    based on what i know, the mecha armor is supposed to come out with i23, which will replace the celestial armor, so when we have a release date for i23 then we will know when celestial is being pulled

    Or is this just the Summer Blockbuster stuff, and not I23?

    If it is I23, will the new Mecha costumes be available?!
    im not sure if it will be the blockbuster or the new issue

    and yes, i23 is definitely gonna have mecha armor with it (since celestial armor is also getting removed from tier 9 VIP stuff at same time)

As i seem to remember most badgers had their own bases in many cases and used their salvage to get the 5000 creations badge. That was a bug that was fixed pretty quick but the dmg was done hundreds of thousands of base salvage were burned immediatly.
    i remember definitely doing that, the final invention badge was for like 10,000 inventions or something crazy and i had enough base salvage to get like 85% done with the badge
  6. i think most of my toons have already cleaned up their base salvage, i might have 1-2 toons with a piece or 2 left though

    For hasten I would like to see

    Traditional fire hands

    Electrical hands

    A blur effect.

    No FX.

    Same for super speed.

    One day maybe. This year I hope. I really want something to happen this year that will make me want to buy another year sub in Jan. So far that thing has not happened. I don't even know what that thing is, but I am sure I will know it when I finely do see it.
    if you have the blazing, electric, and streak path auras you can already get some of those fx that you would like for hasten although they can still be pretty messed up with the glowing feet

    just having no fx option would be the easiest for them to implement, although it would require using your aura to make the effect, would prolly not work if you wanted a full body aura too (im all for more options though, if they add options that are similar to the current path auras then having 2 auras would be cool)
  9. i dont really see a reason for forcing cim to be a lvl 35+ zone, and it does kind of interrupt things during a DA mish team

    when ive been on DA mish teams whenever i come up to sister solaris arc i usually change toons cause if im running with poeple under lvl 35 they cant come and enjoy the arc

    i do see thematically why we have an unlock, but i believe the level cap should be lifted since the midnighter club itself does not have a level restriction (you cant get the arc till 35 but if you team with someone to get the badge you can get there at really low lvl, this will only work with the redside arc now)

    all they really have to do is lift the level restriction on cim and everything would be perfect

    as for expanding the lore a bit on cimerora sure, but i agree with others that the level cap needs to be lowered first

    Why wasn't this done YEARS ago?? Seriously.
    hand clap wont be able to take the set because it is a universal dmg set and will prolly only be able to go into powers which can take dmg enhances

    hurricane is another one that prolly wont be able to take this either

    according to the player summit they are gonna eventually allow us to get up to 2 more enhancement trays for total of 5 which will make respecing MUCH easier if you have fully IO builds
  12. i have to say i am interested in the summer event, both for the potential badges, and for this extremely tantalizing piece of sweet IO lol
  13. i agree with lothic on this, either fix the badges to simply use account creation date, or remove them completely if they are broken

    and as snow globe pointed out we have had several badge removals in the past (im still kind of annoyed at the i15 badge removal, THAT is actually what killed my interest in AE, so what if half of them were a little grindy it would have actually gotten me to play AE arcs more lol)

    I sat next to Posi during dinner at the Pummit, and asked him specifically about this exact issue. He said that the vet "year" badges are completely and irrevocably dead, kaput, and that's that. Apparently the figuring up of paid time and awarding of badges is somehow involved with a 3rd party (vendor) of theirs and he indicated that there's simply no way to fix the code involved (he was QUITE emphatic about this issue being dead, which is why I'd expect that they would just post up something about it at some point and be done with it).

    I'm fairly shocked to hear that at least one person claims to have been awarded one recently, given Posi's black and white response to my question...guess they don't understand even how the code is broken.
    interesting, and i would assume the same as you

    personally if they consider the system dead they should just remove all of the yearly vet badges because otherwise poeple will still be expecting them, and yes i know this means i would lose at least 5 badges but at least i wouldnt be expecting another badge come this july when i cross the 6 year mark
  15. even the first day the event seemed kind of lackluster due to the fact that it was just reskinned invasions with an added GM

    it was fun maybe 2-3 times but after that it wasnt any different than any other invasion

    incarnate shards

    ITF is a good co op shard farm essentially, if you are redside the barracuda sf is also pretty good for shards (highest i seen is someone getting like 21 shards from a barracuda)

    i agree that shards are kind of moot at this point, but they do slow incarnate progression if you do not play DA or trials very much

    my scroll wheel works on pretty much all my toons in game for menus and such, some it doesnt but i think thats because i need to fix the setting for it
  18. the dmg debuff is easy to overcome with fury

    the run speed debuffs arent too bad to overcome

    on my dark stone brute i also got tactics in order to alleviate the confuse problem so the only hole he really has is psi and terrorize

    below is the build i use, i built my toon to be in granite 99% of the time

    some of the build is a bit hashed together since i had him 90% finished on build before i ever started using mids but it really works for me

    the only leviathan power i could see being used possible is water spout, which i think is pretty awesome

    2 of the leviathan powers are shark themed which isnt really water, 1 of them is hibernate, 1 of them is an armor, 1 of them is a pet

    that would leave only 2 other possible powers both of which have about the exact same animation
  21. the bruiser in thugs set does not have taunt ability that i recall, but hes also just as fragile as the other pets so i would not rely on his ability to absorb dmg either

    i have a demon/trap which works excellent

    bot/trap is a classic one which doesnt even need IOs to be strong

    really almost anything with /trap is good enough to kill AVs due to poison trap, just some sets of pets can output more dmg
  22. i get all my stuff more or less when its due

    i never use the transfers so meh

    i usually buy a lot more points than i get for the month anyway so the monthly points just save me a couple bucks here or there

    i have a lot of extra tokens from buying points that getting the montly one is meh


    personally the only thing i really worry about are the yearly vet badges as i am coming up on my 6th year badge in about 2 months
  23. on my dark dark dom i have it in midnight grasp right now because i can get 100% proc rate and easily stack 3

    on my mind dom i currently have it in mass confuse, it always goes off usually but it was bad choice on my part because mass confuse has a really long rech

    i actually remember it being partially due to technical reasons, i believe when this was brought up a year or 2 ago it was stated it prolly wouldnt happen because it would require an immense amount of work because our powersets are essentially hardcoded with character creation so allowing us to change it would require an infeasable amount of work along with the balance reasons you mentioned
  25. when domination is active it adds that in addition to the regular amount not instead of the regular amount
