Quote:There's been at least one significant Lore DPS balance pass since this compilation - i22 included a bug fix that was preventing 8 or so Lore trees from proc'ing Interface or benefiting from any Alpha slots. I also made a balance pass on them around the time of i20.5's release in an attempt to bring all of the sets within a reasonable margin of performance.
It's probably worth re-evaluating Lore pet DPS rankings if what you're interested in is maximum DPS performance.
What game has designers helping you get the best mini-maxi numbers?
Thanks, Hawk! -
The problem with Scrapperlock is that non-Scrappers act like Scrappers have the free will to avoid it or something, "Read your chat!! We were going to stop here and buff up, you moron!!!" Yeah, who's the moron there?
So, I propose this as the unique Scrapper inherent: Scrapperlock.
With Scrapperlock, when 80% of a spawn is defeated, the Scrapper's chat window is removed from the GUI and the Scrapper is teleported to the next nearest full spawn generating a 30 foot AoE taunt. Let the Emp Defender finish off those bosses, that's what they're there for.
Oh, and a version of Scapperlock should be ported to Brutes, Tankers, Stalkers, Blasters, and all Epic ATs.

Just went into Echo of DA to test this, I got 3 Converters:
- After 112 defeats off of a Lt.
- After 369 more defeats off of a minion.
- After 489 more defeats off of a Lt.
It is most likely a bug. -

Quote:Well, then. That just means CoH is effectively simulating super powered comic books.Really, the lore for the Incarnate system is so horribad I haven't even bothered to keep up on the Prometheus updates. It reads like something my friends and I would have been ashamed of writing for our D&D campaigns in 1979.
Well done, Paragon Studios! -
-
Not my idea but ThatGuyThere's idea.
That would really make some trashable enhancements much more desirable. -
Other candidates:
Mendor Silos
Prometheus
Although, with the last Spring Fling, we got a wink that DJ Zero is an avatar of the power of Cupid. So... ordinary Incarnate or Full-Out-Well-Eating-Incarnate? -
Quote:No, it's fact. Let me show you...No it isn't a fact. It's your opinion and that doesn't make it a fact.
Quote:VIPs used to get powersets for free and now have to pay for them. That's not a gain.
Quote:VIPs used to be access all content and now have to pay for it. That's not a gain.
CoX had a major attraction and that was the 'all-inclusive' price. Now that's gone out the window...
And what content is now gated away from VIPs? That costs more to obtain? Are you counting costumes and certain powers? We used to have to pay for booster packs, remember?
It is a FACT that not all content was pay-one-price previously.
It is a FACT that VIPs are getting more now than they did previously:
- Full access to the game: VIPs don't have to pay for Preatoria, but previously, subs did
- One free stackable server transfer per month for VIPs, but previously used to cost $10
- 3 free Issues a year which still includes new power sets -- the same
- VIPs get a stipend to buy even more stuff than what was in booster packs; previously, you shelled out at least $30 for what came out in a year in boosters.
-
Quote:I can agree with you that the handling of pricing and decisions about what goes to Market can be improved.Zombie, you are usually looked to as the old grandmother (no offense) of this community on issues like these, I respect that, and I also agree with you when you say we should pay for the extra (as I am not crying that we should get everything free as VIP's). There should be a uniformity with pricing, VIP's should have different rates on top of what you quote to be a discount as the 400 is more of a Thank you for staying VIP. That would be like going to a club and reserving a VIP table but you dont have to pay for the 250 dollar bottle of booze as a minimal to get that booth, could be a bad example, but I think you know where I am coming from with using it.
I fail to see how VIP's actually gain from this. I would have rather seen them provide us with an option as to what we want our free set to be versus them picking it for us on top of the price uniformity. It's sad as I am sure you admitted the same thing that a vanity pet like the little green fellah that did not drink green beer and puke rainbows cost as much as a new powerset for a very minor inf buff, then we get other pets that cost 600, 400 and w/e else and they are much more of a liability with detoggling toons of their mez defenses etc, but their abilities are a bit more useful.
However, I was arguing against the point that VIPs should get all powersets free otherwise our VIP status means nothing. VIP status means picking out for free a good chunk of extra content at no extra cost as well as still enjoying the 3 no-extra-cost Issues.
Quote:Out of curiosity, where do you see the dividing line for this proposed "subscription discount" ?
It's already part of 'the plan.' -
He doesn't have an arc. He has four one-off missions (five including Personal Story). Each one is available in Ouroboros.
-
Quote:No.No. I subscribe to the game. I want to play the game for that subscription and not be told "Well you can't have this bit unless you pay again".
The Points you receive are so you can get the extras at no extra cost. With the Points they give you, you can get 6 new power sets a year at no additional cost. Plus whatever extra free stuff is in the 3 no-additional-cost Issues you get.
You're getting more now than you did before.
But they're producing more stuff on top that than they've ever done before. If you want it all, you have to pay extra... like you did for Booster Packs.
VIPs did *NOT* lose anything in the shift to FREEDOM, instead, they *gained.*
That point is a fact. -
Quote:Well, 7 should drop next week. Wait til then and play them back to back.Despite having re-upped my sub for a couple of weeks, I have not yet played Chapter Six. Given yet another chapter of despair, loss, and failure for the Heroes, I find myself mustering very little desire to play through it.
I'm really struggling to see how this story is going to have any kind of uplifting ending for Blue.
Given that I already know how it turns out, and I don't care particularly about the alignment merit reward, is there any reason to bother with it? Is there something in the mission that makes it worth running aside from the story? -
Quote:It may not be the case, but the fact you cant move a boosted enhancer by any means certainly Looks like a Money Grabbing Scheme.
Note you could always buy MOAR Enhanment Trays. Does not help a delete situation. Also you can unslot via respec or unslotters and put on second build to store them hoping for a change. Again no help to OP since he is deleting, but just a thought.
Also the trick that the only way to strip boosters is via a trade is not well documented. That sucks, and has doubtless resulted in others deleting good stuff.
I give the Team a Simple Fail on this.
Jak
The effects of a Boost are character bound, like many other effects in the game whether earned in-game or bought.
Is the inability to pass off a Shivan Temp Power to another player a *Money Grabbing Scheme*? -
Quote:Unless you have a Flashback Crystal in your base with a (new) Dark Astoria beacon and telepad.Indeed, Ouroboros is the ONLY way to redo the arcs.
Max and the Dream Doctor get to be extra annoying, since neither of them exist on the map and are only contacted by phone. This means that after you select their arcs, if you click the big crystal, it tells you that the crystal doesn't know where to send you.
For these two, you have to accept the mission, and then leave Ouro via the portal to Peregrine or Grandville, and then walk to Dark Astoria. A minor inconvenience, but still potentially annoying.
Also, all the DA arcs in flashback require you to have done them first regularly. -

So, both Epharm Sha (blue side) and Maharaj (red) have 8 repeatable missions. The mission select window pairs them into 4 recurring paired selections, e.g., "Good Intentions" is always paired with "Ritual Knives". If you don't care for the pair you're currently given, then as soon as you chose one from the pair, you can then immediately abandon it for re-rolling for a different pair.
All maps are either small or very small cave. Or they are small or very small office maps with up to 3 floors. Anyone with Reveal and or a memory can quickly find and Stealth to the mission objectives. No mission is a kill-all. At +3 Incarnate level, Stealth really isn't necessary because your foes will be doing negligible damage.
All spawns at the minimal level are simply a Lieutenant with one or two Minions. Many objectives have an NPC dialog 'tell' which helps one find them right away.
So, I guess what I'm saying is that these all can be very, very short 'stealthable' missions. The reason to do that is to get the the reward table at the end faster.
The reward table includes
- 10 Incarnate Threads on a 20 hour cool down. During the cool down, you can still get 1 Thread;
- 2 Reward Merits on a 20 hour cool down. During the coold down, you can still get 1 Merit
- Super Inspiration
The following are the paired missions and their objectives and my best time in seconds:
Ephram Sha:
- Good Intentions: kill the spawn near 3 civilians, 75 seconds.
- Ritual Knives: click 3 glowies and kill ambush, 75 sconds.
- A Shelter in the Storm: kill the spawn near 5 wards, 125 seconds.
- Thinning the Herd: kill 3 'boss' spawns, 80 seconds
- Prying Eyes: lead escort to objective, kill 3 ambushes, 220 seconds
- Enemy of My Enemy: kill spawn near 3 NPCs, 65 seconds
- Blade of Another Name: kill end-room 'boss' spawn, 30 seconds
- Ancient Souls: destroy object, kill ambush, 60 seconds.
Maharaj:
- A Little Less Fame: kill end-room 'boss' spawn, 45 seconds
- Death's Toys: click 3 glowies, kill ambush, 80 seconds
- Armor of the Soul: escort to door, 85 seconds
- Death Magic: lead escort (who can be recaptured by foes) to target, kill ambush, 165 seconds
- Allies and Anchors: kill the spawn near 3 anchors, 90 seconds
- Culling the Competition: kill three spawns, 120 seconds
- To Catch a {character name here}: destory object and spawn, kill ambush, 90 seconds
- Two Birds: kill spawn near 4 Tsoo, then go back and kill the 4 Tsoo, 195 seconds
-
It would be more proper to say converters don't change their trading status because Boosted IOs are semi-character bound (if you trade them to another person, the boost is stripped). You can convert Boosted IOs and they remain Boosted IOs and, thus, semi-character bound.
