Quote:If your asking me if I'm gonna test it again..... not bloody likely!Originally Posted by The_Air_Man
So, you DO plan on actually TESTING future events of this magnitude, right? Rikti invasions, Zombie invasions, Banner events...laggy, but nothing terrible like this. Whatever you did differently...don't do it again.
The only thing more I plan on doing with this on is logging on long enough on the 27th to get a badge -
Here's my review of the event thus far
Logged into virtue (character was logged out in city hall)
Walked over to the door and clicked it, nothing happened for over a minute
flash....
I'm standing back where I started
walked over to the door and clicked it, the door opened, I stood there for over a minute, screen goes back
crash....
restart and log in, find myself outside city hall
broadcast that I'm lft
get invite
click accept
crash.....
log back in, and try again, this time I actually find myself on a league, took 2 steps and turned to my right
freeze.......... crash...........
log back in, get on another league, manage to get close to an walker and get off one attack
try to get off a second, freeze, I'm cemented in place for what feels like 5 minutes, walker is down before second attack fires
someone says "over here" I turn to locate them
freeze...... crash........
restart and log in to find no one around, frankly I've had enough, I turn to head back to city hall....... jump...... freeze...... crash.......
all I want to do is get back into city hall to log out
restart, log in, haven't moved, this time I make it to the doors of city hall, click.... freeze..... crash.......
restart..... click door..... freeze..... black screen.... crash.....
restart, log in, I'm inside, THANK GOD..... log off.....
Maybe there's a good movie on....
Great event. Looking forward to the next one. -
Quote:I fall into the this category, I've got another character quickly approaching 50 and wondering if I will do them at all.... probably will... maybe.... at least they will be a bit of a challenge at first, but to be honest the thought of doing them over and over again for yet another character and praying the RNG is good to me so I don't need to do them 100 times or more to get the rares and very rares needed.......................Originally Posted by Another_Fan
...Depending on how kind the RNG has been to them ... they may be ready to puke at the thought of another trial.
Like I've said before, I for one am never going to pay the price in INF needed to create a rare or very rare.... I mean, what were they thinking 800 million if you start at uncommons to get 1 very rare? 4.8 billion if you are one of the really unlucky that never sees a rare or very rare to get tier fours slotted in all of them? And this is supposedly attainable by a "Casual Player"
The more I think about it the more I think I may just role up another character instead.
Sorry, a little off track. But, just saying :P -
Quote:This really sucks, I only have 1 character I've gotten 99 with and every time I get 99 with that character I stop getting them, which is why I assumed a cap. Now I will have to do the trials again to get there and bug it when I stop getting them.... bother..... but thank you for letting me know.Originally Posted by Another_Fan
I have 136 astrals on a character. You might want to bug this
-
Quote:Astral Merits are capped at 99. I've been there twice and stopped receiving them both times. I'm assuming/betting that Empyrean Merits have the same cap, but have not been there (can anyone confirm?)Originally Posted by BLYKMYK
If we are going to use Astral Merits in the future why don't they just cap the amount you can gather now so that they don't need to make a whole new currency for the next step?? If they need to expand the cap with the next step they can.

So let me get this straight. You guys want the benefits that are associated with PVP (badges, etc) without actually having to PVP?Yes, and yes. The channel is for organizing groups for doing stuff in PVP zones. Hunting AVs in RV, getting nukes, shivans, whatever. A way to organize and get like minded people together to do these things. A way to do what we are going there to do and avoid grief while we're there. Personally, when I have a goal for being there I want to concentrate on the goal and not deal with the other crap. Especially with something like hunting AVs, not easy to do without a good size group and a pain in the *** if you've also gotta deal with other players.Quote:Originally Posted by Flux_Vector
Considering how the pvp zones are generally devoid of actual pvp, and most of the arena action seems to be on test, I think you'd be waiting a pretty long time to get some of the badges without organizing something somehow.
There are plenty of people that feel the same way. -
Quote:If it turns out that this salvage is not used for other slots, likely I will do this, if I can stomach doing the trials enough times to get the rares and especially the very rares to make them. (I refuse to pay the influence to convert up even if I may have it)Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
... and of course you can always start making alternate abilities from the current selection.
Even with this, what happens when you've made every incarnate power so you can slot whatever you choose?
I'm just saying a little prayer for the future that the dev gods smile on us and give us something else to use it for. -
Quote:For a minute I was going to say.... don't forget that whatever they make apply to the other side they'd apply to us as well.... but then I remembered that not everything that gets applied to us applies to the other side.Originally Posted by Tylerst
My personal solution: ...
For example, the 3 minute suicide button. I think all of the power sets have one. You click it and in 3 minutes your heath and/or endurance drops to zero or near zero with the possibly of not being able to regain one or the other for some time. I don't think I've seen this effect on any enemy I've fought.
Actually, if they applied something like that to the other side it would likely be applied in a modified, more brutal fashion to players.
This was why I originally deleted my question after posting it in a rather heated moment and only put it back up after getting an answer I didn't think I got. I was only venting because I know the other side does not play by the same rules we do and it got me a bit frustrated because of a particular situation.
-
Personally, I'm betting on new salvage and some unbelievably expensive way to convert the old to the new (al-ah shards to threads) because of the hordes of all the current salvage some will have by the time they open the next slots. Making the current stuff relatively useless in the same way that shards became mostly useless.
Well, like you say, we'll see, I'm just saying it would be nice to have some other use for it than spending gobs of influence to convert it to whatever we'll need in the future. -
OK, I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find it to save my life, if anyone knows where an existing thread on the subject can be found, please point me in the right direction?
So anyway... now that my characters has all the incarnate powers I want, what use is the salvage I have left? Almost 200 shards, nearly 50 threads and miscellaneous common, uncommon and rares I picked up grinding for the very rares I needed.
Will there be a use for these in the future? I realize they don't hurt anything sitting in inventory, but it would be nice if they had some use. I understand that they don't want to make them trade-able, but it would be nice if we could get something for this extra stuff we have laying around.
Anyone know? -
I imagine on some servers with smaller populations you need a single place, once you find it though, you should be good. I've been playing mostly on virtue lately and you can always find several trials starting almost any zone accessible to both sides:
RWZ1, 2, 3 4
Cimerora
Pocket D
Midnighters Club
Even Studio 55 in Imperial City -
Quote:Sorry, I reloaded and there were no answers, you guys must have been in the process of answering. I was just a little po'd at a minion with no endurance that took me out and I thought I would get different types of answers... Sorry again. Thankfully, someone quoted me and I'll put it backOriginally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Please don't remove a question when it's been answered. Others might wonder the same thing, and just seeing "Removed" or "Deleted" doesn't help anyone.
A do appreciate the input. At least I know it isn't just me that sees it. -
Maybe this has been asked before, couldn't find anything.
I'm playing my first character that has powers that sap an enemies endurance. Electric/Electric.
When my endurance hits zero all my shields go down, I can't attack, and I die relatively quickly.
When I sap an enemies endurance down to zero, or what looks like zero to me, they continue to attack and they are still just as hard to hit.
Funny how some minion can keep attacking me with no endurance but my "Super Hero" cannot and dies in two hits when I loose my all defense because of it?
Am I wrong? Do they really still have endurance when I think they have none?
If not, and they really can keep hitting and are still hard to hit with no endurance, then can someone explain to me what use endurance sapping powers? Other than the small chance it with transfer a tiny portion of that endurance to me? -
still looking if you're anyone is interested

Quote:Hmmm... normal performance in MSR has been the same as what I've been experiencing in the BAF for at least 6 months. I can't say when it got bad, all I know is, I did them with a 50 and everything seemed to run smooth, I created a new character and played that for a while, decided I needed some more v-merits and could not believe the slide show I was treated to, and this was some time before the release of i20, could have been after i19, not shure.Originally Posted by Doc_Reverend
Similarly, pull the logs of RWZ3 on Virtue ... When we ran it with a League, it was horrific lag with powers simply not firing. When we broke the League and just did individual teams, we had normal performance.
So it ain't just the league system.... -
Just in case anyone important is really reading this, as support keeps telling me I should come here cuz the devs read our problems....
I spent saturday going through every one of my drivers, updated several, including my graphics card driver. This had absolutely no effect, and no, I don't need a new computer, the one I have cost me more than $3K and it is less than a year old.
Quote:Well, at least that is some recognition that there really is a problem. I'll believe they'll fix it when I actually see it fixed. Seems that I have been seeing people complain about lag in things like MSRs and Hami raids for a very long time without anything being done, so I won't hold my breath.Originally Posted by EarthWyrm
The petition I submitted was escalated twice. I then got an email stating that they are aware of issues with lag in the BAF and that a patch would be forthcoming soon that should help with it... -
I foresee much begging in channels for 39-41's to start trials because most will want to do this with their 50+'s.
Or the Devs could surprise us and actually fix a bug that has needed fixing for... how long? If not I'll be skipping that week because I don't want to be one of those standing in line for hours waiting for a team that happens to have a leader in the correct range. -
There is a new private channel on Virtue for badgers looking to get badges associated with PVP zones without the PVP.
Here is the only rule that I know of: If you are part of the channel you cannot take PVP actions against other channel members during planned outings/events.
For example, a group of people decide they want to go into RV and hunt AVs. You cannot use this knowledge as an opportunity to gather an apposing team to go in with the intended purpose of attacking that group.
You can however plan PVP events using the channel, as long as they are planned and everyone agrees, no harm no foul.
If you do break the rule, you are kicked from the channel and your global name will be added to a list of those that will not be invited back. All members are encouraged to report those that break the rule to a channel operator.
PVPers are welcome to join as long as they can live by the rule.
This is a private channel and we have been trying to build it quietly through word of mouth but have not had much luck, several members, but our play times do not generally coincide.
If this is of interest to you, you can get an invite to the channel by sending an in-game email (or pm/tell/whatever) to @jh2 -
This is great! I'm looking forward to the megalag!

Don't know if anyone else feels this way, but, with the lag as it is...
... For information I have all buffs turned off, I have deleted my combat tab, and I do trials with graphics set at the absolute minimum. I'm still seeing a 3 to 10 second lag between power activations and I am stuck in place unable to move for the same 3 to 5 seconds...
... back to what I was saying. The only real point for me to continue playing is for the new stuff, and with the lag as it is, I have absolutely no interest in playing the new stuff, which sadly means, that I'm finding myself not interested in playing at all.
This really, really, really, (how many times should I say really for someone to get the point?) needs to be fixed, the root of the problem needs to found and stamped out before they add a single new thing to the game. I personally would prefer that they take every developer off of whatever they are doing and make them all hunt it down, read and test every line of code, make the next issue the "We finally fixed the abysmal lag" issue, because, as it stands, it is just not acceptable. -
Did my first BAF after the patch tonight and I have to say, the lag was not only bad, it was painfully bad, almost as bad a mother ship raids, and I don't do them often because of the lag. Very un-fun and most certainly not worth the time and aggravation.
-
I've been using this time to refill my drink, but would prefer just moving on to the action. Seeing once, twice, even three times, okay.... but this "B" movie needs to be skip-able.

Quote:Except for the 5 minute cool down since the last time you were attacked or used an attack which keeps you from altering what you have slotted in your alpha. I've tried it and been given the message that changing failed because of he above reasons.Originally Posted by Balanced
I have the impression that removing your Alpha power from the slot, then re-slotting it reactivates it, but I need to check that more carefully. If it does, it might also be useful to try re-slotting it after dying, but before reviving, to narrow down exactly when the power is nullified. I suspect that it's on revival (and that other buffs like Mystic Fortune and Secondary Mutation are being stripped at the same time).
In other news, I'm also getting frequent crashes when exiting a trial instance.
I'm with the other person that asked how a bug like this got through beta... I'd prefer that is was working and properly tested and getting it late than getting it sooner but not working. -
Experienced this myself last night, crashed 4 times out or 8 trials. It is a client crash with the warning message "COH would have crashed..... etc etc...." The Try not to crash option has never worked. Crash is usually preceded by an annoying sound loop skipping thing like an old LP album stuck on a scratch.
