JACKPOT! The quadfecta!

So today I was running missions and I ended up in one of the Crey lab maps. Four pieces of equipment, should I destroy them? Normally I don't, but I was almost done with the mission, so I figured what they hey, let's go for it.

One down, two down, three down, and four down. JACKPOT!

Needless to say, I just sat there for a while letting debuffs wear off.



Funny thing, just a few days ago, I hit my Inner Inspiration power and got slammed with three of the exact same inspirations--three Take a Breathers (medium blues). I remember thinking at the time, "Wow, that was weird luck. Probably won't ever happen again."


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

I haven't been hit with any of those debuffs in ages and I always take down the Lab Equipment.

I guess that's one of the benefits of playing blasters.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

i dont get hit much with the debuffs because the debuffs have to have a tohit check before actually affecting you so majority of the time the debuffs actually miss me

the buffs however are autohit which is fantastic so you dont miss them lol, the best ive ever had was 3 hastes + the end recov buff one lol

I usually pop some purples before doing the 4 labs.

The debuffs require a tohit roll, but the buffs are auto-hit.

They're also affected by the purple patch. If the labs are above you in level the buffs/debuffs will be stonger(and vice versa).

You is just so lucky, Tony. Nice!


August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.

Cool looking character, what is his story and skill sets?

I think he is a StJ/WP Scrap

Heh, that's Smack Daddy, my Street Fighter on Triumph. When I was making him, I decided to literally make him a fighter, using the boxing costume. (Toast is right, Street Justice/Willpower.)

He doesn't really have a fleshed out story. In my head when I made him, I had the idea of a boxer or MMA fighter that was disqualified for fighting for some reason (probably use of illegal substances) and banned from the ring. Not really having a fall-back plan for his life, he turned to crime, still profiting from his fists and general toughness. He still thinks he's the best of the best though, and has gone to the Rogue Isles to prove it on the streets against the super-powered villains there. Make no mistake, though: He's anything but a hero. In the Isles, he's gone from petty street crime to all out mercenary, taking on jobs for pay not really caring who he hurts or what the implications are. Earlier today, he put the beat down on Synapse and Mynx, for example. He didn't care why, all he cared about was proving his mettle against the so-called super-powered heroes (and the cash being deposited into his account by Abyss, of course).

I like him, he's my only Street Justice character, and the powerset is really powerful. He can stand toe-to-toe with pretty much anyone, even without being fully decked out in top-of-the-line IO sets or anything. He's just a couple of levels shy of 50 right now. Hopefully I'll have him there within a couple of weeks or so (I tend to level really slowly...) and start kitting him out as an Incarnate, something I rarely do on any characters. I don't even have him in a villain group right now; I haven't teamed him up much and haven't really had a chance to interact with anyone who wants him in. Maybe after he starts wading through some trials I'll hook him up with a good group.

Wowza.

Truth be told, I didn't even know there were debuffs. maybe I miss them when I get them, but I always seem to get buffs.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Is it snarky of me that the first thing I thought upon seeing those four debuffs was, "Oh, look, he's running 'To Click a Thousand Glowies.'" (That would leave ME woozy, weakened, sick and lethargic.)

I once managed to get a net total of no result from those four. Two debuffs, and two buffs that negated the debuffs. Made me chuckle

So... You don't risk getting the debuffs, have no chance at getting the buffs, and yet you always waste the time to destroy them anyway.

I guess at least you enjoy your blasters.

Do you play high defense characters most of the time? As was mentioned a bit earlier, that can prevent the debuffs:

That was pretty clever, actually. (-:

I certainly do.

One thing it lets me do is stay in practice on what the range of each attack is without any risk.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I'm usually not that clever.

When you find something you out-range on a blaster, you don't pass up the chance to shoot it.

Because the RWZ dummies or gray enemies are harder to find.

Got it.

My blaster is AR/EM. Perma boost range. Alpha range enhancement.

I out-range everything.
