  1. instead of locust or bees, I would rather see something like ravens or bat swarm (murder of crows CCE comes to mind)
  2. Who are you all talking to?
  3. I would say most scrappers and blasters dont need it, and I only have one character with it, an illusion/sonic controller.
  4. and just as I was getting good on the ski courses

    for next year, what are the tricks to getting better/faster runs? I thought a Kin hitting me with Speed boost would do it, but it only shaved a fraction of a second off my final score (49.88) on the toboggan course... the record is under 41 seconds
  5. the problem with the Lord of Winter queue is there was nothing wrong with the old way it worked, everyone got together to beat up on a winter lord, then the present would appear, you knew instantly if you had enough people to participate, now you have to wait around for 30 minutes to get enough people to help... if you are lucky

    What are you looking to do with this Tank?
    nothing in particular, just have fun
  7. I currently have Ice Melee but I'm underwhelmed so far, partly 'cause of the animations switching between frozen fists, shooting ice out of his fingertips and ice swords... what else is a good matchup for IA? Im thinking Battle Axe, but Im open to others

    Don't lock the event. Not the teams, that has nothing to do with it. There's an option on the LFG window that the leader sets for locking the event. Don't do it.

    The worst that happens with open events is that the team order may get jumbled, but that's it. People within the teams stay in the same relative positions, so the team leaders are preserved in those spots. And, as far as I know, no one gets kicked.
    ok, that may be what happened, so that "fixes" the complaint. I still think it needs to go back to the old way of forming though...
  9. Last night I formed a Lord of Winter Trial, when we zoned, all the teams were jumbled badly, and I had lost the league leader status. it took around 1 minute or so to get everything put back where lowbie characters weren't leading teams of 50s (or solo).

    We also lost a player who was kicked from the team when we zoned.

    For his sake I spent another 30 minutes forming another Trial only to have him and one other get kicked.

    the LFG method for this event sucks and needs to be reverted back to the way it was. It takes upwards of an hour or recruiting for a 10-15 minute trial, that is stupid. Never had an issue getting people together to fight the winter lords then click the package afterwards... and you knew upfront if you had enough to complete the trial.

    It wasn't broke, it didn't need fixing...
  10. I didnt see the railroad crossing post from the drawings... is that still in there?

    It's on the second page of this forum.

    And, even though the event isn't specifically mentioned, the Devs are aware for the problem and it's being worked on. It's the Power Suppression bug mentioned in the known issues thread on this forum.


    Hopefully they take care of it soon. =)
    strange, I did a search on great escape and it yielded zero results
  12. the zone event "the Great Escape" is broken, once you defeat the 30 ghouls outside you follow them into the tunnels only to have all your powers suppressed.

    Its bad enough that it seems to be a crap shoot to get the emote (ran solo many times, and didnt get it, was told by support that "I didnt participate enough") but now it is impossible to get it.

    do they (and set bonuses) "level down" when exemplared?
  14. "the tentacles have been replaced with more of an inky shadowy feel." does that mean the same for other darkness powers? i hate the tentacles!

    except the minions are worth zero XP... zilch, nil, nada. the only NPC worth anything is the Boss/AV
  17. I might actually try it now... I dont like grinding the trials, maybe do one or two a month, if someone asks me, and it only took one time through the original for me to write it off
  18. I have an ill/sonic troller, she's a lot of fun, she just now got to 50, and havent thought about which route to take for the incarnate path. I went with Psionic Mastery APP, which gives her another couple of attack powers.

    Really the only thing I can add is recharge, recharge, recharge...

    meh, we didn't have any issues, we formed the teams together before the banners popped, did 2 in a row The League made things a lot easier as well

    Of course you have to have a tray available which on high level toons may be a problem.
    I keybind mine to the numberpad, though I like the idea of a macro...

    unless, of course, you have 50 hero merits and 20 million... no tip missions required

    I agree with you on most counts, I do not find the 50+ stuff fun at all, yes I like some of the shineys they provide (though I haven't gotten past tier 3 on alpha slot). Ive run in the first three and only the BAF trial i can say is reasonably fun.

    I love the DfB trial, I love the new haunted house, I even did a banner for the first time last night and it was fun.

    I have no desire to go any further on the incarnate path as I find it to be not fun and frustrating.

    and as my wife pointed out, some of the incarnate stuff is bleeding into regular 45-50 play and frustrating non incarnates. "just what am I here for?" is a common phrase I hear
