Agreed with /ignore idiot, and move on.

Whenever I did try to use the damn things it basically just sucked all the fun out of the game for me because instead of playing I think I spent about a week just reading up on these things and how they work before I could even use them properly and after all that wasted time I still ended up going back to SO's because they're quick and easy to slot.
If you stick with generic IO's, they are simple. Slot lvl 25's or higher and forget them.
Unlike SO's, and the bizarre names. And the expiring. Yuck. -
I think a lot of people would love quest clean up to be done.
I don't think the devs see a lot of value in fixing old, as opposed to making new, unfortunately. -

is that the way they work the story gets told really badly - unless you have the star. I couldn't care less if they gave 0 merits, I just want to be able to play through them, at least once, in my own time and at my own pace.
Though I do want at least some merits, heh. -
Science Invulnerability/SS Tank. Got to 10. That was my main at release.
On that server, no, but remade him about 6 months back. 30 something on Guardian. -

Your kind words of support are always so appreciated.

Are we certain that the Incarnate powers can only be used in the trials?
I had heard that about the two new level shifts, but not about the powers. -
/signed to the OP. Sounds like a very good starting point.

Um, so politely put, what the hell is this?
Error Code: 3 (PatchPathNotFound):
There was no way found to patch from version '1.5.1.0' to version: '1.5.25.1'.
The patch servers are most likely in the process of being updated.
Please try again in a few minutes.
You have to delete the old version, then download the new version.
That patch server message is very misleading.
Why NCSoft wasn't ready for people to have old versions, I have no idea. -
I had the same issue, as I used to play Dungeon Runners, so had an old version.
Cleaned off DR at the same time. -
Thanks to Tim at NCSoft for helping me out.
Got this computer good to go. -
I'd be fine with a delay.

Allow me to join in the terrible idea group.
I've got my response, saying go to the knowledge base.
And provide all codes.
Yeah, that is happening.
Or the ID number from when I opened the master account. Like I have that from almost 7 years ago. -
With today's information, I'm down to one character that will progress as an Incarnate.
Seems pretty clear that the game has changed. Whether that is good, remains to be seen. -
Cross server testing between 2 test servers perhaps?

You're not alone in your current feelings of disappointment in how things are going. Don't let the Raid Progression lovers get you down. Everyone is entitled to their view, and to express their view.
I certainly hope the Devs don't let any few folks on either side who generate quantity/volume of posts to decide the whole of the fanbases image for them.
I have always liked that this game geared itself to all of us. I'm worried about that going forward, and have expressed so, and feel no need to argue with anyone about it.
Edit - the more I hear about the Dev's plans, the more I miss the old Devs.
I'll do the raid crap with one character for certain, but most of the rest will just shoot for the Rare Alpha. Same for my wife, except she won't do the raids at all. -
Got me on that one.

Well, hopefully these costs that people are mentioning get changed to something rational.

The Kindle 3 is definitely worth it, if you want a dedicated reader. We have 2. There are rumors of a Kindle 4 for some point this year, and of a price cut, so you might want to wait.

Quote:My point, which I was trying to not spell out, was that he didn't both to read the post.Originally Posted by Silencer7
What point are you trying to make, here? If the default difficulty is too hard, turn it down.
even level difficulty has spawned even cons and +1s forever and ever, and it's intended to.
2nd paragraph talked about -1 difficulty. Which I used for Praetoria.
The further point was, I know how to deal with this. So do you. But, new players are supposed to know to turn down their difficulty. That's the answer? -
Quote:Hellions do 1 Lt.Originally Posted by Schismatrix
Interesting. i never noticed that before. The only spawning behavior i've taken for granted at base difficulty is that most factions spawn some in a mix of 3 minions, or 1-2 minions and 1 lt, or 2 lt. And not all factions follow that rule either.

So, I got a burr under my saddle to make a Crab Spider, but bring him over to Hero Side on Guardian. Can't make a SoA in Praetoria (which makes sense), so need to start Villain side and work my way over. Got a character idea, wifey made a level pact character to go with him, and we are fleshing out the relationship nicely (he's ordered to protect her, she doesn't like it and isn't fond of taking orders - you get the idea).
With the Praetoria characters we've done, I definitely agreed that there were too many ambushes (or too many that seem to go on forever). Running at -1 also helped there.
But this low level SoA reminds me of a probably bigger issue. +1 spawns at low level. 3 +1 minions at lvl 6 HURT. A lot.
Now, I have my 75 month Vet Badge. No, I'm not saying this to waive my e-peen around. I'm saying that because I have 3 Vet attacks and a pet that buffs me slightly, and acts as a DAOC Warden 1 shot shield. And folks, those advantages help a lot.
Frankly, I'm not sure how the actual new players are doing it. When I have to deal with an EB with my SoA, I have a lot of tools to use - I also bought a temp pet and 2 lvl 2 Red inspirations off the market. Also helped a lot. New players don't know about that. New players also wouldn't know to lower the difficulty.
So, get a team. I can hear that already. Tough to do when there are 6 (yes, 6) villain players on Guardian. On the bright side, there were 27 when I left.
I also don't want to hear about how tough it was at release and how easy new players have it. I was here then. I know how tough it was. You want to know what the toughest thing I have ever done in this game was? Wasn't the ITF, or STF, or Khan, or a Mothership raid when they first came out, or soloing an AV with a Tank, or Duoing Giant Monsters. It was getting a Science Invuln. Tank to lvl 10. Vahz HURT back then. A lot. Why did I put up with it? 2 reasons. #1 - I was a DAOC vet and that's just the way MMO's were then. #2 - I was a FREAKING SUPERHERO. Was I really, well, no, but I looked the part!
Back to the actual point - +1 spawns at low level. Yeah, I know tons of people have complained about it. Sam jumps out at me as one. So, couple of questions that I suspect wont' be answered by a Red name, but no harm trying. Is this working as intended? If somebody runs at the default difficulty, do you intend them to often (not saying everytime) get +1 levels? If so, is Paragon OK with people quitting because of it? Because, you know they do.
Which is a shame, as this game has grown mightily from release.
Edit - wow, that is a wall of text. TLDR version - +1 spawns at low level on default difficulty suck.
