Holy crap, the Super Strength alternate animations are awesome. Definitely gonna be using the ground punch.

...but two billion is better.

Right now I think Dark Melee/Shield Defense (Scrapper) may be the most fun I've had with a character since my Super Strength/Electric Armor Brute.

For a long time we didn't have glove or boot options for 'Tights Sleek'.

I'm definitely down for this. I have a (currently) level 42 DM/SD Scrapper. I can bring a 50 (Tanker/Blaster/Scrapper) if you need it.

Definitely gonna be reading. I got a nice stack of books for my birthday.

Either that or getting my DM/SD to 50.

They put together some of the belts that had the same model. Those belt models have a drop-down menu that lets you select different variations. Trust me, it's still there.

My first redside 50 was an SS/Elec Brute. I managed to get there without Tough/Weave, but Aid Self is pretty much required.

Also funny, I just killed Scrapyard on my way to taking that shot. So I actually stopped to keep the working man down on the way to bragging about how rich I am.

Double style points, then.

That's another notch on the Excite-O-Meter.

'Captain! She kinnae take much more!'

Godspeed, Johnstone.

I have a Kat/Regen at 50 and a Claws/WP at 38 who's been stuck there for a couple of months. While it may be a strong set defensively, from the whole 'I'm playing a game to have fun' viewpoint it bores me to tears. Regen has much more strategic depth and demands much more attention in return for potentially higher levels of survivability.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I just want to take a second to thank you guys for being so positive and excited about this feature that's consumed so much of my life for so long. It's been a very long haul and tremendous amount of work from many people on the team. Your excitement about this feature is making it so much easier for me to continue to be excited about it, and that's making it a lot nicer to get through the final stretches of finishing this issue up and into your hands. I can't speak for the other people who've done a tremendous amount of work on this feature as well, but for me personally...it's a huge deal.

The handful of non-glowing responses I've seen have been very reasonable and more in the realm of disappointed but still understanding. For that I'm exceedingly grateful.

So thanks for staying positive and constructive, it makes reading the forums so much easier and working on this game so much more rewarding.

You're quite welcome BaBs. Know what'll be even more rewarding? Watching a Hami raid or mothership raid light up like an acid trip.

Heh.. i know extra +def is nice to have and all.. but being worth more than billion inf?

[/ QUOTE ]
I know I didn't think it was. I'll put in a bid and hope that somebody will list low enough that I'll be able to grap one up. I'm still willing to pay good ifn...just not 1 Bil worth of good.

[/ QUOTE ]
You'd be surprise what the difference is between softcapping and "nearly" softcapping a typed defensive build. I bought one for just under a billion and thought that was a bargain after seeing how well my scrapper performed. When the patch comes and this IO drops down to $400m, you can be sure I will have my bids in for multiples.

[/ QUOTE ]
In this case I'll be happy to remain blissfully ignorant of the difference in performance until the price comes down or I happen to have my bid fill. Right now, I'm only about 3 or 4% off of being softcapped on all my typed defense, and a double stacked Divine Avalanche keeps my melee capped so I'm good. I've downed a dozen or so AVs at this point and I've found that defense isn't something I want so much as it is more damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now there's an idea for a new global IO...

The additional difficulty settings might be just the 'something' you're looking for. If a single player can reliably take out 6-8 man spawns without any sort of XP/Inf/drop rate penalty, then the price of purples with certainly drop.

There's a third revenue source you didn't mention, however: the market itself.

Ninjutsu Scrappers
Dark Blast Blasters
Broadsword Tankers

Great post. Thanks for the info.

Thanks guys! Ya'll are the best!

Let's see.

Blackout Blaine, 50 SS/Elec Brute

Night Widow Lucretia, 39 Widow

Cpt. Tyranny, 36 SS/WP Brute

Fatal Foxglove, 6 Nin/Nin Stalker

Yeah, not much of a redside player, despite my propensity to solo.

I hate Boomtown.

Massive.

Boring.

Empty.

Made me think of this.

And this is a classic. (Warning: lots and lots of swearing)

I have no complaints about i16, but I'm also not creaming myself about it (which makes me officially the only player and forumite to be in that category, it seems). I'm very indifferent about it - I don't even care enough to complain.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL - no, I'm normally a very passionate person who speaks out about issues, particuarly game-related (maybe that's why I have so few entries on my friends list....). Just nothing about i16 'grabs me'. I shan't explain why, as I can't be bothered and everyone's all hyped up about it and I don't want to bring the mood down (after all the negativity that AE has generated on the forums the last thing I want is to bring the atmosphere down about something that seems to be bringing a lot of positivity to the forums).

I will say, on a positive note (not that it is i16 related) that as a massive MM fan I am very excited about Demon Summoning. Now THAT I could rave about at length like a little 1 month noob
