Is it still too early on in the running of this trial to have an 'established' strategy for it yet? Is there a preferred way of running it that seems to work better than others? An AT set (or power) that tends to be a little more useful than another?
This is awesome information by the way, Trickshooter. Thanks for stepping up and taking time out of your day to compile and compose all this! Mad props, sir. -
Dr Who Meets Heavy Metal
This guy is amazing. There's also the Trollolo song, Lord of the Rings, Braveheart, and this one...
Hey I just saw this, and I think it's crazy... so here's the linky, so watch it maybe. -
Quote:Welcome back Zek! It's good to see you here again!How's tricks? Is Badge around at all? Anyone? (I ask that because of the 'filming has started' message in the one global, which... well, that was a long time ago indeed.)
I'm sorry to hear about all the bad things that have happened - life blows chunks our way sometimes. But, lemons, lemonade etc etc blah blah blah, right? It's good to have you back no matter how long you're here for
Badge hasn't been on in quite some time. I am not sure what happened to him, and it kind of worries me. (As a side note: If anyone knows if he's ok, could you at least let us know, and pass on our 'BADGE!!!!!!!' message to him, please?)
Anyhow, welcome back!!!! -

Wow, that's a really horrible splash screen. I mean, really bad. The costume is bad, the drawing is bad... everything about that screen is bad.
Please tell me there's a way to change it so that I can pick my own. I'd prefer the shot of Statesman's groin to this new one. -

I would also really, really, REALLY like a way to block out the annoying [Admin] blah blah blah, blahdy I don't give a crap blah spam that happens during events.
Or at least a way to make it NOT appear on every freakin channel. -
Am I the only one who would LOVE to see the AH be account based for sold items? I hate having to log in all the chars and see if anyone has something sold on the AH. Ergh.
Also, I'd love to have a command that would allow me to see what zones are having an event on whatever server I am on. That way, I don't idle in a zone with an event (already died because of the Nemesis one!). Maybe /zoneevent ?
Anything else nitpicking in your mind? -
We actually succeeded. We had several +3's helping out with their clarions, but I *think* the majority were 50s, or 50+1. I got Judgement and Interface unlocked on one of my toons, and got up to 14% open on Destiny.
We died a LOT, but it was a good amount of fun too; at least I had a lot of fun, but that could have been the Tartan Ale talking. Good group of people, and overall we listened to the instructions. I suspect that had a lot to do with getting through it as well.
Anyone have the actual count of what was on the trial in the way of 50/50+1, etc? -
I suspect this will be a great success and will be more than a one-time event. As such, I really don't have a problem bringing a +3 to this event to help with heals/debuff, because I know that someone else will swap out the next time and bring a +3 so I can bring a 50.
Now... to get the WST so I can unlock +1 alpha on my plant/kin. -

Quote:Which reminds me, I need the WST and my dark controller will be +1.However, to answer your question, if you have 50+3s running trials, it's extremely easy to get that first level shift. Run the Ramiel arc**, and/or buy an Alpha unlock with your 50+3. 40 astrals (not hard to accumulate if you're running your 50+3) converted in the mail to 40 shards, plus one WST gets a tier 3 alpha.
Just like that, you're not a flat 50 anymore.
**people, most definitely including myself, are always willing to help run that arc if you need help on a less survivable toon. -
Working together is great. I've seen trials that have been superawesomefantastic because of the good levels of teamwork. Everyone is helping everyone else, there's synergy, and there's cohesion. Those teams are awesome.
When there are too many non-level shifted toons on a trial, I (and other buffers) end up having to take single target buffs, most specifically AB and fort away from level shifted toons and put them on the flat 50s to help them can stay up. There are times when the main tank(s) has faceplanted because I wasn't able to heal him fast enough because my power hadn't recharged from keeping the flat 50 up.
It's not fair to the rest of the team to potentially let the tank go down and possibly cause a team wipe because a non level shifted toon is taking the bulk of my attention and buffs.
Think of it as a giant tug of war. Sure, that 98 lb weakling on the team is helping, but everyone else on the team is getting more rope burn on their hands than necessary because they have to pull harder to make up for the lack of strength. A better scenario would be the 98 lb weakling realizesthis, and allows his 200 lb weight lifting cousin to substitute in on the team. The war goes more smoothly and there's less rope burn. -

I use it as a set mule for a cheap set of purples. I hardly ever use it though.

Quote:I used to love the herding for the sake of herding. I remember SWA herded the Drek map once to see 'how many freaks is too many freaks.' His status protection got broken through at 200, and he faceplanted. Good times!Lack of Aggro Cap: I used to love seeing a single tank haul over half a map of wolves. That was a herd. And if you were lucky, you got to see the entire street of skulls and hellions running at you in Perez. That..was epic. Now..16. really. Meh!
Quote:Monster Island Come On Down: I used to love seeing the huge herd of Monsters get dragged over by the Rad toggles used by the toon that was actually under the PI map. Now they have ways to keep the Monsters out. I miss that. If they took the war walls down..it would be fun to drag them to the AE building in Atlas Park... -
Saw this on another forum and thought it'd be something cool to have here; a thread to post the names of players we miss in game.
I'll start.
I miss:
Thirsty (who became my best friend irl)
SWA (the Dutchy and all-around bad-a tank)
Badge (never saw anyone die so much or have so much fun doing it! Monster Mashup!)
Ish (the purple menace and Hami Cuddler)
Ice9 (he likes to pee in your cereal!)
Who are you missing, Protector? -
-
I'm at home, so I can't really check numbers, but isn't the resistance in shadow fall for negative, energy and psi and maybe fear, but the defense is to all? That might give you some extra slots to move around in the build.

I've heard lots of good things about Time as a set in general be it as a secondary or a primary. I have a time toon but it's not that high. I may have to work on one and see how it goes.
-
Dark. You can do anything with dark!
I also have a /time as well - which ever one I like more will stay on Protector and the other will get transferred to another server.
