What makes me cry is people who get all snarky because someone who who don't hand lazy n00bs answers to the most simple questions on a silver platter rather than expecting them to put forth the minimal effort required to learn to play the game themselves.

What makes me cry is people who use to term "noobs" to inflate their own egos and still can't even use proper grammar.

Though I do agree with the rest of your post.

zombies and ninjas in particular really have a rough time until they get their 2nd upgrade skill at 32.

1 per 3 months wouldn't be a bad way to do it. Or have them automatically unlock if one of yours arcs maintains a 3.5+ star average after so many plays.

Yeah, level restrictions on MA would kill the MA completely. A major part of CoX is the fact that people can team up for everything (besides TFs) regardless of level.

MA shouldn't be an exception to that rule.

If we can't make major minions changes, it'd be nice if we could at least make some colour changes to them.

That would defeat the purpose of having to earn them.

No. I still want them to be unlocked with the level 30 mission. Just gives you some more aura options at that point.

How cool would it be to have your controller/corruptor start glowing at the start of combat? Or the electricity aura trigger when you first set off a blast? etc.

All of the current auras should also be added to the combat aura selection.

That way, you could have a character that looks "normal" until they activate their powers.

They're not going to care in an MA mission. You'll be fine.

Heck, one of my buddies has Positron acting like the admin as a joke in an arc and they don't seem to mind it.

That'll be nice. The first mission of my arc won't be bumped up to 35 due to Mynx.

Wait, detonator? How do you access that? Is there a way to directly access pet powers I'm not aware of?

I've got the same issue on a very different machine (except for a Radeon 3200.)

1. Get service pack 2. The problem has cropped up far less (it's very rare for me now) after I installed it.

2. Try running in compatibility mode if 1 doesn't solve it. I need compatibility before SP2 (and the bug still cropped up about after an hour of play) but SP2 seems to have fixed that as well.

MA tickets only unlock them for use on custom enemies in the MA.

If you want to unlock them for your own characters you have to complete the Imperious Task Force.

I might be up to this. Unfortunately all I have to bring is a 41 scrapper.

Personally I do prefer pain domination as it does make keeping my minions alive easier. The buffs/debuff are just a bonus.

What people should do, if they're getting sick of the broadcast spam, is educate those players about the lft interface.

That's really the crux of the problem with the /b spam. These new players don't know how to use the tools already in the game.

LOL the only way the devs will ever get rid of farms in MA, is they implement another round of reward/xp nerfs.

But they don't seem to be interested in reality

Which is counter to their desire of having MA around for levelling.

I don't think the devs really hate MA being used for levelling or farming. They seem mostly fixated on removing exploits.

They don't care if you're running a mission where you fight 4 Lord Recluses or hundreds of boss mobs. They do care if those mobs have been custom tailored to be pathetically weak (which is hard to do with custom critters.)

I meant O2 boost is pretty useless for early levels. It isn't worth it until you get some nice IOs.

Why would they decrease? Most dom sets are getting a buff. I for one know my plant/thorn dom's actually going to get played more than some of my corruptors.

I went bots/storm which sounds odd, but my character's supposed to be a supervillain with a weather control device.

plant is useful for anything, really, even if it doesn't have quite the aoe power of some of the other sets.

My only current dom is a plant/thorn and I love the combination. Seeds, several immobs, strangler, creepers and even a pet.

Thorn provides a nice set of poison focused abilities which complement the immobs quite nicely.

Vista works fine with the game here. Most XP games work fine on it.

I have a small graphics corruption issue but that's because I run the game on a fairly old laptop and the drivers are not the greatest. Game's still playable, though, without compatibility mode.

Storm
-don't bother with snowstorm. I find O2 boost fairly useless as well but you might want it if you fight a lot of mezzing enemies. It can wait until higher levels either way.
-get hurricane and freezing rain as soon as possible. Those are the staples of the set. Hurricane will keep mobs off you (and your minions if you stay close to them) while FR is a nice disruption ability.
-steamy mist is also quite helpful as it provides stealth -accuracy to everyone nearby
-you will want stamina as storm is very end intensive with all of its toggles.

So I started up a radiation blast/radiation aura corruptor a few weeks back and reached level 10.

Currently I'm finding my damage output leaves much to be desired (especially compared to my ice/cold corruptor.) Is there some trick I'm missing? I've got the first 4 rad blast powers, radiation aura and AM.) Now, I'm mostly slotted with training enhancements but those should be fine at my level.

Should I be building up accuracy more than damage? Is there some real trick to getting the most out of rad blast or is it one of those top heavy sets?

I've actually found that my ninja mms first 2 archery skills (the ranged ones) are still quite useful even at 29.

Mind you, my secondary is pain, so I'm mostly healing (and getting the decent share pain damage buff every so often that makes arrows even more useful.)

I only have the first attack on my bots mm as I'm usually using storm powers (and the odd repair.)

I always lose at least one genin (that's why all 3 are named Meatshield) per battle on my ninja/pain mm. I concentrate on keeping the oni/jounin alive since they are far more useful.

I have provoke on my bots/storm mm and took provoke. Taunting enemies into commiting suicide in your hurricane is quite hilarious.
