    You can never have too much END. I have characters who are able to slot two Performance Shifter procs. At worst, having 'too much' END will give you some defense against enemies that drain END. At best, you can go for extra recharge and improve character performance across the board.

    Oh, hell no. My dark/dark tank runs 10 toggles. Even my Mastermind can't get by with just fully slotting Stamina. He runs Assault, Maneuvers, Tactics and Dispersion Bubble while shooting more often than his pets.

    The best slotting for Stamina (for most characters, in MY opinion) is 4 slots - 3 endurance modification and the Performance Shifter +END IO. Now, the good.... no, the OUTSTANDING feature of Invention Origin enhancements is that they will get you the same accuracy and damage you had with SO's, but also adding additional enhancement like extra recharge and endurance reduction. Start by slotting IO's in the powers you use most often. Adding 30-40% endurance reduction without reducing other enhancement categories is easy and will have a major impact on the characters performance.

    Unless you were willing to transfer a character to carry them.
    With one free transfer per month coming 'soon', that's not as onerous as it might have been in the past.

    I think you misread something. Hyper is saying that Nov 2004 was the first time that it became true that not everything is included in the subscription fee. Going Rogue would simply be one more example.
  6. I recall something like this years ago and think it has to do with the window scale setting. I think it was the badge window I was having problems with. Unfortunately, I can't remember if I did something to fix it, or if it was a bug and got fixed by the devs.

    You said you've tried resizing the window. Have you tried undocking it? (i.e. detaching it from the chat window)

    Of course we have healers. Just like you call someone who smokes a smoker. It doesn't mean smoking is their career, or they do it all day long. It just means they do it, compared to others who don't.
  8. And it's almost 5:30 and I just saw this.
    Logging in now.
  9. We've done the two level 45+ task forces. Next up: the two level 50 task forces. Since Tin Mage is the Weekly Strike Target for this week, we'll be doing this one next. (With Apex the following week.)

    The contact is in Rikti War Zone and this is a co-op task force so all alignments can join. Please remember that you need to have your Alpha slot unlocked AND SLOTTED in order to avoid operating at -4 levels. Even 1st Tier slotting will let you operate at normal level. Being level 46 would be bad since the enemies are all level 54.


    Saturday, July 30 at 1 PM EDT
    Tin Mage II TF
    Level 50
    Requires 8 players.

    1. Ironblade - likely a tank or debuffer
    2. Johnny Taxibot - blaster
    3. Sir Thorn - Green Diamond (blaster)
    4. Dr A Science - brute
    5. Simian Stalker - someone
    6.
    7.
    8.
  10. It's all relative . . . when it isn't outright BS.

    Data from the Department of Energy and other agencies show that the average poor family, as defined by Census officials:

    ● Lives in a home that is in good repair, not crowded, and equipped with air conditioning, clothes washer and dryer, and cable or satellite TV service.

    ● Prepares meals in a kitchen with a refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave as well as oven and stove.

    ● Enjoys two color TVs, a DVD player, VCR and — if children are there — an Xbox, PlayStation, or other video game system.

    ● Had enough money in the past year to meet essential needs, including adequate food and medical care.
    Article here.
    Yeah, according to the Census Bureau, the average "poor" family has two color TV's. Maybe 'middle class' really is $150,000 per year.
  11. You can always fall back on making transfers through the consignment house. That method has disappeared now that we can email, but it still works.

    Why don't you stop spouting such stupid BS - "doesn't change the FACT"? No, it's not a fact. It's your opinion. You're not the arbiter of truth and fact.

    It isn't the games fault if you turned it off or ignored it. That's all on you. So like I said you have no one to blame but yourself.
    No, it's a stupid design flaw. The consignment house checks to see if you have room available for items or influence. But the email system does not. Since we have an example where the game DOES check and protect you from mistakes, it is not unreasonable to expect it to do that consistently. It's sloppy design.

    Time to 50

    I couldn't tell you in hours because I don't check that. My fastest was probably my fire/kin since, once you get to around 30, you can solo progressively larger and larger spawns. Took me about 2 months, but with plenty of playing other characters in there.
  15. Hard to say without knowing what you already have. My first thought was Assault, but I'd guess you already have it.

    They shouldn't be. They're costume emotes, so they should be in the costume window (and they are). The other emotes are in the quickchat menu, like Ultimate Power.

AND I got those VERY NICE GameStop lvl 1 enhancements that my subsequent alts have enjoyed tremendously.
    And, if I read it correctly, those enhancements will become part of the vet rewards... excuse me... Paragon Rewards system.

    On the other hand, if you bought Going Rogue, you got a free month and 2 character slots so it's not like people will be getting the same benefit as those who actually paid for it. Still it would be nice to get something for it. Maybe give everyone who bought it ONE of the new powersets for free.

    Probably not in my case. I have every boxed edition and every booster pack.

    Wow.

    That might be 'middle class' in this forum, or on TheMarket channel.
    I think the average player would consider that as wealthy.
  22. Unfortunately, these badge shenanigans have never left us. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought the devs said that future 'Master of' badges would not involve a 'no deaths' requirement. Oh well.

    We currently have half of that. The difficulty settings ARE effective. On older TF's, I routinely run them above base difficulty.

    blah blah blah
    According to many people on here, it was never "available to any team size". You're just twisting words and redefining the situation to suit yourself. I'll refrain from dubbing you anything, though. I'm bigger than that.

    No one denies that for an instant. The server list illustrates it for us every time we log in. But no server is "dead".
