    Slightly. Pet recharge is now fixed, it can't be sped up or slowed down.
  2. I found AE farms so boring I set a character on Follow, an attack on auto and went outside to do some sawing.

    plenty of vets are dumb, rude and annoying, plenty of newbs are smart, friendly and fun to team with.

    Judging someone by vet badges is as stupid as judging them by skin color or gender.
    Though they're not nearly as much an indicator as people think, a complete lack of vet badges is generally a good way to tell if someone's new to the game. They're nowhere near meaningless.
  4. I grew up on a farm.

    'low risk high rewards' is NOT the words I'd use, put it that way. At least it seems to be raining this year but my family's still going further into debt.

    As long as it also has:

    -Killmaim McScrapper did 345348 points of damage to enemies
    -Nukem Blastman did 2342342 points of damage to enemies
  6. It can be hard with Exploration badges since they don't seem to be arranged with any logic and all look the same.

    Serious Question

    Solo AVs. Do the RWZ Challenge. See how far you get venture into the Shadow Shard.

    If you want to challenge yourself, don't come crying about how they took away your 'challenge'. There's plenty of ridiculously hard self-imposed challenges in this game.

    Because it's in a sewer, not an office building?
    First, AE farms never happened on office maps and you know it.

    The sewers have absolutely none of the safety and ease that AE farms did. Lowbies are on their own without SKing, dying means a long trip back from the hospital, and teams have to learn to work together to survive. They're a proving ground where players learn the hard way, and surprisingly often have a lot of fun doing so.

    Yeah it's not the best situation, but its popularity isn't unfounded.

    I literally just started playing two days ago, and even I know that you can get multiple costume slots. o_O

    I realize there are a multitude of possible factors involved, and that I am in no position to judge this person...

    But I will say that what the person did (as in, flame someone for having a "special convention costume") is fairly ignorant, regardless of how they got to their level. Whether or not they're an "AE Baby" is a moot point. Even not knowing you can have multiple costume slots can be forgiven. The real stupidity (and the main point of this story) lies in the fact that the player in question chose to flame someone over a costume. o_o
    Exactly. People only complain when ignorance is combined with arrogance and rudeness.
  10. There's also the Hollows. Though well, even after the improvements it's still The Hollows.
  11. You should write for Cracked.
  12. I don't think that's the reasoning, but that it would be a lot of probably unnecessary work to add female pet models, and given that the pet model is chosen randomly every time you summon them, your pet named 'Charlie' might become a woman next time you summon it.

    The title reminds me of Ghost Squad.
  13. Why not have both Conserve Power and PP? The more the better.
  14. While all the other AT forums are busy complaining, the Scrappers are coming up with deadlier and deadlier builds.
  15. In another thread I had a fleshed out idea for a Pulse Rifle powerset. The tier 9 is a wave motion gun, and the tier 8 may be the Sapper gun.
  16. And depending where you look on the market, IOs can be easy to get. Some sets are very cheap, while generic IOs from people getting the crafting badges will flood it every now and then.

    I assume you mean the new Shield Defense powerset that was introduced an issue or two ago. It's available to Scrappers, Tankers and Brutes, though not combatible with all powersets for animation reasons. (specifically; Dual Blades, Katana, Spines and Claws)

    No vet badges means they're filthy MA exploiters who should be insulted and shunned so you can build up your street cred with the "cool kids".


    /sarcasm
    Only if they're playing Kheldians.
  19. For starts, you might want to set your text to not be so small and dark, it's hard to read.
  20. You really should specify what country you're in. I hear in Brazil you're stuck with a pretty poor online service.
  21. I got a purple last week on a 7-man team. I dunno, random number god?
  22. The Rikti built Easter Island.
  23. You seem new. You should know that in this game (and most others), the build doesn't really matter nearly as much as the person controlling it. The most twinked out, overpowered build in the game isn't going to do any good to someone who doesn't know how to use it.

    And on teams, don't count on being the center of attention. You might find a few Defenders can make everyone else on the team nigh invulnerable and unstoppable.
