Sorry, random thread here, but I always hear about how the new issue (whichever it is) is causing so many problem. I run Trials/TFs with "so much lag". People DC or crash all the time.
Am I the only one this never happens to? Is it just a quality of vid card/machine issue? I never lag (not in the ITF valley of death, not in trials, not in CoP). I haven't crashed in about 2 years. -
Quote:Serious question--not picking on you, do they still call it "arresting" baddies. I know when I started in i3 that was the big joke, but lately it seems like there is a lot of killing (SSA, for example) without the arresting caveat. So I was curious.Originally Posted by Comicsluvr
(a-hem...arrest them) -

Actually, there will be another new control set before Staff Fighting, that being Darkness Control, which is coming with i22 (Staff Fighting was confirmed as being after i22 hits). And along with Darkness Control, there will be the newly proliferated/modified Darkness Affinity (buff/debuff for Controllers) and Dark Assault.
-
So I hear that Staff Melee is coming soon. I like new powersets so, in some ways, it is not a complaint. I just wonder why another melee set (it is melee, right?) is what we need. TW is still new. Why not another armor(yes, melee, too, but not weapon)? Why not another troller set?

Quick note for those that are idiots like me...I noticed that there were still so many sewer teams forming in Atlas. It hit me one day that they weren't talking about sewers at all, but they were forming DfB trials. Seems incredibly ridiculous to me that people switched to calling it that (especially when it meant something else not too long ago), but for those that are slow like me, "Sewer Teams" are DfB. Those who are smart, ignore this comment.

Just stand near it and you will go into it.
It is the same room, just with Aurora in the middle and Mother Mayhems attacking her. -
I have two questions about the portals in MoM Trial:
1) When we are in the "safe" room, I see the portals pop up, but how exactly am I supposed to enter? I have managed to do it, but I can't tell how. I stand by it, nothing happens. I jump into it, and all I manage to do is jump past it. How are the portals supposed to work?
2) Twice I have been on a team where in one phase, I was supposed to protect the female (sorry, I can't do names, I am confused by who is who). Both times they said, "you will see the portal". The first time I never did see the portal and never went in. Last night I saw the portal once we entered (glowie circle), but I don't think I ever entered--if I did enter, it looked like the same room. What am I doing wrong?
Yes, I am apparently the games biggest idiot. No need to tell me. -
Thanks all. That helps.

I keep hearing about "I Just two starred this player" or something like that. What is that? How do you do it? What does it mean?

Quote:I would agree with you if my point was that he said, "We are not sure, stick around and a decision will be made", but that is not what happened. If they flat out don't know and are going to decide as the team is gathered, I am ok with that. I just don't like how it played out. I also don't like your suggestion of hanging out until they decide and then quit before the queue...seems counterproductive for both of us.Originally Posted by Ukaserex
Neither of you are wrong - well the leader in question should have explained some things to you.
You're trying to get lore unlocked. This means that the odds are that at best you are +1 from alpha. Unlikely, but possible, you may have already unlocked Destiny and made it tier 3 for another level shift.
If I as leader am 50+3, the SSK for teams does not apply to level shifts. You're still level 50+1. At 50 +3, I have a hard enough time with a level 54 +2 AV. But, you see, the leader in question doesn't know you, or if you're level shifted. He could invite you, only to find out that you've never done a certain trial, and he'd have to explain all the little details - which not every leader knows very well. Half of the "leaders" just assume that everyone knows what the deal is, and don't really lead at all, they just recruit.
Many times on liberty, I used to get angry because the leaders wouldn't know what trial they were running. My blasters would do BAF, and my tanks and scrappers would do Lambda.
Eventually, I started to lead the trials a bit, and realized that some teams are ill-suited to certain tasks. Or, I lacked the strategy to make a certain team composition work for a specific trial -so I would want to reserve naming the specific trial the league would do.
If we only have 9 players, well, it's either Lambda or MoM. If we have over 16 players, well, it's going to have to be BAF, Keyes, UGT or TPN. If I have a host of +2s and +3's with about 5 clarions, I would opt for UGT. If not, maybe Keyes or MoM.
TPN, I'm still learning that one, so I'd just let someone else take over for that run.
But, that's just me.
Just join in for whatever they're doing, if they'll let you. You can always quit before they're queued if you don't like what's on the menu. -

Just because that guy was a jerk doesn't mean that you're sane.

I play on Virtue (as well as others), but this one was on Justice. Maybe it is normal there, I only have 2 50s on Justice.

Quote:I have no issue with that. If he has just said, "Well, we will decide when all join" that is a much different response than what I got, imo.Originally Posted by Goliath Bird Eater
I dunno ... I've been on several leagues that formed up before the trial we were going to do was decided upon; it's never really been an issue. Maybe it's just my server.

I'd 2-star someone like that. Can't tell me what trial he wants to form or even thinks he wants to form, and then says something like that at the end?
Yeah... no. -
At least that would make sense...the thing is, I wanted to unlock Lore so needed to know which he was doing. Shouldn't be hard. LOL

TY all for your help. I will not use ITF as my measure and I will slot for -to hit when I can.

I was just in Pocket D and some guy announced, "iTrial forming". I sent a tell asking which one.
His response, "One we haven't done"
My response, "LOL Well which have you done"
His response, "I have lead all but UGT"
My response, "Not trying to be a pest, but does that mean you are going to do UGT?"
We sent a few more tells and I say, " I understand. Ty for your patience with me"
His response, "That's fine, but next time leave it to me to form"
Wait, what? Is it so wrong to want to know which iTrial? I didn't even respond because I thought I was being gracious with my last comment even though I was already a little frustrated, then to have him end it with that...am I wrong here and not seeing something? -
Quote:Good point. I have been slotting fear. Maybe switch to -tohit and let it help me there.Originally Posted by SerialBeggar
That's all? I've seen them ignore Taunt after doing the shout.
Anyway, as for Spectral Terror, I would suggest using it anyway because it has the pbaoe -tohit debuff. -
I guess I am not seeing enough help in this day of IOs and Incarnates to not consider doign something else with the slot.
-
At very low levels, I see something, but the higher I go, enemies just ignore it. I have +acc in IOs as well as acc slotted into power...
-
I have a mind troller who uses [terrify] and several ill trollers that use [spectral terror]. They don't seem to do much, regardless of how I slot. [terrify] may as well not even existed during my last itf. Can anyone give suggestions? I DO understand how fear works (I think lol). I know how it impacts me when I am terrorized...I want to skip all fear powers now.

So as long as Phantasm is in range of ME, it will get both resistance auras? Am I reading that right?
Thanks for the help. My Ill/Rad troller used to rock, but I have neglected her, so I am working to make her awesome again. -
Phantasm is using [Expedient Reinforcement], just fyi
-
Phantom Army cannot be hurt, but if I use the resistance aura IO [Sovereign Right], will it help Phantasm, too (I already have the other aura in that pet)?
Anyone know? -
I find it fun, too, but only for so long. Then I long for the challenge of the old days of striving to win a TF. I know the new Trials are harder, but I feel like they are harder more due to coordination rather than "who is more powerful" kind of thing. I liked dying and then finally prevailing--it felt like it meant something.
