    I've read through your post and responses on this several times, and the things you're saying just don't make sense.

    We don't know what kind of Slotting Time Manipulation will need. We do know that in order to get the pool, you have to make a new character.
    I'm sorry you don't understand this. Let me post some screen shots of what I mean but I can't do it now. Check back later.

    That was then Leandro. My MM is 50+2 now.

    I play on Freedom now( I think it's high volume). I've played on Union which was low volume. The VIP could be worse with extremely low volume. This is my concern.

    I didn't like the play on Union.

    I think that's some of the confusion. Are you saying that you will only have 1 single Controller at any one time and that you can't start a second one with the new powerset while the old one is still on the account? That's the only way that Time Manipulation will have an effect on your existing character - your personal decision to only have a single controller at a time.

    If that's not what you mean (your account will only have one controller at a time) then I'm not sure you understand the respec process.
    But the respec will probably allow me to apply slots to it like the prestige powers.
    But since I don't know...I'll wait.

    In regards to your "still be a healer" comment, I'm hoping to just select more powers from the Ancillary Power & Inherent(tp, stealth, fight, etc.) Pools this round.

    I'm done with controllers, I will not be created anymore. All my crowd control new characters are dominators who have offensive powers. My issue is about retaining the 1 controller I have now.

Also, who/what is Heartless Attitude? I know that isn't a named NPC required for Dimensional Warder.
    To answer this question specifically, Heartless Attitude is my hero mastermind. Tina Macintrye and Maria Jenkins are the two primary contacts for these Praetorian mishes. I remember this well because that specific weekend my friend who brought me to the game came back to the game and both of our characters where at 46. I did it to help him level and it was such a great time, he lead and we did it again.

    If your chara has serious issues, a respec can help. But don't feel pressed to respec just because you can now change a few percentages here or there. (Unless you really want to do the min/maxing, of course. Then, by all means, go ahed!)

    Your decision should not have anything to do with upcoming new powersets, though.
    Good Advice, I don't respec much I'm doing it now for several reasons:

    1. My controller can't not pull her weight in the Incarnate Game. She needs stronger more offensive powers.

    2. I want to try to completely fill the powers I select. Tweaks for bettter control/consistency.

    3. I've learned more about the game since I've come and I need to apply that knowledge in newer builds. Some powers don't work as I thought or I don't really use them much according to herostat analysis over the past few months.

    Otherwise, why would you want to delete one chara just because you want to create another?
    This is a personal comment here. The healer types are wonderful but they get little credit in this game. That's why I want to delete this specific character. The game doesn't reward these types for the work they do. Since I don't get rewarded for my work here, my character gets deleted. Time Manipulation may make the character more valuable so I'll wait before I delete. Only MMs and Controllers get this power.

    I have no interest in playing on a low end server, why did you mention this? I'm on Freedom now and played on Union which I felt was very low and my account there is inactive now.

    4. VIP. Once a new costume set comes out on the market and you'll see you have a mountain of Paragon Points stored, you'll probably take interest in them then.
    I have 4 slots for each of my character's to change. I use 2 maybe. Unless they give us more costume slots having a zillion pieces of armor won't change that. How many costumes can you wear? How many times do you change costumes in a game? I know some do this but this just isn't my thing. I'll pay for new content but not costume pieces one at a time. I bought the packs in the past but I don't really use them that much.

    It won't stop me from playing only respecing

    2. You're talking about the Praetorians that Null shows you for the Dimensional Warder badge? Yes, I've clicked on him on a character that has them all and he told me I had them all. Seemed to work for me.
    May I ask if it was done recently? I farmed Heartless Attitude in those two specific mishes several times and she shows zero completion. I ran them as the leader and several times as a member of a team in roughly the same week/weekend too.

    4. I'm staying VIP on my main account, and really considering going to Premium on my secondary account. The deciding factor for me there will be if Incarnate content is a purchasable item in the Paragon Market. Even if I could purchase it on a character-by-character basis, I would change my second account to Premium.
    This is my plan right now.

    Respec is a time killer. It takes time and with the new powers coming, I'll respec and then maybe have to do it again at Freedom. Playtime is more important to me than wasting respec tokens/coupons. Also, when I redeemed the prestige powers there were like 3 slots but I could only use 1 slot in each because of my slot limit. I would like to avoid situations like that...having powers but not being able to slot them completely is kind of frustrating.
  10. My characters need a respec badly. I was planning to take a weekend later this month to do it but with all of these new powers coming I'm probably going to wait.

    1.Does anyone know what the time manipulation powers are and how many slots will be needed for each power in this set? For the past 6 months, I've been grooming a dominator replacement for my controller. She's at 45 now and I was planning to delete the controller when the dominator hits 50. But with these new powers, I may delay her execution.

    2.Also, I was in pocket d and I clicked on Null the Gull. I could of sworn I killed all of those enemies on all of my characters when I maturated them but I"m showing I haven't killed any of them. Is anyone showing completed when you click on the bird? Do you have to defeat the enemies personally or as part of group too?

    3.Also, how many of you are going to move to the VIP server? VIP sounds nice but Freedom has so many people. This game will become very different if played on a low volume server.

    4.Finally, how many of you plan to stay VIP or go to F2P/Premium? I'll probably stay VIP but the Paragon Points don't really interest me at all. I really wish they would fix some of the incarnate bugs(cooldown timers, disconnects, and Trial leader bump). I've crafted so many slots I really would like to be able to use them more during play.

    NO, about stuff I can't post about due to forum rules. This helpdesk is full of the sharpest people I ever seen. I've included screenshots about exploits but they refuse to fix them.

    No, I wonder what the purpose of this unit is because all they do is push every bug, tech question, problem to the forums. They should just post an OOF message and say go to the forums.
  13. Here's what you guys can't put together and EU hasn't said. He's a girl....

    But seriously, we have only 5 slots. I could see making 5 different costumes.

    Just curious, do you make costumes for your characters or do you do total redesigns with new everything? I keep the same characters so my friends recognize me. I only do costume edits.
  14. Kioshi,

    I wondered whether to answer this because this is pretty subjective.

    Myself, I bought them all so I could get that unique look for my characters. Mix and match with the most options.

    The ones I use the most are the archetypes ones(SBs I-V). For all of the talk about new booster packs(steampunk, animal, origins) I have not used a single selection out of those packs yet.

    I would buy them now though. Pricing may change in the future(PP not finalized yet) and the 50% off sales are pretty sweet. With the $.50 per option you'll pay a whole lot more for the same stuff under pp.
  15. Your problem will soon be solved with paragon points
  16. If they do ever make them a playable faction I would hope they would get some creatively different options for the powersets. For example, if I chose a mastermind, I would want to be able to choose between Warworks, Clockworks, PPD,Imperial Defense Forces or Ghouls as minions and to be able to call down shots like the shots like war walkers.

    Yes, they have a helpdesk, Zombie Man. You definitely don't want to ask me anymore questions about this topic.
  18. I was just thinking about this. Didn't Avatea says she was looking for a new job or taking a new one? I remember her saying California was so expensive.
  19. The Weekly Strike Targets for this week are the Admiral Sutter Task Force and the Mortimer Kal Strike Force.

    This was the response from the Helpdesk this morning.

    @Aggelakis, we generally only have maintenance on a Tuesday if there is a patch or some other problem. Normal maintenance is on Thursday for 2 hours.
    the WST doesn't change until 2pm uk time. You did it before the change.

    ok rant done :P
    Because they don't care. The last two months have fallen on holiday weekends. This is getting to be a joke. Everyone is doing everything at the last minute here. The world is not on California time!!! I could use the +7 hours to get ahead of the week especially during the long weekends.
  22. I was under the idea that "you could allow others" to join your trial in progress only by clicking the special button(basically to account for drops/quits). I don't think you can personally invite after you go in.
  23. I had hopes for that but I think you'll be waiting a long, long time.
    The Pratorians get a bump to 25 in the next release so you maybe be able enjoy new content. I have a few praetorians I'm intentionally not playing with the hope they'll be able to go to 50 one day. Cross your fingers!!

    2. They could have put the HQ somewhere else, that's my point. They definitely showed their superiority with that decision.

    4. Starscream was so limp in Bay's version. They should have just cut his scenes, he added nothing in this movie(part III).

    Are you serious? The allspark was different but the tentacled thing Shockwave rode was just weird.
