    Quick Question

    With the slight nerf to the damage Shield Charge gives....what if you made a Brute that is elec/sheild? I figured whatever changes in damage they did to the sheild charge, the Fury inherent in brutes would compensate once you get it built up.
  2. First it was the Fire/Kin Controller, but they nerfed that. My Elec/Shield Scrapper used to be able to hold his own in a group of baddies set for 8 people with no bosses, and could manage with bosses in there, but now he gets hit like he has no defenses at all. So I ask, what is the newest best type of toon to make before I waste time and inf on a toon that will suck!!!
  3. With less than 2 weeks to go until GR launch, when will us who prepurchased Going Rogue get access to the beta testing?

They have a reason for who they are inviting.
    There was no need to be a ********.
  5. Is this new issue 18 going to be released before or after GR?
  6. We all are waiting for Going Rogue, so stop working on Booster packs for right now and get all devs to work on GR. I don't know about everyone else but I for one would rather have GR than these little boosters...and you all already had to push back the release date for GR. I find it sad yall gave us a specific date in July for release, then you pushed the date back and out comes this booster which isn't really all that impressive. GET TO WORK ON GR SO WE CAN GET IT.
  7. Frankly, they throw in 2 costumes that arn't really all that impressive, 3 emotes, and 1 power....and expect to make 10 dollars for it? These are things that Cryptic would put in the game for free with the release of the different issues. They want to charge us 10 dollars for something that experienced people could create in a weekend, and then make it out to be a big deal with beta testing. As I said, the things they add in this game aren't really worth 10 dollars.

    Gr cb

    ok, They set the release date for GR in July. Which is only 3 weeks away. I would like to know when the tier 3 testing will start.
  9. What gives, this is the longest CB I've ever seen. It's almost going on 2 months long now....

    The reverse happened to me, I received the mail saying I was in CB...but I couldn't get in. I talked to Avatea in PM and she said I wasn't in the CB list at all....
  11. Who thinks i17 OB will start this tuesday?

    Good for you two. It is my experience though that most Power Gamers do not play that way. Soloing or teaming only with their second accounts goes against their nature of getting "Bigger, Better, More!"

    So why am I complaining about how other people play? Because it now affects me. My problem involves the Power Gamers and "Marketeers", which are simply Power Gamers with a secondary costume on, is the way they have inflated prices with their gaming. Those actions only hurts the vast majority of the players on this game who play more recreationally, but will never have a chance of "plumming out their toons" thanks to the Uber Gamers (my slang to encompass Power Gamers and Marketeers if you will).

    I like playing the higher content, TFs/SFs, Trials, etc . . . but I can not hope to compete with the Uber Gamers thanks to their style of play. Which is the reason I gave up on PvP a long time ago and may well be the reason it is almost dead in this game (at least here on Guardian Server).

    If anything I have said here upsets anyone reading this, I would refer you to my signature below.
    I don't like the marketeers either. They make everything WAY overpriced. It's hard enough to make 2 bil influence so the last thing I wanna do is spend months making influence for 1 or 2 recipes. Thats crazy. I think there needs to be an extreme limit per item in WW that you can sell things for. Now I'm not talking where you can sell a purple for 10-20 mil or even 50 mil, but to price something at 400-900 mil or over a bil for 1 recipe...that needs to stop.

    And as for "nothing left", you should try actual STORYs in AE. Yeah, a lot of them won't give max influence because of all the nerfs (which were only there to begin with because of samarai farms and the like, funny how that works!), but it'll be something new and different. play a few then roll your tickets and sell your drops. Boom, instant influence.

    Of course, if you want purples, run radios in PI. One or two should drop eventually. And since you're so in love with your story-less Sammi farms, radios shouldn't bother you much.
    I actually wrote a story for the samarui mission. It's just noone bothers to READ it. As noone bothers to read ANY mission anymore. Cause every mission both AE and Regular missions are the same. Go in, kill everyone (maybe click on some glowies) and exit mission. There is no need to read the mission breifing or clues or anything b/c you do the same thing over and over again. It would be nice if they threw in some puzzles that you have to solve to finish the mission instead of just clicking "next" or closing windows to continue on.

    There was a time when there was no market. If you wanted that last piece of salvage to create... Oh wait, there were no inventions either. You just had to play the game, do missions, and hope for enough influence to buy a Single Origin Enhancement. Or you had to do hami raids for dual effect ehancements.

    If you are a complainer at heart, then there will always be something to complain about. Get over it, get on with your game playing, and let everyone use the game as they see fit. If you don't like how much a "hydraulic piston" costs on WW, then go do some AE missions and buy common salvage with your tickest. IF you don't like that a respec recipe costs $3 billion influence (not an actual number), then go do one of the respec task forces or run high level missions and hope for the drop.

    I like to farm, leave me alone. I do it with my dual accounts, by myself and get drops to build ehancement for my entire SG. I don't do it to let noobs get to higher levels and then they don't know how to play the game. The way I play doesn't effect anyone else. Stop complaining.
    AMEN!!! I'm the same. I don't play on teams, I am a solo player except for the TFs and that is only for getting the badges. I only farm my own toons on my 2 accounts. Thats all.

    I meant we get no rewards for customizing a mission in AE. They might as well remove the custom critter creation tool out of AE.

    I don't level toons, I have 2 accounts fully stocked with 50s. I'm trying to get influ so I can make them strong. B/C at 50, it's the only thing left to do. PvP sucks, noone does the Hami raids anymore, and every now and then I stumble on a Ritki Raid. Theres nothing left but the persuit of Influence for the purples or the best enh. Base pimping is boring mainly b/c the DEVS have pretty much abandoned bases.

    The latest AE nerf, as near as I can tell, should have had no effect whatsoever on the Samurai farms. Samurai farms went out of style with the custom critter power controls and custom group minion / lt / boss rules.
    No, the xp was cut down abit, but at the time I was still getting 10k-15k a person, twice.

    I recreated the samauri mission with an actually storyline for the mission. And if the devs think I was trying to make a farm mission, I wasn't. There are many comics and cartoons where the heroes were fighting villains that would get back up after they were knocked down.

    And my Samauri mission managed to get 999+ votes and still popular. Until this ********.

    If they are gonna be so strict as to how we use the AE system. they might as well just take it out of the game completely? It was put in so WE could make our own missions and storylines. But WE can't b/c we can only create content the DEVS want us to make and nothing outside of that. So there goes originality.

    Ae nerf

    Ok, now they have gone WAY too far. They have made AE to the point noone really benefits to use it.

    You give us the ability to make customer critters...but if we don't make the CUSTOM critter exactly the way you devs want us to (which doesn't really make it all the customizable) then you take are rewards away.

    I went in there today and was soloing a mob in the samuari mission at level 54 set for 8. I was getting one 1 ticket at a time, and was only averaging 1000-3000 influence. That is pathetic. Why waste my time with AE anymore.

    AE is supposed to be our missions, our critters. But we can't make anyone the way we want.

    In the meantime, thank you for your patience while our developers work hard (and don't take naps) at smoothing things out so you can experience Issue 17 in all its glory!
    No offense, but you didn't mention the people in CB. I bet most are just playing the game, whereas people like me would send in any and all bugs we find. But anyway, thanks for giving credit to the beta testers.
  20. Cause I just read it. Let me be astonished that we got a release date for once instead of the trademark soon
  21. Atleast we know that Going Rogue will be released sometime in July. Finally an actual release month.
  22. I'm posting this here cause the training room thread is like a ghost town.

    I copied my toon yesterday morning, as of now it's still not copied. What gives.
  23. I set 2 of my toons to copy to test server yesterday morning. It still hasn't happened as of today. What gives?

    AE Hall of Fame

    It just sucks, I checked and including mine, there are only 8 hall of fame missions in AE.

    AE Hall of Fame

    I was told along time ago that AE missions that made it to the hall of fame will be able to choose between regular drops and tickets. I finally made the 5 star hall of fame, but It's not giving me the choice. And I was told this by many people.
