I copy and pasted but it comes up as invalid file.

Both involve clicking a button. I fail to see how one is a skill and the other is not.

If you are referring to Placate being a "skill" of your toon when compared to using a BF, then I kind of see your point.

However I took it that the previous poster was claiming that a player using Placate was skill while someone using a BF was not. That's where I fail to see the distinction...still.

Wait a minute. Clicking Placate is a skill and clicking a BF isn't? How again do you make the distinction?

As far as I can see, both require the same amount of work to be done by the player.

Click - Placate activated

or

Click - BF used



Neither one is a "skill".

I love the Greyle and X-Templar you've done for me. They look awesome! Great work as always!

We are pretty much done I just want to test everything but I cant until I finish this pencil piece Greyle. I was going to launch it last night but I took Nakiesha on a date to celebrate her B-Day.

HBD to Nakiesha!

I recently heard from Jomaro and he is currently working on some artwork. From what I've seen it looks amazing and it's only just the rough sketches.

He is most definately one of the most talented artists out there right now.

He should work for one of the big comic companies like DC or Marvel. His stuff is better or equal to most of the artists that currently work for those companies.

Rikti drop tech stuff right?

Please consider changing this to magical..

[/ QUOTE ]

How are Rikti magical in any way? Just curious what would be the basis for this suggestion?

They are a tech based enemy, therefore they should drop tech based salvage/recipes.

Perfect_Pain, I have seen you say in other posts it doesnt matter what level you are, that you can street sweep, now admitedly Im a new player but to my knowledge you cant get drops from things that dont give you exp... isnt this so?

Assuming this is the case, how do you stop yourself outlevelling the area then having to relevel something to 10 in order to sweep?

[/ QUOTE ]

If it gives you XP, you have a chance to get a drop. No XP? No chance for a drop.

And in no way did i say it was guarenteed. What I did say is that if you street sweep large mobs of lower level foes

YOU WILL GET LOTS OF RECIPE DROP AND SALVAGE!...

People keep telling me that it is Luck.

Its not Luck if I know how to play the game to optimise my drop rate.

I dont think anybody is discounting the above statement.

What people are taking some exception to is what you said in a follow up post;
[ QUOTE ]

Then I, we wont have to read many posts about "Im not getting what I want". When they could just as easily go street sweep for a few hours.. and get what they are looking for.


[/ QUOTE ]

That is the statement that was so misleading. Since what most people want is one of the costume drops, or one of the proc IO recipes the actual time it takes to bend the odds into favor of one of those dropping is substantially more than a "few hours" .

Again, using the 1:approx 5000 numbers to reach a 95% chance of a costume drop.
If you spend all your time street sweeping in the hazard zones, (mob in those zones equaling between 8-15 critters for a median # of 11.5 and that’s being VERY generous) that's still 435 mobs you need to cut down.
Lets say it takes you on average of 1 minute to destroy that mob (I think that would be reasonable, taking into account the time for initial volley of AOE's, then time to finish off the boss and hunt down the runners) and then 30 seconds to locate the next mob of 10+'s and let your end/attack cycle recharge.
That’s still a total time of 10.875 hours (435 mobs*90 sec *1min/60 sec *1hour/60 min).

And that’s if you are ONLY farming for any one of the costume drops (note, ANY one, not a specific one). If you are using the time to hunt for drops and Inf. then you need to factor in the time to hit the store after every 10 or so mobs to sell off your recipes and salvage drops, and time to max out your debt load for extended farming time with that toon.

So generally a player is looking at 11+ hours of nothing street sweeping an area like PP to get a costume drop. Of course many will be lucky and get it sooner than that, but then many will also be unlucky and get it much later than that (or get piston boots which are selling for I think 2.5 mil right now).

So again, I don’t think anyone has said that you plan for maximizing drop potential is inaccurate, just misleading in the degree of success you have said people will see.

[/ QUOTE ]

Take what PP says with a grain of salt. She and her husband play everyday for 12+ hours.

Anyone with that much free time on their hands everyday has a better chance to get a drop than most people that play this game.

K, stupid question. Is there a date or some type of time window when CoP will start up again? I just readied my base for it, only to find out I can't do the Trial.

Don't count on it coming to live servers before I10 comes out...if ever.

The last I heard, the person/people that maintain the online builder(s) were quitting the game and were not going to update these programs.

I believe they were looking for someone to take over for them. I'm not sure if they were successful.

I use them to plan all my builds. Doing it the old fashioned way is tedious and very time consuming. These programs make it easier and are more convienient. I hope someone takes over and continues.

I very rarely play my villains, so I may be slightly inaccurate in their powers, lol.
