    Exactly. And then there are people like je saist that basically just stated since the OP hasn't played the TF, he shouldn't be discussing it. Which makes zero sense.

    The OP asked a valid question, something I also wondered. Assuming the new content is still balanced around SOs in addition to the Alpha Slot, wondering how difficult it really is makes sense. Because a fully IO'd out character will still be more powerful than a character slotted with SOs and the Alpha Slot.

    I'm looking forward to it, I'm hoping it is stupid hard. I'm very optimistic too. So hopefully Tuesday I get to try it out on live.
  2. I'm thinking you got some bad info. This requirement makes no sense.

It'll just effectively lock some people out of getting the badges on their badgers.

    I'd rather have the badge awarded for TFs you do under the current minimum team size. That way it's a bit better balanced between ATs and builds.
    If someone can't do the task, I see nothing wrong with them not getting a badge.

    Check out the global channels on Freedom too. When I'm looking to team(not often), that is what I do.

    This hardly a doom thread. A question was asked. Though I suppose this could turn into a doom thread depending on who gets involved.

    Between Ninja Run and the Raptor Pack I never take a travel power anymore unless it fits a very specific need or theme. My /SR scrapper will keep SS just because his thing is running fast, so the speed cap is important.

    So between Ninja Run, Raptor Pack, and Fitness inherent, my characters have essentially received five new power picks each over the last few months!

    I think these changes will actually lead to more variety. Sure more and more people have Fitness and Raptor Packs now, but that allows for greater variety in builds.

    There are so many different ways I can try to build my DM/SR Scrapper now because of those changes(and the Alpha Slot) that I don't see characters losing their uniqueness.

    As to the relevance, it explains when we can expect to see the higher tiers of the Alpha slot.
    I was a little snarky earlier, my apologies.

    I'm just stomping my feet because I want it all now. We did wait several more months and now I don't get those delicious top end bonuses for more months.

    Now I'm torn on if I want to respec my builds to maximize what we have available now or use incomplete builds waiting for the rest of the Alpha Slot bonus to come at a later time.

    edit:

    This is what somebody else posted in another thread:

    Sorry for any confusion,

    Alpha Slot Info

    Your comment wasn't even slightly helpful since there has been a lot of activity in the last few hours.

    If you were referring to TheOcho's explanation on the bad info then I don't really see how that is relevant.

    Alpha Slot Info

    From Zombie Man's guide:

    Quote:
    Expectation Check

    The official web site lists the four tiers of Alpha Boost (common, uncommon, rare, and very rare). In Issue 19, only the first two tiers are available to be crafted and slotted. The other tiers are for later Issues in the same way the other nine Incarnate Ability Slots are for later Issues.
    Well this is extremely lame. Looks like we gotta wait even longer to get all of the Alpha Slot.
  9. /signed. The broken Task Force mechanics have needed a fix for a long time. People should be able to start solo TF if they want.

    Now in all fairness if you are getting 'ripped off' it is because you're bidding wrong. Plan ahead, place low bids, be patient and you'll get the salvage you want at a reasonable price.

    Yes it does. The majority is always right. For example Emperor Cole's side is the majority in Praetoria and they are obviously the right side.

    And the one example I gave trumps anything reasonable or real you can come up with. Now excuse me while I put my fingers in my ears and start yelling so I can't listen anymore.

    I speak only from articles read online, since this isn't a factor of the game I participate in.

But, I have never heard of this system of EXP being revoked.
    Back when AE first hit the Rikti Comm Officer exploit was the big thing. Some people were getting from 1-50 in a couple hours. From what I have gathered some of the worst offenders had those characters XP removed or taken away. Not sure of the specifics or of any specific person this happened too.

    From what I understand that was only done to the 'worst' offenders and was rare. Now this is all speculation from the boards, so there is not telling how accurate it is. But considering Posi's rant on the subject the rumors do seem to make sense.

    Now in all fairness the poster didn't put anything out there I couldn't have gathered from AP in like two minutes. But it was new info to me, so I was curious.

    Get over it.

    You want to know how to really help?

    If you know the number of an exploit farm, REPORT it and move on.

    BMWing on the forums helps no one.
    I can agree with this. Also, people should avoid posting any details about exploit farms on the forums. Somebody did it in this thread and I was able to find it just using that information. This one is bad too, I expect it to be dealt with the next patch or I19 release.

It's not really a judgement of powergaming, at least not in my case, just a statement.

    I can understand your point of view, but I'm not sure this thread is a condemnation of powergaming. Any more than it is (as the OP apparently intended) a condemnation of the AE.
    You're right. I'm not mocking everybody, just a few of the posters that seem to take the view that I disagree with(and hopefully I made my view obvious).

    I primarily play Scrappers with defense as their primary mitigation, so when I'm facing large mobs of Nemesis I struggle with the Lt. dropping vengeance and the DE eminators that give the +100% to hit buff(forgot their name).

    Actually I'm doing no such thing. I never told anybody not to knock other people's opinions. So let's try to be honest and not completely make stuff up. Do you think you can handle that, or am I asking too much from you?

    I'm simply mocking some of the posters in this thread. It's pretty obvious, but you don't seem to be interested in what I'm actually posting. You are much more interested in putting words in my mouth and making stuff up. Way to go there turbo.
