Hmm... So here's what I've gotten so far: Play with my PB until 50, use some respecs to swap around some slots, IO the crap outta him with said IO sets from you all, and then rule the world? Does that uh, does that about cover it all? Haha.
No, I get what you're all saying. Respecs are no problem. I have plenty saved up, and I'll probably run the trials anyway. (For levels, badges, whatever) I have some influence I can throw around from another toon of mine. (He's just hoarding all the goodies) IOs... Well, can't say I've ever used any but I guess this would be a good start. Assuming I figure out which to use. (I also have some ATIOs lying around in my emails so... Maybe slot that set?) Everything here seems pretty cutthroat, all the info I mean. Just gotta start playing now and have some fun, eh?
1 final question, not that anyone has to, but... To see what I'd be heading for/setting a goal for, would someone mind creating a quick build for me on Mids and showing me what ALL THE INFO from this thread would look like in the end?
Thank you,

Okay okay. So I guess my next question would be... Instruct me on Tri-Form? Seems the conversation is swaying more to that side (Plus, I've worked with plenty PBs and WSs and I like all the shapeshifting, too) and I'm seeing it being quite... Fun.
-
This is all great. Since this would be my first PB/Kheld, I'd go with whatever's best. Haha. I mean, I'll take all the help I can get. I'll go ahead and look at all the builds you all wanna throw at me. Kinda... Wanna see what's best, who agrees on what, which path to take, etc etc. But this is all looking good.

Yeah, I did ^_^". Mostly because I was in school and didn't have much time to make extravagant responses. He didn't say which path he was taking, so I assumed triform, since that is what most first time Khelds do anyways.
Also, I wanted to point out that, while Knockback protection is a good idea, I don't think it's necessary once you can perma-Lightform. Lightform provides some crazy numbers against knockback and makes those measely +4 KB protections utterly useless, whereas you could use those valuable slots elsewhere.
Here is my build:

IF you're going triform, this build may/may not help you. This build is entirely dependent on a couple things:
1.) Lightform. Must have. Must be perma'd. Must be reapplied whenever possible.
2.) Recharge bonuses. 145% with hasten is the hot spot (I think). This build goes way over that. I'm not sure if you've seen any of Dechs Kaison's posts or his knowledge on Kheldians, but he's made one thing very apparent; Recharge Bonuses weigh heavily into the efficiency equation that is the Kheldian. What I mean by that is that the more often our powers are up, the more options we have. Options are power. Power is good.
The moral? Get plenty of IO sets with recharge time bonuses. Also, Luck of the Gambler (Defense IO) +Global Recharge is a great one slot enhancement. Find five places to slot this baby and you've got yourself a whopping 37.5% recharge time bonus already. And they're relatively cheap, too!
3.) Shape shifting. If you just aren't into the forms, then this build is not for you. Nova is extremely useful for causing wide-spread pain across multiple enemies, where as human form is fantastic for single target with a radiant strike, bolt, gleaming blast attack chain. Some people find Dwarf form to close to useless, but I beg to differ. Solar Flare is a great way to mitigate damage. When enemies are on their bottoms, they aren't swinging at you. Also, the Dwarf heal is quite extraordinary. And a short cooldown to boot!
The idea is that (I'm quoting Dechs once again) "You are all forms at all times. Thinking anything else will cripple you without you even realizing it." Basically; switch into the form you deem worthy to meet the situation so that you can prevail and scream upon the corpses of your enemies "I'M THE MFING PEACEBRINGER!"... Huh? There's no MFing Peacebringer guide yet? Pft, I'm sure he gets the point.
()
So how do you go about switching forms swiftly and effectively? Macros, good sir. Macros. Here are some that I use. (inspired by... guess who? I'll give you a hint. His name starts with a D and ends in Kaison.)
/bind R "powexectoggleon White Dwarf$$gototray 9$$bind shift+lbutton powexecname white dwarf step"
This macro switches you into White Dwarf form and changes your FIRST power tray to 9. You can now place all of your White Dwarf powers in Tray 9.
/bind Z "powexectoggleon Bright Nova$$gototray 8"
This macro switches you into Bright Nova form and changes your FIRST power tray to 8. You can now place all of your Bright Nova powers in Tray 8.
/bind alt+q "powexectoggleoff Bright Nova$$powexectoggleoff White Dwarf$$gototray 1"
This power turns OFF your forms and brings you back to your original power tray. (1)
These are just a few handy dandy macro's that make your life as a triformer all the more easier and efficient.
All in favor of Dechs creating a MFing Peacebringer guide say "Aye!"

So I finally broke down and created my first Peacebringer. (Finally got inspiration for a costume.) Only problem is... With the mass array of powers at my disposal, I have no idea which to pick, which to avoid, etc. In other words, may I please have some info/opinions on selecting powers? Maybe a Mids file I can pop in and get some ideas from?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated/accepted.
Thank you,

And in case you are wondering why they bring up Arachnos Widows -
The term "Soldiers of Arachnos" applies to both Arachnos Soldiers and Arachnos Widows.

So, because of my alt-itis, I've been wanting to create a Peacebringer and a Soldier of Arachnos. I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on any of these 2 archetypes? Maybe, some pros and cons of each. I wanna see what they're both like before I start making them into projects. (i.e.- Differences between Crab and Bane Spider, how the different PB builds work, what powers to take and/or avoid, etc, etc.)
Thank you,

For now, I'm using them to finish buying all the Ascension pieces (Normal and Radiance). Once I finish buying them, I think I'll just save em for whenever they start introducing the new slots. I'm simple.
Seeing as how I only have 1 level 50 and he's T4 everything, I'm just hoarding

Quote:In all honesty, Keyes only took me about 3 runs to fully understand what the hell was going on lol My first run, I was going on what everyone else was saying and I died a million times >.< Second run, I followed the leader more to understand the trial better. By the third run, I knew where to go and what to do. Only thing is how the leaders choose to run the trials. There are a couple different methods I've seen run on a Keyes so it depends on what the leader chooses. Lambda really didn't take long to master. A run or 2 and everything was simple. UG definitely did take me a little longer to understand but overall, with the right amount of time and patience, it's not that difficult to comprehend.Originally Posted by Wing_Leader
How many times did it take to reach that point, though?
I've been through Lambda several times already, and I still can't grok the layout of the acid/nades levels. Everyone else on the team zips around so fast that I can never get my bearings. Try as I might to "contribute" to that phase of the trial, sometimes it's all I can do to simply play Follow the Leader so that I don't take a wrong turn into three aggro'ed IDF mobs and get myself good and dead.
After several runs of Keyes, I've finally managed to get a better handle on it, though I've found that unless there is some reasonable attempt at league management of duties, the whole thing can turn into an aimless fustercluck that just makes the whole thing an unpleasant ordeal. And you'd be surprised (or maybe not) how many league/team leaders seem to think everyone is an expert who has done Keyes a hundred times and could do it in their half-sleep like you can, and who seem to think we are all endowed with telepathy and the ability to magically self-coordinate the terminal power-ups.
I keep doing these trials in the hope that someday I will be less dependent on good leadership, more capable of adapting tactically to the situation, and better equipped to make a greater (smarter?) contribution to these trials overall. But I can definitely relate to the frustration others, especially newbies, experience on all the trials (except BAF where the only frustration comes from the time it takes to form a 24-person league of people who know that they are VIPs, and who know that they have to click the damn green button in order for it to start). -
Quote:I find absolutely nothing wrong with these 2 trials. Perhaps you're just not doing them right. Keyes is very reasonable now, to the point I can run it half asleep like a BAF and NOT die, and UG... Well, I don't play very much but the few times I have played, went through flawlessly...Originally Posted by TheJazMan
Keyes sucks and the UG is just annoying.
*Kanye shrug* Idk... -
And the answer to 2 is doubtful. *Kanye shrug*

I agree. The first toon I ran through Praetoria was a Loyalist but joined the Resistance on the last mission so I was, technically, against Cole but this new toon I'm running through has a backstory of being an "undercover agent for Cole." But it sucks I can't stay true to him, even in Paragon... Come to think of it, my backstory does say I'm infiltrating the Freedom Phalanx to learn Statesman's secrets for Cole so, in a sense, it kinda works... >.>...

Yeah, as stated above, once you complete the SF, the Notice comes attached to the badge. All you have to do is claim it from the badge tab. It's much like how the old Vet rewards used to be. Let's say you got a free tailor token from a Vet reward, you'd have to go into the badge tab and scroll down to the badge to claim the token? Well, essentially, it's like that... Except you can only claim it at 50.

Quote:No, it only works once. After you complete the Mortimer Kal SF in Sharkhead, you get the Prometheus badge (I think?) and NotW attached to it that you can claim when you're 50.Originally Posted by Kadra
You can also Get a Notice of the Well from running Kal SF in sharkshead. if gives you a temp power that can be exchanged for one just look in the badges tab. I do not know however if this can be done more then once. likely not.

Wait, what? O.o

The copy tool has been broke for a while. I believe you can ask for a level bump on Test however. Find folks with NCsoft_ in their name to ask. Usually on test in the afternoons Pacific time.
-
So I finally downloaded the beta server, everything's been installed but when I load the character transfer tool, my character list won't show up. Is it because all my characters are on Exalted? Or is it bugged?
EDIT: I PM'd Zwillinger and he cleared up for me that the character transfer tool is down for now. Thanks for reading and possibly replying! -
Another thing you can try is just using Incarnate Threads, since all slots pretty much can use Threads for their components now.
-
So what is this extra Boss? O.o
-
Each alignment has their own set of titles that pertain to said alignment. So switching sides would take off whatever title you had before but only cuz it doesn't fit in with the theme of that alignment. Make sense?
You can still get titles during whatever alignment you are but they won't be the same as what you had before if you switch sides. -

Building new... Hence me saying, "upgrading." -
Quote:Well, I'm slowly gonna be upgrading the hardware on the computer.Originally Posted by newchemicals
Memory is so cheap, I would just buy 2x2GB and call it done.
That being said, how much do you have now? If you already have 2GB, going to 3 or 4 GB won't make much difference for CoH anyways.
Another forumite said it did but after testing my machine with 2GB and 4GB even after 4 trials on each configuration and playing for 3+ hours there was no difference in game performance.
Now if you have 1GB then yes, get more. If you already have 2GB, I would say it would be wiser to start saving up for a computer upgrade where you replace the MB, CPU and get DDR3 memory. -
Okay, so I've come here before looking for answers but for the life of me, I can't find any of my older posts. Anywho, so I was looking at specs for my computer again and I remember someone telling me I could get up to 4GB of RAM on this.
I have a Compaq Presario SR5510F desktop. These are the RAM specs:
Installed Size: 2.0 GB / 4.0 GB (max)
Technology: DDR2 SDRAM
Memory Speed: 800.0 MHz
Memory Specification Compliance: PC2-6400
Form Factor: DIMM 240-pin
Configuration Features: 2 x 2 GB
So I was looking on the Best Buy website (comparison shopping) and I found a PNY Optima 2GB PC2-6400 DDR2 DIMM Memory. The specs all seem to match the RAM specs for my desktop.
Now, my question is: Would I be able to remove my 2 sticks of RAM and install 2 of the PNY sticks or would I just have to buy 1 PNY and install it with the 2 I already have, since there is an extra slot on the motherboard?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And any other advice on how to further upgrade my desktop would be helpful as well Thank you.
