Grey Pilgrim

Forgot my /em joke part, too. I was teasing. You and MP are taking me too srs bsns lately.

But I still liked having my cheaper sleep and confuse sets. Only ones I could really afford, hehe. Hopefully this means I'll get some other types soon.

Yes, but the actual news is how this going to drive already high purple prices even higher. Yay. /em sarcastic thumbs up

I find it kind of interesting that they are okay with this, but not changing all IOs into the auto level shift ones. This is potentially quite powerful as well.

I dunno, I guess I would say that they should be setting up more of the current trials to be on the level of BAF, etc. I do like that some are more difficult, taking all the powers we can have into account, I just want them to add on to BAF and Lambda.

Even more so, I'd like to see TFs and missions for incarnates. Huge raids have never really been my thing, and I love TFs. Apex and Tin Mage are awesomesauce, so it'd be great to see more there. TFs also kind of allow for more story than Trials do, or at least more naturally.

And yeah... I don't bother doing Trials until I have a level shift form the Alpha. Makes a huge difference, and using a trial for the alpha just seems like a waste: you already have to run enough already with the other 4 powers.

I like Keyes now that they have adjusted it. The only thing I disliked about it was the auto damage being so high. I still think damage that ignores resists entirely is a bad design decision (a melee character's ability to resist it is more than balanced by their probably having many mobs hitting them), but I can live with that. Going to try to run some the next couple times I'm on, if there is interest.

I dislike UGT for its anti-confuse requirement. Reason Lambda and BAF are nice is that they don't require you to build your team precisely, which is kind of a time-honored CoH thing.

I'll give the new trials a shot, I just hate the auto damage/auto death gimmicks I see happening in them. See the above complaint: it's negating components of the game that work everywhere else.

I think I mostly would like some other trials to play that don't PRACTICALLY require you having most, if not all, of your incarnate powers unlocked. My Fire/Fire Dom has been stuck running Lams and BAFs while he gets his Rebirth unlocked and slotted, as he doesn't have a heal for Keyes, otherwise. He could help some on a UGT, but not against the most annoying stuff, and even then, he only has his alpha level shift. The devs have seen fit to up the level of some mobs in that one, suggesting that you're supposed to have most, if not all of your level shifts there as well.

I'm not saying some characters can't do it, but rather than adding on to our trial options, the devs are mostly upping the difficulty and adding another tier of trials beyond BAF and Lambda. I would rather see that be applied to new trials that start unlocking the new powers we're going to be getting eventually.

In essence the "lack of diversity of trials being run" issue that they see is of their own doing.

I'd say you're trying if you're using the xp boost if you're not behind, but... whatever you want to call it. Hit 37 myself and started in the high 35s after some TFs over the break and had XP turned off.

Eh, no worries. It's a game. Have fun with it!

MP offered me 25 million per player on my Synapse team last night if she could just come in during the last mission and finish it up with us, so much does she hate that TF. I should have made her do it... our 8th disappeared after the first mission and never returned.

Who are you and what have you done with Masque? You're acting too nice...

Woah... what's the source on the extra pack for more weapon options? Can't see it in the dev digest anywhere... at least not in the two pages worth of Noble Savage comments I can see. Yikes.

That's pretty poor, though, I have to say. I'm rather disappointed they didn't fit in at least a weapon or two with the Barbarian set, since these two were so close in release time. I'm okay with a weapon or two being in a set, but that many in one pack is too much of a money grub.

Uh-oh. Them's fightin' words!



See you all in a few.

What video were you watching? The Titan Weapons animations are pretty dang massive, and do lots of KD that makes it look like you are making a big dent (and the damage numbers are good as well). It has a lot of AOE, so you should be able to increase the number of enemies you need pretty well and take care of them easily.

My only beef with the set is the windup (well, and I'm not partial to the tier 9 animation, but the rest are awesome). It makes sense and it's a unique mechanic, but it doesn't match up with my playstyle as much. Keep in mind that you don't have slow windups much of the time, since you can chain about three attacks with Momentum going, and the set's build up power lets you earn Momentum just by activating it.

If you like the idea of the set, you'll probably like it.

True enough. I do like having new armor sets, even if sets like that aren't quite as flashy as attack sets. I'm at least going to give SR a spin for Tanks when the Staff set goes live, but I'm kind of out of armor sets that I want to try... leveling my StJ/EA brute right now.

Willpower went pretty well with Titan Weapons, but I'm not sure I want to use the set again or not.

It'd be nice if they gave Assault Rifle that model... we do have a mini gun temp in game, after all. Still, I think the Assault Rifle set is the closest you are going to get to this. For power armor, that's the great thing about CoH... you can make your costume look like it and have your power armor do whatever you want it to.

Just played some... other game's beta, and it's not nearly so customizable.
