Kinenetical

Im curious:

At lower levels, a void/quant can 2-shot a kheldian (IE. A PB or WS). But at higher level, kheld's seem to be able to sit there and have a fight with 'em like they're any other enemy. Why is this? I thought that voids/quants do a special kind of damage to them, and therefore giving them their weakness. Surely the damage isn't just negative energy... Is it?

next up, Kinenetical

Kinenetical, Happy Christmas!

[ QUOTE ]
as best i can remember it would be /bind lshift+rbutton powexec_name teleport

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats the one, thank you!

I want to hold shift and right click to activate teleport, but can't remember the bind- Anyone please?

SO, I was messing about with Mids' earlier (Not the guy, the herobuilder ) and came up with a pretty damn decent dark tank- It's pretty much covered for tanking anything!

Have a look at the build and comment please for changes etc.

Also, check out THESE totals- Not bad eh?

Happy Birthday

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not sure everyone would be happy with that - and anyway, fewer posts is a sign of a forum in decline

[/ QUOTE ]

Which this forum obviously isn't...


in a form of...

[ QUOTE ]
...taking care of the same old farmers is where it is at. ;-)

[/ QUOTE ]

Haha

NC will never get rid of farming when people pay for multiple accounts just to do it

[ QUOTE ]
tried looking for the receipt but no joy, going down to the branch today to speak with them and hopefully get a copy or some kind of electronic proof so i can pass them onto NCsoft, 5 days and counting for a reply from them..... the response time is unbelievable!

[/ QUOTE ]

This is rediculous(SP?), the proof is in their bloody bank account. They should give you the benefit of the doubt, reactivate your account now and then when they realise they've had the money all along, give you a month free as a goodwill geasture.

Thats what I'd do if I worked for their customer services anyway...

[ QUOTE ]
I've run out of slots again , I think we need to split the english servers into say 4 instead of 2 just so I can have more alts.

No I'm not serious I just thought it would make a change from the merge the server threads we see all the time

[/ QUOTE ]

ROFL

Legend.

[ QUOTE ]
this is where things will start to go wrong if you change the rules halfway though a pact.

either way you both can lose out on it but your the one more like to become out on top as you you the payer, if you change the rules....all the other person can do is quit the pact

[/ QUOTE ]

None of these will be changing half way through. These are the rules that myself and my new pact buddy have agreed on.

Yes that's right, I now have a pact buddy Thanks for reading everyone.

[ QUOTE ]
one thing you do need to be careful of is what happens if the person is unable to make it for some reason? do they only get paid once the level 45 is reached? What about targets? level 30 by xx/xx? 40 by xx/xx? What if the person cuts the pact? Any influence up front? Only payment upon completion with noa dvance and if you're not level 45 within 8 weeks then no money is paid? You need to really think this through.

[/ QUOTE ]

Already thought of this.

20 mil if I cancel level 20 or below.
30 mil if I cancel level 30 or below.
50 mil if I cancel level 30 or below.
70 mil if I cancel level 40 or below.

This is just for peace of mind though- I will not be cancelling

If you cancel, you will receive a small fraction of the payment. This is to stop people, for example, planning to just cancel at level 30 and get the money for this. Obviously this will change in exceptional circumstances. No need for targets, other than 45 within 6 weeks. Also, I will deduct 2 million off the 150 for every day over 6 weeks you take.

I have had 2 PMs so far asking for more details so we'll see how it goes

[ QUOTE ]
Should it be allowed? What is not forbidden is permitted, so clearly it's ok to do - but having looked at most of the replies I'd say most responders are at the very least, uncomfortable with it.

[/ QUOTE ]

To be perfectly honest, I don't really care if people feel uncomfortable about it. I'm looking for someone to provide a service. When someone does, there need not be anymore talk about it. If you don't like it, just completely ignore this post and pretend it doesn't exist.

As I stated in the first post, I'm perfectly within my rights to do what I'm doing. I've given a reason for doing it, and I don't need to explain myself anymore.

Just a side note, this isn't an attack on your or anything Scarlet, its to everyone that feels the need to try and tell me what I am doing is so horribly wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not forbidden (yet) so you are in your full rights to do this. No argument there. You pay for the game you decide how to play it.

But we ARE on a gliding scale here. If this is allowed, why not the use of Pro Life farmers? Why not allow the use of bots? Is there really that much difference between paying 100 mil inf or say a few Euro?

[/ QUOTE ]

One is legal and one isn't. That's the only difference that matters.

I'd say the real numbers feature.

I dunno why, but it just pushes me to make my toons as best I can

Obviously other features like Cimerora are awesome too!

New power sets too, always very welcomed.

[ QUOTE ]
A talking search window? Was that something new in I13?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, its like sat nav... Although its the kinda of voice that Lee Evan's describes in his XL tour

(Who's with me? *hand up ready for a high 5*)

[ QUOTE ]
hmm, so if your Xp is halved between the two of you you'd be looking at something equating to maybe level 68 in the 'normal' XP curve? I can't really believe anyone would want to do this for 'just' 100 million influence. 100 million inf isn't all that hard to come buy TBH!

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe, but remember the person doing it will also recieve a level 50 in the process, along with all the drops etc.

[ QUOTE ]
That may be the case, but he's expecting to be level 45 in 6 weeks. That's not exactly slowly seeing as your XP will be halved.

[/ QUOTE ]

But in a farm mission with a fire/kin or whatever, level 50 is possible in about 22 hours if you got a decent farmer. Double that to allow for them to level too and take a few hours off for taking me only to 45, not 50, and it ain't so bad.

If I was offering the service I'd probably do it in 2-3 weeks.

[ QUOTE ]
Just get in with the dirty PL farmers and you'll get a 50 a week, and you'll make money in the process!!

Then you can say 'Look i lvled in a week', not 'Look i got the last 5 lvls myself .. im not a Total pact [censored]!' .. cos thats what i will point and shout!!

Just joshing btw! im sure you'll find someone if you havent already! and there is nothing wrong with what you are doing or want to do .. the only time it will get annoying is people /tell advertising for pact lvling.

[/ QUOTE ]

Haha, exactly! And I know you were joking, but I said level 45 so I could play the last 5 levels and get to know the toon

[ QUOTE ]
he only going by what the Us forum have started and stated at for pact level price...

[/ QUOTE ]

That I am. However I have had no offers to far Maybe all the farmers are too busy farming to read the forums

Anyway, the offer is now 150 million influence or infamy for the same thing.

Anyone?

I've just updated to the most recent graphics drivers its the s3 chrome9 HC IGP 128MB.

However, I've just gone on overclockers.co.uk and found a ATI 3450 HD 512MB card for 25 quid so i'll see how that goes.

Main thing is its not my normal system.. only using it over christmas so its not critical that coh works, just would be nice.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ewww, integrated graphics! I dunno if thats powerful enough to run CoH; have you done it before on that system?

If not, the ATI card might be a good choice.

Hmm, that sucks.

What graphics card you using and what driver version?

Reinstall the game?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I don't really want this thread to be about whether or not I should or shouldn't be doing this, its perfectly legal and its how I wish to play the game.


[/ QUOTE ]
Sorry, this is the General Discussion forum, not Trade and Mart, so discussing the merits of a topic that's been raised - in the thread that raised it - seems entirely in order as long as nothing gets too heated.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well seen as we don't have a "Trade and Mart" forum and this is probably the most popular/read forum, I think this is most appropriate.

I think what I asked was perfectly reasonable. However, if you have such a burning desire to discuss it, be my guest.

[ QUOTE ]
Quite on Defiant?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, but it is quite quiet.

[ QUOTE ]
I've been on a brake

[/ QUOTE ]

Or even a break?

[ QUOTE ]
Am I just online at the wrong times or has union become more popular in my absence? (Or am I just plain paranoid?)

[/ QUOTE ]

Union is the busier server, apparently, but Defiant still has its fair share! I think most people are hanging out in Pocket D at the mo' though!

[ QUOTE ]
Using the general forums to advertise for this.

Sad times indeed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Cheers for the bump

Good evening everyone,

I decided I want an Illusion/Radiation controller at level 50, but don't really wanna level it as I'm currently levelling my Illusion/Storm.

I am therefore willing to pay 100 million influence (or infamy if you'd prefer) to someone to make a pact with me and get me to 45 in 6 weeks or less.

I don't really want this thread to be about whether or not I should or shouldn't be doing this, its perfectly legal and its how I wish to play the game.

Please contact me either here or PM if you'd prefer to remain anonomous.

Thanks for readin'!

Edit: On Defiant please

Now should be the time that someone from NC makes the effort to manually check that his money has been paid by phone, and unblocks his account before they lose another customer down to useless customer service.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. T'is the season to be jolly (tra la la lalala blah blah), even in the NC offices!

Very nice. Makes me want to make one
