The hardest part for the vils was the fact that they WERE villains. So I couldn't cross over to partake of the more copious teaming opportunities blue-side.
That and I missed out on a level or two when I noticed that my MM was set to just get double inf when exemped instead of still getting XP...
Also it was rough going because, though I knew about Bodyguard mode for MMs, I wasn't using it (I don't MM a whole lot, and thus it was occupying a back-tray someplace after respec).
And DEAR GOD was "Army of Me" a massive fuster-cluck for me! Took forever!
Addendum:
Ran my Fire/Rads group tonight as well. First mish we had was my hero morality mish, "One Good Spider".
Dear flipping BOB it was carnage! We had people spouting head-glowies left and right! -

Bah! Just generate the hyperlink for your build. Then stick it in TinyURL. -
If you can be patient, give Intel a month or two to get the new spins of Sandy Bridge out the door and the various OEMs to get their boards retooled.
Unless you absolutely HAVE to buy it now OR ELSE.
And, on the bright side, it's a little extra time to save up some additional capital (or wait for your income tax return). -
Quote:I remember my first year at Fort Drum, NY (just north of Watertown).Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
Not winter is Road Construction season.
Erie, PA here, Great Lakes snowbelt. Our average snowfall is just under eight feet. Which isn't much, all things considered. But holy cow, I am tired of double digit negative windchill. My dog won't go outside either, Ironik.
Average morning temps of 30 degrees below (before windchill).
We got us this new post commander who'd spent most of his little career at Fort Hood, TX. So he had some stupid notion of "It's never too cold to do PT.
Two words for that:
MY
!
At those temps, cold weather injuries are almost instantaneous, especially for someone dressed in PT gear.
This is why the post had a LARGE and well appointed fitness center.
He tried pulling an all-post PT session on us in the middle of February.
2 people showed up. The post commander and his aide to report that everyone else had gone to sick call that morning. Then aide then reported that he was going to sick call and left as well.
Needless to say, after a little sit-down with all the doctors involved in the MEDDAC, said commander revised his opinions. Especially after being informed about a situation involving a butter bar that took her company out into the field with inadequate cold weather gear and field heaters, resulting in more than half the company contracting cold weather injuries (and roughly 10% of those being severe enough to require surgical interventions). -

Born and raised in WI. Living in FL.
The amusement value of people complaining how COLD it is (and "How can you wear a T-shirt, it's FIFTY THREE DEGREES!") doesn't lessen much. (And yeah, I'd rather be back somewhere with seasons other than "Wet," "Hot," and "Tourist.")
All the long-time natives are running around in winter parkas. And here's my old man wandering around in shorts and a t-shirt.
Now they live in Florida and seem to be much happier there (Vegas is a nice place to live if you have the cash to support a social life of heading out to the casinos every couple nights, otherwise it palls really really fast). -

Quote:As TA said, you still get more powers. You just get them less frequently (plus the powers tend to be more potent), and you get a lot more slots to start fleshing out and filling in powers that may have, prior to this, gone underslotted.Originally Posted by BigBoss Eyepatch
Hey guys, just a quick question. Once you get past level 30, how does the power and slots work?
I just turned 31 on the weekend, and I had 3 slots instead of 2. Also, what about powers? Do I still get to choose powers every even number just like I did prior to 30?
Many thanks. -

Here in Chicago, we have three seasons. Winter, "Not Winter" and "Road Construction" -
Quote:They do go on.Originally Posted by Noxilicious
I'm just wondering, I still keep seeing Mothership and Hami Raids around, but I've yet to see any Cathedral of Pain trials being formed ever since they got reintroduced. Am I just unlucky and I'm just not around when they're being formed? Do I need to be a member of a secret society before I get to join the trial?
Also for what it's worth I play pretty much entirely on Virtue.
It's just that, due to the fact that the raid is all or nothing (no rewards at all if you fail), it's not as popular as other raids or TFs where, at least you have Inf, XP, Prestige and drops to show for it. -

I have to say that until very recently I have eschewed taking Tough and Weave. I guess I didn't understand the benefit and didn't want to get stuck with Boxing as I have always preferred Air Superiority.
But after reading the Tanker forums with everyone and their brother's builds all having Tough and Weave and hearing the benefits, I broke down and respecced two of my tankers to include these two powers.
With the level 50 Invuln/SS tank I only had trouble with some Rikti War Zone missions as I was set to 6 people. The only time I ran into problems was with the Mentalists who, being psychic, were able to get through my defenses.
One of us. One of us. One of us.
Quote:My level 29 WP/SS tank really tested out the new build in the Ray Cooling arc, specifically the last one. As I was taking on the Zeus Titan solo I noticed my health bar really didn't move at all. My endurance was another matter and I was sucking wind through out the entire fight.
I thought to myself that I'm doing so well, let's drop Tough and Weave to save some endurance. Then I noticed my health starting to go down. I quickly turned Tough and Weave back on and my health started to go back up to max.
So I really have to say that I am now a total convert of Tough and Weave. I'm still severely missing my beloved Air Superiority but will have to accept the loss.
Still can't figure out why my endurance sucks as I have both Quick Recovery and Stamina, each 3 slotted with end modification. I should not have been sucking wind that badly.
Actually yeah, you should. Honestly you have a lot of toggles running (and one with a crash). But your attacks on top of that contribute a buttload. This is why I tend to choose Energy Mastery for my tanks.
Then I can start mashing buttons to my heart's content.
Try getting your +End accolades if you haven't already. They help. A LOT. -

Hey guys,
I thought this would be a fun little thread. Post pics of the real you so we can see who we're teaming with (or against). This is the real me and yes it's my real hair.
JEEZE dude! You could put someone's eye out with those!
Oh well. It's your sanity man...
Here's one from a few years back.
Unfortunately, my hairline has become something more like a hair-U, with a fuzzy little umlaut above the U. Could be worse I guess. Could have gotten my great-uncle's hair (as in NONE).

Quote:On a 3 team raid, 5 people would get two credits, everyone would get one for the last.Originally Posted by Smofzilla
I don't think you'd actually enjoy accelerated progress toward the badge, since you have to quit the team to set the bomb. In fact, it seems like overall progress would be slowed. (On a 32-person raid, using standard tactics, 32 person-bomb credits are earned for 4 bombs. On a 32-person raid, using 18/18 tactics, only 18 person-bomb credits are issued.)
Or am I missing something?
On a 4 team every team would get 4 bombs with two remainders.
So it's always N-1 with N=the number of bomb assigned to the team who would get double credit.
So credit for the badge is slightly faster. What's more, no need to watch a timer to see when to start planting again. -
I second the recommendation for Filezilla.

Any good way to get a picture of the motherboard (high res) and post it here?
It might help if we can see how you've got things plugged together. -

Also, sometimes I notice that when you log on a character you do so coming out of a door. I dont know why they make it like that but they should at least make it so that it can't happen with a door that leads to nowhere.

Quote:No! No!Originally Posted by seebs
The problem is, when common salvage sells for 100k, people complain that "flippers" are "manipulating prices".
And yet. During a period where there was never a single minute during which you could not get ancient bones for 1 inf. People paid well over 100k. Repeatedly.
There is no way that this counts as flippers manipulating prices. Sometimes, when things are selling for 100k, it's not because people are asking 100k for them, it's because people just bang on the keyboard and click make offer.
You're wrong! Totally wrong man! It's a conspiracy!

Okay first off.
"Perma-granite?"
I take it you mean Granite with enough End-Red to not bleed your blue bar dry during regular combat?
Well, others have pointed out a few things to you already. So here's another point of reference, my Stone/Fire.
Nice, build. Not a SUPER damage-monster. But more than tough enough to AFK +2x8 mobs with little trouble.
And S/L/E/N/F/C capped plus.
