    Well, since the game came out in 2004...

    I'm not too familiar with brutes but I don't see anything drastically wrong with the build. Flight is capped without enhancement, so you could replace the Fly enhancement with an End Redux. Taunt is auto hit in PvE, so unless you PvP, you could replace the Acc with a Taunt duration.

    Hopefully, someone will be along soon with more details.
  2. The wiki page has some of that info. But it depends upon what you're interested in, as some info just isn't known.

    edit: Missed it by *that* much.

    You can change the size of the base plot as needed. Obviously, you can't go down in size unless the base will fit on the smaller plot, but upgrading to a bigger plot isn't a problem.

    Call me dense, but I just don't think far enough ahead sometimes. Case in point: I was worried several days ago that my Decimations would not sell and I relisted them at a lower price. And then I heard that Water Blast was coming out for sure on Tuesday (I had not been paying attention apparently), and my only thought was, "Cool, I have to play one right away!"

    Not, "Oh, my Decimations are going to be very valuable!" Or "I should buy some Blaster ATOs now!"
    Water Blast just came out, so there are a lot of Water Blast characters leveling up and Decimation is pretty good. With so many new characters wanting it, demand goes up, supply goes down. It will eventually level off and return to its "regular" prices.

    They would stack, I would think, but according to the Wiki Page, Range has a minimum of 25%, so unless the critter has some resistance to debuff (like an AV), the taunt will max out the debuff by itself.

    Ouroboros mission. Since Ouro basically puts you on Task Force, you won't get logged out due to inactivity. You can also use AE to do the same thing and there's an AE building in Mercy if you go that route.

    and in before the lock

    (my new forum minigame, can I quote the mods on necroposting before they come in and lock it )
  8. Here is an older thread on the subject.

    As an example, here's what it says when you try to run the Villain side "Price of Friendship" story arc without having run the previous two arcs

    "You and everyone on your team must not have Lt.Harris's story arc as an active arc, must have completed Dr. Weber or Fire Wire's arc, and be over level 7 to begin his flashback."

    Unfortunately, it gives you the name of the contacts, which aren't shown when you access the crystal.

    Exactly this!

    Most leagues start off with Lambda, BAF, Keyes, and TPN, before finishing the evening/night with one or two Magisterium trials. The trials are most often led by either Talbien or Huron, and occasionally I have lead them as well. On occasion (to shake up the monotony) an Underground, Mom, or DD will be run instead.
    I'm usually not on in the evenings so I can't verify this, though.

    I'm not sure what difference you think that would make. The market is cross server and faction, so there wouldn't be any change to all the marketing stuff. There might be some changes to what she does to level up, but TFs and teams still happen on lower population servers.

    Uh, the OPs question was over a year ago and they've probably left the game by now, since they haven't posted since June of last year.
  16. Oh yeah, one more helpful tip. As I mentioned, the hospital is in the zone. But rather than run all the way to the south and through the sewer grate to get back to the top, there's a secret exit. Go straight east from the hospital until you reach the top of a rubble pile, then look north and you'll find a hole through the rubble that will cut your travel time way down.

    You'll get people back to the battle faster that way.

    I guess our team of 5 had more in common with the IN.SANE. sentiment. We made it all the way to the Durays and then team wipe after team wipe...any hints, suggestions, guides on how to complete this task force?

    Any help would be appreciated. (Our team consisted of a scrapper, two blasters, a controller and a defender.)
    First, just letting you know the Mods often lock thread when they get necro'ed like this. (see section 5 of the forum rules)

    My tips are to make sure and buy inspirations from the medic which is in zone (as is the hospital), learn to avoid the strafing runs, and concentrate all your firepower on only one of the Durays. Some people suggest hitting the teleporting one first, but I find that to be annoying, since you end up running all over the map trying to get to him.

    OR can you please give me all the places i need to go for example every 5 levels to buy my SO's till lvl 50, if not asking to much?
    You can buy level 30 SOs in the same place you buy level 25s. When you go to get your level 35 SOs, the easiest places are either RWZ or the Midnighter Club. Both have stores there that will sell you level 35-50 SOs from all origins without having to do a mission first.

    Just to be clear, you keep all set bonuses even if the power is greyed out, just as long as you're no more than 3 levels below the level. So, if you slot that power you picked up at level 49 with level 28 IOs, you'll still have the set bonuses all the way down to 25, even though you don't have access to the power.

    Game Went Nuts

    What Grendar said. Here's link to the Technical Issues & Bugs section. Make sure and read the [Guide] Asking for technical help on the forums thread first and post the relevant info.
  21. It's actually pretty complicated. See this wiki page.

    Basically, you can exemp down to level 32 with no change. Beyond that, your enhancements lose some of their value. The further down you exemp, the greater the reduction.

    edit: oops, fixed link
