British Battler

Whilst watching some of the vids that you all do I have noticed that some trollers and doms have their pets displayed like a mm does. How the heck do you do it, the only time I did this was when I swapped from a mm to my crab, and I thought it must just be a bug.

Sorry if I am having a blonde moment, but just had to ask

I see myself just getting the badges on my 3 badging characters and then going back to normal play...so no effect here.

Reality wise, and Game wise....Crossed arms looks basically pants for pistols and claws, so I am happy with the changes.

I for one am happy it's gone. Good call Devs you're right on the animations this time....now if only we could do something with ET and TF on EM...like reinstate old ET's animation to TF with a slightly longer animation time...say 2 seconds and keep ET's animation at the approx 3 seconds and I'd be happy. Then we wouldn't have 2x3sec animation time on 1 powerset

Just do what I did, find a recipie with dirt cheap salvage at the lowest level possible and craft and delete them, unless they sell for good inf that is. I think I did it on a load of level 10 common IO recipies and just binned them, sure its an inf sink, but isn't getting the crafting badges an Inf sink anyway

GG, you are aware that all of the Americans history comes from Hollywood, so they may not know a lot of the back story in a historical way

I am assuming this is a respec build designed for only doing late game stuff.....otherwise I'd swap dull pain and resist elements around straight away, and probably get rid of it, and two of the auxil picks for boxing(or kick), tough and weave, as Inv benefits from fightings picks.

Just my opinion, I'm sure many would either agree or disagree.

Confusion reigns on the generation of inf...hmm, so let me get this right, if I play a hero from level 1-50 they will generate more inf than a villain from 1-50. And if the markets are merged so that heroes and villains trade on the same market my villain would still generate less inf than my hero.??? Funny, on the way to 50 mine seem to generate roughly the same.

The way I see it may be differant.......Their is more inf Blue side due to the age differance/population, not due to individual inf generation, as I have more rich redside alts than I do blue side ones, so if it's individual inf generation on the way to 50 I cannot see a problem in merging the markets. Simply the fact that their is more overall inf blueside...not inf/character should have no bearing on the markets at all.

After all, it's just play money in a play universe, and GR would be a great time to just get rid of the market divide and have an interdimensional trader in Preatorian Earth.

Having leveled a Night Widow and not quite finished IOing it out yet, I have a few questions about this "Soft Cap" thing.

1. Does the Soft Cap just apply to even level enemies

2. Is it worth exceding...as I have 63% melee, 65% ranged and 50% AoE after I attack as I have mind link perma's without even having a lotg slotted yet.

3. If it is worth it so you can fight higher that evens...why the heck is it called the "Soft Cap" AS WE ALL HAVE THE CHOICE TO FIGHT UP TO +4'S SOLO NOW!!! So if they have a higer chance to hit us, why don't we have a "HARD CAP" discussion. I don't know how this works, but if +4's have a 5%/lvl higher chance to hit us, would this translate to out characters needing 65% defence to achive the same mitigation from defence as fighting even level opponents.

The Mission Computer sounds like it could be a promising thing to use......

Idea 1 : It allows you to use the AE to store SG missions on outside the AE slots, but it can only be used by SG members..or teams led by members of that SG. 3 SG AE slots so 3 mission Arcs, which could be written by or edited by people using the SG permissions. As a side note to this idea, it would be nice if these were occassionally looked at like AE missions and those deemed great could get a SG Devs Choice, published on the general AE system and used for normal play. A great way to reward SG plaers who think of themed SG missions rather that map farms etc.

Idea 2: Dev written SG missions.....Similar to TF's but soloable if you want like the Orobouros TF's, which unlock new items for your base or give prestige boosts per sg member per times run. This would enable SG's to boost there prestige to use in base construction etc.

Or have both, either way it's just an idea, but I think that either of them would be a great addition to SG's. Both would be great, but if only one was given I would be more than happy. All just ideas to think about.

Nice work, really helpful, and if you did do that in 5mins you need to be employed by some company somewhere that could exploit your talents to the full

I have to say, THANKYOU FOR THIS, you have given me a real chuckle with this write up, i really wiah I could be bothered to do this type of thing with one of my alts when I start them.

Keep it up

And I like my xp, drops , inf and badges the proper way myself...grr, they're all I do now really in between the Arcs as I lvl normally and TF's. I don't mind exemping and it's nice getting recipies drop that are out of my normal lvl range.

BIG PROBLEM WITH THE NEW PATCH

I have been working few some of the Flashback badges with a lot of characters recently, using the 1st hollows of officer wincott to get 1-14 badges.

I did one before the servers went down, and have just completed one now, and all the enemies were of the minimum level (5) available to the arc, not the usual lvl 14/15.

No XP was awarded, but merits and fb badge was awarded.

As I like to go over old missed arcs besides the badge ones, for merits and xp since exemp xp was implimented I see this as a big problem, Especially if this will also extend to TF/SF's.

I have bugged this as well, just thought that this would be best place to post this as it relates to the last patch.

It might be a bit like Unions own dxp when it had al its own problems a while back...get over it and live with it....they decide, not you.

I.E. if you don't like it....TOUGH

I find most of the new players I come across generally say they are new, and generally take advice well.....and as I normally team with the same people whenever we come across a new player we all try to help them. We genearally play normal content unless someone has made an AE arc they want us to try out and stay away from the AE, but the AE has left fewer new players in the normal zones than usual, and we have had a few scary moments when a lvl 40+ has asked what is an SO and IO, but we realise "We live in interesting times" and have the same patience with them as any other at the moment.

It's after 3 or 4 missions when they still don't seem to take advice that we change our minds

Anyone know when and if Mothership raids take place on a regular basis here, and if so when ?

I used to play on both EU and NA servers up until the past week, now my EU subs have come to an end I play on the NA servers permanently.

I have not found any problems getting teams normally and have not had more than 1 or 2 bad experiances from these ex colonial types, in fact my global list is full of decent players who are up for TF's etc most of the time.

At the moment I'm on Justice and Protector a lot at the moment, but have good set ups on Freedom and Virtue as well, as well as at least 1 decent alt on all the other servers.
