Quote:Look, I've since realized I've been on the wrong frequency about the whole solo thing, so I'm well aware of what's coming and what's not. I'd appreciate if you didn't assume things about what I say just to bolster your own point.Originally Posted by Eiko-chan
Taking a test is not a group activity, as are band, choir, and sports. You didn't say it, but you implied it.
My argument remains, regardless of what you think I "implied":
Until I20, the only way to get the upper Alpha tiers is to do the WST, something that not all of us have time for/want to do (I fall in the former). When I20 drops, there will be more options. Being told to forget it or wait is, quite honestly, a real dick move. -

Solo options are not coming with i20. Please stop spreading the misinformation that they are.

Quote:I picked up on re-aligning my jumps pretty quick, in all fairness. There were a few times I manages to get my team to laugh at my failure to control my character though.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
The way I see it, altough I love the inherent Fitness pool, now I HAVE to take Hurdle and I find it to be a pain, even unslotted. Why is that? Because..... I had it perfectly figured out how far I needed to be away from something to land on it.
NOT ANYMORE! Now I am leaping all over the place like some latter day rabbit on steroids, even with Hurdle unslotted. This is most noticeable in missions such as Trapdoor's, where I have to jump down twenty vents in the floor to progresss through the map - and in a tight space, at that.
I'd be fine with nerfing Hurdle and buffing Swift. People who SJ are way too catered-to in this game and Flight needs a little love. For people who love to jump, their stuff has no downsides. Can Flight say the same? We all know the answer.

Quote:And with the only other option being to wait for I20, you can also say "and if you want to graduate by taking a written test for those courses you have to wait until summer school starts."Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
No teaming? You don't get the extra enhancements, pseudo-levels and powers. You get to stay a junior, going back to the school metaphor. Doesn't matter if you're getting straight As in your classes, even taking AP/prep courses, *you don't play baseball/play in band, etc, you don't graduate.* )
(I know there's no written test for a sports course, but there can be for band/choir, so if you're going to try to cite me on that one you can stow it.) -
Without knowing the context of this image... Maybe this is similar to the bug causing Bane Spider Executioners to be Arbiters.

DM/Fire Brute
Claws/Fire Brute

Give those a shot; tons of damage, and the /Dark will provide some fun survivability. Remember, with /Dark and /Fire they have to kill you twice! -
Quote:Because sometimes you can't find people to do the team content. During my time in #1 Fantasy MMO I worked a job that only afforded me playtime in the wee hours of the morning. Guess what?Originally Posted by Malkore
Is this thread for reals? I am all about making people complete tf/sf's or even raids to get certain alpha components. This is an MMO, why would everything be obtainable solo?
I couldn't do crap because all the content that would improve my character required a team, and (surprise!) no one's on at 3 in the morning in World of-- I mean #1 Fantasy MMO.
The reason you're hearing all this uproar is because, up until now, getting to "the top" as it were was a soloable thing, especially with the introduction of V/A-merits. Now, we are being forced to team if we want to continue to "the top." And don't give me that "Well just don't team/just wait for I20" garbage. Being told to sit out until later is insulting, especially when we were promised a way to solo the Incarnate content. Yeah, sure, it'll come in I20, but it's a kick in the pants to be told "well other people can do it right now, just not you since you have a job/have a kid/have real-life obligations." -
Nin/Nin Stalker from 17 to 36 (Holy crap NB is fun, so is /Nin!)
Arch/TA Corr from 1-24 in a day(!)
Ice/Ice Dom from 1-18
DB/Will Brute from 38-41
Emp/Elec 'Fender from 1-18
All in all a damn good run! -
What I want to know is whether or not power tray layout data is stored server-side or client-side (forgive me if this is a known thing).

Title says it all; I can't connect.

No, it's about you wanting to change the powers.

Quote:So... you're trying to rationalize a game by using real life as an example, or at least something similar.Originally Posted by Vanden
It's inconvenient to have to jump everywhere to get there faster. Yes I know you can use Sprint, but why should I have to spend endurance to run as fast as I jump? Since when is running more tiring that jumping?
How much more efficient IS jumping than running? What's the difference in MpH?
This really ought to be a non-issue, since the majority of this thread doesn't care. If it's really a problem for you Vanden, file a bug report.
I certainly hope they fix other things first, like Mastermind Pet AI. Or does that not "inconvenience" you? -
Quote:How exactly is your issue an inconvenience?Originally Posted by Vanden
Inconvenience isn't balance.

Subjective:
Electric Blasts need to be turned down. A lot. I hate playing electric blasters/fenders/dominators because all I hear is ZEEEEEEEM and FRRZEEEEEP and TSS TSS TSS BLERZRGT and a whole slew of hissing and squeaking.
More screams in Sonic Blast, less crazy noises and honks/howls.
All snipe powers need a rise in pitch, not just a steady noise in line with their individual theme. -

Quote:I understand quite well how the system works, chief. No need to talk down to me or treat me like I don't know what's up.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Shards are still obtainable through non-Strask Force methods just as they were to get to Tiers 1 & 2.
And just like one or two LGTF or ITFs were enough to craft up to Tier 2, then, if you want the upper tiers quickly, than it's 6 Strask Forces to get to Very Rare instead of 4. Otherwise, it will take longer with any other 'normal' level 50 content.
But, for that sweet, sweet Level Shift, if you already have your Tier 2 and have been playing level 50 content and have a bunch of spare shards; then the first Tuesday the Targeted Strike starts, you will need only do one Strask Force and bam!, you're Level Shifted.
What happens with the other slots has been responded to by Black Scorpion and has been roundly discussed in the other threads.
Let me rephrase: If the WST isn't a level 50-enabled task/strike, isn't that a bit of an inconvenience? I mean, we can't have an option to get both shards and Well favors/notices during the same run? They're both for the same goal, right?
Chalk that one up to convenience, but with the way this game's been in the past you'd think the path of least resistance would still be the way to go (CoP trial notwithstanding). -

Ummm.... well... I once had a job where my only responsibility was staying awake from 11 at night to 7 in the morning... to pass the time I created my own role playing game.... basically a Professional Wrestling combat system..
By the time I was done it was 136 hand-written pages in a notebook.
So yeah.... good guess. -

So precious that a few extra seconds completely alters everything you can do during that time?
Gotta love this generation. Everything needs to happen right this instant.
If I'm playing I don't want to waste time, I want to PLAY.
Once more, good sir, just if someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they walked up and pissed in your cornflakes. You shouldn't treat is as such (and you really ought to get off your pedestal). -
Quote:You make fair points, although my question remains unanswered.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
To advance your Alpha Slot from 40% of what it can so (Tier 2) to 90% of what it can do (Tier 3), all you need to do is 1 (one) Task/Strike Force.
If you want to wring out all of what the Alpha Slot can do with 100% of its benefits (Tier 4), you need to do 3 (three) more Task/Strike Forces. Since you can only get the Notice of the Well once per week, and the targeted Strask Force changes each week, that means if you're really going to go for that final 10% of the Alpha Slot, you'll need to do a total of 4 (four) *different* Strask Forces. Then you will be done for that toon's Alpha Slot. The end.
That is not the breathless "grinding the same content til your eyes bleed" that you make it out to be.
And to anticipate the usual altaholic's lament: The game is not balanced around 40 alts. If you have that many alts, you need to do that much work 40 times over, just like you have to level up to 50 forty times over.
One Strask Force for the real meat of the Alpha Slot. Three more *different ones* for a relatively much smaller tweak and completion.
If that makes your eyes bleed, then there isn't a MMO on the market that will satisfy you. -

I can't comprehend how a weekly incarnate strike target might end up being sub-50 content.Does that shed any light on the issue?Quote:Originally Posted by Avatea
Characters who successfully complete a Weekly Strike Target will receive a once-a-week gift of double merits for completion based upon the typical undiminished merit reward for the content, and a grant of up to a third, half, or two-thirds of their entire level of XP (based upon the relative length of the content). Characters who have unlocked their Alpha Slot will also receive a Rare “Notice of the Well” Incarnate Component. -
