I think he's talking about CO, not DCUO.

Ignore anything that's not a mission objective. For Khan:

Mission 1:
- Jump towards the door of City Hall, kill the EB there.
- Ignore everything inside the hall, just kill Misadventure and company near the end.
- While killing the AV, have someone stealth to the troop transport and destroy it so the mission ends as soon as the AV drops.

Mission 2:
- Knowing where the troop portals are helps; just destroy them ASAP and exit the mission when Reichsman shows up.

Mission 3:
- Stealth to the boss at the end, and as soon as its dead, spread out to click on the blinkies. Down a lot of lucks so the mobs can't interrupt you by shooting at you.

Mission 4:
- Click the 5 portals only, don't bother fighting anything, don't even wait for everybody to be in the map. One person can do this while everybody else waits at the train.

Mission 5:
- Port to the end, drag Reichsman inside one of the small rooms. This way, as the AVs wake up, they'll run into the little room as well and get caught in the AOEs. Focus everything on Reichsman until he dies, then clean up the other AVs.

Total time is never over 30 minutes.

Server load does not equal population. Maybe the increase in load is not related to the number of people logged in, but rather to a change in infrastructure which caused the same number of people to increase the server load considerably.

Whoa, hold on, that's a lot of numbers. Hmmmm... nothing to hide inspirations? Inspiration rushes also add a lot of clutter.

Ah, crud, they aren't on this character. Still, the point stands: there are so many irrelevant icons, that I have a hard time keeping track of those that are relevant.

Look again at the screenshot. They are off.

Yes, and I agree with that. I guess I just keep answering out of inertia.

Better put an end to that. Good night, everyone!

Whoever zones first gets the star. Even in pre-formed leagues, I lost the star several times when going in due to my slow zoning time.

Well, how about this: people will pay 7 million for that crafted IO whether you craft it or someone else does. Some people don't like crafting, for whatever reason, and will just pay for the completed IO. You don't like to make a profit out of that? Okay, fine. But why not sell recipes expensive recipes you can get with your own Alignment Merits?

How many of those shards are from Hami raids or Apex/Tin Mage? How many from defeating EBs in ITFs? How much do you team?

The number was assuming only boss defeats, and solo, because those were the parameters requested. A team can steamroll bosses and EBs much faster.

The jump from rare to very rare won't significantly speed up anything. Rare pierces 1/2 of ED, very rare pierces 2/3; assuming you're slotting the core one (45% enhancement) that means you get a whopping extra 7.2% of whatever you're enhancing if you were already at the ED cap. If you aren't at the ED cap, the rare and the very rare give you identical benefits.

I'd be more interested in getting stuff for the other Incarnate slots rather than maxing the Alpha with a ridiculously expensive Very Rare.

In all honesty, we don't know yet what else is coming. Mender Ramiel's arc is soloable. Just because they're announced two incarnate trials doesn't mean that will be all the content in the issue -- that giant ship in IP smells like new story arcs to me.

It will be. The introduction post for it said that the badges can be earned over a period of several weeks or months.

You skipped a step. Right click the icon, select Properties, then click the "Change Icon" button in the dialog box that appears.

See this post.

It rewards a Favor of the Well, 100 million influence, a Pony non-combat pet, a "Table With Cake" supergroup base item, and an "I completed the BAF and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt!" costume piece.

Let's put this to rest: they're instanced. There were two leagues running at the same time, I was in one and Lady Sadako was in another.
