  1. i read the comments available from all levels and ratings on sites like that. Lot of time, somethings I'm thinking about buying from a brick/mortar have about 20-30 reviews so I read them all. On some where there are thousands, a dozen or so from each rating that contains information, preferably detailed information, is read to get the just of it for me. But usually if I'm searching for something, I'm probably already 98% of time plan on buying it so the focus is more the information on the actual product in the case of the book, interesting plot points that may or may not be considered spoilers and not so much matter of taste.

    I wanted to reach out to you all to let you know that we're aware of your concerns regarding procs per minute versus IO static proc chances. In some situations the procs per minutes on store bought enhancements (SBEs) are superior to those in IOs. I've read through your feedback and understand your concerns. We have a course of action we'd like to take for Issue 24. The changes we're going with are:

    1) All IO procs will have their flat percentage chance to trigger updated to use Procs Per Minute.
    2) Proc chance will cap at 90%. This means that there is always a small chance for the proc to not trigger even if slotted into a power that would previously guarantee a proc.
    3) Procs Per Minute will use modified recharge instead of base recharge. The reason for this is that the whole idea of Procs Per Minute goes right out the window when we keep the base recharge even though that value can be dramatically altered.
    4) To compensate for this, the Procs Per Minute on all enhancements will be increased.

    The goals of this change would be to create a strong level of parity between IOs and Store Bought Enhancements (in fact they'll be identical proc wise) and reduce the impact that the initial implementation of the PPM mechanic had on gameplay. Your feedback is very important to us so I wanted to see how the community feels about these potential changes.

    I think it's important to stress that the overall impact to gameplay this will have on existing PPM enhancements will be small. That said players will notice a small performance hit at very high levels of recharge. The balancing point for the increased procs per minute rates will be based upon a reasonable level of recharge. That amount will likely change through beta testing. You'll all have a chance to play test this on the beta servers in the not so distant future.

    Best Regards,
    Phil "Synapse" Zeleski
    good stuff.

    I think this feels too soon as it's another British comedy zombie movie, is all. Compared to the HUGE amount of zombie films to come from other countries, I think us brits are allowed one more.

    Besides, this one looks excellent and with a different concept to it as well
    yeah i like comedy zombie british films, like shaun of the dead. good stuff.
    But thereare huge amounts of zombies movies that come out the wood works and not many for the British home fronts. But usually when they do produce a zombie movies, it's very good, unlike lot of the crap that is constantly rushed out with a destination of the discount bin.

    One tip that I got from these forums that I didn't realise in game (cause I don't do any research for myself) is to put Dull Pain up as much as possible. Regeneration works on percentage of total health so it actually increases you're regen as well.
    yea. but i use it when it's time to fight to cut down the time that the +hp and the regen that goes with it is sitting idle.

    not many that i know of. the is one other that wad made for tv, Dead set. Depending on personal definition of zombie at hand the 28 days/Weeks later may fit into that too. and one called Before Dawn.

    Weapons Platform

    Quote:

    Currently in game the only power set truly representative of the powered armor theme is the Arachnos crab spider. So I thought I would do a little brainstorming on a blast set to emulate using a suit full of different weapon systems. So far I have come up with 8 powers. I call the set weapons platform and I am looking forward to your ideas on how this might be improved.

    Now the one idea I have that may not be possible to implement is what I call drones. Basically these would be a swap ammo type toggle that would function as a pet. Unlike a normal pet however, they would be stationary just above and behind the characters head. Whenever you fire off a damaging attack the drone would supplement your attack with one of its own. I figure this might be accomplished by adding a debuff to the other attacks in the set that essentially tells the drone to fire on that target.

    Powers:

    Energy bolt: your standard tier 1 blast I was thinking a sort of eye beam with some -def

    Autocannon: This would be 3 shot burst of high caliber shells from each arm. The animation I imagined would be a bright muzzle flash and smoke enveloping the hands. The arms would also recoil with each shot.

    Mortar: basically a clone of the grenade powers already in game. Fires from your back/shoulder. Not very inspired I know but looking forward to better suggestions.

    Drones: As described above you summon a floating drone to supplement your attacks.
    Rocket drone: Whenever you fire off energy bolt, autocannon, or chest beam this drone will launch a salvo of explosive rockets that damage the target and cause splash damage to nearby targets. When you fire an AoE like mortar or salvo there is a small chance rocket drone will lock on to some of the targets and fire salvos into the group.
    Assault drone: This drone only attacks targets hit by a single target attack like energy bolt, autocannon, or chest beam. It will fire a continuous beam of energy burning into the target causing -def, -res, and doing damage over time. it will only attack 1 target at a time. If you attack another target it will cease fire on the first target and attack the new one. This will cancel the debuffs on the first target as well.
    Note: This drone will probably be the most difficult to implement and may not be possible at all so any more suggestions are appreciated.

    Salvo: This power launches a group of missiles into the air that will fly up and arc into the ground in the targeted area similar to bullet rain from dual pistols. The animation would be a cloud of smoke around your back/shoulders with missiles flying out.

    Force cage: The standard crowd control power. I was thinking a hold with a praetorian police detention field graphic.

    Chest beam: Just like it sounds this would be a massive beam or energy pulse fired from the chest. This is the tier 3 high damage blast attack. It could also be a narrow piercing AoE attack.

    ????????: I don't have an 8th power in mind open to all suggestions here.

    Armageddon: I had to force myself not to call this death blossom. This is the nuke, my idea for this one was a "MASSIVE omg where did all those come from!" missile "rain" with the missile impacts causing lots of knockdown with fire and lethal damage.
    That drone idea would make this set unique and probably a stand out.
  8. Played up to i18 and then put on ice.

    WP-good resistance on a stalker. Able to go toe to toe with most foes easily and come out on top.

    Claws- While not the most super burst damage attack set out there, it worked for me plus it fit the concept exactly that I had in mind at the time.



    1-50- The levels was pretty un eventful, going from mission to mission, contact to contact slashing down anything that happens to be in the path. While AS was picked up early, it is one of the powers that separated this stalker from my other ATs. AS one enemy (After build up became available, it was used mostly prior to the AS, after it was aquired and slotted the next level.), then fight the other enemies that are left over the good old fashioned way and then move on to the next group. Sometimes depending on how close the next group is, I may be hidden or may not be hidden. If hidden, AS was the opening attack. If not hidden, then any one of the attacks in the tray at the time was an opener and build up was used to buff those instead. There have been times where I only used AS once or twice per mission as I never waited until hidden status kicked in again nor had to slow down much to recover end. Every now and then a small blue would suffice. One thing the stalker WP set has the the other other WP doesnt have is the heal. It's relatively quick recharging and pretty good when things do get sticky. The only other thing I had bit trouble with was runners. Usually seen the backside of some mob headign for the hills about once every three or four groups and most of the time before I even hit an attack. But with claws, it has a good range (short range rather) attack that can do some knockdown to slow those pesky runners down (focus). I picked up all the claw powers except confront. Since I was solo, didnt need it. Favorite power out the set though was eviserate, which hasa very cool name and does some very good damage and it's a cone, meaning it can hit more than one target at a time. Shockwave is good too, a cone like eviserate, a little weaker but also short range and can also be good to catch those pesky runners. While I did take placate, I probably should of dropped it since as mentioned before, I didnt bother to wait to go into hide status again anyways and it only affects one target meaning the rest still attacked, rendering it kind of useless for my use and playstyle if I did want to go into hide status quick and pop off AS. Build up, became available at level 8 and picked up at level 8. It was good stuff for me, makes things die a lot quicker especially when used with Eviserate, slash, and other powers.
    Hide was automatic so no choice in that matter but hey it's a stalker. Reconstruct, high pain tolerance was also taken as soon as possible. Picked up Mind over Body at ten but held off on using it until DOs became available. And picked up Indomit. will eventually when I started to encounter more mezzers more frequently. Skipped Heightened senses and started to work on the fighting pool in it's place for tough. Fast healing was taken while Resurgence was skipped. Took SoW but only use it every now and then but those times I glad I took it. It gives good resistance buff and doesn crash hard. In fact I hardly noticed when it crashed half the time as far as endurance was concerned. Had to remind myself sometimes that it crashed after noticing my end bar a little less than half way, but a small blue and no slow downs.
    Patron powers-Took Captain Mako's Leviathan set. In it was water spout, and hibernate are the ones I took. Hibernate is cool but it kind of took the place of SoW and dont see much use but it's good to have when I needed it. Water Spout, I didnt expect too much out of this power but it was surprisingly good for my needs. It has fear, disorient, knockback, minor damage basically the works.

    Never tried this one in iTrials as it was built before incarnate stuff came out and already on ice by the time incarnate went live. Nor have I played since the new changes but I heard the changes was good. ANd withthis claws/wp aready being as good as it is, then the changes may make it one of the most awesome builds in my stable. One day I may take it off ice and send it to DA but I dont forsee any issues with the mob there. ANother day in the office for it.

    Minion design

I think it would be nice if you could design your own group, and perhaps have a use for them. I realize that in the new Signature Story Arc this seems to be the goal, but I am just curious on what people might think.
    sounds like a solid idea. a little polish, a way to implement it, it could be ready to go.
    Yeah redside, love the content but I thought ya was suppose to be making a super villain. Feels more like a mere cog of the arachnos associate that basically is a one man/woman or MM, clean up crew hired to take out everyone's garbage.
    AE is a place where you can design your own group, but it's noncanon to the game, more like a side game, doesnt progress the story line of the overall game and is about fun as writing your own book and going to read it again. The suspense factor is gone.
    Would be nice to be able design a villain group, even a small one that is at least larger than a MM standard fare and design one whether you are MM or not, and have it out wreaking havoc or affecting the storylines or actually a part of the main game. I mean what kindo f super villains dont inspire to run their own empire or take over one? What we go to "alternate" universe and show Recluse a mask and nothing changes. He runs arachnos still and the player still doing the clean up crew thing.

    Very good build there, Vysires.
    Never can have too much regen, until it caps out of course but then still want more.
  13. some of these ideas could work.

    Yeah birds out of all things seems to be a good nasty power set. I enjoy the bird attack more than the wolf attacks. But the wolves attack well enough.

    yeah cant wait until they are tradeable or something. They just sitting there collecting dust. Dont think I can delete them. Unless it wasa bug, there was no delete option last time I tried.

    oh god not another DD movie. But on the other hand, marvel movies have been good lately and maybe they can do same for DD and kind of diminish the memory of the first, I guess it can be called an attempt. It kind of worked for the Hulk when they remade it again.

    I aint speaking for anyone and not putting words in anyone mouths but judging from the few harassers that follow me from post to post to derail the topic and say my experience is wrong or is discounted because it didnt match their experience, I'm just making sure I'm extra clear on that this is my experience and no one elses. I dont speak for anyone no one but myself.


    But yeah 32, it's down hill from there. the levels will go by fast.

    Yea been eyeballing that fear power. looks like very good stuff and good mezz for mobs that take more than one shot of fear to kick in with the new fear thing that goes with AS.

    Aint seen nor heard about it until now and the previews is good. But like I do with most movies of these days, I'll wait and see. Too many now movies with awesome previews and then in the movie the only action is from the previews and about 1.5 hours of fluff.

    Is this an actual original idea or a remake, sequel, based off book/comic/graphic novel thing? If it is I kind of want to go check out the past media. If not, looks like a refreshing idea and concept.
