I don't know who's cooler. The OP for making this, or Cuppa for responding in paradigm. I need to go soak my head now. I love you all.

CuppaJo, you rock! The Mancusan bug caused our Tri-Team wipe during the Bugblatter Taskforce. Resolving this will help out us Soma players a LOT!

Look, a good Soma can take on a Dentrid, even solo. You just need a Moebius Spear equipped. I know its stats are total crap, but Dentrids use a Klein Field for their defense--it looks different from the Tensor PC version, but it's the same power--and the Moebius Spear has a +Special that nullifies it for a couple of seconds with each hit (for */Polarity Somas, it actually gives them negative defense). That's long enough for a Soma to get in a couple of good Strikes, then back off until the Spear recharges. I solo them all the time with my Equilibrium/Polarity Soma.

Actually this is a bug. Mancusans are only supposed to spawn in Telenphier Conax missions. It will be resolved in the next server fission.
[/ QUOTE ]NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Rollback the fission. We were farming Mancusans in those missions, darnit! Now what'll we do?? Nerf, nerf, nerf, that's the answer to everything these days. 
Oh, and DOOOOOOMMMMMMMM™!!!
Don't sweat it.
All you have to do is find someone with the Jilliwack primary or the Festoon secondary. Then, head down to SZ and find some paltroons. You will get all the MP's you need from them.

It's the last straw for me. Farming Mancusans was the only decently fast way to raise my TRN stat, and I don't want to have to keep redoing those mind-numbing Conax missions to get them. So, I'm officially quitting. Goodbye, all.

No. I'm giving it away as a prize in the "Farewell Quickblade" costume contest I'm holding under the Veslan holo-statue when my billing cycle ends. Sorry.

Zing - we have a winner. That's exactly what I meant by in reverse - the Multorn Host go through the process of turning into symbiotic Gravid Cell-Seeds once they've absorbed sufficient mana
[/ QUOTE ]
But watching that cut scene where the Multorn Host mutates is really disturbing. I don't think this should be in a family game.
I mean, I don't think I have ever seen anything swallow its own head before.. I'll have nightmares for days.

Oh come on, don't tell me that you think TRN isn't overpowered? The Dev's are concerned about fluxion balace in the upcoming PvPvF update, and are fully aware of how overpowering an early TRN grafted Graver is. I guess they could look away for PvL play, but when other symbiotes are involved, it is a different story.
It is people like you who keep abusing exploits like the Mancusan-knid bug, the Devonian air hammer temporary grafting, and other things that causes the Devs to react in a way that impacts the rest of us.
I bet you had a */insular Soma when the Resonance power had a -150% attenuate value instead of -15%.
Good riddance, and can I have your stuff?

You know what, it's whiners like you who make the devs nerf everything. If I want to have TRN grafted by level 6 Omega, then what does it matter? If you don't like fighting Gravers with it, then stay out of the Stadium. It's how I have fun, and I'm tired of you and people like you telling me I can't have fun my way.

See this si the same crap that made them metastasize all the zones without a steady Mancusan spawnrate. The faction arcpole calculations are *based* on the Mancusan-knid bug, since we've been exhaling Prots through Venetian blinds-style sky vents on the zepptreyng for as long as the inn was located in the loading dock between sector 7 and the Maidenbower hills!
Ok fine, when they decided to add the ventilation ducts to the underground tunnels, they could have bothered to see if the Mancusan spawns would have a problem with knid, but they sure as [censored] knew about it when the server crashed everytime I sold my Gat-helm drops from the shining force cartridge.
I mean who's this game for anyway? Manticore's Dendrite faction short-stories or the paying customers?

What, you have a problem with concept? Some concepts can be considered "overpowered", sure, but most are gimp. I don't see you championing any buffs for people who totally ignore the KYN stat because their character is naturally inclined towards gyro-hockey.

It says RIGHT in the description of Herdion College Composers that ALL forms of liter-fic expression REQUIRE the insperation provided by the sacred impliment of insperation.
For Zephyr-poets it happens to be the hammer.
It is totaly unrealistic that he can only have the hammer available only after Delta-18 and then you have to wait to slot it so you can only have it even HALF the time at Delta-33.
Lets have some semblance of realism here people.

You have the right idea. I'd give you stars, but they were nerfed because they were overpowered. 
Okay, I've rematrixed my build for the Mancusan nerf, and I guess I want to know what you guys think:
Camp:Soma
Province:Spanner
Stature:Delta-34.6
1st Ordinal Matrix:Tachyon
2nd Ordinal Matrix:Nature (Ray)
3rd Ordinal Matrix (Epic):Kartomancy
KYN: |||||||||||
FER: |||||
TRN: ||||||||||||||||
Actual Matrices:
<ul type="square">[*]Tachyon Stare[*]Tachyon Parry[*]Nugol Radiccion[*]Paraflyne Skin[/list]Zoman Matrices
<ul type="square">[*]Summon Andelynnian Mimpo[*]Drawn Supposition[*]Mantid Brevetation[/list]Hereditary Matrices (Epic)
<ul type="square">[*]Kartometric Imposition[*]Quivering Kartolance (fire)[/list]
Mana:12
Bolst:2
Scaling Rate:3.4 (I know!!! 
)
I still have one rematrixing left after the Raid last Thursday of Torbid the Hunjil's Dentrid Caves, so If I gimped myself too badly, I can always try it again.

Have you ever received a loyunian Protecting Shield drop? I've been playing this since pre-Nubian-beta (2nd wave no less) and I've yet to see a LPS of the correct Abule-type (I play a 2nd-class Zinion-Magelet). And what really peeves me is you need an LPS to get into the Devon Downs 7th level of Deceit. If I can't get into the 7th Level of Deceit, I can't farm Ambrotic Crystals which I need to craft into Post-Albunian Helmets.
[/ QUOTE ]
If you spent more time playing the game and less time getting your ideas from the forums, you would realize just how full of [censored] you statement is.
"Board wisdom" states that you have to have a LPS of the correct abule type to match your current squalor level (in your case the abule type would be fulgrid, no, no thanks are necessary.) The reason for this is that people think the LPS is needed to protect against the fragmentary damage that the Granalian temple guards of the 7th deceit level.
Except, had you actually read the saga of briefing from S'aran T'aal the Questmistress, instead of just blundering on like an XP lust crazed PL'er, you would have known that the <gasp> scum seed pods dropped by <wait for it> GRAVID MULTORN RAVAGERS provide an inherent vibratory resistance, which DOUBLES AGAINST FRAGMENTARY DAMAGE.
Besides, people only want the Post-Albunian helmets 'cause they like to show off the bangle-horns to the newbs. You'll get a much better protection value from either a a) Sor'talian skull cap or b)Trellian tiara based off your color scheme. If you are a cyanotic, well, sorry that the tiara is kinda lame looking, but that's what you get for going for the color scheme with the maximum refractory value.
[/ QUOTE ]
Who's the one full of $hit? If you had actually read my post, you would know that I clearly stated that I play a 2nd-Class Zinion Magelet. Got that? Are we on the same page now?
Now, anybody who's played a 2nd-class Zinion Magelet (or, for that matter, an oxciferous/monkish Chaffoid -- although that's a whole other discussion) knows that the Scum Seed Pods have absolutely no effect on the Zinion Magelet 3rd tiers of harmonious reverberous defense.
<shakes head>
I mean sheesh, EVERYBODY knows that!
Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?

The reason I'm not buying CoV is simple.
Playing the beta, I kept getting plorged by the klemdians until my horlage's vito shield kept plinking in and out.
Are they going to fix this before it goes live???

Well, I just wish all you Zinion-Magelets would stop treating us other charator sets as second rate and holding yourselves above the rest of us. We have the same problems as you do, I mean, it took me THREE MONTHS to finally find a temporary Kandor Shield, and it wasn't even constructed properly so I had ot search again, but I struggled through and at the same time I got my Kandor Shiled AND Kanglif Staff (don't nerf it! heheh).
I mean, every time something doesn't go your way you Magelets just whine and say "give me this, give me that" If you want something so bad, take this *quick slash with Kanglif Staff*
Dear lord...
Logic and reason just imploded...

Woah! Since when don't you have to reach levels 35AB along with 39CZ on another charator set to unlock your Kartomancy ordinal? I mean, I haven't seen a Kartomancy user below clearence level 45HH!? ESPECIALLY as a 3rd Ordinal...sheesh.
Other than that this charator set matrix looks wonderful, but then again I haven't played my Soma since the Soma nerf a few months back (haven't had time to rematrix)
And that scaling rate is crazy! I tought my 3.2 was high, but 3.4 is off the chains, man!
A few suggestions, take a few Matrix Points from TRN and add them to your FER, I know a lot of people think FER isn't good for the time it takes to improve it, but it's worth it in the long run when you're facing those damn Riddioans in the 77TQ+ game.
And hey, if you're on the Candeolos server you need to show me your Quivering Kartolance, I only have the water/ice versons.

Well, I don't really think this is a very fair comment. Remember the first post-Nubian Release (pre-Xanobian nerf of course). The Zinion Magelet players were the first to get onside against the proposed Kandor Shield nerf, which I'm happy to say the devs rolled back (although a month later with the introduction of the Xanobian mob with his natural reverberous resistance to the Kandor Shield made it a short lived victory).
