Quoting myself:

Ok spent a few hours last night and I think I figured the problem. The main issue is YOU CANNOT TELL VISUALLY WHEN LEVEL SHIFTED.
The devs need to make your "50" on the UI say 53, 55, 59 etc. Here is why:
The level shift buff from the Lightwells HAS A LIMITED AOE SIZE. I noticed people that never died did not have a level shift. I know for a fact it has limited radius, what I also think its team specific. If someone not on your team kills a well no buff. Likewise if you are not in range.
I observed this on leagues yesterday. On a league of 24 only about 40% were +9 shifted. Also, each well gives only a +2 shift because I noticed several people only 55 at times.
Ultimately, the devs need to add a numerical value to the UI that shows your level plus shifts. This is the main issue. Players are not noticing they are not shifted. -

I keep seeing a lot of different things tossed around. I have been in 5 groups and only the first one was successful and it had 51's and 52's in it...
So what gives? What causes his gigantic health spikes? -
Ok double hit says it is based off the BASE DAMAGE of a power. What exactly is the base damage?
Take KO blow on a brute which does approx 150 damage. Does this mean the base is 200 damage?
So essentially if you had 600% damage buff your KO blow would do 900 damage + 200 double hit damage?
Does double hit go up at all with damage increases?
Ultimately, for a damage cap brute it would only equate to a 15-20% dps increase correct?
Trying to min max my options here comparing to like melee tree for defense. -
Off topic note, is Ms Liberty no longer in Atlas Park? Is it BABs in the center?
-
Ok I should have been more specific. I know those badges are changing, but what about the RV badges? Thats what I was inquiring about.
-
RV is going unchanged?
-
With all the changes going in we lose a few badges. For example, what happens to the Recluse Victory Statesman and Sister Psyche badges?
-
How is the villain side when spawning Statesman and team?

Quote:You have both T4's in every single tree? Am I reading this right?Originally Posted by Paladin
I tell you, it's just in time. I finally managed to craft the last T4 two weeks ago, so I'm all set for some new ways to grow my main. Still a little lonely without primal clockwork to go with the name - maybe it's time for another optional Lore update they can slap together?
Or rather than implementing new salvage, maybe they could add T5s to each option?
Edit: All attempts to be pelted with rotten tomatoes aside, the Hybrid slot is unique enough that I'd hope people would expand to slot multiple versions on a single character. If they get the courage to bump up the Support slot some more then each option will be worth getting on a single character. It's even more versatile than Destiny, which is saying something.
I have a feeling we won't be seeing trials stop just because someone reaches one level of T4 Hybrid. That'd be denying your character a vast array of power - the slot that most embodies the "grow sideways" power of the incarnate system to date. -
We keep getting the same 3 villains, Scir, GW, and Mako. Is there a trick to getting the other two to spawn? We have literally had the same group 6 times in a row.

Hmm I was thinking it was the new item today because for some reason it got listed on the featured and "new."
-
I just saw Martial Arts bundle on the paragon market, looks like all the stuff I already own though?
-
IE I can use /league, /team, /broadcast etc to talk in those channels.
If I have a channel called "Speed Trial" can I use a slash command to talk in it? -
Cool looking character, what is his story and skill sets?
-
I usually use my Longbow Tier 4 Lore pet but I have been thinking about building a new one and its between these two. According to the DPS on the Paragon Wiki:
Cimerorans are 398 and Phantoms are 267.
This is a pretty significant gap. Aside from DPS, what pros would Phantoms have (Besides aesthetics) over Cimerorans? Are they more range DPS? Different damage type? More survivable?
NOTE: I would be going the damage side not the buffing side. -

Freedom has always been the unofficial farming server.
There are PLENTY of regular mish and tf teams though on Freedom...you just have to step outside of Atlas Park
Since you have not done them I would suggest getting to level 2 then running a DFB (Death From Below) it is a low level sewer trial for teams of 4-8. It will get you to lvl 6-7 easily and it is fun. Then I would suggest revisiting the Hollows...it was revamped some after you left. Once you are lvl 15 there is another lowbie trial called DiB (Drowning in Blood) which is also fun. Both of the lower level trials give you a temporary power/boost which can be quite useful.
Freedom and Virtue are the most populated servers and they both have their own pros/cons. Not sure if you have a level 50 toon, but if you do you may wanna read up on the Incarnate System...the new end game system...to me that is the best part of this game now. The incarnate system is for VIP players only though..not sure if you are premium or VIP. -
I already own all of the costume pieces, auras, CCE, etc. I am basically just trying to build all of the incarnate powers. Is there a most cost-effective way of utilizing the merits?
For Astral, to my knowledge they can only be broken into threads. Is there any other method I may be missing?
Empyrean Merits though can be broken into threads, 15 converted into a rare, or 30 converted into a very rare. Is there a cost effective way for this? Would it be better to get 600 threads or one very rare? -
Now I got all these merits. Is there anyway I can convert them into incarnate stuff? -
Thanks got the badge.
-
For the badge where you have to collect the meteor samples, how exactly do you do this? Just click a meteor ?
-
I don't have mine, after petitioning about it many times and being told "its being fixed in a patch upcoming" I gave up.
I have a character even with it but no new characters can get it. -
Thinking about switching from Freedom to Virtue. I always like being on the most popular server due to the ease of finding groups and incarnate trials and such. Seems Freedom is decreasing in population and rumor has it Virtue is only growing bigger.
Would I see a bigger population on Virtue? Do a lot of Incarnate Trials and such get ran? Badge runs? Etc. -
Quote:Wow what were the animation times originally?Originally Posted by DarkSideLeague
The animation times of the hammers were changed in The May 28th, 2008 patch:
As a result, one of the few benefits of the set (not counting fault), the ability to throw out three attacks in about 2.5 seconds now takes over 4 seconds. -
Well, it should still be up there due to the fact Seismac Smash is a 1.5 animation time its DPA is insanely high.
