I vaguely recall something about the PvP zones being slightly different than normal non-PvP zones, but don't remember what. Otherwise, all zones are the same.

If you were still using DOs and SOs, then there is a consideration. The enemy groups drop specific origin enhancements. Thus, if you're relying on drops for your slotting, then you might want to seek out the appropriate enemy group to have a better chance of getting an enhancement you can use.

Eh. My first computer was my college's required purchase of the DEC Professional 350. There weren't many games for it. The only thing I had was Pac Man clone called DEC-Man and (I guess) a port of the game Empire.

I loved Empire. I was an addict and Empire was my drug. Truly, I don't know how I graduated. I played it well after I got out of school. What finally broke me away from Empire was Civilization on my 286 PC. Yeah, Civ was an even harder drug. I learned how long I could hold off without peeing.

General advice for controllers:

- NEVER start off with the AOE immob, that will get you killed! Especially if you're in plain sight. If you must use the AOE immob as a starter, always do it while you're behind a corner and then let someone else go in first to take the alpha strike.
- ALWAYS start with something that will immediately incapacitate as many in the spawn group as possible. In your case, the sleep patch Static Field or the AOE hold Paralyzing Blast. In a pinch, Jolting Chain is ok too.
- after the spawn group has been put out of action, then you can approach and do your other stuff (AOE immob, debuffs, heals, etc.)
- double immob the boss so he doesn't bother you.

Oh, and since you are Electric control, make sure you have your Conductive Aura on. It cost no endurance to have on and it will sap the endurance of every enemy around you while refilling your own endurance. Of course, you need to stay in melee for this to work, but you should be safe. Used in conjunction with Static Field, you should have everyone around you drained in a few seconds (after you've slotted them out). And because Kinetics is a melee set too, this combo has good synergy. Once you've practiced a bit, you will not have to worry about getting hurt.

I wasn't clear. I was talking about beating up the Clockwork King without the special hold power.

The King is a relative push over as a low level AV and frankly, I feel that he must have been nerfed a bit at some point. The King just seem too easy nowadays. Babbage, on the other hand, is really tough without a kinetics and several dps-ers. An additional debuffer helps too. If your team makeup includes these, then you could take Babbage down without a call out for help. I've been on a couple teams that have done it.

After the second warehouse mission, you get a fedex mission to Positron to get the special hold temp power to use on the King. Babbage is the ambush for it. You don't really need to use the temp power, though, especially if you have a full team beating on him. The last time the King proved to be difficult for me was way back in the old days when the Synapse TF could take 3-4 hours and the team might be down to 3 members, including myself, by the time we got to him.

Ultimus, just curious because you haven't replied to the above, are you already in an SG (I'm assuming a personal one) and have you already been playing in SG mode for a while? Some of the fancier items require you to have unlocked SG badges by racking up quotas while in SG mode.

Are those real shin-high boots or are the jeans just short?

Also, do you think you can fit in a ripped, blue tarp cape?

I have a screenshot illustration too (that I used to answer an old post):

I had to bring up this Psychoti post about his banning in another game.

If you need Inf, mention your @global name and someone will email some to you. If you want to have more than that without farming, visit the Market board.

Of the many times I've run the Blockbuster Event, the only time I've seen the AVs run and jump around was on a team of 2 Brutes, 1 Scrapper, and me as an Ice/Rad Corruptor. None of us had any Immob powers.

Of course when I play my Traps characters, I'm always spamming Web Grenade for the -recharge anyway, so I haven't noticed any problems with Acid Mortar.

Here's a liquid networth survey thread from earlier this year.

You can check out Snow Globe's illustrated TPN guide.

I've had this happen before. It cleared up when I dropped back to the log in screen to re-log in.

I remember checking out that second video after the contest ended at the time. I vaguely recall it got ranked an honorable mention. Is that correct? Does anyone remember? I never got around to looking up the first video, though.

How did you come up with the +22% tohit requirement? (I wasn't around to view the twitch.tv conference.)

Was it some sort of inside joke to make the Calibrated Accuracy IO set to appear to be even more stupid?
