wanted to make sure no one ever took them again.

    One person doesn't set it off - it's when 4 or 5 people have it on. Also when some jerk colours Freezing Rain/Sleet bright white.

    It's -40% toxic resistance. 40*8 is 320, with Achilles Heel it's 340.

    Bio Armor!

    Also the stalker version of Genetic Contamination was still a toggle, not a click, it just traded the damage aura for a sleep.
    My bad. Missed the (Recharge: Fast) thing on the power.

    Actually come to think of it I might have to skip this power set - Running max Particle count gives me migraines due to Super Speed's obnoxious brightness.

    It predates it, but only by a single issue (Croatoa was i5 (end of August, 2005) and CoV was i6 (end of October, 2005)).
  14. I hope he'll show up soon. I really don't to have to stoop to doing Maria Jenkin's arc to get Multidimensional on my Brute.

    The RWZ arcs can help you if you were willing NOT to use them before that range. I've gotten 4+ bars from Gaussian's story arc bonus alone.

    Word of warning - Bio seemed like a middle ground between regen and will power (Even mix of clicks, toggles, and passives for the non-stalker version).

    Sister is getting a revamp in i23. We're probably getting a revamp of Synapse soon after that.

    I didn't think Striga or Croatoa were that bad...

    I was under the impression we were getting new pay-for sets every month or two so I'm betting one or more will be out before i24.

    Wait wasn't there that one movie where Superman posed as Batman so no one got suspicious when Bruce Wayne had been kidnapped (I *think* by Brainiac)?

    The 2B cap is a hard cap. It can't be increased, so we slammed into it last year until converters came out.
  22. If you're a scrapper, go with Resistance. If you're a Brute, go with HP. If you're a Tanker it's a coin-toss.

    On the other hand, if you're slotting Impervious Skin or Doctored Wounds, go with HP for all 3 - you only get around 1.5 SOs worth of Resistance, while Doctored can slam you right into the red zone of ED.
  23. It's there. You just have to look around - it's WAAAAY up in the sky - the sunlight causes the shadow to drift significantly.

This appears on instanced maps and open zones. The buffs on my character seem to affect the color/thickness of the line. Clarion in particular seems to make it exceptionally visible. The line is visible to other characters - not just on my client.
    Hmm... That explains why it showed up after my WS Nova formed after a nemesis invasion... I just thought it was hasten that did it.
