Ello.

After spending some time playing a game that may or may not rhyme with with "Hurled of Doordaft" I thought I'd buy a months play time and see what's changed in Paragon.

I was last here in Issue 12 - so I was hoping for some quick answers

1) What's the situation with Defiant vs Union? Is Union still the more popular, suggested choice for PuGs?

2) Is there any new story-content? All I can see is a Reichsman TF? The lack of new content was a big reason I left...Where's this Storm that was coming?

3) Is the AE just farming, or are there decent story missions in there (why do I get the feeling this is gonna cause fights?)

4) Day jobs - these only give temporary buffs right (max 2 hours)?


Cheers and Beers.

Only 1 EB for the badge? Coolio.

If the spawn settings are based on the Rikti this is gonna be easy

Buggeration.

Sleet has 76 ticks in 15 seconds....

Will each of those ticks have a chance of the proc firing?

Ta

Pft. Given empty vessels make the most noise you must be constantly abstaining rabbit :P


Anyway - yes pls! Proper taskforces/arc for the BP as a Dark Astoria make over.

I'd also like to see a "proper" Nemesis TF.

I wouldn't put them many slots in entangling arrow.

I'd also consider putting a Achilles-Res proc in Oil Arrow.

I've never

- left a man behind.
- let a man down
- made a widow
- made a stalker
- levelled a mm past 10.
- done the MoLRSF
- done the Orb Villian arcs.

Thoughts Please? (Designed for team)

This power is obscene.

I got it (unenhanced) on my blaster on teams and I was getting 7-8end per second and 4-5% total regen.

3 Recharge, 2 Health, 1 Acc for me, until I fiddle with IOs.

Well. I've been teaming alot (I'm all about teaming :P) and the toggles are stupidly awesome.

Most teams have at least 4 VEATS in atm (likely to drop later on though).

I PuG alot. In the last week I've had one team of 7 VEATs and a Corrup and one team of 7 VEATs and a Brute.

In all cases we uber pwned. We were fighting +4's (for all bar the mission holder who was 3 levels higher than rest of us) and we completly mullered them. We needed it to be HARDER.

75% Def, 45%+ Damage bonus, Acc bonus, stacked Venon grenades on a Hero/AV....

It's fun, but not overly challenging.

Ok.
Meet at states

Righto.

Meet at LGTF

It feels brilliant. Especially if you're firing of AoE's constantly.

The new phase/dimension shift/detention field/sonic cage announcements are brilliant.

Now no one on a team with me will doubt my power!

How has FF been "fixed"?

Righto.

I'd like to try and get the TT badge amd Mu Guardians this weekend.

Ideally (if 8 people sign up) we'll re-run the 1st mission of the STF again and again, if not it'll be hunting.

Sign up below please, when I see numbers I'll decide which

Righto.

I've got the Longbow mission in RWZ, and plan to farm it several times to get the 1000. They'll be level 50's though

Big teams and large spawns hopefully.

See you then

Is it me, or have the fixed the work bench bug?

You used to be able to sit in the AH buy salavage and converting endlessly, as long as you didn't close the craft window...

Now the window auto closes when the table explode....which is annoying..I've still got 3k to go

I have no idea what's going on in this thread, So I'm gonna lock it up.

Whoa whoa whoa. So instead of selling all my component stuff...I can make things?

Awesome.

I've been really bored of heroes since I dinged 50 with my first villian (just after they introduced 40-50 content), and he'd done pretty much every arc!

BUT with SoA I like the sound of them again.

New content
Team aspects
Sure to be in ainflux of players making it easier to get a group
Been long enough I can do the content again without remembering all.
Crab Spiders have some genuinely new powers

I thought it looked horrid personally when I fiddled on test.

Thematic Synergy is always most important to me, to Psi/Mental all the way.

If I had to pick, Psi/nrg (POWERBOOST) would be amazing.

Is there a decent planner out for these yet?

Deffo want to do Crab Spider...

When I get to 24 (do I get a freespec?) I can select their powers from level 1? So I can forget all about the blumming crappy Arcanos rifle?

YEY!

I had it 5 slotted with a Set (Scirico?) and then an End Mod in place of the proc.
