Quote:As Aggelakis notes, ONLY level 50 and above could drop Shards originally.Originally Posted by Call Me Awesome
My understanding was that any enemy that was eligible for rewards had a chance to drop a shard; so as a 50 you could get a shard from a green con minion. Is that incorrect, or did it change? I could swear I saw a post to that effect when the Alpha slot went live.
Then it WAS changed - to what I described: any enemy equal or higher than your level can drop Shards. And by "your level", I mean 'actual combat level'. If you are level-shifted, that does not change what level of enemy can drop a Shard. -

Why would you ever think that they'd be stupid enough to allow such a thing? Before getting irritated at them for being "unhelpful", try using some common sense... Transfers from a test environment to live aren't allowed in ANY MMO and for good reason...
As an experienced vet, the OP obviously knows all about level bumps on Test. Oh, and of course he knows you can copy a character over repeatedly. Because these things are obvious, right? As for your "ANY MMO" blather, gee, maybe he hasn't played other MMO's. *I* haven't. Not a single one except CoH. -

"Hey lets do the keyes mission, it takes 3 times as long to complete
I'm seeing runs where we have 6-7 terminals done before Anti-Matter arrives at the reactor and not much over half an hour for the whole thing. This is way better than a week ago. Once you start getting teams where most of the players have done it over a dozen times, it becomes routine.
I don't think it will ever be as fast as Lambda. A good league can clear the lab and warehouse in about 3 minutes and grind Marauder into mulch. But Keyes already isn't taking 3 times as long for people who have done it repeatedly. Not even double. -
Our next weekly task force is Lady Grey. Keep in mind that, since the Rikti War Zone is a co-op zone, characters of *ALL* alignments can participate.
Saturday, July 16 at 1 PM EDT
Lady Grey TF
Level 45+
Requires 8 players.
The contact is Lady Grey and, given the recent popularity of the Incarnate Trials, I think everyone knows where to find her.
1. Ironblade - On a tank if no one else brings one. Otherwise maybe a debuffer.
2. Sir_Thom - Green Diamond (energy/ice blaster)
3. Ad Astra - Agoniste (fire/rad controller)
4. GATE-keeper - some kind of tank
5. AngelicaVenger - a scrapper?
6. Elllllllllllllllllllllllls (is that too many L's?) - TBA
7. Johnny_Taxibot - Johnny B. Quantum (graf/FF controller)
8. -
I have to remember to leave someone logged off in Galaxy City, just to see what happens.

Quote:huh... did the Terra Volta trial today and the DoT is *9* points. So it's actually higher than the Entanglement damage, as long as you are only near one opposing entangle.Originally Posted by Ironblade
It's like the damage in the Terra Volta reactor core (but higher) - more dangerous to some toons.

I suspect in another few weeks it will be alot more common place to see people running succesful MoKeyes trials using the strategies outlined by us, the Badge community.

Quote:Screenshots are fast. Although I think the CoH built-in screenshot does not work on that screen. Windows screenshot capability will put the image on the Windows clipboard for pasting into a graphics program.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Next go to your enhancement screen. On a piece of paper, write down your powers/slotting choices somehow. Paper works great. The MIDs program also is a good choice.

Ideally I'd like to see them add an arbitary number of character slots per account (taken as base of 12/server for 15 servers (~180)) then allow these 'free' slots to be assigned to any server you choose,
I think this is the first time I have seen anyone suggest 180 character slots on one server. -
Quote:Only indirectly. For shards to drop, the enemy has to be even level with you, or higher. Enemies in a task force can vary in level. If you are set to +0, you might see enemies even, one below you or one above you. Some missions (Atta, for example) will have lots of enemies below your level. Setting a higher difficulty level will make all the enemies your level or higher and allow them to drop shards.Originally Posted by BigBoss Eyepatch
If you are doing a TF and you set it to +1,2,3, or 4. Does this affect the liklihood of shard dropping?
Not quite accurate. If you are 50 and level-shifted, a level 50 enemy will con BLUE. However, since they are even level or higher, they can drop shards. So the relative level is what matters, NOT what color they con to you since a level shift can affect that.Quote:Originally Posted by Netphenix5
What doesn't shift your chances, AFAIK, is the con level of the mob. So long as it cons white or higher, it can drop shards, -
Quote:Except Quaterfield (not QuaRterfield - only one R in the name) awards 122 merits. Nothing to sneeze at.Originally Posted by starphoenix
Just think of it as the Quarterfield of the iTrials. People still do Quarterfield, but not many.
You mean that YOU and perhaps some people you know only run it once on any given character. I've run it at least five times on my main character.Quote:Originally Posted by Redlynne
People run Quarterfield *ONCE* on any given character ... just to get the badge. After that, you never want to do that TF ever again (with that character), -

Redside has a tiki lounge, drunk tigers, the Holiday Chalet, and a time altering seagull. While Blueside has gambling and arena combat.

Quote:Or look for the cloud of numbers over peoples heads, when they're near each other and nowhere near Anti-Matter. Entanglement ABSOLUTELY does DoT. Now, personally, I ignore it since my main is /regen. It's like the damage in the Terra Volta reactor core (but higher) - more dangerous to some toons.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
it does? i dont think ive EVER seen that in any of the keyes trials ive done, ill have to check the powers in game again,

I knew that would spawn knee-jerk posts.
I say again, it's an easy change. The heavy lifting was already done when they modified the interface from a single column to accommodating multiple columns. Yes, I'm a programmer. Yes, I've designed similar interface elements.
So, unless the UI was designed by a moron (i.e. going from a locked-in single column to a lock-in design with no ability to upgrade in the future), then it's easy. Pretty flow charts don't change that.

Quote:It sounds like the problem is at your end. I have never had a problem like these with any trial except when the original two trials were first introduced. Ever since then, no problems. I have had absolutely no crashes or connection issues during the Keyes trial and routinely join BAF trials with full (24 people) leagues.Originally Posted by TitoVendetta
I have tried over 2 dozen times to run the KIR and have yet to successfully even reach the zone map.
I have tried over 10 times to run Lambda(6+) or BAF(5) and have yet to be able to do so, although I will give that on one Lam the issue was graphics not game function related.
This "feature" of not being able to run a league over I guess the data now supports 19 although I have heard of instances of over 14 or 15 is not a feature at all its BROKEN.
Can they make improvements and optimizations to give everyone a smoother experience? Sure.
Is it flat-out BROKEN? No, otherwise it wouldn't work for anyone. -

Oh noes! I lost a nerd card I guess I'll just have to hide my shame in the ample bosum of a hot chick.

Quote:Perhaps, but this would be a very easy change. The heavy lifting (i.e. getting the graphics department to modify the UI) has already been done.Originally Posted by gameboy1234
You mean more than 36 total per server? I don't think it's in the cards right now, too many other things to work on that have higher priority.

Quote:Sort of. The N P C channel is part of the Mentor Project, which was mentioned at least twice. (Link in my sig....)Originally Posted by Fulmens
Anyone mention the "N P C" global channel yet? I believe the command is /chanjoin N P C
[spaces are necessary.] Place for new players to get help and support from more experienced players.
Also, when you are using a chat line command that includes a channel name with spaces in it, I believe you need to enclose it in quotes, i.e. /chanjoin "n p c" -
Forbin Project mentioned Leela's father as Nightcrawler. FYI, his name is Morris.
I have no idea who her mother is supposed to be. When I see an eyepatch, my brain gets stuck on Nick Fury. . . . -

Please note - AT THE MOMENT, the rate at which you earn XP in the incarnate trials may seem awfully slow to you. The XP is currently bugged. They were making some changes to allow XP on the trials to be rewarded more evenly across different size teams but introduced a bug in the process. This is known by the developers and they are working on a fix. I would expect it to be fixed within 1-2 weeks.
