Not so big on the alignment merits.

A small tweak (I think 5's actually too big *in most cases*) to merits wouldn't be bad, but they really don't take much effort. I hopped on a PUG at one point that took down four of them in about 15 minutes. (Wasn't even a full team, as I recall.) Jurassik, Eochai, Jack in Irons (Eo twice, actually, once solo and once at "the war,") and one other. (Might have been a Babbage team.) I wouldn't nudge them over 3. They just go down too fast.

The rare recipe drop could help. (Let them drop purples for the 47-50s as well.)

I tend to agree with the specifics for these GMs you brought out, as well.

Nope.
Moving at least a Dom off of Freedom. Possibly my corr as well, but I might leave that one on as just a token "if a friend happens to be playing there" character. Not sure if I'll move stuff off heroside or not. I greatly dislike playing on Freedom, so I tend to remove characters from there.

Virtue's probably staying just as it is.

Yep.
Win7, Firefox, IE and chrome. Multiple times just today.

I think she was still a bit busy with real life stuff, wasn't she...

*looks at maintenance announcement*

So, NCSoft, maintainer of servers.... are you ready for Issue 18?

Books. No, not a student. Replacing my MiG-21 developmental history would run about $80, then buy a decent hardcover on sale, probably have a buck or two left over. Or be boring and throw it at my credit card.

I almost feel compelled to work out a contrasting Peacebringer guide. Just reading through again (yes, a repeat read!) and thinking of my various PBs brings out the contrast in attitude (at least for me personally) when approaching a Peacebringer.

For instance, here we happily sacrifice humanform blasts, especially early, to pump up the slotting for Nova and Dwarf, with an eye toward control and self buffing - locking the forms (including human) together to take advantage of each other.

Personally, for me, when it comes to a Peacebringer, slotting those human powers becomes far more important - and not just the attacks. It almost makes it seem bi-forming lends itself better to a peacebringer. A PB loves melee, so you *want* to slot those attacks... and along with them, shields, and all that suggests you look at Stamina (as PBs have no Stygian.) I keep saying a Peacebringer's more self contained and more independent - it doesn't need enemies, all the buffs are steady buffs, etc, and that does tend to reflect itself in the forms, as well. Nova is the same, regardless, but without the backup of the fluffies (and I don't think anyone will really say Seekers are the equivalent.) Dwarf can use the buffs from human, but it doesn't give anything back but mez protection from being in form (and a second self heal.)

There's also the fact that, human-side, we can't separate a crowd. We have no TP Foe - so if you're attacking in human, you're wading into melee no matter *what's* in there and, again, will probably put an eye towards those shields and possibly stealth.

... May have to write up a post to have the community hash it out over in the Kheld forums. This reply's already longer than intended.

sure, toss 'em in, I'm good with it.

Not only is that a severely gimped "travel power" with the limitations you put in, but there are side issues you don't seem to have touched.

- Zone travel. You're flying a helicopter *into* a ferry or train?
- The maps don't currently mark you as being "indoors" or "outdoors." For this exceptionally limited travel power, you now have the devs reworking each and every map in the game. (You can't just call "indoors" "In an instance," as not all instances are in office buildings or caves.)
- You say the cars/motorcycles "just" don't work on water. I can't think of a single power that does anything different in water. (Note I don't mean "animates differently," which is a completely different department.)
- You don't touch on powers. With superspeed, superjump, and flight (to a lesser degree, just because of how it "travels," with teleport) I can attack on the way. What about with these various vehicles?
- Motorcycles. I don't think you're realizing how big an investment of time these things would be, even without being customized. (I want to say we have a dev quote going over it, but as I'm posting now purely due to lack of sleep which I will shortly attempt to rectify, someone else can track it down.)

Quite honestly, given how many more powers we have as a triform versus a standard AT, I wouldn't argue if they had Nova and Dwarf powers come double-slotted on grant. Not sure it's actually doable, but it'd make me happy at least.

Alienware's only a brand. Running Windows. Which means it should work. (IN fact, come GR, it'll use the AlienFX color changing setup.)

Make sure you're not using some skinning setup (which might come with it) such as Windowblinds.

Have a good break.

You'll be back. They always come back.

Muahahaha... >.>

IIRC, given it needs a code, probably the same one you can buy for $5 (or $6) in the NCSoft store. 30 day.
