O2 Boost also provides potent resistance against Blue Mito End Draining.

Amazing.

I'm concerned about the SS TF, specifically Quartermain. Will there be a fix for this TF. Given the extaustive length of the TF, I find it hard to believe that a full team of 8 will be willing to spend all of the time required to make it to the end where multiple clicks are required. I've never done it, but have only read about the length required and some of the mission objectives. Will this TF be reduced or changed so that if a team decides to quit down, that it will be completable with any Team size? Perhaps have the required sychronized clicks pare down to be equal to the actual team size? I really want to get that badge one day, but I dont see it run often in the current state, and I'm sure it will decrease in frequency in the new state.

I was on a Quaterfield team on Saturday with a team that varied between 5 and 7 online. Spawns were for 8, anyway, since this was before the patch was applied. We finished in a little over 11 hours, including a 4 hour break.

Granted, if the spawns were smaller it would have gone faster - but the Inf payout was worth the extra trouble.

A) Always

Q) But why can't I help being aroused by that?

A) By reflecting deeply on our navels, with pie.

Q) How much pie?

A) Smurfette

Q) How much pie does it take to get to Saturn?

A. You've succeeded at breaking the english language!

Q. Why isn't this in Forum Games?

You may want to add more to the useability of the table.

I have it on one character and my interest in getting it on others is negligible since I need it most while I am pursuing it (mega crafting in the market while buying salvage and recipes).

I probably haven't used it 10 times since I got it last year.

I use the table to grind invention salvage into base components with the vain and twisted idea that I might some day get Fabricator.

Maybe even today! *sigh*

My two cents:

Obviously this is a middle ground between "how it used to be" and "how it is now on Live." Despite a substantial amount of rational arguments in favor of scrapping the change altogether and reverting back to the old system, the rednames seem adamant on shaking things up for god knows what reason...

To reiterate my original statement about farming Task / Strike Force and Trial statements for RMT purposes and to echo Positron's follow up statement; the reason for the change to these missions is to curb the following behavior:

8 people start a Task Force.
7 people log off and allow the 1 character that's a strong solo build to solo to the end.
The 7 other people log on just before the finish.
Complete the mission and 8 people obtain Pool C rewards for the work of 1 person.

The above behavior is something that we are not allowing to continue.

We understand that there is more work that can be done on these missions. We appreciate and value your feedback on that front.

Of course, a hybrid solution could do the same thing:
-The TF spawns a number of mobs according to a team size generated by the following rule:

The Greater of:
<ul type="square">[*]The lesser of the minimum number of team members needed to begin the task force and the number of team members still in the task force, regardless of login status[*]The number of team members currently logged in[/list]
Of course, that would be really hard to explain to some people...

I wonder if/how flashbacks would be affected....

Assault bot: Get it at level 24, 6 slot by 31

[/ QUOTE ]

Were it only possible....

Assault Bot is available at level 26, no sooner.

Chance for Build Up (both Gaussian and Decimation) give a 0% buff if it's user is exemplared when it goes off (regardless of relative level to the IO). The buff works properly if it's user is not exemplared.

Only the -Runspeed is enhanceable.

This thread could always use another bump.

It seems to have been perma-bumped!

Nice!

...I really need to update my base pics, too. Hmmm...

...You almost make me want to write a guide now.

Hmm...what do I know that I could write a guide on?

Two desks to a layer. That hides the bottom row of the bookshelves, but it's relatively seamless.

Okay, so you got me there.

Are those crafted, then? I've only looked closely at the ready-to-build type stuff.

I know that

Force Field Generators, under defensive items.

They cost a pretty penny, too!

*awe*

Wow. That's an awesome base!

Wow...

The talent level here just spiked again.

The facial expressions are perfect. The style is amazing, and the colour and shading are beautiful.

What you're experiencing is normal, and nothing to worry about. The best comparison I can manage would be my experience in learning to play the piano. I've got a very, well, mechanical sort of style to playing. My songs can be as devoid of expression as the face of a pro Poker player (lol), but sometimes inspiration comes and a piece of my personality, my soul, comes to light in music.

But enough about me.

It sounds like you've plateaued. Anyone, in any occupation or hobby, will plateau sometimes. When you first get there, the setting before you may seem like an endless wasteland. The people that you see around you all seem to be climbing and climbing, constantly bettering themselves, while you feel that you're wrestling to even hold your ground.

That's a trick of perception. As you make your creative effort and expand yourself, the entire struggle remains with you. Every hour lost from sleep as you grasp at the threads of your mind and try to knit them into something coherent, every passing second where you hadn't yet made the breakthrough. It's easy to reach the conclusion that you're not trying hard enough, or that you lack the talent of your peers when all of this is with you - but what do you see of them? You see many people pouring out their new ideas in colour and lines and ink and pixels, and are lost in the endless maze of other people's inspiration. You probably don't see their sleepless hours trying to grasp at the threads of their mind and knit them into something coherent, or the passing minutes to hours to days where they seem to be stuck in a rut, struggling with an idea yet not producing. It's there for everyone, often at different times.

I'm reminded of High School, in a typing class. My clicks on the keyboard were slow and arhythmic, yet all around me there was a constant thunder of hundreds of keystrokes from my dozens of peers. The class as a whole seemed to be typing a hundred times faster than I was, and it was discouraging.

But what I was hearing was just dozens of people, slowly and methodically clicking the keys as they learned their way around them. Each struggle was internal, and most likely half of them felt and heard the same thing I did, while the other half didn't care and was aimlessly banging at keys. In the end, I became a pretty decent typist, and you could argue that I'm better off for it.

Still, for all of this, it seems you've got a lucky path through the wall of self doubt. You say you can write and draw for yourself - so do that, first. Write something that you enjoy, or rather a whole bunch of things that you enjoy. Find someone that you can trust to share it with, and do that.

I'll admit that I can't understand or fully appreciate the struggle you go through with Asperger's Syndrome, but I can promise you that the best solution is never to shut oneself away from the rest of the world.

So, one lonely guy to another - cheer up.

Comrade is a great design. It makes excellent use of the costume options.

Comrade ftw.
