How come the globe used in the invasion keeps getting worse and worse. Its so bright you can't even see out of it. I liked it before when you didn't even see it at all. Ahhhh memorys.....So fixed it please!!!

There is nothing wrong with the new globe - things change - get used to it.

Before...people were stating that they couldn't tell if they had their globe running or not.
We get the new Globe of Invulnerability ;)

I just think there could be more transperacy.
And the small picture at the corner are really nice^^
I know thats off topic but why cant u use globe+triple+lighting rod?
Is it because the triple stacks with the LR?

Triple & Lightning Rod combo was disabled since it was, um, a little overpowered. Especially with some of the cheesier maps, allowing certain players to run outside, Triple + Rod, teleport back to pick up adrenaline and do it all again. I know I personally saw players do this on many occasions, frequently racking up 15,000 or more points doing so.
Personally I would prefer the bizarre hard limitations/interactions to be kept to a minimum, so we may see the Rod re-enabled with the Triple but if so the Triple will not apply to the Rod's damage.

I do think that the Lightning Rod used with Triple was Inbalanced.. for example, if a high level AM was using both on wave 15 you could not kill a single mob because they die in 2 seconds or less which isn't really fair.. but without the Triple Damage effecting the Lightning Rod I doubt many will use it because it just drains so much adrenaline and doesn't kill monsters fast enough to keep itself running.. It dies out in a few seconds depending on how many monsters there are and doesn't really help you much :P imo it is really weak.. maybe it could leech a bit of adren per tick from the monsters it hits to make it last a little bit longer ^^
New Glboe is cool to say the least.. Icons help you remember that you have something running because if your fighting a whole wave for 5mins Globe + Triple you may forget in all the excitement that your artifacts are turned on and when the next wave starts you have no adren and then you die and your like.. wtf :angryfire:
I find that the effect for Lightning Rod and the Immoliation weapon (the effect that appears on you character) tends to bug out sometimes and its not inside my player but like 5 inches to the side and looks really daft, lol :P
at the end of teh day.. updates ftw! gj to those involved keeping the mash updated and the most fun server I play on ^^

Here's was the ExSecret to the instant high score while using lightning rod. Start globing/tripling. The moment you hit the holy crap kill, activate your lightning rod & you just wasted most to all monsters near you. As long as your Holy Kill streak continues, your adren remains & you find yourself gaining about a million points per second.
I found the lightning triple combo to be annoying. One time in Shooting Range (don't ask me why I was playing that), the monsters were piling up on my poor med (but it was a ride of his life!). All ended when ... (no names will be listed)... an AM guy walked by me and ended the adventure :'(
