Oh, and never installing Acrobat.

Quote:I'm really glad you feel this way. Retaining the old, ugly options is a mistake. New players see the character creator before they see the shiny new Ultramode world; it's important that they not be turned off by ugly models.Originally Posted by Noble Savage
I absolutely have a preference for Option 1, because I think the game as a whole and new players in particular would be better served by that choice. I've made the case for consistency, evolution, etc.
edit:As of your post, it's 144 for option 1, 63 for option 2. Looks like the playerbase at large jives with Noble Savage's position.Quote:Originally Posted by Caligdoiel

Quote:As of this post the count is 134 for option 1 and 59 for option 2, give or take a couple for each side that I might have double counted or whatever.Originally Posted by Mega_Jamie
Preferable yes, but since the majority of this thread looks to be about 50/50. Maybe its the middle ground thats needed.

And back again; the elevator there is hero-only both ways. If you get ported down, the only way to get back on your own is to use one of the teleport special powers -- Pocket D Gold Card, Ouroboros Portal, base teleporter, or mission teleporter. I haven't tried the last one yet, but the other three blow away your accumulated tips. Which seems to me to be broken, at least for going to Pocket D. Leaving Pocket D to either side I can see blowing away your tips for the other side, but not going there, nor exiting to the same side you earned the tips on.
edit: the hero who ported you there can presumably take the ten seconds needed to walk back out and port you out again. -

One thing to consider is that redo-ing the menus and placement of items within them is, in itself, a significant amount of work for the Character and Tech teams. Assume that any menu work will consume 50% of the time available for any redos.
Bottom line, avoiding menu work is preferable and brings us back to Options 1 and 2. -
Voting option one.

Love to see "right click >> ignore this badge progress" or some such so it doesn't clutter my display. While we're at it how about a way to go about sorting the lists alphabetically or whatever?

I really like the kinetic melee sounds, and the electrical control sounds are decent too. Maybe your experience is subjective, and we don't need to pillory the sound people because tastes vary.

All my scraps have the same theme: Yakety Sax. Come to think of it, all my characters have that song as their theme.

It's cause they have some common sense! You're a scrapper fer Chrissakes, they know what you have planned for them!

If you're going to be random rolling, you are always going to be better off using HAM/VAMs than straight merits. Selling the dross will pay for the 20M per merit to convert.

I don't know what the attack will be, but I am betting it will be paired with a dose of Fiery Embrace for maximum goodness.

I'd farm alignment tips. In fact, I am doing so on a L30 character.

As far as I'm concerned, if you can't use it on a "Master Of" run, it's a temp power.

Quote:Yes you should start teams. It's easy, fun and works every time. Join your server's global channels to make it easier. The biggest pitfalls and dangers for team leaders are basically letting people get bored. Have a mish set, talk in team, keep people informed of what's going on. Don't hold up the team to find the perfect mix of ATs or anything; the game plays just fine with any old mix of competent (or not) players. Don't let the team idle at the mish door or inside the entrance waiting for everyone to get ready. A rule I follow is that if over half the team is ready to start the mission, we start and the rest can catch up. Make sure everyone knows what the team is gonna be doing; it sucks joining a team that you think is running papers and it turns out they are gonna start a SF or something. Oh and start easy and ramp up the diff as you go, nothing sucks worse than joining someone's team set for +4/x8 and the team wipes and suddenly everyone has to leave for SG stuff or dinner or whateverOriginally Posted by HawterThanOrange
So, I'm a level 22 villain, and I'm having a hard time getting into groups? Should I take charge (despite being rather new at all this) and start teams?
In praetoria, teaming is way easy, but once I got onto the isles, things seem a bit sparse.
Well, I'm already kind of decided on the whole taking charge idea, so what are the biggest pitfalls and dangers of being a team leader?
Enjoy! -

Quote:Yeah, you have no idea what the game is about or how it's changed since you quit in 2004. I can't wait for your Mission Architect review!Originally Posted by guy in sweaty t-shirtThis is insane because the game design forces you to replace your enhancements every five levels or so.
edit: seriously guy, just make even a token effort to actually learn about the game before you make a fool of yourself trying to review it.Quote:Originally Posted by guy in different sweaty t-shirtSo yeah, it turns out you just enter a mission full of Rikti Comm Officers and doorsit while the high levels kill them all and you hit 50 in two hours! -
It's a crap power with costs that people often don't consider. It costs the end to activate, plus the end to summon the pet you exploded, plus the end to rebuff that pet. In addition, it inherits the slotting of the pet, so slotting detonator with damage does nothing. It's not as bad as Repair or Poison trap from the poison secondary but it's right up there for things not to take on a MM.

Quote:Every tip you run expires in 20 hours. It's not cross-character, so if you've filled up your tip-o-meter for Captain Awesomesauce, feel free to switch to The Mighty Spatula and erun some on him, too.Originally Posted by doomrider
are we limited to 5 tip missions every 24 hours no matter what? or is it just character specific?

Verify that your MB is sending the correct voltage to your RAM, I had a similar issue when I upgraded my memory and it did exactly what you describe when I was unintentionally undervolting the memory.

I like teaming with anyone. Bad teammates are always bad because of the player, not the AT. Some ATs and powersets attract more bad players but that's to be expected.

Mmmm...same here. I put Numina and Miracle unique in Health.
I like that Health passive slot for Numina and Miracle. If we lose that slot, where do I put those two? Weird....
