This is something that I am not interested in, but I know there are others out there who ARE. Nice to see they are working on other things for us. The video while short does show off some pretty nice animations.

It'll be interesting to see what they have planned next.

Some mission maps have a cap as well.

I have no idea what maps have a lower cap, but apparently the one you are running is one of them.

(And here's the link to the wiki Tickets page.)

They could* just merge the server lists, so to speak.

Keep the EU servers and the characters on them, just add them to the US list. Then no one has to worry about losing character names and everybody gets more room to expand.

As for the topic, I completely forgot about the transfers this time. I moved all the characters I wanted to move the last time, so that MAY have had something to do with it. That and I have plenty of space still on the servers I play on thanks to the last round of transfers.

There are a couple of characters that could use a name change, but no biggie.

---------------------------------------------
*I should say that "could" doesn't mean that they actually can do it, will do it or that it would even be easy to do. Just painting in broad strokes here.

I just bought GR through Best Buy. I figured for $30 it was a heck of a lot better deal (for the physical package) than anything else I've seen so far.

I've waited this long for GR, I can wait another week for it to ship to me. Patience is a virtue, especially when you're cheap like I am.

If I remember things right, you get a chance at getting a ticket drop off of every critter of at least minion level and above. LT's give more than minions and bosses give more than LT's. That doesn't mean you get tickets off of them all, just a chance. Like recipes, salvage or any other type of drop, it's completely random.

Okay, that said, the amount of tickets you receive at the end of a mission depends on how many tickets you got from drops during that mission.

For the first mission in an AE arc, you get the same number of tickets as a mission end bonus as you collected. If you got say, 123 tickets to drop during the mission, you'll get an additional 123 for completing the mission, giving you 246 total. Completing the second mission is similar, but there is a bonus amount added to the end of mish ticket reward, I think it's an extra 5%.

I believe that bonus percentage increases with the 3rd mission and again with the 4th and 5th, but don't quote me on that.

So, if you got 55 tickets at the end of your mission, that means one of two things, you only got 55 tickets to drop during the mish, OR you had 1445 drop during the mish and got a bonus 55 to take you to the ticket cap of 1500 per AE mission. You can't earn more than 1500 tickets in AE missions, including the end of mish ticket bonus. I forget when they added the ticket cap, but it's been there for quite a while.

I'll be moving ALL of my villains heroside. Some may become Vigilantes, but I will not venture over the the Rogue Isles again.

I love the villain AT's but I grew tired of the villain zones and missions quickly. I kept trying to get into the whole 'vibe' of villains, I just can't play there any longer, and population has nothing to do with it. Nor does the current market situation play into it, especially since with i18/GR the markets will be merged.

My problem is simply the 'story' of the Isles themselves. Staring at the same zone for 10 levels at a time was boring as sin and the missions were not my cup of tea. :shrug:

I know I'm likely in the minority but we all enjoy different things.

There seem to be plenty of people who will say goodbye to heroside to take up residence in the Isles, so I think the population may finally even out.

Yeah, I'm guessing that the market server is having some problems. It's done this before, it'll do it again. I'm not worried about losing things I had bids on/selling since they keep a back-up of the servers.

It does make it difficult getting salvage needed to craft the recipes I have though.

Edit:

And now it looks like Globals are down as well, this keeps getting better.

I believe what the OP means is, if the target the Decoy Phantasm was spawned for has less than 25% health, then make it so it won't spawn it on them.

I've seen that happen a lot, the Decoy gets cast on something with low HP's and then once the Decoy's target is (usually quickly) defeated, the decoy disappears. It then has to recharge the power and the player is left with one less way to deflect aggro.

It's annoying but, meh, I don't have THAT much of a problem with it. I also wouldn't complain if it were "fixed" so...

If I remember correctly, global bonuses do not carry over to summoned type powers like pets, Rain of Fire, Freezing Rain, Tornado, Lightning Storm, Sleet and (more or less) the entire Traps set. So your global accuracy bonus is not helping Trip Mine at all.

I could be wrong and if so I'm sure someone will come in and put me in my place. But this is essentially what I've been told on how these types of powers work since IO's were introduced. If it's changed or if I've been misinformed, then I have a lot of relearning to do.

I... I don't know where to start.

I mean that too, and not to be mean or rude, I simply don't know where to start.

You ask for help (which is a good thing) but it's nearly impossible to tell how you're slotted. Saying you have X amount of Y set slotted doesn't give enough information on just exactly WHAT ones you have slotted. I can't tell how much Acc, Dam, End Reduct or Rech you actually have since specific enhancements (and their levels) aren't listed.

However, I will point out some things I see and help out where I can. I am nowhere near the best source for build help, but there are basics that are easy enough (even for me) to grasp.

You don't have Acrobatics, but I see you have the full Steadfast Protection set which gives you at least 4 points of KB protection. If you are using Hover as a workaround for getting KB'd either slot a fly speed in Hover so you'll move around somewhat faster, an End Reduct so it uses less end or if you're lucky/rich enough put in the Blessing of the Zypher or Karma KB protect IO. Since Hover is currently empty, any of those will be a plus.

Fly speed caps these days with 1 or even possibly 2 SO fly speed enhancements. Add a fly speed enhancement to Swift and I think with the 1 in Fly you'll be capped, or at least really close, saving 2 slots from Fly.

You have 4 slots in Stamina. Unless one of them happens to be the Performance Shifter +End Proc, you've wasted a slot there as well. Slotting anything past 3 SO's (or the equivalent) is a waste.

Your shields seem under slotted as well, but it's difficult to say for sure. No, I take that back, I can say with absolute certainty that Plasma Shield at least is under slotted since the KB protection IO gives no damage resist bonus.

Those are just the things I can see right off. I can't say what build would be good for you since everyone likes something different. Perhaps someone else will come who has a little more knowledge than I and can give a build example.

I hope that I've helped and I truly hope I didn't come off as rude or condescending, as that was not my intent.

It's a known issue and the Devs commented on it way back when the VEAT's were introduced. If I remember right, there is really nothing they can do about it.

If you take any of the Crab powers, but decided to make a secondary build as a Bane (meaning that the secondary build has NO Crab powers), the Crab backpack will still show up on your character even with your Bane build active.

Going to the tailor and removing the Crab-pack off your Bane costume won't make any difference.

I look forward to teaming with all the new Dual Pistol users.

I wish I could join in on the fun, but my DP users will have to wait for Going Rogue to be live before I could enjoy playing them, so I'll be waiting until July.
