I was hoping this would be about the Romans using the coffee drink emote.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's what I thought it was, too... you open the gates of Cimerora for the final mission, and there's Imperious doing the /coffee emote...

"Hmmmm... have you tried this new Colombian Roast? Montague gave it to me. It's not half-bad. At any rate, I've got enough caffeine in me to counteract a cobra bite for the next five days if I were bitten, so let's get this show on the road."

It would explain why he runs around like a cheetah with ADD.

The heroside one has a similar but smaller problem, as far as no in-game explanation of the powers... after successfully running it, I still don't know what exactly the guns you get are for. If I recall, the description just says that they 'weaken' Reichsman. ... okay. So is that -regen, -dmg, -recharge, -acc, -tohit, -defense, -speed, -perception, -heal, -special, -resistance, -range, a toggle drop, or something else entirely? Fortunately, 'just run in and hit him and somebody zap him now and then' seems to work; I imagine it's rather more annoying v-side where use of the powers is much more integral.

We don't know yet.

You know what I hate? Those stupid hazard zone street sweeping teams. Just going around the same two or three blocks over and over and over. Never wanting to do missions or task forces. Don't they know you get more debt when you die outside a mission? Also, it totally screws up everything for people looking to "Kill 10 This" or "Defeat 30 That". It's just sucks!

Man, I miss those things. ... I should try to arrange a Perez Park hydra team just for nostalgia.

I'll check my dom when I get home... I think she's at seven or so 7.5% increases between LotGs and normal bonuses.

Is this just an animation change or are they really starting their buffs before being aggroed? If it's the former, that's nifty. If it's the latter, it's a bug. The faction was designed to not have things like leadership buffs and mez resistance up from the get-go. Can someone with a Power Analyzer power double-check?

[/ QUOTE ]

The Surgeons are cycling their AoE heals before being aggroed, but I don't see the LTs or Bosses using Shout Command. As for their Shield defenses, I can't say with all the ToHit most of my characters have.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm pretty sure the shields are up, since, like I said, they were ignoring a normal Stalagmites nuke, and like JB said, they're heal-spamming even when waiting. I agree that they didn't seem to be using the command until aggroed, though.

My earth/fire permadom feels almost the same, apart from occasionally actually needing to hit Consume now. My plant/energy no longer feels like she's /Little Girl Slap Melee, but she also has some end problems... although I'd say it's quite worth the tradeoff. She should be fine once I've grabbed some set IOs. I can also tolerate /Psi now! So, I've started an Ice/Psi.

Had this hit me tonight. The even odder thing was that sometimes a recipe would show me the pop-up I expected, and sometimes wouldn't. Some recipes never showed me that window, some always did, and some did occasionally. Very odd.

Same here. Had a full set of IO recipes sitting in the market... I could mouse over one and get the ingredients, but not the others.

This baffles me, everyone I ever team with tells me they play without sound, I didn't know my own kind existed still.

As long as those same people playing without sound are prone to standing there totally not noticing that I'm getting very loudly shot behind them, I will stay with you in the land of sound.

I have NO catgirls in anyway shape or form. Nor will I. Is there an Anti-Catgirl group? Or do I need to start one?

Only if my intelligent, cynical, evil catgirl can join. She wants a stereotypical catgirl fur coat.

Best bug. I was hunting down and herding drones up last night just to see how much scrap I could produce.

Bother to clean up a little bit and we will talk about your dam doors

[/ QUOTE ]

But the dam's in Paragon...

So, after putzing around on the new TF last night, I decided to pull out my level 50 dominator to take her on a run to test the new changes. Where better to do so than everybody's favorite pile of Cimerorans, the wall? Imagine my surprise when I arrived to find that the guys on the wall were actually halfway alert and prepared for battle now. The soldiers were standing around with their shields out, and the surgeons were all spamming their heals. At first, I thought somebody might have just annoyed the mobs and then ran away or died, but sweeping the top floor clean a few times just kept getting me similarly battle-ready mobs.

Both from their ParagonWiki page and my own observations (jerks keep shrugging off my first round of Stalagmites before I get domination up), it seems that Cimerorans get most of their active defense and mezz protection once they have their shields out, so I imagine this'll make things harder for some people to frolic on the wall... assuming it wasn't a fluke. Anybody else seen this? Are the ones off of the wall (say, on the ITF) acting like this too?

I personally actually kinda like it... finding things my dom can fight that don't spend the entire time as statues is a novelty. I might disagree if they act like this on the ITF, though.

[ QUOTE ]
Hero-side we did it in 60 minutes. Villain-side it took us 3 hours thanks to the ambushes plus all the other running around and non-stealthable parts (unlike Blue-side). Not sure who at Paragon Studios thought these things were both worth 20 merits but they need to get their stopwatches checked.

[/ QUOTE ]

Devs hate villains, etc.

But yeah, the hero one took me just over an hour with a PUG where none of us had done the TF before. At 2/3 of the merits of the ITF and those kinds of speeds with a PUG, I wouldn't be surprised if this became the new speedrun favorite.

Nope. Took a friend on a STF run that was her first, and she was our sole tank as an inv/SS. It was the quickest and most painless run I've ever been on.

The three defenders may have had a lot to do with that.

Most of my 50s get shelved the second they're out of powers to earn. The two that didn't are my rad/rad defender and earth/fire dominator. The earth/fire is the first character I've ever liked enough to put time and money into seriously IO'ing. ... I am cautiously interested in seeing how she performs now that i15 is out.

Marketeering can get them quick and easy if you've got some decent seed cash. I took my dominator from 30 million to 700m or so in a month of marketing for 10 minutes a day--5 in the morning and 5 at night. Place up lowball bids for set IO recipes that have a decent demand. Craft them. Sell the IO for about twice what you paid for it... repeat.
