Considering that I just got a purple drop on a level 47 minion (which was even con to me), yes, you should be able to get purples on level 49 minions. I also immediately sold it for 50 million inf.

So, has anyone tried soloing missions set to maximums? (as a team of eight, plus four levels, with bosses, and AVs activated)

A new secondary power-set for Blasters. They have the least number of choices for secondaries out there. (Yes, yes, I know, Masterminds have less Primary power-sets then Blasters have secondaries, but unless they're going to add clowns as a Mastermind primary power-set, I can't think of what else they could add.)

I'm against raising the level cap. I'm having enough to do just to get to 50th.

Plus, look at WoW. They've raised the level cap twice, and they've had to almost constantly rebalance and tweak practically every spell and ability in the game, multiple times, due to the raised level caps in Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. And you can bet they'll have to do it again and again and oops, one more time (forgot the pally nerf) for Cataclysm.

Now, there's supposed to be some sort of alternate advancement possibilities in Going Rogue. What are they going to be? Who knows?

I'll tell you what I'd like to see in Going Rogue though.... (you know, besides Dual Pistols, which I am looking forward to).

Alternate advancement options that allow you to unlock costume parts for your account, not just the character you're on. (Just the costume parts, not any badges or accolades). As an example, let's say you've long since defeated 200 Council on an AR blaster, which unlocks the Council SMG. Well, fulfilling an alternate advancement option allows you to unlock all the costume parts, account wide, that defeating 200 Council would get you, like the Ascendant shields.

Likewise, you wouldn't have to wait months for a specific event to roll around to unlock holiday costume parts on a new character.

Or how about an alternate advancement option that allows you to unlock bonuses? Like a SG based one that gives you an additional percentage of Prestige? Or that opens up new SG base parts, or costume options that aren't previously available?

anyway, just my $0.02

Run CoX in windowed mode?

You could re-write the story so the children are fans of "Twilight" and you have to stop them from making a horrible literary choice.

According to the paragonwiki entry (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Force_Fe...or_%2BRecharge), it can have a chance to activate off of every target in an AOE. However, it does not stack with itself. So, while an AOE is the best place to put it, if for no other reason then increasing the overall chance it will proc, you can't have it stack multiple times off of one AOE.

I just want to point that there tends to be observation bias, in that you tend to notice when things go badly over when things go well.

That is to say, if you're chugging along through a mission and don't have any problems with any of the mobs, you're never going to really notice it. Yeah, you might think "hey, that mission was easy", but that's about it.

When a mission goes badly, however, you remember it. You remember the string of six misses in a row, or the fight where you couldn't lock down the AV at all.

Also, most people don't take into account that they're not collecting enough data. Sure, if you miss a few times in a row with your long recharge power, you remember that, but it's only a couple of points of data. Collect a couple hundred points of data and then you can see if your powers are missing more often then they should be.

Hrm. It's possible that the information is bugged.

I'm not at home so I can't check (alas, stuck at work for the next six hours), but the Red Tomax site (http://www.redtomax.com/data/powers/...sionic_Assault) says that at level 28, Mental Blast should be 24.67 Psionic damage on a 4 second recharge, and Subdue should be 40.46 damage on a 8 second recharge.

I can't tell you why the numbers are off on the detailed info. *shrug*

Uh... you can't actually get those powers until levels 10 (Mental Blast) and 28 (Subdue), so I would suspect that the numbers you're getting are calculated incorrectly. Are you using the "real numbers" dropdown in the power selection screen? If so, move the slider up to level 28 and then see what the powers damage and such is.

Also, Mental Blast for Dominator should have a Recharge of 4 seconds (going off of the stats on the Red Tomax site), so you're getting one incorrect number no matter what.

I'd love a 2x Merit weekend. I can't seem to get any rare recipe drops that I want (seriously, RNG, I don't want any part of the Malaise's Illusions set any more0, and I can't afford the ones I want on Wentworth's.

Yeah, right now, the pieces for it are running several hundred thousand (if not more) Inf, for each piece. Whereas if you can manage to hold on until the Halloween event, you can probably get all of the pieces yourself... or if not, they'll be cheaper once the market is flooded again.

Technically, yes, if you made a character named Thor(something) and it was sufficiently different in costume, appearance, and powers (say, a Plant/Thermal Radiation Controller, or something odd like that), then you would stand a good chance of appealing any possible genericizing of your character.

In reality, you're probably better naming your character something different. And there are enough comic book geeks playing CoX (yeah, I know, what a shock) that even if you pick a particularly obscure character, it will almost certainly get noticed and reported. (Not to mention the idiot who practically copied Marvel Comics' "The Vision" and whinged about it being reported.)

Thanks!

Okay, so the mission where Tina sends you to the Banished Pantheon world to rescue people, there's indications you have to fight Adamastor. Now, I know when he appears in Dark Astoria, he's a Giant Monster...

Is it possible for a tanker to solo him in the mission, however?
