I can gladly pledge my 2 accounts membership dues each month....It's $30.00 a month....
Best I can do, but glad to do so!

Not sure why nerfing something that I don't see players complaining about is really constructive.

Probably alot of things that need to be fixed other than something that doesn't appear to be a problem.

Hi all.

I'm getting crazy FPS decreases off and on. It goes from 120 or so down to 10 and then back up. It lasts for a few moments then it's gone. My CPU usage is staying steady at around 30%.

Any ideas?

I'm having the same hard core lag for 30 sec - 1 min at a time also, it just started last week.

Not sure what is going on. I hope NCSOFT is looking into this...

Can anyone tell me if these recipes drop in the Arena anymore?
Night after night getting hundreds of kills per session and getting only 1 drop every 3-5 days it's impossible to build a proper toon.

Many of these recipes are impossible to purchase as there aren't any available on the Markets.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

It sucks. It takes too long to get enough merits for anything worth having. At least before you had a [censored] chance to get something worth a damn...

Mission complete bonus at least should include a merit bonus....

It's not like it got easier to do the TF / SF's with now even less people playing due to the exit of so many subscribers to the game....

Please refrain from circumventing the filter when posting. ~Niviene was here

Sitting inside PFF with aid self makes you unkillable by anyone or any group of players. It's super. If you took all the pvper's left across all the servers and put them against anyone in PFF with aid self I'm not sure they could kill it.

1 Numina's Unique is 250 Merits...That's 5 Posi runs on 1 guy. How casual of a gamer can you be and still have time to do that and nothing else.

How casual a gamer can you be and want a Numana's Unique?

My characters get maybe a few pool A recipe sets during their careers. Four or five if I'm feeling ambitious. The build you posted is alien to me. I seriously doubt there are very many casual gamers who would attempt such a thing now, let alone after I13 goes live.

Thats a pretty standard build for many of my toons. I have 17 completely IO'd out 50's with the purples and the uniques, it wasn't easy, it took 100's of hours....


Once the community see's how badly the new system is nerfed I'm afraid many will simply lose hope at being able to really make and complete their toons the way they want to.

Goodluck everyone trying to slot out your toon's 2nd build done when you can't get merits and anything you find that gives merits faster than they like will get nerfed.

Good luck to you, sir.

Community Relations to me would be like running the PR department of an unpopular political party. Anything you say for the people is misinterpreted as an attack on one segment, whilst anything you announce being done for them is seen as taking away from another.

It's selfless, thankless, and often not recognised. I will be one of those to recognise it and offer you my best wishes....I was surprised to hear of you leaving and I certainly hope you will become known as a fixture on these boards as a player with a clearly stated vision now that you're out of the current administration.

I wish him the best of luck as well but lets not put him in for sainthood....

selfless, thankless, and often not recognised? I mean was he doing it for free?
