All this talk of the blaster primary....no new secondary? I'm at a loss thematically and mechanically of which Blaster secondary would "work well" with a dual weapon set. If every click-type power was putting away the guns, I wouldn't make it out of the tutorial with the character out of sheer annoyance alone. "Not using" a Secondary is assinine IMO. That's kind of why I was hoping it'd be a Scrapper set so the secondary could be more toggle-based than click.

Is it being ported to Defenders and/or Corruptors? Quite a few more primary/secondary sets there that I could make work than I could for Blasters.

Still nothing of a hook for me in regard to GR AFAIK. (< -- can only imagine the giant grins that gave various people )

Ran a LGTF last night, leader was at 50. Most of the mobs in the mission were 49 with only a smattering of 50s throughout the whole thing. The EBs and AVs were level 50 at least.

Also, team window had several instances of blank/black names when various people were already zoned and those not in the same zone.

I know Placate roots for energy melee. I hates it

Fire/Ice Blaster - Made in beta because the idea sounded good to me. Played it mostly solo in Beta and after release. Was very tough going to say the least. After all the changes through the years (ED, IOs, Diff changes, spawn changes, power changes, etc), I still dislike ice manipulation very much for a blaster and will never use it again. The character is still played with to this day, but I barely have any Ice melee powers and, given a choice, would have picked Energy or Elec manipulation. Come on Secondary respecs!

Illusion/Empathy - Created just after release, and through most of the changes until ED/Controller changes, was incredibly fun to play and very powerful. Again, mostly solo'd and it was fun to have an army of Phantasms doing my bidding and me keeping them alive. After those various changes, the character just wasn't fun. He is based on a concept and I love the name and costume though If given a chance, I'd change over to Storm or Cold now. The concept wouldn't quite fit as-is, but it'd be a welcome change to re-play this character. Come on secondary respecs!

Electric/Mental Blaster - Just wanted to try sets I hadn't dabbled into yet. No concept, no real idea even for a name, but just needed a new project. Incredibly disappointed in Electric blast on various levels. Probably would swap out Electric blast for Energy or even Arrow.

IE7 Pro seems to do the trick for what I want, thanks. I use Avant at home, and now this work computer behaves more like that.

Will try that once I find a decent plug in for IE. Thanks.

Damned if I didn't see the stupid picture entry

Nothing in the CP about it. I don't know the name of the image to block; when the new forums first showed up I did look, but couldn't find it. I imagine it's buried in the style sheet somewhere? But even if I had the name/location, I don't know if it would work since it's in a style sheet?

Only for Firefox AFAIK

Using IE7 (can't use anything else here), and I despise the background picture for the forums (Statesmen and Lord Reclue in a city-scape). I'd like to bypass it/keep it from loading if at all possible.

Not sure what can be done and would like to limit having to install a program to do it. Not sure of any plug ins for IE that would actually work. Didn't find any settings in IE or registry for it.

Ideas? and thanks.

What's the current roster size?


nevermind. still not worth it

For what it's worth, I have one in hurricane. Since I have to be in melee-range for hurricane, and I maintain where I stick and keep mobs, it fires off quite nicely for me.

I personally don't care for it/think it's worth while in any click-based power.

AFAIK, this isn't new with I16 or the new SKing.

This has happened for a very long time with the exact same setup and repeatablilty described in the OP. I want to say it's been this way since the introduction of the original difficulty changes/contact. I have bugged it a couple of times in the past through various Issue updates and support via email seemed to just stall after awhile.

As long as the misison holder is in the same zone as the mission, anyone can enter and have the difficulty settings matter (otherwise waiting for the mission holder to enter the mission first is ok). The majority of people I play with know this and will wait for the leader to load into the right zone before entering a mission. This is most annoying with train missions if people enter the mission before the leader from the various access points.
