  1. I was wondering what we were going to do with all the vanguard merits we already had thin I remembered that there necessary to purchase one of the components of the Alpha slot. Guess this probably explains why there releasing this pack. I wonder if there going to have a pay version for those that miss out?
  2. Now if only we could use those vanguard weapons as the core of the fire/ice sword power.

    sorry to be a debbie downer.
    Simple you dodge the mines. They have a lag before detonating. Or you can cheat and use hover.

    I used to almost exclusively solo. Didn't like teaming. I got over it. I think it happened whin I got a toon to 50 in a month teaming where as my original that I worked on for several years is still st around 30.
    If you have some specific resin why you don't like to solo I'd love to here it.


    Hello Hydrofoil_Zero.

    I unlocked the alpha slot on all my 50s so I know that part is indeed fully solo-able, the filling of it though is another story.
    I took one of my level 50s on Tip missions this morning. I cranked up both the difficulty and number of villains

    When I finished, I had lots of recipes, SOs, large inspirations, and made a fair amount of influence....what was missing was shards.

    I got not one.

    And I have not received shards on any of my unlocked 50s that I have played...so I am not truly convinced about it being possible to fill one solo.

    Lisa.
    After the initial ark you should automatically get 1 shard. If you didn't thin you forgot to talk to Mender Ramiel after the ark? It wont realy unlock until you do.

    Completely not capable of teaming? Reason for not teaming?

    I am capable, just not coordinated. Solo, I do well, but when teamed my deficiencies are obvious to me... crashing into walls which results in my losing the team, sometimes not being able to lock on to my target, I am a slow typist which got me accused of being stuck up.

    Oh, I forgot one of your questions...I play this game because my better half dragged me kicking and screaming into it. When when I settled down to a mild wimper I found that beating up bad guys is serious stress therapy, and this game is something He and I can do together...didn't work out that way, we are often on different servers, but we have lively discussions

    Have you tried global channels?
    Seriously I used to never hear of anyone forming a TF. It was because they all announced on the Virtue 2010 TFs channel. Once I found that I could get any TF I wanted.

    And yet you manged to pull out 2 nice sized rants In a row. I'm proud of you.
    But ya know I can go a week of non stop teaming end never wright that much. Just need to broadcast a LFT and never say another word. It's not as if we need to talk a lot of strategy. Every body pretty much knows what every ATs role going to be no mater what your team is do.

    Just think of teaming as being a MM with stupider uncontrollable pets. :P

    Edit: Five six posts. Wow, your the most talkative introvert I've ever heard of outside of a manga.

I've no clue what it is up to, the NCsoft support knowledgebase has nothing on the error, it might possibly be because my version numbers are too backdated for it. If I were driven enough, I might debug my way through the obstacle. But I really can't be bothered. I rather not play the game and save money by not subscribing.
    Have you considered a fresh install?
  11. You start fantasizing about being a developer.

    We need to be able to combine 3 insperations to make a larger version of the same one.

    And you should set your dom on auto. It's Ctrl+clicking on the power you want to auto. It'll automatically activate every time it can.



    Edit: And I never use my temps. I mean I got a gazillion of them.

    From what I red Poison is considered a boss killer. So if you focus it and you're demons on one target and this move to the next you should do fine.

  19. I don't know much but I can tell you that it can get better. The fitness poll is now inherent. Meaning you get it automaticly. So once you respect you'll have 3 new slots for powers.
    I'm not sure but I don't think you're performance shifter: Chance for +End will do anything. I think the chance is supposed to come from every time a power is clicked and Stamina can't be.
    You might want to consider slotting a basic health IO into Summoning Demons for it's heals. And I have know idea why anyone would use Provoke or any of the Presence power poll anymore. Especially for a MM. It's a way ancient hold over and is almost totally obsolete. If you need to pull just use corruption with a range IO. With the removal of Provoke and the freeing up of the fitness poll slots you should consider replacing them with the Leadership powers Maneuvers, Assault, and Tactics.
    You might also want to also swap out Expedite Reinforcement: Accuracy/damage/recharge for Call to arms: Defiance bonus aura for pets.

    Again this is just what little I know. But it should be good advice.
  20. This is to unlock the incarnate slot. The big super Elite power. It shouldn't be easy it shouldn't be something that just anyone can step up and do. It's something that needs to be planed for. Something that requires you to think to get. There are many ways to beat him and if someone can't figure out how thin they probably couldn't figure out how to use it ether.

    This guide, older than dirt. Way pre IOs. This is from one upon a time whin you had to upgrade each of you're pets individually. As for rouge you only need it if you want go to pratoria get the most out of your lvl 50 or want to make your MM a hero. Though what is in pratoria is very good. And I highly recommend it.

    I'm talking about OLD Emails. Years old Pre-market old.

    Permanent Ban

    This happened to me resonantly. Apparently my account was somehow involved in real money trading. Anyhow I went to the ncsoft page> help> support> ask a question. And told them about it. We eventually got it all worked out. Response time for the questions was surprisingly fast.

    Edit: Ack. I know exactly how it happened. I just remembered that while going threw some old toons and several of them had spam from real money traders I never bothered to get rid of. They probably ran a sweep threw the in game E Mail system and banned anyone who had a lot of them. Make sure you go threw all your toons mail and clear them out.

  25. The Jewel chest detail an belt could use some work. The belt has this odd conical shape which isn't so bad but it disappears from a rear view. And the chest peace version is completely flat and looks honorable.

    And adding the glow effect as an option to them would be good to.
