    Villain. Now, if you had started villain you could get them as a Rogue. But since you're a hero, you're going Hero->Vigilante->Villain, then you have to go Villain->Rogue->Hero to get to be a bluesider again.

    Spring Attack

    I took it on a new SS/Fire brute for spits & gurgles. I didn't think I'd like it but I do. Well, I like it with a healthy amount of Fury & Rage.
  3. Liberty does this to me. Haven't tried all the servers.
  4. If it has defense/resist then power boost should not affect it.
  5. Did the mission as a Vigilante from Carson in Founder's Falls. Did not receive the costume slot unlock as a reward.

  7. I'd love it if we had an option for more of an experience boost as a reward for doing TFs and trials. I know I probably wouldn't farm as much if regular content gave me an option (and yes, I know about WSTs) to help level my characters a bit faster.
  8. I'm one of those that likes to log all their chat for various reasons. Sometimes it's so I can remind myself to do things. Sometimes it's to keep track of drops. Sometimes it's because people are jerks and I like to have a record of that.

    In Beta, and now on Live, my chat logs were not saving correctly. Sometimes they either would not save at all (and yes, I double-checked to make sure the options were set correctly) or else they would overwrite logs from previous dates. For example I found that my log from 9-13-11 was actually writing in the log file from 9-8-11.

    This is now happening on Live for me as well.

    Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm wondering if it has something to do with my settings in Windows 7. If I had another keyboard I'd hook my old PC back up and see if it does it on Windows XP too.
  9. You earned every last one of those z's, Zwill.

    Zwill, I wish they'd give you either a raise or another day off, you've earned it. You're not the only one that has, but you know what I mean.

    Facts on MARTy

    I'm not mad at the MARTy thing at all in the way it's designed. I do want to test it doing things like +4/x8 ITFs and things along those lines.

    If you haven't already and you're worried about MARTy, check out today's UStream (the first part). Posi & Zwill talk about MARTy and give some very good explanations.

    I'm fairly certain it's done to prevent the now-standard "fire trigger farm" that a decent farmer can clear, with bosses, in less than 5 minutes. Some in less than 2 minutes.

    Well, I think it's a valid question. I did testing on the Beta and found that my rewards were throttled while solo fighting mobs at +4/x8.

    I'm perfectly fine with this, assuming it doesn't turn out to be, "Hey! You're cheating! We're going to ban you now!" when you use AE in this fashion still. I do not know if it will throttle when you have 2 or more people on the map, though. Presumably (hopefully!) it will.
  14. I thought something like this was going on when I was testing some popular maps in AE. At first I had thought that they had placed a cap on the total amount of influence & prestige one could earn in AE. I found out differently when I let my buffs run out one time beforehand so I could take screenshots, disturbing my normal rhythm. I received a lot more rewards on that time.

    I was unable to get a group of players together to test normal content or various AE missions. However, defeating absolute hordes of enemies at +4/x8 whilst solo definitely set off Marty.

    Is that the same type of 'whoa' one would use if Ronald Reagan and Keanu Reeves came busting through your front yard, broke into your house, came out back and you see Reagan hurl your poor dog at Reeves, Reeves catches then PUNTS the dog.... there's all kinds of grammar rules I'm breaking with that, but I don't care.



    Not after this.
  16. It's a bug. You can still take it at 44, there's some work-around.... let me open it up and see. I don't know why I'm giving you the play-by-play here since I'm typing and not talking on the phone or something. I'm just weird like that.

    Okay, what I did was pick up Ice Blast, then Frozen Armor, then took off Ice Blast, and then put it back. Frozen Armor wasn't "redded" out anymore. Odd, but there ya go.

    Yes. Synthetics do as well.

    Maybe you're between missions in a PUG. Perhaps someone on the TF had to run out to see what the dog is barking at or get a phone call. Whatever. But real life usually provides a few breaks here and there between beating up Hellions, you know?

    Does anyone exercise during this time? And if so, what works for you?
    I thought I was the only person that did this. If I'm solo I'll do about 50 situps or pushups between missions. When I'm grouped I tend to just use a small dumbbell and do a few reps while on the loading screen.

    I've run through a standard fire farm a few times, and tried other mobs as well (both custom and standard issue... Battle Maiden's mobs & Freakshow) and it came up with the same limits. Ticket drops seem unaffected.

    Farm Reviews

    Yes, undocumented as far as I know. I reported it as a bug. If I remember correctly the limits were 2.2m influence and 5k prestige. Those are estimates, though.

    I have not been able to test XP in AE in the beta though, due to another bug. I guess I could always try to CEBR it or something though.

    I have to admit I'm not thrilled with the premise of this thread (trolling is still trolling, after all) but have you seen the change (possibly a bug) in the beta? Missions no longer continue rewarding influence and prestige after a point. I doubt this is to 'slow down' farmers at all since it doesn't address that issue at all... but I know I'd be really angry if I went through some of the more challenging arcs out there and stopped receiving rewards halfway through a mission.

    Especially if I had paid for the AE license.
  22. I dislike playing as/with Kheldians. I know they add to the team (and Warshades get some darned cool powers!) but I absolutely hate the animations and sounds they produce. I could mention the knockback, but most seem to have mastered the use of it now... rarely do I find one just scattering mobs for the heck of it anymore.
