  1. Before I dump 30 HM's on a Glad Armor 3% Def PvPIO, I will always get the benefit of the 3% Def regardless of what level I get exemped to, right?

    According the the wiki, yes:

    "This enhancement functions as a set bonus and is always on, even if in a toggle that is turned off or even if the power is greyed out because of exemplaring. However, the bonus of this Special IO is turned off if one exemplars more than three levels below the level of the Special IO itself, unless it's from a PvP Set, in which case, level doesn't matter and it will always work."

    Usually, I trust the wiki, but, hey, it's been wrong before.....
  2. I think the original Superman: the Movie should be on that list before Superman II. Not necessarily b/c it's a better movie (I think it was, but I can see why others would prefer Superman II). But b/c of what it was: Superman: the Movie was the first real superhero movie that was meant to be taken seriously by the general movie-going audience, not just kids. It was the first superhero developed from the ground up with the intention of being a summer blockbuster.
  3. I will also be "bringing somebody" (tm).

    My current leveling project (Magius Aegis, Ill/Storm troller) is only 35, not sure if I can get him to 38 by Saturday. Otherwise, I'll bring Statesdude, Eng/WP brute, about level 42.

    Kids, let this be a lesson. This is what happens when you're part of a successful franchise and then you decide to say "never again" and walk away. Then you get stuck doing dreck like "Zardoz."
  5. I'll be there with GATE-keeper, Inv/SS tank.
  6. That sure is a remarkable resemblance.....

    I'm really sorry to hear this, MsC. I know that dealing with a critically ill loved one can be a very trying experience. I pray that she will find peace and that you and the rest of your family find the strength to carry on.

    Thanks for making Saturday afternoons and enjoyable experience. Best wishes and kind regards.
  10. The OP's board name is Amish Justice.

    How bad could the generic'd toon's name have been?

  12. Thanks Ms Mesmer and Snow Globe!

    I'm at about 770 or so now, so a 1000 or so seems doable.
  13. OK, so if I never switch sides, about how many badges can I get on blueside?

    Just a ball-park figure, doesn't need to be carried out to the third decimal place

    I started June 2006, so don't include any event badges before then (although I do have Reveler, not sure how).
  14. I'll bring my main: GATE-keeper, Inv/SS tank. That is, if we're still doing it.

    So you promise them a tank, but then show up with a bubbler?

    DEVIOUS! I'll have to try that sometime......

    Weird BAF's!!!

People who seem to be afraid of some debt from the towers at level 50, for whatever reason, running around and dragging the AVs with them. We almost recovered but then dropped Siege down way too fast, so he died while Nightstar was still at 6%, so we missed getting her down in time, and he respawned. This was a normal run, no fancy Separated attempts, no specific instructions to go after Strong and Pretty, even. It was just disorganized at a level that I haven't seen in weeks.
    To be fair to the leader, on that run, the Gold Star changed hands once we zoned in, so he probably didn't speak up because he thought that he wasn't in charge anymore.

    Edit: is the league star changing hands a bug or WAI?
  17. I'm just the opposite, I think of a really cool name, then rack my brains trying to think of an AT and powersets that fit, sometimes trying several different combinations til I get one I like.

    Anita Hero (get it? "I need a hero!") eventually became an Eng/WP tank.

    Brawn Star (get it? Bronze Star, a military medal) started as as SS/Inv brute in Praetoria. He kinda stalled in the mid-teens. I like the name, I just gotta find something more appealing to me than SS/Inv.

    Agent Uh Oh Seven, is - obviously - a DP blaster. A very clumsy DP blaster. I just can't think what secondary to use. Devices is too obvious.

    Tough hide..?

    Yeah, Unyeilding's -5% was eliminated during the recent Invuln rebuild, however, that 5% was taken from Invinc, so it's a wash. (However, since you get Uny at Level 8 and Invinc at level 18, that extra 5% during those levels makes a huge difference.)

    As to the statement that TH is just as good as Weave, Weave provides +Def to All (including positional), TH provides +Def to all but Psionics (not including positional). But TH more than makes up for that by being auto and endurance free.
  19. I'll bring either Magius Aegis (Ill/Storm troller) or Statesdude (Energy/WP brute).
  20. Here's something interesting that happened on an Infinity BAF run last night (well, some time betweeen midnight and 12:30 am this morning EDT):

    We were in the "Fight Seige and Nightstar together" stage. We were fighting them at the add spawn point. Normal lag, powers executing 5 seconds after clicking them, standing around looking like statues, etc.

    So Seige decides to jump over the wall into the water.

    Not sure why, I think one of the other tanks had probably tried to fly away after his second Sequester warning, and probably got shot down by the GodLaser and fell into the water. I couldn't tell b/c I was on the other side of the building waiting for at least one of MY sequester rings to go away, came back in time to see Seige jump over the wall into the water.

    So a few of us tanks taunted Seige back over the wall and back beside Nightstar so we could continue the fight.

    But that's not the interesting part. Here's the interesting part:

    The lag cleared up some time during that whole episode and did not come back even when we got Seige back to the add spawn point. Same number of players, presumeably same number of powers, presumeably same number of pets.
