Roughly 30 hours after receiving, and replying to, the most recent email from support and still waiting on my influence. I'm guessing the delay is due to this being the weekend, but I really wanna start IO'ing my Crab.

Quote:Level 50's also get the bonus experience, it's simply converted to bonus influence/infamy. Incarnate 50's get 3 rewards (merits, bonus xp/inf, Notice), whereas someone lower level only received two rewards (bonus xp, merits) even if they come back and run the WST a second time once they are an Incarnate. Seems simple enough to change each of the 3 rewards to a separate flag instead of one lumping them all together to solve this problem.Originally Posted by Mega_Jamie
Not really, you got the Bonus XP, that was your non-incarnate reward for doing the WST, are you saying that you should be entitled to 2 rewards for doing it while everyone else's already level 50s are only entitles to one?
The only people that really loose out with this and what you get as a bonus seems to be people who are level 50 without the incarnate unlocked, or people who ding 50 while doing the WST. The latter of those 2 I would feel sorry for, the former has obviously made a choice to do the WS with a non-incarnate. -
Most recent reply was around 6:00 Eastern yesterday evening; they found 6 billion inf in lost emails for me. Still awaiting the return; had to clear the inf from some alts so they can return it.

Even if this is so, this is still a horrible bug. If using the in-game email system even solely for communication, I'd be upset all of my messages were deleted.Quote:Originally Posted by SpaceNut

Oh, I should probably also mention I was on a Kahn TF when this happened to me.

Update on my ticket, if anyone else is wondering about their own.
Received an email from a Senior GM this morning around 11:30 Eastern and replied right away with the information he requested. Still waiting for my emails to be recovered, or another email form the GM, though I'm sure the ticket volume is rather high due to this incident. -
On Freedom this afternoon, I had a huge rubberband and just a few minutes after DC'd. Not only could I not log back into the game for a couple minutes, the website wasn't working either.

Hello all, and thanks for looking into this topic. First, though it's rather obvious, I'm working for a heavy Ranged AoE build. Second, I was shooting for Recharge (and, of course, planning to go the Spiritual Alpha path when that point comes). I also was trying for Recovery bonuses when possible so that I wouldn't have to much worry about Endurance even with all the Recharge and 7 toggles. As mentioned in the topic title, I'm new to VEATs and,r eally, to making my own builds from scratch in Mids'. Any help and suggestions anyone can make would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I also managed to cap Ranged defense with this build; wasn't really even shooting for it in the beginning, but all it took was switching the pet set in Summon Spiderlings.

Same.
I guess I'll take the HO's out of email and wait for them to duplicate. I wonder how many little things I have lost and never noticed.

My petition was bumped up to a Senior CSR a mere two minutes after being submitted; they seem to be on top of this, for sure.

Glad to see this topic. I use my email for storing extra inf over the 2 billion cap and had never been affected by any email problems before. Guess I'll be using alts from now on.

I'll sign up tentatively; don't want to commit as I've not been feeling well the past couple days.

As I mentioned in another topic, it'd be a winning situation for everyone involved if they just decided to exclude the shard TFs from the WTF.

I've yet to actually run Apex, so I'm afraid to sign up for this, but wish you all luck!

"Wow, ITF and LGTF are way too popular. People have way too much fun running these task forces, and do so willingly quite often. Let's try to make people not play them."

I could be wrong, but I'm expecting Vengeance>Fallout>Mutation to do magical things.
Edit: BTW, I did switch out Hover for CJ. -
With most IO sets, I usually shoot for around level 30 or 35. Not a huge difference between there and 50, taking into account ED, and they also tend to be cheaper and allow exemping to 25-30 and still having active set bonuses. Of course that doesn't work for things like purples and such, but for most it does.
Edit: Also, I probably will drop the sleep for Fallout. Personally, I've never been a big fan of sleep, especially in team settings. As you mentioned, though, it'd be nice for a relatively cheap purple set. I guess I'll see for sure when I get there. -
Thanks again for the build help. When I get home, I'll toss it in Mids' and maybe play around with it a bit then get to leveling! Thanks, also, for the explanations as to some of the choices you made; much better than those that are "This is how you should do this, no questions asked."...granted, this game tends to (mostly) have a much better community than that.

Quote:Been having trouble getting logged into the forums today, sorry my response is so late. I'd probably have to agree the ranged would be better than the S/L; honestly, I'm really not too concerned with def/res on this character, but I do see the advantages to it in any situation. as I mentioned, I plan to team pretty much exclusively with this character, so it's just not the highest priority, is what I'm trying to say. Thanks again for the help!Originally Posted by YoumuKonpaku
Fiddling with mids I was able to get ranged to 45% with energy APP, along with 65% S/L res, with some sacrifices to recharge and toying with the slotting a bit. I'd say 32.5% (small purple to cap) range might be a better choice, but that's up to you.
Let me know how you feel and then I'll post something up this afternoon. -

It's going to very quickly become glaringly obvious how many more TFs there are than SFs.

Hey, Youmu, sorry, i've been kinda busy today, too, and not able to check in on this again until now. Having looked at the Defender Epic pools, I'd have to say that Energy looks the best.
-
Heh, I actually read that topic on the /Rad debuffs right after making this topic; I'll check out that Rad/ guide now. Thanks for offering to throw a build together, I have Mids' but still fidn it somewhat overwhelming. If the power selections could be better used elsewhere, I'm comfortable not having a travel power; I don't have one on my new Tanker I've been playing and it doesn't bother me, Ninja Run with a Jet Pack for when I need extra vertical movement is perfectly fine for me. Thanks for the other tips, also!

Hello, Defender gurus! I've relatively recently (close to a month now) returned to the game after a prolonged absence. I've leveled and been playing a Shield/Axe tanker, which I've very much been enjoying, but have decided I would also like to level a debuffer. I've decided on Rad, no questions, for my primary but am having trouble deciding between /Rad and /Sonic for my secondary. The "state of the forums" seems to have changed in the time I've been away, in that the guide stickies are no longer updated and most guides I've been able to find through search are very outdated (pre-Invention System).
Having never really played a Defender seriously before, I've been trying to do my homework best I can. The Res debuffs from /Sonic seem to be very nice, but /Rad looks to have a great deal of potential in that it supplies it's native Def Debuff and can, through IOs, also supply Res Debuffs via procs.
Assuming inf being no object, which of these two primaries would you suggest? Is there a secondary I've overlooked that maybe should be reconsidered? I plan to build this character as a great teaming debuffer, so soloing potential doesn't matter.
Lastly, any sample builds that anyone might have fitting what I'm looking for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone that responds and I look forward to any input you have.
