    They had to have some identifying mark, since women don't get goatees.

    There is no official word except that there will be a patch tomorrow.
    People are guessing/assuming/hoping the market fix is included.
  3. It's not a hard fight if you have mez protection and wait for your opening.

    He hit me with the special attack ONCE. After that I just kept hitting him with very short animation attacks until I got the warning. Move back, the attack goes off, move in and unload with the big attacks while it's recharging.
    Rinse and repeat.

    From the animations, I think he has Energy Melee, which is loaded with stuns.

    Right off, I see a problem. Unless I'm mistaken, disassembling the laptop will generally void your warranty. Certainly, the last couple that I've owned had stickers covering key screws with a warning to that effect.

    Having said that, yes, you can get an external hard drive enclosure. They're dirt cheap since it's just a case, a small circuit board and some connectors.
  5. Objectively, it would seem that one maintenance a week is sufficient. If it were not, we would be seeing overall degradation in performance as we reach Tuesday and Wednesday.

    And the problem I'm having with that is that those new to Scrappers that are bombarded with this way of thinking might be persuaded against other sets that they might enjoy.
    Just ask them two questions.
    1) Do you have a favorite food?
    2) Would you like to eat it three meals a day, every day?

    I believe it was BAB who reported "I heard Positron say....", so it was second-hand and hearsay.
    It was subsequently posted that it had been a misinterpretation.

    It's going to be a serious challenge, with the mitos currently bugged.
  9. It's a bug. The red markers aren't supposed to show up except when you're almost done and presumably might have trouble finding the last enemy.
  10. Cool name. My VG is named 'Shadows of Set'. Amusingly, I got it by buying it.
  11. If it was blueside, I'd give you one.
    But I'm poor (relatively) redside.

    I don't think the usage of global channels has changed much.
    As for coalition, I always disliked it since you would often end up seeing only half of a conversation. I avoid that channel and always have. (i.e. I have it displayed, but I never use it.)

    (shrug) If you've been here that long, then your memory is poor. There have been WAY worse issue releases.

    (So far - the servers could all go kerflooey tomorrow.)

    NOOOooooooo.
    Actually, I think an entire issue devoted to bases is entirely reasonable.
    Because.... I classify 'personal apartments' under 'bases'. If we get base improvements along with personal apartments, that would have widespread player appeal - EVERYONE can get one. EVERYONE can be a base builder.

    Sure, but not all of us. I'm patient and... um.... okay, I'm lying. It took me two days because I got home from work late the first day.

    Actually, they said that was a mistaken impression. It was never the policy and the belief was based on a misunderstanding.

    Yeah, I know someone who has it both redside and blueside.

    The devs have stated plainly, publicly and officially that asking for the badge has no effect on your odds of getting it. Furthermore, it was stated that this was a myth - it was NEVER official position.
  20. I would expect it to be "immediate" just like when you change the inactive demotion days in an SG. I put the word 'immediate' in quotes since it can take a couple of minutes.

    That's my expectation since the command would be bloody well useless if it didn't work that way.
  21. No need to apologize.
    It if happens again, take a screenshot and post it so the devs can see it.

    Other people have already posted where you went wrong here.
    However, shouldn't common sense have told you that something was amiss in your calculations? 100% reduction would = zero recharge time. What if you had Hasten for 160% reduction?

    FYI, endurance reduction works the same way. 100% reduction means your endurance cost is reduced by HALF, not 100%.
  23. I know there's a hero named 'Local Man'. He must be pretty famous - I read about him in the papers all the time.

    This is 'Player Questions'. There is a section for reporting bugs.

    Tip for you: When people ask for more info, it's because they WANT to help.
    If you can't get more details, saying so politely is enough. Getting in their face doesn't help anyone.
