Quote:QFT. Like in a real club, make sure you look okay (write a bio for your character that describes them and the sort of RP you'd like), look around (read other people's bios) and if you see someone who seems interesting, walk up and say hi (walk up and say "hi").Originally Posted by Warp_Factor
I'm mostly elaborating on what others have already said, but if you hit the D try to think of it like it was a real nightclub, not like it's all-purpose RP space. People standing by themselves won't approach you, because if they were so inclined they'd have already done it. The odds are good, though, that they're hoping you approach them and say hello. Groups may or may not appreciate a stranger intruding on their conversation, because just like in real life sometimes people just want to hang out with their friends. You aren't owed anything just because you zoned into the D, so it's important to understand the social environment you're going into and how to make it work for you. The more you think of it like it were a real place, the more you'll get out of it. -
Quote:Eh, didn't suck so much for me - if not for the gating, I would have had a choice on Strike Pack launch day to either run 4 STFs in a row on my main, burn out and spend a few months hating the game, or spend every moment logged in with the knowledge that I could have had my Very Rare by now but I don't because I'm *weak*, and spend a few months hating the game.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
It shouldn't matter because gating content on a TIMER just sucks.
If someone runs back-to-back TFs, all day long they deserve the rewards. The only reason I'm upset (and mildly so at that) is because time-gating stuff is just...yuck.
Now I have my two Rares, one Notice, and Uncommon on my main, and I know I'm one LGTF and next week's WTF away from my Very Rare. Every moment is spent in pleasant anticipation and I love the game. -
Quote:Which might be exactly the reason they stopped at 36 slots per server.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Yeah but there's a big difference between paying a one time fee to unlock extra slots and paying additional recurring fees for a second or third account.

Quote:I think I read that manga.Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
Now, add some... non-standard pantheons to the mix. I think Britannia (UK), Marianne (France), and Rodina-Mat (Russia) are all good candidates for godhood.
Then Uncle Sam and John Bull can go hang out. Or get into a bar brawl, either way. -
I'm gonna make sting operations. Start a trial account, roll a character, use the "Help me!" prompt, and if anyone gives me purposefully bad info, /petition them to the GMs.

You can break them down into Incarnate Shards, but at a net loss.

Quote:Alternately, like in that joke I can't repeat on a PG-13 board, "now we're just haggling over the price".Originally Posted by Toony
In a way, yes. As it basically feels insulting to me and it seems is being used as a method to say "Heres your option! Now you can't complain anymore! HAHAHA!"
-
Think of it like this. "Okay, you hate TFs, but *how much* do you hate TFs? Do you hate TFs so much that you'd rather spend weeks or months gathering 88 Shards and 100 mil Inf than running *one* specific TF in one specific week? Okay then, fair enough. Have your Notice."

Quote:This will inevitably cause people to complain they are forced, FORCED I TELL YOU, to resort to RMT to get their Incarnate powers.Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
Sweet. That's all I wanted.
Now please, devs, make the inf cost more than just a token amount. We need more inf sinks in this game. 50s can earn inf hand over fist these days, and we have very little to actually spend it on.
Not saying it shouldn't be done, just pointing out the obvious. -
My main's a Storm Defender, specced for support. I also have an Empath that I specifically Alpha-unlocked to get on Incarnate teams. Staying on the backlines and supporting my allies is a playstyle I love, and if it makes it easier for my characters to get on PuG teams, so much the better.

Quote:At a guess, it's an option for the "animal torso" - so you can't have the T-shirt and *not* have the stripes.Originally Posted by Johnstone
If that's a real screenshot and not something that they doctored for the article, I'm going to be quite happy. If you don't get why, take a good look at it. Stripe pattern with a t-shirt. If this is going to be possible, awesome, I just hope it also bleeds over to other patterns/combos.

He was identified as Joe, the Longbow Eagle in a MA arc by the guy who then went on to be hired by Paragon Studios and become Dr. Aeon. So it's almost half-canon.

Quote:Every time we've asked the current artists about four-legged creatures, we were told that "animation rigs for quadrupeds don't exist in the game, we'd have to code one up from scratch".Originally Posted by Healix
I wasn't making up stories..there were cows in the game. You could hit them, but they wouldn't move, only "moooo". I have been playing since April 28th, 2004. People can think I am making it up if they want, but it's the truth.
So basically, if you were remembering correctly, it would mean that the original devteam made up a quadruped animation rig, used it for a single type of NPC, and then removed both the NPC type *and* the animation rig from the code completely. Given what we know about the game's development process, that would be a *colossal* waste of development time and effort, both of which they were very short on.
Also, I've asked someone who played since the pre-order beta, and he was positive there were never cows in Perez.
I'll be charitable and assume you're misremembering. -
Quote:Yes! I helped my SG run another STF at +2 (which was +1 to me). And then we ran an ITF. Lots of Shards, lots of Inf (I'm 10 million away from my last Inf badge!).Originally Posted by Wicked_Wendy
Ummm taking this thread off on a small side trip. Okay you have a 50 (+1) now. Have you played them since?
-
Quote:So... you apologise if you posted in the right section? Because you really wanted to post in the wrong one...?
(Sorry if this isn't the wrong section) 
-
There's really no place in the interface where you can see your own (+1). Go to Peregrine Island and check if the level 50 minions con blue, that's how you'll know it's working.

Quote:We had a Kinetics/, a Storm/ and a /Storm popping out to buff the Tank occasionally. Mostly we had quite a lot of stacked Leadership and the ability to take down hard targets fast, so we could take down the red tower before the Tank ran out of oranges.Originally Posted by Wicked_Wendy
Is an EMP the only answer.. No not at all. I did one with an Ill/? Controller that had his Phantom Army enhanced to PERMA and he used them to keep LR busy. In case you don't know PA can't be defeated on even injured so the AV can pound on them for hours and they are still alive. Did another where the Fire/Kin somehow managed to work with the Tank and keep LR occupied until we had the towers down.

Since any character can go up against godlike beings in the 45-50 range, it makes no sense within the game to play a character who doesn't have at least the *potential* to challenge godlike beings with seven of their friends. (Unless you freeze their XP gain at some low level, but that's really going out of your way to play an under-powered concept.)
My Incarnate level 50s are: 1) Ones that are badge collectors, to go after the assorted badges involved in the system, 2) Ones that are good team support characters, so they can help out on Incarnate Trials. -
Once again, Silver Gale gets the shiny on Day 1.
PuG'd the STF with a Grav/Storm controller, a Tank, a Scrapper, a Kinetics Defender, two SoAs and a Stalker. We tried for Master's, but had 11 deaths in the end (one on Silver Mantis, one on Ghost Widow, rest on Recluse). Still, with all the Leadership going around, we were Defense-capped the whole way and pouring out the damage on hard targets.
I kind of got caught unprepared, I meant to run a Mothership Raid and a Cathedral of Pain at some point, but I kept thinking "Eh, the Strike Pack's probably a ways off, I have plenty of time". So of course I had no Penumbra of Rularuu and no Gr'ai Matter, and only 93 Vanguard Merits.
I wanted to try and run Borea missions, but the first one game me three Vanguard Merits total, so I just spent 8 shards on both components.
Need another three weeks for the Very Rare, but it's completely doable. I hope the CoP is the WTF at some point. -
Quote:Only if he says that again right after he's captured, and once more after Recluse is beaten.Originally Posted by Mandu
If the team had dawdled through the mission taking long breaks to chat or rp then Aeon would merely wave at the camera and say "Don't want to take up any of your time guys so I'll just say "Good luck, we're all counting on you".

Quote:Even for those of us who can and do run TFs frequently, an alternate path would be nice because it would give us more choices in how to work on our Alpha boosts. Right now, I have a choice between re-running the same TF on every character I want a Rare boost on, or doing other things and not getting any closer to the third and fourth tiers. Boredom or no rewards: not a fun choice to make.Originally Posted by jediknightcub
For those of us who do not have the time to commit to multiple hours as required of TF/SFs, those of us who play during off-peak hours (as I usually do), and those of us who just have bad timing when it comes to getting on TF/SF teams, I'm asking for the devs to give us an alternate method--perhaps similar to the common/uncommon component acquisition--to experience the upper tiers of the incarnate system.

Quote:Fix'd. The bonus merits and Notice are granted before the table pops up (or about at the same moment).Originally Posted by Djeannie
- Do STF/LRSF
- Gain bonus merits
- Gain notice of the well if you have incarnate unlocked.
- Get Reward Table
- Choose Reward (incarnate component, merits, s/ho)

Quote:Every time I post something like "It costs me 50 million to buy a recipe and 10 million to buy the salvage, that's like 150 million just for one IO!" I get twenty people jumping all over me saying horrible mean things like "Um, 50 + 10 = 150? Really?" or "You might want to check your math there" or "here, you can borrow my calculator". CLEARLY THE MARKET FORUMS ARE GANGING UP ON ME.Originally Posted by Fulmens
You have access to the same tools of logic, reason, and rhetoric that I do. You cannot be shouted down with volume. You cannot be arbitrarily silenced by another player. I didn't get "mod's pet" status when I hit 10,000 posts. You cannot be bullied or intimidated unless you let yourself be.
We have the same tools, you and I. (Or you and Yomo, all_hell, Nethergoat, whomever.) If you get "shot down" it might be because your ideas weren't very bulletproof. -
Quote:Because agreeing with someone on the forums is *totally* the same thing as joining a TF team in game, and there is no reason a person would be capable of doing one but not the other.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
They seem totally ok with teaming up for that kind of thing
