If you want to compare shard acquisition rates, maybe you should do less (try zero) TFs and do more solo missions. Then, you might find that your shard drop rates aren't as great as you think they are.

For the record, I do more Task Forces than I do Trials. But, I don't do Task Forces very often.

I believe it was back in 2005 or so with the "Super Secret Out Of Combat Skill System". You know, that thing that took years to be turned into the Invention system?

Wow. I actually heard that in Tommy Lee Jones' voice.

Do that again, Techbot_Alpha!

Yes. It is called, "When Brute forces doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough." *resists the urge to pull a GG and put a smiley here*

Note: I do not always subscribe to the aforementioned strategy. Occasionally, though, it can be enjoyable to just unleash all sorts of overkill on the offending victim. In the immortal words of Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith: Overkill is underrated.

And you get to delete and restart them all again in a couple of days, right?

I have always disliked the D&D alignment doohickey. My characters are much more complicated than that will allow. Or else, they're all chaotic neutral.

Agreed. A straight face is hard to keep.

If I'm not mistaken, CoV became "free" when the CoH franchise went from Cryptic to Paragon Studios. With the change of management, it is understandable that they would combine the two halves into one whole. It is a different situation with Going Rogue (or Going Rouge for the dyslexically inclined.) But there are some similarities. Instead of the game changing management, the management is changing the game. With the change (there is the similarity) they are adding a new perk for us players.

So, I guess you could say that it's the same difference. Or maybe, the different same...

Anyway, I can see where Claws and Effect is coming from.

Maybe there's a pause for breath in there? I mean, that is a lot of As.

The Praetorian WW isn't dead. Besides, how many times have Superheroes died (The Barry Allen Flash died so hard there was nothing left of him) yet, still return?

Happy Birthing Day to the birthday girl.

Even more than that, there needs to be a "Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... " emote.

You can turn that around though. The Djinn (I'd probably call him Djimm ) fights crime on his own time when he's not granting wishes to his master.

I'm with the superhero/villain crowd on this one though. Unless the character concept calls for it (like Olivia Onyx: Earth/Earth Dominator with crystal animations colored black) I tend to have Superhero names.

Thank you Forbin. You beat me to it.


Stupid work

You might even reach that elusive level 50 too.

So, what you're saying is that it's all an Azuria plot?

Is that another way of saying fur or scale?

Unknown. Spider-Man and Spider-Woman use a hyphen. As do many others.

Using Mid's, I managed to get Adrenalin Boost's recharge down to just under 87 seconds. That was using Hasten, set bonuses, and a healing sets recharge reduction enhancements. That doesn't take into account the +100% recharge that AB would add to the mix. Nor did I use any purple sets. Granted, Hasten would have just over a 9 second down time (also without the +100% recharge from AB).

So, with AB being perma on a quick Emp/Sonic Defender, I would have something along the lines of 1588% regeneration, 1156% recovery, just over 30% def (all positions(Hover, Maneuvers, Defender Fortitude), damage bonus of 134% (Assault, Set bonuses, Defender Fortitude, Amplify), a to-hit bonus of 88.6% ( Tactics, Defender Fortitude, Amplify), a +248.75% recharge boost, and +12 status protection (90 seconds duration).* All that with ranged attacks that have -Res.

You don't think that is over powered just a wee little bit?

* Using Mid's calculations and some in-game testing.

He's older than me too. By about a month and a half.

Yes, Please!

If that's the case, I've been in the game design business since I was about 10. I've been designing cars (for Car Wars) since I was about 13. Unfortunately, none of that will work on a resume.

Oh, and Hippy Bird Day, Posi.
I hope you have a tweet day.

I won't argue that Inherent Fitness has made the game easier to play. Whether that is good or not is up for debate.
I have played Blasters on teams of 8, where most of the team members used Stamina. My blaster didn't have Stamina, but still kept up with the rest of the team and still contributed to the steamrolling that the team did.
Stamina wasn't necessary for that.

Now, Stamina has made my Dark/Dark scrapper a lot easier to play.
but, I was managing quite well before too.
However, I usually solo'd with her and wasn't concerned with the time it took to complete a mission.
Which, seems to be the main complaint from most of those who clamored for Inherent Stamina.

You're a young whipper-snapper yet.
It's a great movie though.

They just run programs?

We must not be playing the same game.
I never had to take Swift/Hurdle, Health OR Stamina in the game I'm playing. (until recently, that is)
In fact, I rarely took any of them.

Are you looking under Chest Details?
