    Hmmm, I knew I was coming up on 48 and while I really enjoy the others, it seems like something may be going wrong here.....

    I don't want to get attached to them if they'll be taken away, but I thought I'd bring it up just in case
    There is a post in the commnity digest about this. From what I under stand, go ahead and get attached. They changed the vet system's back end.

    If well done, yeah - while I thought the shoes were an odd choice, the tony hawk phone was okay (but I already have an iPhone, not about to "cross-grade") but both, using the optable ad system in game, looked pretty good. Food, snax, maybe get PAX and and them advertise specials for their conventions/goodies/etc on them?

    Have you tried forcing them to watch you sing songs like "I'm a little tea pot" and "YMCA"*? (*Note, YMCA might not work in your workplace :P)

    Having stuff exclusive for cons? Go for it. But please make some stuff available for web-store buying - wearables especially (hats, shirts, bookbags?)

    Power slide is the result of a bug, IIRC

    Yeah - that's there to prevent things like a blinded player using it to attack things he cannot see, etc.

    Spectral Terror is rooted in place. But it recharges quickly.
    Phantom Army, while unkillable, is also somewhat short duration, making many Ill/ controllers end up slotting and IOing out for recharge.

    (Will also point out it's my least favourite controller set. Can't stand the thing.)

    As for the OP -
    The MM sets play differently. Bots/Traps has been around a while. All the pets are ranged (though they seem to like running in to swat at things.) By comparison, Ninja is more melee-oriented. Most of the others have some mix. Personally, my most played/favourite are thugs/poison and my necro/poison.
    To be fair, Phantasm does spawn decoys - which cannot be killed.

    Also, the on thing I find about Necromancy MMs is if you don't have a heal (AOE, so far I've had a AOE and a No Heal Necro/, so not sure how even just a single target heal improves this) is Necro/ feels kinda squishy until the last upgrade when they all get some form of Siphon Life.

    ED kicks in on the total granted enhancement buff from all enhancements before it the total bonus is applied.

    It does not matter what kind of enhancements they are.

    Have you looked up how IOs work? Set bonuses are not enhancement bonuses to a specific power - as such they don't suffer ED, and can help you soft cap your defense.

    It would be cool if they could make explore badges that were dynamic like that.

    However, if you get hit by some super-Rikti doing 5000 smashing and 5000 energy, you're out of luck.
    Actually, I think as long as it is in one "dose" the code works. So something with mixed damage will still leave you with 1 hp. It's dots that tend to get you.

    Origin Powersets

I'm pretty sure people have worked around origins before regardless of what they picked I don't see why it would be so hard to do it now.
    Munitions Master has missiles.
  10. Avetea, perhaps? Didn't she go as well?

    List a powerset that should be tied to a specific origin. Then see if we can't make it work forall five some how. The only sets to me that make sense restricting to origin are epic (aka story-tied) powersets.
  13. quick note about costumes and binds - they start counting with 0, so costumes 1-5 is represented by 0-4 for binds/slash commands.
  14. Sorry about that, been a while since I e tried the stealth + CD combo, if ever. Last time I rolled a devices I got the io by chance.
  15. So if you want to/have the chance to get a bunch of cards for cheap, you can load them all up at once and not lose any time.

    The only thing where you might lose time is if you have a "game" card, which gives the 30-day jetpack - that is always 30 days from the entering the last code that gave it to you.

    Just one thing - another nice thing besides the fear procs, is it has a half-decent to-hit debuff. 5% for a scrapper.

    To expand - there are basically two levels of stealth powers in this game.

    "I can get closer" and "You can't see me*" - Cloaking Device is of the former. However, you can combine it with pretty much any other stealth power and get the latter. There is Stealth from the concelment power pool, Super Speed from the Speed power pool also has stealth, and if none of those powers appeal to you, with the inventions system there are four IOs - one each for Running, Jumping (sprint, which everyone has, is both of those), Flying, and Teleport powers - that grant stealth to you (Again, "I can get closer") when the power they are slotted in is used and for 120s afterwords. (Those types are usually called 120s or proc120s.).

    I think I've seen people use it on tough AVs. They last long enough for it to go off.

    Or you might not be saying something way off, just out of context. There is a difference between "Feel Pain" like "feel the texture of that fabric" and "Feel pain" - EXPERIENCE pain.
  19. Yeah, everywhere but the slash command it refers to it as leap XD
  20. Note - alt codes can/do vary between OS's

    yeah - the enhancement counts for set bonuses if someone of your combat level could slot it. Exception : Purples and PvP IOs, but that's it.

    The trial restrictions could've been done better, and I'm sorry you're having trouble finding people to play with. The kicker is that all of the best methods for finding teams are not available to people on trial accounts, which leads them to think that the teams aren't there to be found.
    Also - if someone sends you a tell, you can try either a) replying in /hc (the help channel) or b) asking someone in /hc to send a tell on your behalf (mention you are on a trial account).
  23. The worst thing about PP MoG is that to do the low health trick, they heal then take a large amount of self damage thus stealing your XP.
  24. Technically (except for recharge on some few powers) no vet or booster powers are affected by outside buffs. This, techincally, includes yellows - however yellows boost your to-hit(which is then modified by the powers accuracy), not accuracy. No surehow the game applies global accuracy bonus and how that interacts with the powers like the Vet attacks and self-destruct.
  25. After a long hard day, a nice cold drink (or two) seemed like a good idea to the Ocho.

    Turns out, his favorite place had a new bartender - it was the old hero, Cyrus "The Grudge" McMean. Ocho's old high school English teacher.

    Who Ocho had superglued to his chair.
