I'm sure Aggy read it, but assumed (as I did) that perhaps you weren't aware of the difference and thought that *all* of the tailors were 'surgeons', because that's the only easy explanation. If you're definitely at the surgeon and paid for the science booster, and still can't do all the size-changing stuff as you should be able to, then it sounds like a bug. :/

I just make sure I'm up high. If I lag, I've either got enough time to pick and pop while I'm falling, or ... well, you never actually *die* from those falls.

Seems to me the F2P part (which took me a minute to decipher, I assume it's 'Free to Play') is probably the key issue there. Take something with the base possibilities of D&D and make it free play? Even if it's craptastic, you'll get a lot of folks trying it.

Just saying.

Urrr, even that 2.28% bonus is going to be fairly significant when you're that close to the soft cap. Unless you can take another power in its place to get you over the top, it'd be worthwhile...

You know, several people were complaining about Kelly Uqua's arc in another thread. Never having played it, I turned to paragonwiki. It seems to me like this arc might've been an early experiment - it seems to have two slightly different endings to the arc, depending on success or 'failure' in the last mission...

If you did use 3 pure resist enhancements and bump it well up into ED territory, doesn't that help when hit with resistance debuffs? Granted, I'd rather have the extra set bonuses than resistance I can only use once in a blue moon, but not everyone may feel that way.

Perhaps they see it as 'working as intended' - figuring that you can get some recharge enhancement without really being able to get it near the ED-level.

You can do that? O.O

I guess that means you can turn it *on* so you can see your title without having to skim thru all the badges to see which one is highlighted (and invariably accidentally clicking one and setting it as the current badge displayed along the way).

Wow, learn something new every day!

Make the best of your 'break'. Get more sleep. Spend time outdoors.

And just think, while you're gone they'll get the kinks worked out.

You know, I'm not sure what it is but low level dominators seem horrifically squishy to me. I last longer in combat with a blaster. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. I have an earth^2 dom at around 21/22 and it still seems like all a mob has to do it look at me and I lose half my green bar. :P And I don't even wanna think about my mental/psi dom.

OTOH, my main blueside is an Ice/Emp controler, and he's a ton of fun, and very soloable.

The aura should be up full-time, not just when HoE is active. At least that's how most such auras function.

Did you use a 'cleansweep' program? Drivers aren't like regular software, you need to make sure they're completely removed before installing an updated version. Not all driver installation routines do a good job of this.

Burke isn't giving you more missions because you've levelled up past the level range for his missions. Moreover, you exceeded the level range for the contact he would've introduced you to, so you can't get those missions either. So at this point you need to follow Dechs directions to get into some current contacts.

Incidentally, don't feel like you're missing out on content. When you get a bit higher level you can use the Ouroboros system to 'flashback' to any of the lower level content you missed, should you desire to.

Welcome to the game!

Precisely why I'm not using this feature for awhile, give them a chance to get it stable.

This is probably a better mod. I like the toggle idea, but what happens if you get mezzed and detoggled? Boom!

On second thought, that's actually kinda cool. "That's right, Captain Fantastic! This is a Dead Man's Switch! If you shoot me, I drop this, and we *all* die! MWAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Oh, ahem. Sorry.

And if you go this route but you like your costumes (aside from the blatant rip-off one) be sure and use the costume creator to back them up. It'd be a shame to see your awesomesauce threads get hit with the generic bat because you wanted to save $10.

Yeah, you're the one that said "Sssssssuuurrrghhhsssss!!" I remember that!

Laf, I'll try to remember to ask Jim next time I see him whether that actually happened. I just saw him on last night. His wife Shannon is also a fairly famous author and she plays as well.

Just keep in mind that the @global email has been a tad buggy lately, too, with all these changes. I wouldn't email anything I didn't want to risk losing for a few weeks until things get shaken out.

It's not just you. I haven't gotten a temp power drop since i17. Of course, I think in the 4+ years I've been playing I could probably count my temp drops on two hands.

Oh, I can believe that it's gotten /worse/.

How about 'worst drivers and crappiest video solution' ever instead? You could probably go spend $75 on a cheap ATI card, disable your 'integrated (lack-of)graphics' chipset, and be way ahead of where you were.

Heh, while I can relate to the sentiment, let's not go overboard. We may not want to read all these gripes, but then again, no one is *making* us read them, either. The folks who are spewing venom everywhere might be unrealistic and impatient, but they *do* pay to play as well as we do, and I sincerely wish that their gaming experience will be fixed if possible.

I'm betting one reason Ultra Mode was released like this, free, and prior to GR, is precisely because they didn't want the expansion to have too much 'new' - this way they roll out UM and get it working well over the next couple of months before dealing with GR.

Thing is, that bug is a week or two old at minimum. I got stuck there early last week, well prior to rolling out I17.
