    Perhaps as an April Fooling. My money is on the 27th; the last Tuesday of April.

    It's like Teleport, except take your nearby Allies(within 30 feet)with you; and it's range is 25 feet.

    I could, although it would invalidate someone else's entry if they happen to think of the same idea; and kill the spirit of Rule 7. Best I can do, is joke about it

    So what do all of my fellow Blasters think of this?
    I think it stinks. It really stopped the Blaster-squishiness. I'm more upset, by how much I spent to get the set on many a toon; it feels like a bait-and-switch.
    I never used to Slot SS or SJ, and did so because of BotZ. Despite it all, it's still a decent set, and certainly better than any of the Running, Leaping, Flight and Teleport sets.

    For the second, perhaps a Sonic/DP Defender? Use the Steampunk Armor(with Piston boots, they're rather Steamy-punk). The Armor collects the echo from all the gunshots, and shapes it to new purpose.

    S2. How can I change ranks for toons already in the SG? Some of them are due for promotion, but it won't let me change their rank unless they are logged in?
    You cannot. I believe it is this way to prevent malicious demoting, or absconding or SG's.

    Quote:
    S3. Is there any base item I can buy to allow community storage of recipes?
    Not in base. The best you can do is place them on the market, but DO NOT POST them.

    M1. If I outlevel a story arc, will I still get the XPs for it if I go to Oro and 'flashback' it?
    Yes. If you do not wish to, you can disable XP--or disable it just for exemping--under Options.

    Quote:
    M2. Where the heck is Jane Halloway (contact for 24 respec trial)? I checked vidiotmaps website and found where she should be in IP, but I couldn't find her in-game.
    She's on the North end of the Bridge. She'll have a colored circle at her feet(as all contacts now do).

    Quote:
    M3. Is the level 24 respec trial soloable? Are there multiple bombs to defuse that must be done simultaneously? How do trials scale for level/# of players?
    Not really, there are just too many enemies to deal with in the reactor. (Still, I haven't heard all anecdotes, so it might be possible)

    Quote:
    M4. What task forces are soloable?
    Most of the Ouroboros Tfs can be started solo. The fall of the 5th Column I have soloed. The one with Manticore going Rogue? Not a chance. The current Posi, yes; but that might change with i17(having not seem the new one)

    Quote:
    O1. How often do they have double XP weekend? When's the next one?
    They do not seem to announce these as far ahead as they used to. They announce them in the Dev/Community Digests.

    Quote:
    O2. How is the best way to find a group? I've put my LFG flag on but haven't rec'd any invites except during a Rikti raid.
    Makes friends, and be social. The best way, I've found. Also, make sure you are not hidden(/unhide_all)!

    Quote:
    O3. Why are the hazard zones always empty? Don't people ever group to clear them for fast leveling anymore?
    Not so much since Mission Architect became available. I still see Sewer teams form in Atlas sometimes. I believe the Hollows gets more love since War Witch revamped it. Cimerora and especially the Rikti War Zone attract players.

    For awhile the proc wouldn't function on pets under level 50. As a level 50 Mastermind summons Minions and Lt's at level 48 and 49 respectably--the proc wouldn't work on them. However, the proc has supposedly been fixed for awhile now.

    EMpulse and I both agreed that Derangedpolygot should win this round, we hope you concur.

    Congratulations Derangedpolygot! PM me with your choice of costume code and I'll send it straight back!
    I concur, but I'm biased

    Thanks again!

    Could be because it creates a pseudo-pet

    Between a lack of rum, lack of ships and a Teen Rating; the Pirates models--in defiance to the very game code itself--lack sufficient substance and drop dead.

    (I told ya we should have focused on Thugs!)

    If I am a winner, I permit NC Interactive, Inc. and NCsoft Europe Limited to use my name, likeness, photograph, hometown, and any comments that I may make about myself or this contest that I provide for advertising and promotional activities.

    So even Soulbound Allegiance: Chance for Build up proc is of no use for VS?

    Voltaic Sentinel

    POST-ACTION

    One cannot target or directly buff a Voltaic Sentinel. I have some questions regarding this:

    1) Can powers that indirectly buff effect VS? (i.e. Assault, Tactics)

    2) Can self effecting powers buff VS? (i.e. Soulbound Allegiance: Chance for Build Up)

    Any information would be much appreciated.

    I find they are all worth taking now(although, I took them before, but didn't slot beyond 1 slot). There base res is 10% instead of 7.5%, but I tend not to slot them heavily:

    RPD: 1 slot, Steadfast Protection Res/Def

    Resist Elements: 2 slots, Aegis Resistance & Aegis Psi/Status resistance

    Resist Energy: 2 slots, Impervium Armor Resistance & Impervium Armor Psi Resist

    Oh, and Tough Hide(always considered this worth taking, even better with DDR): 2 slots, LoTG Defense & LoTG Def/Global Recharge

    Keep in mind we've gotten Pistols early. They were meant to launch with Going Rogue. As such, it is likely that more is coming once GR goes live. Also, as with any weapon customization, they can always add more as ideas crop up.

    I think I've died about 10 times in two days during the nuke animation. Many more times I've finished the animation desperately trying to eat a green or purple. Maybe it's because I'm on villain side where no one seems to much bother taking point or dealing with aggro. Anyone else having this issue? Still like the set overall, but trying to get my head around the nuke.
    Actually, no. Although my character is a DP/Dev Blaster. Cloaking Device prevents agro until I am in the enemies' midst(I often open with Hail of Bullets). Also, very few minions/lieutenants survive the assault.
