in 1 week of running the trials i have tier 3 judgement, destiny, and interface and tier 4 of lore
the toon i did this on did have 225 shards and a ton of inf stockpiled pre i20, so i unlocked the slots almost immediatly on first day
i still regularly convert shards to threads since shards are all but useless to me since i have the tier 4 alpha that i want on 6 toons
to make it easier for solo people they should give an option to convert shards to threads (1 shard for 1 thread), or something basically on smaller ratios than requiring 10 shards to do a conversion
converting shards to threads and using those to unlock the slots is not that hard overall, but trying to use shards for everything in the new slots would be way way too much (and expensive has heck lol)
just converting 225 shards to threads and those threads to xp prolly cost around 365-380 mil (didnt keep track of exact number) -
Quote:part 1 of the new posi still has no AVs lolOriginally Posted by Wicked_Wendy
Exactly! Now they changed Posi but if you were around back before it was split into two shorter TFs it was the only task force that had no AV. The thing took hours to complete back then since no one had a travel power before 14, raptor packs didn't exist, and neither did mission teleporters. Some people actually split it up over two days and there were times when a single team member would log on and do missions by him or herself just to speed things along. It WAS actually possible for one person to complete the TF solo. -
snow storm is mostly for aoe mob control and such, its alright with AVs, but all you really need in cold dom is benumb, sleet, and heat loss, benumb
its honestly really hard to describe how awesome all 3 of those powers are and they will all but destroy hard targets even if your the only debuffer on team -
Quote:i think your confusing BAF with lambda, you cannot kill the guard towers in BAF lolOriginally Posted by Techbot Alpha
What? Since when? The mobs have never dissapeared when running BAF for us on Union? We tend to make a point of sweeping everything, turrets included, before even thinking about going inside.
as per the OP, i focused more on unlocking the slots because it was so easy to get the boosts and i rather be able to slot a tier 1 instead of going without until it unlocks on its own, i had judgement, lore, and interface unlocked on the first day due to stockpiled shards and inf and then used every thread i got to convert to xp until i had all the slots unlocked -
ive had the issue that Fred has had with the random corrupt .pigg file a few times
ive had the issue where the entire league got booted from the trial for mapserve then when attempting to rejoin it says "cant find map(####)"
ive also had extremely long load times into the new trials (oddly enough BAF is better than lambda for me), sometimes the load was so long it booted me back to login
BAF i suffer from extreme powers lag but little graphical lag, lambda is almost exact opposite, i suffer from extreme graphical lag at times but no powers lag
one time ive had the issue with the slight rollback (lost 3 astral merits due to that)
other than those issues i usually dont crash at all during a trial, just lag (either graphical or powers depending on trial) -
Quote:the reactive does NOT have an option for 100% chance of debuff, it either has 75% debuff/25% DoT, or 25% debuff/75% DoTOriginally Posted by UberGuy
The Core version is a 100% chance of the debuff, meaning that after four hits, you're guaranteed a 10% debuff (unless you have to stop hitting for some reason). I don't think that's beneath notice. Also, bear in mind that all these limited stacking debuffs are achieved by granting the target a temp power that it applies to itself. That means these debuffs don't follow the "purple patch" behavior - You'll apply the full debuff to a foe of any level you can hit.
I'm taking this on my high-sustained-DPS melee characters.
all of the others are 100/50 or 50/100 -
looking at the in game numbers, the clockwork lore buff pet does NOT give psi defense either (the other 3 lore buff pets give def to all types, but clockwork does gives to all types minus psi)
-
the couple times ive taken super inspirations, i have thrown them on the market, sold a super blue inspiration for 70 mil the other day (only had it listed for like 10 mil)
-
it adds a 100% chance of fire dmg proc on to all your attacks, the amount of dmg it does is approx 2/3 what the power normally does

Quote:im in same situation, thankfully i have a friend with a well established toon on different server that they are PLing a random toon i made so i could make some inf and hopefully purps lolOriginally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Man... why did I have to put ALL my characters on Victory?
I'd be okay if I were just temporarily locked out of my main, but dammit, I wanna play some CoH this weekend!!!

Quote:have to disagree with thatOriginally Posted by Mr_Morbid
Of course, even running the trials and failing horribly would be a faster way to get the exp.
if you use the thread xp conversion it helps significantly more, since 1 shard is usually worth as much or more than the AVs in the trials
with the funds and shards i unlocked all the slots with only playing lambda trial twice (and when i was running lambda trial, i was only working on destiny slot) -
i hope this doesnt take all weekend to get fixed
someone has really been forgetting to feed the victory gerbils to keep it running -
seriously, i want to get my tier 4 lore sometime today lol
last time this was fixed also, it threw my character list to disarray which i had to fix too -
Quote:it will take more than 3-4 runs to unlock destiny since the destiny/lore slots require about twice as much xp to unlock (judgement/interface are 1,500,000 and lore/destiny is 2,250,000 (i think))Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
3 - 4 Lambda runs will unlock Interface, and another 3 - 4 should unlock Destiny via the iXP for Lambda. I imagine it's about the same for BAF, but I think unlocking BAF's stuff goes a little faster. It can go a bit faster if you convert Inf + Shards, but I only did that because I just wanted to unlock them/play with it. I don't recommend it. Completing various objections, defeating mobs, and the reward table will get you stuff to use or hold for whatever it is you are trying to unlock. Thread drops are at an okay-drop level; faster than shards, but you need more threads to make stuff. *shrug* The various powers sure are nifty though.
unlocking the slots through thread to xp conversions is a TON faster, so fast in fact i have all 4 slots unlocked on day 1 and i only ran 2 lambda trials total, of course it did cost me around 380 mil inf to do shard to thread and thread to xp conversions -
Quote:highly doubtful, me and the same group who did the antacid run then attempted to rerun but not use a single temp, even with debuff heavy team, we only got him down to about 70% before the timer was half gone, by that time as well, we started getting overrun by the 10 portals we didnt close so we eventually just ran out of timeOriginally Posted by Zubenelgenubi
Also, is it even possible to take out Marauder without pacifying him?
edit: at least 14/16 of our league was triple level shifted too -

Unless I was mistaken, I thought that the Judgement powers didn't benefit from Damage buffs (or +Recharge)?
judgement and lore are enhanced only through alpha, destiny is not affected by anything, and all incarnate powers cannot have their rech enhanced even with spiritual alpha -
last night on victory server we successfully completed a lambda trial without using acid temps, but we did use pacification grenades
nobody got awarded the antacid badge even though we got all 10 acids and pacifications and didnt use any acids
im thinking either this badge is bugged, or if you get all 20 temps during he sabotage phase, that it automatically assumes that you are going for the well stocked badge -
its 50,000 xp per thread, which is about 3.33% of judgement/interface and 2.22% of destiny/lore
you need 30 threads to unlock judgement or interface and 45 threads to unlock destiny or interface
to unlock everything from 0 its 150 threads and 375,000,000 mil inf -
i had my triple lvl shift very late on day 3 as well, i forked over tons of inf, shards, and threads to unlock everything on day 1, and got all commons and some uncommons by day 2 and had tier 3s for lvl shifts early day 3
today i had finished up the rest so everything is tier 3s and im only 2 commons and 1 uncommon component away from a tier 4 lore -
Quote:they arent actual criticals per se, those poeple are using the "core" tree judgement which has a chance to do some additional dmgOriginally Posted by War-Nugget
Some judgement powers DO critical , it says in white text "Judgement Critical" , if you right click powers in the incarnate tab you will bring up details about em.

well it appears that the emergency maintenance is gonna happen in 30 min lol
-
after trying to reboot the game and get into victory, its giving me the cant connect to database server message
-
the queue window that pops up with with does make a sound if you have the game selected as your current window, it wont make noise if your in something like a web browser
-
same thing happened to me a minute ago too, retarded internet flickered so i got mapserved and i couldnt get back in
trying to reboot game if that helps -
Quote:ive been on a few successful PUGs, and it took me a week to get tier3s, but to get tier 4s i have to work up the tree again and get lucky on rares again, or save empyrean meritsOriginally Posted by Daemodand
You must be playing on set teams. On PuGs the reward tables are almost mythological they're so rare. Fortunately, you don't need them to progress. But yeah, they help.
At this pace I think you'll be at the top tiers in another week, then you'll be bored.
i doubt ill get bored too, this is only my main toon, i want this awesome goodness on all my toons (ill prolly start with the toons who already have tier 4 alphas, which is almost 5 other toons besides my main lol), most of those toons though dont have the shard storage like my main did so they will be unlocking the slots a bit slower
