    Ultra Mode & SLi

    Tried it recently, both using that -slifbos 2 parameter and forcing SLI AFR in the Nvidia Control Panel. Forcing AFR in the NCP caused everything to flash down the split and the parameter didn't seem to do a damn thing.
  4. Anyone trying to get on at this time either needs a job, or should stop skiving and get back to school.

    I could not have done it without my team leaders who led their teams at the task. So thank you Sarge, Hana Li, Sexy Kane, Seph, Fire of the Phoenix, Nightshade and Soul Storm. And thank you who attended, this raid would not have been possible if you had not joined in.

    Next up is to find a new date for another raid and adding things to the guide.
    Well done Union
    Ooooooooh yeeeeeeeaaaah!
  10. Just found it by accident, click the scales on any one of your posts. 58 here, rawr!
  11. No idea, I prefer red to green anyway, too much green around here.
  12. Can do those dates with no trouble, see ya then!
  13. I'm hardly irrational, I just wish all Kinetics players were as good as me, either that or they should just stop playing.

    Email Limitation

    No idea where the number 40 came from then, gonna have a look at the error message that popped up when I tried to send myself some more goodies in the mail.

    Email Limitation

    Well, I'm pretty sure I've got 40 EoEs sat in my mail currently, I'll have to check when I get home.

    1. 40 before you can't send ANYTHING else.
    2. *shrugs* see above.
    3. Haven't had long enough to tell, I've got a bunch of EoEs sat in my mail currently, been there for about a week so far.

I don't expect people to be about everynight but itll be nice to get this "out of the way" and part of our past asap.

    Edit: Just dawned on me that there is a time limit with the temp powah vs Aeon. To resume is to restart. Oh well, gonna need to do the Aeon mish before any breaks.
    Well, that's a ballache. And as for me not being able to play for ages each night, replace me if you need to.

    Can you make a character which does not actually need or really benefit from the good parts of speed boost? Yes.
    No, it's a fantastic buff which everyone should take. From many, many years of playing, I've only ever seen one Kinetic Defender without it, who promptly got a kick. Most people without it from what I've seen were Fire/Kin Controllers, which are all farmers.

    Is the +recharge nice? Hell yes.

    Is the +recovery nice? Hell yes.

    Is the +speed nice? Hell yes, even better when you see morons with no control run head first into walls.

    Now, I'm all for building a character to be super-awesome-efficient and cool, but I'm NOT spending multi-billions on stupidly expensive sets, picking up Hasten with horrible graphics, or 6-slotting Stamina; when I can just get Speed Boost from the wonderful team Kinetics player.
  19. Once again, Speed Boost is a wonderful buff and if you don't take it, then you're a terrible person and should just stop playing.
  20. Muscowequan, Spines/Regen/Body Scrapper over on Defiant. Needs something poisony, or more regeneration and recovery!

But for heroes, there's the perceived notion that you 'must' have the same powers as everyone else with the powerset, and that all powersets must have the same type of power.

    I see sonic defenders getting booted from teams because they can't heal, but the leader doesn't notice the blasters are *not* dying. Just the sonic defender who has the lowest damage resistance on the team.

    I see force field defenders getting booted because they can't heal, nevermind the enemy can't actually hit the team.

    I see Trick Arrow defenders who get booted for being 'useless'. Heck, in some teams I got told flat out to stop using the following powers due to them being 'useless: Poison Gas Arrow, Flash Arrow (ok this is close to true), Entangle Arrow, and Disruption Arrow.

    I see empathy defenders getting booted cause they dare to attack when no one needs healing.

    I see dark defenders getting booted sometimes for not using the single target heal to heal them from across the room. You know, the heal that doesn't exist. Or worse, because they use those 'useless' aoe to-hit debuffs instead of just spamming heals. Once I got booted from a team cause I used all my tools to try saving the team in a nasty fight, even howling twilight. They booted me cause I was the sole survivor, and had to wait for the rez to recharge.

    Defender doesn't mean healer.
    You mentioned lots of buff/debuff sets there, would it be okay for a TA Fender to not take Acid/Distruption/Oil Slick, a FF Fender to ignore the single target and group bubbles, or an Empath to ditch fortitude, auras and adrenaline boost?
    No. Much the same as it's a stupid idea for a Kinetic to miss out one of their best buffs, Speed Boost.

    I'd honestly love to, but thankfully I'm not on the American servers and useless players aren't too common on the EU.

    While SB isn't my favourite buff around, it's certainly damn good enough for every Kinetics character around to grab and if they don't, then they're either not team-players, are in a solo build or are simply just terrible people.
