wow... really? .. i guess i should just make a ss/regen brute then and become unkillable against other melee toons. seems how it has no weakness >(!
-
I'm at my wits end, I made a def killer who apparently was to little to late. because somewhere between making one everyone switched to regen without me noticing.
I've tried ss. which bugs the heck out of me how my dmg is so low even with 2 rages and like close to full fury, knockoutblow shouldnt be doing only 295 dmg or 320.. its friggan knockoutblow.. I've tried broadsword, Ninjablade. Martial arts(since day 1 of arena) and spines (which spines could beat a regen, you know... before SETS!).my i tried staff as well but no go
. Now none of these things seem to work for me.
and each time ive been told my dmg is really slow, specially for superstrength and i don't know what to say to that, in pve its just fine easily hitting over 700 to bosses and such, but in pvp, im lucky if i even see 300 dmg when i hit someone with it.
I really am at my wits end. I remember a time when arena first launched and nrg blasters could easily beat regens with their legendary toggle IH. and i remember when zones first came in and spine/regen was all the rage but if you had spines vs a regen a regen could still be beaten. now.. all that seems gone
All I'm asking for here is a melee attack set that is guaranteed to get a regen to quake with fear in pvp. I know there has to be a combo out there that is really good... Personally i am a huge elec armor fan. soo I want whatever attackset that is supposed to work to work well with that armor. I believe in resistance and some defense is better than all def. after all i did make a def killer =P
I also want to know if it can be done without incarnates. afterall I've been successful at winning matches without ever even unlocking my alpha slot, let alone getting incarnates.
so is there any hope out there? or am i doomed to be forever beaten by regens? -

I PMed him last night about this and totally forgot to mention the AMD "driver roulette" problem, but I figured he was an nVidia man anyways.

Please don't think I'm trying to bust your balls. This actually belongs in the Gameplay/Technical issues forum.
But here we go anyhoo.
A couple problems.
- You'd probably need to upgrade the power supply too.
- Your case is also somewhat...cramped. So you might have trouble putting in more powerful (and larger) video card.
You could PROBABLY go to something like a GTX 550 (vs your 520), but the performance bump isn't going to be all that huge.
Bumping to a GTX460 would give you a nice performance bump, but you have the issues I talked about above, plus you have to "stretch" your budget about $20 ($140 for the card and about $10 for shipping).
I really hesitate to suggest an AMD card as well. Mostly due to the driver issues AMD suffers from. The AMD crowd will probably swear up and down that it's not THAT bad, but I find playing "driver roulette" to be a pain in the cojones. And not something I want to "recommend" to anyone.
now i notice i got a reply... just happend to be today... oh well. i cant win @_@.
so i will basically have to increase my spending range and get a new psu as well eh? i suppose it cannot be helped then. ty again for the response though. i was starting to think i would never get one

Hey, I have a question. i want to know what is the best card i can get for this game. i currently have a geforce 520 i recently got and only found out before it arrived that it wasnt really better than the 9500 gt i had been using for like ages. to bummed to send it back i installed it anyways and currently using it.
with that said, im not looking to spend huge amounts of money, ideally anything between 50 to 130 dollars is my limit which would include shipping.the only reason i have the card i have now is because of the nvidia website, i did the card comparison thing with the options i checked off and it was the card they suggested >_>;;
ideally i want to have 30 fps or better with ultra mode on. i current get anywhere from 15 to 24 fps . my monitor only has a max rez of 1024. as far as my rig is concerned mine has the following.
DiabloTek CPA-0280 Elite ATX Mid Tower Case - ATX, Micro ATX, 450W PSU, 2x Ext 5.25", 1x Ext 3.5", 2x Int 3.5", 2x USB 2.0 Front Ports, Black

so. thanks again

Right, it says Archetype Origin. Thus, ATO. ATIO would be Archetype Invention Origin.
still, you can easily look these up ingame if you know how to type them out. and when you look at them they are listed like inventions recipes and such for example
[Dominion of Arachnos: Accuracy/Damage][Superior Dominion of Arachnos: Accuracy/Damage] -

The patch notes say nothing about ATIOs. Nonsuch exist.
The ATOs, however, are "in game" so far as the far as the data for them is in the game, but they are not available to players yet. IIRC< they've said it will be i22 at the soonest.
Enhancements
Fixed a bug that caused some Archetype Origin enhancement sets to have underscores in their display name. This has been fixed for Superior Will of the Controller, Might of the Tanker, Superior Might of the Tanker, Ascendency of the Dominator, Superior Ascendency of the Dominator, Command of the Mastermind and Superior Command of the Mastermind."
its right there. -
are they live yet? where can i find info on them. todays "LIVE" patch notes says they fixed the names of them.. so that means they must be out yes? if not then why post it in the live patchnotes?
also if they in game or will be soon, how do i go about find them exactly?
any help on this will be appreciated!
-
basically i want to know how the "wishlist" system works.
if i put something on my wishlist can anyone actually see it?
is there an actual point to the wishlist option?
if i know a friend has something on their wishlist can i get it for them with my points?
etc etc etc
if anyone can answer these i would appreciate it. -
Quote:lucky you, i20 pretty much killed my no crash streak.Originally Posted by shaggy5
Wow. I haven't had any freezes or crashes since i20 launched.
i went from crashing once to maybe 4 times every other issue to none for several issues until i20 showed up
before this patch i'd login and crash like every 5 minutes, from just standing around to chatting to actually doing missions. no matter what i was doing in game i'd crash. and now since this update today I have experienced two game freezes. -
sooo... this is supposed to fix the 34+ crashes I've had since i20 launched right? don't see that anywhere. And now the game just freezes since the update. Two freezes and counting so far. No White box asking what i did before the crash, just game freezes.

Ah, I had no idea. I rarely ever switch builds and I've unlocked the alpha slot on several of my characters but never noticed anything saying another build has been unlocked, just the alpha badge and such.
It's cool to know I can make a new build if needed. I appreciate the replies and the info with them.
Ty again for the help.
This topic can be closed now ^_^;; -
I really don't have a question about selecting or renaming active builds however i wanted the title to be specific to my question and it is in there but anyways..
My question is "Do we now have a total of 3 builds? or is my game messing with me?"
for the longest time it's been your main build and 1 alternative.
When i went to switch to my alternative today I noticed yet another one So i took a screen cap of it as evidence and such just in case i missed something somewhere.
anyways, I was wondering if its real, then when did it happen and such.

I've never gotten a shard drop or a purple recipe drop ever... mind you I don't play my Incarnate much at all anymore because of that so...
Actually I lie, I'll have to log in, I might have one shard. -
Quote:that is interesting. i only do tfs when targets are well targeted. i did the ms raid on my brute for shards but thats about the onlything i did that was even sort of.. team effort related in awhile. outside of the kahn tf i did this morning i mean.Originally Posted by SpaceNut
I've been running TFs pretty consistently since I19 was released, and I've seen no change in drop rates. I get between 4 and 6 shards on pretty much every TF I run, including a LRSF on Thursday and an ITF yesterday.
Oddly enough, I tend to get them in pairs. I'll get two within about 3 minutes of each other, and then nothing for a while. Then I'll get another pair.
i usually just do my warrior mission or radio missions on 2+8 for better chance of drops as a whole while soloing so i get all the chances ya know? -
as i stand inside my warrior mission i thought occurred to me. what if it wasn't the upgrade to the new hancy so much as a decrease in shard drop rates period? i mean we had a couple of patch updates within the last 2 weeks, this could of been one of the things they did.
i mean has anyone even given any thought to that? I'm sure those who have shards and who are hunting them never really sit and think how many they get per run of whatever they are doing +time it took to get them and see if its consistant.
I mean when alphas came out i was but after i had enough to get my 2nd lvl tier i pretty much stopped keeping count and i didnt bother to really get any on my tank until the weekly strike thing started. By then i had 32 shards saved up so once i had did the stf to start the 3rd tier, i had plenty of shards to make and get started on the next ones.
I ran into some people who had over 90 shards saved up, so again if anything there could have been a decrease in drop rates without anyone even noticing accept for the slight few
who have claimed to have gotten nothing for their work or very little at all for the trouble they went through.
with that said so far i've gotten one with no hancy on but then again i knew i'd get at least 1, i mean after all we all had to get shards before we could even craft an alpha hancy so that goes without saying..... though i just said it, XD. -
Quote:hrm. its worth a shot, ill try it and let ya know the results.Originally Posted by Kitteh
If that's what you are seeing consistently, unequip your Alpha and see if that affects the drop rate.
(I haven't had a chance to try) -
Quote:yep! that's how they suck us in and keep us playing the weekly target thing was proof enough for me.Originally Posted by MrHassenpheffer
you pretty much gotta wait a month to even get the final alpha of your choice, need 4 notices and since we get 1 notice a week... eesh. thats 2 more weeks for me though.
now if only shards would drop more often like when the alpha thing first started
ran the khan tf today with 3 scrappers and a blaster while i was on my elec tank. i went in with 0 shards and by the time we were done i had 2, and someone else only got 1
i then ran one of my contact missions on 1+8 and all i got for all the effort was just 1 shard. it seems like some say once you get the level shift or whatever the shard rate drops.
i used to easilly get up to 5 shards a mission run well every other run but now only 1? what gives. and i used to get 5 in the mothership raids, did one a couple of days ago on my brute and only got 3 for the entire time i was there =\ -
dang, they really make you work for it i see
and here i thought my lvl shift tier would just vanish if i crafted another common. ty for clarifying it for me. -
i totally forgot about the scroll and i started to get angry when i was looking at it because my friend had asked me if he needed to go across from where he was to go up and pick one on the left or right.
ty for reminding me but the question still remains of how do any of us obtain 2 rares when each time we created one to even get to our first lvl shift we lost the previous.
noone has yet explained that one to me.
i took the dmg alpha one err muscular or whatever i think its called back when alphas came out.
clearly we all start off from the initial one. I noticed the moment i had enough shards to go up and craft whichever one i wanted that the first one was no longer there but i never paid it any attention figuring that it was just upgraded to whichever one i chose.
but now that i need to rares the question remains how do i have 2 when each time i craft to another the other vanishes?
it also seems i will pretty much have to somehow have them all just to get to the top which is also baffling to me cause if that was the case then... how is that even possible when they keep vanishing when you make the next upgrade? boy i never thought i'd get confused by this by a simple question from a friend
since before he asked i was pretty confident that i knew how it worked and i personally didn't make a mistake but after that as you can see my confidence just dropped completely ^_^;; -
Quote:we also know just how much more as a whole that extra 2.5 % from lotg is gonna cost ya, what i make are very affordable builds that someone with at best with say 150 to 400 mil in total, can deck out their character and feel accomplished .Originally Posted by Mega_Jamie
Some people do slot those powers and some dont, I also would never dream of putting 6 slots in stamina, as id never be too desperate for recharge to waste slots like that. You could take Hover or combat jumping and put a LoTG in it, have 2.5% more recharge, and move some slots out of stamina to other powers if you want.
alot of people have been very closed minded about their builds only looking at single powers that could be used etc etc, when really everyone should be looking at their whole build and see what changes can be made.
aside from the recharge, you also don't take into account how much end you are getting out of the set as well as the other benefits the set gives you as a whole, when you add it to the other sets you may have that work towards that 5 limit which as a whole i try and strive for so i know im getting the best out of what these have to offer.
i made a very affective fire/kin pler way back in the day and the build total was roughly about 220 million. that same build ive been up against those who have spent billions on theirs, and even if they have perma hasten. i've still have been able to hold my own and impress with sets most scoffed at and wouldn't dream having to asking me how i do what i do.
in the end i always work with what i got and can afford and try to maximize results.
in the end, whether people six slot stamina or not, the set efficacy adaptor set or even the performance shifter set require six slots in a power that can take end mod sets if you want all bonuses these sets have to offer.
aside from all that, in the end "war never changes." GAH! CURSE YOU FALLOUT:NEW VEGAS!
@_@ -
Quote:ya know, some people actually do slot hasten and tough, and i personally 6 slot stamina for the end mod set that gives recharge, which requires a total of 6 slots., i personally have 3 slots in hasten and to get the best out of tough i have it 5 slotted on those toons who are resistant oriented. those others you listed i can see being only one slot, but im sure there are those who will put more than one slot into them anyways.Originally Posted by gameboy1234
No your friend did not make a good point. Of course everyone will three slot Stamina (and probably at least two slots in Health). Considering IO Sets and Uniques, four slotting each would not be considered excessive.
Then you just choose three powers THAT DON'T NEED TO BE SLOTTED. Recall Friend. Assault, Maneuvers, Tactics, Vengeance. Hover. Hasten. Stealth. Provoke. Boxing & Tough. Combat Jumping.
Come on, this is not hard.
you're right though, its not hard, but i also shouldn't have to take powers i don't want just to train up to my level. this is also something that i've been dealing with for years in this game, getting the powers i want and still having like 7 levels or so with several powers i need to take to officially be that level. then taking stuff i don't want at all, even if i never use them, i just don't want them period.
kinda why some of my characters aren't 50, some are just perma whatever level i left them at, usually between 35 to 43. -
i remember when the emote pack came out and so much hate along with it... new pack comes out and its capes and auras and the first page i see is pretty much praise.
heh... i just dont get it, personally im skipping this.. i was never a cape/aura person really. its also why i stopped joining sgs that were popular, they had the whole"gotta wear this uniform with a cape and auras!" if only half the toons i ever made were standard super herotypes, i wouldn't mind capes or auras for that matter, but most are the typical.. 24/7 secret idenity costume which doubles as my hero look.. usually jeans.. a shirt...footwear of somekind... and maybe shades of somekind. when i think about it.. at least 12 of my characters have never even done the cape or aura missions, i just do my costume missions and that's it really.
but aside from my rambling i must admit i did like the atom effects though, if anything i'd most likely use that and thats it.
but ehh. overall its nice that they keep coming out with stuff to keep things fresh, regardless my views on it. i enjoy the effort as a whole and hope they come out with more stuff even better than the last.
