Generalissimo

I was going to say Umbral Blast/Umbral Aura but then I thought about it a little more and figured if 1- 2% of characters created are Warshades then that can't possibly be the rarest. I dunno really, I don't play enough anymore to know.

Very good I just went back through some of your earlier posts too - excellent work!

Congrats on getting your proper name back

In light of next weekend being double xp weekend I think we should discuss the negative impact of double xp on those who don't like to level their characters (or has that been done already? ).

Any idea when we will get some details for this? How did the last one work? Wasn't around then....

They were timed heavyweight pentad matches - the team with the highest score at the end of the match won. The winners progressed down the winners bracket and the losers down the losers bracket. That way each team had at least two matches to fight in. There were knockout series on each server with all servers meeting at the end. Here's a link to a Defiant bracket progression thingy from near the end:

Good times

Edited to add: Oops, I forgot that there was a bantamweight (I think) series too in addition to the heavyweight one.

He probably won't be able to comment officially on the ISP involved. I'm on BT Ireland btw in case anyone wants to try joining the UK/International dots together themselves.

- Are they configured correctly? (talks about anti-virus or firewall software)
What am I supposed to answer to that?
Is anyone willing to have incorrectly configured anti-virus or firewall while knowing it?
Is it possible the answer at this question to be "no"?

I imagine they ask that to prompt people to check to make sure they haven't accidentally restricted the game's rights or that the program hasn't done it by itself.

- Are you doing anything in particular when you get disconnected, or are you doing nothing specific?
I am not disconnected, I am desyncing while zoning.
Are they sure that we are talking about the same incident?!

They're probably copying and pasting in generic sections and not re-reading them to make sure they're 100% accurate for this particular problem.

So far I'm happy with my support experience - it only took 10 minutes for a GM to bump me out of Pocket D when I got stuck there and they've been quick to escalate and respond.

Working as intended - it's an idea Castle's trying out.

I've had this bug quite bad for the past few days and am currently doing the information exchange dance with Support; hopefully it'll be resolved soon because at the moment I'm getting zero enjoyment from the game

lol, that's a classic The dialogue is very good, especially asking a regen to turn off their "prots" because he kept missing (curse that high defense in Integration! ) and him being squishy in dwarf form.

I thought Follow Up and Build Up couldn't both be picked in the one build?

Personally I never enjoyed Villain's too much until I embraced the SMASH! lifestyle with my SS Brute.

Same here.

That's a fairly tight looking build right there. Widows are leaving us spoiled for choice - I'm looking forward to playing one but I'm not looking forward to trying to build one.

Castle has hinted at a future change to Phase so it might be a good idea to hold off on respecs for the time being.

Link to his cryptic post

Confirmed as a last second US-time April fool's by BAB LINK.

On this map (LINK) you'll see the contact marked on Valor bridge with a star symbol with an R in it.

I'm not sure how you did it but congrats on your successful US invasion LINK

I'll pop along for a laugh if I get a couple more levels on my brute.

Excellent!

If I were you I'd take another look at why you're picking up Stamina at lvl 20 rather than Quick Recovery when Quick Recovery is the better power and picking Stamina requires you pick up two other powers first. If you weren't forcing yourself to pick up those two pre-requisite powers you'd have a lot more flexibility in your build pre-lvl 20. I haven't played /Willpower beyond lvl 6 yet but if I was levelling a MA/WP I'd probably go something like this:

1. Thunder Kick
1. High Pain Tolerance
2. Storm Kick
4. Mind Over Body
6. Travel Power Pre-requisite
8. Crane Kick
10. Indomitable Will
12. Focus Chi (or take Fast Healing if you want less down time rather than damage output)
14. Travel Power
16. Rise to the Challenge
18. Crippling Axe Kick
20. Quick Recovery

That would be my build for soloing as that's what I mostly do. I've no idea what your playstyle is like so that build might not suit you.

You look a little light on attacks at the start - lvl 22 is a long way to go with just 2 attacks (one of which does minor damage and one of which recharges in 10 seconds) and it won't be much fun getting to lvl 8 with just that minor damage attack.

All the more reason to petition him again if he genuinely upset you. If it was all just a load of PvP trash talk then let it slide and move on.

I just wanted to know, is it fair for me to be judged becuase of the SG i am in?

[/ QUOTE ]


Depends on the SG. It would be no excuse for harrassing you though. Did you petition the person?

[ QUOTE ]
Also, is that really true that Scrappers don't figure in high level team PvP? If it is, then why?

[/ QUOTE ]

Like I said the last time I brought my scrappers to a high level PvP competition (1 Vs 1, not team) - bringing a scrapper to one of those things is like bringing a spoon to a knife fight I tried my Spines/Inv scrapper at one of the test server team nights as well a fair while back and I felt equally useless then too - buffing and ranged characters were contributing more than me to the fight by several orders of magnitude (note: my inexperience with high level team PvP was a contributing factor too). Zonal PvP is the only time I've every felt that my scrapper was doing well enough to feel like others should fear him.

I doubt I'll be attending the raid but I'll be more than happy to help out with farming for EoE's if you organise a few sessions before the raid.
