On the plus side that pop-up has made it possible for South Americans to acquire Going Rogue for their accounts.

Who is this "all of us" you refer to in that sentence? The majority of players don't pvp, so you're obviously not talking about the playerbase as a whole. Not convinced that working on a feature that a rather small percentage of players use will be significant to the future of the product.

That said, i would like to see some changes made to pvp mechanics. Making pvp closer to pve again would be a nice change in my opinion. While i've never been a regular pvper i did like it more prior to the i13 mechanics.

Months back in Beta i had tips dropping from level 1 Longbow when using Ouroboros on my Elec/Elec Dom to run Breakout and /bugged it then. i can only guess it's working as intended regardless of how the patch notes are phrased.

The Almighty Tallest knows that the Irken Armada is not so easily stopped.
*thud*
Never mind, i guess they are.

Because enemy hp and damage scales up even faster.

It seems to me that maybe the "grief" threshold is set lower or the triggering is faster than it used to be. Oddly enough i've recently noticed this much more at lower levels when player debuffs and defenses are weaker.

i'd tend to guess the latter all things considered.

Yeah, i tend to complain when people write without spaces.

Maybe it was created as the conceptual opposite of Ninja Run?
Instead being a power that almost everyone finds useful, it's a power that almost everyone finds useless.

i know i've tried to make it useful, but even when using it for resting i'm usually almost back to full health and endurance by the time it takes effect.

As for patrols, well, if i know about a patrol far enough in advance to use it it's at least as easy to just move out of the patrol's path. Ambushes of course ignore its use entirely.

My wild, unfounded speculation is that there may be some mechanic/scenario in the upcoming Incarnate content that makes it useful.

Has anyone who chats with the Devs heard anything regarding what use this power is intended to have beyond being a particularly slow activating emote/visual effect? Arcanaville? Anyone?

Since it has a five minute duration and a ten minute recharge it's only good for fairly brief AFKs.

(More) Flexible about rooting? Explain please.

Interesting. Elevating her to the level of being a patron would not work with current game lore, but that doesn't mean they couldn't create some other whip-granting patron.

Animated to work on a specific model with the size and geometry known in advance. The sheer assortment of sizes and shapes for critters and characters in the game is something else entirely.

Overlooked that.
*huh*
Was going to say that i've never had that issue myself, but then i remembered that i normally run Vent through my headset and CoX through the speakers, so i haven't had to deal with that issue.

Somehow... i have doubts. Possibly slight, possibly niggling, possibly inconsequential doubts, but i have to say that about this particular detail i do have some doubts.

As for the rest of the goings-on in this thread i really have nothing to say. i saw the incident that inspired this thread after the fact (was busy on a TF and not paying attention to the global chatter when it happened), but have no interest in getting involved.

Hell, i'm not even getting popcorn.

Hopefully those who can't see eye to eye will at least agree to attempt to play nice when it's some sort of public event that requires cooperation among players. Anything more than that is gravy.

Was it a particularly prurient typo?

Anyway, i had the "log in with Kalinda as a contact, self destruct in Precinct 5, click go to hospital, get sent to Mercy, bounced back to Nova Praetoria and be unable to finish tutorial" bug last week. Finally got a definitive answer Monday that there was no way to send me back to Precinct 5, so i'd just have to continue in Nova. Ah well, i wanted the Avid Reader badge, so i'll probably just remake him.

The other day i couldn't get Avid Reader apparently because the guy that gives it died in the Ghoul assault. At least after it was over he was nowhere to be found.

Fire/FF Controller seems to be fairly rare and can be quite effective with a number of interesting synergies.

i have an Earth/TA Controller in the 40's who is very effective at layering soft controls and debuffs to the point of neutering most enemies.

i've been considering trying an Elec/Rad Corruptor, and i don't recall seeing many of those or the Defender equivalent.

Aren't there two sliders in the options menu that allow you to adjust the volume of game music and sounds?

Nyx Thorn is now 25 and a full hero.

The last time i read it he'd restarted it with most of the characters in an MMO. No idea where it's at now. i should go look it up.

On topic comment i meant to post and then forgot to add when reminded of Elf Only Inn: Love that mission briefing! Obviously i got too caught up in testing Praetoria, because many of the alignment missions are new to me, and they're all interesting and entertaining.

Try using Villain EAT. VEATs have no special enemies or any real downside besides being a bit squishy in the lower levels. Overall VEATs have generally been considered borderline OP by the midgame and just plain insane in the late game. Like HEATs they do best on teams, but VEATs do it by boosting the rest of the team.

i laughed so hard that tears were shed.

This was one of my first thoughts as well.

Ooh, i like this build. Quite different from the one i've been working on for my Crab. Definitely food for thought.

Really, i'd rather that Toy Bat replaced Shadowy Presence. Especially if it made a 'Bwoing!' noise.

"That's no exhaust port..."
"It's mooning us!"

i think pretty much all interactions using global names require the @ symbol in front of the name. It's the only way to distinguish them from local names.
