  1. So we did a Magisterium Triple Threat run and then at the end we thought, what the heck, we'll go for Hard Way. So we popped our Lores and went to town. Well.. we got Hard Way. We killed Tyrant TOO FAST. We killed him to 0% before he got despawn and respawn (you know when he poofs then reappears smaller). So we "Failed" the trial despite completing it because we were too fast LOL. He went from 100 to 0 in 1 round of lights, so around 35 seconds.

    I wanted to let other people know in case they have this issue, or so that people can avoid it by stopping at 10!

  2. Do a test run, I think people might just be able to queue into the event and get picked up, regardless of status.
  3. The inf from the Halloween event was rolled over to the Spring Fling, and I used an extra 1 billion for that. Also sponsored the 4th of July Party (@Fista) for 500mill. Current bank is at 23.5 billion!
  4. Sending you the prize money from the Victory PERC Bank!

    Am I poor now?

    Welcome back! Your bids were cancelled when they combined the villain and hero auction houses a few years ago. All current bids were canceled and all listings were refunded and they both basically "started over". Enjoy your inf and figure out converters, cause they are a lot of fun!
  17. Just a reminder that today is the last day to enter! We will be selecting contestants beginning tomorrow!

    My main problem with them is it feels like you have to +5 every....single.....slot to make it worthwhile. Granted I can see a benefit in that in many regards, but how many slots at 50? Then x5 boosters. Then xCharacters. Just the idea puts me off the idea; yes I know that certainly isn't necessary, but it's in the back of my mind I'm sure that was the intent to intice people to buy them, but it just puts me off the idea of them as a whole.

    I might play with the ones I have with a respec that's needed on a Troller of mine just to use them or a Scrapper that's in need of a respec anyway to make the 30s more tolerable.
    Yeah I agree with you on the enticing! It is however pretty handy to save 2 or 3 slots on really tight builds And if you like to slot sets as you level.
  22. Boosters are really good for 3 things:

    1. Exemping, you can slot level 30s and boost them and have level 50 values but be able to keep your bonuses when exemped.

    2. Two slotting normally three slotted powers, you can slot 2 level 50 rech IOs in hasten and boost them and have the value of 3, or 2 res IOs in HPT as another example.

    3. Purples, you can +5 a damage purple and combine it with a Dmg/acc HO to slot a power in 2 slots. Or you can bump up the triple or dmg/end or dmg/rech and forgo the dmg purple all together! (if 5 slotting)

    I am not sure I would buy these unless I had a lot of points, I usually just use my extra tokens for Super packs and I seem to get plenty

    Oh no, something terrible has happened to your base! Was it a natural disaster? A gang of looting Skulls? A Rikti bombing? A jealous Hellion's girlfriend? Whatever the cause, a total disaster has hit your base leaving you with nothing but wreckage! How creative can you be at turning a mess into a beautiful base? Thirty Designers will be selected to see who can best salvage their "Disaster Base"!
