Yes.

But I agree with Chad Gulzow-Man. Since you are still a very new player, you should gain some experience before you worry about how fast you gain experience. I mean that you as a player should gain more experience.

I can't count the number of times that I've heard a PLed level 50 character say "This game blows, where's all the content?"

You skipped past all of it PLing to 50. The stuff on the way to 50 IS the content, for the most part. If you want to get to 50 ASAP so you can join in the awesome end-game raids...you're going to be very disappointed. Take your time and enjoy the game, there is no real reason to blow through the game just to have a level 50 character.

When AE first came out, there were hundreds, maybe thousands, of brand new players that thought Atlas Park was the entire game. Thankfully most of them have gone on to become decent players, or have left. The game is more geared toward creating many characters, instead of just playing one and grinding for new gear. Personally, I have 6 level 50 characters.....and I've been playing for 4 years. I have dozens of lower level characters, and they are ALL fun to play.

I think Praetoria is covered by "all zones"

The Punisher is another example. He's sort of a good guy, but he's wanted by every law enforcement agency in the world for hundreds or even thousands of murders. He's a good guy by the only standard he cares about: his own. Criminals fear him the way they would never fear the police. There is no appealing his sentence, no jury to buy off, no witnesses to intimidate. If the Punisher catches up to you, you're a dead man. Criminals know that he will not hesitate to kill them, whereas the police will arrest them, and they can get out of it on a technicality. No technicality in the world has ever brought someone back from the dead.

I suspect that just because you're a bad guy gone good all is not going to be forgiven. You know all the Longbow and cops that hang out in paragon City? How much do you want to bet they're going to attack any Rogues they see? The life of a Rogue is probably going to be a dangerous one.

Sorry, I have an issue with this mentality.

You should not ask 7 complete strangers to adapt to YOUR character. If those 7 people were getting along fine, it is YOU that needs to adapt to THEM.

I have kicked players for bringing that mentality to my teams, and I don't see my stance changing on it. Minor adjustments are one thing, but someone saying the entire team needs to change what they're doing is another thing entirely.

It is entirely possible to use knockback intelligently enough to make your presence an asset instead of a liability.

Examples:

Running into a room and firing Energy Torrent at the first mob you see = dumb knockback.

Sliding around to the side of a mob to knock any stragglers within the tank's taunt aura = smart knockback.

Very seldom will it take more than a couple seconds to figure out the best use of your powers. People's issue isn't with Energy Blast so much as it is with the fact that they never know when they invite an Energy blaster if they're getting a good one, or a retarded monkey with a trayful of knockback. You can tell which one you have by the end of the first mob.

The "Werner Might Die" challenge?

Wouldn't that technically make it 595% of the base (unslotted) damage of the power?

100% would be the power itself.

The 95% would be damage slotting (you can get it to 100%, but it gimps other aspects of the power if you do)

The remaining 400% would be the possible damage boost you can attain. (probably not going to happen without a kin around)

I'm assuming you mean sections of the zone in outdoor maps?

Or parts of the zone like in safeguard and mayhem missions?

If that's the case, the only ones I know of that don't are Striga Isle, Dark Astoria, The Hollows, Boomtown, Eden, and Crey's Folly.

Actually, I see his point on that one. Yes, Regen on brutes would heal insanely fast and be nearly indestructible. But, Quick Recovery in a set with only ONE toggle? That would guarantee a brute would never, ever slow down at all. Part of the balance point of Fury is that it is nearly impossible without IOs to keep going indefinitely. You WILL run out of endurance sooner or later. Brute Regen would completely screw that balance point up by being nearly unkillable due to stupid high passive regen levels combined with 3 click healing powers,and it would also be able to sustain fury indefinitely as long as there are mobs to fight.

"But Willpower gets Quick Recovery!" (figured I'd reply to this now, since someone is bound to bring it up)

True, Willpower does get Quick Recovery. But Willpower also has 4 toggles within the set to run, which eats into the extra recovery from QR. It is common for Regen scrappers to not even bother slotting Integration for end reduction, and they STILL end up with an endurance surplus. That's because they only have the 1 toggle to run. Add in Tough and Weave, Regen has 3 toggles to run, while Willpower has 6. That's why it's not so gamebreaking for brutes to have QR in WP, but it would be to have Regen with it.

My answer is D: All of the above.

A lot of sets offer either recovery bonuses or max endurance bonuses, and they almost always have endurance reduction built in.

Get all the accolades. There's +10 max end right there.

Recovery bonuses are the 2 slot bonus on most sets they exist in, and max end bonuses are, for some reason, often the 4 slot bonus. Some sets even have both in them.

Yay! Hube is answering a question instead of asking one!

Just givin' ya crap
