Quote:eh, my dark/dark tank only has 4 points of -KNB. You specifically said you're not planning to be a "primary tank" so the knockback protection isn't that big a deal.Originally Posted by Beelzy
I actually did take CJ, and maneuvers. I shifted for another point of KB in this new build.
Since you already took Maneuvers, I would have taken Tactics - this benefits the entire team. As far as unlocking Physical Perfection, I would go with Conserve Power to help with those toggles. Having FA and not planning to use it..... meh. My scrapper has it and doesn't often turn it on, since he also has Tactics. But it's there when I need it (to punch through force fields, Moment of Glory, etc) and slotted accordingly.Quote:FA is just a mule to hold perception and S/L defense while unlocking PP. It should not have been turned on. -
All this could have been avoided if you had simply mailed that influence to ME!

Quote:Do what Hyperstrike said.Originally Posted by ChrisMoses
So, what can I change about that target to simply open the NC Soft Launcher and not auto-load either the beta nor the game? And not lose my access to the Beta server?
Or, you can make a new shortcut and change it to this:
"D:\Program Files (x86)\NCSoft\Launcher\NCLauncher.exe" /LaunchGame=CityOfHeroes
This will launch the regular game. I have one like this on my desktop. I only start the launcher directly if I want to access Test or Beta, or if I need to patch one of the installs. -
Quote:It took me 29 packs to get the damn GLOVES, and those are only 'uncommon'.Originally Posted by Neuronia
You should get all the costume pieces within 15-20 packs. At least, that has been my experience on both accounts, getting all of them except the beam rifle piece within 10-12 packs.
Yeah, there's that scurrilous rumor again. No one said that.Quote:Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill

I have no idea where you're coming up with that.Quote:How you can consider "Don't give us money, let us annoy you" a *good* decision is baffling.
Okay, but still not relevant. Unless I missed something, no one said that Super Pack 1 is going away completely; just that it's leaving the Paragon Rewards system.Quote:Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Given that it was Zwilligner that said that, I'm taking it as true. -
Since July 4th is a holiday, I can show up for this one.
I'll be running this on a Saturday with my controller..... so maybe I can bring my SR/StJ tank. -
Sign me up. Ironblade is 50+3 and has Hybrid at tier 4. I have a ton of Ultimates. Been burning through them trying to get The Really Hard Way badge.
The badge for not letting Black Swan have 6 portals up at once (Shadow Master) is EASY. Got it without even trying or thinking about it. Don't plan on a run for this badge. You'll get it without trying.
The badge for wiping everything but Tyrant within 8 minutes (Ready to Rumble) isn't too hard. As I recall, we failed it once while learning the trial, then did it in 6-1/2 minutes on the second try.
The badge for killing the 3 AV's within 5 seconds (Triple Threat) is harder, mainly due to Nega Pendragon's shield (i.e. the new Absorption mechanic). I'd say there's a strong likelihood of not getting this on the first attempt.
I don't have the badge for taking out Tyrant using 12 Lights or less (The Hard Way). This badge was made much harder by the fact that the Lights were massively bugged and only affecting 16 random targets instead of EVERYONE. This was fixed in Tuesdays patch. This is the only badge you should need the Ultimate inspirations for.
On any run that you're NOT going for The Hard Way badge, I can bring someone else. I have 9 other toons at 50+3. -

The fact that we havent gotten another Apex/Tin Mage says they want multiple teams.

The key part there is that you got the answer. Any snark is irrelevant. Keep posting questions.Quote:Originally Posted by Sevenpenny

Quote:Correct. They have CHOSEN not to, despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth. Sounds to me like they had plenty of time to think it over and this is a firm decision.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
And they have had over 7 months to come up with an alternative to put this discussion to rest, yet again they have chosen not to.
I'd pay 100 reward merits for it. I'd pay 500. I'd pay 1,000.Quote:Originally Posted by Ukaserex
Man, I think that's horrible that folks aren't able to get this wolf. If I could give mine away, I would. For a vanity pet, it is one of the better ones, but I would have preferred 100 reward merits, myself.
I would think the point is to make money.Quote:Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
But "We just won't?" That's the sort of thing that immediately sours any goodwill Paragon Studios builds up. There's absolutely no logic to it. You made money off of the H/V packs for it. So, you don't want to... make... more money from the people that didn't get everything (or anything,) or join / return later?
What's the sense in that?
Well, no. *YOU* don't like the decision. A number of other people don't like the decision. That doesn't make it a "poor business decision".Quote:Saying "No, we don't want to do this at all?" Poor decision, and really I expect that to be better thought through. This is a poor business decision, and a poor community relations decision.
Yeah, I heard around 600,000 from someone.Quote:Originally Posted by Arcanaville
As I recall, the devs mentioned selling over half a million super packs at one point. I suspect that qualified the program as a major success.
No, they didn't. Someone said they're going to be removed from the Paragon Rewards program, which may or may not be true. But I haven't heard from anywhere that they will be removed from the Paragon Market.Quote:Originally Posted by Snow Globe
They've already said they were giving up said goose by retiring said goose.
At least, you THINK it does. I would say we have pretty strong evidence that Paragon Studios (you know, the professionals in this field) thinks differently.Quote:Ticking off your customers isn't a great business choice. Especially when it doesn't cost you to NOT tick off the customer. Digging in and not listening to people that say "I don't like this way to buy your item, but I'd buy it another way" only hurts Paragon Studios' bottom line. -

Quote:This is wrong. It WAS as you describe, but only for a short time.Originally Posted by Kangstor
... you can't change how much people in the team lower than that TF's minimum ( For example for STF all missions spawn as if team is 8 no matter what is your setting or how many people are left in the team)
Logging out does not change how many enemies spawn, but quitting the team DOES. If you start an STF and six people QUIT THE TEAM, it will spawn for a team size of two from that point on. -
Quote:I'm pretty sure that the OP didn't see either of those and that's why he or she posted the question here.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
I'm pretty sure that both the Issue 23 patch notes and my "Consolidated Issue 23 Badge Info" thread addressed this:
Posting links to those other resources is definitely helpful, though. Especially if you can do it without the snark.

Quote:Actually, six.Originally Posted by Thunder Knight
Since the DA arcs only have five parts that grant that reward table (Max's arc has no reward at the end),
1) Heather
2) Mu-whatever
3) Praetor Duncan
4) Sister Solaris
5) Dream Doctor
6) Dream Doctor AGAIN - he has TWO arcs and each gives a reward table. -
Quote:I'm going this route. His -resist is already pretty epic, so adding a smidge more seems almost pointless. Adding -regen seems to complement it better.Originally Posted by Smiling_Joe
You might try coupling -regen with the -resist. Might I suggest Robotic Drones?
Thanks for the advice.

Isn't that the character you said you hadn't played in a long time, then you played her and were reminded why you hadn't? Or words to that effect.....
-
Separate badge. The OLD arc - A Hero's Hero - gives Statesman's Pal.
The NEW arc - A Hero's Epic - gives Positron's Pal.
The old arc is only available via Flashback. The new arc is available via Flashback and directly from Maria Jenkins. -
Quote:Massive necro. This thread is almost a year old. Some of the things discussed may no longer be accurate and the OP may not even be playing any longer. (The OP hasn't posted since July 28, 2011.)Originally Posted by SMlTH
Ok, just so I'm understanding the OP...

Quote:No, as a premium he'll get the base two slots plus any purchased, received due to purchase of box sets, or years of subscribing. So that 22 sounds correct.Originally Posted by gameboy1234
The "two global slots" thing is only for RETURNING players, who haven't assigned any slots yet.

I would say that Hybrid in general seems kind of 'meh'.
I have 9 toons with at least tier 3 in the first five incarnate slots and am working on my 10th. For Hybrid, I'm only bothering on 4 toons. I took Assault on my main (a scrapper), got Melee on my two main tanks and am working on Support on my main defender.
As for noticing a difference.... I'd probably have to run a specific mission twice at the same settings - once with Hybrid slotted and once not - to notice a difference. Of course, I wouldn't be able to notice at 12% regen bonus, but I got those anyway (five times). So it definitely adds up. If you put any significant effort into optimizing the character, yeah, get Hybrid. If it's a character you only play occasionally, don't bother. -
It might be, since they're not 'normal' trolls.
When you target them, what is their faction? Does it say "Trolls" or something else? -
Quote:Different circumstances? Even if your slotting is identical, the players taking aggro from you could be the variable.Originally Posted by LSK
Then how is it i lose aggro on my SR/MA tank and do not on me SD/BA tank which has the same type of slotting?
According to Red Tomax, the taunts in those secondaries are exactly identical.
