  1. The numbers posted are pretty interesting. Looks like the quiet word is out that we are angling for #1. I've been playing this game for more than 78 months and I CAN'T WAIT to say that I'm in a Top 10/Top 5/The NUMBER ONE SG on a server. After that, I'm aiming for NUMBER ONE SG IN THE GAME.

    I've got the time.
  2. What amount of prestige are you looking for/starting at? IE, how much prestige are you looking for, to make the SG purchase a viable option?
  3. Doesn't wossname Dresden actually play this game with Dresden Dresden as his main?

  5. Goodbye, teeth. I will only drink soda from now on.
  6. Is this different from the other thread?
  7. S'up. Pretty much everyone in this game is like that. We're not like other MMOs.

    I haven't had much lag to talk about for quite some time now. Possibly years. My computer, btw, is ten years old. So then.

    Or I might go with cardiac for end reduction. All those AoEs recharging quickly use up a lot of endurance. You could then decide whether you want a little more resistance or a little more range. I think that range is the better choice but both work well with a crab.
    I appreciate the advice, and I'll check that out. Thanks!
  10. I am too tired to meet multiple standards. I'm out.
  11. They are also arbitrarily enforced across a wide playing field, and that is frustrating. I know what I can and cannot say for person A, but not for person B.
  12. Well see that I get. Sounds like you and I are going to do a lot of the same things.
  13. This popped for me yesterday, after the server clock ticked over.

    Yay, 78. Heading down the track to 81.

    However, if you want to get clever, powers which you would have previously slotted with three common IO (or +3 SO) enhancements, you can now slot with two, freeing up enhancement slots to use in different powers.

    There is a huge range of posibilities though. You might go for Nerve Radial. If you had Combat Training: Offensive, you would never need to slot another accuracy enhancement in any power, and you would be able to push up your defense total as well. Or consider Musclature radial. Ever slot Supression for Defense Debuff? No? Well, it is now, and it does more damage as well. Or with Cardiac Core Paragon, forget about slotting those powers for end reduction, your damage resistance is increased, and all your ranged attacks have increased range. Very nice for cones like Supression.
    See, that's part of what I'm getting at. So now I can unslot two enhancements from all of my powers. Great, I just lost loads of purple set bonuses. Why would I want to do that?

    I get that the balancing act is part of the fun/challenge of this, but the Alpha Slot abilities don't seem complimentary at all.

    Oh. I figured it out. NM.

    Goes to show, mind you, that not all men are the same. So there.
  16. Hey Leo. Thank you for the news. Will definitely be thinking about her.
  17. Mostly I just dance, but I've heard that the SG has a big barbecue pit for burning money in. The hard part is going to be making the whole shebang (that is, the project itself) artistic.

    Or you could always delete it. That is amazingly amusing.

    Newp, you're good. In fact, a day or so in between each one should do the trick.
  20. I'm still not seeing any benefit, outside of the level shift and an ED-immune boost to a single aspect of a power. I know, that's not too shabby. Even so. with respect, the example that was provided to me was a regen/scrapper. What if I wanted to do something with my Crab Spider?

    Still confused.

    That is a pretty sweet idea.

    Also, I have characters that may unlock the slot for the sake of content, but regardless of how far they progress I will never think of them as Incarnates.
  22. You have to wait a while between purchases. It's to prevent fraud, IE someone using a stolen card to buy every pack and booster all at once.
  23. Hrm. Not convinced, but maybe I'm not aware of little bits and pieces of powers that have +slow and +debuff and etc. stuff added in. I've always slotted holds for hold, slows for slow, damage for damage. Is there something I'm missing?

    Thanks for holding my hand.
  24. I get that the higher levels are less reduced by ED, and I like that. I still don't understand why any of the extra stuff is on there, though--they sort of all seem designed for Controller/Dominator-type sets only. Again...I'm still not getting it.

    It didn't make sense to me the first time we tested them, and it still doesn't make any sense to me now.

    You are pretty intense in your inaccurate generalization of men. I would disagree with you quite vehemently.
