Yep. I've been wanting this for years too.

Do eet! Doooo eeeeeeet!!

Even just as EU -> US Transfers would be fine with me at this stage as oppose to a Server List merge.

It sure is.

(And Dark Novas AOE, Dark Detonation, does do knockback, but since you can fly it's easily converted into knockdown).

Oh yeah, good catch. I'd forgotten about that disclaimer alright.

Nah, Prime Time is currently about 250 heroes side, 100 villains.

Dunno about Defiant as I've been alting with my Union Villains all the time

Since it's only a "visit" to another server with that character (you could easily handwave it as each shard being a different Portal Dimension) the chances of the two names being actually online at the same time would be much less than a true transfer.

Either the visitor or the last of the clashing toons to log on would need a .something at the end of their name to differenate from the first on, but it would only last for the play session. If you didn't like the system you'd be free not to use it and just stick to your own shard.

Yep, this would be excellent (especially if it allowed us EU types to visit US Servers)

Of course it would basically dry up NCSofts Server Transfer income so I wonder how attractive it would be to NCSoft to implement.

He did say "today" and posted at 11:26am local time, so I guess it was an early morning run. About right for Union around that time. And that's the EU server with the highest population mind.

The only person I heard of mentioning that was Bridger, when he was a Moderator EU side. Never heard anything from a Dev backing it up, myself. It was a "What if..." rather than anything concrete though. He did go on to do some Dev work, before being downsized along with the rest of the EU side support team.

And this is the main reason why you can't have a more freeform respec, unfortunately.

The stupid game doesn't remember what levels you placed slots in at (hence the way it weakens enhancement values when you exemp), so it's impossible to allow people to move slots around since the same won't know if it's legal for a slot to be moved to a certain power. It's been like this since the start, and the devs never fixed it, instead working around it by implementing the Exemp system the way it is. If they'd started recording the levels slots were placed when this arose (Bridger pointed it out in i5 or i6 or so) then chances are the vast majority of builds would now have valid slot level info via people respeccing or creating new characters.

Mids of course does remember what level each slot is from so you can easily move them around.

Nope. Although they will return to the area of effect quicker once it goes out now. If you're Tech or Magical origin you can light it with your Origin power too. I wouldn't really be bothered slotting it with the Posi Proc to be honest. The tiny AOE doesn't really make it worth it.

See, the OP managed to avoid that in the subject, and then you come along and sully the thread with your Carry-On-esque innuendo.

Well played sir!

Yep, if you're AOE heavy then more, weaker enemies seems to be a lot better than a few, tougher ones. Especially on a Brute where the number of attacks made on you boosts your Fury nicely too. Plus you'll earn Insps quicker too (and other drops when the bugs are fixed, although Salvage seems fine to me at the mo).

For me on my Stone/Fire it was a toss-up between slowly grind-soloing normal sized, even conning enemies, stopping to rest every few mins compared to using the MA and picking lots of relatively weak enemies and being able to keep on running thanks to the Insp drops they left. It was more powergaming, picking the number and difficulty of enemies which suited his playstyle better compared to standard missions. Now he can do the same outside the MA in normal missions, and has his End issues dealt with he hasn't been back in the MA.

Recipe for Mirth :

• Using one Wormhole take a spawn and place into a corner.

• Add a Crushing Field, one optionally seasoned with a few PROCs.

• Marinade the now tightly clustered enemies in an Oil Slick, making sure to coat them all thoroughly in the oil

• Using a heat source, such as the Origin Powers Apprentice Charm or Tasar Dart ignite the oil and flambe the enemies vigorously. More advanced cooks can use other sources such as a Fireball. Note how the enemies cannot escape the heat, but will continue to fall over in a slapstick fashion.

• While burning quickly add a Disruption Arrow and an Acid Arrow, to help soften the enemies further.

• Any enemies left standing after this should be beaten around the head, using whatever interesting implement Propel has decided to give you. Favourites include toilets and forklifts.

Grav/TA starts slowly (although since i16 gave a boost to levelling speeds between 5 and 25 this won't be as bad as it used to be) but from level 20 onwards basically every power is a good un. Having 2 ranged holds is nice, for dealing for bosses. Having 2 ranges AOE holds is nice for dealing with everyone else

The Lightning Storm does have a decent accuracy (about the same as if it had a level 50 Common Accuracy IO slotted in it) but your Set Bonuses shouldn't affect it any more than they would any other pet.

You could 6 slot it with 2 PROCs and 4 Dam/Recharge and it'd give full damage & recharge plus the effects of the two procs, but the End costs might be a bit high.

Glad I could, erm, help

Are you using VMWare? My home laptop is Vista only and I'd like to get Linux available on it too. Tried a USB installation but after a few minutes the machine seems to lose the connection to the USB drive (so suddenly, as far as it's concerned, the disk with the file system vanishes).

Aaaaand... it's fixed. It was something buried away in my Browser settings. I'd set the minimum font size years ago (I've been using the same configuration folder since Opera 6) and that was bypassing your style settings.

Sorry SP. I should know to double-check my own settings before reporting things

It's Fedora Redhat. 6 I think. I wouldn't worry about it too much if its just one distrib. It's more likely to be something odd with my settings rather than the Distrib I'm using I reckon. Let me have a look and see if I can spot anything I've got in my Opera settings before you go messing with other distribs.

10. It could indeed be a Linux only concern, I'll be able to check this evening when I get home. Zooming to 70% fixes it, and I can probably rig a fix via a View Mode stylesheet to get around it by forcing the font size.
