First they nerf the damage, then the nerf the slow.

heh, I just did a Safeguard where I retreived a "Dragoon Ball".

So, just tie B drops to collecting 7 Dragoon Balls...

This way we can summon the Eternal Dragoon and get our wish granted!

* Some of the sets (the rarer ones), have parts of them that are only attainable by completing a Story Arc.

Here's my worry. There have been claims that you guys are working on a way for lvl 50s to be able to attain salvage that can only drop via story arcs (since 50s don't get story arcs anymore).

What confuses me is - how did you come up with this plan in the first place? You know there are level 50 characters. You know they can't do story arcs any more. Given those two truths you have to know that making certain salvage attainable only by completing story-arcs will essentially make that salvage all but unattainable for level 50s. Who thought this was a good idea, and why should I trust anyone who didn't see this coming to be able to come up with a solution that doesn't leave level 50s out in the cold?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the thought process here was the use of Auction Houses to cover level 50s and those that have already completed various Story Arcs. The backlash on the forums seems to have caused them to rethink this quite a bit and go back to drawing boards though.

Quick question... has anyone ever claimed to have solo'd Lusca in the game's modern incarnation? Even with nukes and Shivans, that -would- be a feat.

I did it on my storm/earth controller with one inspiration in my tray...

Okay, so that was a lie. Ah well, what are you gonna do?

I actually wanted to go with Drops II: Drops Harder

*sniff sniff*

Hmm. A faint odor of a positronic suit, there. Must be my imagination.

[/ QUOTE ]

No way, I would have gone with Drops II: Attack of the Drops.

Edited because I repeated what the poster above me said lol

I suspect we'll get -some- kind of rough map to follow for this stuff, though it may not be Dev-provided or available during the first week.

If you'd said Drops II: Secret of the Drops I would've given you so many bonus points.

[/ QUOTE ]

Drops II: The Drop Strikes Back. Much better Star Wars movie to reference IMHO.

[ QUOTE ]
I am listening to your ideas, but a Flashback system is simply not something we can implement in a timeframe you would all be happy with.

Instead we are looking into other options to get you the Pool B choice so level 50s don't feel gimped.

Here it is, they have heard and are working on it. Thanks Doc.

Yup, that does have a certain twist to it.

Doc, can we get a little clarification on "what parts" you are referring to that are only dropped by Story Arcs, Trials and Task Forces?

Are the "Parts of a set" each a different, exclusive part in the story arcs, trials and task/strike forces?

[/ QUOTE ]

From what I understood, if a set is a 5 piece set, you can get something like enough recipes for 4 of those sets by beating stuff up, but the recipe fo the fifth piece might be harder.

This would allow people to collect pieces of the set rather easily (thus getting some of the bonuses), but completing the set much trickier.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well that is the case for *some* of the sets.
* The majority of sets are available exclusively through defeating enemies. This means that all the pieces of the set are attainable by beating up things.

[/ QUOTE ]

And I would argue that NONE of the sets should be this way. As it unfairly punishes 50s, for whom Inventions was mentioned as a way to improve without raising the lvl cap.

[/ QUOTE ]

And I am not arguing against you there. He said he was talking to the design team about the Story Aspect of things, so we shall see. Good news is, it sounds like at least the majority of the content won't be unattainable for the moment.

Here is my question...I have Wet Ice, six slotted with defense, and grandfathered in. Is it going to be worth it to keep it instead of respeccing out of it? What about when my enhancements grey out, will it be worth it then instead of taking other powers?
