IP addresses man. It's like your phone number.
But, I am not worried either.
I was just joking with you, hence the

I'm done. lol
So, I got a VR on a DD Trial yesterday, good times.

Quote:I am not worried about someone hacking my City of Heroes account to find out my location, because they won't find anything.Originally Posted by T_Immortalus
I didn't know. I thought any base over-seas was considered "deployed".
I still think it is, but it is fine if you are actually in a different location.
I also think the security concern is not just about willingly given out information but also about possible hacks by enemies of private information about military personnel locations.
But, that's probably not a risk unless we were at war with a technologically highly sophisticated force.
Anyway, it was more in jest than anything else.
Overseas home stations are not considered deployed. Deployed is when youre in a combat zone or directly supporting a combat zone in a operational theater (i.e Africa, Southwest Asia, Philippines, etc)
There is no issues with saying that I am deployed. There is no issues with saying I live in Japan normally. There is nowhere on the internet that I have said where I am deployed. I even turned off location services on Facebook, I really know what I am doing.
Now the thread has gotten way off topic. .. -
Quote:Umm.. that is not a deployed location. That is my home. I am not there, I am deployed. I have lived at Kadena AFB for 2 years. Obviously you are not in the military, because you would know that telling people the my home is in Japan is not a violation of OPSEC.Originally Posted by T_Immortalus
Look at your forum location listing.
Deployed means I am in a location other than my home... I did not disclose that location.
Again, I am not new to this, I know what I am doing. Thank you for your concern though. -
Quote:I understand when I can and can't identify myself as part of the military. An online gaming forum where I do not know anyone, did not share any location information, and nobody knows my name will not be an issue. Thanks for the concern though.Originally Posted by T_Immortalus
Uh oh!
They tell you to not identify as part of the military, unless you have to, for a reason.
You can do what you want, but I wouldn't want to risk getting into trouble.
Thank you all for the information and links (especially that Trial Summary page) I got a pretty good grasp on the iTrials now as I have had a little more time to play as of recent. -
Thanks! That was just what I was looking for.
I was really into the game when the incarnate system first started, got my 'favorite' Brute all T4 doing a bazillion BAFs and Lambda Trials. Then I took a 'break' from CoH.
I just recently came back, and the Brute previously mentioned now sits on a F2P account. So I have been trying to get my main up to T4 on my only VIP account, but time is a factor as I am deployed right now, in the US Air Force.
I did TPN for the first time the other day, I saw those 60 threads and was all excited... I thought that may have been my best bet, plus it offers that rare costume peice. I will just do a ton of those
(And the repeatable missions too) -
Could anyone direct me to a thread, or reply, to what the rewards are for each trial? I know that the reward tables at the end are random. I mean more-so what I should expect from each trial. Like how many Astrals, Emp merits, threads, etc... per run.
I tried searching around here with no luck. I can't access ParagonWiki to search there whilst I am at work.
The reason I ask is that I am limited in gaming time on some days, sometimes I only have 30-40 minutes to play. So I was wondering what the best reward/time ratio is. -
I should also point out that as a tank I slot it for taunt so every time I use it, I also aggro everything in range...plus those set bonuses are pretty nice for pretty cheap
-
I like slotting them with Mocking Beratement for the 7.5% recharge set bonus plus S/L Defense... that set also has quite a bit of recharge in and of itself... but you gotta have the slots to spare... or perfect zinger for only 5% recharge bonus if you havent hit the 'rule of 5' for that set bonus

Quote:That makes sense, and I suppose it preserves the market somewhat... but damn, I was hoping to swap my Crushing Impacts...Originally Posted by Plasma
Nope. PvP IOs and Purples do not participate in Category conversions, to or from. They can only do out of set at the rarity level, and in-set.
Yet you can convert from Rare to Uncommon and vice versa using the category setting.
Why? The devs only know, though it's safe to say that if you could convert a crushing impact to a Hecatomb, that might have a crushing impact on the purple market. -
Could you do a category conversion from say a LOTG to a PvP or purple? If not, why?
It would seem that they separated them for a reason, the category vs rarity. I would think that if you are limited by rarity when you convert for rarity, you would only be limited by category, and not rarity for the other way.... if that makes sense lol -
I just understand how people made so much influence off this... makes me sad as I am currently "struggling" with around 150Mil total on my toons... good thing I don't have any big projects lined up in the near future.

Quote:Enhancement Boosters can be bought from the Paragon Market to boost the % of an IO. As many as 5 can be used on each IO, so you can essentially make a level 50 IO level 55.Originally Posted by RogerWilco
What is +5 ?
I'm a total newbie.
As I do have money, but little time to gather inf in game, the store bought IOs seemed interesting.
Do you get the actual IOs, or recipes, and what level are they?
I actually came to this forum looking for similar information as the OP.
Store bought enhancements can't be boosted with these. Boosting IOs really only makes sense for level 50 IOs as boosting a lower IO would be a waste as you can just buy the higher level IO later. -
Quote:I really wish I would have known you couldn't +5 a store bought IO. I found this out the hard way, after buying 2 sets of Kinetic Combat for my recently respec'd Scrapper. They were on sale, and I will respec them out for 'real' IOs. but I was frustrated for a few hours afterwards lolOriginally Posted by OneFrigidWitch
This is extremely useful. Buy from auctionhouse the ones you want to +5, and buy from the store the ones it doesnt matter (like damage procs).

Venomenon, although I haven't played it as much as I would have liked recently...

Updated Build mentioned above. Remember to turn Accolades and Incarnate ON.
(I also put the default base to-hit back to 75%)

This is the problem with the system in my opinion. Most people in game are not patient, and would rather farm this or that for an item, rather than just playing the game and eventually it coming to you.
Don't AFK farm for a PvP IO... go engage in PvP, the way its meant to be earned. Who cares if it takes forever, its a challenge. Like a previous poster said, don't want to shell out 500 mil on a very rare recipe? Go to a high level zone street sweeping or run a few story arcs full of enemies that could potential a) drop the recipe you want, or b) drop a recipe of greater value you can sell.
Better yet, work the market... play THAT game, seeing as its a game in itself. Buy cheap recipes that sell for much more crafted, and flip them till you get the money you need. -
Quote:Yea, I found it. Thanks.Originally Posted by Hopeling
It's in Options -> Configuration -> Exemping and Base Values, by the way, since I failed to mention that previously.
I dare say... I have made my build better already with you guys help. I took some advice from a friend also, and now I threw in Spring Attack, swapped out Energy Torrent for it. I lost a little recharge because I had to drop the leadership pool (LOTG 7.5%) for Super Jump...but thats ok. I made it so with Focused Accuracy running, I am sitting right at 100% Accuracy (with a base of 30, the lowest I can expect to see) on all powers.
The reason for Spring Attack is an Alpha Strike of my own, where I avoid enemy alpha strikes, as well as instantly get the defensive bonuses from Invincibility. Before, I used Shockwave as a way to avoid alpha strikes, but had to chase them down to get in range for Invincibility, no more! Ha!
So, my accuracy is no longer overkill. I also swapped some IOs around in the armors. I lowered my Energy and Neg Energy defense a bit (still over 40%) and added 3 sets of 3 pieces of Aegis, instead. So my defensive numbers will be around 43% S/L, 36% Fire/Cold, 41% E/NE. This all without Invincibility bonuses.
I have also traded out Nerve for Agility, now I just need to get to T4 again...
I will post later today, but for now you can get an idea
-
And I appreciate that...
I didn't know that you could tweak the base to-hit. That helps, learn something new everyday... even after all these years of tweaking builds. -
Quote:Ok, that gets me started. I like you am at work, actually I am deployed in the military, so I am REALLY at work :POriginally Posted by beowulf2010
I can't give you that number as I'm at work but I can give you a push in the right direction to figure it out for yourself.
According to Paragonwiki, you should have a base hit chance of 20% to hit a level 54 Arch Villain. (+4 Relative level for level 54, +5 relative level for Archvillain, -3 relative level for 3 level shifts.) A level 56 Boss should be a 30% hit rate. (+6 for level, +2 for Boss, -3 for Level Shift) Anyone else reading this, *PLEASE* correct me if I'm missing something about these relative level numbers.
So when you go into Mids, you'll look for an option to set the base hit chance for all Accuracy calculations. (It's 75% by default, replace this with the 20% or 30% or whatever other number you decide you want to use based on a http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Attack_M...cs#Data_Tables) I'm at work right now so I can't load up Mids and tell you exactly which tab the option is in or what the exact text reads as. I'll try to remember to look it up when I get home and edit this post tonight with more details.
This change to Mids will make it so that when you mouse of a power and look at the details, it will show you the actual in game percentage hit percentage against level 54 AV's (Or 56 Bosses if you used 30%) after all of your set bonuses, powers and Incarnate Abilities but before the target's Defense or ToHit DeBuffs.
But, I do have my laptop with me, so I can get to mids now, but ParagonWiki is blocked on my government PC (yet these forums aren't, yay me!). Together maybe me can work this thing out. -
Fair enough.
But what benefit will Agility vs. Nerve give me? I have more endurance/recovery than I can ever use, even with Focused Accuracy running, which is known as a end hog. Claws is a very quick recharging powerset itself. If there is no break in my attack chain:
Follow Up -> Shockwave -> Energy Torrent -> Spin -> Evicerate -> Focus/Follow Up -> Spin -> Evicerate... etc.
... Then why do I need more Recharge? Dull Pain? I am rarely getting hit, my health barely moves... Dull pain is already Perma and I rarely need it for healing purposes. Damage is also already past the ED cap.
The only attributes that you really can't ever have enough of is Defense... hence another reason for Nerve (Accuracy + Defense). If I drop nerve, most of those powers go down to around 215% and my defense for the most common forms of attack go just below the soft cap of 40%.
What accuracy percentage would one look for to ensure an attack hits the majority of the time when fighting purple-con enemies without debuffs? -
Quote:True, but what about when I am fighting level 54-56 Incarnate Content? Which is what the majority of my playtime with be spent doing... it is helpful there.Originally Posted by DreadShinobi
You honestly don't need anywhere near that much accuracy. Hell you could get rid of both focused accuracy and the normal Acc IOs in KC slotted powers and you would still be fine.
-
Let me preface with stating the I am a tier 9 vet, so this build has no travel powers. Also, in this issue on Mids, you can't yet slot ATOs, so in the power [Shockwave], you will find a random assortment of similar IOs, that will be catalyzed ATOs in game. Feel free to critique, but after much thought, this is the build I am going with. I just thought I would share my love of this build with the community.
Please when looking at the build in Mids make sure you have Accolades and Incarnate powers ON, because that is how I have it in game. I already have all the accolades and my tier 4 Alpha Incarnate slotted, so I am not trying to cheat the Totals stats with future bonuses.
This build has crazy amount of Accuracy, about +250% on most powers. It has a net endurance gain of 2.55 end/sec (with Focused Accuracy running!). Once the catalyzed ATOs are slotted, over 130% global recharge. Capped Smashing, Lethal, Energy, and Neg Energy Defense. Capped Hit points (with Perma Dull Pain), and solid Regen for a Invul.
All attacks are solidly (when I say solidly, I mean in the red, percentage wise) slotted with damage, accuracy, and recharge. I have almost every power, that can benefit, at +5 with enhancement boosters... this is intended, and it is how it is in-game.
This is my main... the one toon I will focus on in all endeavors. My attack chain will be full, quick, and deadly. I won't ever need endurance, I won't ever wait for an attack. and I will very rarely miss on any of those attacks. And very, very rarely, will I be hit by anything in PvE situations (with the exception of Incarnate content). This is, IMO, my perfect build! I hope you enjoy!

I know this is an old thread, but I am having the exact same issues with my Alienware notebook. WHat do you mean by WindowsSkinner? Do you mean the Alienware Windows Theme, Breed? So if I reset my theme to windows Aero or basic it should work?

Last time I updated through Windows Update...
-
When I try to log into the game i get the following error
"The procedure entry point GetLogicalProcessorInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNAL32.dll."
I read somewhere I may need to update to SP3 being as I am currently running WinXP SP2.
The last time I tried to install SP3 windows became corrupt and I had to do a full re-install of my OS, very sad day... I don't want to have to redo that whole process...
