Quote:Rephrased thread:
Is the event enough to hold customer attention from other pursuits which may or may not include activities that take place far, far away from here?
Should they have released more of the incarnate slots to keep people from potentially wandering over to the dark side?
Discuss. ::waves hand::
IMO yes, NOTHING will convince the majority of players who are going to try out that game from not doing so. Now what they can do is plan stuff to get their attention/numbers back here within a month or two once the hype of that game dies down.
i22 is a safe bet to [at least] be in beta feb for VIPs and with the hype dying down for that other game, a lot of our players who left to check it out will want to come back to test out one of the many new powersets, the solo incarnate path and all the awesome that would be in i22. The salute to statesman during this period is to make sure revenue doesnt suffer as greatly as it would. -

Quote:The godly power to suck?
Seriously, are we back to old Vigilance again?
They should just have changed that power to -endcost/+rech imo, also bring back the option of the old blaster defiance
[Goes back to topic]
From what we can all see ingame, every incarnated/demi-god character has one defining power that seperates them from everybody else.
What i would like for mine is the option of these powers.
- Invuln - Make it so that at the bottom of the tree the resistance/recharge levels of this power is quite low [say in the 10% resis to all margin]. As you scale up the tree you get the options of different resistance levels and different recharge levels. So while one side might focus more on the resistance effectiveness, the other side will focus more on the recharge.
- Stealth - I call this stealth but more of a Placate feel to it. Casting this at the bottom of the tree makes you cant be targetted by other npc minions for X amount of time. As you scale up the tree you can increase the number of foes it affects on one side, while the other side it increases the rank of enemies effected but keeps the target number low.
- Regeneration - Large bursts of regeneration [not actual healing but regen] over a scale of time. Simple one this one, one side of the tree focuses on the regen values while other side more on the recharge of the power.
- Leadership - Since pets are covered [imo] with lore we need good leadership. These buffs should affect everybody but yourself within X radius. One side of the tree should focus on damage/recovery, other side should focus on resis/rech. [You could more than likely get better combo's than those but using them as an example]

- So many servers
- Different server lists at launch
- Different forums at launch
- i13 PvP changes
- The way they handled ED
- i15
- The time right after AE launched that there was multiple downtimes almost constantly to nerf it.

Quote:This is basically all i ever want in a game. As a scrapper im literally toe to toe with X villain and while i want to win, i want it to feel like its an epic fight.
Really, my experience is people don't want challenges, they want to smash buttons and win, while looking good doing it
I like the feeling that while yes they are stronger [in some way] than myself, that there is that small feeling that there is a possibility i could defeat him/her!
In terms of just general gameplay, its also the reason i push the amount of enemies per spawn up. Its not so i can get more drops [well that counts into too ok] but that whenever i jump into a mission i do feel like im charging through their base as some superpowered god where my goal/real challenge lies too at the back.
Take for example the ouroboros TF that involves the 5th column. That final mission [to myself] is one of the best feelings i have ingame to play in. The whole final room full of enemies waiting to use sheer numbers to defeat you has a great feeling. Since they are weakened versions and they do die in 2/3 hits, it has a feeling of that you CAN and will die if you dont pay attention but also that you can defeat them all.
I'll admit that first time i saw that amount of mobs i had to face i doubted myself, but now i see it as one huge defining moment in my characters story. The moment where they prove to the world that they are the real deal. -
Best of luck in the future Av!
You really were one of the best reps we've had on this game! Please do pop in from time to time!

Quote:......Because Statesman biting it isn't the real plot twist in the SSA arc.
And it doesn't mean he is the ONLY one who will die.
There's a bazillion and one things they can do with this storyline that makes Statesman's death completely irrelevant.
So far, if you include the now revealed 5th arc, we'll have 3 deaths. Just curious as well how they play out Malaise death in all this. -
Quote:The red names apparently don't view it as a huge spoiler. Ergo, it is not a huge spoiler. Just sayin'.
A lot of people aint read that announcement thread because they want to find out in the arc as it happensThey at least didnt put it in their title, people just asking that its not put in the title of threads ASSUMING everybody has either A) Read it and found out or B) Dont really care about the story.
Ergo, imo and quite a lot of others, its still a spoiler -
I was half expecting a thread with them just going "well . . . . you know" about it

Quote:Once his personality was brought to light I never really cared for him, he treats his entire team like crap, is more than willing to shout at them for any mistake, screamed at his granddaughter at her mother's funeral saying it was her fault, keeps secrets from everyone even though he knows that they could destroy all of existence, then when it obvious someone is plotting against them combined with aliens falling from the sky and a psychotic dimension trying to invade he flies off to nowhere to sulk leaving his entire team at the mercy of Malaise and Wade. The only death I'll respect him for is if he decides to finally stop putting up with Recluse's **** and storms grandville solo killing 3/4ths of the entire arachnos organization before he finally goes down. If Wade offs him without a fight while he's whimpering somewhere talking about how no one understands him he'll die the way he lived. A total embarassment to heroes.
I would actually have some respect for him if he went on a nuts rampage on the isle looking for himWould finally show he has some character!

Firstly . . . . . bad form at the title!
There are global channels ingame where people are said NOT to spoil anything and people dont want to visit the forums at the moment for the huge spoiler and titles like this is the reason why!
If you read the article spoiling it, fine thats good. Dont assume everybody else wanted to read it though!
*coughs* Anyway . . . . .
I dont mind that he's going to die, the way he acted in the incarnate initiation arc proves that he has zero trust in anybody and he refuses to let people get the power which he has or maybe even stronger.
Anybody who says they're the only ones who can be trusted with such power, needs to be smashed! -

Awarding of Paragon Points and Tokens : Lineage II just went Free to Play...(so our Billing Team may have been distracted).
BAD FORM!Them taking our forum maint is one thing, them taking our ingame rewards for giving you money? Oh come on!

Quote:Aye bad form to be honest, first Winter Trial i led last night half our league [including me] DC'd from the server and lost our rewards [iirc was roughly 28 of us].Known?
As in you guys knew it was an issue before release?
Because it would have been nice to clue the players in before we leagued up to do this for Tanker Tuesday..... just sayin'
Also....
When we entered the WLT as a league, several members of the league were dropped.
This happened twice in a row.
.
Being told to leave quickly but we all crashed the instant we killed the WL and the rewards popped up. No exit trial button was available. -
I want Ultimus back in this thread to say he knew it was states all along!
-
Heroes get to fill in his place? So does that mean we get more stories of us being the best around?
-
But Ultimus said babs was gonna die!

Do love the player made adverts
Edit:
Heh i always thought TPN stood for Total Praetoria News, makes more sense the boards way -
While parts of the UK has had some snow throughout the week, myself in S.Wales just had their first taste of winter!
30 minutes of non stop, heavy hitting, giant marbles, white rocks of doom that is hail!
Went to my local shop and saw all their bread sold out! Got to love our winter frame of mind here in the UK! First sign of winter and stock up on bread!
Happy Winter! xD -
Quote:What the crap. THAT'S your secret evidence? I think you SERIOUSLY overestimate the amount of "everyone hates Jack Emmert" going on in the world.
Paragon Studios is doing this for a lot of reasons, but a made up, sad, petty grudge-match is NOT one of them.
Would be such a "lol" moment though if they did -
Quote:He features in the new tutorial, and Arachnos has quite a big part in the new Atlas content and in some of the ongoing trianing missions.
Thats all well and good but say a new player is shown this massive evil organisation, where else are they going to encounter them blue side apart from low level missions? -
Quote:I believe I read at one point that data mining shows most people aren't playing the trial content.
But with that i can again say that at one point on Union last night there was a MoM, a BaF and an UG trial all running at the same time.
This was while Union seemed pretty quiet last night too, i dont know maybe some servers have totally different experiences from my own in that it really is almost impossible to get a trial together, im just speaking from my own experience that Union [top 5 population wise? Maybe? I dont know!] has quite a large percentage of people who like trials. -
I like the trials, while one of the trials i aint a huge fan of i do still love the majority of them.
Will i continue to run trials when the solo content is released? Yes of course i will, why? Because i like to team with others and have a good time. To me, its fun
Now the trials do indeed hurt certain powersets a LOT more than others, they dont hurt certain ATs but certain powersets. My regen or willpower brute/scrapper can't last more than a few seconds in a trial due to their -regen powers, however my stj/nrg scrapper? Well he owns trials now! He is my ONLY character in which i feel like i can take on a mob within a trial and defeat them with ease.
For example on the keyes trial, my scrapper will now go to the different levels and clear them of the mobs to make it easier for people to use their powercells.
I just ran my first ever MoM trial last night and though it took me a few minutes to understand all the mechanics of it inside, i do love it! The purple clouds in the first mission? Surely as a scrapper i should moan nonstop about them right since i cant get in close enough?
Nope! That is what the APPs were for [imo], to add a different something to your powers that werent available in your primary/secondary. While the clouds are up i just attack from range nonstop until they go away and i can do some serious damage again.
Some people do have genuine concerns about the trials from a neutral standpoint, however everytime a new trial comes out i am seeing X amount of the same people complaining about each trial that they hate it and that it should be changed because majority of people dont like trials. I say majority dont like trials because thats what most of their posts do sound like, that people dont like trials.
For example the OP of this thread did give off a clear vibe that trials are disliked by a large majority of the playerbase, this couldnt be further from the truth. Majority of people do like the trials otherwise there wouldnt be so many run so often on a daily basis.
Only speaking for myself obviously, but whenever i read a thread where the OP states something like that, then the whole post loses a lot of weight in my eyes. Simply because its gone from a balanced and well thought out post on how to improve a trial for the majority to being a very biased view focusing purely on the negative sides of the trial.
There are a few things in this game which are hardly run and they are the ones that should have threads about asking people what would they do to improve them to make them more popular/run more. ITrials are almost at the point in which there are a different trial suited to each persons needs [imo].
What we should be asking ourselves now though is how do we improve/make more popular
- Hami Raids
- The original sewer trial
- Hollows Trial
- Eden
- Shadow Shard TFs [obviously this gets brought up a LOT]
- Respec Taskforces
/endrantandgetspreparedtobeburned
Edit:
Quote:This can be true though for majority of Taskforces/Trials in the game already, a good leader of a trial [especially an incarnate one] should never start a trial without first making sure everybody knows what they're doing. From my own personal experience i can say that we have VERY good leaders of iTrials on Union [people like kisana/sophia etc] who lead them very often and always makes sure the entire league knows what to do and when.So my experience with ITrials is extremely limited. I've done BAF about half a dozen times, and in my experience, it's largely a roving mob. I've done one Lambda, which was successful, but I wasn't sure exactly what it is we were doing at the time, and nobody really felt the need to explain it. I figured it out mostly by watching what other people were doing
Sadly i think your experiences have come down to bad luck with a not very vocal league making sure everybody knows what needs to be doneI know some people dont want to be the "only one who doesnt know" , but like my experience on my first MoM yesterday, i run by the rule that if one person doesnt know it then there are another 3 who dont too. True enough, more people said they hadnt done it either.
Edit2 [woot for edit!]
Just to add that i know some people are really against the idea of trials/content that can only be used by gathering large teams, those people i think are right and do need the solo content, im just against the idea of people saying that X needs to be changed in some form then when something different comes out saying that they still dont like it and carries on for quite a while [like all the trials we've had so far].
[This post totally made sense to me when i typed it but reading it back . . . not so much! Ah well!]

Quote:Plus, she'd probably get a new suit. (Seriously, she could use a redesigned costume regardless.) And she's probably the first "big hero" face we see in-game when we hit Atlas.
How cool would it be to be welcomed to Atlas by a newly redesigned Ms. Liberty who was now a part of the premier hero group in-game? I'd even go so far as to say she'd need a new name if she was going to get this sort of promotion.
I really like her costume
