Ironblade

Yeah, I think that really irks some people. They can see that there is one for sale and they can almost feel it in their figurative hands. So they keep bidding higher and higher until they get it.

Only if it's an OPTION. I have a nice-looking arcane base and I don't want writing on my mystic scrolls.

None. I think Positron really needed it because it was the 'introductory' task force and it was pretty darn tedious. I think that, going forward, they should add new task forces, rather than revamping old ones - since it takes just as long.

Not really. I just upgraded to a 16:9 1920x1080 monitor and my card is a 7950GT. Not a wimpy card - when I bought it almost 4 years ago.

Yep. Even if you hold them in contempt, you have to look after them. Darkseid is worshipped as a god by his people. When his lackey Desaad denigrates them and says they are expendable and mere 'worms', Darkseid's response is: "Yes, but they are *MY* worms."
(One of my favorite lines in any comic.)

FYI, Combat Jumping and Ninja Run are mutually exclusive.

Regarding the build: the power selections look fine. I would change some of the slotting, notably:

Two slots in Hurdle and two in Combat Jumping but OMG OMG OMG you're underslotting Foot Stomp. Foot Stomp is an awesome power. You want to be hitting ED limits on damage and recharge and then have high accuracy and some end reduction in there also.

Why do you have the Numina, Miracle and Regen Tissue uniques in a power you won't get until level 47? You can put them in Health and have a couple dozen extra levels of enjoyment with them.

So we should all respond to the UI comments with "Thank you, sir! May I have another?"

Actually, the old Positron TF was worth 66 merits.

And the new total of 26 does seem extremely low to me. The 15 number seems a little low but that 11 seems way out of whack since it consistently has taken me just as long to do Part 1 as Part 2 (generally about 1 hour).

A controller can take the Psionic Mastery epic and get Indomitable Will. It gives mag 10 protection vs stun, sleep, hold, confuse, terrorize. The down side is that it lasts 90 seconds and has a 6 minute recharge.

It might lose bladder control while laughing at that video card. The 5450 is grossly underpowered for this game. The rest of the hardware looks great.

Oh, get a freaking clue ALREADY! Your comparison is moronic.

In the case of an exploit, they know exactly where the problem is and what needs to be changed. In the case of crashing (or bugs), first they have FIND the problem.

Criticizing them for Virtue having ongoing problems is valid.
Saying that they should change their priorities and fix it now just makes you sound clueless.

See, this is what is confusing us. There's an entire city and surrounding area (the 'NY Metro Area') full of people who go INTO MANHATTAN for dining/entertainment/etc. People come from all over the world to go there. We're puzzled why you would come to NY and then avoid Manhattan. That's where all the cool stuff is. The other boroughs are overwhelmingly residential, plus a decent shot of industrial.

Assuming this isn't a money issue (staying in Manhattan is definitely more expensive), why would you want to stay elsewhere? It just seems like you're going to waste a lot of time traveling back and forth.

Anyway, assuming you'd like to minimize travel time, are your relatives near the PATH Train? Long Island Railroad? Metro North? As previously stated, driving in and out of Manhattan is really sub-optimal.

Sure, but that's to be expected. It's human nature. Therefore, a certain level of complaining is flat-out IGNORED at all times. Besides, if they never changed anything, people would complain about that.

Okay, right off, you need to get your terminology right so we're all on the same page. Super Strength is your SECONDARY. Unless, of course, you're talking about a BRUTE. As a tank, your attack set is your secondary. Your armor set is your primary.


Next terminology issue. Do you actually mean 'defense', which is a game mechanic that make you get hit less, or are you using the word in a generic sense to mean a tank that is very hard to defeat? If so, use another word since 'defense' has a specific/technical meaning in this game.

Invuln is a very tough set. The lack of psi resistance is trivial. Regen and self heals (like Dull Pain) make up for it and have allowed me to tank psionic AV's and entire missions of psi enemies (like the Praetorian asylum mission).

If you're really worried about psionic damage, pick a set with a good self heal and/or take Aid Self. Dark armor gets good psi resistance and the biggest self-heal in the game. My suggestion, though, would be to build for the other 97% of the game and not worry about psi.

P.S. I don't use Mids so I can't post a build but my invuln has Tough and Aid Self and is stupid-tough.

You probably had 3 defenders on the team to keep you alive.
Because we all know that dark armor sucks.

I keep hearing this but I don't get it. In order to see all my slots, I had to scroll from side to side. I PREFER the tabbed interface because it lets me see a summary of all slots plus the category with which I'm currently working.


Yes, that's a bug. It has the option to permanently suppress the warnings, both on the pop-up and in the options menu, but it does not work.

I'm sure they're aware of this thread (and others) but we have no way of knowing just how much 'discord' there really is. As I noted in another thread, every major change will make someone quit. And every major system that doesn't get changed fast enough to suit someone, will make someone else quit.

I agree the new market UI has problems, but it has had zero effect on how much I use the market. I'm well into the process of IO'ing one toon and just starting another. The toons I use to marketeer are still marketeering.

The two main flavors of comments that I'm seeing are as follows:
1) The new system is horrible - just roll it back to the old one.
2) The new system fixed some things but broke others - we need a second round of fixes.

I agree with position 2. Regarding position 1, I say "HELL NO!" I never want to go back to the old interface. It stank.

Batting .500.
Yes, the Hollows is an exception.
However, Faultline is an exception to your second line. It *DID* get an exploration accolade but did *NOT* get new badges. Thus, a number of my characters got Faultline Finder upon login.

Footnote: Your healing progress is *NOT* the green numbers over the critters heads. The actual badge progress is approximately 10% of the value.

No. 90% resistance stops 90% of the damage.
This is why AV's who have resistance of 100% and higher are bad.
