I guess it's best to only open shared quest rewards on a 60, so you don't get stuff you eventually have to ditch/upgrade?

Also, is there supposed to be a time limit to the boxes being better?

Depends on if you're planning on prestiging characters later on, if you aren't wait for 60.

The birthday cake slices seem to be worth an absolute assload of crafter experience. How big is the loot explosion from the actual assembled cake? It seems like it might probably be more worthwhile to just vendor them for easy vendor capping.

They seem to be coming fast, too - 30 minutes and I've had about 90 drop.

Dear Diary,

I went for a swim at the Yancy Street rec pool today when the Yancy Street Gang struck again. They depants me in the shower and I got so mad I ran out after them in front of a bunch of old ladies. I have to lay low for a few days. Reed knows something happened.

Boy if I get my hands on those Yancy Street Gang kids its clobberin time.

How do they choose patch times anyway? I got home, sat down to play a bit and boom, patch time. My internet sucks too, so it still isn't finished.

Doesn't WoW patch exclusively on Tuesday or something specifically to minimize downtime?

Patching any time other than Friday night would go a long way in reducing last minute gently caress-ups. Pretty disappointed the xdef tokens are still busted. I really like the shared quests feature, it's a shame that one whole section is broken. And it seems like such a simple thing to fix.

To be fair, they used to patch friday afternoons every week and we all complained every week, then they got in a pretty good run of patching Thursday mornings and that's been the trend for a while now. It seems clear this patch had problems which is why it got pushed by to Friday evening. The fact that this is now the exception to the rule I see as a good thing. That being said, let's not fall back into old habits Gaz.

2) Loki
3) Human Torch, #1 Fire Man
4) Iron Man
5) Ms Marvel
6) Scarlet Witch
7) Emma Frost

Evidently nickhimself has contributed to this, as his Dr. Strange guide is referenced by name. Also lol at him only referring to Dr. Strange as Sorcerer Supreme. I had to google it to figure out what he was going on about. Since Strange is obviously his favorite hero, that means nickhimself's guide is like his weirdo bible. Or something.

I lurk the official forums and post all over them and I admit that was my first time reading that. I just can't connect with the thinking and even the analysis on some of that poo poo. I am intrigued though. Mainly on the Loki thing.

Agreement: Yes, Strange, HT, Ironing Man are top tier. Definitely. Yes, Thor is bottom tier and I am sorry Eckert and other Cyclops players (there are plenty), Cyclops is the worst in the game. I rank (I know, it means nothing really) him, Deadpool, Rocket Raccoon, Punisher and Jean Grey as the 5 characters most desperate in need of their 52 reviews. They need them BADLY.

[Disagree]: Ghost Rider top 10?!?! He is one of the bottom 5 in game. He needs another rework already. Gambit at top tier as well at 11? That's insane. Bottom middle at best. He is completely gear dependent and worthless unless specced to kill. Luke at bottom? Beyond retarded--Moon Knight and Luke are top 2 melee in game and endgame ready without even needing top gear.

I have seen a lot of Loki talk recently and I got him when he first came out, took him to 60, and thought he was OK. I know jubelio and Ansob play him quite a bit as well as others, but is this guy as excellent as this says and I (we?) are just missing something? I never see the goons or much of anybody playing this guy.

I think byzantiumfrost (sp?) is the only guy who cosmic prestiged him on Groot.

Edit: congrats nick, you are a superstar.

Thor is all right. My biggest problem with him is that Almighty Mjolnir (his hammer throw 2-second chargeup move) does significantly more damage than all of his other skills, so it feels like I'm wasting my time if I'm not constantly tossing around that hammer. Anti-Force is an ability on a 10 second cooldown which seems like it should be my strongest ability damage-wise, but it does almost the same damage as a fully charged Almighty Mjolnir, which will almost certainly hit every enemy twice which means it does twice the damage.

edit: Actually, Anti-Force does LESS than a fully charged Almighty Mjolnir.
