Illusion Control Blind has no effect on accuracy. It never has done.

[/ QUOTE ]Technically there are no powers in the game (to my knowledge) that debuff Accuracy, but assuming you meant ToHit...

...really? Dang, goes to show what I know about Controllers. Wonder what made me miss so much when I was fighting that Illu/Mind Control AV yesterday. Must've been the parade of other customs around it.


[/ QUOTE ]
Spectral Terror? It's got an unenhancable 15% ToHit debuff in there.

Looking at City of Data it's a 15% per Fear (PBAOE Aura and a single target one) and the single target one should also self-stack on you.

Looking at those figures I see why the -ToHit is unenhancable.

Also if Col is talking depending the AV (Mind/Illusion one) he faced on a mission, Terrify also has -To Hit in it and it is enhanceable. So Spectral Terror and Terrify (which he said he hit by it at least once) can take your to hit chance to crappy levels.

Simple way to stop extreme PLing. Make trainer visits mandatory before you can start earning xp towards your next level. Done.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not sure if this good, as i'm a terrible one for soildering on even if i level and not even cashing in my levels to really need to. I'd still like to be getting xp to my next level even tho ive still to claim ones ive got banked.

[/ QUOTE ]

We really don't want people running off after every ding and before level 20ish I tend to ignore the odd levels entirely and only visit a trainer at the even ones. But in principle it's a good idea if it only applied after level 20 and let you earn up to 0.999999 of the next level (to stop people dinging and running off immediately).

So basically a 2 level limit (or 1.99999999) per mission after level 20 (with apologies to JD for breaking his oddball case. Make up your mind man )

stupid idea tbh. if ppl ant to pl let them. its nt harming neone as longas they dont over spam the broadcast

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually on wrong run it hurts, Saphi. Did you ever do a TF with a leecher, a person who has slightest idea of what his powers do? You learn many things during your leveling process to level 50.

Even we can see Sewer Run as a power leveling, you put effort and time to complete that run.

As a TF lover like me i ask you one question, do you want to run a Statesman TF with a tank who doesn't know what the heck is mez protection or don't have taunt? Or an Empath with whole attacks but only Healing Aura?

Yes, farming doesn't bother me much, people can do whatever they want with their time but PLing will also ruin my enjoyment from the game in long run, especially new players dragged into it.

Also not related to your post;

About that mandotary leveling. DDO has that limit for 2 levels but their missions are tailored by keeping that fact in mind. On low levels you get 2 levels only on Frostfire with a full team. Think other missions like Atta which is usually further than Frostie to a trainer.

Removing XP from MA will hurt that system greatly. I really like doing lowbie arcs on my new characters instead of running around in Galaxy or Atlas without travel power. I still prefer Faultline or Croatoa on my higher level heroes as those arcs are really good. MA is also good for filling 35-40 gap. Standart contacts giving my least favorite groups unluckily on that level range (Council or DE).

Happy Birthday! Wish you all the best.

I said if you can't find someone to draw

My heroes ain't that magical... hmm maybe i should use my request chance in future when i get my mage to ITF and got roman chest details. He will be more suited to your style i guess. Or i should publish my MA Arc as he will be one of the allies on last mission to face AV.

Happy Bee Day, Knightly!

Happy Birthday to you, too

Thanks for all those posts, mates. I really liked that multilanguage messages even i don't understand most of them.

Oh my bad, as ML can't possibly find on an online translator what my reply to her means here is my translation.

Tesekkurler means "Thanks" in Turkish but as it uses many Turkish only letters you can't find it's exact meaning possibly.

Hmm i like the blending colors as that gives her a Captain Universe or Galaxy (whatever his name, that thing posses humans to help in times of great need) like feeling.

I usualy don't make request for art of my characters but if you need someone to draw, i will be pleased if you try anyone of my heroes. Araf has a pictures in here somewhere.

Lastly, you maybe think i am exagerating but what you do is what i dream most of the time for my pictures but never get so close in my hands. You have a real artistic eye, using colors with a great success and every picture has an unique feeling. As i know your earlier works too, i also like your new style more. For me they have no resemblance to 3D art, they look like done by a great painter.

I've also noted a bug when soloing MA's (Which I reported but nothing has been done against) I play a Squishy controller. Before I've had no real difficulty soloing by using blind as cc and phantom army on the really big groups. In MA though I have to search for missions without any costom mobs at all. Why? My blind isn't working as it should with custom mobs. It works fine on meele mobs, but all ranged mob s are still happily fiering away with deadly accuracy even when blinded. My boyfriend have had the same issue with his cc power(he plays blaster). And another issue on the same notes custom characters are much better aimers than normal mobs.

For me the trouble is most people do like to use custom groups making it nearly impossible finding arcs without them, and especially finding good arcs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm i never noticed that. I have two ranged mobs on my custom mob and using my mind troller for test. I can hold or sleep them easily as i usually rush to finish first mission which is only has custom mobs. I can't remember which attack set i choose for them tho', possibly they have defender attack sets instead of blaster ones.

One thing i noticed, can't remember which set but either WP or SR custom mobs are immune to confuse.

[ QUOTE ]
Most missions don't have every minion able to induce mez though. Been trying some arcs on a lowbie and I can well see people didn't intentionaly made it hard, but anything martial arts rushes over and overhelms with the number of attacks with chance to stun. Same with EM, but lets not go into mobs with controller sets.

Now being a lowbie I've no reason to complain, custom mobs *are* strong and sticking to in-game factions works so much better because.. yes, they were tailored for lowbies. Other than the Lost we get no mezzes, damage comes at a slow steady rate because mobs have few attacks, etc.



[/ QUOTE ]

This is why i think we must have ability to tailor powers of our custom mobs. I want to disable some powers in my custom mobs instead of using same or similar sets with each one. Also some lowbie powers would be nice to have, like pistol, baseball bat, crossbow or throwing knives most low level standart minions use.

[ QUOTE ]
I have to agree with the OP, the MA is not solo friendly.

Most custom groups in the MA have a lot of stun/toggle/holds etc, and for my characters without a countermeasure against that they basically get put out of comission (1 of the custom mobs just perma holds, the rest of them beats down on you).

And then theres the matter of EB's that have got an insane recovery rate, that puts my tanker (my main) out of comission because he just cant outdmg the boss.
Heck,I was on a solo mission arc yesterday and had the take down the end boss, who just kept running away and using mog, and I was on my peacebringer squid form and still couldn't outdmg his recovery.

[/ QUOTE ]

What you describe is not MA mate, people who are doing their arcs. Some people are somehow like to show how uber things they can build.

In my opinion if you want to make a solo friendly arc:

1- If you want to put an AV at the end, put at least one ally to help squishy players or two (Just like Kurse mission on faultline where you have Arbiter Sands and Fusionette to help you)
2- Give controller or defender sets to Lt. and Bosses. Whose are not spawn much in solo setting, especially bosses.
3- Use ambushes as less as possible.
4- Test your arc with a squishy character. (But using a defender will make your arc too easy for all other sets)

If he can't make it we can do Numina with who's online. It can be done even with 4 people easily. We will only need a tank for it because of that monster at the end.

Oh my! My eyes! Never post your pictures without a warning, Lady. They are too good for my eyes so it hurts.

Wonderful... Amazing... Fantastic... Marvellous... and other things you can describe unworldly beauty of something.

More... I want more... Keep on working, girl.

LOL!

No worries mate, as you probably know i find game too limiting when it comes to creativity. So if you think your hero has metalic skin and wanted to reflect that in picture, it is all good. Blame Jay instead of yourself

Move it to DA and Boomtown - they need visitors

[/ QUOTE ]

On a related note, do anyone else use the AE in Brickstown for the more quiet work environment?

[/ QUOTE ]

Me! My high level heroes anchored there.

On low levels i use Galaxy or Kings which are also quite on Defiant.

Faultline is the worst of them all i guess. That fog thing also effects your Character Creation screen in MA. Maybe they can move it to another place. Like Hollows or Striga

Yeah Col. That is what i first thought when i read Damz first post.

For arc, it all depends how well it is written. It doesn't matter if you get it from a contact or by reading a book. Actually that will be more interesting than getting it from a contact.

Only thing can get into your way is file size. If you can get your story around this limitation (which seems everyone can do but not me ) it will be a nice touch.

Ha ha ha! You are full of surprisely, Momsie.

Tesekkurler

Thanks for all the best wishes. As i already ate my cake on weekend (with family) i hope there won't be another one tonight.

One thing i learned, with passing years you get weight easily and they won't go away that fast as they used to be.

You get MA contact on level 5.

Even if they put some level restriction to the Atlas, same thing will happen in Galaxy. Then Kings etc. etc. The list goes on.

Hmm i can give it a shot, Princess. As i enjoyed your other arcs i will try it at first opportunity.

And can someone refresh the list? Also can we make this one sticky, pretty please.

Even on Defiant i get back to my roots and start in Galaxy nowadays. Maybe it is same in Union too.

I don't know of spams on BC in Atlas as i left the place when i14 hit. Both WW and AE making there a lag heaven for me.

Funny thing is i am getting more tells for team invites on Defiant than Union. With this i mean proper tells. Union and Defiant feels like two different games for me.

Whoa! Nice one mate. I really love that. You pass the feeling of your character with a wallpaper.

Just one fault in it, you put Zero to the wrong side, i put my icons that side.

Anyway already downloaded it

Not bad at all. Good for a starter.

If you used a screen shot make sure you have higher resolution so your picture will be in a good size. This one is a bit small.

Keep on working.

Well, i think i will be the bad guy this time.

If your hero has metallic as skin texture it is good, if not it is too bright. That doesn't make picture bad, it is as awesome as always. That is just the question ringing in my head.

He he! Primaxi had his life's longest dinner i guess.

Anyway it was all good. Only Melany's situation made me a bit sorry tho'. One negative side of being in pact i guess.

Next week we will decide which side we want to play.

For Numina TF; We can't do it as a team for now as Principal is still level 25. So we better do some MA missions or regular contact missions to get him closer to us, at least to level 35.

Thanks for this mate

I can write my dialogs now in work so that will save me great time.

Okay then if Herczeg can take his tank to our level we can get our travel powers with Defiant team.

If not, we can do Numina TF on Union. As it will take 1 hour at tops, we can also do some MA missions.
