I remember going back and doing the Posi TF for that accolade. Pick up group, eight member, a couple true newbies... EIGHT HOURS LATER!!! I had my badge and swore not to swerve if I was driving a train and saw Pos on the tracks.

Ouch. Much better method is to solo it. Get two other people (it needs 3 to start), one of whom is willing to leave their character on the TF (they can log out, but not quit it).

Then solo it, spawning for two, at your own pace. I've done this on a scrapper, controller and tanker. I'm sure I could do it with a blaster or defender - I just haven't.

I actually ran a LRSF while high on ecstasy and mushrooms.

[/ QUOTE ]
One of my friends told me he had watched Star Trek - The Voyage Home while on mushrooms. When they traveled back in time, during the sequence with the odd sounds and the floating heads, he started screaming and the other people there had to talk him down.

Drugs are bad, m'kay?

I could have SWORN that I saw a way to write a bind that will target based on the level/class of the Enemy. Ex: a way to target only bosses, or a way to only target enemies that conn Red to me.

[/ QUOTE ]
Not in this game. You can target by name or general categories (like enemy, pet, ally, etc).

So, really, you're just here to argue, right?

"I suspect that were the staff to demonstrate an increased awareness of the concerns of at least a minority of the players in the game, and future good-faith actions taken to prevent similar such situations, I would return."
Gee, it doesn't look like you've left.

[ QUOTE ]
Noone has. It is a BS badge that forces people to afk farm to get it....which is stupid.

[/ QUOTE ]
The facts seem to contradict your diatribe.

[ QUOTE ]
Is it normal to take straight up "Taunt", or is there enough threat from the other abilities to make it obsolete?

I have seen some builds with it and some with out across the various Tanker posts.

[/ QUOTE ]
I would think a big reason for this is that different people have different plans/goals for their tanks. I have one tank specifically built for fighting AV's, GM's, even Hamidon. You better believe he has Taunt (and it's five-slotted).

On the other hand, I have an ice tank with both auras, two AoE's (one PBAoE and one ranged) and three single-target ranged attacks. I didn't take Taunt and never missed it.

[ QUOTE ]
How about adding a similar mechanic to the "beginner's luck" accuracy bonus that they put in a few issues ago where you start with a large recovery bonus that slowly fades away as you reach level 20?

[/ QUOTE ]
This could work. Actually, I would propose something a bit different - an inherent for all AT's that gives a recovery bonus of, oh, maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of unslotted Stamina, but which DOES NOT STACK with Stamina.

This makes life a little easier at low levels; it makes life a little easier for people who try to do without Stamina, and it has no impact on people that choose to take Stamina.

[ QUOTE ]
My scrapper is a spines/regen. I currently have no end problems and my health is only an issue when doing things like the ITF or going after the big groups on the wall in Cimerora or the RWZ. I am currently leaning towards selling so I can get a few more sets that offer melee and smahing damage defense bonuses.

[/ QUOTE ]
I pretty much agree. I'd sell it, but then I'd probably go after global accuracy or global recharge bonuses.

Sure, and it works the other way, too - getting multi-million infl recipes for 5K infl.

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, you have a case of "We're not doing it because it's easy, we're doing it because it's HARD!" syndrome.

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

I have got to admit. I'm surprised by the conviction and varying results regarding what color Sally cons. I personally love Croatoa, and I've seen Sally con every color available. From Grey to Purple, to everything in between (I distinctly remember seeing her con Blue once).

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm positive she conned pink once.

[ QUOTE ]
Or is there? I'm just curious if anyone has managed to get this badge through regular game-play. If so, is it because you only play one char. Also, what type of char was it? I can see a Regen based character having a strong advantage for this.

[/ QUOTE ]
My badger got it before I actually decided to hunt badges with him. He's /regen and it was before hitting 50, but I exemped for TF's a lot on the way to 50.

Also, I believe one of my tanks hit 50 with 4 damage badges and 1 debt badge.

[ QUOTE ]
Milady's, that sounds pretty clever. I now have the Numina unique slotted in transfusion for a total of five Numinas there. I have been considering going to 6 Numinas there for the Ranged Defense bonus... but I could then go to four instead and move the Unique to Health?

[/ QUOTE ]
You're aware that Transfusion has to hit the enemy, right? Most people slot some accuracy in it, or an Accurate Healing set. Of course, if you have a ton of global accuracy bonuses, no problem.

[ QUOTE ]
If I slot it in Health, should I 4-slot health to allow room for it? To the get the max HP bonus from 3 IO 50 Health and the Miracle: Recovery thing?

[/ QUOTE ]
What AT are you? For most AT's, in my opinion, it's a waste to slot 3 heals in Health. Certainly, for any AT with even the poorest self-heal, it's really a waste.

[ QUOTE ]
Has there been any estimate on when I16 will be out?

[/ QUOTE ]
Plenty. The estimate I agree with is mid/end October.

[ QUOTE ]
Can we get some more info

[/ QUOTE ]
No. Your next piece of info will be when Issue 16 hits the test server. Until then, save your breath.

I just logged in and tested the power and it looks fine to me. I stomped a few groups and did notice one thing - you get that expanding shockwave effect at the stomping foot *AND* around each enemy that you're hitting.

Is it possible that you're standing in a crowd and seeing the effect coming from multiple locations? If not, then it seems to be just you. It looked perfect just now for me.

Definitely not. Furthermore, it's possible to complete the mission with Black Swan 'legit' without getting kill credit (she's not part of the mission objective).

I went to buy a second booster pack(I had bought one earlier this morning) today and it told me to go pound salt. So, I called billing support. You can get the number from the support tab at the plaync website. I was told that it is a random security feature that will occasionally block the second purchase in the same day.

[/ QUOTE ]
Fascinating. Well, that explains the randomness we've seen. It actually is random whether it blocks you.

Same here on scanning all threads with new posts.

As for the 'new rule', it sounds very reasonable but, quite frankly, I've ignored the no bumping rule when I really needed to (once ever). As I recall, I didn't have a response in almost 2 days so I bumped it. Someone posted 'no bumping'. I replied to that post re-explaining my problem so I effective got 3 bumps there.

My personal impression is that any minor rules (like no bumping) can safely be ignored as long as you don't make a habit of it (like I said, I've broken that rule once ever). Worst case scenario - some forum cop calls you on it and you disregard them.

Many people consider the game unplayable with 512MB of RAM. And, in some cases, it literally is.

You'd want 2GB of RAM and a much better video card for sure. This would almost certainly mean a new power supply. It might require a new motherboard - that one can handle up to 8x AGP but no PCI-E.

So, yes, time to get a new computer.


P.S. Overall, though, that's not a bad system considering it only cost you $100. It's fine as long you don't want to game on it or run a big app like Photoshop.

This is the fourth character you've thought about bringing. You're so indecisive. Or maybe not.

Info kiosks are one of those things like hazard zones and mission-unlocked stores that are relics from obsolete MMO design that nobody actually liked, and this was handily missing from redside.

[/ QUOTE ]
Nonsense. No one was forcing anyone to use the info kiosks. There was no inconvenience imposed on people.

As for level-restricted zones, if what you say is true, then presumably there would not have been any new ones after CoV came along and was 'missing' them. Can you say 'Cimerora'?

[ QUOTE ]
Keep an eye on your challenge rating.. I went back on a hero to get the isolator badge and forgot to set my rating back to 1.. Yeah, 2 powers against hordes of infected was NOT fun

Issue 16, solo, difficulty set to invincible, team size set to 8. Flashback to Outbreak.

[ QUOTE ]
Now if they'd fix globals missing chat while you zone... (or have they fixed that?)

[/ QUOTE ]
No, they have not. I had it happen a couple days ago (on live). The only reason I noticed it is that I had 2 accounts running - one was zoning and never saw several global channel messages that DID show up on the other account.
