Quote:Perhaps I've been very unlucky, but I haven't received a shard drop yet. Doesn't seem too fast to me...Originally Posted by CapnBarcode
Actually, I think the drop rate is too fast as it is. I mean, I'm glad that I would be able to craft a common boost in a week or two by playing an hour a day if I wanted to, but it seems a bit fast for something that's supposed to be rare. -
Strangely enough, my Ice/Ice blaster got killed by Trapdoor this morning. I was using my standard tactic to lure him into the lava. I had Frozen Armor and two medium purples, and he proceeded to hit me every time. Just stupidly bad luck. The second time around, I wiped him out easily.

Quote:Why is that weird? I play three different MMOs solo. This game has far more content than any single player game that I'd like, it's quite soloable from 1 to 50, and it's a great superhero game.Originally Posted by Pedro Schwartz
The OP wants to play an MMO solo?
Weird..
Soloable incarnate content would be nice, along with the TFs and raids, but I'm not really concerned about that. End game stuff doesn't really interest me. -
Quote:Ha ha. No. The manga started first, and ran for 38 volumes. The anime sticks pretty close to around say the first half of the manga, but is sillier and has a number of silly filler episodes. For less silliness but still a lot of humor, and much more of the story, read the manga. But the anime is fun to watch too. Even though the anime lasted for seven seasons, it ended long before the manga did.Originally Posted by Durakken
you know i keep on forgetting Ranma 1/2... i thought it was only an anime...not a manga? but if it's both which is better and how much do they diverge?
Ranma 1/2 is my all-time favorite manga, with Urusei Yatsura a close second, and Claymore my current favorite.
(Sadly, Viz didn't get too far into the Urusei Yatsura manga before cancelling the US distribution.) -
Chirality? I've only seen that in Japan.
As usual, I'll recommend Claymore.
I just finished reading Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles. I'm not sure I would recommend that one. It's very interesting, but it's mind-bogglingly convoluted. CLAMP went way overboard on the plot complexity. (Ironically, by far the least complicated main character is the big ninja guy.) -
I fought Trapdoor three times now, and each time I simply lured him into the lava and clobbered him. Granted it helps a lot that all of my level 50 characters have Hover. I can fight Trapdoor and then talk to him without worrying about taking damage from the lava.
My Inv/SS tanker didn't even bother using inspirations. I just turned on Unstoppable and that was plenty. -
Quote:All except the Trapdoor mission. For some reason, the first EB fight can't be auto-completed.Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
Aren't all these missions autocompleteable anyway? Unlike, you know, the final missions of the patron arcs?
And of course I disagree with EvilGeko. IMO, all these missions should be able to be auto-completed. People will have plenty of opportunity for stuff that can't be auto-completed in the TFs. -
Quote:I'm aware of that, and I use it. (Thanks, previous post fixed.) It's too tiny of a heal to be helpful to me. I picked up Aid Self in a respec yesterday though, thanks to inherent Fitness. That should help reduce the downtime at least.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
A self heal was added to Energy Drain not that long ago. Seems aimed at being fired off with a good number of enemies around, as with just 1-2 it's not that big.
-
Electric/Energy brute. Mediocre defense with notable holes and a very weak self heal, and subpar damage for my style of play. I was hoping to find ways to compensate, since the combination does have nice status effect protection, but I just got tired of trying. Interestingly, my Stone/Energy brute does great, but she gets good damage mitigation from her primary. I set the difficulty on my Electric/Energy to -1/1, which is an improvement, but I still don't play her much. I'm sure I'm one of very few players who actually doesn't like Lightning Rod.
I was never particularly fond of Kheldians. I like my Peacebringer, weak though she is, but I play my Warshade very rarely. Warshades just don't work for me. -
Quote:You can buy it for Vanguard credits in the Vanguard base.Originally Posted by Red Valkyrja
Excuse me, but what is this 'Curse Breaker' everyone is speaking of?
Ironically, the Curse of Weariness would be the least of my worries in that mission. By level 50, my characters have great endurance management. I was hit with the Curse when I tried the mission during beta testing (with a Fire/Fire brute), and it didn't bother me at all. But I make liberal use of endurance reduction enhancements. -
As always, it will depend on how popular the new content is. They're obviously looking at the WoW style of endgame, with challenging team/raid content. That might draw a lot of players back to the game for a long time to come, because a lot of players have expressed an interest in the WoW-style end game stuff.
On the other hand, if the new Incarnate content can't keep CoH players interested, the devs might want to make the content accessible for more casual players (like me). Otherwise they'd just have to stop supporting it, because it wouldn't be cost effective for them. So if you want to keep the content challenging, your best bet is to help energize the playerbase, forming teams and taking on that new content often.
I won't mind if they stick with the TF/raid plan for Incarnates. I have plenty of other stuff in the game to keep me busy. -
Quote:I plan to play pretty much the same as always. Lots of alts. I have a couple level 50 characters I still play fairly frequently, but the rest are mostly retired. The Incarnate system doesn't give me much of an extra incentive to play at 50, since all the Incarnate mission content after the introduction will be in the form of TFs and raids. I don't do TFs and raids due to my extreme teaming shyness. (I'm very introverted.)Originally Posted by VoodooGirl
Will anybody play their alts anymore? Or will you be bogged down in getting your alts to level 50 and be torn about which one to give time to?
It will take me a long time to make boosts for the Alpha slot, due to my altitis, and all they'll do for me is to allow me to go through the standard missions a little faster. Whee. No hurry on that. -
Hey, I'd be right there with you... if not for my teaming deficiency.
*does more missions, hoping for shards to drop* -
My favorite character Yukihime is approximately pronounced like the English words "you key he may".

Quote:I'm stealing this since it's far more appropriate to the people who are actually doing the complaining here: namely, the people complaining that the bug got fixed. I drink your tears of anguish.Originally Posted by RadDidIt
Eh. Ptui. Tears are too salty. -
Quote:This was not a matter of the devs reducing the difficulty due to players complaining about the difficulty.Originally Posted by Jophiel
Lame. For those who could pound it, the mission was great fun. For those who couldn't, that's why they made -1/x0 and inspirations. Or auto-complete/abandon.
It was bugged. The bug got fixed. -
Quote:That's the one. Although Frostfire was easy to miss, in the cascade of Malta operatives. Now he should be a more noticeable part of the story.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
Is that the one with Frostfire?

Quote:Oh good. They finally fixed that bug. Your loss is my gain.Originally Posted by Sapphic_Neko
My favorite tip mission is destroyed and turned into the most boring one ever.
Malta gunslinger action figure. -
Quote:Yes, if you've got your recharge up that high, Ill/Rad is godlike before even beginning with the Incarnate stuff. You are an overpowered tankmage. My level 50 Ill/Rad doesn't have recharge anywhere near that high, and she still pwns any elite boss she runs into without needing to use any inspirations.Originally Posted by thedarkeone
I have taken several characters into the first mission of the incarnate arc and I have to say my Ill/Rad (perma RA, Hasten, PA, etc) just pwned everyone else's time in that mission.

Quote:Note that Forbin's science officer will now be taking extra damage from enemies returning fire up his rear. (Really. It's part of the game design.)Originally Posted by Sailboat
I desperately want an option to have the fiery breath power emanation point be from a character's rear end.

Quote:The basic issue of his argument is that the mission can be incredibly annoying due to the mechanic of the humongous Rikti horde (and note that it's a horde that offers no rewards). Techbot did manage to defeat the elite bosses, so his tactics worked out in the end, and he didn't need help. He didn't manage to complete the mission only because he got disconnected at the end.Originally Posted by Zekiran_Immortal
It still can't possibly explain why you didn't seek help on it. Or use actual tactics, as has been the basic issue with your argument.
(Personally, I have no complaint against the annoying aspects of the mission, as long as I can auto-complete the mission.) -
Quote:I was able to auto-complete the Honoree mission last night, and I was also able to auto-complete the finale in beta testing. However, I couldn't auto-complete the Trapdoor mission.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
For what it's worth, I wasn't given the option to drop any of the arc at any point when I ran it last night. Running it again tonight on a different character.

Quote:That would be nice. I don't have nearly that many Vanguard merits on hand, but I could always get lucky with the shard drops.Originally Posted by Smersh
I... actually disagree.
After I unlocked the slot, I did one tip mission, and then did the arc again with my wife, so she could unlock her slot.
We run at +2x6, but by the end of the evening, I had four Incarnate shards and a Grai Matter in my inventory (had some leftover Vanguard merits.)
I think that, even solo, it shouldn't be all that onerous. -
Quote:I agree with that. Lady Grey does give you good warning that things will get nasty. And since the previous mission featured an EB fight, the warning should should be enough to leave you expecting a real challenge.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
You mean besides Lady Grey saying it's going to be tough - as in warning you to bring friends?

Quote:Well, that's just part of your nature as an Evil geko.Originally Posted by EvilGeko
I like the Ramiel arc. However, in my complete a-hole moments (i.e. 92.45% of the time) I do wish the devs had made every mission in that arc non-droppable. I wouldn't even let you abandon it. You either get a team, succeed or be reminded of your failure until you do it.
*cackle* BWA HA HA HA HA!!!! *snort*
But I wouldn't be "reminded of my failure", because for me there's no failure in skipping content that I don't like. I don't consider myself a failure because I don't go into the PvP zones, and I don't consider myself to be a failure because I don't do TFs. If I couldn't auto-complete those missions, I simply wouldn't bother with the Incarnate stuff at all. As it is, I don't expect to get much of anything out of the system anyway.
