Scarlet Shocker

Is it just me or is claiming account items for new characters a real PITA? The issue is that once Incarnate items get mixed up in there, it's impossible to Claim All on a level 1 character.

sometimes... just occasionally... I'm really glad I'm a child of the 60s and some of these new fangled ideas pass me by

See if he does the same thing a few times. If he does, invade Scotland!

I like these changes but especially like the sensitive way they have been dealt with by the Community Team. Thanks everyone.

I did wonder that... but it seems odd that some enemies conned right but the majority were uber-tough. Fortunately we were on a couple of robust cruppers so survived but it's a definite annoyance, and has potentially very negative consequences on less experienced players.

I was doing my patron arc - go get some info from Ghost Widow's tower. So I wander in and I'm met by a bunch of Fortunatas on the other side of the door.

The big problem with that is there were 6 of them and I was in a duo. We were 37 and these Forts were 43. We beat them and managed to complete the mish with a bit of ghosting but it does seem like a bug, especially as there were a couple of NPC enemies who were conning as yellow 38s. The vast majority were these Fortunatas at 43.

Is this WAI or is it broken? I petitioned at the time and got a belated response but no additional info forthcoming.

dang too far away but have a great night! Happy wosname!

I know... but they didn't turn off the forums!

so I have to read stuff and talk about the game instead of playing it!!!!

Maybe we need to turn off the whole INTERNET!

Yay! Runs off to do stuff and hopes they fix the lag!

I'm saying this:

Nobody dies, but we might get somebody come back to life (War Witch/Numina possibly)

I'm basing this on the fact that the Devs often stretch things - for example the War Walls coming down and being able to blow up scenery etc.

Yes, both doable but very limited - they get us going and it's fun how they manage it so don't think this is a criticism but I strongly suspect we're being wrong-footed here.

Be fun to find out tho

I noticed this the other day. I'm glad it wasn't me going crazy. (Ok, ok...)

As others have suggested maybe it's just getting you that boost because if you are a new player you probably won't have access to the Vet Weapons... and if you do, getting to lvl 2 or level 3 isn't exactly cumbersome.

I guess there's been a shift in attitude - when I first joined the game getting to level 10 in an afternoon would be considered pretty good going for a new toon, now it's as though they want you to be there ASAP.

No bad thing IMO.

Hey Devs... any chance of some more downtime pls?

See the thing is I've got some real important stuff I need to do but I keep getting distracted by Freedom and I am compelled to play the game as much as possible. They only time I can't is when I'm a) sleeping or b) there's downtime.

I'm an insomniac.

Please help

Ah Phil you know you can always send me a tell mate

I agree it's hard to know which channel to join but I find that most of the action seems to take place in EXALTED-UNITED which, whilst getting the action is burdened by a clumsy name.

I have not found (yet) a decent RP channel for Exalted tho and that could be very useful

ok I'm gonna be slightly philosophical here but this point bothers me a lot:

There are way too many boards on that I'd completely agree - I'd lay odds that this is part of the unholy mess that includes the logout bug - but merging the AT boards is going to result in chaos as others have said.

Also, change the software from vBulletin to XenForo. That is all

The whole "intuition" thing with the Itrials is kind of counter-intuitive [sic] I think. None of them can be won simply by running through the map and hitting stuff - and that is a notable change from the original content where most stuff with a few exceptions is simply "run through the map, bash stuff until it's all dead and achieve the odd secondary objective."

The problem is that the Devs were begged to provide more variation, but when they do, sometimes they haven't quite got the balance perfect. They are damned if they do, damned if they don't in that sense.

Personally I feel that the end game should be tougher than the regular content - by the time players get to Incarnate stage it's hoped they should have a good feel for game play and an extra challenge is exactly what's needed - doubly so given how much the game's been dumbed down over the last few years.

If it's simply a question of people failing to follow instruction, that indicates to me at least that the other trials would fail as frequently as Keyes but that doesn't seem to be the case - but maybe it's simply the additional complexity that throws people and no easy way to mitigate that pulse which does seem to be excessive

It would be nice to think they could do two batches... take down half the servers and leave the others up for at least scheduled maintenance.

Probably doable but the cost/benefit economics things won't work
