Quote:I don't expect to. And I rarely slot the ones that do drop. I don't really understand why people think they "need" the best of the best IOs when any character fully slotted in SOs can do most anything in this game.*Snip*
Let me ask a question to "non farmers". With drop rates being soooo low, how would you really expect to get recipes and salvage without people farming?
Quote:Play for months hoping to get 1 piece?
Quote:It would really take years on one toon to get a build doing missions alone. Unless you just use SO's, then what's the point of WW? -

Quote:Oh? Am I misguided in how I define encouragement too?I don't think "if you don't have every rank in your custom group, we'll hit your XP with a spiked bat" counts as "encouraging."
Can't a threat "encourage" people to change their behavior? Also, way to phrase the change in perhaps the most bias way possible. -
Quote:Your suggestion will certainly help compensate for the issue, but ultimately I think it falls on the Dev Team to take a look at what can be done to fix this issue. It is a rather universal problem, with a few exceptions obviously.i think he is talking about the lag in the 3rd mission if you go past the bridge to fight. the simple answer to that is to pull what you need to fight back to the bridge. this cuts down on lag tremendously and it really doesn't take anymore time then trying to fight through the lag. of course make sure you do a disc clean up and defrag at least once a week as this will help also.
I have heard that part of the issue is that most all of the Cimerorans wear capes, and rendering all those capes on all of those enemies really taxes some connections and computers. If this is really the issue, then what could be simpler than updating the faction to include fewer capes? -
Quote:You can use the dirt piles, and slide the trees under them, so the base is hidden - and they also help make floors less flat-looking.Quote:Make sure the area you're adding trees/plants to is one level above the minimum floor height. Then rotate your camera angle to view from directly underneath the floor. Place the plants in this view and they will be sticking up out of the floor with the lower portion hidden under the floor, allowing it to appear that there is no planter involved.

Quote:I am not sure it is a good idea to give a new players such a complicated thing to look at as that. Give the dude a bit of time to figure out WHY he should slot as you did so that he will be able to apply the principles to other characters as well. This will be far more beneficial to him once he has figured out what powers he should be taking and why as well. One step at a time, here, sir.I have a lvl 50 nrg/elec build I have been I have been playin for the last 3 months *note it will change with issue 16 and well I have been collecting some purples now and almost have a complete apoc set run running mishes in PI*

Also, it sounds like you are tooting your own horn more than you are helping anyone. -
Quote:Don't you think that the mere fact that the Devs continue to try to curb farming, despite the fact that they know it will continue, to be a bit telling?It doesn't. Heavy handed attempts to stop farming affect the regular game play. If the devs would just accept that it's going to happen and there's nothing they can do about it, we could all get on with playing the game...
Maybe, just maybe, it does impact more than just that one character? Hmmmm. -
Quote:Just to clarify, V_Marcone who plays the Infernal character will be dropping as well. So, yes, Infernal too will be open. Feel free to kick us from the SG.We've had some people who had to leave, so we now have a few spots open in the Freedom Phalanx/Vindicators: Manticore, Positron, Sister Psyche, and possibly Infernal. We've also decided to have alternate versions of WISDOM, Dawn Patrol, Omega Team, and the Midnighters be created for us. I haven't heard for sure if hero versions of Arachnos are cool, but it's definitely something I personally would like to see happen. If you'd like to learn more about the SG or want to join, shoot me or Fushicho a PM for more info!

During one day at the height of summer, six glittering starships appeared out of nowhere. Suddenly everything went dark. It was the curse of the evil monkey that eats cotton candy!
The people all fled in terror at the sight of the sticky-fingered monkey. It hurled large chunks of cotton candy at the innocent Omegatron Zeta Warbot, "Koo Koo Katchoo", who, caught unprepared, pulled up his iron underpants, and ran screaming into a brick wall.
Then the monkey laughed and said, "where's my punchline?" A man named Alfredo von Wigglestein appeared and said, "I think, therefore... I don't care. Now, you need to go to talk to the guy about registering for the special buns and thigh class. After all penguins have anurisms and I wear polyester thongs to school. Where was my jar of Honey Bees? Who will not drag my fat butt? Now what was the price of eggplants and bees again? I forget things quite quickly since I'm old. Although old is relative."
So then my sister Bruce bought a banana from a passing street vendor. He grabbed a dictionary and started to read aloud the definition for monkey curses. He then looked at the crumpled warbot, pointed and said, "Beware! Chaos is brewing beer!"
Then the warbot stood and drank beer.
Then my sister stripped naked and started to dance a sexy dance.
But the police helped her undress. Afterwards they ran in circles chasing Folonius while yelling the words to that pop hit polka song by the Andrews Sisters. That made Folonius roll out barrels of Rikti Monkeys. This proved problematic for the newly created government of the Rikti, for it had finally caged all of the barrel monkeys.
Lady Grey said, "I like to do weird stuff in the nude with the Rikti." So I took out my camera and filmed her from within her secret monitoring station. "I will never spy on her," said blpup pervertly as he passed out from poison. But just as he died, a passing noob stole his influence. Then burnt his body.
Soon the monkey scattered the ashes and ran home crying to mommy he'd been Riktirolled. The momma monkey ate Chaos Creator's little can of sausage to get even. Suddenly, the sausage regurgitated itself out of the monkey and said this, "Let my people go you jerk!" But then the Freedom Phalanx came and revealed that Chaos was happy. This surpised noone.
Then Chaos died a little inside. Later, he got on the interwebs,but got lag when he tried to look up sheep tied onto a kite. This saddened the chickens who wanted to eat sheep.
Suddenly a man wearing a big target on his jockstrap with three arrows on it, all pointing to his third nipple, busted into song:
"I can't get any more funny during this chaotic event, please help!"
Suddenly, Statesman said, "He who laughs first loses their chance to punch Defender in the genitalia! Don't laugh!"
Not laughing, Manticore took off his ill-conceived costume and started to dance like a meandering lama in -

Isn't that exactly what your post is?
Quote:You think peeps will keep playing when they can't IO their toons?
Quote:I might feel sorry for you if SOs or common IOs were selling for 200m, I mean, they're what you need to be able to play and what the game is balanced around after all.
But since your qualm is for things that are supposed to be ultra-rare and not readily available to everyone, keep it up, your tears are delicious. -

Mountain Dew (which has recently become Diet Dew) and some sort of wheat-type snack (like honey wheat pretzels, or Wheat Thins). Also, I am quite partial to Twizzlers (the strawberry ones).

See, I have shown my contempt for the feature by turning mine off... but I will gladly toss negative reputation at strangers.

Quote:This.They already have their Epic Power Pools, they're just already built into the set. :P
If I had to guess, I would say that VEATS got a Patron Pool due to two factors:
1) Villains have an arc that is needed to get one, and it would be odd to have villains who do not get that arc.
2) It was decided that it was a poor decision to include Kheld PPs into the normal Kheld set as it confuses people who are expecting them. -
Are there Dolly Pools in the works to go along with the Parton ones? If not, then it is obvious that the Devs hate chests.

Quote:This!Even better reduce it - that way the overinflated prices wouldn't be charged as there would be no way for the AH to handle it.
As long as anyone at or above the new cap would be allowed to keep what the currently have... they just couldn't spend it if they ever wanted to have 2 billion again. -
Snippet:
Quote:You do realize that starting a petition of this nature is against forum rules, right?As this would require Dev involvement I am putting this thread forth more in the nature of a petition/poll to see if there is interest in the forum community. If enough of us /sign this or support it through positive discussion, maybe the Devs will agree to ratifying the prize.
Also, /unsigned because many of the people who would "win" would probably not even want in-game recognition for their "accomplishments." I know that if I were to win something (and there is absolutely no chance of that happening), I wouldn't. -
Well, it is pretty much official... I simply don't have the time to play at designated dates and times.
It really sucks, but I am afraid I must drop from the team. I was really excited by this concept, loved teaming with you and definately wanted to continue to play more.
Also, since V_Marcone is under much the same time constraints as I am, I believe he will be dropping as well (he played Ascendent D'Shall).
Again, sorry I have to say this. -
Quote:Just to be literal...OK, I have made an electric armor brute but never got out of the teens with it. So, is Grounded skippable? I'm thinking mainly of tanks. Tanks have higher resist starting points than scrappers and brutes and I was thinking tanks would still be capped to Energy even without Grounded. I'm willing to deal with potential KB and Immob and most likely take CJ to remedy this.
Basically, as a tank, take Grounded or go with CJ?
Yes, you can skip [Grounded]. Pretty much any power is skippable.
