    Tiny update

    There was just a tiny update, from .8T3 to .9T3. What's that all about then?
  2. I reckon less than 5% of missions are dropped because they are bugged.

    The Bug command is adiquate to deal with those, without wasting the time of the other 95%.
  3. They have it in HMV Croydon, but you can still get an Auto Assault Collectors Edition box there too.

    It's largely down to shelf space. GAME shops tend to be quite small.

    Lost Curing Wand

    You will get more than 20 simply by soloing one lost mission.

    That's why I like the power so much, I get the wand then go and do the faultline arcs and use it on those pesky mezzing lost bosses. I just wish it lasted longer.

    sure we might have had a bad mix,

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Even a bad mix can do it with good tactics.

    I think it was your tactics that was poor, not your team mix.

    And that's why it is such a good battle as it is; it makes you think and use tactics.

    And if your tactics aren't good enough, you should fail.

    Lost Curing Wand

    Go in a Lost mission. You will have your 20 before you know it, and then it will run out just before you zap the boss.

    Or, team with 7 other people, all of whom have a wand. Then you only have to do 2.5 each.
  7. Unfortuantely, it's up to retailers what games they put on thier shelves, and they only have space for the latest or most popular games.

    because their council did not want to pay Sunday rates, so did not send the gritters out last night.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well that's just stupidity on the councils part and some one should be shot for that decision.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Maybe the people who elected them? (It's not thier money they where being tight with after all).
  9. [ QUOTE ]
    So in short don't blame the councils they were more than likely out gritting and salting the roads before the weather started and instead if you don't like it stay in and stop moaning.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    My road has been nither gritted or salted (in fact they can't use salt now, too damaging to the environment).

    trials/ respecs Perhaps cos the only trial we get are RESPECS oh well my fault for misquoting but who cares still know wat i meant and the point still stands


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Respecs are the only content on either side that ever gave trial rewards.

    Terra Volta: Jane Hallaway
    Captain James Harlan } 25 merits!
    Major Richard Flagg

    [/ QUOTE ]

    1st, 2nd and 3rd respec. They are all as similar as the villain 1st, 2nd and 3rd respec are to each other.

    Officially, villains do have another trial: Hamidon.

    In reality, there is no difference between TFs, SFs and Trials.
  11. [ QUOTE ]
    Do they get more merit rewards per hour though doing TFs instead of SFs?


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nope, some of the hero ones are just interminably long.

    clearly our infrastructure was not designed to handle.
    The rest of the snowbound world must be in fits of laughter at fragile little Blighty grinding to a halt over a couple of inches of snow.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Would you really want your tax money used to buy the heavy plant that would be required, and then sit rusting in a garage for several years? Places like Berlin or Moscow, they have to buy the stuff, because it gets used for several months every year.

    The UK isn't more fragile, it's just less predictable.

    Oh, and there is a lot more than a couple of inches of snow here at the moment.
  13. That would be Ghostraptor then.

    What is it about snow that makes our country collapse so? The good news is I get to spend a while longer at my friends, but damn it's annoying.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The taxpayers won't spend the money required to deal with events that they've been told won't happen very often ('cos it's getting warmer...)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    edited for truth.
  15. I didn't even try to get to work in London. Phoned in, and there wasn't anyone else thier either!

    I guess I have no choice but to spend the day playing CX...
  16. Just thought I would mention that some of the Vanguard turrets in the RWZ and missions have been converted into gun drones, and now go charging off into battle against the rikti.
  17. It's probably stuck in a snowdrift.
  18. The snow is around 30cm (12 inches) here (Surrey). I don't need to build a snowman, since they are building themselves all over the garden. I think they are going to attack soon...
  19. The PvP was changed in issue 13, I've no idea how that works now. That's why I didn't comment on it.

    The rest is unchanged since issue 9.

    what is an easy way to get these besides farming?


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Play lots.

    [ QUOTE ]
    people say you get one round about every 6 weeks, but I have been playing for 21 months and never recieved a purple and I play a lot


    [/ QUOTE ]

    What level are you? They only drop from mobs of level 47 or above.

    [ QUOTE ]
    and is it true you can get them from a merit reward vendor if you have enough merits

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, it's not true, you cannot exchange merits for purple recipes.

    [ QUOTE ]
    is there an easier method to gain inf rather than farming

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Do story arcs and task forces (it may not be as quite as quick, but it is more fun so the time passes without tedium).

    There is also lots of inf to be made by doing TFs for merits, taking random drops, and then selling them.

    prove the least painful way of getting to 50.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Brute = Easy mode.

    There is no powerset combo that would make it difficult to get to level 50 solo.

    Any need

    There is a time and a place for swearing.

    People who think that time and place is every other word probably do so because they have a very limited vocabulary.

    force blaster

    [ QUOTE ]
    [ QUOTE ]
    I'd say Energy blast would fill the need of a force blast.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    energy is not force blaster, hench the name and function.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, quite clearly Energy Blast is a blast of energy, doing energy and smashing damage, with a knockback secondary effect; wheres Force Blast is a blast of force, doing smashing and energy damage, with a knockback secondary effect. Clearly quite different, no simalarity whatsoever.
  24. Depends on AT. Brutes usually go strieght up to highest difficulty.
