This layout is working very well for me. Thank you for providing this list.

I too prefer the lower population servers with Triumph as my main.

My only complaint is the limit with server channels (a complaint that has been brought up before).

With many of these channels being invite only, it's really too much hassle to drop/add channels for each different server I'm on. So, my characters on Triumph, Protector and Liberty usually have any TF/SF I want on them. My characters on other servers would probably have a lot more if I had the ability to double my channels.

I don’t know anyone that uses tickets for silver or gold, just rare salvage and bronze rolls.

I haven’t done a comparison between standard mission recipe drops vs. AE bronze ticket rolls. Farming tickets for bronze rolls seems to yield about the same amount of standard recipes as running Unai’s council map. However, that is just my personal impression.

The AE is a wonderful alternative leveling option. I do wish the search engine was better. However, the creativity of many of these missions combined with easy access to inspirations, lack of travel, hospital on site, and the gambling high of rolling tickets have renewed my interest in many of my under 30 characters and even inspired me to roll quite a few new ones.

In the Janet Kellum arc you encounter a nasty one (murder on my spines/fa. . . literally).

Crey narcotic Auto, Self -Recovery, -Speed, -Recharge
The Crey scientists have injected you with a narcotic that slows your movement speed, attack speed, and endurance recovery! After completing your mission, you should seek help from your contact. If you cannot reach your contact, the effect should wear off.

My only sadness is that the 54 months of vet badges prevents me from having one of them be a complete AE baby with only AE badges.

Perma PA should be your first priority.

On an ITF yesterday, half the team zoning in ended up being stuck, the other half didn't. It's inconsistant, but the issue is still there.

How do the knockback enhancements work then? Aren't they adding knockback mag?

The thing is, KD can easily be turned into KB with one single slot. And I've had the great pleasure of teaming with people that do that, including Dragon's Tail.

So, it would be nice if they created an IO that reduced the mag instead of increased it. This also puts the burdon on people that don't want knockback to sacrafice recharge or damage, etc. Of course, as I've said in other threads, I believe it would make some sets overpowered. That belief though does show my bias. (I still wouldn't slot it in Bonfire, even though it would make bonfire soooooo overpowered. Ping pong on my fire/storm is just too much fun).

Do you have a link to the thread where this was discussed?

One of the reasons I picked it on my empth was for power boosted fort based upon the power description:

powerboost

I can respect that. I was having a blast last night playing mob ping-pong with my hurricane and bonfire. Bonfire is another power that is often "skipped."

This thread is another example of why the -knockback IO would be wonderful. That way, those that want to turn it into KD would be the players sacraficing the slot.

Martial arts does not have an AoE knockback power, just a single target.

I can't think of a single time I've teamed with someone that rolls anything other than concept characters that has taken hand clap or lightning clap.

We had someone ding 50 on a Posi, but I didn't consider this.

Dang-it, I know what my next solo to 50 project is going to be. Actually, wouldn't be that bad with the +5 exemp changes.

Exactly.

My first character, who was also my first 50, is a storm. I understand the power of knockback, whether good or bad.

I am asking for the ability to customize my characters. I have powers that I would rather knockdown than knockback. Personally, I think that would make some of them overpowered, but to admit that is to admit that knockback is not always wanted. To state that knockback is not an issue and then state that the enhancement should not be created because teams will force players to slot one is very contradictory.

I understand it fine. I'm on a energy/pain corruptor. I'm in the middle of the fight, so I will not be taking those powers. Please notice I said "I".

I don't hate knockback. My favorite character at this moment is that energy/pain corruptor. I will admit that I think most people use knockback powers very poorly all the while talking about how well they do play them. Still, as it's been said in this thread, I don't complain about it. It's just a game.
