I know where to look for them Lemur, they were there yesterday and I made 100% sure the option to stop me seeing unclaimable items isnt enabled. I just hope it's a server issue, but do feel a bit better knowing they cant expire

A while ago I grinded the incarnate trials like crazy on my only 50 strong enough for them and earned the ascension radiance armour pieces that I wanted. I saw they had been mailed to my other characters and at the time I thought I could claim them once they reached 50. Now to my horror all of the mails with the costume pieces have gone from those chars and I have the option to re-buy them on the char who originally earned them.

I can only assume they expired, is that meant to happen for account based rewards? I also noticed that in I21 all vet rewards will now been done in the same way, via in-game mail and no longer claimed from the badge menu. Are those in danger of expiry as well?

Very upset at the prospect of having to grind for that armour again for my other chars as I thought it was a permanent account unlock

I'm happy enough with willpower but was more concerned with the relatively low damage output that DB seems to have compared to SS for example. It seems to take a while to burn down bosses that I've seen other primaries take down in a quarter of the time.

Thanks for the responses

Will stick with the toon, unlocked the judgement slot last night but havent slotted it as every successful trial I was in offered an uncommon component reward table. So I'm stocked up on uncommons but no commons at all :P

I was on a BAF trial last night with my DB/WP brute and felt almost useless the entire time, I saw an SS/SD brute leap into a massive mob of bosses and destroy them in no time yet I was struggling to stop the escaping mobs during the third phase of the trial. It seems really hard to keep my combos up against a mob who's constantly on the move.

Could anyone with a DB/WP brute give advice if this combo is worth keeping on a brute? Wouldnt like to spend lots of time grinding in the trials only to feel gimped

Does anyone know where to find out what the weekly TF/SF is? Hoping to get it done ASAP as this is my only day off this week

I can certainly confirm that brutes can indeed solo AV's. I solo'd Agent Indigo with my DB/WP brute about a year ago with no temps and only using a couple of insps through the entire fight. I almost solo'd AV level Aurora Borealis as well with no insps or temps whatsoever, I had her down to a sliver of life then she got in several lucky hits in a row and faceplanted me.

For the agent Indigo fight I had to use a couple of blue insps due to the length of the fight, but now with the cardiac boost I can run my 6 toggles at once and never run out of end so I might take another crack at that AV

Yup, I'm an EU player having the same problem. The only time I was able to play on the test server was about 12pm, havent been able to get back in for the rest of the day (is now 11:33pm here).

Nice, although I think Lord Recluse as an AV could be quite tough. My fight with the EB version of him got pretty nasty when he summoned his legion of bane spiders.

Keep 'em coming, anyone with melee oriented chars who've managed it? I want to hear your stories!

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any interesting stories of going up against an Arch-Villain/Hero solo and beating them without the use of any temp powers.

I had my first experience of that today Took my DB/WP brute to fight Agent Indigo, on relentless difficulty so she would spawn as a hero. The fight itself wasnt as hard as it was long, it cost 3-4 blue inps, 1 red, 1 purp, and 1 green.

I was able to knock her down a lot and thanks to my set bonuses I could regen some decent health during that time. I must have used Strength of Will about 4 or 5 times during the fight, but was mostly relying on that for the +end recovery. My poor blue bar hasnt taken that much of a beating since fighting Malta. Once I even unleashed demonic and turned off my +def and +res toggles during that time to get my endurance back

Does anyone have any similar stories to share? Would love to hear them

Ah cool, didnt know about the Ouroboros trick, thanks for the info

Thing is, I WAS next to a drone. But she targetted me and then tp'd me to a drone free spot.

Nah I was just there to get the Raider badge for the born in battle accolade. I thought it would be ok just to park my char in the hosp to get time accumulated and play GTA4 to pass time, periodly clicking my char to prevent AFK timeouts.

But having a hero deliberately being teleported into the supposed safe zone by another villain, then having said 'hero' laughing in my face about it makes me really upset about how some players treat others.

I was in the sirens call zone with my brute getting the time spent badge for an accolade. Now let me be clear that I do NOT like pvp, especially when faced with the following person.

A controller kept shouting at me to get out of the hosp and pvp, they claimed I should be engaging in pvp to get this badge and dont deserve the accolade otherwise.

They logged on their villain on another account and used this character to TP the hero into the hosp to kill my unprepared self. They did this several times. Is this an exploit in the game's mechanics?

I dont want to name names but this is one of the worst people I have ever come across in any online game. I really wish the devs wouldnt force people in Sirens to get an accolade badge.

I sent a petition about this person but was also wondering if the GM's would do anything.

Does anyone know if it's truly possible to solo AV's with a Dual blades / Willpower brute? Mine mainly uses the attack vitals and sweep combos but I'll be taking blinding feint again for the damage boost.

How would that sort anything? I'd still see the radio spam in the arena channel. I'll just put em on ignore as I've seen enough spammage to know who the key offenders are

Thanks for the answers everyone

That wouldnt really address the problem though, I like to read arena chat to see if anyone in other zones needs help with an AV etc. I shouldnt have to deny myself access to it because of a problem someone else is creating.

Anyway, it's all academic now as I got the wrong radio station

Ah, you could very well be right. Seems to be two radio stations, Redeemed's and Evolution. I got the wrong one, very sorry about that

I know it doesnt stop conversation, was just saying it's a bit annoying to see the same thing being advertised over and over

Hi, I'm not trying to be rude here as I know the Redeemed are a nice bunch of guys ( I was a member briefly ), but could you possibly ask whoever is hosting it not to spam the arena channel every 5-10 minutes about the radio?

Please forgive me if this sounds disrespectful in any way but the server really doesnt need to constantly hear the same advert . If they could possibly do it in broadcast, say in Atlas I wouldnt mind as much, but when they use server wide arena chat every 5-10 minutes saying the same thing it gets annoying

I know I'll probably be flamed for this but could anyone else voice their opinion on this? Thanks in advance

Sorry again if I'm coming off rude in this post.
