    I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I really don't care anymore. But, long gone are the days where people actually played their toons and not just rush to 50.

    But if you want to know, the link below will describe all of the MasterMind features including Bodyguard.

    Yup that's what I do to get tips also, Bosses & LT, but I leave minions alone. I usually don't have a problem normally getting tips with other characters, but it's just this time I'm running into some really bad streak of luck.

    I'm in Nerva now, but when I was in Sharkhead I just about ran around killing any Bosses & LT in sight. Don't recall if I ever made it to that airship over there, maybe I'll go check it out.

    Thanks all!
  3. Has anyone ever had difficulty getting tip missions?

    I made a Fortunata character, leveled it all the way to 20 without problem, but once I got to level 20 I was expecting to get tip missions so I can start my journey to the hero side.

    My character is now 26 and I've just now completed my 9th Rogue tip. Mind you, I play solo allot and I've joined teams occasionally, 2 of those tips were from teaming.

    So that means I've only got 7 tips in 6 levels on my own, I think that's a bit much dontcha think?

    Last night I got frustrated and sent in a petition, let’s see how that goes.

    But I'm just curious, how many of you have trouble getting tips?

    I play thugs and it really gets annoying fast when my arsonist insists on running up to the Bosses and throws a molotov cocktail just 6 inches away. And what do you think happens next? You guessed it, the Arsonist dies. Surprised? I think Not!

    Or how about when your minions run up to the baddies and pistol whips them to death instead of shooting them.

    I also agree, when we say "stay" we mean STAY!!!! 1,000,000 Magnitude probably still won't be enough.

  5. WOW! Steelclaw, you must really like pain. Let’s say for a moment that you do finally get a character to 50 and something else comes along that changes things, would you delete that same 50 and start over again? *shutters*

    LMAO!! I totally agree. That place just sucks. Did it once like 4 years ago, never step foot in there again since.
  7. I'm looking for someone with good base building skills that can turn my bland old bare bones base into something eye catching. It's a fairly medium size base with all teleporters to all zones and full of salvage & storage bins, medical bay, energy & control rooms, it's mainly used for me and my alts. It's current value (according to the Supergroup Registrar in Atlas Park City Hall) at 9.1mill prestige with 3.6mill prestige available. I can inject another 2.6mill immediately if needed.

    I have the patience, but not the time to build it myself and I know that base building is time consuming, so I'm willing to pay for your service too. If your interested, please send me a global tell to @Penny Sillen (Yes, I've recently changed my global)

    P.S. Forgot to mention, this base is on Freedom.

    WOW! That would be nice to have someday too. But in the meantime, it's time to get your toons and start mass joining of teams and running TF's. WOOHOO!

    Actually out of all of the events, Double XP Weekends are my all time favorites and I wish they would happen more frequently.

    Think I might have figured out a pattern here with the unresponsive pets. If you cast your pets without any 1st or 2nd level equipment added, they zone and respond perfectly. But if you enhance your pets with either the 1st or 2nd level enhancement, they stop responding after you zone. I tested this by zoning in and out of Brickstown/Independence port several times each.

    I sent in a bug report, maybe they can figure out how to fix it.

    Zoning bug

    Yeah, this bug has been around for months now. It doesn't happen all of the time though, but now I've gotten into the habbit of checking to make sure my pets can move by using the goto command ("/petcom_all Goto") at the beginning of each mission. If they don't respond, I just /releasepets and resummon.

    There have been many times where I start a fight only to find out my pets aren't there and of course I get face planted. I wish the dev's would get this fixed soon, because it's getting very annoying.

    LOL.......I just had to laugh when I saw this. Yeah, I agree...all of the old story arcs are just stupid now. They get you to run to this zone, defeat X.....run to this zone, defeat Y, etc...etc...etc. It gets boring.

    I did thought Praetoria was initally hard, but I got use to it and now I think it's easy. So when I saw this thread, I thought......so whats wrong with Praetoria? Nothing.

    I have to agree here.....I love my 50's too just as much as my lowbies. If you're not gonna double the amount of shards, why not double the percentage of how often they do drop.

    22? Holy Cow.......do you even have time to play the game? Or a job for that matter?

    I have a hard time marketing with just 1 and dealing with RL stuff at home too, but I can't imagine 22. WOW, my hats off to ya my friend.

    Open Arcs?

    I did some more digging around after seeing your post, I wanted to see what the difference was between major and minor story arc icons looks like and I found this posting on the forums, thanks goes to Zombie Man.

    After applying the new texture to the major story arc icons, (see article) apparently I have 1 Major & 1 Minor on the Hero Side and 1 Major & 5 Minor on the Villain side. So I will definitely for sure go back to Villains to clean up those old arcs.

    Open Arcs?

    Thanks, DumpleBerry for the tip. It appears that I have all of my 6 story arcs on the Villain side as minor arcs, (they have the green book icon) so it looks like I have to become a vigilante and clean up those old story arcs on the villain side, so I can move on as a hero.

    Not sure if the 6 minor arcs on the Villain side is causing me not to open new ones on the Hero side, but I'll go clean them up anyways.
  18. Marsha_Mallow

    Open Arcs?

    I have a Thugs MM that has become a Hero, I'm trying out story arcs on the Hero side.

    I've tried running radio missions and then doing the bank missions from my detective, once I complete the bank mission my detective just thanks me and doesn't offer any new contacts. I've done this like 2 times now.

    After looking through all of my old and current contacts I've discovered that I have 2 open arcs as a Hero and have 6 open arcs as a Villain. So I'm wondering, is 8 the maximum open arcs anyone can have?
  19. Ahh, thats what I forgot to look at. Yes you are correct, now I see the damage bonus using Musculature Boost. Had to wait for the cooldown to unslot then reslot again to notice the change.

    Thanks for your insight, it's kinda late and wasn't thinking clearly.
  20. I currently have a Thugs/Dark MM that is level 50. I have my first alpha slot as Musculature Boost, which should give me 33% extra damage. However, looking at my Combat Attributes with all of my IO sets I currently have only 18.25% damage boost. This 18.25% is regardless if I have my Alpha slotted with it or not. So what am I missing here? Where is the extra damage boost?

    I also created the Siritual Boost as well, tried slotting that with no difference in my recharge time other than my IO sets. I've got 5 of the 7.5% LoTG Global Recharge along with my IO sets I have a total of 67.50% Recharge time bonus in Combat Attributes, so maybe I'm maxed out? Again, slotting Siritual Boost seems to make no difference either, am I missing something there too?

    Nvidia GTX 260

    I'm having an issue with my GTX260 as well, although no crashing but occasionally during the game the whole screen would flash the desktop and back to the game for a brief second.

    I knew it was my desktop because one time it lasted longer than a second and I could clearly see my desktop. This happens reguardless if I'm running full screen or windowed modes.

    And yes, I am running 260.99 drivers as well.

    lol........same thing I thought........more RedCaps and Showbeasts....joy! *sarcasm*
  23. Awesome! Yeah, I plan on slotting 1 of them in each of the powers described earlier. What I didn’t know is that you can only slot 5 or 6 max, but no worries as I can’t think of slotting them anywhere else in my build so 30% should be fine.

    Thanks everyone for the clarification.
  24. Hypothetically speaking, would slotting Luck of the Gambler +7.5 Global Recharge in the following slots be effective?

    Flight/Hover
    Tactics/Maneuvers
    Concealment/Stealth & Invisibility

    Or would Enhancement Diversification (ED) take into affect and not really give me 30% global recharge?
