Quote:I'll echo most here in expressing my displeasure over the seeming total retcon of Statesman from events that happened BEFORE the SSA. Removing him as a TF contact makes sense, but to remove him from Marie Jenkins arc is a bit much. I feel epic when I rescue him. It's one of my favorite arcs in the game and should not be changed only for the sake of change. It isn't necessary. If you're dead set on changing this arc, at least leave the one in Ouroborus alone so that those of us who want to rescue Statesman can rescue him and get the old badge. Nothing against Positron, but it doesn't feel quite as epic, IMO.Originally Posted by Kid Snowflake
I'm against the removal of Statesman from events that took place before the SSA, and i'm certainly against the removal of the Statesman's Pal badge. That badge means a lot to some of my characters, representing a defining moment in their personal history.
Not to mention Positron's Pal doesn't even make sense. Statesman's Pal is a reference to "Jimmy Olsen, Superman's Pal". Positron is no Superman.
YMMV. -
I'll be there Friday with my DB scrapper and Saturday with Blade. Saint will be there with his fire/fire blaster and her snipe.

Quote:Thanks Ells, That would be cool. I didn't want to get in the way of anyone else's timetables, plans, stuff... and I hate breaking this TF up since I can't finish it next week ... OR, could be I'm just bummed about not getting a day off for 2 weeks,Originally Posted by Elllls
Um. If you Like you, me, and Saint Jon can run the second half after the first. I'm willing to get xp, and I have the time.

Quote:Shoot, I was hoping that wasn't the case, but oh well. I'm going to be working next weekend, so I can't make it then. As I like running both parts at the same time to get the badge, please take me (and Saint) off the list for this weekend.Originally Posted by Ironblade
The following week.
-
We'll be there with something:
Asgardian Blade: probably Asgardian Razor (claws/regen brute since Angelica isn't bringing a kitty)
Saint Jon: sumthin'
Also, are we running Part II? It's not specifically listed, but I'd like too. -

Actually, I was talking about in-game also.
In real life, I have never had more than two cats at once. And I have never had any kind of pet other than cats.
Think I'll stay away from RL, it's confusing.

Wait, are we talking in-game kittehs or RL kittehs...?
Well, I was talking in-game kitties, but have now found out that IB is, in RL, a manly man kitty owner. I knew you were Gate. Personally, I don't care for cats, we have doggies. Besides, even if I did, Saint's allergic to them so we couldn't have one anyway.
-
Exactly how many kitties do you have Angelica?
I have a few that need this, but I'll probably bring my widow.
@Asgardian Blade: Fortune's Widow (widow) or "Sumpin"
@Saint Jon: no idea but "Sumpin Sumpin Sumpin" -

You should avoid building a Very Rare from threads, if at all possible, because yeah, it's an insane number of threads (and 200m inf is not to a cost to sneeze at, either). Getting them randomly from reward tables, or guaranteed from empyrean merits, is far preferable.They are correct. I had really good luck with the reward tables when only BAF and Lam existed as I received the VR reward table a few times (ran a bunch of those). I never needed to create a T4 Very Rare. ShadowMoka's suggestion of running the harder trials to get the guarantee Rare/VR should be much easier (is Underground the only iTrial that guarantees those? I can't remember).Quote:Originally Posted by ShadowMoka
I avoid using shards for anything except converting to threads now. When you need a rare/VR, run the newer/harder trials for a guaranteed drop.
So, it may be that creating a T4 component from shards is cheaper with what you currently have.
Edit: Thanks Liz for the Underground clarification -
Quote:I sorta skipped all around your original question, sorry 'bout thatOriginally Posted by DaShuk2381
Mainly I'm just looking to see how others have gone about getting their T4 components, in terms of the shards vs. threads for creating the final components.
I crafted some alpha tiers with shard components on my first incarnate including T3. I have never used shards for T4, because in my experience, it's just faster to build using threads and thread components. I really don't use shards now, I convert them to threads.
Edit: Remember, you do not get shards in iTrials, only threads and thread components. This may make a difference in which path you pursue. -
IMO, the first thing you should concentrate on is getting level shifts. The shifts are more beneficial and important than any T4. As Hopeling pointed out, there isn't a huge difference between T3 and T4. Components are harder to come by in DA than running trials so it becomes important to plan out your build to stock up on the components you'll need for destiny and lore; that's even if you don't currently have the slots open. I was pleasantly surprised at the rate of iXP you can earn in DA, it's not bad, so opening slots in DA is reachable in a reasonable time frame. Also, I would T3 interface and judgement before working on any T4, including alpha (Lore before Alpha isn't a bad idea either). I have only one character fully T4'ed out and maybe 3 others with T4 anything and I enjoy all of them.
So - It really depends on what you want from your build, your playstyle and character. This is the pattern that I worked out for my builds on any new incarnate, whether using the new DA or running iTrials.
Edit: I will state that my preference is to run iTrials cause I actually enjoy them, but the new DA is pretty fun. -

Saint Jon: If at level by then, Shasta Darkwolf (BM/DM MM), otherwise, no idea but someone. -

Okay, time to get in a mission or two before bed.
Hit level 4 & checked out Lady Liberty's dialogue box as suggested.
HOLY WOW, tailor options? Hallelujah!
