GATE-keeper

Ok, now that Brutes and Tanks are both allowed in the same missions...


How about someone roll up identical Tank and Brute. Same powersets (ie: Inv/SS and SS/Inv.) Both 50. Same slotting. Same enhancements. Put each one thru the exact same mission, solo. Equivalent PPPP and SRSLY.

Post the times.

Who wins?

/e raises hand

“Star Wars” opened with a title sequence that announced it as “Episode IV” as a winking nod to the old serials, not a film franchise underway, Kurtz said.

No, it didn't.

wtf?

Okay, correct me if I misunderstand this: Villains will be able to get access to both APP's and PPP's. But Heroes will only be able to access APP's.

(Because, in order to get access to PPP's you have to get the appropriate badge, which you can only get by becoming a villain.)

Obviously some strange, new definition of "parity" that I've been previously unaware of.

Yeah, what I meant was kinda what Father Xmas just said.

The things you can use Vanguard Merits to buy are not purchaseable with Inf.

The things you use Prestige to buy are not purchaseable with Inf.

There is also a lot of mid-level recipes/IO's that are technically purchaseable on the market, but with no supply there (ie, Freebird Stealth) they aren't really purchaseable with Inf. (Although you can get them with Reward Merits or take a chance to get them with skeeball random rolls. Unless you're too high of a level.)

It shouldn't be that way. Everything should be purchaseable with Inf. Regardless of my level.

Or maybe a better solution would be: let the player choose which currency type he gets while adventuring. Sorta like Dev Choice AE arcs. You get the choice of earning skeeball tickets or earning normal inf/recipes/enhancement/salvage drops. Only let players do that everywhere. If you want to turn off Inf and just earn merits, do so.

Now that the markets are going to be merged, can we please merge the currencies? Do we really need 6 different ways to buy things? Why can't everything be purchaseable with Inf?

As far as Hami raids...we had a couple about 6 months (?) or so ago. None since then; although Cremzen did start setting one up back in April, but then Castle broked the mitos so it never got off the ground.

Very good. But I do have a question: You said 10 days. Does that mean you did one hour of AE every day, then 86 minutes of crafting/marketeering every day for 10 days?

Or did you do one hour of AE once, then 86 minutes of crafting/marketeering once, then spend 10 days selling the items? <- This is what it sounds like you're saying, and if so...wow.

I'll bring Normanticore, 25 Claws/Regen.

You might be better off breaking this into two different threads, one entitled "Ice/EnM build advice" and the other entitled "WP/SS build advice". That way people who have those builds might be more likely to read the thread.

Also, are these going to remain PvP builds or do you want to re-engineer? If re-engineering, where are you headed? PvE build? Farming build? Solo build?

Hm, looks like the team is full, but I'll bring Normanticore (23 Claws/Regen, like you need another Claws scrapper ) and just stand around in case there's a cancellation.

tl;dr - does a toon have to be in the mission map when the AV is defeated to get credit towards the Dimensional Warder badge?

It was me (tank) and two controllers, doing the "Defeat Seige" mission. Our strategy up until that point was run to the end of map, defeat AV, click glowies, then move on to next mish.

It was my fault entirely: I had forgotten that Nightstar is usually hanging around the map entrance. I ran right by her, found Seige, did Assemble the Team (right when one of the trollers - who were still by the mish entrance said "Hey, there's Nightstar..."), we defeated Seige, clicked the glowies and got the Mish Complete message and the Blue Exit button.

We knew we still needed to take out Nightstar, so instead of leaving the mish we all ran back to entrance to take her out.

Again, it was entirely my fault: a tank running thru mobs attracts a lot of attention and by the time I arrived at mish entrance, we had a lot of company. Team wipe.

Luckily, most of the aggroed mobs wandered away back to their spawn point after a few minutes. But Nightstar and a few minions were still hanging around watching the three of us eating the floor. After popping all of our wakees and getting planted again and again, one of the trollers "hosped" out and - since the mish was complete (defeating Nightstar is not needed for mish completion) was unable to get back into the mish.

Finally, I converted all of my remaining Insps into about three wakees and started popping them. Each time I rezzed, Nightstar killed me, but her knockback pushed me further and further from her spawn point until finally I was able to rez outside of her aggro range. I then pounded her into submission (and enjoyed every minute of it, I may add).

But my question is, did the troller who left the mish after it was complete but before Nightstar was defeated get credit towards the Dimensional Warder badge when she (the troller) was not on the mish map when Nightstar was defeated? The troller did say she did not get XP or Inf when I defeated Nightstar.

Keep getting the "cannot display the webpage" message...

If there's room, I'll bring GATE-keeper (50 Inv/SS tank)
