Quote:Since the release of issue 19 I have soloed exclusively with my Dark Melee/Regen scrapper on the Champion server. I finished the Ramiel missions with ease (pre-patch) and have basically hunted Rikti bosses (and their helpers) in the warzone, some CoT (mostly bosses and LTs) in Peregrine, and run the usual 5 tip missions per day (difficulty set at +0 lvl, 1 hero, w/ bosses, no AVs). I have not run any TFs. I created the first tier Alpha in 1 day, and tier 2 a couple days later (admittedly marathon sessions of 6+ hours). As of today I have accumulated 90 shards for use on tiers 3 and 4 when they get released. I often get 5 or 6 shards a day, but at least 1 every day. I have twice gotten 2 shards in 3 kills (all minions in both cases).OK, so I dusted off one of my 50s this weekend, and IO'd him out the wazzoo, so he's ready to roll - I had actually forgotten how much fun Dark / Dark tanking was!
But now I am ready to look into getting him into the Incarnate system, but have no idea how to get started. The basic posting doesn't really cover the "how-to" part, and the paragonwiki is good, but is focused on the end result, not the getting there part.
So... how does one get started on this route? Particularly if you don't have the time to run a lot of TFs - I think I have done maybe ten TFs in my five years here.
By comparison, I have had 12 purple recipe drops, over 300 tier 3 inspirations, more than 50 rare salvage drops, uncountable enhancement set pieces, and hundreds of I/O recipes (all types except Endurance Modification; of which I have gotten 1) - all in the same time period: release of I-19 to 01/02/11 playing about 4 hours a day on average. By this math, the rarest drop in the game is lvl 50 I/O End Mod.
Happy Hunting,
After a long day of battling the Rikti, quench your thirst for power with a cool glass of Incarnate Shardonnay.
Well of the Furies winery, vintage 2011. -
Try typing this in the chat window:
/bind w "+forward$$em flypose1"
and hit return. This assumes the default keymapping using the "w" key to go forward.
Turn on Fly and begin moving. No emote, Don't Panic. Once you start moving tap the "w" key and hold it down. The emote should kick in, and will remain on if you hit the "r" key (standard map for autorun). When you stop flying, the program ignores the un-usable emote while you walk/run/sprint, etc.
Flypose2, flypose3, flypose4, and probably yoga will work too. -
Here's how to include a flypose emote when you fly.
To start with:
I use the "w" key to move forward (default).
I use the "8" key to toggle Fly on-off (why 8? I have no logical reason). Do Not use a number key if you normally change-out or cycle your primary tray to access more powers. If you do, choose a different key.
I use "y" to initialize the keybinds (mostly 'cause y isn't used for anything else).
You can substitute whatever keys your heroic/wicked little heart desires.
Create a folder to put the .txt bind files in.
I use C:\CoHbinds
Use Notepad to create two .txt files:
run1.txt and fly1.txt (you'll save them in the C:\CoHbinds folder you just made).
For run1.txt type exactly this (including quotation marks and blank spaces):
8 "powexecname fly$$bindloadfile C:\CoHbinds\fly1.txt"
For fly1.txt there are two lines of text (again include the quotes and blank spaces):
w "+forward$$em flypose1"
8 "powexecname fly$$bindloadfile C:\CoHbinds\run1.txt"
This inserts flypose1 as the emote, but flypose2, flypose3, and flypose4 work too.
In-game type this in the chat window (quotes+spaces included):
/bind y "bindloadfile C:\CoHbinds\run1.txt"
and hit the return/enter key. You only ever need to do this one time... Unless you re-map the "y" key, or the defaults get restored.
Now hit the "y" key to activate this awesome new bind. You need to do this every time you re-start the game.
Now when you hit the "8" key, Fly will activate-deactivate (just as if you had slotted Fly into power tray 1, key 8), however...
While flying, begin moving forward normally with the "w" key and Oh Crap! no emote! Don't Panic. Once you start flying forward, try a quick stutter on the "w" key and then hold it down; the emote should work. As long as you are moving a little, the emote will kick-in when the "w" keypress happens again. With a little practice it becomes second-nature to activate the emote every time.
You can now fly the unfriendly skys in style.
Enjoy!
