    If you're only concerned about purples, you could find someone's level 48 mission and run it on a 50, or run your own at a -1 difficulty. The issue with that is while they may drop purples, any set recipes they drop will be 48 or 49 instead of 50, and level 50 recipes are generally worth far more than the lower-level ones.

    Lemme see if I can dig up some saved HeroStats logs here...

    EDIT: Here's one from my SS/Fire from back in February.

  3. Burn your vet respecs, the I17 freespec, and your three earned respecs (so at least four respecs plus whatever you get through veteran rewards). That's enough to get 40 IOs off not counting the extra 10 per vetspec. After you've burned your free/earned respecs you'll have to decide if the remaining IOs are either worth:

    * Buying a respec recipe off the market - these run from 100 to 200 million
    * Paying for a respec with real money - this costs $9.99 for one respec

    HP goals?

    Well since they already fudged in half the changes by using hidden autopowers they might as well just give an autopower that grants you like 2000 hp or something. Then again, they'll probably read this and say "THAT'S A GREAT IDEA" and then we'll get PvP 3.0.
  6. It's WAI and has been that way for quite a long time, mostly because Stalker players wanted some parity to the constant damage/tohit buff Clawls Scrappers get.

    That makes a pretty broad assumption that most Stalker players can actually AS.
  9. Saying "start using the market this way to work around this stupid feature" is as silly a thing as saying "close and re-open the market UI every time you list an item so you don't accidentally sell the wrong one."

    No, the devs set merit rewards based on median completion time. In the case of Eden, Cap, and KHTF, a majority of the teams running the content were speedrunners, so that may have fudged the datamining a bit.

    But yeah, 26 merits for both parts put together is way too low. I'm betting we'll see that number go up once a new round of merit reward changes comes through, because the devs are probably erring on the side of caution with this one.
  11. Elec, Spines. EM kinda but I wouldn't roll one with Elec and Spines being around.

    HP goals?

    AFAIK HP and endurance aren't (if they are it's reeeeeeeeeeeally small). Only time I've noticed a difference between my HP in PvE and PvP is when my character has a passive +HP power (on my Stalker with HPT, my HP in PvP is slightly lower because the heal enhancements in HPT get DR'd).
  13. wat

    EDIT: I'm not particularly invested in either type of lineup submission (double-blind or counterpick) but I'm curious as to why people seem to be against it. If matches start on time, does it really matter how people determine what is brought to a match?

    HP goals?

    You're not gonna get a Brute as high as a Tanker without DP running unless you really do weird things with your build. Brute base HP is about 1500 (Scrappers are 1400) and Tanker base HP is about 1800. Tankers, yeah, I'd shoot for 2600-2800, but Brutes I'd be happy with the 2000-2200 range.
  15. Other than the map picking rule the only two things we'd be voting differently on are the Stalker lineup and the way lineups are submitted (or not submitted). I don't know if our vote would swing those rulings in any way but if it would we'd put in for a 3-Stalker limit and counterpick lineups.
  16. H/A/R vs R/R/R because R/R/R eliminates the ability to run teams tailored to a specific map and basically turns it into a gamble of "do we run this team and hope for this map, or do we just run a jump team," and every match being a jump team is boring as hell.
  17. How did you have a captain's meeting without all the captains? No one from Convenient was there :/

    EDIT: Also is there a ruling on the map rule (i.e. all rounds random or home/away/random)? If that's still up for debate Convenient votes home/away/random.
  18. Seems like we're up to 5-6 teams... almost enough to get this rolling.

    Also, how did you find them...
    I found the first one on my own just before HP posted. The second one, not so much. Spent quite a while looking and couldn't come up with anything.
