So,
Quote:Since the trial can only be started with a toon that's level 39-41...do the devs expect lots of altruists in the game to offer to start it for people who want the Notice? I'm sure they realize that 99.9999999999% of the players in this game are way too selfish for that.Originally Posted by AvateaMay 17th to May 23rd - Eden Trial (from Woodsman in Eden)
Or are they actually gonna finally fix it? -
I'd take an instant teleport type of power. Long range one though. Like teleport from one side of the earth to the other type of teleport.

Quote:According to the Dev USTREAM, ALL trial accounts are going to be renamed to "Trial####". So you're safe.Woah woah woah!!
What happened to the reactivation weekend so players with duplicated globals could change them??
I know the only global same as mine in the US is a trial account I set up many years ago. I thought we were getting chance to sort these out to prevent any issue?? -
-
While I haven't been around since the beginning, and while this haven't been a bump-free ride. I have to say it was, still is, and hopefully always will be a fantastic journey. Congrats on 7 years to all of us, and here's for 70 more!
-
While this is slightly off topic, what IS considered the top DPS chain for Fiery Melee? I was lead to believe it's Incinerate -> Cremate -> Greater Fire Sword (provided you have enough recharage to run it seelmessly, of course).
-
Fair enough. If anything, they can use it for big fights or when needed instead of the habitual "click when up" we usually do for Hasten.
-
No Hasten was something I kept thinking about. But I couldn't come up with the 2 additional slots he'll need to 3 slot it (outside of the one Silas noted in Fireblast). Plus, I've noticed over the past that BrandX has a tendency to not use Hasten in their builds, so I sorta just dropped the subject, lol.
I'd post the build I made for mine, but mine is a cheap build (No purples or PvP IOs. 20% defence overall. Using spiritual Alpha for more recharge. Hasten and Soul Drain are about 3 seconds off perma with it) since I'm not planning to make him a main toon just yet. I have a Fire/Cold that I'm extremely pleased with. My Fire/Dark isn't 50 yet, so who knows what will change by the time he's there, haha. -
Quote:While I agree with you. There will be moments where you will miss the KB protection. Like getting KB'd the moment you hit Soul Drain, haha. I dunno I guess it's my pesonal preference. I like having at least 4 points of protection on my toons.Okay, made some changes...I thought I had moved that 5th slot in DN, guess I hadn't.
Didn't worry about the KB protection to much, as with lots of defense and the -tohit, on my Defender, that covered KB missing quite a bit, but I liked the idea of getting one KB protection IO into the build.
Quote:However, looking over the build, I'm wondering if the Apoc set is worth putting into Fire Blast. The dmg proc is nice, and the +RCH, but none of that really helps the DPS chain any, maybe I should put Thunderstrikes in the attack instead, as that will be a bit more ENDREC and even more Range Defense.
And if you're using Darkest's night regularly 40% Ranged defence are just as good as having softcap, even better since DN has such a hefty -ToHit in it. Plus you also have Fearsome Stare for addtional -ToHit.
But yeah, the build looks better to me now. I woulda kept Assault and traded the Winter's Gift for a BotZ but everyone has their own style in toon building -
-
The Devs have waited longer durations to make "big" changes to some stuff in the game. See the BotZ nerf.
-
Quote:Sadly mine is built for Ranged defence and my Smashing/Energy defences aren't high enough for this. Otherwise I would've loved to try it.Has anyone tried soloing a pylon since the latest patch? I'm curious to see how fast a Fire/Cold can do it now.
Her build-in-the-making features softcapped S/L/E though. But not sure how long it's gonna take me to make the money for it. It's at least 6+ bil added to the build (maybe 9 if I decide to buy the Glad Armor unique with inf instead of Hero Merits). -
1)The Recharge IOs in Fireblast and Blaze are only giving you 0.2 seconds of recharge. Personally I would definitely either move those to other powers, or looking at your build you're planning to exemp with it. I would definitley replace them with End Redux IOs.
2) There is no Knockback protection in the build. Big no-no. Maybe Replace the Winter's Gift unique with a BotZ: -KB?
3) I'd replace Power Boost with Soul Drain (Slot with an accuracy), really nice to have before Inferno. Speaking of which:
4) One slotted Infero will serve to do nothing but annoy the mobs around you. I'd at least drop the ToHit Debuff/Rech Dark watcher's despair from Darkest Night for a second pure damage in Inferno. And maybe try to find somewhere for a third slot, at least For a Dam/Acc to add in Inferno (the Sixth slot in FireBlast).
5) Not sure if you're planning to get them or not, since they're not selected in Mids. But you'll prolly need Born In Battle/Portal Jockey and Marshal/Atlas Medallion pretty bad. Even with Cardiac your End consumption is still pretty heavy.
EDIT: Looking a little more at the build, while Inferno is nice to have. Maybe dropping it fully for Aim (which is always good to have) and PowerBoost for Vengeance (mule for a 5th LotG, so you can slot a Karma -KB in CJ/Hover/Shadow Fall) would do you better? Just a suggestion. -
I had the same issue with Beta and Test (even without updating OS). Launcher won't recognize beta at all. Detects test but won't le me update it at all. And trying to re-install either of those clients will simply launch me in a circle of download, redownload, redownload, etc. The client just keeps downloading it self over (all 4.5 damn GBs) and over again without ever actually installing. And of course, the NCSoft help was as abysmally useless as ever in that issue and just kept telling me to check my firewall and antivirus like they do for every problem without even bothering listening to what I actually have to say.

Welcome, Freitag.
-
Lol yep. My Fire/Cold corr has been farming +4 council as if they're greys. My Fire blaster has had his speed in completing a +4 ambush farm almost halved with reactive + RoF.
-
Ever since the last patch the lag has almost tripled in everything. Not just the trials. It's so bad that my zoning times are taking over a minute. Activating AoE powers takes like 10 seconds to register. And if I dare hit my judgement power it takes about 20 to 25 seconds for it to go off. Meanwhile I'm just sitting there can't do nothing at all with my toon while I'm getting my *** kicked. Please do something about it. This is making some of my toons totally unplayable. It's beyond ridiculous.
-
What's the error that you're getting?
-
If I'm on a toon with a fast recharging buff type power (shields, SB) I usually try to buff everyone on the league as we're waiting for the AV to be pulled (BAF) or Fighting the EB (Lambda). Then rebuff before the final big fight. Otherwise, it just depends on the team, builds, and the players themselves. Someone having trouble keeping their HP bar up, they get Fortitude (maybe even PBU + Fort if I'm feeling generous enough lol). CM will be cast on any squishy I see in my way. AB goes for the people with the most aggro normally. Stuff like that.
-
Me too! Definitely sign me up.
Make them glow like hot pink. And then make it explode in their face. And for every minute they don't use it, they will lose a full level worth of experience and can do go down to level 1. Maybe, just MAYBE it will start getting those people to actually use their temps...maybe, not so sure. -
Same on Freedom...the lag was pretty bad as is before the patch, and now it's more than three times as bad...seriously /facepalm.

Quote:While I don't have a 50 stormy, I can tell you that my Fire/Cold corr with 33% Ranged has able to farm so much easily and effectively yesterday on the council map with that (I was doing +2/*8. It was just testing how fast she could run it. I'm pretty sure she could've done +4s easily if I tried). She's heavy on recharge so my Sleet/RoF come up every 15 seconds or so. That's up mob to mob bases. Just Blaze the surviving boss.I think a fire/cold corruptor would be much more interesting to farm with.
But yes. I haven't seen anything farm faster than that. I don't even need much defence. Between the KD from Sleet and the fear from Rain of Fire only one or two enemies at best would even look your way. -
I'm having the same problem. On both trials. Lag is a lot worse than it was before the patch.
-
it works just fine for rain powers and regular pets. I just don't know about how would Burn work out with it's somewhat unique "target checking" attributes.
-
Basically what this patch has done is turned every Rain type power into a fully Fulcrum Shifted Blizzard.
