I must ask, did you do this at the start of the tf (I.E before you started the respec or after you started) reason I ask is because if you do Exempts after then it will be set by the highest members levels before they was exempt.

So say as with your team, the highest is 30 and not exempted then the enemys will be level 30, if was exempt before you talked to the contact and started the tf/respec then enemys will be 25-26., so they have to bve exempt before you start the whole thing or else what people could do is just exempt before it starts and then unexempt and make a quick tf/respec for people.

If I have missed the point totally let me know.

I understand what you mean. The SK was sorted out before talking to the contact, but we decided to swap half way through. So the first indoor mission was fine, the reactor wasn't.

[ QUOTE ]
it's not a bug, more of a system designed to limit how easy the TF is. If you took a 4 level 50's and exemp'd them to lvl 24's for the first tf (or any TF really) then swapped Sk's or exemplars then you could breeze through the whole TF in about 10 minutes. That's why it's there. Either get everyone in level range, sort out your exemplar's/SK's before hand or make sure you restart if you need to change. it's not a bug, more of a feature!

[/ QUOTE ]

Its the [censored] feature then. What about those of us who want to change SK, or something else just as innocent? It wrecks the taskforce and means we have to restart...

Maybe I should know better as I've been playing along time, but say if it was a bunch of new players, they'd be wondering what was going on.

It's a bug which been in since launch really. At one point they tried to fix it by makign some TFs at a fixed level.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well its not a bug, its a rubbish TF level system... Espeically if its been there since launch... I mean for God sake, it should have been sorted ages ago.

I happened to be talking someone that had just started playing the game earlier, and he said there was no xp bar/window in the corner either! Is this a known problem?

I appreciate the offer but I think the worrier in me prefers the peace of mind of having a warranty and being able to phone my good friends in India if I run into trouble and need support. Thanks for the offer though

Mwhaha... Fair enough mate, hope it goes well for ya!

The title says it all really, but I'll ellaborate.

Was doing the first respec task force earlier. There were 7 of us. I was level 24, and the rest of the team were level 24-25, and 1 level 30. At the beginning, we exemped the 30 to 24 and set off. Then, during the mission to arrest the sargant, we thought it would be better to have the 30 exemped to 25 rather than 24 to make it a bit easier for us. We did this and continue fine and completed the mission.

However, when we came to the reactor mission, we went inside to find level 30-31 enemies, simply because, we assume, of that change of SK earlier. This was REALLY annoying for the team and made the mission impossible to complete.

Don't you think something should be done about situations like that? The system that controls the level seems to be pretty stupid.

If you want more flexibility, I could build you a PC... I've build many in the past and know how it all works. It would literally just be the parts (much cheaper than buying a a pre-built PC) + £50 labour. Obviously I'd build it exactly how you'd want it.

I dunno if you'd consider that, but if so, send me a private message

Haven't we been through this? / or #, but if you mean making the list of options that appear by clicking on 'menu', there isn't one.

On my options, it says you have to press backslash... COuld well be different on yours though...?

[EDIT]: actually, what I would really like (and what I have been noticing more and more recently for some bizarre reason)... is this ambient humming drone as background noise in all zones, its like a constant bass drone, a plateau for all the other ambient noises to sit upon i think is its supposed basis... whatever it is, it is really annoying and in my opinion unnecessary, anyone else notice this noise?

[/ QUOTE ]
i do, i hear it all the time around atlas park when i have the IG sound at full, maybe it's a sound bug in the system.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just a random thought (and probably entirely wrong) but - warwall's ?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm... I do think something in the sound changes when a raid starts. Could be the walls. That adds a whole new irritating aspect to their existence.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would make sense- There is a kinda "power-down" noise when a Rikti raid starts...

Great guide! Effective use of procs.

Technically, there are no mandatory respecs with a new issue. Often however a "freespec" seems to land in our laps right after every new issue lands (IIRC that changed for I10 when it came first - or actually we got 2?)

However, any freespec awarded is purely discretionary and shouldn't be taken fro granted (but would be a dumb move if the dev's took it away)

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm pretty sure we all were talking about a freespec when we said respec. Its pretty much the same thing.

I know we shouldn't take it for granted, but the changes to PvP are so huge, and as there are quite a few PvP-only toons they will almost have to give a freespec to compensate for the changes!

I'd say more than likely.

It's too far away for me

QR is a glory, but single slotted it won't hold three un-slotted toggles up that well.

People tend to massively overlook end red in their toggles because they believe it's all about damage or damage resistance or defense, or whatever. 'Secondary' slotting is ignored until high levels (and more slots), and then people wonder why they have endurance problems.

(Equally typically, people slot up their attacks for damage, neglecting accuracy and recharge because they don't understand the statistics of attacks. People often go for 'big bang for the buck' instead of actually analysing the data.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, all my resistance toggles like Temp Invul have 1 -end cost and 3 resistance, same as every other res power like that.

What I'm trying to say though is that many powersets don't come with anything to help endurance, and therefore we need something to boost recovery rather than being forced to take stamina, unless we wanna have to rest after every 1-2 groups.

[ QUOTE ]
Uh-huh, try actually slotting your toggles for reduced enduance cost. My current main is a /WP Scrapper. At level 20 she was running 3 toggles continuously when fighting and had no real trouble because I slotted for end rec.

[/ QUOTE ]

Also, not everyone gets Quick Recovery, which is better than Stamina.

Hey

I think the devs needs to sort this out a bit, but just for lower levels. I was on my L21 spines/invul scrapper earlier and could barely run 1 of my 3 toggles (Temp invun, unyielding and quills) without having to rest after every single mob. I don't have stamina yet, but I don't think stamina should be as composory as it is. I feel at the moment I'm going to have to take it or put 2-3 -endurance enhancments in every power, taking away from my damage potential. I know low level tanks, controllers, and many other combos have problems at low levels.

I suggest that we get a temp power, similar to the temp power every gets depending on their origin, that gives increased recovery for the first, say 25 levels, by which time you either have stamina or you or your team mates have aquired powers that help out with end usage, EG. Speedboost, transference (At 26), etc.

Why should we be forced to take stamina? Any other ideas/opinions?

Hey

I'm looking for some sort of guide or info that explains exactly what changes are made when, for example, you change the mission from Heroic to Unyielding, or Invincible, etc.

Also info on how many team members and what effects they have would also be nice

Anyone help me please?
