Knightly

Hey, Happy Birthday mate.

Hope you'll have a nice evening. May luck be your mistress on the journey, you mortals call as life.

Mmmm, Knightly has a point here, tbh, playing with defenders/trollers has improved my scrapping, since now I realize how annoying some things I usually did are and how easily they affect the team's performance. Perhaps the problem Shannon mentions improves when people try playing a defender or a troller and see things from a different point of view.
On the other hand, I also have found defenders and trollers unaware of the problems they cause to melee toons, but to be honest I found less of them than dmging toons which are unaware of the trouble they cause to the defenders job.

I think the best education in this matter comes by itself when players try different AT's and see things from a very different point of view.-

Being someone with more toons of all ATs than alot of people mainly due to altaholism over 2.5 years I can vouch for seeing a different picture. However the largest part of that picture came from levelling each AT to 20 in the beginning despite having a main to level. Generally speaking, those that get to 50 on one type of toon without trying others tend to have a rather limited picture, they see the movie, but others who play all ATs understand the making of the movie better so to speak. I might be asking my question in other sections later but with arising problems of those ATs. All in all team survivability in any team usually isnt as good the total possible team survivability.

Hah, that remind me my first hero, Knightly Defender FF/Psi defender. I tend to clear the bad guys around the Inv tankers in order to save them trouble. One day someone explained invincible to me and i felt really really stupid. But on the other hand 'till my first task force with Mr and Ms Marvellous i didn't realized my powers are needed. Thanks to Cognito, who yelled many times "Shields are down" i felt i was making a big difference in team.

So in the end i think no matter what AT you play, communication is the key element for good teaming.

Also for each AT thing, i think everyone must try each set at least once. Then you can say you like it or not and you can understand their needs for comfortable war field. For example i leveled up a fire blaster to lvl 10 and now have a Sonic Blaster at lvl 15. Two are very different sets.

In the end if we be more tolerant to each other teaming is a great way to enjoy this game. Instead of yelling "Stop using that <bleep> gale" you can always say "Please stop using gale on my targets, you are making my job harder". Or while tank is attacking your anchor you can hit mobs around so you will have one less bad guy to worry about.

"Treat others the way you want to be treated" (I hope this is an accurate translation.

Cheers

Welcome to the game and forums.

And what happened to Mom. Even her sign turned into German. o_O

I hope you had a great time last night. My mouse decided that she needs a recharge. At least i can understand that was not lag, only my mouse.

Anyway, tonight?

I would say try the weekend you'll have much better luck finding a team.

Don't mind me tho, still need to make Psy-knight lvl 45 for this but i don't want to play with him anymore, at least for a long time.

What does confuse me though is blasters who can't wait an extra second for Tar Patch to be laid down before exploding.

OMG, so this doesn't just happen to me on my dark/dark defender, not sure if I should feel relieved or not, weird.-

[/ QUOTE ]

Not only your Dark defenders. Also Radiation and Storm trollers have that annoyance from anchor kill. Also as a quite experienced Radiation user i can say i hate Rain of Fire or ice counterpart. This makes mobs to scatter and all debuffing goes to a waste. (PS: Also hate RoF while i was playing with a tanker)

But on the other hand some defenders can be an annoyance on the team. Like Hurricane, gale using stormers, unwanted SB spammer Kinetics, Cage using Sonic or FF defenders, inexperienced debuffers (because they tend to die a lot) or Holier than thou type empaths or healing aura spamming ones (you know toggle HA than go into follow mode, watch a movie, read a book when mission end say GJ).

I could say educating both sides can be a solution but some people don't like team tactis or hearing their wrong deeds. Still on my 7th month i feel like there are so much for me learn and i am trying my best to learn things. I am asking so many questions in order to do the right thing in any situation to come, but some people annoyed with that question too.

In short no matter what AT you play (but defenders and controllers mostly be the one on to face the ire of other players) sooner or later it comes to players not heroes they create.

Anyway before my post loose its point i am shutting my trap.

Heh Conan is way out of my league, but if you say MUA, you'll be hitting the Bull's eye.

TBH, i downloaded that trial thing on 2 complete days and i am so sorry about not making any research before hand. As a PnP Dungeoneer i found this game really cheap imitation of a real thing. In D&D aspect i still prefer NWN or Baldur's Gate. Funny thing is since the Eberron came out people talking about it's so suited for Computer Games but unluckily all the Eberron games are crappy (still cleary remember that Dragonshards disaster). As an Eberron DM i know the setting is unique and very nice ideas about game world. I hope they someday make a good MMO deserving D&D.

Back on the topic, anyway we can also team up tomorrow tho. Tonight we try to close to gap between Forceward/Obsidian Sabre and others.

But still i prefer Kings+FF combination. God bless Pocket D.

[/ QUOTE ]Steel works best if you ask me, and I always carry a WW TP temp around so getting there fast isn't an issue either.

[/ QUOTE ]

Steel is so laggy for me. So i prefer Kings for WW and nearly empty Universities of Croatoa and Founders Fall.

So, will we teaming tonite or not? And more importantly who is coming?

After last night's teaming disaster i think i deserved a good teaming experience. (And people talk about selfish heroes)

Also if you want Watchman/Watchwoman Accolade on your hero, we could get it too. I realized yesterday that when you Ex down you loose Accolade benefits too, so sooner is better.

Nice pictuers, Mom. Gratz for your great success.

If you try it another time, like a time which is more suitable for us, who have to work let us know.
I will be there with my corpse bag suit.

Good Luck with the raid tho.

I can only say don't get into Mental Blast, it doesn't worth it. I had it on Psy-knight but respeced out and put IW in instead. You can think about Psionic Tornado instead. After Total Domination you can hit helpless enemies for double damage.

If you planning to solo too much get Mesmerize earlier. One hit boss sleep is a nice effect. Also i change Total Domination with Mass Hypnosis. MH + Terrify makes a nice combo. Total Domination also nice but has too long recharge time. Even with AM + Hasten combo it didn't up as i want it to be so changed it with EM Pulse on respec.

And Okton is right about Dispersion Bubble. I hate that sleep effect (but love it to death on Psy-knight). IW and Dispersion Bubble will be a good combo.

Wait for Bubbles pls.

I don't understand why people yell "oOo Bubbles" and don't heed my plea. I'm really annoyed running after them to bubble them. Especially on low levels a bubbling session means bubbler need to rest after it.

Heh my return maybe a quick one. I examined DDO content, races and classes etc. Actually i can't find it close to real D&D game.

Clerics with no domain spells seems kinda dull.

So if you want to team up tonite let me know. I will be around again i guess, i can take look to DDO until others come ('till 21:00 in our time).

TBH i want to level my Bubbler with V6, because of his team dependency but as we are in Faultline and Magnum left we will need a Debuffer. If Cancer-boy'll be online i will join as Forceward who needs SK (lvl 16 still) if not Beloved of Apollo will be in Faultline at 19:00 BST or 21:00 for you and me.

Cheers.

If you want you can gather but i won't be around. Let's keep optimistic spirit and say for 10 days. I downloaded DDO trial and want to explore its content for 10 days. If it won't satisfy my desires i can come back before. But if it caught the spirit of D&D i'll be around 'till the 27th August than i will say my farewell to Paragon City possibly.

Cheers.

I already made for our last raid (altho i dced at the mid of it). But should i change my sightless mask to that non-stylish tin can head?

And you can call me anytime for it. I respeced Psy-knight for Rikti Raid friendly build (IW and EM Pulse in) and ready and eager for duty.

Anyway thanks for the replies but i already started him as AR/Rad last night. After tried of AR/Dark for two levels. I find Radiant Aura is more usefull than Twilight Grasp. For not suffering redraw time loss, i launch RA after my enemy is down.

Thanks for AR advices Moondog, i think they are also applies to Rad. And i will have AM, the most beloved buff of mine.

Hmmm dire news Nightmarer. If you want to talk or feel like teaming, just send me a tell.

And i think it is better to carry this one next week. As Leon and Adhara is away too there's no point in making a V6 event without half of the team.

@lankey:
Keep on eye on the forums mate. We will do it on coming days. As it takes half an hour at worst we can do it even on week days. Sorry for that.

See you later.

Okay what do you say for Caverns Trial guys?

Here's the details:

Contact: Kharsis
Zone : The Hollows
Team size : 8
Level Range : 12-15
Starting Time: 13:00 or 15:00 BST

Please leave your post including the following;

Hero Name, Level and AT/Set. Of course also your prefered time.

If we can form more than one team or if you want this badge on your different heroes we can run it couple of times.

I will be in the Hollows with Psy-knight on Sunday. But also Devil's Chant and Beloved of Apollo has access to this trial. Hopefully i can lvl Forceward to 14 and we can have another hero to ghost mission. (That means, Nightmarer my friend lvl up your troller to 12 )

Psy-knight, Lvl 42 Mind/Rad controller, any time is fine by me.

the advantage of the base one is you can stick an invention table next to it

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm i think Adhara was telling something like that one of our teamings. But as i don't look around too much in base (only getting created enhancies from the storage) or don't try to build things for the base, i didn't noticed.

But still i prefer Kings+FF combination. God bless Pocket D.

I don't know how much you can put, but as it counted as storage item (like insp or enhancement ones) it can be.

It is kinda useless and too costy for my taste. I put one into my base, but as i have Pocket D teleporter reaching vault in there is easier for me.

Still nice to have one in base for non pD teleporter members.

As i have Bone Wings recipe on one of my characters and nobody wants it i decided to make a fallen angel concept villian.

First i thought about making him Rad/Dark, but i don't like Radiation Blast. Then made him as Ice/Dark this morning, kinda nice but still can't get near a good concept. While playing in Mid's Hero Designer i saw Assault Rifle and make a AR/Rad build. Radiation is good and solid one for me as i have a controller and defender. But Dark seems more nice for concept reasons.

What's bothering me is Endurance issues. If i recall correctly from Blaster set Assault Rifle have huge end cost. As Dark has no meaning of End Recovery i know i decided to ask you Villians.

Endurance bothering me because i am planning to solo mostly. On solo ability both Dark and Radiation have some control elements which will welcome on my side.

So in short, advices about AR/Dark. Is there some powers i should avoid in primary (that KB powers sounds really weird with anchoring secondaries).

Thanks before hand.

Heh no worries, it is nice set after all.

One thing you might want to know, i passed Shockwave in Devil's Chant's build but if you will solo get it. It can be your only damage mig. tool.

Give me a shout tonight and i can sk you in my frostfire mission. Raptor isn't needed as Forceward is an utility hero he has Recall Friend.

Cap is 15, and i need to be lvl 14 for invisibility. This is a defender not Illusion troller ^^. And again i choose Grant Invisibility instead of Stealth. But as you have a hero to ghost i can gladly join with Psy-knight whose need that badge still.

I hope i can find nice people to complete this one as that mission is a real pain in behind at that levels.

For 3 day teaming, i don't think that will make a great difference as leveling pace truns into a snail's after 30, they will have plenty time to catch us. And also keep TFs in mind.

EDIT= Oh for getting to lvl 12 you can join us tonight. Forceward is lvl 10 and will get Frostfire tonight. I am sure you will get one level in that mission.

Okay, as i have so much heroes for lvling as i said, maybe we can do something like that.

What do you say after Invasion if we team up 3 days of the week? Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. For two or three weeks.

Also if Forceward reach lvl 14 by the weekend we can do Caverns Trial.
