Quote:Ok, here's the test for today: Grab a DP whatever character, shoot an enemy, then turn on a toggle and shoot another enemy. Reply with whether redraw occurred.Originally Posted by Silverado
The same way turning any other toggles on doesn't cause redraw. -
I use it for end management far more than I use it because the double-mag is needed. Edit: I think I used it once for its break-free effect.

Quote:How do they not cause redraw when you turn those toggles on?Originally Posted by Silverado
It's also worth noting that rad debuff toggles don't cause redraw (because they're... you know, toggles)

At first I couldn't figure out how to deal with jolting chain. It made no sense to me that anyone would bother taking this power at all.
And then I got conductive aura and the lightbulb went off.
Elec Control on a dom is going to be awesome for any dom that loves to stay in melee. Keep them bouncing all around you with JC while CA saps them clean while you pound the snot out of them with melee attacks.
My current dom is elec/ene because I had been having so much fun with my grav/ene all due to the high range damage of /energy. It's so easy to keep everything Out of melee with that combo, I assumed I'd want to do the same here.
Now I have to rethink my build completely for melee carnage and yes, I will have JC slotted 2acc/3rec-red/1end and plan to spam the hell out of it. -
Big holes to psi and toxic. Needs to lean heavily on its tier9. Takes a lot of work to softcap. On the plus side, it does get a minor self-heal and very good endurance management.

Only in your opinion!
I, for one, love the change to ET for thematic reasons! -
It has no crash like rage does and at level 8 I saw PS spike my damage buff to 156% on a scrapper. So.. does it suck? Not at all.

Let's all invade Pinnacle's Praetoria and team together as disgruntled customers from another server!

Okay, small consolation, but the slots are NOT lost. They will come back up when the store comes up.
Do they need to fix (or, more appropriately BREAK) the link between the store and the redeemed slots (either purchased from the store or from vet awards)? Absolutely. But please don't make it out to be worse than it is:
Slots redeemed WILL become available one the store is back up. Let us give them time to fix it. THEN we can urge them to prevent it from happening again.
Is this a nuisance? Yes. Was it an avoidable issue that tarnished an otherwise relatively smooth release? Yes. Am I more annoyed at Paragon for breaking my surround sound? Yes. Will I get over it? Also yes. -

Here, have a cookie. Sorry I took a bite, I was hungry.
Heretic. -
Quote:Nooo, NOBODY saw this coming.
Exactly. Slots cannot be removed once claimed, and cannot be transfered to other servers once claimed. Yet, they're still tied to the online store even after purchase. This seems like a fundamental design flaw IMPO, one I feel should have been corrected some time ago when we first saw this happen when the Online Store went offline. -

Except horses can't talk, or type, so they can't go to the forums to complain that they're thirsty and can't afford to purple out their Warshades.

Quote:Yea, bummer but thanks for the heads up, A.
Ahh well that's disappointing, although it makes sense.
Look fine to me so far. I'm cruising with black and red KM and the dark shield.Quote:Also, to anyone who knows, how do the KM animations look with Shields? -
Quote:Pushing +400 damage buff if you can get PS doublestacked. That should be... special.Originally Posted by SevereCalamity
I believe so, Bill. I didn't play the set much at all in beta because I wanted it to be fun when it went live, but from what I've read it does stack twice. I think it's pretty much impossible to have it up more than that.

I went KM/SD on a scrapper. Watched my damage buff tag 125% at level 6 last night. Saturate AAO on top of that, go for max recharge for the tightest attack chain I can, see what kind of DPS I can push out.
My only question is this: If the tier9 has a 20% chance of insta-recharging Power Siphon, does it cause PS to doublestack the damage buff if you're lucky enough to fire it off again while PS is up? (If this has already been answered my apologies.) -
Sam, another thread on this topic already exists for your reading pleasure.

Hopefully the devs will unass this issue soon. -
Unable to access new slots: Bad
Unable to get proper surround sound functionality: Bad
New KM/SD scrapper: Good, I expect stupidly low pylon times with this one.
New Elec/Ene dominator: Good, have to delete/reroll to go loyalist since the scrapper is full resistance
Both new characters will be going redside at 20. -
Was a good thought, and I was able to turn on 3D Sound in game, but I still have no directional sound and it appears to cause something of a performance hit when I set it to XP compatibility mode.
-
Fully updated all Creative software using their updater, option in game is still set to N/A, but I do have sound working through all speakers again. Except it's still non-directional. It's all frontloaded.
Please devs, reverse this. Having me play without surround sound is no different than having me play without any antialiasing. It's not worth it. -
Did you thing that brutes needed any love? They solo faster from 1 to 50 than any other AT. They're now in perfect balance between tanks and scrappers. Stronger than the first and tougher than the second.
So why the whining? -
Will do shortly. Thanks, Chaotic.

My son has been digging the new series considerably.
