There's only 1 player notes file per account: playernotes.txt

All toons on that account that add a player note add it to that file.

As for logs, you'll get a distinct log file for each day (by date).

In addition to what the others have said, also make sure your mail box isn't full.

In terms of attachments, I believe the limit is around 20 or so.

Thanks for the info guys/gals, much appreciated.

So far, I haven't seen any slow effect against anyone he's fought (CoT,
Hellions, Skulls, Arachnos, etc.).

However, it occurs to me, after mulling it over and reading responses, it may
be level-based perception. Right now, he's a lowbie (L24? or so), so perhaps,
it is a simple case of "a percentage of a low number might be less obvious
than the same percentage of a higher number).

ie. say movement speed is 10 at L20 - the 40% brings it to 6...
say movement speed is 30 at L30 - the 40% brings it to 18.

It might simply be harder to see (now) the difference between 6 & 10
vs. 18 & 30 a few levels down the road.

We'll see.

As Milady's_Knight mentions, the most effective use I've found for it so
far is to cast it around me. That has been helpful - slowing them? Not so much.

As for slots, my current plan calls for only 3. A bunch of my other powers
need 6 slots (for TStrike, Gaussian, and Mako) to cap ranged def - that
doesn't leave too many for RoF. As mentioned in the first note, the 3rd
slot will (eventually) get a Ragnarok KD Proc in it which should help it's
mitigation and scatter.

Thanks again, for your respones.

No, Victoria, this isn't about Incarnate / Reactive

I just recently got this on my L20 Fire/Nrg Blaster, and I'm having a *wth* moment?

In reading the description and detailed info, I see a -40% slow on mobs listed.

Unfortunately, when I cast it, I don't see any slow effect at all in actuality.
Mobs run in and out of it with complete impunity as far as I can see (apart
from that impressive 1 dmg / tick they're taking while in it).

Further, you can't actually improve the "slow" attritube since the only sets
it will take are TgtAoE (which don't have any slow enhancements).

So, what gives?

Is this just an error in the description, is it bugged, or am I missing something?

I'm planning to put a %Chance for Knockdown Ragnarok in it eventually,
but I'm starting to wonder if I should have skipped it and taken Fire Breath
instead (despite not liking cones particularly).

RoF is graphically appealing, and suits the character's concept better, but
I'm extremely underwhelmed with its apparent effectiveness so far.

Thoughts?

Nifty idea, that... (new to me, too)

I'm not a fashion-hound (most of my toons don't use all 4 regular costume slots
as it is), but for folks that like their costumes, this could be handy.

Thanks for mentioning it Fulmens.

On mine, I typically add a slot or two to Hide.

It serves as a handy place to slot a Kismet 6%, a Karma -KB,
or a LotG Recharge Speed (or all 3). YMMV.

One other point to add to the "win" scenario:

KB from directly above = Knockdown (in place).

This is a technique that I use on my Peacebringers (and other flying
KB toons) very effectively -- Hover Blasting ftw

Gracias.

The clickies, and Light Form, I knew about. The others were the ones I
needed to know... I'm assuming the fitness inherents (Health & Stamina)
carry over?

That's a shame about Maneuvers and Tactics though, the +def and +perc
would have been nice to have while hover-blasting from Nova... Oh well,
guess I can drop the Leadership pool in that case.


Once again, thanks for the update.

...since I spun up a new Kheld. Recently, my once-a-week teammate decided
to finally roll up a WS (an M'Fr version a la Dechs' guide), so I offered to start
another PB to tag along (sorry Dechs - I can't do the WS, I'm a PB guy)

Anyway, last time I ran one consistently, only certain click powers carried over into
forms. With all the new Issues since then, including inherent Fitness, etc. I wonder
what carries over these days?

Health, Stamina? How 'bout things like Maneuvers, Tactics, Set bonuses,
etc.? In short, a summary of the recent "rules" would be very helpful.

Well, a few thoughts here (in no particular order).

* We actually held the #1 spot for appx twice as long (~6 mo?) as it took us to
obtain it from scratch (~3 mo or so)... 0 to #1 in that time - Not too shabby.

* Given the first point, I think it's pretty clear that we could take it back
anytime we feel so-inclined.

* As for other servers, I'm dis-inclined, personally. Virtue served the purposes
that interested me. It was an amusing lark, it annoyed a drama-queen in another
group, it proved it could be done with nothing other than inf conversion, and
finally, I think it also clearly demonstrated that burning hundreds of billions of inf
still won't have any appreciable, measurable affect on market prices, or in-game
inflation (ie. The Fulmens Hypothesis ).

* Finally, Granny is a lvl 2 character on Virtue. She's never "arrested" anybody,
and isn't actually going to be played except for the 88's Virtue SG project.
While she is likely to burn more inf there (she inf-cinerated a couple hundred
million over the wkend), I'm highly doubtful about making other toons like her or
going to the time and effort to take over other servers.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying it can't be fun, but for me, "been there,
done that" - I'll leave the other servers to you guys

I'm in the /WP camp also.

My /Inv Brute is coming into the mid 40's and finally has enough defenses
to thrive - I'm sure it'll get better from here on out with that toon.

By contrast, my /WP brute's resistances and more importantly +regen were
in place early, and that made it much more playable (and beastly) from the
20's on up, and Incarnate makes it even better now.

Reviewing their careers, I find there's no situation (so far) where
I'd take my /Inv over my /WP. Perhaps that will change when the /Inv
hits 50 and gets into the Incarnate content, but I haven't seen signs
of it yet.

That's not to say /Inv isn't an excellent secondary, but for me, I prefer
the /WP Brute. YMMV

I'll check with Granny this weekend and see if she's sitting on any flammable inf.

Some funny, funny stuff in here.

I too, am a Von Grun fan.

But the ones that always make me laugh (I don't quite know why), are the
missions given out by The Radio. Not the missions themselves, mind you,
but the descriptions given by the Radio itself - All my villains have to run
those, and I still laugh that the Radio's "dialogue" every time...

Radio! Radio Free Opportunity!

Well, if you really prefer "set once and forget" toggles, go with /WP instead
of /Nin.

/Nin has lots of toys, and is fun to play, but it's a very active secondary.
Even your mez protection is a clicky.

/WP is also fun to play, but it's nearly all toggles. Turn 'em on when you
log in, and go to town... You won't touch them again unless you die.

Something to consider:

2 L15 Acc Common IO's would give you 38.4% improvement to Accuracy
which is on par with a +3 SO before you can even slot SO's and you can
get them about the time you'd historically get DO's...

2 L20's would put you over 51% improvement, and very probably softcap
your attack's Acc against most common PvE stuff in that level range.

Frankenslotted set IO's perform even better than these...

Personally, I haven't slotted a DO in a toon in years, and I can count on
1 hand (with fingers left over) the number of times I've slotted an SO over
that same timeframe.


That said, I'd also speculate that OP was fighting CoT. Spectral Demon Lords
can be quite the pita with their debuffs at that level, even with the better
slotting options I mentioned.

It greatly depends on the niche/item.

For common salvage, I always list at a flat price and take whatever I get.
For rare salvage (or "high ticket" salvage), I'll usually list at 75-80% of the
last 5 (moves a bit quicker that way, and still usually sells for Last 5 price).

For niches I've been active in for a long period of time (and know the
behavior patterns well - including certain set and common IOs), I tend
to maximize the RoI more.

For stuff I dabble in, I'll usually be happy with 50%+ over costs (including
fees).

For purples, I look at those individually, since fees can be a big hit to P & L
and pricing volatility can bite you in the @$$ if you're unlucky, or careless.

Woohoo! A #6 post!

I haven't seen too many of these lately. My faith in our player base is restored.

Oh, and there is an extremely simple solution when prices seem sky-high...



SELL!!!

Or put slightly more practically, produce those goods (in AE, Ouros, etc.)
and claim some of that opportunistic inf for yourself...

OR

... complain about rampant greed and broken markets on the forum -- All Good...


Happy Friday People!

I agree with JD Gumby.

For PvE only, Hide is enough. Any PvE foes that can see through Hide
will also see you even if you're fully capped for stealth.

Now, for PvP, it's a different kettle of fish.

You need 3 Stealth Powers to reach the Stealth cap - the common way
is through Hide, Stealth (pool), and a Stealth IO. At that point, you can
only be seen in 5 cases:

1: By High perception Widows (and Banes?) who have a higher perception
cap than all other AT's. IIRC that's in the neighborhood of 100-150 ft
or so..

2: By High perception players (capped) within 10 ft.

3: By somebody standing next to Police Drone(s). I'm not sure what that
distance is, but it's pretty far.

4: By anybody if Hide is broken (ie. thru an attack or from taking damage)

5: By anybody (for a brief moment) when you first get within game drawing
distance (ie. the point where the game adds you as an object to the
scene). In that case, you'll blip in for just a second, and then the game
will realize you're stealthed and you'll fade out quick.

So, for PvP, the short answer is take Stealth from the pool.

Now, since we're in the Stalker forum, I'm going to add that I also take
Invisibility. Why? Point number 4 above. If you attack somebody,
*everybody* else will jump in to gank you (that's pretty standard).

That damage will prevent Hide from activating. However, Invisibility is
unsuppressable, so at the point where you've decided to bug out, flip
Invisiblity on (note that it precludes Stealth - only one of the two can
be active at a time). if you're trying to escape, Invis will work when Hide
will not. You're still taking damage, of course, and you can't attack, so
it's purely defensive, but in PvP, it has saved me many times...

And, of course, if you're going to PvP, you'll definitely want Phase Shift
too (unless you enjoy dying a lot).

The key point is that PvP and PvE are *very* different, and consequently,
your power picks differ for each as well.
