    Isn't that already covered under D?

    Thank you for making it.
  3. No matter what you say, PK,
    i expect to see you back someday.
    Perhaps not right away,
    and perhaps it won't be to stay,
    but you will come back to play.
    Even if it's just for the occasional day.
  4. X is +rec and +max end for many of my alts. Increasing maximum endurance generally helps more by the time i start slotting for set bonuses.

    -np
    i'm fairly confident it's not trolling per se. More like attention-seeking behavior due to a desperate need to be the center of attention. Most of their posts i've seen aren't really trolling, just nearly pure nonsensical opinionated fluff chattering.


    Terry Pratchett's sword, on the other hand, is awesome incarnate. i wish i could see it.

    Exactly.
    So, does that mean that 50% of us posting here so far read the patch notes?

    Is it worth pointing out that the OP was looking for an AT and sets capable of quickly handling a wide variety of tough enemies at high difficulty settings?

    Your example of an Empath built to farm a single mission using a specific NPC ally is almost the exact opposite of what the OP was inquiring about. Just sayin'...
  8. Amazing!

    This patch makes me feel all warm and squishy inside.

    No, wait...

    That's blood.

    Never mind.

    And to keep those handicapped from wandering about. That's why they'll have two half flights of stairs between the elevators that each connect to one floor above or below. (My brother's in a wheelchair, so the frequent flights of stairs required to access most of any floor tends to catch my attention.)

    Actually i just realized the true reason for the inconvenient design: not to stop the Rikti, who can easily teleport or run up and down stairs. No, it's to thwart the inevitable Dalek invasion.

    I think it's closer to Frankenstein in that a Doctor creates their "beast" through their own hubris, and even though the monster isn't evil, everyone still wants to kill it, including it's creator.
    In the original novel Frankenstein created his "beast" through rejection and abuse because of the appearance of his newly "born" "child". Hubris had far less to do with it than bad parenting.

    But then who reads old books with themes and morals that are slightly more nuanced than "risking the unknown, bad" anyway?

    Well then you should look up the hotel and see if they have a menu or price list online. The prices are whatever the hotel charges. Since this is a hotel New York City i can pretty much guarantee the prices will be a fair bit higher than anywhere but similar establishments in major cities. i know of a few inexpensive restaurants and bars in Manhattan, but they're mostly down in the Lower East Side area.
  13. Good news everyone!
    You people are wired weird.

    Excellent.

    i haz beefeh computer, and mai graficle card not sux. Still, i already appreciated that it would add mostly to the calculations the server has to do for every interaction between objects, so i have no intention of demanding it be done. Good $deity, a zone-capped mothership raid can already bring the server almost to its knees as it is.

  16. Ooh, where's Championess when we need her/him/it?
    If you're going to have doom rants it helps to season them with paranoid conspiracies based on utterly wrong assumptions that contradict available information about how game systems work.

    Day Job Orchestra!

    Also, i wish i'd thought of taking screenshots in the tutorial of my oldest alts. Oh well, a little too late now.

    Same here. While i prefer wireless mice in general i have no qualms about trying a corded gaming mouse if i find a bargain.

    Ah, if it was named REASON you'd be using a (somewhat beyond) fully automatic Gauss gun* capable of slicing cruisers in half. Of course you'd also need a large body of water in which to submerge the heat sink.

    Haven't fought the IDF yet, but the more i read about them the more i look forward to it.



    *Obviously it's a coilgun. A full auto railgun would quickly burn the rails away.
  20. Super Stunners are the Pikachus of CoH/V.
    Or something like that.
    Mostly because i get so much satisfaction out of beating them down and then sending them flying just to watch them get back up with a just enough health for me to beat them down again.

    Also because i find it easy to imagine them flying around going "Pika, pika! Pikaaaa-CHUU!" *ZOT*
    Hmmmmm, i wonder when they'll be added to AE?
  21. Fortunately this one went much better. To the point of pushing through the final bloom. Well done everyone.

    Only we are limited the Scrounger Swordsman, Rifle, and Blaster.


    And we can't use Rikti weapons.
    Actually from level 30 on you can select Rikti weapon powers and a full Rikti costume slot opens up, but the weapon powers are powered by inspirations. Each activation of a Rikti weapon power consumes one tier of the lowest and right-most inspiration in addition to endurance. Inspirations above tier one are reduced by one tier and tier one inspirations are deleted. If you have no inspirations the weapon powers can't be used.

    The Technical Issues & Bugs subforum is an even better place to post the info if you haven't already.
  24. Cap au Diable is the closest thing to a central hub and gathering place redside. Most costume contests and similar other events i've seen organized redside have been there, with a few held in Mercy.
