  1. You can still pick superjump and superspeed if you need a travel power apart from TP.

    There's a jetpack temp power thats pretty cheap on the market as well to save a hike to the shadow shard.

    Otherwise even unslotted Nova form would do for flight

    I'll give more folks time to respond, but if it turns out to be just me, now I have to figure out what that's a bug report or a petition or a tech support ticket. . . .
    Happens lots with me too. I've been able to buy other stuff and have things pop back in tray or interface minutes afterwards.

    I was trying to buy things NAO last night and it took me a long long time with bids reversing, trying to get items that i managed to buy into my inventory.

    Bug it.

    Thats a workaround with the generic IOs where there is a big price difference. The price difference on things like Jaunt is not so easy.

    Theres also less of a difference in price with lvl 48 recipe compared with a level 46.

    The manage enhancment screen is much harder to work around.

    I'd turn off the ultramode update to be able to read things easily again if that was an option.

    I'd really like to hear a "we're working on it", or some sort or acknowgledment that it is a bug like being on the known issue list.
  4. Glad you got there, thansk for them lol

    And the vendoring recipe screen. Trying to tell the difference between my lvl 20 and lvl 50 vendor stuff is difficult.
    Normal recipe window is fine, just not at vendor, like normal enhancment tray is fine, just not in manage.

    There is a snippet of information more in this thread about electric control's likley make up.

    2 electric gremlins

    -1 of those unique powers will likely be an aoe sleep
    -Another will likely be a heavy sapping click power w/ secondary effects
    -Another could conceivably be a modified version of blaster lightning field, so large aoe damage aura, end drain, and probably have a chance to sleep/stun added.

    I doubt we are going to see another set as unique as illusion myself, but here's hoping the set is indeed more "unique" than I've listed (not that what I just drew up would be bad at all, it would perform very well).
    which Castle responded to with

    I'm not interested in Max XP, but adequate XP.

    Not sure if above means you tried that or not. There is every chance that the screen shots are saved in a mac native format instead of jpg which is why I'd try the other searches as well.

    You could also try using the screen shot key, and pasting into word or paint program.... bypassing where they get kept.

    But whether effort is worth it :shrug:
  10. I'm looking at finnishing up IOing with my PB and have a few questions....mostly very similar questions...

    I mostly interested in being in nova and dwarf more than human.

    If I have Luck of the gambler global recharge in powers like combat flight/manuevers/other 'human form powers' do i get the 7.5& recharge bonus in nova/dwarf?

    If I have the performance shifter +end in stamina, do I get that in nova/dwarf?

    If I have the regen tissue +regen, numinas +regen.recovery, etc in health do I get that in nova/dwarf?

    If I have the impervium Psi resist, Aegis status resist, steadfast protect etc in human powers, do I get that in nova/dwarf?

    Do I get set bonues from things in human powers (eg 2 x blessing of the zephry in combat flight) do I get that in nova/dwarf?

    Do I get the set bonues from things slotted in nova or dwarf in the other forms and human (eg +10% recharge from a purple set)

    Is the answer the same for all these cases, and if not can you please tell me why?

    Some other slotting questions:

    Whats good for Bright nova - I was thinking 2 x end mod, 3 x to hit buff, is it worth 6 slotting and putting another end mod in or something else? Or is it a waste to slot mush at all for the form power themselves? Is the performance shifter +end worthwhile in there?

    Same question for White dwarf, have 3 x resist damage atm with 2 x end mod and 1x leap.

    I learned this the hard way by dropping the Loa Bone mish from Mr. Bocor at lvl 9 and tried to get it again at lvl 11. I abandoned it, spoke to him again and got the cold shoulder.
    Its getting harder n harder to finnish his mission by 9.

    Have to turn off XP for billie hecks.

  13. Havent seen any hate towards people with the Mo badge.

    Seen people leave a TF becauses it a Mo, and people dread being the squishy on one. And often too much angst about it all imo.
  14. I like the idea of more types of inpirations dropping.
  15. The game outside AE has changed to be solo friendly for most ATs.

    Its like making an arc that requires tank/healer/DPS trinity, old fashioned thinking that City has out grown.
  16. hmmm I thought that was the point of abandon over complete mission.

    Half recall it working the way OP described when I abandoned one of kalindas missions, got the same one back again when I talked to her again.

    Will have to test it tonight.

    Email Limitation

    So anyone knows what happens if you send an email to someone with 40 already? Does it bounce back or vannish?

    I wish there was a recall or sent folder too. I sent something and typo'd the name, would of been great if I could i grabbed it back before it was claimed.

    Now use reply a lot more than typing the name.

    I don't have a mac to test, but shouldnt be any harder than command+F, then pick by type, or date modifed.

    Use 'jpg' in the search box if you cant find those options.

    Reboot and verify files did nothing to clean it up. But zoning re-randomizes what objects get displayed. And it seems to be linked to specific body parts. Even at the tailor those pars are corrupted and don't have the properly functioning second colors/textures.
    #1 After making a screen shot do a search for recent pictures, or recent files (like changed/added in 24 hours) that should find them.

    #2 www.imageshack.us hosts pictures and doesnt require any sign up.

    1) Kicked from team because of the lack of one power out of a great set.
    2) Being called selfish for not having a team buff ( o.O personally I think people are selfish to expect it)
    3) Also being called any if not all of the following, n00b, horrible player, can't build a toon, etc.
    That was all you learned from this thread
    That's some real selective readin' n learnin' there.
  21. Sometimes it will be via Sigs or mention of an arc in a post.

    More often I pick a smallish arc by semi random search phrases, a word that will bring up a few dozen results - umm like maybe warehouse, rescue, fire, magical axe of the ages, non canon, etc.

    Sometimes I try to find content that fits the theme of my character eg shadowrun, necromancy, etc

    If I have played a smaller arc & liked it, I will play others (longer one) by same writer. But rarely play more than a couple of maps long from an unknown.

    More often lately, too fustrated with the way lower XP than street mobs, so havent bothered.

    Looking for more tag would be great for getting higher levels joining teams too, I seldon invite more than +3 even though the odds are some would join.
  23. Please tell us that the small fonts on recipes/enhancements in certain views is being looked at.

    You're welcome to want, use, and have SB. I respect that. The issue here is that the pro-SB lobby does not respect those that would prefer to be, do, and have without SB.
    There have been a lot of posts in this thread from people who like/use SB (pro SB) who have also said, 'your character, do what you will'.

    While many buffs can save a team, such as resistance/defense shields or regen buffs, rarely will a recharge buff be vital, and rarer still is a recovery buff vital I find.
    Recharge buffs sure help decide the fight more than any other buff when I'm on a dom.
  25. That back up radio temp can spike in price to 10 mill.
