    Like I said, the #1 reason for returning players to be turned off is they can't play with their IO builds, and a respec isn't available to turn one of the builds into an SO.
    If both builds are IO builds then you had both too much time and too much patience before you left. I can only presume that it was due to burnout from farming for 3-4 billion to finance 2 IO builds on one character.

    Then they need to plan better. You can't send a bunch of kids to storm the beaches. Bring buffs, bring DPS, bring heals, bring debuffs.

    It's as simple as that.
    Second build.
  5. I just wish I could summon a razzlefraggin' Oro while hovering, or vanity pet, or crafting table. I can summon any of my combat pets or pet-like entities while in the air. WTF is the issue behind the ones we can't?

    Honestly, I do want to know if it's just been an oversight all this time or if there's a mechanical difference between the types.

    Ah true enough. I'd actually forgotten that. Nevermind then.
  7. Don't people still use Power Analyzers? Nab a Mk3 and just LOOK at his resists.
  8. Up until some patch a few weeks ago I was still running my Going Rogue, bought on sale, through Steam. It always called the launcher correctly and launched but still reported stats through Steam. Since that patch though I just get to a black screen 90% of the time.

    Aion still launches correctly through Steam, and both of my Turbine games do as well. It's just City that is broken.

    Ah well, Just means alt+tabbing instead of using the built in friends messenger, and of course no play time tracker.
  9. Wikipedia cited as a source? Gimme a second to go change that...

    Waiting for you to follow up with "I only played Traps to level 4 on a Corruptor and it sucks!"
    I took a /TW tank to 25... then I made a TW/ brute. YAY attacks! I do regret TW, but I also regret leveling a PB to 50.

    For a Human Form PB to be... functional... you need a number of slots that you just don't have until you're dipping into the 40's. I love my Warshade Triple Changer though.

    Done it with an MA/Elec scrapper. Night Ward hurt, otherwise it was quite manageable.

  14. My opinions? Hrm...

    Mind Control. I hate the everloving ************ out of it.
    Regen. Yeah. It's a purely reactive set.
    Elec blast. I don't hate it, but it is really, really sub-optimal.

    Otherwise... I kind of like all the powersets we have.

    Off topic: I'd been trying to figure out why my interest in finish my builds had waned drastically and I think that's it. I can use merits or inf to get all the non-purples, but it's just easier to spend a few bucks on points and buy a couple of purple sets. Takes 1/10th or less of the time (haven't had a purple drop in weeks that wasn't a damnable catalyst).

    Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled program.

    I only mentioned bonfire because I saw it in action. Everyone knocked down for the duration of the power. And it's perma.

    I tried the proc in a damage aura just to see how it would perform. I removed it from mud pots as the immob makes KD impossible. Tried it in lightning field. It did nothing to 3 groups. Meh. It's a great KB -> KD converter, but the 20% chance for KD just didn't seem to work in damage auras unfortunately (small sample size, granted).

    The Devoured One waits for this as well. I just need to come up with a good secondary...

    He does and I used it to great effect on a character that has yet to leave Praetoria at level 33. ZM's guide and the associated threads for it were a great help in doing as much in Praetoria as possible.

    DING! Damage auras with a change for KD!

    I want to get a set for my PB so I might play her again. Freakin' stomp of fail.

    Captain Harlock is a good example from the wayback machine.

    I loved the footage of the costumes from the stream. I don't have any ideas or plans to use them as a whole (maybe bits) but they are epic.

    Just a point of clarification for those that may not know. It's a Chance for KD AND converts KB to KD for the power it's in.
