Actually, as a former comic book creator, I can tell you that villains pretty much MAKE the hero and, when you get right down to it, they're more important than the hero themselves in the overall structure of any good superhero story. What would Captain America be without the Red Skull, or Superman with Luthor, after all?
So rest assured--I love me some villains.
But if I ever change my red name to an actual character, I think I'd like 'Barfy McBarfbarf.'

I think "It is" is missing at the front of that sentence.

The main issue is that we can't pre-purchase the complete edition, which is just nonsensical.
I'd like to give Paragon my money, but I will not waste a month's subscription time because of some harebrained marketing decision. -
Quote:I used to do this too, but the time from 12-22 is so quick nowadays (without power leveling), that I find it more worthwhile to just slot whatever drops until 22 (and possibly slotting a few critical Acc and/or -End IOs if needed).Originally Posted by GhoulSlayer
I slot common IOs at 15, 25, and 35. It's much easier and cheaper than replacing all of your TOs, then DOs, then SOs every 3 levels.
Probably the most important thing I can say is: No matter what level you decide to start slotting IOs, be sure to have you build planned first. -
I usually use common IOs and frankenslot starting at lvl 22 (also tend to not build for stamina until that point and burn a vet respec or use my 2nd build at that point). At lvl 32, I start building sets, focusing on sets that max out at 30-40. In the 40s, I work on finishing my sets and replacing lower level pieces.

Right now the only way I can make this set work for me is to pair it with psionic manipulation for the drain psyche, psych shockwave + HoB combo or to do it as a kinetics corrupter. Any other combination is just asking for deaths.
As a set, dual pistols can use some work, especially at the high recharge-IO level. But it's still a prefectly viable set. DuPi/Dark, DuPi/Rad, DuPi/Traps, DuPi/NRG and DuPi/Ice all work just fine, though none will be long-term fotm builds. And that's just what I and god friends have played/tested. -
Quote:There are plenty of reasons. Even more so with full auto (which needs no buffs). While it's entirely possible that dual-pistols will not be a poplular set as a whole 6 mo after everyone has access to it (i.e. near the ned of the year), I don't see anyone spec'ing out of their nuke with any regularity... especially since it's crash-less.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
QFT. There is no reason why Hail of bullets shouldnt give like a 45% defense to all for the duration of the animation or an untouchable state for the duration of the power. Hell they could do the same thing with full auto. I predict in 6 months most blasters would end up respecing out of Hail of Bullets due to the poor damage to the amount of times it gets you killed ratio.
Can it use tweaks? Yes.
Is it a useless power? No.
Will it consistently get you killed? Only if you're doing something wrong. -

If you buy the Complete Edition when it comes out (you can't pre-purchase it), you get the usual free month. The Upgrade Edition does not include any playtime.
The Complete Edition also includes the extra costumes, auras, stances and the temp power. Those items will be available separately as a digital add-on later at an as-yet undisclosed price. -

You know... just the other day I was thinking "Lil' Nivie has really hit her stride as community rep here" and now POOF! you're gone.
Best of luck at your new job!

I have a /Rad defender that I went pretty proc-heavy on. Since you have the ability to externally up your rech via Syphon Speed, slotting for recharge may not be as important. But I do agree with those above that the +toHit is a waste. Also, if you miss with SySpd, you will still want some rech in your AoE.
Personally, I'd reather slot the tier 1 & 2 attacks with multiple damage procs, since they will fire off far more frequently. The Achilles, however, definitely should stay. -

What's dramatic about a simple informative post? I feel that after all these hours it would have been nice for someone there to address the situation. Is that being overly dramatic?

Quote:The thing is, you will probably run into something similar on GR launch day (unless they sell the boxed set and complete edition digital before GR goes live). These things happen.Originally Posted by SkyRocker
This is why I'm still seriously considering waiting until July. I know that my little $29.99 isn't going to hurt them that much, but what if other people out there are considering the same thing? It wouldn't be so bad if there was some sort of announcement, I know that SOMEONE at NCSoft has to know, one little announcement: "Hey we're sorry. we'll get it fixed ASAP", would go a long way towards creating some goodwill about the situation.

Quote:Given that my laptop only has 1GB of RAM, and I enjoy playing on it just fine when I'm out of town, I disagree with this statement.Originally Posted by Leandro
For proper enjoyment of the game, 2GB is quite necessary these days, unless you don't mind a lot of memory swap going on.
The minimum system requirements seem too low though. -
Quote:While you are correct on the upper body armor, I'm not sure about the gloves. It might just be the angle though.Originally Posted by Dark_Respite
Not that I can tell - the armor is "Enforcer", I think, while the gloves are "Justice".
Also, see this post from JLove:
Quote:I just turned in 7 costume sets for “Going Rogue.” It’s really more like 6 ½ though. You can kind of see the base of one and the bits and piece of another, if you search though the new for “Going Rogue,” website. Enjoy! -
Quote:Yes she is.Originally Posted by treboreleets
I just noticed something on the new GR website! Look here. If I'm not mistaken the female on that page is wearing new costume pieces.
This isn't really surprising. We know there will be Alpha and Omega costume sets with the Complete Edition, and several "Praetorian-themed" costumes in GR. -
Quote:Noticed that too, and my take is the same as yours.Originally Posted by Tired Angel
Just got my copy as well.
One thing I noticed on the GR notes details was this
Now is it just me of does that mean there will be more new power sets???Quote:Spectacular Power Sets
Choose from exciting new power sets, including Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning. -
LOL!
This angst, kwetching and "I need it now NOW NAO!!!" is cracking me up.

Quote:A very well written reply. I am in the same boat.Originally Posted by The_Alt_oholic
I'm a 66 month vet, and I can sympathize with someone that is already owns a copy of the game that won't get a free-month unless they wait to buy the full version when it is released.
