BTW, last mission of all red respecs is the same as 3rd mission of STF, nothing special about it.

[/ QUOTE ] Except that it's really lame...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, at least it doesn't have 30 mandatory minutes in the reactor of hero's respecs

If by overlapping PA you mean more than three decoys at a time, you can't do that. Any decoys you already have out automatically despawn when you cast PA again.

[/ QUOTE ]

I did not expect to be able to get more than three decoys at a time. If the recharge is fast enough, though, then I have room to play with when the time's almost up. If the PA drops for half a second, that's enough time that I could get blasted by an entire mob. By having it recharged before they go away, I can ensure that I don't have a lapse.

Does this still sound like a good plan, or is this over the top like Challenger?

And by the way, thanks for all the advice so far everyone.

[/ QUOTE ]

Even with overlapping PA you going to get aggro switched to you (for 1-3 seconds), when you recasting PA

Just because the AE became popular for farming, doesn't mean the devs will accept that. If they could delete every single farming mission and feature from the AE without hurting storytelling content, they most likely would.

Do what you want, just don't assume you're being backed up.

[/ QUOTE ]

They can just run a ban script to target any and all missions with "farm" in the title, temp ban the accounts for 3 days, pat themselves on the back and move on.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you really think that most farm mishs have "farm" in the title?

[/ QUOTE ]

It was sarcasm regarding how devs dealt with fast PLed toons.

So, why are the carebears moaning about this badge again?

I, surprisingly, don't really see anyone whining in this thread so far.

Allow me to start!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! PVP BADGES WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I HATES EM!

Everyone better now?

You forgot to mention how it *forces* you to PvP.

PvP badges kill the game!

If you ignore Broadcast channel in mercy you will have a pretty hard time finding a sewer team....all the other "spam" you speak belongs in Atlas and is just fine. Lvl 54 boss farm spam does not belong in a lvl 1-10 zone. Period.

I will have a pretty hard time finding a sewer team in Mercy even without ignoring broadcast

[ QUOTE ]
Ok, so can anyone give me a typical ill/rad build that's not too expensive (read: No purples) but has perma PA?

Perma AM would be nice too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Perma Hasten/AM much easier to achieve than perma PA. You only need around 77% global recharge with 3 slotted hasten to make hasten/AM perma. With 97.5% global recharge i have, recharge speed for PA is 61.9 sec (1.9 seconds downtime). And that build isn't cheap, it has 5 purple sets and 3 LotG 7.5

Details for next months Justice Bad Girls Night are in progress!

Possibilities:

All Girl (secret) Hami Raid (no walls to run into)
Naked (toon) TF

[/ QUOTE ]

You'll run into goo tho

[ QUOTE ]
Can you sit in the hospital zone for the five hours?

[/ QUOTE ]

This.

Enter Flashback or MArc TF mode, put your toon in hospital, go about your RL things.

[ QUOTE ]
The Respec Trial, Hero-side you mean? I've done the mid-20s and mid-30s, little need to do them again, actually no need to do them the first time except for the badge and the experience (non-numbers). I have so many vet-specs at this point, and I'm not one to respec much anyway. I spent my last one for the sole purpose of rearranging my enhancements.

Red-side, I haven't done them at all. Don't have the need there either, but I rarely see any teams forming up for one. The one red-side has a bad rep, so I hear, something about a psychic tree that can one-shot you for miles, and a race to kill off a bunch of thorns? I know CoT are involved. It sounds obnoxious to tell the truth, but like I said I've rarely seen announcements about one starting up, certainly never been asked (unlike blue-side, where I get asked once a week or so.)

Sorry to derail the thread.

[/ QUOTE ]

People often running all 3 red respecs back to back. Usually, it takes less than 1 hour to do all 3. BTW, last mission of all red respecs is the same as 3rd mission of STF, nothing special about it.

Glad you girls had a good time!!! I wish I could have made it but I was in hospital trying not to have this damn baby yet!!

If you girls organise another one I'd love to come along!

[/ QUOTE ]

here ya go noodle... the next best thing to being there:

everyone take a drink

the girls and their "admirers"


hope everything turns out well for you and the little noodle!

lol, 1st pics looks more like: girls were drunk and passed out than were defeated

[ QUOTE ]
I was under the impression that while it was possible on some small maps(like the map used in the Teen Phalanx arc), most maps were set up pretty specifically to disallow it. (For instance, so you can't make a big empty map with a single glowy for no-risk insta-win.)

I know I tried it on a generic warehouse map once and couldn't get all the enemies to disappear... Maybe I gave up too quickly.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've been able to hide all spawns on Demon's farm map, but I had 11 destructible objects, each of them was a trigger for separate conditional spawn

[ QUOTE ]
Well, the boss-in-ambush functionality is something I imagine we will get eventually, seeing how many people have requested it. Heck, the devs are probably already tossing around the occasional 'how could we make this work?'

An idea that we'll never be able to make, though? Yeah, I got one of those. An boss fight where players need to fight a stationary boss in a room with several turrets that have cone attacks - and the only thing that can hurt the boss are the turrets, so players have to get in-between the boss and a turret for the cone to hit the boss.

Stationary critters, custom models, custom attack scripting...yeah, not gonna happen. Ever.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think, Devs already have this functionalty in the game, it just wasn't exposed through MA editior. I remeber few red side missions where boss would ambush you, like Dr. Aeon when you destroy his mainframe, some of FP upon hostage kidnapping, etc.

[ QUOTE ]
About the controller part and her healing off the pets , well she can heal off all of them except for the Illusion pets. So ya get rid of all the pets except illusion ones.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know for sure. I heard that she cannot heal from ill pets, but I got impression, while doing MoSTF, that she does heal from them. After starting summoning both PA and ST, near me, I got impression that she wouldn't heal that much as having these pets near her.

Again, I have no proof to say for sure one way or another

The one exception to this is the Eden Task Force. There's a bug in it so that if the leader isn't 39-41, the TF won't start.

[/ QUOTE ] I thought they fixed that a long time ago.

[/ QUOTE ]

it wasn't fixed in i12, i don't know about i13-14

[ QUOTE ]
Usually I keep my diff at 4, so I'm fighting EBs rather than AVs, but there have been two exceptions - Johnny Sonata's Soul on my MM, and Terra on my Scrapper.

In both cases I'd levelled up during the mission before I fought them, so I did have a 1 level advantage. So my questions are:

Does that 1 level make that much of a difference?

And are these two particular AVs uncharacteristically weak/easy?

[/ QUOTE ]

The easiest AVs (as AV, not EB) for my ill/rad were Indigo and Black Swan.

[ QUOTE ]
My arcs meant for solo heroes to run at heroic. I'm wondering if it's going to be a wall-banger. I'll warn up fron in my descr, but, well, if sb doesnt read it and runs it at lvl 4...

Eco.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, maybe you want provide some ally. If someone has problem soloing it, they can get ally's help then. Only one problem I can see is that ally will be autoexed to player's level, while EB on diff 4 will be 2 levels higher

[ QUOTE ]
Im on a 50 en/en blaster. But its in one of my arcs, so Im wondering how other ATs will fare.

EDIT: I just tried some of them out, and I found the following to be fairly easy on my blaster with a full tray of inspirs:

Tyrant
Chimera
Neuron
Mother Mayhem

Not easy were:

Seige
Marauder
Dominatrix

and Diabolique was horrible. She was the only one who ran, btw.

Eco.

[/ QUOTE ]

Diabolique runs and phase shifts alot.

[ QUOTE ]
Does anyone have any opinion on which of the Praetorians are easiest to solo (as critters in the MA)?

Eco.

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess it depends on what AT/Powersets you going to solo with. I only have experience with ill/rad.

Here is my list from the easiest to the hardest:
Black Swan - 3.5 minutes,
Neuron,
Battle Maiden,
Infernal,
Marauder,
Chimera,
Tyrant,
Shadowhunter,
Bobcat,
Malaise,
Mother Mayhem,
Dominatrix,
Siege - 23 minutes,
Nightstar - 39 minutes,
Diabolique - 90 minutes

I've played my nrg blaster for awhile now. And never had a knockback complaint until today. I did the usual thing, hovered above while using aoe's, if I knocked a single target out of the pack I'd kill it. A kin on the team complained the whole mission until I nova'd a pack at about half health, and even though they all died they freaked out about scattering and quit.

[/ QUOTE ]

The kin you were teaming with sucked, don't play with them any more. KB whiners are wienies...they aren't even good to play with on a PuG.

[/ QUOTE ]

You should take into account that kin's powers like transfernce, transfusion and FS, have different mechanics than regular damage powers. While hit check works the same way for both - at the beginning of power activation, transfer of heals, endurance and damage buffs happens when power goes off. If during of activation time target(s) was/were blown away, then power is still going to hit target, but transfer won't happen.

[ QUOTE ]

...
Conversely, on the Controlled KB front, I've played with Sonic/ Defenders who were excellent about using Shockwave to knock spawns into a wall or corner to pile them up, PB's who were careful to NOT use Solar Flare in the middle of large spawns, and Herdicane'ers/Repulsion Field'ers who did a great job of piling mobs up together.

So:
Uncontrolled KB==suckage.
Controlled KB == good times

I usually bring Force Fields, but that means I usually bring a herd of Blasters as well.

I've only done the STF about five times. Last time we accidentally pulled Mako, Scirocco, AND Ghost Widow. I choose to believe the Force Fields are the reason why that wasn't a problem.

[/ QUOTE ]

Better yet, get shivans, veng and kill all 4 AVs in their pit at once

[/ QUOTE ]

You need shivans and Veng to pull that off? Just bring a Cold/ Def and you'll not need any gimmicks.

[/ QUOTE ]

True, but shivans + veng work for any team make up...

Could someone explain 'streakbreaker' more in depth please? =)

[/ QUOTE ]

You may want to look it up here Attack Mechanics

Another thing I noticed while getting shivans on my ill/rad troller, that you have to drop stealth, for little bit, to spawn guns on the top of base.
