    Got it! Proposed War Witch TF; shut down all rogue Longbow instilations and activities in the Etoile Islands, culminating in the sacking of the Nerva instillation and arrest of the Vindicators!
    I would support this. I dislike the terrorist organization they are portrayed as.

    I go one further and get to 27 and slot basic IOs. Though I do sometimes cave and buy SOs at 22.

    Congratulations, you're the cause of the complaint.

    This ain't rocket science.
    Most of my characters go both ways... Uhm... They're in the gray. Yeah, better.
  4. * Kill PvP. It stays as it is, but officially no future development, design, or work will be done for it.
    * Lower the defense hard-cap, say to around 30%.
    * Separate Ouro into Hero, Vigilante, Rogue, and Villain versions. Just to screw with people.
    * Scrap AE and co-op missions/zones.
  5. I came in between Launch and Issue 1. My 1st character, an Emp/Rad defender (always guaranteed a team), partook of the Rularuu invasion around level... 35-ish.

    Since launch I've only switched jobs once, but been moved within the 2nd job twice. I'm on my 3rd gaming rig, and rebuilding again this fall/winter. I've played 7 other MMOs but always kept City paid up.

    • Katie H
    • Statesman
    • Recluse
    • Binder Of Beasts
    • An ouroboros TF once in a while. Quick yes but come on, give them some incentive!
    No comparable red side one.
    Sure.
    No red side version.
    Ditto.
    Ditto.
    STF/LRSF... sure.
    Opposite Synapse, so sure, but not comparable in terms of time or reward.
    Ouro prevents teaming in this case as a vigilante can't join a villain/rogue Ouro TF.

    My regular vent server has joked about how the Devs should make Dr Q the blue side TF and for reds... ALL of the SFs. Just to keep it fair.

    Win.
  8. Ran this over the weekend and we saved them as an afterthought. Last thing before leaving: 'Oh yeah... those guys in the collector pods."
  9. ^ One of the biggest reasons I go Vigilante/Rogue with most of my toons.
  10. SS on most of those toons. Hasten on some others. Mez protection on others. Secondary Mutation on most.
    In just about all cases I turn off my powers that are on auto for raids.

    How badly...

    A devoured PEAT would be awesome. >.>

Fortunately, we pwn them in a single issue, and tell them to come back later, because officially we were already in a war and don't have time for their silliness.

    Issue 17-23: The Praetorian War: Earth is invaded by people in (mostly) red and white uniforms, who come here from another timeline to kill all our supers and convert us to their way of life because they think our supers are a threat to them. We find out who fed them this lie, defeat that person, war ends. Oh, and there are two other fronts in the war: at one point, as a distraction, earth gets briefly invaded by Soldiers of Rularuu, who are here to kill us all, because we imprisoned their god; the Banished Pantheon complain that they thought of that first and we get invaded by one of their gods and his armies, who are here to kill us all, because ... oh, never mind.
    I was originally writing a reply that edited in the correct content but realized this left around 15% of the original text in place.

    Grossly inaccurate is the easiest summary for the OPs descriptions.

    I'm enjoying my Dark/EM Blaster most at the moment, I actually get hit so I need to manage my health/end and smash face.
    I've got a S/L softcap build you might be interested in

    Re: the OP question: I have a 50 incarnate Crab... and Bane. I have 44 characters just on Virtue and half-ish aren't 50 yet. That's my reason for not playing my Crab more.

    Dev Digest

    Added to my reader sub. Nice work.
  15. It depends on powersets and if I need to line up area attacks.
  16. Is it wrong that once a thread has introduced math I immediately look for Arcanaville's posts...? <.<

    There are badges you can only get in flashback: the exploration badges in the pre-Incarnate Dark Astoria for example. I don't see why Hero's Hero can't continue to award Statesman's Pal and the updated Hero's Epic can't award Positron's Pal separately (as was suggested earlier in the thread). And if that is the case, the devs could retroactively grandfather all players to keep Statesman's Pal and require a rerun of Hero's Epic to get Positron's Pal, so that you actually have to save Positron to get it.
    Best proposed solution.
  18. I tried it on a tank and completely OP. Except for that 5% that is.

    True, but staff is new and therefor to be mocked... apparently.

    My staff toon does fine, even on nothing but ATO's and pre-order-bonus-O's.
  20. Could I get a PM with the instructions to change the screen please? I want my Des back.

    Arcanaville is a freakin' math-machine which would indicate the logical side of the brain is dominant. Traditionally that is more the case in females than males.

    However, Forums Arcanaville is gender-neutral (unless you know he/she/it/they) and just really, really smart.

    I love a memory of watching a single Thugs/TA Mastermind hold off an entire 10 man SG in their own base while the rest of us res'd and ran back through the raid-porter. They're both fine IMHO.

    I loathe Electric Blast. Simply cannot stand it. Too little pew pew for too much soft control. Still that's my opinion and I know a guy that loves his Elec/Elec blaster more than anything.
  24. Absorb is a thing from some stuff. We'll find out exact final information when they're ready. *insert Golden Girl winky thing*

    And with that a Tank softcaps at level 12 with DO's. With only level 50 base IO's a tank gets to 59.6% defense to all positions.
