  1. On some of my characters, when I get the reward table I receive the red text which reads "You must have completed your most recent Morality Mission as a Hero reinforcing your Hero alignment to claim this reward".

    Bwuh?

    I've never gotten this message before. All of my characters are either pure hero or pure villain, none of them are rogues/vigilantes.

    Two of the characters this happened to are level 50, but one was only level 19, and as never had an opportunity to even run a tip mission yet. All of the characters have alignment merits on their persons already as well.

    Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
  2. Congratulations! I wish the both of you many years of marital bliss!

  4. Something that can help with runners is the ability to have ranged attacks. Spine scrappers get two of them. Imaple is a mag 3 mobilize, and Throw Spines is a wide cone.

    The downside is that you look like a really big pincushion.

    I am putting a pin in this for later. I set the DVR last night, and will watch tonight!
  6. About two years ago I found myself weighing in at 260 pounds, and I am only 5'7". With my second child on the way, I decided some things needed to change if I wanted see my kids actually grow up.

    I have now lost nearly 100 pounds, run 20-30 miles a week, weight lift 3 days a week, and go to spin class 4 days a week. I have leveled up!
  7. What happened to Norton anyway? Typical Hollywood 'I want more money' syndrome?

    I can fly!

    OK I can't really fly, but over the past 20 years I have had a recurring dream that I can. It is always extremely vivid and realistic. I stand with my arms stretched out to either side, and begin to sway back and forth a bit in a field of trees. I eventually begin to float, and then fly, in a standing position with my arms stretched out to the sides.

    Then one of two things happen. I either end up in my old high school and float above everyone through the hallways, and up/over stairs, or I end up staying outside, flying over lots of beautiful settings and realizing that I have absolutely no idea how to get back down.

    The second scenario usually ends with me waking me up a little bit frightened.

    Anywho, do any of you have recurring dreams about superhuman abilities?

    Icy Bastion...

    I just created a spines/ice stalker and am playing it off as 'ice spikes' through the ice armor. She is only level 5, but the character looks good.
  11. I don't see them, but was curious about them.
    Could you provide the path down the tree?
  12. I think 'Lady Gaga' is pretty close... (tongue-in-cheek)

    The arc 2 EB is nasty on toast, and unless you are lucky, or have a build that works well this is a nasty fight, if you cant take down the adds easy, he will keep healing and he 2 hits squishies.
    I ran that arc 13 times yesterday on 13 alts (because I use the A-Merits to bank roll my newest characters):

    Corruptor (35, 50)
    Brute (50)
    Scrappers (20,50)
    Stalkers (40,50)
    Dominator (50)
    Widow (50)
    Crab (50)
    Warshade (49)
    Defender (50)
    Tank (50)

    I died once on my dominator (of all chars!) because I got a phone call from work. (Wednesdays I work from home, so it is a good day to solo these arcs for my characters). I also ran it a second time on a few characters for the second A-merit. None of these characters are built to exemplar, I simply used lots of inspirations and played on +0/x1.

    My shortest time on the second SSA was about 10:30, and my longest (not counting the one I took a phone call for) was a little over 15:00. All of those times were longer than it take me to run SSA1 (usually right about 8:30).

    So, while I agree that the second arc takes longer, I don't agree that it is any more dangerous.

    • The fast Mission Teleporter temp power... I'd buy this all the time, so nice to just go to a mission especially Blue side which could be quite a long way off.
    I would buy this many times over. As a side note... where the heck did I get that anyway? I just used my last charge last night. :}

    Hmm. Excellent point, and one I had not thought of. I cannot seem to find mention of it on the wiki, but that doesn't mean you are incorrect.
  17. Unfortunately neither of these can be found in the character creator or in the store.
  18. same here, can't seem to find them in the store or in the character creator.

    What about for a player who doesn't bother with accolades? I never do, so I'm curious if (given that) it would be a good choice. It seems to me that with a high recharge build it would be pretty close to a permanent HP increase?
  20. Gratz man, a well built scrapper is a thing of beauty. Enjoy it!
  21. Gotcha. I kind of figured -50% resist would be waaay too much to ask for, but it sure would be neat!

    Thanks!
  22. Does anyone know what exactly the synergy is between these two powers?

    Slowed Response has a base -20% def and -22.5 res, but according to the description of the power it does (from memory) ~27% -res when Time Crawl is applied.

    Does that mean that the target with time-crawl applied suffers ~50 % -res, or does just the higher number apply?
