CaptSammy

Will there be any info released officially or by participants from the panel? Here is hoping somebody gets all the goody news out to the rest of us poor saps.

Is there a Ustream chat today? I thought yesterday they said there would be.

My main account will go VIP as $$ allows (think it will be down for a couple weeks here in a few days anyway but will renew when I can).

My second account is a few years old (i created it before the SG prestige double grants from long ago because I used it for that and think i had it before) but it only has one year of actual vet time due to spotty subscription. It will PROBABLY stay premium.

my third account was a cheap GR code I got and only had the one free month to it. it is inactive and will probably be premium, that gives me 4 slots.

I wish they would have given us more of a heads up on that GR sale they had the other day. I would have saved the $$ to buy a couple more accounts. for $10 I would have got 2 more slots (than just creating a free account after Freedom launches) and would have been premium status.

The devs got this question directly (do not remember if it was on chat, forum, or facebook) but they said that there was no comment at this time, it will be addressed as more information comes out.

As far I know you can not transfer Incarnate SALVAGE between characters, but you can 'purchase' threads for another character with Astral of Emp merits.

You can buy a certificate for 4 threads with an Astral merit. The certificate (and the threads) can then be claimed on another character on the same account.
I think on Emp merit will buy you 18 threads for another character.

I tried to go to different zones, but had to go through my base, because the tram doors were not closing, or it would let me click on them but the game would hang and not go to the new zone.

I beat the lag by leveling one of my characters IN PRAETORIA. No lag there, haha.

Thanks. Logged in for the first 20 mins, then decided it was decidedly NOT worth it.

where do I find the info on what the SURGE actually is. What zone, whats the deal. I cant find any info.

It is really not that bad. It seems intimidating, but if you run the 11 missions total over two days or more and get the hero merit, you can turn it into 80-100 million if you buy the right recipe. That is half what you have total now, so that is a great way to build up a little.

Well someone may know something even better, but I can buy a Kinetic Combat Dam/End for 1 Hero Merit, and sell it for 90-100 million crafted, and use AE tickets for the salvage.

That is 50 regular merits and 20 million to get 90-100 million. That is 70 million profit in exchange for 50 regular merits. What can you buy with 50 merits that will sell for that.

Now if you are trying to earn an average recipe with hero merits, it might be cheaper to buy it, or just use tips, like you mention.

There was an Excellent and Amazing thread in the I20 Beta Forums listing a ton of info on what each power did, the recipies for them, etc. However, that board had disappeared. Did someone copy that thread or the info over to the normal permanent forums? I have not found it yet.

Here is hoping it is a lag fix for BAF.

actualy my only trouble was a complete computer freezeup - couldnt even Alt-Ctl-Esc out, during a Lamda last night. The crate area was horrible.

I clicked 'Join' last night. Ran upstairs (from my mom's basement, go ahead and joke) microwaved dinner, got a drink, hit the head, and was back right as Nightstar spawned.

I intially thought you were all crazy. But I have noticed the following.

I had great luck at first on my scrapper. 3 rares my first three BAF completions. After that I am mostly common, with a few uncommon, and 1 rare since.

I started getting added to the boss takeout teams on BAF and my luck has gone down, but I have NEVER in 20+ league wins EVER got the thread only table. My luck has never been good on Lamda because I suck at the sabotage phase. But again, no thread only.

Then I try to start my Fire/kin on the trails, and the first two runs i got the thread only. Too low of numbers to be sure, but I think this warrants further study.

Positron was asked about this at the informal developer USTream chat that other day. This really did take them by suprise, they really expected the LFG to be popular. So they are aware of the problem. He did not give any kind of clear answer, but it is being looked at.
Also the thread about a specific area to gather for trails was mentioned to him and he was intrigued. Pocket D and RWZ are being used, but those places already have purposes, and league forming is conflicting with that. Its hard to get teams into the proper RWZ instance. Pocket D holds more but has RP going already. And if you are on Virtue, like I am, you do not want to mess with the RP'ers. :-)

So do not expect things to change overnight, but we do know the devs are aware and thinking about what they want to do.

I just do not get it.

I have never done a Lamda that did not clear the street, courtyard, and turrets. It just makes the last phase go so much smoother, increasing the chance for success.

The warworks in the first phase of the BAF despawn after 40, or I could see people POSSIBLY farming more of that. But you can't. I have never seen a BAF where they consciously put off taking out the AV to farm the adds. Though having people handle the adds is (in my mind) essential. I have never had a team succeed without taking care of them because of there +dmg +acc increasing over time.

Its not my 'Best' but I have Magic Master on Virtue, so that is telling you how old that character is.

I saw a Citadel forming on Virtue today.... Constant ITF's of course. If you were having fun two weeks ago, all that stuff is still there.

I have 86 characters planned. Only half have actually been made. Most are lower level. Only 8 are 50.

Now I am very attached to my main 'personal' character. For years before GR, that character sat around because he was 50 and there was nothing to do with him. No more advancement. Now I have that advancement. I am playing a lot of trails. I will probably get sick, but only my main and my farmer p/l character will be doing them. If I get bored, Ill go back to leveling my other characters.

TuT PuG BAF teams can work. If I do not see stuff forming anywhere, I will take that option. You may or may not compete but you can usually get a couple astrals at least. PuG Lamda's are 8 man teams and have little chance.

The first problem with PuG Baf's is getting the person with league star to see that they have league star and usually panic and pass it.
The low numbers can work for you, but the AT mix is the other problem. They can be done, though.

There are TWO reasons to pull to courts:
1.) Safety from the towers.
2.) Ease in switching attacks from one AV to the other

There are reasons NOT to pull to courts:
1.) Challenge.
2.) The badge for defeating them seperately.
3.) The Astral merit for the badge (everytime)
4.) The random uncommon component for the badge (the first time)
5.) The badge, Astral merit, and first time uncommon componet for the tower takedown badge.
6.) The badge, astral merit, and rare componet for completing the "Master Of" for getting all four badges (I have the other two already).

So would definetaly love to complete it like that at least once.
