  1. Sorry, Zwillinger just reminds me of Dakota Fanning and I thought this was the most appropriate place to express that. Carry on.

    As a Widow copied to Beta in order to check out the Arachnos Lore pets, expecting a buff pet and attack pet at Tier 2 with buff pet applying appropriate Fortunata Buffs in or out of combat, The non-attackable, non attacking version of Fortunata is not applying any kind of buff to myself or to the pets both confirmed through active icons as well as current real numbers in Combat Attributes. I am not sure if this is also the case with other new "buff" non attack pets.
    She does use Mind Link, but it's horribly underwhelming. Also, she only uses it every now and then for some reason.

    Support Pets on Lore, in general, are pretty useless.
  3. Zwillinger does not work for NC Soft. He's a community manager for Paragon Studios.

    Your request is like asking Dakota Fanning to have Blockbuster's late fee policy changed.
  4. Ended up crafting the Storm Elementals.. They sure are impressive looking/sounding. Definitely something for Storm characters to look forward to.
  5. Awww, so jealous... Longbow get to summon the Cataphract (Heavy from RV). http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Freedom_Corps_Cataphract

    Pretty awesome.

    Also, I think people will be happy with the "generic" pets. Polar Lights and Robotic Drones are just the Wisp and Drone 48 month vet reward pets... but on crack. One other thing, they don't seem to have that ghostly visual effect that current Lore pets have.


    Something else that seems pretty awesome.... the support pet on Storm Elementals has Hurricane at -30 tohit... pretty impressive.

    Looks like I'll be putting in a lot of time collecting more Lore pets.
  6. Just an FYI to those who are interested. Just popped in to the beta server and the entire list of Lore pets is now in the Incarnate window.

    Toxic Tarantula and Bane Spider for Arachnos, yesssss. I've always wanted the gian toxic tarantula on my crab not only because it looks awesome but the Toxic damage will stack nicely with Venom Grenade.

    Silver lining though - the Community team will be jumping onto live servers in Pocket D during the originally planned playtest hours to give away some Steampunk pack codes and other various costume codes (between 8:00 PM BST -11:00 PM BST). Avatea will be making an official post shortly regarding the what servers we'll be on at what time.

    Again, my apologies for the rescheduling and we'll see you all in Pocket D this evening!
    Doh, I work odd hours so I was hoping to make the EU test session... oh well.

    The NCSoft Launcher... go to Settings and the third tab change it to North America. You'll have to restart the launcher, but the Beta should launch.

    Really?? You're going to call forced repetitive clicking 'play'? Really?

    That's like calling back breaking real mining 'exercise.'
    lf baf!
  10. Like the idea of Vouchers... Certificates, however, seem unnecessary. I don't understand why these things don't just unlock account-wide (similar to using AE Tickets to purchase account-wide AE unlocks). As mentioned earlier, creating a generic character then running to the tailor at Level 1 to make what you REALLY want seems like a chore.

    I'm not nerd-raging over this as it hasn't released, so we'll just wait and see.

    Yeah, there's an entire ocean of whiner tears forming over there. However, it seems to be a couple of people who are spamming the thread with their tantrum. The majority of people are loving this change.

    Even better, play a crab with gun attacks.
  13. I really hope the new Lore powers are up on Beta during this event. I really wanna know what I'll be picking up on my Arachnos Lore.
  14. "19.5" was released around a month and a half after issue 19. Considering 20.5 should be 1 trial (?) and some extra lore pets I can't imagine it being too far off.
  15. Yeah, I usually hear /Mental or /MM, never /Men though... that just seems kinda weird.

    Pass on the Men secondary for me.

    Mental Manipulation blaster secondary. Everyone has access to this as far as I know.

    I'd be a very sad crabby without my spider army.
  18. Ah, for some reason I was thinking it was 20... yeah, 40 would be nice... still I'm already having a hard time trying to get rid of some stuff to make room for a couple of PvP IOs. Besides, my pet powers are already slotted for perma-spawn.
  19. Would love to, but don't have the slots. Also, I don't think the radius on them is too huge so I imagine I'll find myself out of range from pets quite a bit considering they like to do their own thing most of the time.

    Statesman statue

    For anyone interested, here's the Lord Recluse statue. I won it at the PAX Prime M&G giveaway last year. (apologies for the massive size, too lazy to resize.. click on pic to view in new window)

  22. Crab.

    Team buffs, -RES options, high AoE dmg output, DEF and RES, +HP, mez protect, pet options. There really isn't much of a debate here.
  23. I focused my IOs on recharge instead of defense. My build sits at around 35% ranged defense. Anything that comes through will be mitigated by RES, high Max HP/Regen, and pet diversion. In other words, I don't have a problem with survivability. Instead, going recharge can turn you in to a bigger offensive powerhouse.

    Remember, you can always pop a purple to help with defense but there are no recharge inspirations.
  24. I'll take it off your hands. @Blue Ruckus

    Wish List for 21

    Definitely would like to see new IO sets at some point. Posi said they were coming.
