  1. Your contacts will also buy them as well.

    Additionally, if they are non generic recipes, you might want to consider crafting them and selling the enhancements at the market. Since salvage prices have plummeted, you should now be able to turn a profit on most crafted pieces.

    Looks like I have 5 assorted kins, one of which is a Fire/Kin. None of them are designed specifically for farming. According to my plans document, they are all scheduled for ID at 49, since there was nothing else that appealed to me, and that frees up the level 50 slots for other powers.

    Increase Density just does not seem that critical to me, and I have never been on any PUGs where people are calling out for ID. Speed Boost is what I hear mostly, and even that is not as frequently as other people seem to claim their kins get called for. And SB, I apply as needed and if I am not busy with other tasks. So far, after over 3 years, I have had no complaints about how I play my kins (most frequently used being my Mind/Kin, who is now 41 and is thrilled to be able to fling fireballs now.

    We urged the Electric Blaster to join the fun several times only to get: "I only fight from range, getting close I die a lot. "
    The most difficult task ever in this game is that of educating Blasters that if there is a kin or rad on the team, the safest place to be is often up near the tank in melee range, since that is where the buffs, debuffs, and heals are directed. If you are out of the area of effect, then you don't get the good stuff.

    Nemesis Staff

    That is correct. Since the Nemi Staff mission is not part of a story arc and does not award a badge, it is not available via Ourburritos.
  4. And for future reference, if you want to get cheap or even net negative cost game time, look into getting some of the other older boxed editions and applying their codes to your account. For example, it is not unheard of to get the GvE edition for like $10 or so (includes $15 worth of time, plus various in game items that sell separately for $10). Mac edition gives another month of game time plus everything from the Valkyrie pack (which woulda been another separate $10 purchase), and AE gives yet another month of time plus your choice of either the magic or cyborg booster pack (not martial arts, mutant, or science though.)

    So if you have not applied any of those codes to your account yet, those are worth looking into. Come to think of it, those all seem to be net negative cost.
  5. Ah well. I win some, I lose some.

    Yet in this case, I still ended up winning some. It turned out that Best Buy had (has) another deal I did not know about until now. When I went to purchase my copies, I found out that purchasing 2 PC games earns you a $25 Best Buy Gift Card. So that will come in handy soon I'm sure.

    Game Time Cards

    I just saw the 30 day NCSoft Time Cards at my local Best Buy for $15 a pop plus tax.
  7. Looks like I learned a little too late about that $10 off special Best Buy was having for Going Rogue. Saw it on BB's site late last night and figured I would get it today (2 copies since there are 2 players here).

    Sadly, when I saw the listing on BB's site, there was nothing stating that the offer would no longer be valid as of today.

    So anyway, are there any other retailers that are doing a similar deal, or are likely to be doing so soon?

    Looks like I am going to have to replan all my flyers soon then and recover the unneeded slots they have in Fly.
  9. Won't /leaveteam actually reset the mission?

    Old Folks can be so cruel. They've had more experience at it.

    Get another sweet little 80 year old lady to yell BINGO!
  11. At least you are not one of the many invisible posters. And even more importantly, you are not a thread killer.

    Oops. This thread is doomed to drop instantly to page 5 now. Sorry.
  12. After looking over my current stable of characters, I see that I don't have as many silly names as I thought I did:

    Deja Thorax
    Bow Chicka Bow Wow
    Krispy Kremator
    Poultrygeist
    Willie Whompem
    Miss de Meowner
    Therm O'Dynamic, my mutant lobster (civilian name being Arthur Podinski)

    Those are really the only ones that I feel can be declared silly names.
  13. I feel so ashamed. I keep hearing it as Petoria.

    That will happen if the zone you are logging out in is experiencing an event like a Rikti or zombie invasion, or a Banner event.

    That is the most common cause. However, I have had it happen when there were no events taking place. Last instance I can recall was logging out a villain in Siren's Call, checking three weeks later and finding no progress at all for Predator. And yes, I did make sure I was well away from the Black Helicopter and the hospital at the time.
  17. Just a word of warning...

    If there is an event going on in the zone you are logging out in (Rikti Invasion, Zombie Apocolypse, or Banners), you will not get credit for the day job and all that logged out time is wasted.

    It is also a good idea to slot an endurance reducer into your fastest recharging powers. If you look at the specs, you may see that some will use up more endurance in the same amount of time that your heavier cost powers take.

  20. Would I cause the OP to experience spontaneous cerebral detonation if I were to mention that my Plants/Energy Dominator has five complete 6 piece Kinetic Crash sets slotted?
  21. At the very least, how about giving us the option in PvE to simply turn off the visual (and where applicable, the audio) effects of buffs?

    There's your problem. Your Defender should be doing radio missions instead of newspaper missions.

Crey's Folly is the best place to find all 3 quickly but you'll definitely want to take inspirations along or try and outlevel it first.
    Actually, the aura mission is Freaks, Rikti, and DE. No Crey in that mission.

    And it would be downright silly to waste mission drops on those. For Freaks, if you must have them low level or even con, you can go to the far end of Faultline, or hunt in Terra Volta, or run radio or contact missions for Freaks.

    Rikti can be had in the Science Store mission from the contact in Bricks (or you can go pop monkies on the rooftops in Crey's Folly). Devouring Earth are found in fairly low levels on Power Island in Indy, or in Striga, or Croatoa. And I think there is at least one DE story arc in that level as well. Not sure if they appear in radio missions.
