Xemulas

From what i've seen of EA, gearing towards having your Tier 9 up as often as possible seems to be the only real way to make it perform noticeably well. With a lack of a self heal (within the set itself), it's your only real panic button when fecal matter hits the fan. It's a pretty mediocre set, with a very good God power (a defence based partner to /elec, in that light).

It's certainly possible to get by without it, but if you are going to dedicate time to it, then some recharge to get it up as often as possible = advisable. Of course, you don't have to perma it to be any good...that's just ridiculous

HAving said that, you're DM. Siphon life, and all that -tohit, gives you a massive edge over /EA combined with any other set. Taking that into account, you're not really required to do anything more than that build (imo)...the synergy is that good

...

wow

Complaining about an extra 20/25 seconds of your life being wasted at log-out times. That is a new low

/unsigned. Utterly pointless. Perfectly fine as it is

also, this may free you from those agonising 30 seconds

Only in our game can you get away with that

congrats on having one of your best days ingame

Maybe an Indiana Jones MMO?

Congrats chap, glad you enjoyed the ride!

[ QUOTE ]
One thing though... apart from the Sky Skiffs, Witches and such, there aren't really very many 'flying' enemies. There's enemies that hover off the ground, but fly?


[/ QUOTE ]

Thus i'm sure it'd be just as 'un-picked' as Group Fly, but with less use (Group Fly = ace, for LGTF Hami if you're feeling lazy, and the real deal). It might be nice in PvP/concept, but 'meh' besides...nowhere near as good as accrobatics, if you're trying to steer away from uselessness.

Can't see it being popular, but not a terrible idea

Congratulations on your continued existence, have some cake!

Are those 30 days whole days or fractions? I mean, are they er... 24h = 1340 minutes? I think I've rarely been 1 day without playing my main badger... glups...

[/ QUOTE ]

You don't have to leave them offline for the entire chunk. Normal log off time in the right place over a period of time = badge

Bum Capes?

They've been rumoured to be (re?)included since i12 launch. /signed though. My fort needs some flaps

/signed

[ QUOTE ]
you mean softcapping defense?

[/ QUOTE ]

Due to most defence set bonuses being positional, that's fantastically hard to do on an EA toon. As (unless i'm mistaken), it's typed defence.

[ QUOTE ]
Hmmm, interesting.
I aprove of this suggestion.
Not that I would use it myself...
But being able to do so would be great

[/ QUOTE ]

QFT

Take care of yourself Raz, all the best chap!

[ QUOTE ]
Still, it *is* just a suggestion.

[/ QUOTE ]

And a perfectly decent one at that.

If this were tied to emotes as ShadowGhost has suggested, and it used the weapon drawn from the costume slot, then /signed. Would be a nice touch.

Also washing my hands of this thread, for the same reason as Ravenswing

Well that was needless PRAF.

On Topic, i'm amazed this is still going. Give it a rest Sorudo. That ol 'I pay moneys, so i can demand things lol' simply wont cut the mustard here. These sets are thematically, aesthetically and mechanically fine as they are. Please learn to deal with it and limit your suggestions to things which don't radically change things for no reason (as I said before, the branching suggestion for those who prefer to not pick the elemental weapons was a good suggestion to this "problem"..yours, really isn't)

[ QUOTE ]
Another habit I picked up is to put the shields on my pet first. That way when his start to blink I know its time for a round of buffing.
It's easier to spot buffs on the pet because he generally has less of them and is not running toggle powers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Having put a silly amount of hours into my FF/ Fender, i'd personally say it's easy to spot the icons flashing, providing you're checking the team window (pet window, if you're using your pet as a 'buff marker') often enough.

I buff 1-8, so once 1 starts to flicker, I rebuff the team

I'm quite a chronic badger, so most hunts that have a badge tied to them, i'd get anyway.

I did CoH Family bosses and Lost Bosses in Nerva port. An afternoon, not 'wasted', as such...but certainly not a pleasant one :P

Number 204. Kill huge amounts of Toxic Tarantulas. Fly around for a few hours in Grandville and try not to outlevel contact before you get it. I am sure this is a nice contact. Never managed to do him though.

Viridian. Well for this one you need to kill left and right. Crey, rikti, freak tanks, lost bosses and lets not forget 200 Crey protectors. Hope you like farming missions for this one.

[/ QUOTE ]

The only one i've yet to do is the Slot Machine

Number 204, considering the huge amount of work it takes to get the Toxi Ts, especially before lvl 45, is such an anticlimax. Somewhat well written, but just short and boring.

Viridian's "The Conference of Evil" OTOH is my personal favourite arc in the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well Slot machine is fun but worth hunting for a hours and hours? In fact working much longer to obtain the contact then you will spend doing the contact? I have done it once and sadly that will be it. Just as i missed 204. I'ts not worth doing it like it is now.

[/ QUOTE ]

Tbh, I do that hunt on every toon for HPT. I'm quite content to go and do the arc via ouro if the mood takes me. Some of the secret contacts however have such a massive gulf in quality. Viridian/Doc Buzzsaw/Ghosty Night widow woman = fantastic...

Henri Dufail and Number 204 = terrible. Just plain awful.

So I guess you can view the hunts as a distinguishing feature for those who care about quality of content enough to take time away from xpees to hunt, or as a mindless chore stopping the player from reaching what is rightfully theirs (or something)

I for one don't have a problem with it, but I'm in no way belittling anyone who dislikes it, as I can understand the frustration

(Carni Hammer = Illusionist badge...on villains (when nobody runs it for the accolade) = harsh...but what a sense of a achievement that must be )

[ QUOTE ]
Im not looking for a flame war, Im just stating my one sided, uninformed opinion.

The game would benefit much more from a merge, especially on villains.


[/ QUOTE ]

Fixed.

And along the same lines as FFM. These happen all too often. It'll get the same responses and end in the same way. GR locking it. Save yourself the upset

No, NO, NO!, NO!!

I'd log off.

The Rikti invasions, after the badges, and except for getting merits in a really lazy fashion, are boring. Nobody bothers with them, they make your mobs vanish for hunts/TFs/Badges. (Numina, Sharkhead Sf, any treespecs). Thus potentially displacing pre-planned things for people, by forcing an all day long very very boring waste of time.

[/ QUOTE ]
It won't force you into it and maybe mobs can still be round the streets

[/ QUOTE ]

So an all day rikti invasion of all zones won't force me into it? I fail to follow your logic

Mobs wont be around if the existing code is used.

Just no. Let's leave the Rikti invasions to die and become a novelty, and bring some fresh ideas in.

[/ QUOTE ]
it doesn't have to be all day

[/ QUOTE ]

That's your justification for suggesting the possiblity of an all day invasion? /em slowclap. I realseid that, I emboldened the bit I disagreed with.

As to allowing other mobs to exist during invasions, and the ships flying off if there aren't enough people...how long until that? How many people? When after the badge, i've gone after the bombs/rikti with just 3 others...is that too little to defend the zone from invaders?

It would have to be very well done...and I personally see no real reason to do so. The horse has been flogged. Leave it

[ QUOTE ]
That's a good guide with a fair summary of all the powers

^ This

Well written, and a pleasant read. Kudos to you chap

Are you sure you have the correct client? (EG, an EU account but have accidetnally downloaded the US updater, etc?)

and are you using your Game details for certain? They can differ from your PlayNC master account details

A lot of people would object to this.

The thread a while ago about power branching, to deal with this very issue, was a much better solution than presuming people want them replaced

[ QUOTE ]
a lot of work?...o please.
as far as i know, it's nothing more then a switch linking to "hold weapon=false/true"(if the codes are not so inscripted that changing something takes a genius to read it)

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sure what the OP meant was the weapon drawn AND in poses. Not just drawing a weapon. Activating a weapon power without a target does that just fine.

I know nothing about coding. I, unlike yourself, am not going to pretend to. Though basic logic would refute your claim that it's just a 1 or 0 switch, if it's having to process the following:

Type of weapon
Pose

...already a bit more complicated than a yes/no command.
