Halp me! I wants to play! Seriously though, something appears have broken them. Bad time for a downtime when a 12 hour downtime is occurring tomorrow

Too many downtimes. Its nice seeing effort being made to work on the servers finally but you guys need to do ALL maintenance on thursday. Stop doing it on tuesday as well. It's getting a bit excessive having 2 - 3 downtimes every week.

I like the arc but my only complaint is I wish these scaled up to 50. I don't know but I guess I had assumed these were going to be level 50 arcs being they give incarnate rewards and such. It's not like we don't have enough mid level content now anyway.

So I hear people getting this up to 88mph.

Well this was my setup.

Swift:
1 level 50+5 boosted flightspeed IO
Quickness:
1 level 50 flightspeed IO in
Afterburner:
1 level luck of the gambler proc in the 1st slot and 1 level 50+5 boosted flightspeed IO in the 2nd slot
Flight:
winter proc (adding a flight IO here only boosted my speed by 2mph)

All of this resulted in a speed of 78.57mph. So I though hmm... I'll drop the luck of the gambler and see where it goes. So I used an enhancement unslotter on the luck of the gambler and slotted another level 50 flightspeed IO.

This resulted in the flightspeed not increasing at all. Despite the enhancement window saying otherwise. Combat attributes still show the number green and at 78.57. If I use steam jump or prestige jump pack it goes up to 87.95.

So either only 1 enhancement slot currently works in afterburner or when I used the enhancement unslotter on the luck of the gambler it broke the slot. Either way, Im kinda pissed for wasting an enhancement unslotter for nothing. I bug reported this but wanted to see if anyone else has run into this.

This was on my level 50 MA/SR scrapper for those that want to try reproducing the bug.

Edit: due some very strange reason you have to have a flight IO in flight for the 2nd slot in afterburner to function. Once I put a flight IO in flight and then added a 2nd flight io to afterburner only then did the 2nd slot in afterburner function.

Edit: So now I have 2 +5 level 50 boosted fligtht IOS in afterburner and that put me up to 86.68. Boosting the flightspeed IO in flight had no effect, adding flight IOS to quickness and swift had no effect. Im guessing that is a bug as well. So I guess you'd have to 3 slot afterburner to get it 88 or use the jump packs. I can live with 88 but I wish the slots in quickness and swift were actually working with this power.

Come back? I don't think it was ever fixed...

Some people still do these the slower more informative way. I'd highly suggest not joining speed runs such as speed itfs if you still feel confused on some of these. But most regular leaders have very descriptive macros and binds explaining everything.

Make sure you have a chat tab window that you can always read with request and league chat in it. I suggest labeling the window as Events or Raids and adding: request, league, event messages, hero events, praetoria events and villain events to it. So all that info is there in one window for you to read. Stretch the window enough so you can see more than 5 lines of text.

I usually use request when I lead trials and old zone raids such as the msr and I know a few others still do. So that's why I suggest adding it to a tab.

Arrrr!!

Sounds great. I would also like to run another redside hamiraid sometime after the 24th. Perhaps Saturday october 1st? Please have a villain, vigilante or rogue ready by then if interested. We had issues getting enough painbringer/adrenaline boost for Hazy last time but it was still successful once it was all set straight.

Looking forward to the 24th and future hami goodness.

Ok something might be bugged with the old serial code system. Apparently you can't buy more than 2 of the same point packages because of some sort of serial code it applies to your credit/paypal account. Meaning you can buy two of the 100$ points packages but if you decide you want another 100 you gotta buy two 50$ purchases instead.

I have purchased two sets of paragon points since launch on my main ncsoft master account. Today I wanted to buy some more but I keep getting the online code purchase limits error: https://help.ncsoft.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/989

I don't get it. I used my paypal account for both transactions, I have my credit card set to the 400$ maximum limit. I can't use either to make the purchase without getting this error. Is their seriously a limit of only buying points twice or is this a bug? Anyone else encountering this? I petitioned but I doubt I'll get a response anytime soon.

Prices would normalize if drop rates were increased. Things like purples were soooooo much cheaper pre AE and then something broke the droprate and they made stupid decisions to remove or nerf purple drop rates from things people farmed alot and now pretty much everyone farms AE instead for tickets.

Money sinks aren't going to help the problem and the problem is supply. Multibillionaires are always going to be able to bid billions on purples no matter how many inf sinks you add and at that point it just makes things even more inaccessible to other players.

It really should be an incarnate zone with full use of level shifts etc. Been saying this for awhile tons of fun to be had. But I guess you'd want to give villains other choices there because other than taking out potentially earth shattering shivan men that could or could not ruin the villains plan for world domination. They have no reason to help in galaxy city. So sabotage and other forms of terrorism for villains to do would be a good thing or bad thing for them to do rather

I honestly hate wasting a power on boxing or kick. The 2 most worthless attacks ingame with very boring animations. Kick is funny for a Spartan themed character but other than that its meh....

What power did you slot it in? A toggle, click power or an auto power? At one point these and steadfast resist procs were broken in some click and toggle powers.

More cape problems I see. Maybe they will restore the use of single shoulder premium capes. I remember being able to use valkryie and both of the collectors capes in single shoulder at one time.

Small masks 1 - 5 in the face details. These were in standard and masks with hair and now I dont see them there anywhere or the list is completely not in alphabetical order and I just can't find them searching from top to bottom.

Please bring these back because I use them on alot of characters. I'll post here If I notice other pieces missing.

I still don't get why it was designed this way. If its due to animations then why not simply have you stand normally when you are just hovering in the rocket board but the minute you move forward or backward it changes to the prestige power slide animation like it always does now. So you can still use powers when you aren't moving. This way you don't need to suppress toggles or anything.

I know some of you are planning to leave and transfer your some or many; perhaps all of your characters to the new shiny vip server. Some want a fresh start, some fear the stench of freebies; due to past experiences in other games. And some just want more people or a highly crowded server to play on.

When freebies are concerned, whether its the attitude, the rudeness or whatever you think you might avoid, I tell you now you're probably going to find just as much of the rudeness, ignorant ***-hat behavior on the the new 'snob knob' server. All the fanboys, the lore before fun, your character shouldn't be allowed to do that people. All of them on one server. Some of you refer to them as elitists while here the term fanboy is often the better word to use. You'll be dealing with all of the crap over there; all of them concentrated on one server. Here you already know who to team with, who to avoid and who you can count on.

We have a very nice and well established community here already, why would you leave that behind? I won't discourage you from making or transferring some characters there. No not at all, be adventurous and meet new people or go there with some friends. But I do discourage you from walking away from liberty and making the vip your new server just to escape free to play people. I encourage you now to get people to try the game with the new free to play model, get them addicted, teach them how to play and hopefully subscribed so they can join our community channels and really get to be apart of this servers great community.

Just a thought everyone. We have just as many jerks and friendly people here as other servers. Although some definitely have way more (not mention names of the some of those highly populated servers *grin*)

Don't forget liberty! We'll keep the seat warm for you.

Luckily my vacation begins Thursday and I'm staying home!

Clearly another Nemesis plot in the works.

Couldn't have done it with you Here's to more in the future. Both red and blueside.
