Bad Idea: Having a nice conversation with Reichman.

Good Idea: Asking for help in the help channel.

And am I the only one reading this in that announcer's voice?

IIRC, theres a setting in power customization to turn off the visual effects. You can choos to have them on, off, or off in PvE only.

What discussion? How do you discuss an unmitigated fact?

My reason (note, I've only been hit once)

"ALERT! OBLITERATION BEAM FIRING!"

Okay, green spot on the ground, wait, there's 3 of them. Which one do I go to?

This one?

BLAM!!!

Umm, guess not.

And it turns out it was hidden by another two green spots that are more prominent on the ground.

Mistress eva you mean? Then no. The CoS/CoL costumes have been sought after for a while but never delivered.

If he really was doing it only to help people he would have told the camera crew to not get involved. He not only allowed them to record it, but encouraged it. So no, he's not doing it to help his fellow man, he's doing it for the spotlight. Helping out his fellow man is just a side effect.

You knowingly copied a trademarked name and even admitted as such right here (and no, a single letter difference is not excusable) A person noticed it and filed a petition which in turned caused your character to be generic'ed. It is that simple. You know the rules, you broke them, and you got caught. Now stop whining because you claim you didn't break it as far as someone else.

The scale works that you are at the level of your most recent filled tier. So if you are one slot short on tier 7 you are still considered a tier 6 as far as the extra rewards are concerned.

Let's run through the list here.

Afterburner: If you absolutely need to get to the next objective just that much faster and have the slots to spare, then by all means, go for it. But there's no tactical advantage in taking it and I personally would rather take something that can benefit me more in combat.

Burnout: outside of T9 powers, the only ones with a cool down that can benefit from this is the pool, epic and incarnate powers. It's a rare situation where I must have another activation right at that moment once every 30 mins.

Spring attack: Probably the most useful of the bunch, but if I recall correctly, the Judgement slot does the same with much more punch and a lower cool down. If you have absolutely no AoE then it is useful, but the only At I can think of without one is the stalker and that because such a power is detrimental to the play style.

Long Range Teleport: Not a bad power really, but situational at best. The only time I can see it as useful is if you are far away from any means of accessing other transport hubs. For areas like Talos, Independence Port, or Nerva it has it's uses. But most others just not worth the effort unless you're in a race.

Finally, your two slot complaint being garbage, no it's not. The examples you gave a are very specific and don't really help outside of them. The whole concept of the game is to build how you want within reason. To have a sacrifice of two slots with the claim that you will use them in only very limited amounts goes against that whole idea.

The T5 travel powers are interesting, but only marginally useful and the only reason I can think of taking them is if you already meed the requirements and have an open slot.

it's account wide and it allows you to bet auras at level 1 instead of doing the mission at level 30.

Surprisingly a question not asked yet: What are you fighting when the END goes down so quickly?
