Caulderone

I enjoyed the FW arcs for the most part. The story was adequate, except for leaving Katie imprisoned at the end (which I understand is a cliffhanger for future content).

The only thing I didn't appreciate was the freaking Awakened. One of the Lieutenants has a 40ft AoE buff that grants +40% to-hit.

Playing at elevated difficulty through the whole set of missions for the challenge, then needing to change said difficulty for one mob group every time you encounter them due to "Huge To-hit Buff for Everyone" is just annoying.

At least versus Devouring Earth you can destroy the To-Hit Buff of Cheating.

Woot! Thanks. I've been looking for one of these ever since I botched up the last one by cancelling to change my CC info.

Since I didn't get the email (I never do, boggle, I have the box checked), thanks!

There is a limit of 20 (I think it's 20) things stored in email. Any chance you are at the email storage cap?

It's cleared up. Looks like it was a mapserver issue and they restarted it.

It was only happening on Triumph, no other server I tried.

Anyway, problem is resolved.

I am currently unable to zone into a base or Ouro. Both hang the game and eventually I get a 'mapserver disconnected" message and have to force quit the game.

Characters zoning into Ouro are then shown as being in Ouro and cannot log in. Zoning into base (well, failing to) leaves the character where he was when he tried to zone in.

I have contacted support.

Anyone else on Triumph seeing this? (Characters on another server are unaffected and zoned to Ouro just fine.)

ps. Stupid forum keeps giving me timeouts/errors, too!

With older AMD drivers, you cannot run Ambient Occlusion and Anti-Aliasing at the same time without getting some oddities such as what you are describing.

Try turning of one or the other. I have to have AA, so I did without AO.

Also, I have a 5770 and have had no issues with driver 11.9 at all.

I'll add the counterpoint opinion to most of what I'm seeing here...

I don't care for the fog. It can go bye-bye and I'll not miss it. It makes using Teleport a massive pain in the rear end. It hides any style or beauty the zone might have (if it has any).

I won't be bothered if it does stay, but I'd actually be glad for it to be gone.

I've been taking my L50 Elec/DM through First Ward (at L29 obviously) on +2x4. I ran into these Awakened mobs and hit a brick wall. Here is there info at City of Data:

http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/power...p?cat=Awakened

I was trying to figure out what was giving me such a hard time. I have 50% Psi resistance and 17.6% Psi defense. I carry lots of medium Purple inspirations, and use them generously. That puts me at 43.85% Psi defense (and ranged/melee are both over 45% then, for any attacks so typed).

I'd still get toasted. So, I dropped down to +2x2 and got through the missions.

Now, I finally know what caused me the issues. It's a buff cast by one of the Lieutenants (Conduit) called Psychic Battery. Here's it's info on City of Data:

http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/power...sychic_Battery

Notice it has a damage buff (approx. +25%), but that's not the issue. It has +40% To-Hit. The AoE is 40 feet. It buffs everything in the spawn by +40% To-Hit, possibly even adjacent spawns. Oh, and in a decent sized spawn, you can have 2 Conduits.

There are also Confuse and Fear effects in the group, which is annoying but Break Frees work wonders (for those of us without fear/confuse protection).

So, if you have issues with these, remember that the Conduit(s) must die, die, die!

I solo like 99.9% of the time. I have done 4 Trials so far this year. I have done 3 task forces (for Notices) since August. I didn't enjoy them, though I think I did fairly well in them. They were, at best, tolerable for a limited time.

I very much look forward to a solo-able path through the Incarnate system.

However, having that content be solo-only is irrelevant to me. If it can be teamed, too, and others want to team through it, I don't care one tiny little bit. More power to 'em. I might even help someone once in a while who has trouble with some bit of it (I helped someone with Trapdoor the other day).

Solo-able content is all that I would/could ever ask for. Solo-only content means nothing extra to me at all.

Yeah, the build won't import properly, even copying the whole build and having Mids try.

Anyway, I can say that I have a build that got 20%+ to every category. This puts me 1 medium Purple off from softcap to each category. It works very well, since I can buy a stack of 10 med-purps for about 2k each. I keep 2 stacks bought on the market at all times (plus I have a base bin, too).

So, defensively, I think you'll be fine.

At a glance, your accuracy on SP and Smite are going to be awful versus +4s. The other attacks are a bit better, but probably wouldn't be good enough for me.

(edit: speeling)

You're making me want to watch Danny Devito's Renaissance Man again. I haven't watched it in ages. I love the Crispin speach in it.

Gah! I wasn't getting very much of this. Until now.

I went to Atlas to pay base rent, went back towards tram and got tons of it. Zoned into Talos, and had tons of it.

Annoying!

My Vet Rewards day was the 15th all summer long. I got 84-months on Aug. 15th. I got no Token in Sept., which we now know was expected.

I got no Token on Oct. 15th, and was told it would probably be Oct. 28th(ish).

Seeing folks here getting tokens in the last day or two makes me wonder what is going on.

I still don't have my Token.

That is an issue noted in the Known Issues post:
