    Yes, well, can't be too picky....probably about 8-10 left that actually care about the badge...maybe I'm wrong though!

They could do some even more complex things than that but what I'm getting at is that I don't think the designers would find this to be a problem that is worth the kind of programming investment that a solution would require.


    That'd be nice!


    And as others have said, this is "working as intended". I think it should be looked at but, again, not really the biggest issue to worry about.

    Ah okay...I don't remember it in the comics but...*shrugs*

    Thanks for the response
  4. Finally done with badges again!

    EI received the Triple Threat badge tonight (along with the MoMagisterium badge).

    Magey Mondays!

    Well we were that close to getting the RHW badge tonight....got Tyrant down to 15 health....but couldn't pull it off :| I think we just had some untimely deaths and people forgot to keep popping the Ultimate inspirations.


    We did, however, get the Triple Threat badge which got me (EI) the Master of badge for the Magisterium!


    EI is now 'done' again.....


    Next week is another RHW attempt and then we'll go for a diff. badge...Ready to Rumble for the 2nd attempt/run of the night!
  6. Hmm, might have to tweak a few things here and there but...it gives me some thoughts/ideas to look at! Thanks!
  7. So in preparation for i24 I'm thinking of respec'ing my main (EI) a Kinetics/Radiation Blast Defender.

    Right now he has mainly common IOs, a few SOs and some IO sets. He's "fine" as far as playing him but the main thing I want to do is get him Proton Volley and get 22% tohit for insta-snipe.

    So should I go for melee def (s/l def?), more recharge? hmm...

    Here's the list of powers I have (or plan on having):

    Out of those 3 I would like to keep IR...just one of those powers that I'm used to having now

    Thoughts?
  8. I wish Desdemona would be tp'ed by/with Incandescence :|


    I have Incan. on my Grav/Therm controller but really only for thematic reasons. It's a nice destiny power but...again, not much use for it aside from Keyes AtGS badge runs....maybe TPN too.

    UG would be nice to use in but again; Des doesn't get tp'ed by it so...not good


    I do like Incan because it allows me to heal my Singy pet though

    Magey Mondays!

    Just a reminder for tom. night's run, be there and bring your +3s for a RHW attempt!
  10. Well hello again


    I'm working day shift (9am-7pm for one more week then 9am-6pm EST) so I should usually be on in the nights.

    If you got good at it, you could do the lvl 40-45 (45-50?) RWZ arc "The Strange Case of Benjamin Decker" to farm the ouro badges.


    I know that's the one I used to farm the badges on EI. The arc takes about 5 minutes...depends on how bad the rescue AI is on the first mission.
  12. Alright well I'm done making any more puns. Everything has its season and mine is up, I'm now going to hibernate and hope for a new power set to pine for!

    I don't see a pun in here....so please leaf.




    Edit:


    puns are srs bsns
  16. Is this an olive branch that's extended to the player base for not releasing this new power set earlier?






    >_>



    What?

    What I think he's saying is, "who needs a kin when I have inspirations out the wazoo full of reds?"

    All the bonus of +dmg without needing a kin.

    By itself it won't do much, but when you stock up on inspirations... That is, spend ten seconds to buy 20 small lucks to your contact before heading into a mission with an AV, and consume 3 or 4 at a time... This significant healing + damage debuff starts to stack pretty well.
    ...

    Yeah I guess I could try to solo a lvl 50 AV at some point. I know just from being in teams when fighting AVs I'm usually using:

    Siphon Speed
    Siphon Power
    Fulcrum Shift
    Transfusion
    Siphon Power
    Transference


    etc, etc....so with kin being so active in debuffing it's hard for me to actually attack

    It is your fault! Why didn't you bother to pester the devs for it to be changed more?!

    ....

    Hmm, I don't think my main (kin/rad def) can take down an AV by himself. Then again I don't really care to try. Maybe with the i24 changes and insta-snipe I could have more DPS but...*shrugs*


    I mainly have common IOs in him too...although he has a few -res procs in some powers and maybe 1 or 2 sets.


    I mean, I guess any toon can take down an AV once they have Barrier, Lore pets and all the other incarnate powers + stocking up on inspirations.


    I don't know what I'm getting to here....

    Thanks


    To be honest though I don't see the issue with kins/FS. If your team wants more damage bring a kin.

    If your team wants defense, bring an FF or Cold, etc, etc....


    Playing as a kin for 8+ years...we can definitely still die and although I will say if "you're a good kin" your team shouldn't have issues but I know that's not true.
  22. Hmm, the sale on the IO and auction house peeks my interest (if only for my 2nd acct)....

  24. There were no badges associated with the event correct?


    I missed last night on Liberty so....my OCD badge completionist has kicked in and wanted to verify if I have to swap to another server or not
