    According to what I have been told by the support staff, you no longer get free slots on your annual badge because of the paragon points. You can save them and buy slots whenever.
  2. I believe the answer is yes to all of those, but I don't know about the tanker numbers. I don't know if anyone put all the numbers on every single enhancement with and without catalysts.

    If I get an extra one I will PM you and meet to trade sometime (I will give it free.)

As I understand it, five years have passed between Faultline and the new SSA6, during which time Penny has grown from 14 to 18 in an instant, then from 18 to 23 where she is at the SSA.
    What I love is her pet - she has this huge glowing ball of psychic energy that heals her like mad. I want that power!

    I'm guessing he uses the Cloak and Dagger watch, the Enforcer pistol, and the Spycicle.

    Well, have you done the new signature story arc? She is pictured earlier in this thread.
  7. The old Penny is the one in this video towards the end, right?

    Now that I spent a bazillion inf getting the ATO, I discover it only increases it by 2% (20% of the base 10%).
    Thanks Aggelakis for ruining my day

    Seriously, I jumped on ATOs in the market buying the hype that they were great and wanting to get in while I could (barely) afford them, but now I keep running into all kinds of caveats that make me really down on them:
    - the set bonuses aren't great for the most part (mostly useful for +rchg)
    - the procs aren't that great except maybe for the Brute one (I thought the scrapper one was awesome until I read this thread)
    - they are weaker than corresponding IOs
    - the tanker proc is bugged because it thinks every attack is an AoE
    - catalyst are character bound, so now you're going to get them on the "wrong" character where they will sit useless

    I seem to not find room in builds to use ATOs without weakening them in some ways that is dubiously made up by the ATO's benefit.
    They're as good as an orange set and superiors are as good as a purple set, if you want to get technical about it. Think of the sets as another way to get a purple set onto your favorite toon.

    Maybe it's just me - first thing I immediately thought of was the tower of hats in TF2.
  10. Same here too, just collecting them. I haven't bought any tier 9, only tier 9 VIP, have them all and just sitting on tokens.

    ...I dunno either. Stop looking at me like that.

  12. Good to hear - better go over them all when it hits though just in case.

    I don't think so - I am thinking not next week, but the week after is certainly when it will hit.

    ...remember there are powers changes that haven't even hit the beta server yet.

    Interesting. Seems like such an odd bug - why single those badges out?

    Yes, but as mentioned, I was told by support there is a bug with the 7th year one.
  17. Wow, this NEEDS to get reported immediately. Get Arbiter Hawk & Synapse in on this, on top of sending /bug reports.
  18. Yeah they just fixed a problem with it today:

    Brute's Fury: +Recharge/+Chance for +Fury - Fixed a bug that granted +Fury per target hit instead of per activation of the power.

    Honestly the brute one sounds really lame to me - when you run into a mob you hit your upper limits on fury almost immediately as it is.
  20. Honestly, they are probably working on things that take advantage of the unreleased incarnate powers first.

    Outside of that, there really isn't much reason to delay it too much since it would just add to the length of time you stay subscribed even with just your favorite character. It will likely take a good chunk of time to unlock them and slot them.

    ...although it did sound like they are not going to make new salvage for those slots.

    It's ok.

    So basically with the normal version, you have a 7% chance to crit against minions, and a 14% chance to hit higher ranks.

    With the purple version, you have an 8% chance to crit against minions and a 16% chance to crit against higher ranks.

    Is this correct?

    Yeah, I earned that one using 70 Astrals + 25 mil and during all of those itrials I never even heard of anyone getting a catalyst so that's no biggie.
  23. ...so, it is or is not just for the attack it is slotted into? ...because that did not answer my question.

    I appreciate that info though.

    EDIT: I assume it is for all attacks, as you mentioned it was calced as a bonus, but the recent post regarding frequency for the bonuses makes it confusing - is the Scrapper crit bonus the only one that is always running and not designed on x per minute like the rest?
  24. Yeah I don't see why not - that's about what it costs for a purple recipe anyway.
