Er - you can use the map when you're in an SG base. There's no fog-of-war or anything there. Should make it easy to not backtrack or have to spend "10 minutes" looking. Plus, once you do find them, you should be able to recognize where they are the next time.

Or, perhaps... just ask where they are and save the search, or do what N_M says. Yeah, some do have poor layout, but trying to find 'porters shouldn't be a search every single time (barring a base builder who switches things daily.)

How do I feel about it?

If you want to spend money:
For $9.99, you can get the natural pack with ninja run.
For $5.99, you can get a jet pack.

If you don't:
For free, you can get several in game. (5-10 safeguard, 10-15 safeguard/mayhem, goldbricker, zulu, grandville...)
And/Or you can stay a paid subscriber for 60 months.

All of the above (well, except the 60 month) will let you avoid burning a pick on a travel power if you so choose.

So... no, thanks.

/disagree.

They *are* being paid by arachnos, for one - just read the dialog. Somewhat hush-hush about it, but it sounds like the area's being used for the RIP (to get to Arachnos) just like it's being used for the destined ones. (Alternately, they move up to Cage's guards.)

Now, for having the mobs show up elsewhere? Yeah, they should. COV's horrible at having mobs in really restricted areas and not using them (luddites, spetznaz, etc.) I'd love to see them get more use.

In any case, they're nothing but low-level mobs, on much the same level as the Skulls, and we get out of them fast enough. We have another 45+ levels of Arachnos, Longbow, Arachnos, Longbow, Arachnos, Longbow, Arachnos. We don't really need more Arachnos.

The only thing I've seen this done to is Stalker Hide, since it's so essential to the functionality of the entire AT.

That said, are you looking at *only* attacks (IE, flares and the like) or any "tier 1" power? The first is blatantly unfair, the second is a bit unbalanced (think of an Emp or Thermal that never had to pay for those heals, for instance.) (Edit - or "Tier 1 of the primary?")

Actually, looking at it *either* way, you've just empowered Controllers to have a perma-Immobilize. Say, Ice - Just make an Ice/TA. Chillblain/Entangling Arrow/Chillblain/Entangling Arrow ad infinitum. Slot CB with damage and recharge, give EA a damage proc. Free damage with an immob that could be stacked so high nothing could leave.

Followup: Also by comparison, what about Masterminds? Their END cost isn't in their attacks (which so many people skip,) but in their pets (and the upgrading and maintenance thereof.)

She's doing it for the greater good. Trying to subvert the broadcast "The heroes are trying to keep you down" propaganda. Yeah, that's what it is...

Might be a bit of a stretch for what you're looking for, but Torrent has KB unless used by a Necro MM's Lich.

Yeah, they start at 1000. A good chunk of the next section are all dev choice and player choice - pretty sure they were ported over from when it was on test.

To search with those parameters from the OP, just select everything from no stars to 5 stars, let it search and sort by date. Now, which are playable vs broken, you'd have to look through.

With the results left, 1023 is Positron, 1026 is Pohsyb. 1032 is @BigMoneyHustla "Delusional Illusions." And I'd call it at least initially playable, since you can enter the mission. Whether it's "updated" or not, I don't know - reads as final, as opposed to 'work in progress." (So I'm just past the first 100 it seems - 1107's the first one I published. 1107, 1120, and 1134. >.> I should do some tweaking. Probably need a bit of cleaning up.)

Yeah... time of day, if you can ping them - and try a server other than freedom, as you're looking at the two most populated servers with it and virtue. (Just for the heck of it.) Champion, Guardian, etc. might be good for comparison.

(Yeah, trying to help. This isn't a secret plot to get you into making more characters, slipping down the road to altaholism... much.)

Also - wiki page with which servers are on which coast. Might help troubleshoot.

Might be thinking of Shadow Cloak.

I'm a big fan of using multi-builds - whether it's as a pseudo-respec, doing a solo vs team or concept vs normal build or any other use, I think they're one of the handiest things added into the game.

Few things I'd like to see, though:

1. Rename without switching.

I've brought this one up before. If you want to rename your builds, you have to switch TO the build - and you're subject to the 15 minute timer before you can rename the second.
(In other words:
- Rename current build - provide name.
- Switch build.
- Rename current build - will give you an error telling you to wait 15 minutes.)

There are times I don't *want* to swap builds - I just want to rename them when setting them up. Either a menu item (Rename build X, Rename build Y) and/or slash command would be nice to have.

2. Simul-level.

Another of the "bitten by 15 minutes" items. You level, you level both builds, of course - both are (say) level 38. It would be nice to pick powers on both at the same time on the trainer ("Build 1/Build 2") without actually swapping TO them. (Perhaps with the OPTION to swap, sure.) But it'd be nice to just get both done at once without actually having to swap.

3. Enhancing without swapping.

Yeah, same as 2. Yes, it'd take more time at the stores, I'm sure, but as purely QOL, again... it'd be nice.

Note neither 2 nor 3 would be part of a respec - just normal leveling. Each build would have to be respecced separately at a trainer, keeping enhancements separate (other than the tray) and just keeping straight which build you're doing what to.

The other build would also have to EXIST for any of this to work - if you want a new build to switch to, you're level 50 and "build 2" has never been touched, spend time at the trainer to do it. (Often by the time I, at least, am done with that and some enhancements, I can swap back anyway.)

4. "Build reference"

And related to the last two - it'd be nice to take a quick look at your "other build" without having to swap to it - say, to see if it DOES need enhancing, or for a "What was I thinking? I need to redo it!" or to see if it'd work better with your team/mission/whatnot.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned "Humanform = more slots - or, rather, same slots, fewer powers!"

Follow Shadow's info first. You'll find you're using /demorecord in game, then something like Fraps to record the playback. (Does Zloth's demo editor and player still work?)

You *can* use Windows Movie Maker to put it into a more reasonably sized video, edit, etc. but - especially with the latest version - there are *much* better tools out there. (Really don't like the Windows Live version of WMM. Stripped too much out. 2.1 on XP was ok for something basic.)
