    Did the Devs ever go anywhere with this teaser? Honestly, it feels like there's a lot of room to work with on the Dream Doctor.

    Oddly enough, I think that refers to the Argus Panoptes (or one-hundred eyed giant) from Greek Mythology. Considering how much other Greek mythology is worked into CoX.... eh, it's as credible as the alien theory for it.
  3. And let's face it. While we (as players) know the Rikti are from an alternate Earth, and while we (our characters) learn in-game (through missions, etc.) that they are from an alternate earth, to the best of my recollection, it is not general knowledge to the Primal Earth citizenry that the Rikti are from an alternate earth. They're pretty much assumed by J. Random Citizen to be space aliens.

    I'd class them as extra-dimensional.
  5. Let's face it... Praetoria is a "utopia". No one has to work, so of course there's a lot less day jobs.

But getting when components for Incarnate abilities the Trials are definitely where it's at.
    My only 50 (Midnight Shield) is a tanker, and while he was fun to level up mostly solo, I'm afraid of screwing things up and wiping a group in TFs and such. I realize in trials this probably isn't as much of an issue as it's even more unlikely that I'll be the only tanker, but there you go.

    (And he made it to 50 first because other then him, I have regular alt-itis, and he was easier to play then any of the others, because he had huge amounts of survivability.)

    Great googly moogly.... you got all that in just a couple days? Alrighty then... this soloing stuff for shards is for the birds. I need to run me some of these trials on my tanker (and get other characters up to level 50).

    That's what I thought... was just being paranoid.
  9. So.... here's a big question (but you have to wait for it a bit). Some time back, there was a glitch where a lot of people got access to Veteran Rewards that they hadn't normally earned. I was one of them (got bumped something like a year and a half up), and when I sent in a ticket notifying them of the glitch, I was told (paraphrasing) "Thanks for letting us know you were affected. Yeah, we know about the problem, and we're not going to take the rewards you earned through the glitch away."

    I assume then, that when F2P goes live, that my 'amount of time subscribed' will be based upon my current (glitched) total. Does anyone know if the Devs have said, one way or the other, if this is going to be the case?
  10. What does the Ascension armor look like? Anyone have any screenshots of that?

    Edit: NVM, saw the other thread.
  11. Will the Prestige Power Slide be available for purchase with Paragon Points?

    Ah, I was wondering why I couldn't log in. This explains it. (Well, it doesn't explain why the servers are down, but you know what I mean.)

    Yeah, there is a double standard for guys who get around a lot, and women who get around a lot.
  14. I thought this was going to be a thread about the Slide power.

    Never mind, carry on.
  15. Okay, your math is mostly correct.

    Here's the thing.

    Before your Alpha slot, your damage bonus is 101.5% for a damage of 126.02. This means that your base damage (before any enhancements) is approximately 62.5. (Because your damage bonus is a percentage, that means each charged bolt is doing 62.5 + 1.015*62.5, for a total of 126.02).

    Now, when you add the alpha slot, your damage bonus goes up to 115.7%, which means you're doing 62.5 +1.157*62.5 damage for a total of about 134.8 damage.

    Your error was in assuming that your 126.02 was your 'base damage'. Simple mistake.

    They don't accept the "Universal Travel Powers" IO sets because mechanically, all of the Prestige Sprints (available as 12 month Veteran Reward powers) would then also accept those same sets, and you could have someone 2 or 3-slot all five powers (Sprint + all 4 Prestige Sprints) with "Blessing of the Zephyr", which would grant decent bonuses to Ranged Defense and (if 3-slotted) AOE Defense.

    Before BotZ got nerfed in I17, it was an even bigger bonus. And frankly, if it was going to get changed, it would have happened after the BotZ nerf. Since it didn't, I think we can safely assume the matter is closed.

    Now for my question.... is there ever, EVER going to be any way to get Slide other then the original Collector's DVD? Come on, Devs.... please??
  17. .... my only Praetorian to make it past 20 joined a friend's SG rather then my own "me and most of my alts" hobby SG.

    Rats.

    :P

    Anyway, War Witch, can we hope for some base love in the near future?

    Same here.
  19. I would love a Martial arts type secondary for Blasters. Or a pseudo-Kinetic Melee secondary.

    Or, in fact, any sort of new secondary, because, you know, Blasters only have six of them....
  20. Yeah.... I'm not saying I won't get it, but if it's just emotes (and just the eight listed by ZM), well, that's a buck an emote. Not really worth it to me. I mean, at least with the other boosters, we got costume pieces and/or powers.

    Of course, if they include a 'full helmet' costume piece of "Brain in a jar", I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

    Crab advice?

    Wolf Spider Armor and Crab Spider Armor Upgrade provide the same resistances, however, Crab Spider Armor Upgrade provides a better magnitude protection versus Stun, Sleep, Immobilize, Held, Confused, and Terrorized effects.

    Take Crab Spider Armor Upgrade at 1, and if you really feel the need to, take Wolf Spider at 49. Frankly, if you need more Smashing/Lethal resistance, you're going to get far better results taking Tough and slotting it rather then adding Wolf Spider Armor at any level.
