  1. Each of us has a set of NPCs that we hate to run into. I'm not talking about entire groups (although I can think of a few), I'm talking about specific enemies. I know what's on my list (below), who's on yours?

    Nictus: Shadow Cyst Crystals
    Void Hunters: Void Seeker, Void Stalkers, Void Slayers.
    Malta Group: Sappers
    Carnival of Shadows: Ring Mistresses and Master Illusionists
    Circle of Thorns: Earth Thorn Casters, Spectral Daemons, Spectral Followers, and Spectral Daemon Lords
    Knives of Artemis: Mercenaries
    Vahzilok: Enbalmed Abominations and Mortificators

    I'm all for change. I'm not attached to the current Granite Armor FX. I would prefer to see what you have in mind before giving my final vote, however.

    Grats! I heard the team build wasn't the above. What changed? I also noticed a Vanguard Heavy, how many temp powers did you use?

    I'm asking because I'm curious as you said that it went well. I'm hoping my suggestions were helpful.

    I took a boneless pork loin roast and seared it in a frying pan til all the sides were nice and caramely brown and golden. Then I smeared it all over with a paste of fresh rosemary from my garden, garlic and kosher salt. I put it in a roasting pan and poured some dry white wine over it. I covered it, and put it in a 350 oven for about 45 min. I removed the roast to rest (tented in foil of course!) and added a tbsp of butter (butter makes it better!) to the leftover wine, rosemary and garlic mixture in the pan. Then I added some dijon mustard and whisked it all together and drizzled it over the (now) sliced pork.

    It was fabulous. Absolutely amazing. I don't think bacon could have added to the awesomeness.

    I highly recommend stocking up on Shivans from Bloody Bay and Rockets from Warburg, I don't think the team has enough ranged damage and debuff to take out Ghost Widow without using them. Additionally she has a PBAoE heal (essentially her version of Dark Regeneration) that is dependent on the number of targets she hits that are in melee range, with that many Scrappers, you're really gonna have to work her over to defeat her.

    Scirocco may also be tricky as he has a PBAoE high damage, -end attack (essentially his version of Radiation's EMP).

    Based strictly on the team makeup, getting to the final mission should be easy. Defeating the Patrons (Ghost Widow and Scirocco in particular) may be quite difficult. I'm not going to say that it is impossible. I'm just warning you ahead of time that you should expect a serious challenge.

    Good luck!

    Can't Connect

    Well, of all the maintenance that can be automated, the following things spring to mind:

    1. full database backups
    2. database indexing
    3. data warehousing (both game server stats and database server)
    4. power cycling servers (doing this periodically to take care of "memory leaks")

    I don't think they'd do anything manual today, like upgrading hardware drivers, too much chance for things to go wrong while (to my estimation) much of the staff has the day off.
