The 30 second timer is probably still going to apply to switching characters unless you force a re-log either by your method or by opening a second client in the background.
Wasn't it officially stated that the 30 second countdown was to prevent people from logging out to avoid defeat? -

I use facebook though
Dont think i'ld use a system like that though to be honest
None of my RL friends play this game
Plus there's players who I knew previously, like my brother, his wife..... -
Quote:How fortuitous that you should use the word "poor". IO'ing for regen, instead of defense, is CHEAP! Back in the day, I got my first tank (invuln) 300% regen for chump change and it made a huge difference in his survivability. I never went back and IO'ed for defense since I didn't see any point. He's tanked Lord Recluse in the STF so why does he need to be any tougher?Originally Posted by Call Me Awesome
Third, building for extra regen instead of soft capping defense is a very poor option. Taking your defense from the upper 30's to 45% will do far more for your survivability than boosting your regen by any amount you could practically manage on an Invuln tank.
Having said that, I agree that defense is better than regen - if you can afford it and fit it in the build. -
Quote:And, boy, did Positron look funny in those bearskins.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
Of the scant handful of TFs I've managed to run in my long career one of them was Positron. It was back in the dawn of time
Whoops! Wrong task force. The big robot is Babbage and he's in the Synapse TF.Quote:It wasn't a complete waste of time- the fight with that big robot at the end was fun, mainly because it was a surprise and we yelled for help and a bunch of other lowbies jogged over to help us put it down. -
They also show up in roving patrols in RV.

Now, I checked on some of those contributors...it seems some are no longer with the game (which amazes me because people around here claim the game isn't losing subscribers).
No, they don't. Even if we had the most loyal players in the world, we'd still lose subscribers as they die, if nothing else.
Now, some people claim that the subscriber numbers are not declining - which is completely different in meaning from your misstatement. -
Quote:You left out the Good vs Evil Jump Pack.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Real money options:
Mini-booster: Temporary 30 Day Jetpack $5, 30 real days unlimited flight power on all characters on the account.
Super Booster IV: Martial Arts grants Ninja Run, level 4 onward on all characters.
Good Vs Evil in-game pack (or if the account doesn't have it, the full GvE edition): Pocket D Teleport
I have taken multiple toons to 50 with either Combat Jumping & Hurdle or Ninja Run and that 30 second jump pack is invaluable. -

Quote:Since they intend (i.e. will force) it to be a week-long task, I figured more like 3-4 hours of stuff to do. I saw someone in another thread say 15 hours. I think you're fooling yourself if you think 30 minutes of play and one week of sitting on your hands will let you change sides.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Even if it took me 30 minutes per character to do it,
Oh, and whatever it turns out to be, double it since it's two steps (two arcs and enforced two week cooldown) to go all the way across. -

dont let it end
So everyone stop posting in this thread so that it can die.
Then we can burn it and bury the ashes in unhallowed ground. -
I removed the Logitech mouse driver and used the default in Windows.

I also buy movies and television shows that live on Amazon's servers. My tax information lives on Intuit's servers. The current craze is to offload everything into "the cloud."

Quote:If I don't get the IO by July, that will be just one more thing my 'mule' will have to carry over to redside.Originally Posted by Daemodand
I feel your pain. That's an IO almost everyone can use, so given the fail that is the BM, you have to burn the Merits or dish out top dollar and be willing to wait days if not weeks even for the buy it nao price.
-
But it's not simply a process of click a button then wait a week. You have to go through an arc to change alignment. Given the week cooldown, I'd expect the arc to be aiming for at least 3-4 hours of play. To run your 14 character conga line, you'd have to run a multi-hour arc EVERY DAY.
P.S. I'm guessing on the time, but they TOLD US it would be an arc. -
I find it as much fun as soloing anything else. (i.e. not tremendous fun - I'd rather be teaming.) But if I'm going to be playing alone, I might as well get some merits in the process. Conveniently, my main is /regen so, even before the exemping change, I had Quick Recovery by level 15. Also, Reconstruction gives toxic resistance.
-
um.. I'll bring someone. I'm sure I will have already gotten the badges for Ironblade by then. Dunno if my new tank will be high enough. Maybe I'll bring a warshade or sonic defender.

As for the costume change you're looking for, I'd suggest "encase" where the piece rapidly snap over the current costume, like super powered armor encasing each limb and then torso and head.

Quote:My guess would be:Originally Posted by Sermon
I am curious. Why not expand beyond 36 character slots per server? I know it is a lot already, but still, I have 24 slots full already ... and who knows that the future holds!
"hmm... do we need to look at allowing more than 36 slots per server?"
"I dunno. Datamine it and see how many people are full or almost full."
"Oh, hardly any. Never mind."
I think the vast majority of players have not even bought a single additional slot, let alone 2 dozen.
Also, I think a lot of people like myself hurt that metric. I have two accounts because there was no way to add slots (beyond 12) and I ran out a long time ago. Offhand, I think I have 33 characters on my home server. -

Really don't get your hopes up on that one. The devs have said, multiple times, that vehicles are not within the limits of the game engine to do well.Yeah, but if they could do the Prestige Power Slide, they could give us a sprint that looks like riding a skateboard.Quote:Originally Posted by ThePill
Oh, I know. I wouldn't expect a rocketbike ever. But, there's that part of me that still wants one.

Well, I don't use Mids either, so I have no easy way to post a build.
Some comments:
In my opinion, boosting your recharge for one power is a terrible waste. Shield has no click defensive powers (like Dull Pain, Hibernate, Dark Regen, etc) so recharge isn't the way to go.
(Disclosure: I have 35% global recharge. But I have it to help my attack chain. Most of my tanks skimp on attacks to bulk up their defenses.)
Take Combat Jumping. It adds defense to all positions/types for one power pick.
IO sets that are a shield tanks friend:
Obliteration: 3.75% melee def plus recharge, accuracy and damage. OMG OMG OMG!
Scirocco's Dervish: 3.13% AoE defense plus accuracy and regen.
Red Fortune: 2.5% range defense plus damage and recharge
Blessing of the Zephyr: range and AoE defense (1.25% and 1.875% respectively - new numbers as of Issue 17)
Getting a shield tank to the soft cap is EASY (as long as you take Combat Jumping, Weave and have the Steadfast +3% defense unique). Even after the Zephyr nerf, my guy will be at about 47% for all positions. -

All that down time means I can do marvelous things on the market, but basically cripples my merit potential.
I've done that over 30 times.

I think I'm the highest bidder in each category, but if someone else gets it, eh, who cares. Though I hope I do get it. Spending Merits on any of this would be...sad making.
I have one guy who needs a Perf Shifter: Chance for +END.
I've had bids on a dozen different levels for two weeks and gotten nothing.
