The Grim Heaper

Right right, that is a way to accidentally delete one, from the context menu, which ... didn't come up? Yes, my argument is based solely on AW252's likely confusion over what a context menu is.

We can probably infer from the context of the thread that no prompt came up when he accidentally clicked delete or hit D while the context menu for the inspiration in question was open. And then he misunderstood Indiramourning's posting about the context menu. Which is why, in the half of my post you didn't quote, I said So... yeah, likely there's no confirmation for deleting inspirations... Although 95% of the time I don't see there being a need for one... with the exception of the winter holiday ones, the special +resists for Crystal Titan/Hamidon, or some of the new dual-aspect inspirations from the super packs... Inspirations are largely disposable.

Deleted, or used? because there's no way I know of to delete an inspiration without reaching the context menu... Left click uses one, right click opens context menu...


And just off a hunch here, the context menu is the thing that comes up when right-click things in many windows-based environments. It shows up right at the cursor asking what you want to specifically do with the object you right-clicked on.

Oh, you can manually edit the text file to change the results, and you may - MAY - get the load-from-file interface to show you the results. BUT if there are any conflicts (loading a costume file with a back option piece while editing a Crab Spider, for example) it will say that some items cannot be loaded. It will give you a check-box to click that omits the pieces that are in conflict, and then it applies the rest of the costume to the character. If you do not hit that check-box, you cannot proceed with loading the costume.

This can also occur when pieces are shuffled around. All the pieces of your costume (may) still exist somewhere in the editor, but they are located somewhere else that does not mesh with what the .costume file says. The check-box will pop up, and you can load the entire costume except the conflicting parts, and then you have to manually find those bits. For example, when tails were moved from the "belts" section of upper body - any old costume files with tails will have an error on that part. you can still load the rest of the costume, but then have to go select the tail from the new location.

And let's face it, even if it did sidekick them up, those 50s have more tricks and key powers up their sleeves. And if it reduced the50's to lvl 30, there's still a potential for a many more slots being invested in available powers.

>.> um... no, I get what you're trying to say here, but as long as any of the PvE rewards remain in these zones (Exploration badges, temp powers), no. I'm not arguing against those being there, and I'm not saying people should leave badge hunters alone (It's a PvP zone, it's part of the risk of the place). But if those rewards remain there, then there should be no restrictions on team size.

Otherwise people would join a pvp team, get the badge(s) or temps they came in for and then leave. Then suddenly the team is reduced to 3, or two, or one. What happens to those who remain? kicked out? Angry people. Allowed to stay? Then what was the point of requiring 4 to enter.

There's a couple villain arcs that have you go there, one under the pretense of establishing a base... Things do not go well, however.

I'd be in favor of a revamp - at least get some of the new game tech in the area... like turrets and bunkers that are fully functional combat NPCs... Right now soldiers are just stuck in an animation loop firing at nothing, and turrets are entirely non-functional.

And yeah, the DR.Q TF needs a re-work. Heck, just eliminating the Simultaneous clicks would be an improvement; it would still be annoyingly long, but you wouldn't have to maintain a minimum amount of people over the course of the entire thing.

Also amusing, BAF - whilst fighting Siege, stand atop Nightstar, activate recharge reducers and start setting up the fireworks display (usually enough time between mines to fire a blast or three, so you aren't being totally useless). I've managed to do up to 10-15% damage on my own. One time three other devices/traps characters saw what I was doing and joined in. The league leader freaking out after the fact to even out the bars was priceless; "Team 1 seige, team 2 NS, team 3 adds", "WTF? EVERYONE SEIGE! EVEN OUT THE HP!!!"

Sometimes ruined buy wandering/KB'd adds, or Siege if his aggro shifts and he stumbles into the pile.

And considering how old the guide is...
Enhancement goals; rub up against the ED cap (95%) for both damage and recharge, and with set IOs, throw at least an SO worth of accuracy for good measure. Generally speaking, for most teaming situations, you'll be mowing through mobs at a rate that makes stopping to set up mine traps a waste of time; at best you'll be stealthing ahead of the group and opening with a toe bomb. However, certain situations that call for mines (EX; solo, taking out an EB in one big glorious fireball.), you'll want as many mines out as you can muster. This is where the recharge comes in. Nothing below AV can survive a pile of 20+ mines.

When taking out EBs in this way, ensure you place caltrops in front of the pile. Last thing you want is one of the underlings setting it off before the EB gets there, and most EBs will just cruise over the caltrops ahead of their minions.

This is... disappointing. I'm grudgingly willing to pay up to $15 (worth of points) for a full costume bundle. But what else would be in the grab-bag? If I have (nearly) every other purchasable costume part already, will that increase my odds of getting one of these?

Yeah, usually results in crap. But sometimes part of the result is awesome, and gives you inspiration for the rest.

oh... Hmm... Well warden_de_dios's screenshots do seem to work, conceptually (although, not sure, but the chest and leg options appear to be valkyrie)

but, regardless, I have two costumes that fit the bill (badum-tish);


The one on the left (under the chest detail) uses "Organic Armor" with the "strapless" pattern and the legs are "Organic Armor" with "Bikini 2". It should be noted that if you like the overall look, but don't want the glowy parts, you need to choose darker colours closer to the left for the secondary colour. I like this one, but it probably only works as well as it does in concert with the rest of the Celestial Pheonix theme...

The one on the right is Valkyrie with Strapless and Bikini 2 (And the cyborg cables chest detail). I think I used to have this one with just tights, but I tried and liked the overall feel the valkyrie texture gave it.
