  1. You can arrange places of powers with a respec. First one is after level 24 iirc.
  2. Good luck, GR.

    Hope things will get better for you.

    Take care and have fun,

    Knightly
  3. Yeah i think Mind needs a less busy secondary like Rad or FF maybe Sonic. For me illusion is more suited for busy secondaries like Kin, Thermal or Empathy hmmm maybe TA.

    If you decided to try both primaries maybe Gravity is a better option as it have an attack chain from early levels. So you can try illusion with more busy secondary.

    The Servers slightly less so, mainly due to the time difference (you get a fair few After School Special teams which can be... odd). But if there was an (un)official EU server it'd mitigate that more.

    The (un) part will be very unlikely, NC keeps the serverstuff pretty secured (ok, LA2 excluded, but they activly hunt for em).

    Ok, forums are bitty weird (due timezone too), the servers itself are ok, they have few more stuff then we have such as the sewer hunts. You just need to blend in a bit

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yep, US Sewer hunts are the most fun I've ever had starting a character. By the time you emerge (either by fighting your way through to the Kings entrance or by Death Taxi) you've gained 7 levels in under an hour.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well let me guess, you never started a new alt on Union, Atlas? We are doing it all the time and many runs include Atlas Bank mission. I mostly leave that core team around level 12-14 if they decide to continue Midnighters arc in Steel too.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    depends... I started a new troller a week ago, and had to solo Atlas and Kings banks (Although I did join a team which did Atlas+Midnighters, but after I soloed the bank, and the team desintegrated after Lady Jane. (we had to re-try it two times, and then arc's owner had to go) ) Partially that's because of an odd hours I was playing, though. It's still better than it used to be. (My defender I play from time to time had teams from Atlas to The Hollows to Faultline, and he's storm, not emp or kin. ADD: and yes, it's in the search comment)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Heh i think i know who were your team leader

    Yeah it was really hard to say goodbye but i had to go as i explained. We did an amazing job with Lady Jane tho'. I can be dumb sometimes, i should i pointed you and others that you can also start arc anytime you want by talking with the contact in Uni, the one you get a pop up window when you level up to 10, Montague.

    Anyway if you see me online again with Araf send me a tell. If i ain't in a team we can start one anytime. Better you can add me to your globals; @Knightly.

    Have fun.

    I've several on Union, all of which I street ran 1-6 in Atlas on and didn't see any (or little) sewer runs being called out.

    In fact I started a new character on Union last night. There was one person calling to join a sewer run but nothing else. Certainly nothing like the amount of sewer runs going on on the two (admittedly highest pop) servers.

    Really I should have started my own last night but I was tired and they would have expected me to Tank for them (what with me being a tank and all )

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh that is strange... People keep yelling on BC about sewer teams whenever i am in atlas with a new alt. Hmmm maybe they are stalking me and know i am a good sewer runner.

    Joking aside, if you'll decide to start a new alt and can't see any peeps to start sewer run just give me a shout. I always have an alt for sewers, if not i will help you with Psy for a smoother sewer run.
  6. Okay from a FF defender point i can tell you set is not that shinny. First forget solo, even with a solo build. Completing a radio mission takes nearly an hour with my FF/Psi solo build. Your chances will be higher with better secondary tho', like Energy Blast. That KBs will help you to keep your skin smooth. For teaming go for a high damage set like Ice or Sonic, maybe as Maelwyn said Archery (never tried it on a defender for so long) which will remove the need for stamina in your build as both sets are end light. Rest after buffs or popping up one little blue will help keep you going.

    On teams your two bubbles most important things, we completed Synapse TF without any kind of healing with both Cold and FF shields. Dispersion Bubble is more useful with new toggle system. As most mezzers open their attacks with sleeps, you don't get held with their second attack at least. Detention Field is one of the most hated powers in teams but golden when soloing. Force Bolt is a good control power with its fast recharge and high KB. When you hit a mob with Force Bolt it gives you enough time to launch your sniper attack. Other powers for me are more for personal taste (not sure about Force Bubble still doesn't reach that high with a bubbler unfortunately)

    I build my bubbler for ghosting TFs. Invisibility + Recall Friend + PFF give you ability to ghost every mission. So if you want to go for controller option ill/FF will be too good choice. You can do it with a defender too. Also with 2 bubbles, dispersion bubble, group invisibility and manuveurs (sp?) your team mates will get close to soft defense cap. Only down side of ill/ff is it can become boring fast as both sets are fire and forget sets. Illusion don't have an attack chain so after buffing team and summoning your pets things you can do is very limited. On defender side you will be poor man's blaster in team. After bubbles up rest of your time is wasted with blasting hell outta bad guys.

    Don't like Gravity set so i don't have any idea about it other than Propels animation takes so long. Possibly your team will be moving to next mob when your animation ends.

    That's all i can think for now. Ask any question if i murdered English somewhere and you don't understand.

    Have fun,

    Flash isn't such a bad power once it is slotted, although thats talking from a +rediculous recharge build.

    [/ QUOTE ]Doesn't this apply to pretty much all AoE Hold powers? Heh.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah i guess so, i use Mass Hypno + Terrify instead of Total Domination or EMP Pulse on Psy-knight. Even with AM+Hasten combo those two takes ages to recharge.

    How many people would jump servers to one of the US ones though if ours did get transfered?
    I would defo be taking it into consideration.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    After they took away GR (most close official figure to EU players currently) and after seeing US sides reaction to things happening i don't want to move that side. Heck, i don't even know if i want to continue this game...

    The things i see at the moment is, US side both players and devs don't give a damn about what happen to EU players so why do i care for them and continue their game anymore?

    I am still angry.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Hey i like that animation on combustion... You look so mighty and cool while enemies run towards you. This is why i like fire secondary on tanks despite the fact i hate fire sword series of attacks.
  11. Oh nooooo! They took GhostRaptor away, too?
  12. As i don't want to start another thread i will ask a question about my fire controller,

    Do anyone knows any synergies between Fire and Sonic? Also as far as i know there is no difference between Sonic Dispersion Bubble and Clarify in effects except second one also protects allies from sleep, so i am thinking about skipping bubble and getting clarify. Which one will be more usefull?

    Thanks for replies

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they make it so TFs/SFs never scale below minimum team size anymore? Example, if you start a TF that requires 4 people to start, with 8 people, and 6 quit, it still scales for 4, not 2. No?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's what i was remembering but someone made a quote about it, the changes to TFs devs made last year.

    No one more than me wishes that I *am* wrong, trust me on that.

    But if this IS all true, and it's looking like it is, I don't see how I will be, except maybe in the fine detail.

    It could be worse... When they closed the Korean servers, they just gave them all US accounts; no character transfers at all.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah transfering characters will be too much trouble because of the names. Giving a fresh account seems a better idea.

    Anyway i won't mind re-starting Psy-knight and Apostle on US while stalking Golden Girl.

    Okay i forgot the count of my attempts to post my opinion on such a delicate matter.

    I am really sorry about people who lost their job. I hope they can find new one soon and continue their lives without much trouble.

    For game's future.... I don't know what will future brings but it is a game after all. I will be cherish the memories i accuried during my time in here but nothing is more depressing than seeing people left without jobs for me for now.

    Gotta put my vote for Ill/Kin.

    I think they work well together because in teams you chuck out PA and Phantasm then can concentrate on the /kin side of things (Unless you feel the need to chuck out a Spectral Terror or two). You can use the confuse too but its best saved for mobs that have healers etc.

    Solo you chuck out the pets but mix in the confuse, sleep and spectral wounds amid all the /kin powers too.

    With /kin too once you pick up Fulcrum Shift the whole world becomes so much squishier as your damage potential rockets and you laugh like a maniac!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Does Illusion has a sleep power??? As far as i know its power tree is; Single Target Attack, Hold, Confuse, AoE Hold, Invisibility, Team Invisibility, Pets, Fear, Pet.

    If you mean sleep compenent in Blind... well i like to hear if there is a way to success on that. Not very accostumed with Illusion, only have one successfull attempt but sleep helps in solo a lot i guess which i find hard with my ill/thermal.

    Okay edited for more accuracy and also wanted to add, others you invited for starting TFs will be bound to that TF untill you finish it so it will be better to warn people before how much time/day your TF will take.

  22. Yeah i understand your point. You can invite people to start TFs but you will face mobs according to min. people needed to start that TF/Trial.

    They changed it but really can't remember the excat reason other than Devs not wanting people to solo them.

    I think it a pity that they only look at the time it takes and not at the difficulty of the TF/SF. There are some that offer a good challenge and those should be worth a bit more.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, why Statesman TF gives 30ish Merits but LRSF gives 25? Both are end game TF/SF. From what i've heard in game and read on this boards LRSF ain't half easier than Statesman TF.

    Don't get me wrong my problem is not how much merits they both give, it is about rewarding the effort put into that TFs. If one is giving 30 other must be giving same ammount, or vice versa.
