Quote:Egads man, we're practically like that original Trek episode with the two guys with the black & white faces!Originally Posted by Synapse
I do this exact thing myself. First row is healing, second is endurance, third is defense, fourth is damage fifth is 1 accuracy, 1 break free and 1 rez. I am super OCD about organizing it to the point it has gotten be defeated on nearly all of my characters on a fairly regular basis.
Another OCD thing I do is to make sure I never have more than 1 of each type of uncommon piece of salvage at a time. After playing a game since beta you develop some pretty difficult habits to break...
Synapse
Col 1: 3 reds, 1 break free on top
Col 2: 3 yellows, 1 bf
Col 3: 3 purples and a wakie
Col 4: 4 blues
Col 5: 4 greens
If you guys had really wanted me to keep & use oranges, you'd have introduced them to the game before my habits crystallized into OCD.
Oh, another "I still:" I still haven't made a character with Air Superiority. Yes I'm sure it's awesome, I'm just not interested.

Inspirations are organized in the tray based on color and size, with offensive to the left, defensive in the middle, and healing / awakens to the right. Larger Inspirations go at the top, so as to not accidentally use it. And for some reason, I would rather die then use a large Inspiration that may have saved my life. They tend to get saved for "that next big battle, which will be worse then this", even though a death now is just as bad as a death later. Only later I'll still have the Inspirations!
Inspirations are my one true OCD experience in this game.

I hang on to medium & large insps like they're somehow earning me interest.
Similarly, when soloing my Doms I tend to save Domination "for the next fight, you know, just in case."

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks!

Hey there,
So I got a copy of the Force Feedback +Rchg proc the other day. I really felt the entry for this item on ParagonWiki could be clearer. Is this IO worth putting into a char who uses a lot of KB/KD, like an SS or Axe Tanker or Brute?
Thanks.

Don't slot any heals as this does more harm than good

Hey there,
Simply enough, is there a "consensus" slotting of Protector Bots, both in common IOs and Set pieces? The boys are currently at Acc/2*Heal/DefBuff/2*Dmg, but I haven't given this character any deep thought, since, well, if I'm being honest, probably COV beta.

I've got 6 characters I identified as my "core" Incarnates, with another 2 "flying standby," in the sense that I'd like to get them going if the rest are up to speed.
The tally so far is 3 of those 6 with 1 Common boost each, and the standbys are most definitely standing by.
Gonna be a while before "extra shards" enters my vocabulary...

Quote:I suspect it's simply a function of Trappy doing something new/different. To the best of my recollection, no mob before this ever pulled that bifurcation trick.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
I did this with my Mastermind. Defeated him in 6-7 mintues on my first try. Used 3 green small inspirations I picked up along the way. Not because I needed to, but because respawning pets is a pain.
This whole "How do we destroy Superman?" council on Trapdoor is weird to me. Are Masterminds that much stronger?

Quote:That "one power" could just as easily have been Unyielding, or Char, or Tesla Cage. Know what your strengths are, and play into them, and most anything makes the "painful slog > joke" transformation.Originally Posted by Shubbie
The problem is the soloability of this can be dependant on as little as one power choice.
In this case water spout completly and utterly nullified the Eb's.
What in the heck is that? One power turns this from a painful slog to a joke.

Quote:Sorry, I'm in the other camp of this one. I'm all for "finding a way," but that mission missed the exit for "a little too much" quite a ways back up the road...Originally Posted by Sapphic_Neko
I'm in mourning...
My favorite tip mission is destroyed and turned into the most boring one ever.
Malta gunslinger action figure.
The waves were spaced out over an eternity and half!
They used to overlap so nicely, it used to be mad, crazy and stupid fun.
Now it's just a boring snoozefest... They've respeccified it ><

There are indeed some with that message, but clearly there are others that realize the rest of us are simply fools or idiots, or both.
Also, welcome back to Paragon City.

All the elites here that have done this encounter four hundred times with new 50's zero IO can make sure to put me on your "no group" list, because I clearly suck and would hate to spoil your fun by ever grouping with someone as skilled as you are.

I really dig the new snipe animation for Zapp, as well as the change to the two single-target blasts.

Quote:Thanks for the update, and thanks VERY much for the work you folks put into this.Originally Posted by Diellan_
We're QAing right now, and once it passes, we'll release version 1.9 of Mids' - it should be ready before the end of the week. It won't have the Alpha Slot available yet, I'm afraid that'll have to wait for 1.9.1 which will take a couple more weeks.
-Gate -
Clearly we need working phone booths.

Also, I don't recall hearing this: will this release support Alpha enhancement?

Quote:My Elec Blaster was able to use breakfrees to great effect. Gotta stop using those made-in-China ones that are full of melamine.Originally Posted by Shubbie
Now if you are vulnerable to his weakness, not having mez protection, he shoots right through acro and breakfrees for whatever reason to hold you anyway, he is darn near impossible.
But seriously, I wonder what the difference was. I tend to use only the med & large ones so they last longer; do they also have more magnitude?

Assuming that drop rate holds up as the sample size grows, very good news indeed.

Man, that is eight different kinds of awesome to hear. Now I just need to put together a few new builds to take advantage of it.

I had VS (aka Sparky) a million years ago on my elec blaster (I think my first-ever repsec was done for the purpose of ditching it). Back then I didn't appreciate how Sparky works. Now more than anything, it's a matter of not having room in my build for it.
I19 opens up the power choices I used to spend on the Fitness pool, but I simply do not have the slots to give these new powers. What I'm wondering is, can Sparky function as a One-Slot Wonder? If I just throw an Expedient Acc/Dam into it, I know it's not going to be a world-beater, but is it at all worth doing?
