After I had posted, I had considered the possibility that you had deleted a post.

I was thinking that it was odd that he couldn't tell us apart.

If you roll however, the slider does squat. For rolls, the recipe is at your exact level, or the highest level it exists at (if you are higher), or the lowest level it exists at (if you are lower).

The slider only affects direct purchases.

Single Origins of all levels, including the low-level ones known as "Yin-O's", are available on both sides. Mr. Yin's store just makes it easier to get certain ones on blue side.

Anyone who has an open slot in their enhancement tray will get a random Single Origin that matches their origin and level (possibly with a +/- 1 level variation) when their team defeats an Archvillian. I have had level 1 SOs on characters before.

You could still have the same scenario ifthe brute and blaster were on the same team in RWZ, and one set a non-Hero-flagged mission in a hero zone. The brute can fire his mission porter, but it will fail.

What the Hero/Villain flag does is stop the mission from even being selected with the wrong mix on the team. And I suspect that's what happened to the OP. If they had a Hero only mission active (red star on the mission rather than yellow), then a villain can't join the team until the mission is completed or de-selected.

When they revamped Dark Melee, Soul Drain got a big change. I don't know the exact numbers, but City of Data should be able to fill in the details.

Soul Drain now gives two buffs. The first gives a large bonus, about half of Build Up, that is flagged to not stack. The second gives a smaller bonus that does stack, and can hit up to 10 targets.

Even hitting only one target gives a noticeable boost, and it lasts 30 seconds. My just barely perma-hasten Dark/SR scrapper has about 5 seconds of downtime on Soul Drain, when he's just trying to keep it up, rather than firing it when saturated. If you have recharge in the realm of what Werner mentioned, you should easily be able to close that gap, maybe even squeeze in one attack at double-stacked SD.

If I remember what the number crunchers said when the revamp happened, Soul Drain is now twice as strong as the old version off one target, the same bonus at 8, and slightly weaker (but barely noticably) than the old version at 10 targets.

To my knowledge, there are two bugs with the Statesman TF:

1- When an enemy spawns in, they are untargetable for a moment. The Repairmen start their heal, and finish the interruptable part, before they are targetable, meaning that they'll almost always get a heal in before they can be hit. They never spawn on dead towers though. In addition to Knockback, Fear and Avoid effects can result in them heading away from "their" tower, and fixing a dead one.

2- There are two versions of the Flyer. Both are identical in stats, but one drops merits, the other doesn't. Castle posted once that the wrong one spawns in the STF, but he couldn't figure out why it was calling the wrong one. So until then, free merits! Yay!

Those are all the same options that have been available to Masterminds since Weapon Customization was introduced. Since Dual Pistols is currently in its pre-release phase, I'm not surprised that there are no new models yet.

Brawler started a thread in the Suggestions forum ages ago asking what people wanted for Dual Pistol skins. I expect that the fruits of that thread will be seen when Going Rogue goes live.

I like how he just "accidentally" showed that he has at least 20 purples in that build.

(Ultimate Recharge bonus 40% = 4 set of purples 5 slotted at least)

Gratz Leo!
