  2. I just finished my widow's respec, I have an elec/SD to run through Twinshot's arc, I have an idea for a claws/DA to run through Dr. Graves, there's almost always SG/VG shenanigans, and there's always my claws/elec for funsies too. Oh, and tonight is the Tanker Tuesday Blowout on Champion.

    Patience comes easy when you have altitis! At least, for now...
  3. SA -> FS -> HoB = My heroic DP/Kin might just like Charleston Chews!

    And as a pseudopet it doesn't break Hide either, huh. So now you can make any nuke into a tele-nuke! Or a tele-mini-nuke if you just have Fireballs and Ball Lightnings. I'm going to have to re-think a few alts of mine...

    Wouldn't it be supremely cool to have this as a cape option but when your character stood idle for a certain length of time they would automatically go into an emote where they wrapped it around themselves to get snuggly?
    If you thought Pocket D was bad now....

    That's just one example (happens to be my favorite because I didn't expect it, I was all "You made a stripper")

    To Sam, truthfully, nothing done in game is actually anti-feminism. Feminism is about a woman being able to do what she wants/decides.

    Feminism IS NOT about a woman having to wear a business suit or covering up every inch of herself, ect...ect.

    So you having scantily clad female heroes doesn't mean anything in the ways of not knowing feminism.

    It's an outfit, it's legal to wear, if that's what they prefere to be wearing. So be it.

    Sadly, there are "feminists" who don't even get that.
    Completely agreed. I've found the best way is to remember that all my alts - male or female - are first and foremost people too.
  9. Ever since my claws/elec hit the streets of Paragon, I have to say its been a sheer joy. I'm probably still in the L2P stages as I've been sending her off on tip and RWZ missions at lvl 44 set for +0/x3 with minimal (wrong) IOs, but hot diggety she's a whirlwind of blades, arcs, and cat hair. Having all that recharge and endurance built-in is a whole level up from my SS/Inv, even if she does have her squishy moments.

    I think I know enough about the power combo now and what to toy with that I have a good end build in mind for running at +0/x8 and teaming up often. I'm looking for anything I missed or that could use a good tweaking, I'm leaving her at 33 S/L defense and 25 E/N as I feel I can run solo at that level with purple/orange skittles and not compromise her AOE potential or her other mitigation abilities.

  10. I was toying with Mids earlier today. EA softcaps S/L/E with Smashing Haymakers(!), Reactive Armors, and the Steadfast proc. I'm still toying with the build, but that with Energize and Power Siphon and Entropic Aura and mmm-mmm, you'll be very strong and pretty indeed. It might almost rival my Claws/Elec once I get him up to the 30s.

  13. 509 posts? Well, 510 now, but anyways. Really? And its still going?



    Gating content as an incentive to subscribe. What's so hard to understand about that?

    Who needs elan when you have Hack and Disembowel? Katana animations are nifty, but none of them give me the 'I just cleaved the other guy in two' impression broadsword does.

    Hmm. Maybe I should try my BS/SD over on Exalted as a broot...

    Or is it just the absurdity of quoting Hitler that bothers you? Because, you know, that was kind of the point. Comedic license and all that.

    To clarify: do I really think Golden Girl is comparable to Hitler? No. Do I think she would've made a great Nazi...?
    Its the fact that GG's dug her hole well and deep and you're rollin' up in a backhoe so you can match her level of immaturity. A+, would get my third box of popcorn if I already didn't have it.

    I had to read that sentence a couple times, but in the end I still had the same reaction.



    EDIT: And yes, if you're really heading down that road in response to Golden Girl of all posters...
  17. Someone's a mite bit defensive today. Its been how long since I made that initial post?

    Every now and then sure. Far more often I'll hear about sewer teams and sewer trials and hero tips and 'try my arc ID', but then again this is Virtue and not Freedom.

    Time we accept that AE is used pretty much entirely for farming.
    When Posi shuts all of AE down, sure. Until then, ha ha ha no.

    Quote:
    For a quantitative assessment of the claim I suggest you take a look at a farming AE map and see the 999+ 5 star votes and then take a look at any non-dev pick non-farm map and see the 0-5 votes total cast by the creator and his friends.
    Because all the 'A+++++ WOULD FARM AGAIN' votes from every different alt that runs the farm makes up for all of our SG-or-friends-only arcs or the event-specific arcs like the one browncoats did for Patriots Day or for all the publicly available arcs advertised in sigs and broadcasts and AE arc contests.

    ha ha ha oh wow
  18. I come back to check the thread and we're already at Hitler quotes.



    I'm gonna need a second bucket.

    So in a 54/8 run this kills half the experience in the run. It reduces half the money, too. I still get ticket capped and reset mission though, since the mission i used went a little over.

    I think power leveling price will be the same, it just effects the people getting power leveled, 5hrs - 8hrs , 1-50?
    Sounds about right, like we believed when MARTy was announced, this seems more about throwing a governor on inf/xp gain than on already-capped tickets.

    CEILINGMARTY IS WATCHING YOU FARM

    Seriously though, just because MARTy has tripwires firing doesn't mean that rewards will get shut off. There's no visible alert, so there's no way of telling if it did go off or not. For all we know, the devs could still have him running but have the reward kill switch turned off.

    Thinking on it a little more, though, and seeing that the self-rezzes got nerfed but not the ambushes, I'm led to believe that - as it stands - running 54/8 with all six ambushes frontloaded is more or less considered acceptable by the devs. Or at least not enough of a problem for them to outright nerf ambushes as well.

    I didn't see it listed here but Twoflower mentioned elsewhere that MA custom characters should no longer be bugged. That's good news if true, I have one arc to check another to build tonight.

  21. Today be lookin' like a pirate night, mateys! Arr!

    (This is where I regret not having a linked pic of Tide Shifter.)
  22. I've been slotting them one apiece in my attacks as I level up, but this thread is giving me some better ideas. Too bad fire/fire doms don't get Rain of Fire, but it could be handy in, say, Fire Cages...
  23. I just grabbed the barbarian pack, and yes the sword is suitably epic for my sword 'n boarder.

    Only now because masks have been melded into standard heads, I'm going to have to remember how to put her face back on to edit her costume. :P

    That wasn't you? I saw 'Arcanaville' quitting just as Fire in the Sky had made it to Atlas Park and thought 'I didn't know Arcana was into cats'.

    To be safe, I just snagged Exalted Flamethrower Ferret. My ferret. MINE.
