  1. Fusion Force is hosting another couple of Rikti Ship raids this week on Wednesday. 8:30 Eastern

    Leader will be Ascension (Jack Virgo) different character but the same player leading as the last time.

    Last time we filled the RWZ, get there early to avoid disappointment.
  2. It is cross-server, including the European ones.

    As of I18/GR it will also be cross faction.
  3. I find scrappers more fun.

    It really boils down to a preference thing. Neither is far and away superior to the other.
  4. I'm not seeing this issue either.

    Whats you netgraph look like when you have the interface open ?
  5. arena and help both are server specific, but hit every zone and instance.
  6. All the pool powers have the 5% chance to critical for scrappers.

    Stalkers have their own peculiar criticals attached, such as the held, slept and if hidden.
  7. The servers are also at this time a sunk cost.

    It has been what 18 months since the last major upgrade (With the large amount of extended downtime). Major tech like that is depreciated over 12-24 months typically.

    The cost of maintaining them will be relatively small.

    Larger populations by definition increase the bandwidth usage, and the internet bandwidth costs for NCsoft are not cheap. (check any of their financial reports).

    Depending on the relative size of the maintenance, versus the increase in bandwidth from from fewer larger servers, it could be cheaper to keep the current set-up. (It could also be more expensive I don't have the figures, but I can bet you NCsoft does)
  8. It is meant to.

    Use of certain of the temp powers can eliminate the waves.

    The stalker one lets a stalker get to glowies which wipe them

    The dom one holds waves, which then corruptor can one shot with theirs.

    Its designed as a gadget fight.

    Launch day was the day it became 'when'. Server mergers are inevitable in any MMO. Be they in 6 months, 6 years or 60 years. Its is only a matter of time.

    The only way to avoid it, is never to reach launch day.
  10. I can make more in a single sale of a crafted high level common, than I can get from most of these low level sets.

    I put em up when I get em, but there just is not the general demand, and they sit for ages.

    On a field crafter this costs me turnover and inf. On a rarely played alt, I'll leave em there until I need to slot.
  11. Yeah. I'd have had my money on The Ocho drawing the heat.

    But I guess the Base raids not actively being worked on is a big announcement, and maybe they thought it deserved a Dev rather than a Community rep.

    I used to have a decent amount of fun in our 'friendly' base raids within our coalition. I am sorry that they wont be coming back in any form soon.
  12. The items of power as the reward was planned opened your SG base to base raiding.

    This switch was never thrown, the brief period it was live, the items did not set the PVP raid flag.

    The Cathedral itself was always a PVE 'raid'
  13. We need more influence sinks not fewer.

    SO that never got old, would add further to the ever increasing amount of inf in circulation.
  14. http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Table_of_Special_IOs

    Your one stop shop for all these questions, however I note the PVP Ios haven't been added.

    Its a global bonus (like a set bonus) so should be active no matter if the power is active or not.

    I'm not sure how the global flag interacts with PVP IOs and exemping. In a normal set, you would lose the bonus going more than 3 levels below the level of the enhancement.

    PVP IO set bonuses don't go away with exemping. So it could stay or go. Maybe someone who has tested this can chime in ?

    I'm very happy with it. I have heavily invested in +recharge. Still vulnerable to burst damage, but if I don't get killed by an alpha, I know the fight is goign to be mine.
  16. Claws/regen scrapper

    or rad/rad defender (though my son/son is probably pipping him right now)
  17. A source, not THE source.

    I have seen (and participated in) several low key versions of the mash, mainly stockpiling EOE for Master LGTF runs.
  18. Catwhoorg

    My first solo AV

    Congrats.

    You never forget the first time.
  19. I'm going to disagree with that blanket statement Tony.

    Being part of one of the 'Top SGs' on Triumph, (Fusion Force) we don't farm prestige.
    We have a fun and active group, and the prestige just keeps coming in because of the TFs mission teams and the like we get going.

    The leader was even interviewed recently:
    http://www.massively.com/2010/04/28/...ity-of-heroes/

    This is, I admit, unusual for groups high up in the rankings in the game as a whole, but is actually pretty normal for Triumph. A good number of our top 20 are 5-6 year old groups, who just play the game and have fun.
  20. Its a display error

    The ED cutoff for damage resistance comes in at the ~60% level.

    Check the actual amount of damage done in game and the demons are doing the correct amount.
  21. at 40 you catch the tail end of

    Eden Trail 39-41
    Sewer Trial 38-40

    Freakshow respec 34-43


    Redside has nothing except the respec in the 30-34 range, and only the respec and ITF in the 40-44 range


    Redside needs gaps filled far more urgently than a range where there are 2 options blueside (even if you (general not OP) don't especially like them)
  22. Dragonhand is Jack Virgo.

    Thanks for the amazing turnout everyone.
  23. QR:
    He was in the Vidoc posted today, so still very much part of the team
  24. Thug,

    thats why there will be a 2nd. give the West coasters a chance of getting on one
