  1. Level 47 minions con grey to a 50. Only the LTs and Bosses con green or better. Grey-conning enemies won't give drops, even if they give XP. Bump your level 47's difficulty up to 4 (for larger groups of level 48 enemies) and try again.
  2. Ew. No.

    I put Healing Flames on auto on a Fire Scrapper for about 10 minutes. It kept firing when I was at full, Then I got into a rough patch, hit HF, *buzz*, hit HF, *buzz*, DAMMIT HF NOW!, *buzz*, dead.

    Since then, I just keep it on my thumb button on my mouse.
  3. The ignore list size doesn't matter. By the time a spammer falls off your ignore list, they've been banned. The real problem is that the spammers push people that you've manually /ignored off the list.

    The vast majority of ISPs do not assign static IPs. You ban their IP and in 4-12 hours they'll automatically have a new IP, if they don't manually renew sooner. Eventually you've banned entire IP blocks, locking out legitimate players.
  4. That's crazy talk. Next you're gonna want to give people badges for climbing the statues or reading the plaques attached to them.

    Custom critters?

    Repaint? Not yet, but it's on the Training Room as a part of Issue 15, so soon.

    Seriously?

    I haven't had the time to get onto test this time around, maybe I need to go download the current patch and check things out.
  6. The OP didn't ask about moving default slots between servers, just empty "claimed" slots.

    When you claim a slot, a popup appears warning you that placing a slot is permanent and irreversible. I really doubt Customer Service will be allowed to move the slots.

    Just come back to Victory. Join "Victory Badges 2009" and/or "Victory Forum" and you should be able to find people most of the time, even in the wee hours on the morning.
  7. If I was a high-resist, no defense toon, I would *want* the team to boost my defense rather than resist. Medium levels of both is far better than high levels of one only.

    And yes, Tough is kinda lame by itself, but when stacking it with other things, it's worth it, if you have the end to run it.

    Dual Blades

    One bit of advice that's not immediately obvious to everyone: Before using either of your cones, let the previous animation end, step back (just a tiny bit), and then hit the cone. This only takes a half second once you get used to it, and has no significant impact on your combos or fury, but (for me at least) doubles the total damage of the cones, because more enemies are caught in them.
  9. Go to the Store.

    This is what you can get from the various boosters.
  10. Put a critter in the mission which only exists in the level range you want. It can be anywhere.

    For example, if you want the mission to be level 30+, find an enemy that exists in the 30+ range only. Then set it as an enemy, a boss fight, a hostage, an ally, whatever.

    Please note that it works both ways. If you choose an enemy that is 30-40, not only will the players be auto-SKed to 30, they'll be auto-exemped to 40 if they're above.
  11. I've recently posted a suggestion over in S&I which is desperately needed by all the new billionaires out there. Go show your support!

    I promise, it won't cost anything.

    /em throwmoney

    We have:
    /em throwrice
    /em throwpetals
    /em throwconfetti

    Now, for the marketeers, we need /em throwmoney. Ideally, there will be three versions: throwcoins which uses the rice "fall straight down" animation, and consists of a mix of copper and silver coins, throwbills which has green bills float down like the rose petals do, and throwmoney which mixes the two together at the same time.
  13. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the level adjustment from MA only apply when you're inside the mission, just like The Pilgrim's missions that set you to level 1 and 25?
  14. The mechanical reason that Widows don't get to customize is twofold:

    1> The projectile is part of a power, and we don't have power customization.
    2> The giant claw that pops out of the hand is part of the power, and we don't have power customization yet.

    Until we have power customization, these two parts will always match the default widow claw, and look dumb if we're given a different looking claw.

    And it was BAB that said giving the claws to scrappers/stalkers was a dumb move.

    Suggested by Players - Implemented by Devs - List



    There was also a newer list by AmazingMOO called “Things you've asked for and GOTTEN”, but the thread wasn’t marked to save & was deleted in one of the recent forum purges.

    [/ QUOTE ]Thanks for linking that. I've taken the liberty of wikifying it

    I see no mention so far in this thread, or that wiki link about the -Range debuff in Taunt.
  16. (QR)

    I have Field Crafter on one toon redside, and am working on it on another blueside. I have NO intention of getting it on anyone else. Adding this as an option would not give me any incentive.

    Personally (and maybe this should be a different thread), I think they should get rid of all the duplicate items that are functionally identical so that we have ONE vault, ONE crafting table, ONE desk, etc. Then, on the info window in the editor, add a drop-down menu with a list of skins. Then, for your crafting table, for example, you could choose "Arcane", "Tech" or "Whatever you call the Abandoned lab version", with an easy way to add more, without needing to bloat the database with "new" items that are really just a reskin.
  17. Jay's Costume Request Thread

    He reads every new post in that thread. He does NOT read costume requests elsewhere, at least according to posts he has made before.

    The Code of Conduct needs to be updated. Everyone using Wentworths and the Black Market needs to be punished for breaking the above rule otherwise.

    I was about to post something along the lines of "Not everyone has been here forever, some people may net realize that."

    Then I say the OP's registration date.

  20. Move your camera. You don't need line of sight for any power from the teleport pool, you just need to be able to click the target location.

    AS doesn't take interupt reducers.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This makes AS sets unnecessary. Any "AS set" would just be a melee set unusable by anyone but stalkers.

    ouroboros

    Mostly.

    Mission complete bonuses will come from the appropriate pool, but will scale to your real level, just as if you had taken a ticket or merit roll.

    But drops from enemies will be at their level, just like when exemplring to a friend.
  23. "Talsorian" is a reference to a real world PnP RPG designer.

    In-game, I believe it's the name of the scientist who created the monomolecular force fields that the weapons and shield are made of.

    "Talsorian" is specifically in reference to the energy-bladed weapons. That's why the Vanguard rifle has a different name.
  24. (QR)

    Once again, the simple rule is this:

    If its COMMON recipe drops are at level 50, it can drop purples.

    If its COMMON recipe drops are level 45 or lower, it will not drop purples.

    If it NEVER drops common recipes (Underling, pet, level 1-6 critter), it will not drop purples.
