i play it on occasion, the only thing i really do in it is achievement farm cause normal matches are too hard to work on most of the achievements
i also dont really care for the game style of normal matches anyway -
i agree that the server/local friends are kind of pointless, it allows you to track only ONE toon on ONE of your toons, and with this being an alt heavy game, most poeple could easily have nearly 40 toons on a single server, not to mention that the local friend thing is for your server only and many people are multiple server too

out of the ~30 runs ive done ive only gotten 3 kb converters lol

Quote:i believe zwill mentioned that it was a bug in the process of being fixed for not being able to go on the auction houseAlso, it can be traded and stored, but cannot currently be put on the market. Is this intended or a bug, and will it be fixed?
edit: scooped by Hit Streak lol -
Quote:I imagine you mean the exploits, not the farms, those are still alive and well for those who like them.
In other words, yes, "reward creep", just as I was pointing out.
technically ambush farms were not exploits, that was just leveraging the tools given to us (i never liked ambush farms though, they werent friendly to lowbies)
now loading a map full of buff bots was borderline exploitation since you could cap most of your stats and farm with pretty much no fear of dying regardless which AT you were -
purely graphic effects i would prolly suggest kin melee
it has a lot of flashy graphics and lots of sound effects, it also just happens to be decent with actual gameplay too
broadsword while it isnt too flashy is great for concept characters who use swords
secondaries there are not a whole lot of really flashy secondaries, although elec and fire armor have prolly the most standout graphics, and stone armor is also good too if you like looking like a DE monster with the tier 9 lol
as for epic powers, thats up to you, honestly they are all about the same IMO -

thx for the quick fix on this
-
a lot of what your suggesting is basically already implemented in ouroboros
flashbacks allow you to run content basically in the order its supposed to be(ie low to high lvl)
and ouroboros tfs like mender lazarus and mender silos tfs are referencing parts of the past which have happened (i think mender lazarus tf shows the fall of the 5th column for example which takes place way before the games timeline actually starts when you are a fresh created character)
now would more ouroboros tfs like the one i mentioned above showing other events of the past? sure why not always fun for a play through here or there -

i agree that one of 2 things should be done to the friends list
either A) increase the max size of the list
or B) have a column that shows "last online" so we can actually tell who hasnt been on in 3+ years lol
just showing when the player was last online would be a great way of telling if they even play the game anymore, if the person hasnt been on in 3-5 years its possible they wont come back -
i think its possible they are gonna leave as is cause these enhancements are gonna become very scarce once the event is over because of how awesome they are

Quote:i think the main reason nobody uses it to farm anymore is cause they got their ambush farms nerfed into oblivion lolThe part early on about reward creep made me think of the MA system vs. the newer SSAs and trials. Remember how farming the AE used to be THE THING because tickets could get you so much stuff (recipes and salvage)? Now it's all about the merits, tickets are at best a niche reward to chase after. As the devs haven't updated of the rewards for the MA*, now hardly anyone plays with it, farming or otherwise.
*I know that farming and exploiting are reasons they haven't. Still, they could do something with it such as updating rewards for vetted dev choice arcs or whatever, but that's not happened either.
so its either wade through a map with baddies tailored to be weak to you, or wade through a map of standard enemies that arent too tough
the AE map is prolly easier to fight through, but you dont get jack for rewards except inf and tickets, or xp if thats what your after
the standard map with standard baddies might be slightly tougher but you also get more rewards such as purples which are unattainable in AE aside from the dev choice content
another potential reason for the lack of AE is the lack of incarnate rewards outside of dev choice, and the only incarnate rewards are shards which most poeple rarely use anymore unless they solo a lot -
i think ice slick is better kb than earthquake, but im finally glad they made a mostly niche power useful
im actually excited to roll a fire control/nature affinity when we get the set out
before bonfire was always that skippable power now its gonna be and almost must take, which means smoke is the one that is gonna be the skippable one -
aside from it being unfeasible code wise, this would be the very essence of pay to win in this game
being able to 6 slot every power is too much power and it makes build making almost moot since you will essentially have unlimited slots
for the sake of balance, definitely unsigned -
how i view the kb proc in bonfire is basically ice slick + rain of fire lol
although it does better mitigation for slightly less dmg lol -
the reason not being perma annoys me is we already have at least 3 click to use incarnate powers PLUS whatever our own characters have without that, so some characters can have like 5-6 click buff powers
without the ability to set more than 1 on auto, it makes the minimal buff that hybrid provides VERY annoying to retoggle every 4 min (since thats the avg time of hasten, and many other click buffs)
plus if you lag and accidentally double click it, then your out of the buff for another 2 min as the OP was describing
the way it was originally designed with an end cost was fine, the current design is garbage, the powers should either A) be perma toggle, or B) just be autos like interface cause they aint that much stronger than interface and we have that on all the time -
for the hacker you can ignore or kill the 2 guards and it doesnt affect getting the perfect badge
-
in the 18 runs of the event i did yesterday i only got 2 of the kb converters lol
-
if you split 2/2 on each door, and use aoes, if you get them down to at least 50% or less hp it still counts as a kill at the end of the round
if you are going for even then you need at least 38 on each round to get the 75, of course the more ninjas you get the less monkeys you have to get -
hybrid isnt broken, but i do agree with you that its prolly the most useless incarnate power to date
if it doesnt go up to perma status i may stop bothering slotting it cause even the passive bonus is so low its near negligible as its barely stronger than a set bonus -
you just brought up the main reason why i dislike trials, i HATE the random reward table, getting anything less than a rare feels like i wasted my time cause i could have done a DA arc for common or uncommon by myself without the need for a team
the only trial really worth running is the underground since it is a guaranteed rare or very rare for completion -
power amplifiers are a pure waste, guess im saving pts this week

Quote:the longbow are still the best -regen, robotic drones do piddly amounts of -regen compared to the cataphractDoh! Didn't realize that. That makes the longbow pets quite a bit less useful.
robotic drones do -50% regen for 5 or 10 sec longbow boss pet does -500% regen for 30 sec on a power that rech in 4 sec
i do agree the nullifier is kind of useless but he is a ranged pet so he doesnt die as fast -
Quote:interesting, where does that adamastor actually appear in game though? the only attack in there i recognize the GM to have is the earthen prison and the shockwave stomp, ive looked at the detailed info on all his attacks and one of his vomit attacks is neg energy and one is toxic
That one threw me for a loop as well, but that's why I run queries on the data rather than attempt to look it up myself.
For reference: http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/power...heon_Adamastor
when im in game tomorrow i can look up all his attacks when i fight him again (its 2:30 am for me now, too tired to get in game lol)
i suppose it is possible that there is a unique version of adamastor that appears in a mish in some random arc unless the redtomax page is describing the GM
