It also confuses the game client, so your power icons don't show recharge states properly--you can see when a power really recharges if you watch the combat channel.
    Yeah, server lag was so bad, that once summoned PA stayed out for more than 5 minutes.

    It is new TF introduced in i15. 20 merits, levels 45-50

    It can be done in less than 30 minutes with fairly good team and
    under 20 minutes with very good team.


    Other good options are (given that team is good and everybody know what to do):
    ITF - 26 merits, under 30 minutes.
    LGTF - 37 merits, under 30 minutes.
    Hess - 19 merits, under 25 minutes.

    It makes sense, if orange tower grants hardcapped 175% def to ALL. You have only 5% to-hit chance with Mass Hypnosis.

    The easy way to test this would be to run the STF as normal and try to sleep LR... if you're able to hit him reliably then your question is answered. Frankly I'd be a little surprised if it worked myself but the old saying about 10 reasoned arguments and one case of actually finding out applies here.
    All Mind Control attacks are nonpositional.

    According to paragonwiki http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Statesman%27s_TF, Orange tower gives 200% Def(ALL) buff.
    Orange SW of Recluse Dispersion Bubble Real +200% DEF(All) (hardcapped at 175%), +17.7 Protection(Hold, Immobilize, Disorient)

    You mixing two different things:

    1/1500 - 1/3000: kills
    1/140: recipe drops

    Wasn't OP complaining about Fortune Buffs?

    If it was regarding regular buffs, then ...WOW!...

    It seems they used different strategy than us: looks like they were taking down yellows and blues at the same time while ignoring greens.

    You are already getting explicit asking in form of accept/decline dialog. Asking permission through chat will be redundant.

    As for myself, I'd love to have option Always Accept/Always Decline/Prompt. And for me it will be set to "Always Accept"

    Yes, if mobs are level47+ and don't con gray to you

    Maybe a regular earned respec works differently (which seems silly to me), or maybe Mac and Fleeting are thinking of how to level up the Dual-build.. but I'm not getting the same results they describe.
    IIRC, I had similar experience with VEATs respec at level 50. Branches were available from the beginning.

I'm wondering though if this is likely to get me generic'd for violating the code of conduct. Anyone know?
    My friend had toon with Sweetleaf in the name. While it can reference tea or tobacco, besides drugs, it was gen'd nevertheless.

    I'd rather seeing them fix pet recharge first.

    Looks like the spawn rules were changed. When I ran it few months ago, I had 2 PPEs in every group, IIRC. 3rd mission would give me 45+ PPEs back then.

    I don't know what spawn rules are for Creys. I've never ran it at x4. You probably can try it yourself and see if you getting PPEs in every group.

    I ran Viridian's arc last nite set for x6 and had PPE in every spawn in 4th mission though. If these spawn rules for Creys apply to "Escaped!" arc, then you may consider running it at x6.

    For me personally, it will be the least of concerns But I'll give you that: many people are probably attached to their SG name, and would be extremely PO'd if they would have to change it.

    I think, you missed my point. I didn't suggest to recreate SG with the same name. I wanted devs make SG global and accessible from every server.
  23. Don't move SG... Make it cross-server. Problem solved.

    All my toons have SS and most have Stealth IO in Sprint. For me running 99.99% of TFs for speed it is no brainier.

    NR's idle stance looks just creepy. Are they trying to pick your pockets or look up-skirt? Do they have seizure?
