Quote:The only thing in Eden is the Woodsman. And actually, that's more than Creys, DA, Boomtown and the old Faultline had.Originally Posted by dugfromthearth
I've done Eden TF once. Is there anything else to do in Eden - any zone contacts?
You could try the Vanguard arcs, but I find those only last two or three levels (unless you solo at x6 or something like that).
...Yeah, there's not much post 40 for heroes (way to much emphasis on AVs and annoying super long duration stuns). -
Quote:Not likely to happen. Once upon a time (Prior to I6 IIRC), Nukes (other than Blizzard) carried a -60% Endurance crash per target - It's now 100%. They also had -100% recovery - it's now -1000%. The devs felt that the penalties were too lenient since the nukes were being used to power level people (a tanker would herd the entire map, and a blaster would stand ready to destroy them all at once) - of course, they also introduced target caps/aggro caps in i5, so Nukes weren't even being used for that by the time the "fixes" were put in.Originally Posted by Blood Red Arachnid
I would definitely change the nuke powers on most blaster so that instead of a -1000% recovery they would get a -100% recovery, and -50% endurance instead of -100%. Then blasters can keep their toggles up and actually do some minor stuff instead of being completely useless for 20 seconds.
Personally I'd remove all end crashes from the nukes (keep the -recovery) and tone down the damage slightly. I skipped Dreadful Wail on my Defender (had fallout) and I'm currently considering dropping Inferno on my Blaster since most of the time it's either overkill (the team is steamrolling) or useless (I'll die by the time it activates). -
Quote:First of all, 800 meters of perception is... Just under half a mile, and 200m of range is 656 feet. At that rate, they would shoot you from more than THREE TIMES THE DRAW DISTANCE.Originally Posted by MajorDecoy
Okay, I've decided what the most annoying enemy would be. It doesn't have to be a whole group, just one enemy type:
A sniper class, with 800 meters of perception and an immobilize/-speed/-jump/-fly/-regen on a pretty quick recharge and 200 meters of range.
That's it. It has no other attacks, and the aforementioned attack does something like 20 toxic damage over a minute. It probably can't kill you, but stick two or three of those in Peregrine and Grandville, and you'd hear the curses.
Second, don't forget Superior Invisibility. -

Quote:This was changed in i21 so the Anti-Matter pulse wouldn't leave VEATs and Stalkers high and dry constantly (I guess this means I need to respec into Super Speed on my stalker. To Mids!).Originally Posted by Heavenly Perverse
the DoT from the spore infestation will not bring a stalker out of a hidden state and does not interrupt Assassin's Strike, however if you get npc aggro you'll have to wait a few moments to go back into a hidden state or you will set off the timer.

Beam Rifle
- Disintegrate should animate faster, and have a secondary effect (either spread, damage or debuff) if applied to a disintegrating target.
- Piercing Ray (Not sure if that's the name, its the T8 cone) should have a disintegration spread chance and a higher target cap (it's practically single target anyways).
Might amend this later. -
Quote:Take another look at the newspaper missions - the Speakeasy and Bank Robbery missions are both available as regular missions (In St. Martial and Grandville, there are even Arachnos Guards posted).Originally Posted by Shadow_Kitty
One is initiated by Mongoose, the others are initiated by the contacts that you just had to do five "someone else thought of it first" missions for.

Quote:What about robbing the speakeasy in Port Oakes/Cap Au Diable and standard bank robberies after Mayhems were introduced?Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
That's exactly what I'm saying. Can you explain to me how such actions are not reactive? 'Villain X from Villain Group Y has done Z. You should go beat up Villain X and do Z instead.' 'Villain A from Villain Group B has stolen C. You should beat up Villain A and steal C for yourself.' 'Villain M from Villain Group N has kidnapped O. You should beat up Villain M and kidnap O instead.'
At no point in newspaper missions or arcs does a player character ever do actual, "thought of it first" villainy. We're either told what to do (until playing the SSA's) or we piggyback off of the ideas of other villains. It doesn't help that none of the co-op zones/stories have a villain plot that redside characters could run 'behind the scenes.' -
Quote:That, or Programmers could simply start mapping the human brain to create an AI that thinks like we do. Which is what they've been doing for some time now.Originally Posted by Mad_Scientist_JC
Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku had some insight on what roadblocks AI is hitting and how unlikely it'd be that we see anything too advanced in the foreseeable future. Very interesting read, and Physics of Superheroes is also another fun one. We can't say never though, maybe machines will get smarter and we'll just get dumber to bridge the gap, lol.

Yes - an MMO can't replace a human DM for thinkng on the fly and altering stories to match what players want to do.

I hate the new tutorial because it's actually faster to get to level 2 by street sweeping now (unless I'm playing the tutorial with about 5 other people).

I stopped reading once I saw you put the two endurance tests at the top. :/

You do realize that the goodguys never win, right? I mean, the world never really gets purged of evil, and there's always a new evil plot around the corner.
There's never a happy ending. Get used to it. -

One last footnote ... it delivers an actual +10% end. So +10 End if you have a total Endurance of 100. Or in the case of my scrapper who has 111.80 End (per Combat Attributes) gains 11.18 end with each tic (per "Healing Delivered" channel).

Didn't read past the OP.
Wade made a power grab and played me for a chump - I'm willing to work with the heroes if it means I can get revenge. -

Quote:...Hmm. I tried putting the proc into AS and it was putting me into hide every time, and I was following up by Concentrated Strike'ing to pop Build Up. Repeat every 10 seconds as needed for perma Build Up.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
And for the record, Stalkers are getting shafted again. How? They are getting changed to be able to use Assassin Strike as a Superior damage regular attack when not in Hide, and their ATO will put them in Hide when it procs. So, you'll run through your attack chain and instead of the fast Superior AS you thought you were going to use, the proc fires and you get the 4 second interruptible AS instead.

Quote:Worth noting that a level 50 Performance Shifter proc will work even when you are exemped to level 1 - A level 21 can simply be slotted at level 18, as opposed to a level 50 being slotted at 47.Originally Posted by Wing_Leader
According to Mids, the +End proc delivers, on average, more End recovery than a lvl 50 EndMod IO. And as a bonus, it still delivers its End bump even when recovery is debuffed. Plus, since the level of the +End proc IO is irrelevant, you can (and should) slot a lvl 21 version of it (the lowest level of it that exists), making its effects useful to a greater degree at lower levels than the lvl 50 EndMods.

Quote:That's the main reason I rolled my only level 50 Defender as a Rad/Sonic - The solo damage is great against single, hard targets (I've soloed Adamastor with little difficulty, and I'll be trying it next issue too).Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
I'm getting close to the same dislike of Defenders and Corruptors. They just don't do enough damage for me, and being able to debuff or buff isn't an obvious enough bonus to me for playing them.

Last I checked the Synthetic Membrane Hami-Os -- which afaik are *exactly the same* as Membranes -- had fallen to just under 12M each on the market. For some reason the Synthetic Hami-Os always are cheaper. I never understand that.
