Can you give us a sample build that doesn't have Titan/Hami Enhancers in it?

Granted my Brute is only level 8, but currently he chomps down inspirations, has to use his self-heal every third battle or so, and in general isn't very effective in solo.

This is daunting me from playing the AT, so does it get better? All I hear about is how great Brutes are for Solo and I'm just not seeing it yet.

Discouraged and looking for answers.

Need to see your build first.

Energy/Energy...because as a seasoned Ice Tanker, I'm a glutton for Defense-armor punishment.

RE: Tankers...two things

- That's great you're looking into Unyeilding Stance...I'd like to introduce you to my friend, Rooted. He'd like to sidekick alongside US in US's adventure in change.

- Stone/Ice armor stacking is cool I guess...but what about endurance cost issues then? I already run 3 toggles as an Ice Tanker...5 would just kill me.

Both Archetypes have brand NEW power sets.

In fact, there's 16 Primary Powers and 16 Secondary Powers.

Yep. Not 9. 16.

And there's Shapeshifting. Of a sort....

[/ QUOTE ]

So...because of all the time being spent to make these new powers and ATs, basically I can kiss whatever chance Ice Armor had in being fixed in Issue 3 goodbye?

[ QUOTE ]
If this was a prelude to Issue 3, then it would have to drag out for a very long time, which would make the final release of the issue somewhat anticlamactic.


[/ QUOTE ]

I'll let you in on a little secret: this is story is just the tip of the Issue 3 story. Folks, this is the start of A Council of War.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can you kill the rumor about this being the 5th Column's exit event because NCSoft doesn't think that neo-nazis will go over well in Europe for it's upcomming release?

/rant on
Great...now I gotta deal with the vnBoards and the official boards spamming endless speculations and whines about these skills.

For once I'd like for when a developer announces a new feature that they divulge all available info about it, and put a big friggin' disclaimer at the top saying that all info is subject to change, but go ahead and discuss what we have here, instead of speculating and getting your hopes up over nothing.

/rant off

Sounds fun ^_^. Hope it's not too tedious, as in having some guy make a third party app to macro the crafting or skills instead of doing them manually (read: I hate DAoC tradeskills)

I am not saying you need to test things on Test server before bugging them, what I am saying is that if you are going to post something as a bug on the Training Room forums, please make sure that it is something that is a bug on the Training Room Server. These forums are to report things that are on the Training Room and being tested on the Training room.

Posting bugs that have only been seen on the Live servers in the Training Room forums, makes it very hard for us to see if the fixes being tested on the Training Room are working or not.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a pretty big deal.

Have the devs discussed a separate site for the TR forums? Or maybe just have them "hidden" lower in the forum listing?

[/ QUOTE ]

No way...such an elite aristocracy creates biasness and cuts players off from communication. DAoC has...their own private testing forums...and it really does suck to see devs only talking with a few individuals about issues affecting a couple hundred thousand players.

Keep this testing forum public...just ban the users who can't follow the rules as described above

I know what's in Update 3....



[/ QUOTE ]

Revamped Ice and Stone armor graphics, right?

....

....right?!!

[ QUOTE ]
There's no guarantee it will EVER come out, or even be remotely like the proposed changes that Statesman was mulling over. We could get a huge nerf, who knows.

Just forget about it and move on. Stop counting the days until you get your beanie hat with battery powered propeller

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty much how I look at most things with this game...the devs here usually come through with what they say in a decent time, unlike some other games where they might say something and won't get around to it for a year.

Just have patiance, Zero.

/sees Statesman fly by

/raises his "Ice Armor" sign high in the air and waves it

[ QUOTE ]
Sweet, I made a ice/mace tanker and so far he is rocking.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait...are you taking my response to be the truth? Nobody knows when it will come it....did you read all of States' post?

I'd guesstimate November.

[ QUOTE ]
We'll also be tuning down Trolls and Outcasts even more - to make them like Skulls and Hellions (fewer powers, etc.).

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh c'mon...I hated Skulls and Hellions because they lacked spice. Please don't give into those who want easy-mode

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Nope. Go to Atlas Park. Count the number of foes in a spawn. Go to Faultline. Count the number of spawns. Atlas Park - city zone. Faultline - Trial Zone.

[/ QUOTE ]

So then what is Peregrine supposed to be???? There are groups of 8+ Rikti on the beaches. Same goes for Nemesis and Possessed scientists.

[/ QUOTE ]

I suspect that at lvl 40, you should be powerful enough, smart enough, and capable enough to handle 8+ Rikti. That is, if you got to lvl 40 legitimatly (read: no power leveling...actually playing the game and learning tactics...adpating to situations...etc.)

Gang,
I'm holding off on touching Super Strength until we tackle a somewhat greater issue with Tankers - namely that they lack that "comic book feel." Specifically, you'd like to see Super Strength be something somewhat, well, "Hulk-ish." But currently, Super Strength is a poor cousin to Scrapper powers - which seems somewhat out of place. Don't worry - what we're looking at as a fix for ALL Tankers addresses this issue.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ummm just wanted to correct one thing. Currently SS is a poor cousin to most of the other TANKER secondaries. Scrappers are playing in a whole different game.

[/ QUOTE ]



I need to fix that....

[/ QUOTE ]

There we go

SS may be gimped compared to other attack powers, but it's certainly not the gimpest. SS is simply being sensationalized because it's the most popular (everyone and their brother wants to be their own Superman). If Ice Melee or any of the other secondaries was as popular as SS, then we'd have the same topic too.

[/ QUOTE ]

NO WE'RE MORE GIMPIER THEN YOU GODDA.....

Oh wait you're the one Ice Tanker playing this game.

My bad. You're gimper.



[/ QUOTE ]

Dang straight!

Carry on your little SS discussion

If they nerf my Fire/Dev blaster again after Smoke Grenade, I will be moving on to WoW.

Have fun!

Ditto

Sounds good to me, but I think ya'll should add an option that lets people surrender/forfeit missions so they can pick up other tasks in case something happens to the team on the multiple-task (or even regular) missions.
