Speak the kings english man!

I dunno, ask karl, he will ask HH, who will ask imeco who will say "I will consider it" and never actually answer the question.

This thread is +1 for promoting hawt market pvp with cheesecake.

I would wait to see about this, chances are that MMs will have the same set, but, rumor is castle is going to gut HE, becuase he doesn't like the fact that you have to get powers or build powers to not be stupidly end heavy, skill doesnt matter he's just going to fix the problem for them. However forged ninja crits sound hawt

HH, snow globe silences me for existing, he just outright dispises you though.


Put it this way GG, if you even think, see, hear or smell the word triumph, take your pants off.

Personally, there are ways around the ticket cap, when i run my mish, without reseting, 8 spawned and with 2 ppl, i average about 12k tickets a run per 1 and a half hours.

The fact of it is that most people don't know how to do this, and thus are wasting a large majority of the tickets while still generating the inf. But to consider is how much of the players not reseting are 50 and how many of them are lowbies, lookin for xp, and of those how many are in sg mode.

I agree that there is inflation, but a large question is, is the amount of inflation comparable to the amount of deflation in certain items? I know for a fact that the PS proc has gone down, KB procs down, SP +3% have gone down, and alot of the odder recipes are becoming available.

Is there balance within it or not is a better question then "Is there inflation"

I'ld say watch the mal lvls, see if your below the 3 lvl limit or if they are stacking the KB, i know if you are near enough to the tank and the tank takes the alpha, u could get enough AoE grenade KB splash to overcome you KB prot.

I'm still of the opinion that AE should have a required tutorial that is, in itself a story arc that allows the new players a chance at dev created content, gives information and tutorial-related information while intergrating the funnest part of RC. Then, once they finish the story arc, they have the choice of AE or RC.


I am a farmer, I farm MA, I farm RC, when I factor in purple drops, I find running RC farms more profitable, but more unpredictable due to the "Am I going to get a hecatomb? or a fort hypno?"

Seriously. yell more, I want to read more raged and stupid altoholic posts, he's my favorite poster due to the utter lack of logic and reason.

Get a travel power (Arena kiosks sell temps if thats any good), stay out of heal range and use a few good single targets to get his pets to low HP. Now if you manage to get them all low on hp and he can't get a good heal off, round off with a few good AoE's then single target the MM as the pets are dieing.

If I am remembering correctly, fluffy has a -20 to -40% resistance to energy attacks, which is good due to your own attacks havin energy damage, poppin the fluffy would be a good move if he throws it out, as it has its own heal which can hurt.

Ideally throw a range enhancement or two into your single target attacks so that you can out range him. A /darks true weakness is the stationary and huddle oriented type of powers he has available, if you can get the ranged advantage on him and he can't move as fast as you, you can pick him off handily. Don't expect more then 1-2 deaths though.

Another thing is to choose a good map, cargo and the big open eden? maps are good as having the pets break LoS with him means he's weak and easily beat. Don't get cought in a cage or troll cave map with him.

My overall opinion and observations of these threads have been:

§-There are two sides
§- Alt_o_Holic really shouldn't post opinions when he doesn't have the desire to communicate with other people.
§- Both sides are both correct and incorrect.
§- I fail to see anyway that "farmers" or "PL'ers" are impacting the game anymore then usual
§-I see alot of AE newbies farming alot. Which could be affecting the overall state of the game, but these newbies are neither farmers nor PLers as they are often running very poor farm missions and do not run them efficently. Making them PuG's at least, at most a very most a poor farm imitation.

*A step toward further group distinction would help these threads be anything but flame wars

Alot of what ppl claim the AE noobs don't know is covered in the tutorial, most new players play the tutorial. Does this infact point to AE being the problem? or the tutorial needing a slight update?

I beleive that the new players should be required to run the AE tutorial b4 being able to do AE, and have the AE tutorial a little more in-depth.

Not knowing how to play your character is an objectional complaint, some will say you're playing your character right if you know how to attack.

I found that buying sub-50 recipes, usually 47-49 recipes and then crafting them cut the prices alot. I also don't buy crafted enhancements. Flippers etc. thrive on lazy or unattentive buyers to make extra on their sales. Paying attention and putting effort and time into slotting can end up saving some major inf.

Altoholic has already made the game to suit himself perfectly, he's ignored everyone, taking him almost completely out of the MMO part of the game, so really, he's just playing an RPG game that requires an internet connection, i pity him.

I'm an AE PL'er, what I fail to see in these threads is the seperation of farmers and PL'ers and then between the good and bad ones of those respective groups.

I'm a marketeer, thats how I make money, but my overall player type is a PvPer, I've been with the game since a month after it started. I prefer to think that i'm a rather good farmer, i average approx 45-75 mil per 1 hour run. I run solo or with an alt.


The problem is that, neither sides are right or wrong. Altoholic presents a perfect example of why things are what they are now. He IGNORES EVERYONE WHO DISAGREE'S WITH HIM?!?!?!?!?! W T F?

All I want to do is get my lvl 50s and slot them for pvp as fast as possible, I see the possible degradation of the game due to to ease of farming, but even in that case I fail to see it happening in the amounts that people claim here on the forums.

I run PuG's, PuG SF's and PuG TF's, only once have i ran into an AE noob that needed anything more then a quick FAQ answers and all he needed was a few step by step instructions.

Maybe if the two sides conversed with say a dev and could come to some sort of understanding, it would help, but as long as Altoholic is around spewing nonsense and ignoring his opposition, such goals are near-impossible.

Cav, its bait, i prey on the ignorant players like that, they taste like chicken

nom nom nom

I transfered a toon to freedom and started pvping. The toon is a relatively well ioed one, ranging from 1-3 bil if priced conservatively.

As a sort of experiment i went into pvp and took quick notes, time, kills deaths etc. after spending approx. 20-30 hours of ingame pvp play time ive ended with 1.4 bil from pvp io drops.

Poverty eludes me aswell.

omai.

For the love of all thats sane, take away trok's haterade

AE centeric toons tend to be high AoE ceneteric builds, if im right then spines and ElM would be good primaries.

With high spawns of bosses and the such, a high defernse secondary would most likely work best, /Ninj if you have the money to put it at around 50-55 defense positional with suppressed hide.

Spines/Ninj or ElM/nin sound the best, but flexibility in the primary is prolly acceptable.


More input in "what" role you mean to fulfill in an AE centeric stalker would prolly help

I run argueably one of the more successful nrg/nins, and, not to be mean or anything, the slotting leaves much to be desired but first lemme discuss the power selection.

I find that Bone Smasher and Total focus on an enrgy/nin is a death sentence; If you can't kill the hero with BU+AS+ET then its time to book it. For that defense is horri-bad atm, i run in retsu with shadow meld and heros still roll a 25% chance to hit me. Staying OUT of hide is bad and chaining ET + TF is a death sentence. Spirit shark is a personal taste, i hate it, without shadow meld my defense to psi is paper thin. If i were you i would drop say TF and pick up Spirit Shark Jaws, slot it 2 dam/mez and 1 dam/acc hamis and then 3 procs and you can make some major hurt and buy enough time for a placate+spirit shark follow up. But the thing is about spirit shark is, chances are, the animation is going to kill you.

As for slotting im looking at your build, i cleaned out the slots that have little to no effect on a pvp toons performance in RV and im sittin with 17 free slots. You definitetly want more slots in Retsu. You need more + damage and more KB protection.

When AE first came out, within two weeks i was able to make approx in excess of 20,000 tickets a run on a map running bosses. The entire map took me approx 75-90 minutes to run, the most annoying thing about the whole thing is the pittance of having to roll so many bronze rolls, the money was awesum though.

Now? more zoning time. dreck map, defend objects, neutral rikti monkey guarding spawns, enemy attacking spawns, jump in a dumpster.

AE is supposed to be a way of alternate leveling.

In the original leveling system, PLing existed.

In the alternate way of leveling, why would PLing not exist?

Now please, continue with your pointless arguement, farmers will continue to farm and PLers will continue to PL. The gnashing of your teeth does nothing but annoy people.

When you look at your chat box, you will see these tab looking thinga-ma-bobs, right click one and it'll bring up a box thing. You will see 2 bubbles and some buttons in the center of the two, in the center you will see a "Join Channel Button" type in Triumph Watch 2.0 and Triumph Watch 2.1. I usually keep both in my tab but talk in 2.1 and just watch 2.0. Talking in 2.0 can get you silenced as starting a new topic is off topic and snow globe's a lil trigger happy.

You'll prolly see me talking in 2.0, i have a habitual problem of getting silenced in 2.0 for looking for SFs, so since i usually get silenced anyways, i harrass the channel.

(If you have a pitch fork, hide it while ur joining and talking in 2.0)
