flipside

Now c'mon, was that really necessary? I made no allusions in my post about expecting a full turnout immediately. I knew it was the middle of the day on a weekday, but considering I had the time off I figured it didn't hurt to try and organize one.

No argument here, and when this occurs I tend to jump at the courtyard container to get the team moving instead of standing around pointing fingers.

Thank you StratoNexus, that was what I asking above. Phew, this seems tough to manage.

Very good advice here, but unfortunately did not remedy my issue. I actually sit at a desk with two computers, both with wireless keyboards/mice. I replaced the batteries fresh last night for the keyboard and mouse but it did not correct the problem. I then thought perhaps it is interference from the other wireless setup so I powered off the other wireless keyboard/mouse. Same problem. I then tried pulling my rig out so that the wireless receiver had clear line of sight to my keyboard/mouse. Same issue.

Interesting idea gameboy, but unfortunately also wasn't the cause for me. I took my character out to a wide open space last night, into the water area near the door for Dark Astoria in Talos Island. I faced the door so that there was nothing but wide open space behind me and tried casting my power on the ground in front of me but had the same intermittent issue. I did try changing my zoom level and it did appear to get a little better as I zoomed in close, but I did not like my camera view to be right behind my characters head. But, even then, the problem still occurred, just not as often.

I don't think this is server lag playing a problem. If it was server lag, you would see a timing issue between when you actually got the power to acknowledged you cast it but pause before the game actually performed the animation (which does happen a lot during the new iTrials). This is a delay, or being stuck, from moving your mouse around the screen. That, to me, says it's a client issue.


I'm open and welcome to testing further ideas. I'm still stumped.

So that means all reinforcements when you fight them solo? I.e., fighting Nighstar as the 2nd objective in the trial, and then Siege as the 4th objective, right before you fight them both?

I also agree that throwing all the acid grenades at one player to do the work is more work than it needs to be.

But, I have found more often than not that there is at least 1 player on a team who is oblivious to the fact that they got the temp power, and then spending 1-2 minutes narrowing down who that person is and trying to convince them to open up their temp powers window and get the thing.

Also, and this has occurred only one time in about a dozen Lambda runs, but we managed to use two acid grenades on a single door, leaving one untouched. It must have been lag and/or a timing issue, but there were two players who went to the same door and tossed their acids at the same time. It seems hard to duplicate, but it's possible.

Just wanted to pull this one out to make note that you also earn Astral Merits for everything without restriction no matter how many times you run the trials during a day. If I recall correctly, at base you can earn up to 3 Astral Merits in each trial for completing the corresponding objectives. There are also Astral Merits and incarnate salvage rewards for completing some of the badge related objectives as well, which you can find on the ParagonWiki.

I had really high hopes for the queues. I mean, being able to run around any zone doing "something" whilst waiting in the queue for a trial to form seems like an awesome idea. But, the fact that the queue starts up a trial with the minimum amount required does not bode well right now. Maybe when a majority of the folks running it have their new slots unlocked and filled a minimum team would be fine, but right now it does not encourage me to use it. I wish the queue had two options for each trial: one for the minimum required and one for the maximum required.

And just to note that the level shift from Lore is an Incarnate Shift, which is only applied during the Incarnate Trials themselves. It does not apply to non-Incarnate content.

Hovering off the power in the Enhancement window I see it saying Recharge Time 2 min. 19 sec. The Combat Monitor then shows a Recharge Bonus of 22.5%. That's all the info I have available.

I know nothing about PvP and Diminishing Returns as well.

Thanks for this, but I'm still a bit stumped. In my current build, my character has Rise of the Phoenix recharging in 2 minutes 19 seconds. I then have 22.5% global recharge which, if my understanding is correct, should put the recharge of the power at 1 minute 47 seconds-ish. Even with this, I'm auto-sent to the med bay. I'm a little confused. I watched and it appears RotP does not recharge in enough time as the icon doesn't appear back before I'm auto-teleported.

The first time RotP is clicked, it works fine though. I rez right in place. It's the 2nd time that I use it is when I'm transported to the med bay.

Any thoughts?
