Yeah, that RWZ mission is the one I meant when I warned you about EBs later. That mission can be soloed but it's tough, and it helps if you know what to expect. You need to use tactics, and lots of inspirations or a very powerful character.

Hehe, that happened to me with a McDonald's prize, one of those ones you peel off the cup. The question wasn't as simple as Zombie Man's, it had some addition, subtraction and multiplication, but still not overly difficult. I got it wrong and they still gave me the free burger or whatever it was. The funniest part was this was right after I finished a 3 hour Calculus exam, which I aced.

I've got a blaster, a stalker or a couple of brutes I can bring. Normally, Friday, Saturday or Sunday are when I can make it, but not this weekend. I'll be out of town this weekend.

I think the Ski Lodge is open isn't it? If you have any candy canes, or are willing to buy some you could get that rez power now.

Looks like the two options have already been covered. I use both myself.

I try to keep the basic binds the same for all of my characters so I saved my preferred binds to default. That way they all start out the same way. For example, all of them have shift+e bound for autorun instead of just e, or whatever it normally is. I also have mouse buttons 4 and 5 bound for custom targetting. Then I add binds for powers the character uses as needed, and for some characters, especially Masterminds, I use a bind file that I load.

I also saved default window and chat settings. It makes it much easier to set up a new character. I just wish there was a way to load multiple macros at once. For Macros and Popmenus I just copy and paste them from a notepad file.

Congrats NAR! I still don't know how you got through writing the dialog for this and your other Becky arcs with out going insane. Assuming you did of course.

Anther reason the mid level IOs are so expensive is rarity. Lots of people play at 50 and generate new stock, but not many people post IOs at 30 for example. They may post some but then they continue to level and that's it. This is why I always roll all the merits a character accumulates at 32 to get IOs my characters can use. Then I sell off the ones I don't need. I haven't stopped a character at 32 to keep generating recipes yet, but I am considering it.

I always slot level 32s unless I'm frankenslotting, or the enhancement doesn't matter. Then I slot 50s or the lowest possible, respectively. I used to slot 33-35s but switched to 32s for Ouro arcs that exemp you to 29. Of course since I rarely use Ouro for that, I could probably change, but I'm not sure I want to use anything much lower.

I'm not sure of the exact % of enhancement lost, and can't check right now, but level 32s are nearly always enough. If it's not I can usually add an extra IO or two from another set to bring it up. For example I can slot 4 Kinetic combat for the +s/l defense, and then frankenslot 2 other IOs to bring the enhancement numbers up to where I want.

The worst sets I've seen for this is Makos bite or the other melee set for defense, I forget the name. At level 32 a full set of 6 only gives 40% accuracy, but as mentioned accuracy set bonuses usually make up the difference.

Sorry to hear that Ukase. 32 months ago, I started playing this game a month before my job at the time ended. It didn't help with the job search that's for sure. Though that may have contributed to getting my first 50 and many alts, including a level 40 in the first 3 months.

Recall Friend on stalkers is great, especially defense based stalkers. Capped stealth, plus softcapped defense means even Ritkti drones are no problem. All of my stalker builds try to fit it in as soon as possible.

Wow, that profanity filter change sounds ridiculous. I wonder what they were thinking with that? Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Oh, and have fun on vacation.

I only played on Sunday, so I didn't get nearly as much done, but I got a total of 19 levels. My main goals were to get my Ill/Sonic troller over 45 so I could use him on high level TFs, and level my Widow to 24 so I could switch her to Fortunata. I managed to get both done.

I got the controller from 44 to 47, allowing me to slot the Numina proc. That and the Miracle should hopefully help with his end use issues. The Widow I got from 20 to 27, and am loving the Fort build now. I also managed to get some levels on my Warshade. I think it's been over a year since I actually played this character. I got him from 14 to 23 over the course of Posi 1 and 2.

Downloading a 44 MB patch, sadly it's probably just this from test. Though there some good fixes in there too. It's just that fixes aren't as exciting as the rest of the Alpha slot.

Hazy is right, I was on a TF so I missed it. I did offer Ronin One Meeellion inf for it but he didn't deign to respond.

You get a third build now too, but I think you have to do the incarnate arc first.

We had 74 deaths in, I think it was, about 1:30. It was a good time, thanks for running it Valor. I hope to be there for the next one.

Interestingly, the 74 deaths was quite a bit higher than the first all Assault Rifle ITF, even though that one had 7 blasters and one corr, and this one had fenders, blasters, and 2 VEATS.

I should be able to make it for Sunday afternoon. I guess I'll have to make a western costume.

The Tarikoss SF and the Katie TF both trigger zombie invasions when completed. I think they have since last fall at least, possibly longer.

The 10 million bullet ITF was tons of fun. If this happens on a weekend I'll join. I moved my AR/Dev off server and my DP/nrg isn't 35 yet, but I can bring a huntsman.

Hmm, just remembered, we're doing renovations this weekend, but I might be available in the evenings, or on Sunday. Otherwise, I'm free for the next few weekends for sure.

I wonder if I can put a brown trench coat over my Soldier costume?
