.Quote:I would NEVER insult you like that D_R... get this woman more coffee!!... (And birthday cake.. Happy Birthday!)Originally Posted by Dark_Respite
When I first read .that, I thought you meant the thread was mind-boggling FAIL. It's still early in the day.
The "Spartacus" thing would have to be a badge, or even better, an Accolade - say, "By sparing their lives in the Arena, you've earned the loyalty of 100 slaves. Once every 20 hours, you can incite a group of slaves to rally to your cause." (Imagine something like a REALLY amped up Gang War temp power!)
Probably in the same place as my dignity and my PS job offer letter.

I LOVE the gang war idea..... BUT.... it NEEDS an AoE Confuse with all the slaves yelling "I'M Spartacus!!!" -

We've got Titan Weapons...

Now we've got Ligers and Lions...
And soon we'll have Staves...
And panthers...
Could it be that we'll soon have...

And Hell YES this would be awesome.. but throw in The Battalion showing up saying "hmm.. wrong time zone.. should have taken a left at Albuquerque...."
OR a Praetorian Cimerora run by Infernal? (so THAT's Where he got to...) -
It was the Waiver to upgrade the game from T for Teen to X....

There is Always One Identifier
This will give you 5 charges of the "Who Hasn't Clicked The Button?" power. Executing this power while you are one person away from entering an event or Incarnate Trial will highlight name of the character you are still waiting on. In addition, a giant arrow indicator will appear over their head, the game will sent them a tell, email them, send an SMS to their phone, call their home telephone and dispatch a local security firm to their house to get them to click the "Enter" button.
Price: 160 Paragon Points for 5 charges. Less when bought in bulk.

Can we PLEASE HAVE THIS FOR REAL??? Also.. Well Played sirs! ::Golf Clap::
P.S. This pic now became my new wallpaper.... -
Yup, absolutely...
Orange for LB, Blue tint for Ghost Legion, and a dark Green for Healers Union chat are my standard go to colors, I've also recently taken to coloring the UI to match the colors in the character's costume. -

Honestly Z... Probably the same cost as the MM and Controller are now... -
There's a lot of unused contacts scattered around.. anyone remember Canada Joe in Port Oakes?

Quote:Very good point Ion. However.. I think the problem may not lie soo much in the Incarnate powers but rather the... narrow focus of some Defender primaries. Empathy is far more than just heals, but its' single target buffs are less... noticable on a Trial that the big green aoe numbers and with anyone able to take Rebirth I can see where the impression comes from. Same with Force Fields and Barrier.Originally Posted by Energizing_Ion
While I think I know what you're saying, I will disagree to a point. Sure it may feel like your, let's say, scrapper feels insignificant in a 24 team in an iTrial but I know that everyone has their part in a trial.
Everyone brings something to the game...as long as the leader of the itrial knows what he/she is doing and can communicate that to others well and in a timely manner things are great (of course it helps to have people that listen/obey to those instructions).
Again for the most part I agree. I don't think it's a bad thing that the incarnate powers are making "people" redudant...I love that I don't get mez'd on my Kin/Rad def (or other squishies) or what have you. It's making me feel powerful.
But to the OP....
If you find yourself always in an itrial and just "buffing and blasting"...then maybe re-consider your slotting and make your attacks do more damage (or debuff)..."blasting" on a defender is fun
And no matter what (unless the next incarnate slots dispense 800+ HP heals every second and it's perma) a good healer is always welcome.
I think some of the older sets could do with a touch up. This is why I love the later sets, they have a bit of everything, not so narrow. Prehaps make some of Empathy or Pain Dom's buffs aoe rather than ST? -
Quote:You forgot Chimera.... And there's a hint here and there that he'll be showing up soon.Originally Posted by Kasoh
Infernal, Black Swan, and Cole are the only ones left I think, if we're going to count Apex and Tin Mage as a suitable encounter of Neuron, Bobcat, and Battle Maiden.

Quote:Dual Blades actually got a big AoE Boost with the I22 AS Buff- now that the sweep combo can be used out of hide its become part of my regular chain as much as possible.Originally Posted by UnicyclePeon
Do any Stalkers have any good AOE options? I seem to remember that maybe Elec Melee gets lightning rod, which seems unfairly sick compared to what other stalkers get (in terms of AOE). My friend made Elec/ for some reason, I havent asked him why he went with Elec/ but as a min/maxer, I assume he picked Elec/ because lf the AOE.
Anyway, I am just wondering if any other sets posess any nice AOE?
Thanks,
Lewis
PS- putting the Achillies Proc in Ablating Strike means it becomes AoE as the finisher in Sweep.. Gravy! -
Quote:Only a buff in name.... its actually a Joke.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
After the first time through the arcs, all the DA arcs share the same reward table. Each item on the reward table is on a 20 hour cool down.
10 Threads first time, 1 thereafter. The 10 threads being on a 20 hour cooldown.
Call it what you want. This is a buff from Beta.
Sad part is.. some of the best writing in the game is tied to the most insulting rewards in the game. -
Quote:I thought each arc was on a 20 hr timer? So 4 arcs (max's doesn't grant a component) per day = 4 components per day (the 2nd time through Dream Doctors only grants 1), then 2 Emps a week for all 5 arcs?Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
Is 2 emps and 7 components per week actually being considered a fair and viable progression for soloists by the developers?
What are the chances that the 1 component per day time gate is going to be changed to 1 component per arc per day? As it stands, I can't resub until we get something better than this.
Plus 15+ Threads a day for 2 repeatable missions? (I'm assuming it drops to 5 per mission after the 1st time at 10) If the 2nd + repeatable missions are still at 1 thread than I call utter bull s hi t. -
It drops Next Tuesday.. today should be Beast MMs
-
Got some decent progress-
1) General Pandemic (Mercs/Poison MM) 41-50 (my main goal)
2) Nightmaristic (Dark/Dark Dom) 1-29
3) Street-fight (Inv/StJ Tank) 11-20 and outta Praetoria
4) Hot Minute (Time/Fire Def) 1-20
5) Fillet o Fish (TW/WP Scrapper) 14-26
6) 1-3 levels on about a dozen other characters
And all toll.. around 3 billion Inf made

Come on gang.. it can be a new Mini-game! Get to 50 before your Tier 1 pets finish a level 1 Hellion!
-
Yup, ran one on my 41 MM this morning.. we beat AV right after I hit 42... and DING suddenly i was 44
-
If you want rare... Try a Dual Blades/EA Brute... I sometimes think mine is the only one of that combo in the whole game!

Quote:The disconnect is you simply can NOT go.. oh... it's fixed on Beta so just push that.. software rollouts NEVER work like that for good reason.Originally Posted by CactusBrawler
Maybe I missed something but wasn't the OP complaining about Issue 22 going live with bugs that were found and even in some cases fixed on Beta?
Just because it appears fixed on Beta does not mean it has been approved and checked at all levels, from Producer level down to QA. No business that wants to stay in business will jump over their quality/control and accountability structures just so something can get rolled out fast.. I suggest you look at the History of the Windows Vista release as an example of when a product is pushed out the door before it's ready.
Is it a shame that Staff and Beasts aren't available fsor Double XP? Yes it is. Is it annoying that the Dark fixes aren't ready and signed off on yet? Absolutely... But the flip side is.. More bugs are not introduced bvia a rush job.
I've noticed since Freedom theres been more of a push to go live with bugs and I suspect that's due to the game's new revenue dependence on the Paragon Market but all MMOs go through this.. if someone can't deal then they shouldn't be playing an MMO. -

Quote:If they DO stack then those 8 hour Double XP boosters better go on the market tomorrow so I can pull a 36 hour CoH run!!!Originally Posted by Dark_Respite
I have already heard from Zwill that the XP Boosters from the Super Packs *DO* stack with 2xp weekend.
Several of our SG mates will be on that weekend, helping each other get to/thru certain content. Personally I'm hoping for either Staff Fighting or WWD7 to launch tomorrow so I can really go to town!

I started "prepping" last night... moving a bunch of villains 50% along to becoming Rogues because I'd like to maximize my teaming that weekend.
Assuming Staff doesn't come out tomorrow, here are my goals:
1) Get my new Dark/Dark Dom as close to 50 as I can...
2) FINALLY finish my lvl 41 Merc/Poison MM
3) Push my Therm/DP Defender to 50 (32 atm)
4) Blitz TFs as much as I can to help people get TF Commander and lvls!
Does anyone know if the Double XP boosters on Beta right now stack with "double XP weekend"? If soo.... PLEASE LET THEM HIT THE MARKET TOMORROW!!! -
I sooo much prefer the comic version of Shane's death better- this one felt like a .... letdown....
