  1. For all you badge hunters you do know that there is badges associated with vigilant and rogue tip missions don't you? You'd skip em going the instant route so...
  2. So 800 to switch once but 900 to be able to switch unlimited but some game play is required. Seems like a no brainer to me why would any buy this switch token?

    Yeah, that's the worst of the Skinner boxes - the kind that not only mire your progress in all manner of time sinks but occasionally simply take your progress away when they feel like it, and you're expected to just pick up the pieces and start over like a good little boy. I honestly have to wonder if South Koreans live such cosy, care-free lives that they need to inject stress, anger and frustration into them artificially.

    That's not the only way in which random chance can screw you over, though. Developers these days seem to love putting rewards in large lumps behind random rolls of low probability. Why? Because you're supposed to "feel like you're opening a surprise present with every purchase" as the recent Super Packs boast. Because when you don't let the player see the beginning and end of a process, you extort the player for a constant state of elevated motivation. Even the very first try could yield the big reward. It doesn't, of course, but perhaps the very next try might. Of course, that doesn't, either, but it could have. Maybe the next try after that?

    Most systems designed in this way don't place "fun" anywhere on the priority list. They value player participation and motivation. They are not designed to entertain people. They're designed to pray on people's psychology to have them continue performing a task that they pay money to perform. If these people do have fun in the process, it's entirely coincidental, though I assume also very welcome.
    Well if that's truly how you feel I kinda feel sad for you. You do anything till your eyes bleed and ya it isn't gonna be fun anymore. I have like 6 full incarnates 2 with all T4 the others tier3/4 mix. I don't grind grind grind incarnate trials though. To say people don't actually enjoy endgame but play it rather are just rodents on a treadmill is being disingenuous.

    How I play a few days doing trials, then a few days doing some TFs I like, then I may switch to leveling a new alt or trying a few new powerset combos, the maybe I go badge hunting which could include a number of play styles of it's own, then maybe I try to get some IOs for a new 50, then maybe I'll hit ouraboras up see anything that catches my eye and ditto for AE. And this isn't even everything to do or that I do. When it comes down to it the majority is beating bad guys either in TFs, radio, raids or story arcs etc.

    See mix things up regularly like I do and you have no one to blame for endgame grind but yourself.
  4. I also used a windfall yesterday during a UGT in hopes of an enhancement catalysts and I got one so I was satisfied.
  5. The get content is a lot easier to produce then the do content is my guess so there is way more of it.


  6. Good news everybody.

    There are both badges for running the trial and for being a team leader.

    Just not the same for me without Belushi I couldn't even bring myself to watch the 2000 version.
  8. Let these be a drop from any version of Maelstrom. Kinda lame they only drop during TPN but we fight him in a variety places in the game world.

    BrandX I realize it's a comic book standard, anime standard, whatever, but it still looks really, really stupid to me. I mean where are these women hiding their innards?!
    Same place every other super hides stuff.... Hammer space!
  10. how would 10<10 ? Purple is 10% recharge so are these how did you get confused?
  11. the lowest volume would probably be the French or German one.
  12. How would Moranis replace Murray? They both had a part in the second one so what would Moranis just become the new official ghost buster or would he actually play Murrays character?

    Anyway probably best to let this ghost rest.

    Melee that get both KB protection and KB resistance don't. But ones that do fire armor needs KB IOs, elec armor needs them and dark armor also. I think that's it for melee toons.

    31 should protect you from things like Levitate and Lift.
    41 will protect against the different types of Power Push.
    45-47 to stop Force Bolts (rarely used)
    ya that was fixed long ago even by pvp standards. Do NOT slot KB IOs on a regen it's a waste of time, slots and investments.
  15. WOW there is some really bad advice in this thread. Just go with what ClawsandEffect said and you should be good.

    I've wanted this for so lonnnnnng. I would kill to have a sword powerset that the sword also shoots energy beams or what have you.
  18. This is my stone/fire brute build. Only difference on live is in burn instead of the oblit set I have the brute ATO set slotted.

    I have all the accolades which bumps my health to like 1911 which is pretty dang good for a fire brute plus 32.5%S/L def. This guy is a beast and there is very few things that can drop this guy.

    When I drop to Premium(right now about to go re sub this very minute actually) I have access to the market and merits but no IO license so they would help such a premium player as myself in this scenario. But how many free bones can we really give premiums? I think Paragon Studios is already generous enough with the paragon reward tree and how they award access when they award access.

    That's why I don't have a problem with these new type of enhancements being able to be traded and sold to other players.
    Actually the AT IOs can be bought with both astral and regular merits on live currently.
  22. It never worked said this serial can't be used for payment oh well. Though I could start a new account with it but whatever. Anyone have a kid or something that wants to try the game for a month of vip send me a pm I'll give ya the code.
  23. I suggest since your not VIP go farm yourself the accolade powers, they are considerably powerful/useful.

    For hero http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Hero_Accolade_Powers

    For villain http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Villain_Accolade_Powers

    Have to kill a lot of critters to get some of those badges but they really do make a difference.
