  1. NcSoft should just sell Paragon Studios instead of straight up shutting them down. Cryptic was in a similar position until Perfect World purchased them. I'd rather see new owners than this game die.

You could probably accurately predict when the shutdown would come just by calculating how many months it would take for the amount of money made by a subscription to pass that of a "lifetime" subscriber.
    Not against paying a sub, been doing for all these years. No plans on stopping now lol

    Gonna assume that was sarcasm, but I'll clarify. One time payment to be VIP forever.
  4. I'm curious if Lifetime accounts will become an option and if discounts will appear based on earned veteran time?

    You can try if you want, but get some software to monitor CPU temps. Burning out your new notebook would REALLY suck.
    It's an Asus G50vt X1, it came with its own CPU overclocking software. I was able to safely overclock the P8400 for nearly 2 years, just making sure the P8600 doesn't push the system too far. It has a heatsink and thermal silver 5, idle temps of both cores are 40c. Tried calling Asus, but, they don't have data about modding systems.
  6. My old CPU recently died and I was originally gonna purchase the exact same one. But one slightly better cost just a bit more. I've since installed the cpu and have a question, is it safe to overclock? I've searched the interwebz, but, learned a long time ago we've got some of the most tech savvy people playing this game.

    The computer is an Asus G50vt-X1 BestBuy version.
    The dead CPU was an Intel Core 2 duo P8400 (dead)
    The new CPU is an Intel Core 2 duo P8600

    The computer came with an overclock feature, just unsure if its safe to use with the new CPU. Any advice would be welcomed.

    TY for looking into this, it took me a few days to remember my answers. My main account was down, still had my 2nd account running however. I don't use real information for those questions, helps prevent getting hacked from people who dig personal info.
  10. Well it took me a few days to resub my main account, now most likely gonna lose my free vanguard booster. -.-

    The way this security thing was implemented was horrible. Most things ask you for answers to "new" questions when they upgrade security. They simply let you into the account after you enter your password.

    Where is the waves of people getting their accounts hacked to even need this? Game Login/Password is different from MA Login/Password. I know I use different names and passwords, I know none of my toons are named after these names. Most people I know are the same way.

    Confused as to why the change was needed.
  11. Will respec badges be awarded retroactively as well?
  12. I suggest you stop deleting toons unless you really need the space. Several times as I level a toon they will stall somewhere between 30-45. I always get an idea for another toon and want to try it out. Sometimes the toons aren't played for months, then I get the urge to pick them up again.

    The great thing about this game is getting 12 slots on each server for free. Altitus is a manageable disease, good luck. :P

    Personally I find Brutes to be the most fun, never could get into Khelds. I've gotten every AT to 50 except Khelds......
  13. Been a while since I've been in RWZ during a raid while not in the raid. Does it still teleport everyone in the zone when the shields go back up? Always loved that bug


    P.S. GateKeepers location is a lie, he knows where the KeyMaster is
  14. Its actually very simple to play a mastermind with a buffing set. When solo buff your pets, when on TFs buff your team.

    Your team has more powers then your pets, can take more hits and gerenally have better AIs.
  15. My controllers with auras such as conductive and hotfeet tend to grab aggro as well. This is why my Fire/Rad and Elec/Rad went with Psi Mastery. I took Tough and Mind over Body, plus indomitable Will gives me mez protection.

    My Ill/TA, Plant/Storm, and Earth/Thermal, doesn't grab aggro as well. So your auras are causing the issue. I'd say if you don't need it running, turn it off.
  16. Shards in my experience is extremely random, I've earned as many as 14 in a speed ITF. Where as in an STF, I'd only gain 2 at times on a normal run.

    Once I earned 7 on one farm map, the next day earning 1 after running through 3 instances of the same map.

    I wouidn't attach it to patron pets, just play through. Shards will drop when they drop.

    Solo Khan?

    Not sure if its possible honestly, as you said his HP and regen would be a hurdle. But consider also you only have 10 shots from the gun to even damage him. Now add that another AV joins the fight as he's taken down.

    I'm sure if there were no other AVs some controllers could kill Reich with some time. But again you have to contend with limited temps in order to even hit him.
  18. The proc is epic and I consider a must have, even if not slotting for full purples. I have it in my Illusion and Plant controller and it helps grab bosses. I also have it in my Mind and Plant dom, its just that good.

    My elec troller hit 50 over doubles, still raising my elec dom. I can't wait to slot them out and see the effects.

    I prefer it slotted in AoEs over ST if given a choice, more often then not if using my ST confuse on my mind dom. I'm really only trying to hit one target. My other toons only have 1 confuse power so its a given where it goes.
  19. No idea what 3 powers to add to my Plant/Fire Dom.

    A few things I request as you all tear the build apart.

    1) Permadom is important, on the fence about adding more purples as the market prices are quite high.

    2) Doesn't need the pet, damn thing is too squishy and a waste of a power redside. I do have the pet on my controller, but he can support the pet. My dom cannot.

    Hold nothing back please, honest critiques help overall. Current build is the pre-i19 version as the title explains. Pushing the recharge higher would be nice as well. Thank you in advance

  20. Before i13, the Widow would win

    After i13, the Widow would lose
  21. Also to clarify, the original post was very different from what is it now.
  22. Really Malkore, nobody cares to rally around this because its not affecting them. You've bumped yourself twice and nobody has come running to aid you in this cause.

    You may of just taken too many headsplitters to the head to understand my earlier reply. Farmers supply the market and keep cost down. Which means farmers nurture the market, get over it already.

    Static Field

In short, while the proc is technically functional, it will give no benefit.
    The effect would be interesting since they can't target the Field to begin with.

    Yes my original post went off the numbers on MIDS, which in my version is wrong. I later saw the difference in the number while in ingame.


    On a side note, kinda disappointed the Gremlins do not accept End Mod sets. Wanted to see what happens if I had slotted the stun proc into them.
