  1. I only use a second build on my support characters. I use one build primarily for soloing where I ignore team buffs/heals/rezzes and focus on my offensive strengths, and the second build is focused on supporting teammates.
  2. First time this happened to me was redside and I not only got chased down the elevator but when I exited the mission for a quick rest and heal I had the bejeezus scared out of me when the damn mob came out of the mission after me! They didn't attack. Just came out and immediately entered the building again, but Damn! that surprised the hell out of me.

    I got to go thru a hurricane at sea while I was in the Navy. Two things I saw that I'll never forget.

    First walking onto the Bridge and looking out at the horizon and seeing that it was vertical but gravity felt like I was standing normally. We rolled down the side of a wave so fast it took gravity a couple seconds to catch up.

    Second while on aft watch I saw a wave hit us broadside and the water that passed over us tore the heavy equipment forklift right off the flight deck. It was a huge vehicle that belonged to the Seabee unit that was on deployment with our ship.

    Animations for ranged powers could have attacks generating from the usual hands but also eyes, forehead, mouth, and chest. Those could be used in both standing and sitting positions. And crossbow could replace the bow for a sitting Archery/TA set.

    ignoring present participle of ig·nore (Verb)

    Refuse to take notice of or acknowledge; disregard intentionally: "he ignored her question".


    The fact that you have returned once again to post in this thread is proof that you aren't ignoring anything except the facts that refute your argument.


    A person who is ignoring a thread leaves and never clicks on it again to see what has been posted.

    haven't even noticed that premium members can sell on the AH, with a separate invention license to get things to be able to sell as well, before they are able to buy on the AH. I guess you can watch your INF disappear to premium members who can't buy what you sell. Are you happy about that little issue of decreasing supply?
    Apparently you haven't been playing the game very long. Supply is infinite. Resources (Inf, recipes, salvage, enhancements, inspirations, merits, etc) are not limited. One only has to play the game to get more. The truth is we delete/sell to vendors more stuff than we ever put on the market.

    So welcome to Wrongville, Population: You.

    I'm sorry to disagree with you and honestly I'm not trying to be callous but there are thousands if not millions of people with a lot less than you or I have (if I had to guess I'd say most with just the clothes on their backs) who move to what they hope will be better and safer places to live every day, and many of them are risking their lives to do it.

    There are consequences to our actions. If we choose to live in the Caribbean we have to accept hurricane damage as a fact of life. Same goes for tornado damage in Tornado Alley, earthquakes in California, Lava and ash damage if were living on a volcano, Avalanches if we live in high mountain areas, flood damage if we live in flood plains.

    Disasters that occur in unexpected locations don't meet my definition of occurring regionally so they do get my sympathy.

    Actually I was thinking along the lines of a hover chair but rockets work too especially for a more Steam Punk feel. That way players could get the most out of the travel powers.

    Or Hulks wearing purple pants and Super Jump?

    Get over it. Just because someone wants a Wheel Chair and uses Prof X as an example of someone that fights while in the chair doesn't automatically mean that he wants to use Telepathy as his choice of Power Sets.

    What do you think of actually having accurate server status on the server list in the game?
    If you bothered to read my responses you'd know I already answered that question. Tho I'm not surprised to learn that you didn't. The thing I don't understand is why you even care what other people post because you already told everyone that you are quitting the game and not coming back.

    It's great that you still want to make suggestions even tho you are leaving but it's seems kind of silly to get upset that people aren't staying on topic. You should relax and enjoy the ever dwindling time you have left instead of giving yourself an aneurysm over a discussion on a game forum.

    I suggest trying some breathing exercises to lower your stress. Burn some cinnamon incense, or scented candles and take slow deep breathes. In thru the nose and then exhale out thru the mouth. Let your mind go blank and breathe. In thru the nose . . . and out thru the mouth . . . In thru the nose . . . and out thru the mouth.

    See if that helps.

    That only makes sense using certain character concepts in others it's ridiculous. For example Prof X doesn't stand up whenever he wants to use his powers.

    I'd use it, but I think there are some powers that would either need a lot of redesign or they simply wouldn't be usable.

But what do I know, I'm a newb arn't I.
    I did say the answer we got wouldn't be liked.

    We were told if we wanted to store it we should craft the recipe and put the IO in storage.

    We've been asking for recipe storage since Issue 9 went live. No luck so far.

    Also modern Tornado warnings are computer generated and aren't required to have visual confirmation of an actual on the ground twister. It's like an axe murderer on the loose. You are told he may be in the area but you don't know if he's going to be coming through your front door.

    And while hiding in the basement, if you have one, is a potential way to survive, the loss of most if not all of your belongings can still be very traumatic.
    It's called Tornado Alley for a reason. If they want to play Polish Mine Detector and live on a bullseye I'm not going to feel sorry for them.


    Edit: Just for clarification my lack of sympathy only applies to loss of property. People getting injured or killed is something completely different.

    Floods can be mitigated/eliminated by not living in a sub-1000 year floodplain or making sure to have flood insurance (zero sympathy for people who build million dollar houses next to rivers and lakes and act surprised when they get flooded out). Tornadoes...eh. Lived with 'em all my life. I'd like to experience an earthquake just once to see what its like. Tropical storm is not really anything more than a wet tornado.

    For those thinking earthquakes are limited to areas like New Zealand and California.

    especially about fires.

    But I don't limit my zero sympathy to the rich flood victims. I spread it equally amongst most of the natural disasters that occur regionally. They know the damn things are going to happen sooner or later and they still chose to live there. Screw'em, they deserve it.

    I remember reading some observations by Jack L Chalker that when he decided to write some Fantasy novels he realized that there are only three styles of Fantasy stories.

    The first being an idealized quasi medieval universe with Lords and Ladies and serfs as the mere background unless the hero/ine was raised as a serf not knowing his destiny for greatness

    The second being some variation on the Hyborean universe with the focus on barbarian adventurers or sorcerer/upper class rulers with lower classes/thralls as mere background unless the hero/ine was raised . . .you get the picture.

    And the third being a hybrid of the first two.


    So yeah that Eddings can write the same basic story four different ways and they are still entertaining is a respectable achievement.

    You won't like the answer. None of us do, and we've all been quick to point out the flaws in the explanation we were given.

    So here it is. The devs don't want us storing recipes in bases because they felt it would lead to hoarding. They told us they came to the conclusion that not allowing recipe storage in bases will encourage players to either craft the recipes or put them up for sale on the market.

    Now the reality is that we hoard the damn things anyway. We just jump thru hoops to do it.

    We all hope the devs will change their minds on this, hopefully it will be something coming after Freedom is released.
