Got it. You have decided that you're not going to unlock the alpha slot on some of your 50's, therefore you're going to strip and delete them. They're your characters so you can do whatever you want with them. Not seeing a problem here.

Tedious and unfun are pure opinion. My opinion is different. 'Unfair' is, flat out, BS.

They could say it today and it would still be true.
You can absolutely do Ramiel's arc with SO's.
You can also do the Apex and Tin Mage TF's with SO's.

Well, ya know, it doesn't matter if it seems like griefing to you.
Also, the OP said he was getting attacked each time he had a code. If it was taking him more than 5 minutes, then the 'ganker' was indeed getting a rep reward and possible drops each time. Even if it wasn't more than 5 minutes, he was STILL getting a reward - the code.

Sure there is.
But killing someone is, by definition, the purpose of the zone and not in any way griefing.

The devs should do nothing.
If you don't want to risk getting attacked, stay out of the PvP zones.
If you want those badges, you risk being attacked.
Deal.

They are two different people. You know, like on the original Star Trek series - Spock was similar in both dimensions (and had the uber goatee) but Kirk was dramatically different. The alternate universe version was a nut job.

(Not to be confused with the episode where Kirk was split into good and evil halves by the Transporter. )

Weird. My base has two. We had the Ley Tap but I had to add the Dimensional Vortex simply because it's the coolest looking base item. I kept the Ley Tap because it irked me to delete a crafted item. They are in separate rooms.

If it's an 'exploit' in their heads, it won't be in the patch notes.

What, what? Winter happens EVERY YEAR. What was your point?

As the system currently exists, NO ONE can ever get that gladiator if they were not around for the 1st and 2nd anniversary events. It's not just villains - it's about being here 'way back when'.

Personally, I don't like it. I think a much fairer way would be to have the gladiator linked to *ANY* two anniversary badges. This way, new players could still get it. It would just take a while.

As for the anniversary badges, I don't think those should ever be available again. It makes no sense. Halloween and Christmas come every year, but you're only 16 once.

Yep, I was on a team with someone who did this - ONCE. I've only seen it done once. I should have taken a screenshot. Hami was... maybe 80-100 feet outside the goo.

Nope, that's not a problem with the theory at all. My contention is that, while the pylons are up, you can be as close as the innermost mito and not get attacked. When the last pylon goes down, people are currently outside the goo, at the pylon.

As for this, "He does nothing until attacked.", that is not my experience. Maybe we had bad luck, maybe something got changed at some point, I dunno. But I've seen people get blasted while taking down the mitos - if the pylons are gone. I've only ONCE seen Hami attack someone while taking out the mitos with the pylons up, and it was because someone lagged and physically bumped right into him.

My observations are entirely consistent with a change in aggro range. Now, it's entirely possible that I'm misinterpreting what I saw. Lord knows we had 20 different theories about how supergroup promotions worked, all based on peoples personal observations.

Actually, there is neither a population problem, nor too many servers.
I guess you are just too easily amazed.

I don't believe that to be the case.

Dunno about other people, but I never said that you did. I just said that leaving the pylons up seems to help. Most of the time, we don't bother. Who cares if a few people die? As long as it's not a Master attempt....

Because that pack has the sweetest costume parts out of all of them.

Yeah...... did you perhaps mean Atlas Park and Fort Trident?

I believe it does have a basis in reality. I have been on many runs where the pylons were left until AFTER the mitos were defeated that had ZERO deaths. The only time I can remember someone dying with the pylons left up was when a player lagged (he advised this afterward) and literally ran smack into Hami. Hami attacked and killed him.

What I've heard, and which my personal observations support, is that leaving the pylons up reduces Hami's AGGRO RANGE. He will completely ignore all players as long as they don't get closer than the innermost mitos.


I can't 100% prove squat. I can only repeat what I was told (by a recognized expert, top badge-hunter and global channel op on my server) and that my personal experience so far supports it completely.

Now, I could certainly have my perceptions biased by expectations. I'm just saying what I've seen on multiple occasions, but the plural of anecdote is not data. I have no proof.

The word should be "they're".

FEAR ME!!!!

I know, right? All the servers showing medium or heavy load every night is OBVIOUSLY a sign that the game is dying.

My MA/SR is only 43 so I can't speak from experience. My MA/SR is built for crazy recharge, though, so I would just beat him down fast. That tactic worked fine for my BS/regen. He managed to get one bifurcation up, then died. (Okay, not die. He 'gave up' and I had to talk to him.)

If you can't beat him down that quickly, any scrapper should do enough damage to smack down each duplicate as it appears then go back to smacking Trapdoor.

P.S. "Pogoman, Master of Kick-Fu" Cool title. My MA/SR has a battle cry that says, "Taste my boots!"
