    Gold.
  2. Am now a part of the discussion.
  3. A thread on this guy in every server forum and here, he's loving this.
  4. Champion is a dark dark server filled with sociopaths and miscreants, find the door, run run run.
  5. Wow you really got up to speed quick after being away from the game for two years. And just in time for this thread. O-\-<]:

    What the devs did not plan for was the abuse of this tool; or maybe they did?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Matt probably should have been demoted over the retroactive fiasco, a simian could have foreseen what they missed.

    Having unexperinced players power levled, or farmed to level 50 without knowledge of the game, or what is outside Atlas is in my eyes is disapointing. It will be interesting to see what long term game effects this will have on the game in the future.

    From issues 1 through 4 there were hordes of lvl 1's tp'd directly from creation in AP/Gal to Portal Court, to spend an entire 'career' (day or two) leveling to 50 at the front of the mission afk.

    A lot of those players are still around the server, what effects would you say that's had on the game today, three years later? =T

    I openly pl'd rad/rads in 04 because there weren't enough on the server to beat Hami (some of you still have them you're welcome ), but I hated it because it's so boring.
    On the other hand, if you enjoy it, have at it, your $15 bucks goes towards my part of the game too.

    I'm more concerned with the Champion view on it,

    [/ QUOTE ]

    There might be 40 players who frequent the champion boards, and most of them (judging from history) lean against it, while in some cases managing to partake in it to a degree.

    Out of the other few thousand, using only complaints via Broadcasts/Request/PvP & Local channels, it doesn't seem to be an issue with that many subscribers.
    Not a case you could win in court, but anecdotal anyway.

    Does AE need XP?

    [ QUOTE ]


    I think you might see the XP lessened..

    [/ QUOTE ]


    Highly doubtful, it would be a reversal of the promoted XP parity with the regular game.
    The MA would become the Arena equivalent, an inspire dispenser.
  9. I feel like a tool for taking 1200 hours on my first 50.
  10. Thanks for the feedback.
    And I know it's been covered at nauseum, but trekking back to two lowbie zones to pay rent is ridiculous.

    Devs if there's nothing coming to bases in the near term, at least plop a couple dudes in PI & Grandville who can take the fracking rent.

    270 (at least for the Numinas)

    This is the route I usually go for the rares as well.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ditto.
  12. So my wife pays the rent for both our hero & villain bases, and recently it struck her how often she felt it was due for both sides.
    So she just logged on and it's due again, 300 prestige for both bases just two weeks after the last round of upkeep.

    Though aside for designing/creating I'm not very interested in the bases, I always thought the upkeep was once a month, not every two weeks.

    I lack the interest to search, so does anyone know, was it changed after the free rent per smallest plot giveaway was revoked?
  13. Who else was expecting a follow up to LISAR's
    "ME!" thread? Be honest.
  14. Steadfast has the nice def/res global, and a combination of two bumps recov 1.5%, a nice little addition to an end heavy primary especially if it's tripled in a build.

    You might find that two -k/b io's offer a more desired result.
  15. No closed beta invite hand outs this year?

    The eastern half of the united states is so frakked for these things.
    On the other hand, y'all are stuck with California. =T
  16. @Neuronia - Ill/Emp Controller
    @Talon Arsenal - Blaster
    @Pazahar - Scrapper or Ill/Rad

    @Meowtch - rad/rad fire/kin cold/cold emp/psi 8 other 50s
  17. War Mace and Battle Axe are very similar, both have one PBAoE and one Cone, the PBAoE are identical, but the cone recharges faster for war mace, and has a wider arc (45) at slightly lower damage.

    Bash has the same Damage, Endurance Cost, and Recharge Time as Beheader. It has the same chance to Stun as Barrage [EM].

    Pulverize has the same Damage, Endurance Cost, and Recharge Time as Chop. Pulverize has a 20% Stun mag 2 chance. Energy Punch [EM] has a 30% Stun mag 2 chance. This power has the same dps as Axe but has a less effective Stun than EM.

    Jawbreaker has the same Damage, Endurance Cost, and Recharge Time as Gash. Jawbreaker has a 75% Knockup chance while Gash has a 50% Knockdown chance. This power has the same dps as it's equivalent in Axe but has a better chance of Knockup.

    Clobber does more Damage, with higher Endurance Cost and slightly slower Recharge Time then Swoop. Clobber has a mag 3 Stun, while Swoop has a 70% Knockup chance.

    Whirling Mace has the same Endurance Cost and Recharge Time as Whirling axe. Whirling Mace has higher damage than Whirling Axe and the same chance to Stun as Energy Melee's Whirling Hands.

    Shatter does less damage, but costs less endurance (11. to 14.) and has a faster recharge than Cleave (12s to 15s). Both powers have an 80% chance of Knockdown, while shatter has a much larger cone (45 to 20).

    Crowd Control does less damage, but costs less endurance and has a faster recharge (12s to 15s) than Pendulum. Crowd Control has a 60% chance of knockdown while Pendulum has a 50%. Crowd Control has a higher Range, Radius, and hits twice as many Max Targets (10 to 5) as Pendulum.


    Both sets currently have fairly good attack speeds, some disorienting and knockUp/Down capabilities, an accuracy bonus, moderate to high endurance use, heavy smashing aoe, and strong ST damage.

    On the other side you could say both sets comparatively lack a "wow" power ie Total Focus-Knock Out Blow, although Crowd Control is now like a half Footstomp.

    Check out Starsman's charts to get a better idea where the two sets stand in relation to the other secondaries.

    And weapon customization might also help you in deciding.

    Whatever you decide on, have fun. =T

    I'm just waiting to see if they take the most requested power set ever, Dual Pistols, and put it in Going Rogue to force folks to buy it.

    I'll be buying GR anyways, but I'm curious to see if they offer Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning as a seperate purchasable package, or if buying GR for $50 will be the only way to get the set.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    My money is squarely on the premise that Dual Pistols is going to be exclusively in Rogue. Its just a funny feeling I have....

    "the most requested power set ever."
    Bleh.
