    *shrug*

    Please post pre i16 screenie where Maria's mission is less than lvl 48 and spawning lvl48+ AVs

    Confirming again that Maria's Story Arc can be started at level 45 (did it on my controller), and confirmed again that even at level 45, Tyrant is still level 50 regardless (though he will become an Elite Boss if the difficulty isn't on the hardest and you're solo), and Statesman is a level 54 Archvillain instead of a Hero (and lacking Zeus' Lightning.

    Have no screenies, but AE lists appropriate ranges of all AVs... You would have to unlock praetorians though, unless you did it already
  5. Another thing to consider...
    If you don't kill LR fast enough after he summoned banes and left these banes alone, he will summon more of them as soon as his power has recharged. You may end up with LR surrounded by few spawns of banes very quickly.
  6. I don't know where you got minimum lever 48 from. Tina's AVs have minimum level 40. Maria's AVs have minimum level 45, with exception for Tyrant: his minimum level is 50.
  7. AFAIK, Tina's AVs have minimum level 40 and Maria's AVs are 45. One exception there is Tyrant, his minimum level is 50.

(I sure hope it doesn't trigger only when the power, i.e., the summoning part of it, is used.)
    According to mids it has 17% chance. It isn't triggered by timer but by attacks your bot doing.

    That waypoint to the door isn't very consistent. It may disappear under some circumstances.

    I had both RI and EF going. I think, the toggle debuffs prevent him only from early summoning, but, it seems, that 25% HP is the threshold where he is starting summoning banes no matter what. I saw that on STFs and when tried to solo him

    All dismissable pets will now zone with you, but will lose their buffs.
    It was related to all pets except MM's, IIRC. MM's pets should have retain buffs on zone

    Edit: from the same patchnotes:

    Masterminds

    • Pets will now zone with their Mastermind owner and will keep their buffs
  12. I had no problem soloing him on my ill/rad up to the point he summons his pets. After that I'm dead

    I think, LR starts to summon his pets around 25% HP left.

    P.S. Perma PA while is nice wouldn't help much. The moment you resummon PA, LR will be aggroed on you for 1-2 hits even with perma. The Banes he summons completely ignore PA and go after you.

    And "Mace in the Hole" is my first tank so I dunno if this is new or not - but my Iron Will is set to auto-fire - and it will only auto-fire if there are baddies nearby. Won't just keep firing & firing while standing around in WW.

    Is this true for ALL powers set to Auto-fire?

    Probably not Hasten, as you would want that firing all the time, not just in combat, but others?
    Auto-fire doesn't work if you have NPC selected like in WW/BM, contact, store, etc. As soon as you unslect that NPC, auto-fire will work again. This bug has been there for ahwile AFAIK.
  14. I have to try it. I have live Demon Ship, 0/8x/n/n. No FF or earthquakes there.

    Have you PM'd him with this thread link?
  16. I farmed last mission of "Alone in the Darque" arc for overseers. Setting it for 8x gives 25-35 overseers per map. You would have to reset it few times. Depending on your AT, you may also get great advancement of debt badges.

    Probably never. The first issue may well be 'working as intended' and the second isn't really a problem.
    They haven't done anything about the tower repairmen, or even acknowledged that it's a 'bug'. They have only acknowledged that their behavior changed due to a change to the enemy AI.
    Repairmen seem to be fixed in i16
  18. I don't know what weights are, but I once got 7 or 8 nucs in a row, from both hami raids and STFs. While I needed ribo at that time, I was more than happy these weren't cents.
  19. /Seconded.
    It will be probably wise to wait.

    Did it eat your reward like in the past?
    All my red hami crashes in the past (i think i had 3 or 4 of them) were associated with attempt to exit zone through ouroboro portal. All crashes and l00t losses stopped, after I started exiting through zone gate.
  21. I've been on KHTF last night and noticed that Mary MacComber is still level 34 on last wave. I haven't paid attention to what level she was on waves 2-9, but it is safe to assume that it was lvl 34 as well.

    Pre i16, Mary MacComber's level would progress from 34 to 37 on heroic, and from 37 to 39 on invincible.

    So, is it new bug or new WAI?
  22. Dear mods, please disable "Quote" button as well as formatting and cut and paste functionality for Choake. kkthxbye
  23. As stated in paragon wiki:

    "Though Ghost Widow is presented as an Archvillain, her Hit Points and attacks are more like those of a Boss-class ally."

    So, it isn't surprising that she's getting defeated while fighting against EB alone.

    On another note:
    I've never done these arcs while being below lvl 40, so I haven't been affected by Balista bug. I found this mission to be pretty easy while doing it on mind/fire dom, bane and fort.

    Infact, I dualboxed it and both my characters had 19 recipes with about 3-5 uncommon set recipes

    • Fixed bug was causing drop rates to be slightly too low.

Yeah, I recognize that's more of a mental disorder than a good buying strategy. But there are probably a lot of people like me out there that have to have the best that's available, no matter how trivial the difference.

    As far as advice goes though, yeah, don't buy level 50 recipes when you can buy upper 40 recipes. For that matter, I'm not sure if it's just a perception problem on my part, but it seems like you should also avoid any level divisible by 5, even when it isn't the max for the recipe.

    Not applicable to purples of course.
    I have the same mental disorder. Just the thinking that I lost 0.1% of something, makes me go only after highest level of particular set.
