    I agree it's skippable, but I took it and have just the one slot with the Steadfast unique. Hey, 3% def is 3% def.

    Fascinating. Did you notice that the link color is different in his post and in your quote? Also, both are different from the links in his sig. Have the two of you changed some default settings, perhaps? Because my links don't look like either of those colors.

    We're not that self-centered.
    We care about what *IS* good. Of course, this is a value judgment and subject to differences of opinion.
    Disagreeing with you does not make us petty, self-centered or whatever word you used that was censored.

    NOW can we retire this thread?
  6. This is the internet. We can take any action as fervent support for whatever position we like.

    New Cape Mission

    Yes. Once the percentage of enemies remaining hits a certain number, based on the original total, they will become visible on your mini-map.

    Aside from your character doing well against Rikti, the only reason to focus on the Warzone would be if you are also after Vanguard Merits for the costume parts and temp powers. Of course, these will do nothing to boost your influence.
  9. The Taunt sound effect seems particularly prone to problems. For a while my dark melee tank made no sound at all when taunting. The animation played, but no sound at all. That got fixed a couple months ago.

    I would mind it. It would be completely absurd that you could walk invisible through a room full of enemies and the perfectly visible person following you, who the enemies went to the trouble of kidnapping, attracts no attention.

    Absolutely correct. And believe me, they're out there. That's why I don't do PuG TF's.

    I don't agree. It seemed easy enough with about 15 heroes and no debuffs so I think well-built teams will keep doing it for the merits and won't mind others coming along since it does not diminish their merits.
  15. They probably do, but not a safe assumption since the Shivan has a duration and the Heavy does not. I believe the illusion Phantasm (no duration) will follow you across zones, but Phantom Army (has a duration) will not.

    2 Ouestions

    The kilt is a veteran reward and is not available until your account has been active for 9 months.

    The snowball is a temporary power associated with the Winter Event. The event was tested one day this week so people were able to get the power early. You will have the chance to get it, as a random present or by buying it in the Ski Chalet, once the event starts (my guess is Monday the 14th).

    Grey is for: **** you all.
    Actually, from what I see, lots of green means one of three things:
    1) the person is popular
    2) the person is helpful
    3) the person is a rep farmer

    Red rep is much simpler. People with red rep pretty consistently seem to be jerks. They just THINK they're daring/visionaries/nonconformists/etc.

    Yeah, now I'm really chalking it up to perception. When someone starts talking about intuition and drop rates, it's due to a shortage of facts and statistics.

    I recall a line from my grandmother - "I like cats fine, as long as they don't touch me or come near me."

    Oh look! Now the original post isn't saying anything at all!

    HP aren't the only factor. The Lord of Winter was far easier to defeat than Reichsman. Two teams could do it pretty fast (WELL within the timer) with no debuffs at all. With the right powersets, a single team could walk all over him.
  22. Yeah, I was slotting an AoE hold and calculated the numbers I could get with 5 acc/hold/rech pieces...... Just one problem. Only FOUR hold sets actually had an acc/hold/rech piece. Still, I got pretty good numbers in 5 slots.

    P.S. I didn't even look at purples since the character was too low.
  23. When you say "full salvage racks", is that the current 30 items full or the 'legacy able to hold 2500 items' full?

    What would happen if somebody who has access to both sides enters a PvP zone?
    Well, we were already informed that, even if someone can access both sides, they will only be able to access EITHER Wentworth's OR the Black Market. PvP zones could work the same way.

    Yet my invuln can tank anything in the game, up to and including Lord Recluse in the Statesman task force. At this point, I think we have to conclude that the problems lie elsewhere than the invuln set.
