  1. Just got my Beasty! Wooohoo! Forcing myself to forget about his busted aggro. Looking at his bio mugshot..it is like Lassie. Come on guys, update it from the normal dig picture, something a lil more badass?
  2. I dont think that will work Did they REALLY not consider this when doing the new and old DA? SIlly question..it would seem...of course not.
  3. A friend is on a citadel TF, with a rogue toon. The last few missions are in DA..the echo of DA. Is there any way to actually get there..on a rogue? I can't think of any besides hero oro, hero base tf. She said mission tp didn't work.

    Any ideas?

    One, something always happens. There's always something that pops up because tons more people play on Live than Beta, therefore the chance of stumbling upon certain bugs rises by a lot due to being in a much more active and diverse player environment. Not to mention updates always tend to react differently went put on live servers than they do when put on Beta.

    Two, they have to get the update out some time. If they spent all their time fixing bugs, we'd be seeing issues with far less content being slowly churned out over far more time. Locating and then finding a suitable solution to fix these glitches isn't always as simple as putting a band aid on it. Just gotta take the good with the bad, and at least the team has said they will be busting out a fix for it.
    Load of twaddle. You say more people are on Live than Beta. Duh. It is Live for a reason. But you know...the broken UB was STILL reported on beta, so exactly how does your argument about less people there mean anything?

    Yes, you are right, these is a lot more chance of finding a bug when something goes Live. Not to sound like a stuck record, but are you honestly telling me that after they added i22 to the Live server build, they could not, or would not, spend THIRTY minutes to do a quick, basic in house test? You know..like roll a few characters with dark affinity and see the powers are wrong?

    'If' they spent all their time fixing bugs? Oh, so..having them 'busting' out a fix, for the bugs that went Live..does not count as them..you know..spending time fixing bugs? Uh huh.
  5. Totally not attacking you Damz but does what you just said make ANY sense? Yes, let's not take action on feedback and release a bug free update. Instead, let's just not fix what was KNOWN before hand..and push it out the door anyway? Really..if they said..'oh Issue 22 will be held back a week, to fix some last minute bugs,' surely that would be better?
  6. Getting a little sick of saying this but...these bugs, should they have gone Live? Pretty sure the Umbral beast was bugged on Test. What about fixing that BEFORE it went Live? Dark Affinity was one of the major points of i22..what about CHECKING that it works fine on live, before putting the servers back up?

    Takes a week to fix fade and sa referencing the wrong versions? Come on. Maybe the pet AI is a harder issue but again..isn't that what test is for?
  7. Ah ha..sorry I misread you. Mind you, does make more sense this way..since I was wondering how you could claim that (what I thought) with a straight face. lol
  8. Ok Zwill..you caught me out. I was not actually USING whirlwind to farm. ANd I had a windfall active..hence the 12 purples.
  9. As we all know, often when we dc, crash, or the servers go Boom (see: right now), whatever you were doing prior can get rolled back, resetting missions, xp etc.

    So..what did you all just lose?

    Personally..I was just farming +5/10 elite bosses on my flying stone tank with whirlwind, and had JUST found 12 purples in a 5 min period. I will be PISSED if I log back in and they are gone..
  10. This could be a record! ALMOST one whole week since i22, and this is the first server issues we have had? I call it a total win.
  11. Dc'd about 5 times in the past hour. Join a citadel tf..dc. Now I am in the queue...even though the server has 2 yellow dots. And there is now 664 people in the queue..guess it was not just me.
  12. So we have...12/14 (or whatever, too lazy to count) servers to select from. I play mostly on Freedom and Virtue, and if I log into Freedom first, then go to move over to Virt later on..I return to the server selection and what do I find...

    I have to SCROLL.

    Why? Why can't we just have ALL the servers in the list at once? Change the 'box' and make it have an inch higher, so the other 2 fit into it. Sure..it is taking a whole 3 seconds, if that, too scroll down..but it still annoys me.
  13. Not to be negative..but...

    I don't really have a fav, so I will.

    The energy melee 'fix' that really should have scorched the souls of the people who typed the word FIX into the patch notes...My em/da brute went from being my most played toon, to banished to some dead server.

    Badge Missions

    I posted threads about these is teh Discussion area already but..


    1. If you do the DA arcs as say, a duo, and stack the missions as you go, the Accomp badges will NOT award to the second person, unlike every other badge mission in game.

    2. Sometimes the mission for person 2 will NOT have any location on the map..meaning you can not 'not' autocomplete it, then go do it again to get badges for person 2.

    3. Sister Sol's badge mission is buggy as hell. Did it as a duo again, getting the badge for 'my' mission. Then, we selected my friends mission, did that and she did NOT get the badge, in spite of doing exactly the same thing.

    4. The new hero arcs in Steel canyon. Did Sun Xiongs badge mission as part of a team, without having teh mission myself. I entered the mission first, then when we killed him...I got the badge, no one else. Not even the mission holder.

    All these things I have petitioned and got replies for from support, saying that they are not working correctly (since I couldn't figure THAT out myself). Just letting people know..since it is REALLY annoying on some of these long and tough missions.
  15. Viridian for sure. His arc has so many cool missions and the Council one with the 6 AVs..one of the best in the game. Also obscure because it is a lot harder to get the badges to unlock him, as a villain. ALL my heroes switching sides, ended up with him open right away when I came across.
  16. A reward merit vendor..Ok..so then, if you do NOT already have all the salvage for whatever your buying, do not have Base Tp, do not have a portable crafting table, do not have /vault and /auctionhouse commands....you know what happens? You have to zone somewhere else anyway. Given that WW/BM has a merit vendor RIGHT there already, and some are near universities...
    Pretty sure there is quite a few people without all the above..who would end up having to zone anyway.

    How about..a reward merit vendor AND some kind of mystical oro-y crafting table? That makes more sense.

Besides, it would be one More thing to take away from their resources available for things like new issues and actual requested QoL stuff (IE: feedback from beta/test).
    How can you say that half the community would prefer an NC made builder, than Mids? The people who use Mids, love it. Never meet anyone who tried it and didnt like it. And the people who dont use it..I am sure a good portion of them would not actually KNOW about it.

    And..how would NC adopting Mids show favortism, when as just pointed out..there is a whole forum section for builds! That shows they are pretty fine with it. It is no different to a Dev posting a comment about asking Arcanaville something, or Zwill wanting a build for his scrapper. Or does that show that he is showing preference to the guy who won?

    Surely them sponsoring Mids would allow them to GIVE more resources to other things? Since them developing a build tool would you know..take some work? Not to mention that I have never had a single bug with Mids..and given how buggy some things have been lately....thanks but no thanks. I'll be sticking with Mids.
  18. I agree it is a concern. The changes are amazing, I admit. But having such a difference in the AS animations is silly. Especially considering..since they DID the changes, you would think it could make sense to have gone through and also balanced the animations..at the same time..
  19. I got the same thing..BUT..only when doing the arc with a hero. On the 2 vills I have taken through, the markers were in the right spots.

    As someone else said..also had the overhead map markers in the right spots, just the..in game..one at her feet.
  20. Playing a dark dom atm. I heard a lot of bad stuff about haunt, on the forms and in channels. But hey..they look cool..gotta try it once.

    And looking at the numbers..they seem pretty good. Didnt think the animation was as slow as I was hearing.

    But..

    I was just doing Grahams arc, in steel, his final mission. As each Tsoo boss went from 'npc' to 'enemy' I would have them pre selected and then use dark grasp as soon as I could. In this way, most did not even get an attack off on me. So, last boss, and I hold him, then use haunt, before starting to blast away.

    What do I see?

    Because the boss went right from npc to Held, and didnt actually aggro onto me..it seems the Shades dont see him as a threat either..and they just floated back over and stayed by me, NOT attacking. Even if I moved close to him..they wouldnt fight, as long as I kept him held (which is kinda the idea on a dom!).

    I remember reading about the haunts not taking aggro, on test. Is this the same thing? Did the set really go live which such an annoying mechanic?

    If I had known in advance that playing as an NPC was required, I might have chosen not to play the DA arcs at all. That warning was not given; it's too late now.

    Duuuuh. Derp. Bang head against wall. Beat the dead horse. You are NOT forced to do the personal missions. Your are NOT required to play as an NPC. No warning was giving because..again..it is NOT forced or required. Seriously. Get off your high horse about the stupid 'problems' you are suffering, that no one else can see.

    On my 3rd toon running through DA..I do the personal missions at the end of ALL the contacts. Wow, better alert support I am somehow cheating and bypassing those evil evil personal arcs.

    Vorpal

    It is awesome. BUT

    It really really needs to be unclickable without a target selected. It is too easy to accidently hit and waste it. Especially if lag means you are not 'actually' facing where it appeared.

    Also..Vorpal. The name itself. Vorpal sword in alice in wonderland..vorpal says lethal damage to me. Yet..it is smashing? I say change it all to lethal and give us a 'proper' smashing pbaoe ground slam type judgement.


    Oh, and to get a REALLY good look at it (since it is easy to miss teh effects) use it on the rooftops on ITF, helps if no one else is around. It looks insane.
  23. Lol, way to change your tune. One minute it is..oh no way they can change it at all without breaking things totally..and now you are just saying that it isnt a priority.

    Even if your other argument, about it 'seeming' to be intentional was not just stupid..would it really be the first time they put something in game that 'they' wanted a certain way, only to have the players complain..and it got fixed? It sure wouldnt. Not saying it would not involve a new physics engine etc etc..but your flat out assertion that just cause something would take effort to fix, then wont fix it...is just..wrong in the face of evidence.
  24. The mission owner..that makes no sense. Because the mission owner (not me) did NOT get teh badge..but I (a random lvl 50 on the team) DID, when I couldnt talke to sun xiong anyway.
  25. Just to go on in a similar vein to your posts in the Ragdoll Thread..

    No, your ideas wont work. There is no possible way they can fix, change, update, rollback the pet AI in ANY way without totally breaking something else. I can guarantee it!

    There...see how utterly unhelpful that kinda reply is?
